Todd "greeted" me by berating me for touching his door knob…read more I sympathize completely with his worries about COVID threatening to shut down his business, but as I had already sent him a picture of my vaccine record, I would have expected a friendly reminder instead of a rebuke. Concerning the actual haircut, I am admittedly very introverted and know nothing whatsoever of style. The very reason I chose an upper-scale hair salon was that I wanted some guidance, some help, on what sort of new hairstyle would suit me, but I got no useful advice, and on the contrary, faced sarcasm for asking him for a recommendation. I told Todd I wanted a haircut that required very little maintenance, but looked reasonably good, to which he replied that if I wanted something out of my haircut, I'd have to put in the work (as if there were no maintenance friendly haircuts for guys) I tried again, and asked: "Well, what's fashionable these days?", to which he cynically replied: "Mullets are fashionable among teenagers." I fail to understand why he deemed sarcasm an appropriate response to a polite and reasonable question. Other hairdresser usually have little portfolios of recommended/fashionable haircuts, but Todd wouldn't even give me any advice, and furthermore, with his condescending passive-aggressive attitude made me feel as if I was to blame for his inability to give me the simplest guidance on my style. Finally, I showed him an old selfie, and asked him for that haircut. I am not even pleased with what I eventually got. In conclusion: I do not recommend this place. I was treated very disrespectfully, and the haircut was mediocre at best.

Pamela is my stylist and from the moment I walked in she was fantastic. I showed her a couple of pictures of how I like my hair cut and that was all it took. Less than an hour later my 6 months of hair growth was history and I was back to being well-coifed again! The entire experience was relaxing. Great conversation. And great hair cut and style. I also find that the true quality of a haircut shows through after a few days. And I can report happily that Pamela's cut looks as good as today as when I walked out of her shop. Cannot recommend highly enough!

However, my last visit with new stylist Belle left me with complete shock and disappointment. We clearly did not have same idea of color, but I also ended up with a refresh butterfly cut with terribly uneven layers all around my hair, and hair around my face chopped back to my ears because she wanted to remove weight. It was also extremely texturized leaving holes through out my hair. I for sure had damage but walked out with even more somehow, and didn't even realize how bad because she didn't do the included styling at the end (realized at home this cut was impossible to style!). They offered a corrective service which I appreciated after spending $400, and knowing it's a small business. Salon owner was nice but ultimately the color was still off (explicitly asked for a shadow root but just had lots of chaotic bleach), and cut hair was already cut and too far gone to blend apparently. Senior stylist who was correcting also continuously yanked my hair in the bowl, saying she had to in order to get the toner on everything. Super painful and I don't even have a sensitive head. Didn't realize how bad and uneven it still was all around until getting another corrective service at another salon recently. Such an uncomfortable experience overall and definitely not the salon for me. Hope others have a better experience or go to Wheelhouse ATX who has been nothing but kind, professional, and very skilled at handling a very messy correction

I've only left Apotheca for about two hours and I cannot get over how stellar my haircut came out!…read moreNot only is this salons truly spacious, clean, and well lit, but the entrance is a horticulture's paradise. They take pride in creating a community and you can see how embracing they are for everyone to come and get their hair done here. Not only is this a safe space and open to all for the queer community and beyond, but they offer hair, makeup, spa, and treatment services. I was able to make a same day appointment and was guided on how they have a few different tiers of stylists and after going over my needs, the receptionist guided me to book with Samaia. We all know how annoying parking can get, so I was stoked when they informed me about the complimentary parking within the same building for retail. It's the first three floors so make sure it's marked for retail (we hate getting towed in this house). As I walked in, I was promptly greeted and asked what I would like to drink. Now in all my years of getting my haircuts, I have never been offered SNACKS upon check-in. What a simple yet amazing way to elevate your salon. They had alcoholic and non-alcoholic options and you're encouraged to access the snacks and fridge if you desire something else. My barber/stylist Samaia met me in the lobby after I waited for a few minutes and ushered me into the back. Don't let your initial opinion fool you because there are like 10+ chairs and a dedicated hair washing room (with charging stations) there. I was informed my cut included a wash, style, and cleanup which was much appreciated. I showed her a few examples of hairstyles that stood out to me and she gaved me her open and honest expert opinion which was so nice. I loved she didn't just say yes we can do that and then hit my hair. We took a few minutes discussing options and we decided on a cut that would give me the effect I desired yet room for growth. Samaia's skillset transformed my hair and gave me the Cinderella effect of transforming me from a pumpkin to a beautiful glass carriage. She took her time and carefully used scissors and plenty of different tools for my hair. Many of which where the first I've seen even with my multiple visits to salons and barbershops in my lifetime. What stood out to me though was her approach to educate and demonstrate how to utilize tools when at home. It felt achievable and I even ended up purchasing a diffuser tool for my blowdryer. My hair feels and looks like a celebrity cut and I am so thankful that Samaia was able to give me the haircut I've been wanting to have for the longest time. I'll definitely be back!!
