    All my different colors and styles
    Jessica F.

    Alexa has been doing my hair for a year now. I'm one of those clients who does vivid colors and wants something different EVERY. TIME. Shes been able to whip out everything I request. Switching from vivid blue to cotton candy pink, periwinkle to magenta. All the while, doing deep conditioning treatments and being real with me when I need to chill lol The recent request I've had is 18 inch hair extensions and oommmggg I love it. She really is the best because she keeps up to date on education which is ESSENTIAL in a hairstylist. The industry changes every day so its important to have someone who's educated and not outdated.

    I've been going to this spa for the last 4 -5 years and it's my favorite. Every time i go I come out like a new person. Escarlet it's the most charming and professional person I know. The best part it's sitting in the relaxation Room and have a glass of champagnes before my facial. I Love it and recommended 100% to my friend.

    Alira Med Spa makes sure your needs are met by going above and beyond the expectation. I've been coming here for about a year, and the facials are so rejuvenating. Escarle has the latest technology and skin care products that is perfect for my skin. Not to mention the nicest staff and very punctual. I never have to wait for my appointment. I LOVE alira med spa, and I'm so happy I found my one stop shop! Massage and then a facial is the perfect combo to turn your day around! Thank you Alira Med Spa!!!

    Alexa is literally my hair Angel After going to the most popular hairdresser in Houston and suffering from some breakage... Alexa totally brought my hair back to life, and helped me get some major confidence back. Alexa is the only person I trust with my hair! She gets me blonder than I could imagine, helps me maintain it, and keeps my hair so healthy. She's a total life saver and just an amazing energy to be around. THIS IS #HAIRGOALS

    Front desk and salon area

    I arrived on time for my massage appointment and there was parking out front - 4 parking spots in front. This place is a cute little house that they converted to a spa/salon and is easy to find cause the sign is right out front and easy to spot. I think parking might be a little tough when the 4 spaces fill since W Alabama is such a busy street and it would be hard to get in/out of the parking spaces out front because you have to back out into W Alabama. I went inside and the hostess greeted me at the podium out front near the salon area and told me I needed to fill out a questionnaire, she was friendly.. She took me out back to show me my locker and change into my robe and slippers. The locker was a nice touch but the changing room is the bathroom and you didn't have space to put your clothing. You are then placed in the waiting area where you wait for your masseuse - 3 couches and a fire place. I was not offered water or tea and had to get my own fruit infused water. I wish they also had tea and other items to offer - if they did, they didn't offer me any. My masseuse came to grab me fairly quickly after that. We started slightly after 5pm after the questionnaire and changing. She told me to lay on my stomach and didn't seem to know to go out of the room so I could de-robe, which made it a little awkward. Was I suppose to de-robe in front of her? I waited for her to leave and she gave me a SECOND to situate before she came back in, literally a second because I did not have time to cover myself up with the covers or situate myself on the table before she came back in. After like 10 minutes into the massage, she asked if the pressure was ok, which I appreciated and told her I would like a slightly deeper pressure. The massage felt rushed, she didn't have many techniques and kept repeating the same strokes, the massage was not fluid and at times some of the movements actually felt painful. I did not feel like she kneaded out my knots or got even close to doing so. She focused mostly on my legs and arms, though I specifically said neck, shoulders and lower back in the questionnaire, which makes me believe she didn't read the questionnaire before coming into the room. The massage ended right at 6pm, which was not a full 1 hour.. she left the room and I had to robe up to walk out and tell her that I had scheduled a 80 minute massage, not 60. She told me to get back on the table, did not leave the room while I de-robed again, and did not instruct me how she wanted me to lay. I asked her if I should lay on my stomach, and she said it was up to me what I would like to focus on. Again, I specified neck, shoulder and lower back. She had the same movements she did over and over again for the last 20 minutes, and she actually ended the massage earlier right on time. With the stop in between and ending on time and starting slightly later, I didn't feel like I got a full 80 minutes on the table. She did bring me a cup of water afterwards though. I felt like maybe the masseuse rushed through because the salon/spa closes at 6pm. I scheduled an 80 minute at 5pm and if they didn't want to stay a little later after close, they shouldn't have scheduled me at that time. I got the Travelzoo deal for this and paid $95 for the 80 minute massage. I felt like I could've done a lot better at that price or paid slightly more for something I would enjoy. I don't think I would come back.

    Choppy layers of all lengths
    Nicole C.

    Worst haircut of my life! I made an appointment online, when I got there they said there was no record, but they had "someone" available. (Nit the someone I read reviews about and selected, just someone) I should have listened to my gut and left then. But I really needed a trim, and I was already there. She didn't speak English, NOT AT ALL! Another reason to leave, but I was already washed and in the chair. Then, what was supposed to be just a trim became the "Rachel" cut on crack. Layers everywhere. There are layers in the back that are shorter than my bangs. I couldn't even say anything. I just paid and ran out. The damage was done. I feel like they asked the cleaning lady to cut my hair. I'll have to wear my hair up for the next 3 months at least.

    My haircut with Ivonne at Alira Spa and Salon
    Lindsey D.

    I have been going to Alira spa and salon for the last 3 years and absolutely love it! The owner, Escarle, is amazing! The way she created Alira brings out happiness, peace and makes you feel beautiful! I get my haircut with Ivonne and she does a perfect job! She loves what she does and it shows! My hair has a mind of it's own and can be difficult to manage, but Ivonne always cuts it and styles it in a way that makes my everyday life with my hair easy! People always compliment me on my hair. I get massages with Jesús regularly. He is the best masseuse EVER! I workout a lot and feel so refreshed when I leave. I also feel his massages have helped me to get stronger! Everyone who works there is so friendly! I highly recommend Alira to everyone reading this (and already recommend to all my family and friends

Light snacks, like cranberries and nuts are provided along with hot tea options, and citrus flavored water. The space is very nice. There are locker rooms with plush spa robes and complementary slippers. The locker room has two steam showers if you want to wash yourself after your massage. They also provide hair products to try as well as a Dyson hair dryer. I was definitely very impressed with the luxurious feel of the spa, however, was turned off by the receptionist who checked me in - her robotic, transactional nature was starkly juxtaposed against the warmth of the spa. I noticed she was the same with all customers so it wasn't personal but interaction with her was unsettling. I booked the 60min signature hydrafacial and the esthetician was welcoming and willingly customized my facial based on my requests. No major issues encountered but I noticed we started 10 minutes late and ended 10 minutes early so I thought marketing it as a 60min experience was a bit misleading. Also note the 60min Signature Hydrafacial does not include any hand/neck massages nor boosters nor light therapy so the $285 price was much more expensive than my usual spa. I will not return for another facial but may try massage in the future. We also booked pedicures and again the space is beautiful!! We were given a palette to select colors and the ladies were extremely friendly! My toes came out adorable! I found the seating to be very uncomfortable for a short person despite many pillows placed behind me for support so I honestly struggled to enjoy the experience but the space was very nicely decorated and clean looking. We were offered tea and snacks at the beginning as well. Overall, this was a very nice spa. I found it fairly expensive and overpriced, but I recognize beautiful spaces have a cost and that's what I should've expected in the River Oaks area. There is complementary validated parking!

Parking: Parking is the only issue I have with Cutloose - it's right in the heart of Montrose and there's very limited parking options. They don't have their own parking lot so you do need to find street parking. I've always been lucky enough to get a spot pretty close, but depending on the day that can be a challenge. Price: Their prices are standard and I believe they do depend on your stylist. Ambiance: There's something cool and chill about Cutloose. There's some hustle and bustle, but I always feel comfortable and relaxed here. The staff is very friendly and you're always greeted in the entry area. I believe you're generally offered a beverage when sitting and waiting in the front as well. Other things to note: They do sell various hair styling products They have nice, clean restrooms Their front door can be a bit heavy and I believe has a step up. There is a second floor inside with a few steps up to it as well (for those with mobility issues I think it's noteworthy)

Nonetheless, this place still gets the job done right. I walked in on a Sunday around 3:45 PM and, despite seeing about 3-4 people ahead of me, I was seated by 4:35 PM - not a bad wait at all! I opted for the wash, cut, and blowout, which came out to a total of $35. I was finished by 5:05 PM, so the service was quick and efficient. (You can call ahead and make an appointment as well). They also let you check the front and back of the hair with a mirror to make sure you like it. Open on Saturdays and Sunday - so perfect for those who are busy/don't have time on the weekdays and need something quick. A heads up: they only accept cash or Zelle, so come prepared. Street parking is available. Overall, If you want a simple, straightforward, budget-friendly haircut without the fancy extras, this salon is a solid choice.
