Unfortunately, that did not include the dye or the install; which was another $600. For some reason, I actually thought the hair was that expensive, until someone showed me an invoice where they purchased 22 inch strands of humanity hair for $170 per weft. She also did not match my hair and I have short hair, yet she installed hair with 3 inch dark roots. I looked like an idiot. I had to go to another salon to cut my hair to blend with the extensions as she could not fit me in for 5 days; her suggestion was to add another row of hair to help blend (this was the last thing needed- I didn't need more hair; I needed a proper hair cut to blend). My beads started popping through the extensions by week 2. By week 7 my wefts were coming undone (see photo). Attached are copies of the invoices she sent to me to purchase the hair and a copy of what strands of humanity charges for 22" weft of the strand (which is what she installed on me). The first invoice was for six wefts, she then charged me an additional $700 to get an additional two wefts of hair because six wefts would not have worked. I didn't realize I was being bamboozled until I saw how much strands of humanity charges. I have never had such a bad experience with hair extensions. Tip and everything I spent $3700 for hair that I wouldn't wear if someone paid me. (The strands of humanity hair is great, however the hair she chose for me doesn't match my actual hair and the install was below par). Gayla ruined hair extensions for me. I had them removed today. $3700 down the drain!

A few weeks ago, I was going through the same process... looking up "best salons" and doing my best to find pictures and reviews of individual stylists - trying to pick a "good" one before I called to see if they were available. I was calling on Thursday, getting ready to leave on vacation the following Monday. We were planning a photo shoot the next week, so I was taking a HUGE risk going to get my hair done right before our trip, and with someone who I had never worked with. I called many places, but naturally, some of their master stylist were booked till the end of time, so there was no way I would see them last minute. I finally stumbled on Shag Spa and Salons. They've been in the Woodlands 11 years, and had many different stylists. I looked through their reviews, and further researched any stylists I thought might work for me. Enter Alex! First of all, I was so happy to see she had an IG page with her previous clients before and afters (@alexatshag). Because I couldn't assume her skill based on her years of work (as compared to a master stylist), I needed to see what she had done in the past in order for me to feel comfortable enough to sit in her chair. I've had some awful hair experiences (as many of you have), so needless to say, I was very nervous! I wanted a soft balayage and a trim with some face framing pieces. Simple, yet considering the circumstances, it could have been a disaster! I called Shag to start asking my questions.. Alex heard the receptionist doing her best to answer, and eventually got on the phone so we could talk. I poured my nervous heart out to her ( I really want this, but I'm scared!) Haha. She listened to what I wanted, explained her process, and opened up her schedule on her day off so we could get er done. I met her early the next morning, and before she did anything, we sat and talked and looked at pictures and she again further explained her plan. At this point, all I could do was sit back, let go and enjoy the process (literally - I love my hair being played with!). Alex was AMAZING. She took her time, talked through what she was doing with me, answered all of my nervous questions, and was SO sweet and happy the whole time. She mentioned she loves what she does, and you could feel it - she genuinely enjoyed painting my hair and styling it! The results speak for themselves. At the end (this took several hours), we were both so genuinely pleased, and I was pretty much shocked at HOW good it came out. I've never had my hair look like this before! She was so excited at how great it looked - it made me feel even better about what I had come in for! I mean, I knew I liked it, but when your stylist is sincerely stoked at how great it looks, you know you did well!! I am SO happy Shag was here for me, and that someone like Alex works for them - I have been in the Woodlands two years, and have finally found my hair stylist!! I absolutely LOVE my hair.. Thank you so much, Alex!! (I didn't have great before pictures, but the afters are fantastic!)

My hair…read moreis NOT easy to deal with (highly-dense, 3c/4a/4b coily mix, down-to-my-butt length, tangles right after you remove the brush, etc.). I am depressed and physically disabled (and was recovering from a major surgery at the time), so I had been unable to do the usual upkeep necessary for my hair with any kind of regularity. Honestly, it was a dirty, fairly matted (to the point of looking like I had a few poorly-done locs) HOT MESS. Just THINKING about doing my own hair, and how bad it had got, had me in tears for two months. I thought she'd have to cut a lot of it off tbh. She didn't turn me away, like I half-expected. It was well-within her right to see the rat's nest on my head and just refuse service or rebook me, but she didn't. That grace is something I still appreciate to this day (I saw her pre-pandemic, so this was some time ago). Doing what she did for me was beyond the job I paid her for; I am so grateful she helped me! ** a friendly reminder to be sure to tip your stylists/hairdressers!! ** For reference: It took 3 or 4 people simultaneously flat-ironing my hair at another salon (the "Texas Hair Team" over by Spring HS) to get it done in over 4 hours. THEY also told me that I "needed to get [my] hair relaxed or don't come back." That time I had gone in for ONLY styling with CLEAN, DETANGLED hair in a few large twists. Girl, bye. Ms. Marchel did it BY HERSELF, MUCH FASTER (an hour and a half MAX for detangling, shampooing, conditioning, detangling again, drying, another quick detangle, and the silk press itself), didn't charge me extra for the texture of the hair that naturally grows out of my scalp (as so many salons around here do... iykyk ), didn't complain at all or guilt me, was professional, and did a damn good job! I was ASTONISHED by her speediness, how thorough she was, and the result!! My curls also bounced right back after wash-day! No heat damage! It's been awhile since I've seen her, but I still HIGHLY recommend her for a BEAUTIFUL silk press on natural coily hair!

First, let me start by saying I think this stylist does a decent job with basic and natural styles…read more My review is on a sew-in experience I had at this salon. My sew-in experience was tragic to put it lightly. The appointment started off well. I brought in 2 bundles of hair. The stylist said she would color it to match my hair color. She colored 1 bundle of the hair. During my appointment, one of her friends/clients came in to discuss a style she was planning to get the following week. Although this salon is marketed as a private setting, this client/friend was allowed to sit and talk during the duration of my appointment. As she was sewing the tracks, she would continue to look at her phone. I'm not sure if she was looking at directions on how to do a sew in or what. When my hair was done, I informed her that I'd like it cut to resemble my natural hair length. Once I left the salon, I saw where tracks were visible at the top (she had to see this before I left), so I went back and she attempted to fix it. Once I got home, not only could I still see tracks at the top, but thread was popping out in the back and a track that was not sewn down was also sticking out. I sent her a picture and she told me to either cut it or Bobby pin it until the next time I return to the salon. The next day (Sunday), I had to get the sew in taken out by someone else because it was falling apart. It was the worst $200 job ever. She did not even cut the tracks to fit naturally. She simply rolled them on top of each other, which made it extremely bulky and impossible to lay flat. I sent her a text that Monday informing her that I had to get the sew-in removed. She never replied. A simple acknowledgement or sorry would have sufficed. For that reason, I realized this is not the stylist for me. Although I wasted a lot of money, I simply see it as a donation to someone who needs it more that I do!
