I'm a…read morestudent at Texas State and when I moved down here I had the hardest time finding someone to do my hair just the way I like it. I have been coloring my hair since 2007, and I'm VERY particular about who I let touch my hair. Blonde is very tricky, and I want my hair to be perfect! Delma always does a spectacular job coloring and cutting my hair. She actually knows what a trim is and never cuts too much off! I'm never disappointed. She's not only an amazing hair dresser, but also an amazing person. I am so blessed to be able to have found her!! I would definitely recommend her! **the pictures were taken a couple of months after getting my roots done.

Veronica is a very nice person, but I would NOT recommend her for a balayage. The hair treatment…read moreshe gave me not only looked nothing like the picture I gave her, but it was also very poorly executed. The application style was extremely chunky, uneven, and even worse had "leopard spots" in several areas. The top looked like tiger stripes. When I went to another salon to have it fixed, they said there were areas that were left on too long and others not enough. As you look at the deeper layers of my hair, you can see the bleach was applied in random diagonal lines. Definitely not the quality you expect from any stylist let alone an experienced one. The other salon was able to fix the high stripes but because of the random application of the bleach they had to return it all pretty much to brown and start over. I have to wait 6-8 weeks for my hair to heal before the other salon can give me a new blond balayage. I am getting engaged in a few weeks, which is why I wanted my hair done in the first place, and now I will not have my hair done for day of my engagement. Although she gave me a PARTIAL refund, it did not cover the repair costs and definitely is not going to cover the second good salon visit for a proper balayage. Even if she did give it all back, the additional repairs are going to cost me over $150 more than what I would have paid if it was done right the first time. Again super nice women, but I would NOT recommend her for any hair treatment.

My curls continue to be happy and healthy because of his recommendations and care. It's a bonus that he's talked me out of a few bad hair choices and encouraged me to take a risk when I was feeling hesitant about a shorter haircut. If I could give Corey and his salon 7000 stars, I would. You won't be disappointed with him or anyone there- from the moment you walk in, you're treated like royalty. The vibe is always relaxed- trust that you'll be pampered!

I've spent more than my fair share of time and money in salons across multiple cities and states,…read moreand Salon MINK is still one of my absolute favorites. I first came here as a Bobcat--IYKYK. Young and broke, but protective of my curls--and my very first stylist was Ray Reeves. The only things bigger than his talent were his personality and his heart. I trusted him instantly, and if you know anything about curls, that says everything. I moved away after graduation, but when I landed back within driving range, I didn't hesitate--clocking 45 minutes each way and passing plenty of other salons along the way. (Bombshell Beautique--you could never.) By then, Ray had passed, and I began seeing Corey Casey, his partner and co-owner. It was immediately clear why they built this place together. Corey is every bit as kind, talented, and grounded. I give him a general idea, he hands me a mimosa, and then works his magic. Shorter, longer, lighter, darker, touch-ups, tighter curls, or full blowouts--I've never left looking or feeling anything less than fabulous. From the neck up, anyway. One of the things I appreciate most is that Corey takes his craft seriously--ongoing education, advanced training, and a commitment to excellence not just for himself, but for the whole team. So no matter who you're booked with, you're in good hands. I even got my boyfriend to start coming here, because they've got a solid barber, too. The salon itself is always welcoming, always stylish, and somehow still relaxed. The staff is lovely, the product lines are legit, and the whole experience feels like a proper treat without ever being stuffy. If I had to complain? The parking lot! Tiny, cramped, and shared with other businesses. But hey--that's downtown San Marcos, so leave five minutes for creative parking. Ten if you've ever failed a driving exam. Also? The bathroom is a Dolly Parton shrine worthy of pilgrimage on its own. Suffice it to say: this salon understands the assignment. Sadly, I've moved away again and (begrudgingly) found a new salon and stylist. But there will always be a big, glamorous, perfectly highlighted place in my heart that holds Ray, Corey, and Salon MINK.

Now, curly hair takes an incredibly long time to straighten. Ashley took the time to straighten my hair and then curl it perfectly. She put an incredible amount of spray and cream to make sure it would not frizz in the humidity. I have to say, it looked great. What really stood out to me was the fact that I was treated like a valued customer. She made sure she knew exactly what I wanted and then tried to recreate it. I am very happy with the experience. I will be going back.

Booking was super easy, and when my job unexpectedly needed me earlier, she went out of her way to fit me in almost an hour early so I could still make it to work. The salon was clean, cozy, and welcoming. She took time to learn about my hair history, lifestyle, and goals instead of just focusing on the haircut itself. Throughout the appointment, she explained every product and technique she used, taught me how to better care for my curls, and even recommended affordable product options instead of only expensive salon brands. The haircut turned out amazing, and when I later realized I wanted it shorter, she squeezed me in the very next morning on short notice and fixed it for free. I've paid far more for curly cuts that weren't half this thorough. Absolutely worth every penny.
