    The shop!
    Oliver C.

    In my rushed efforts to find a stylist my last day in town I was referred here. With bad weather in Dallas the shop was open and fully operational. Even though my appointment stylist was unable to make it they have a team of stylist that are great enough to fit me in between their other clients. So So So greatful they didn't turn me away. So my stylist Nyke welcomed me in and got right to it. Even when I was waiting for the next steps I felt waited on. I feel the service is very efficient (in and out) with very clean amenities. 10/10 and this is my first visit. Will be back! Very happy with results!

    Listen, hands down these ladies are rocking out. I was referred to Dreads by Dotie by my brother Gentry because this is my second go around with locs and I wanted to make sure this time around that my experience was worth it. I immediately hopped on the website and was able to book with Jessica, "Girly" and she hasn't skipped a beat with my hair every since I've been going to her. Today, I went in to have my hair serviced by DoughTee because Jessica was out of the shop and she took care of me in Girly's absence. This is the definition of teamwork and these ladies are A-1 in my book. They are worth the time and the money

    This is how I left

My best friend's wedding, my trip to other countries, or just another week day and they make my whole week. I come in for a men's haircut. I have been to so many places and Haru Salon is the only one for me. I can trust them to do an outstanding job and leave me filling with confidence. I'll walk you through the process. First they don you with two capes and another item for your neck. Is it cold? They have a closet that warms up your jacket. Second they wash and massage your hair and your back in a massage chair. Next they cut your hair to your liking and walk you through the process - they will tell you what looks good and why. With the amount of meticulous care I've seen them take compared to anyone else blows me out the water. Another hair wash (okay this is new to me since I have never seen a second hair wash in the North) and styling, waxing, blow drying your hair. I cannot emphasize how much I love this place and will always return. Keep up the amazing work!

    A few weeks ago, after reading the reviews and having been familiar with the Frederic Fekkai…read moresalons, I came for a 1" trim to my long-time, blunt-cut, medium-length (3 inches below the chin), slightly angled bob, beveled a bit underneath at the nape. It was quickly dried and styled in center or side parts, with lots of volume, lift and swing. Elegant and easy. Derek said he couldn't understand me. I should have left immediately. What I have now is an inexplicable cut, 2-5 " off, barely chin length, huge amounts of hair removed, wispy layers everywhere, and texturizing. He has activated a mass of waves and curls never seen before. From the front, the shape is a cartoonish wide diamond. From the sides, a fat wedge. This is the opposite of what is required for copious, European, fine, porous hair with a nape curl and minimal wave. Derek basically has created a White girl Afro. He somehow dried it beautifully, disguising the weird architectural structure by using a tiny brush on myriad narrow strands, drying them straight, and contorting them via elaborate manual sculpting techniques, product and nearly an hour of work. Maybe he planned to do twice-weekly blowdries on it. I have spent many days and dollars elsewhere experimenting with product, techniques and professional advice while attempting to cope. Derek pleasantly refunded the charges and apologized for the "inconvenience." This is far worse than inconvenient.

    If you are thinking about getting your hair done but is afraid that your stylist is unable to get…read moreyour hair to where you would like it to be, then you definitely should visit John. John is knowledgeable in different types of cuts, colors, and types of hair, so if you're unsure whether he will know how to deal with your hair, don't be -- HE WILL KNOW! Not only that, his prices are cheaper than others. I've scoured Google and Yelp for a few days and decided that I absolutely wanted to go with him because he had all good reviews, shows his cuts and styles on Instagram, and is booked for months out. Because of this, it's best to schedule a haircut online with him -- you'll be able to find last-minute openings. John is patient, knowledgeable, and kind. He's there to give you a haircut, but he's also there to spread some knowledge. He showed me how he was cutting my hair and why he was doing it. His consultation was also very helpful, especially because I didn't know anything about hair and how to style it. I wanted to change the way my hair looked in both style and color, and John was there to give feedback and what he thought was in my best interest. I felt like he should have charged for his consultation because he spent a GOOD amount of time providing advice and feedback, time that's worth money, especially when I was his last client for the day and it was getting late. Because he didn't charge extra for consultation, I provided a good tip. What I wish beforehand, which isn't really John's fault, is how to enter the building. It was late, so the door was locked -- luckily, there was someone who let me in. If you ever encounter this situation, just text John and he'll come open the door for you! Overall, I believe I am a permanent client of John's. My husband loves my hair and believes that John did a really good job, especially for the price you're paying. I highly recommend John!

    Absolutely insane. I come in for a 3o'clock, and am left with my hair unwashed while the owner…read morerefuses to give me a clear yes or no on what I can/cannot do with my hair currently. After the eventual wash, he left me to style my own hair while he went and talked to another guest right beside me. While writing this review he looks at my phone and comments. This is crazy, and what I was left with was nothing even remotely close to what I had asked for in the picture. Which once again, another factor of him refusing to give a yes or no. The only thing we were clear on in the end is that the cut and style were sub-par, and that I did NOT want to pay.
