This was the best hair salon experience I have ever had! First of all, Patricia squeezed me in for an appointment the same day that I called, and made me feel so welcome and at home as if I was with my family. Patricia cut my hair exactly how I envisioned it and was very honest with me regarding how I wanted my hair colored. She helped me find my new look and was so much fun to talk to! She is the most talented stylist I have had and I will only continue to go to her in the future! Patricia and her daughter, Daniella were so kind to stay late one evening to color my hair. I could not believe the generosity and selfish service. They are too wonderful people and I am so thankful to have met them! She helped me find my new look and was so much fun to talk to! She is the most talented stylist I have had and I will only continue to go to her in the future! read more

Patrizia is amazing! She fixed a botched hair cut within an hour and she even helped me like my color more. I absolutely love her and I highly recommend her. read more

Good atmosphere, kind service and a nice haircuts. I'll be returning and I'll recommend to my wife.

Love this place. Patrizia is awesome. She says she is not a magician, but I've seen her do wonders! If you've never been to this place, you should go and get what you need done. Great consultation. I use the products she uses on my hair so I can go home and style it the way she showed me. My color stays bright and my cut grows out perfectly until my next visit, even if it is 6 to 8 weeks later. Thank you Patrizia! read more

Unfortunately this spot did not work out for me. The owner was a friendly woman with a lot of personality. Fun to talk to, confident, and bold. I went in to get my color corrected. I liked my red color, but it was spotty, and had dulled within one wash, so I wanted it to be brought back to life and preferably done well. I showed her what I didn't like, discussed what i wanted, and she brought me her color books. I instantly picked a warm auburn shade in the 'natural red' family, and she responded with a " gosh, no, that's boring". She pointed out the brighter red shades, showed the same colors to me in 3 different books, and said they would go great with my tone. I agreed it was beautiful and shiny, but hesitated to argue that it seemed too bright, as she had said it would suit me, not be boring, and presumably fit with what i had asked for during consult. While she applied the color, there was a point where she described herself as someone who wouldn't hesitate to give their opinion since that's why we went to a hairdresser in the first place. As an example, she stated "like when i told you not to pick the first color since it was boring". As the color started processing i mentioned how it looked much brighter than i wanted, and she said not to worry, it would darken. Once rinsed, it was a vibrant unnatural shade of cherry red. I again said it was not at all what i was going for, but she brought out the color book and showed that it was exactly like the sample she had shown me. Whether it turned out like the sample or not, i was not planning on entering the clown business, so i was dismayed. She kept raving about how beautiful the color "I chose" was, and how well it went with my green eyes (they are blue) and i decided to see if it would grow on me. I met with a student shortly after who just looked at me and said "woah". Later my boyfriend tried to avoid the topic until cornered, at which point he said "it's bright" and finally "i liked the bad color better". I realized it wasn't just me being boring, and called her up to see what could be done. This is when things went wrong. I can fully acknowledge that i should have insisted on boring... I knew what i wanted, and shouldn't have let myself get swayed, even by a confident pro. However, it ruffled my feathers that she was argumentative and playing the blame game. "But it's such a beautiful color" and inexplicably "did you tell your boyfriend that you picked it?". "No... i told him that you thought the color i picked was boring and told me this color would be better." "You picked this color in every book and talked about how beautiful and shiny it was" .... and on it went. She supposedly called the company for advice, and the only option was to darken it. When i returned, she initiated another blame argument, in which she again stated that it looked exactly like the swatch that "i picked", so she hadn't done anything wrong. Fine. I get it. You want to be proud that you strongly advise your clients, but blame-free when they aren't happy. A simple "I'm sorry, i was sure you would love it, but let's get it fixed" would go a LOT farther with ANY client than the torturous back and forth she put me through. I asked about the color change "so it'll look more natural?" And she laughed, stating that there was no direction to go in that would put my current color on the natural spectrum. Not encouraging when i had asked for natural during consult! She said her instructions were to apply the new color and monitor it for when to wash it out. She had me look in a mirror shortly after application, and i said that it already looked much closer to what i wanted... and then she walked away to her desk. I wasn't near my phone, wasn't offered a magazine, and sat there contemplating life and my itchy scalp for 30 minutes. She walked back, rinsed, and then dried my now deep purple hair. So much for monitoring. It is a blissful improvement from the clown-red, but the brown correction was left in way too long. My boyfriend agrees it is better than the red, but still liked the 2-tone sloppy and dull red that I asked to have corrected better. My contractor laughed at me... I also discussed how i need to leave town to get my hair cut properly because no one in town is trained in the DevaCurl method. She says she was. I was enthused and asked why she didn't come up online - but slowly realized she didn't seem to know what Deva Curl was. I followed up by asking if she dried hair curly and then cut the individual curls, and she said no, that's not the only way to get a good curly cut. Well, her cut was better than the one i went in with, but it is by no means a good cut for curly hair. It was the very standard long layers cut at an angle (aka triangle head for all you curl girls). I'll be wearing it straight (and purple) until i can get to a proper city with a DevaCurl salon. read more

Patricia is a wonderful Italian lady with a great personality. She's a very gifted and talented hairstylist with 30 years experience. She treats her clients as friends and goes out of her way to make them feel comfortable. Always makes me feel welcome. A great hairstylist is hard to come by for an incredibly reasonable price. I have been going to Express Yourself for five years now, since she opened and refuse to allow anyone else to touch my hair. This is not a walk in, franchise, one size fits all, fresh out of cosmetology school, high turnover rate, minimally experienced stylist, salon. Patricia has made a name for her self and specializes in making you beautiful. Highly recommended! read more

Patrizia is a talented lady. If you want an honest assessment of your hair (especially if it is problematic), she will recommend the best style, color, and products to fit your needs. read more

This is a great salon with a superior stylist! I was treated like a friend and live the cut and style of my new hairstyle. I will definitely return. read more

I really enjoyed having my hair styled by Patrizia today. When you first walk in you get a lovely, warm welcome. She actually took time to listen to what I wanted and the problems I have with my combination curly/straight hair. I've lost count of the stylists I've seen over the years who appear to listen but still I've ended up with what their vision is. I love my new cut but most of all I really like the atmosphere here, very laid back and down to earth. I came away feeling very satisfied with the whole experience. read more

Patrizia did a fantastic job on my hair. Moving from a dry climate I has no idea what products I needed to combat frizz with this Texas humidity. She listened and provided her feedback on how to manage my curls without using chemicals. She said it was all about the right products but I'm going to add, it's also about finding the right stylist. If you want someone to listen to you, give an honest opinion and not try to sell you unneeded products or services, she's your gal. I highly recommend her! read more

About two years ago, I started getting my hair cut at Express Yourself on Rock Prairie Road in College Station. I selected that salon because it was open, near my house, and I had a 'hair cut emergency.' Thank goodness I stumbled onto this shop. Patricia has been my stylist since. She gives great haircut and style, while dispensing great 'old world' advice.' (Today she told me how to put some curl in my hair without a perm or curling iron - you will have to visit with her to ask.) Most important to relay is that since going to her hair salon, people have told me how great my hair looks. I am your average, 50-ish woman who doesn't dye her hair or wear much make-up - so it blew my mind to get these compliments. The hair-cut / blow-dry is moderately priced at $45. Go now to get your hair cut at Express Yourself. read more
