If you have coarser textured hair--BEWARE. THE ASSISTANT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO BLOW DRY OR DETANGLE COARSER HAIR! Biggest issue is the lack of knowledge on how to detangle and blow dry coarser natural hair (4a/4b). I'm sure the stylists knows how to do this, but her assistant who is in charge of this doesn't have a clue. This place is cute and the assistant washing my hair did a great thorough job washing and conditioning my hair and she was very nice And hospitable. However, there are major CONS! The main owner and stylists doesn't wash, condition or blow dry your hair--her assistant does. I enjoyed the wash and conditioning portion but her assistant continuously had tons of water running down my back and didn't have enough towels or big enough towels to prevent major water leakage. This also happened during the steam treatment. Not that big of a deal but still, annoying. I went for a blow dry and trim. The assistant is the one that blow dried my hair. She didn't know how to detangle my hair at all! She sectioned my hair in 4 big sections and just casually tried to brush it and then put a blow dryer on it. I actually had to do it myself to get it semi detangled! Normally when I go to salons they blow dry your hair straight and then trim. This woman didn't know how to do this at all. I don't think she had the proper training or was licensed. She seemed clueless.... even telling the stylist that I detangle my hair differently( I detangle in smaller sections like most 4a/4b women). If u have looser textured hair or fine hair, she's probably good at combing through. But if your hair is coarse at all I'd stay away. Then the stylist kind of blow dried My hair again before trimming because it's still so tangled and not smooth at all. Then tells me it won't be a precise trim because I'm not getting it flat ironed and it's not straight enough . So I don't think I'll be back. I know the owner/stylist had to have noticed the poor blow dry. It was horrible! The trim was decent but I know would have been much better had I had a proper, smooth blow dry. IN RESPONSE TO OWNER: I was hoping you would take my review as a teachable moment...improving your services, especially for coarser textured hair, but I see that you have too much pride to acknowledge when you can do things better. Maybe you were lost or confused by my statement about your assistant, I said she had no clue in regards to detangling and blow drying my natural hair. As you stated she was very sweet and I even said hospitable, even complimented her washing/conditioning capabilities. Your assistant was sweet, just teach her how to detangle/ blow dry coarser natural hair. Simple! The issue was she didn't know how to properly detangle and blow dry my hair. I had to show her how to properly detangle my hair from the end to the root and I started splitting my hair into smaller sections to detangle. She literally blow dried one large quarter section of my hair and it was NOT even detangled at all! I stopped her after that first large section and started detangling it myself in smaller sections for her to blow dry. I see on YELP that there are multiple reviews with the EXACT SAME concern and issue! So take this review and others as a teachable moment for you and your staff. If you sincerely believe that my blow dry was adequate, then I guess that's just your type of standard as a stylist and there isn't much to say. Instead of being so DEFENSIVE just do better! In addition it took a bit over 4 hours... smh. read more

Her salon is cute and the vibe was always nice but Margaret has a habit of overbooking clients. At times I have spent 3 -4 hours for a silk press. The amount of time spent getting my hair done was extremely ridiculous. Additionally, if you are natural please be cautious of booking with Margaret. Before going to Margaret, my hair was thick and pass apl. After one year of her doing my hair, my hair became extremely damaged. Margaret is not very knowledgeable of natural hair. Now that Margaret's hands are no longer in my hair, my hair has flourished and gained more length and thickness. Naturals beware!! read more

Margaret has been my stylist since 2009. She is always professional and honest about hair care routines, treatments and styles. I have had natural hair for 4 years now and I mostly wear sewin weaves and she had kept my natural hair healthy and undamaged. My hair is always FABulous!!' read more

Margaret is a veteran hairstylist, colorist and salon owner. She in my opinion is one the few stylists left that care about creativity, style and the health of your hair. You can go to Fab The Salon and know that you'll be taken great care of. read more

I went two weeks and got a blow out and the experience was amazing, but most importantly with all this humidity my blow out has lasted longer than I could imagine. It is still bone straight and moisturized. Margaret and her assistant did an awesome job. Definitely going back read more

Pros: Cute little shop in an easily accessible location, with no wait. I was in and out within 30 minutes so not only was the wash/trim convenient but the cut turned out FABulous. Margaret is both incredibly personable and knowledgeable. She accepts walk-ins as well as appointments. Cons: My wash and trim cost $60 Due to the cost, another appointment is unrealistic for me but I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of hair cut or style. read more

Mag has been doing my hair for some time now and my experiences have always been great. As a matter of fact, I semi big chopped because my hair was very long but permed and it's because of the care and patience of Mag that my hair has not only grown back to the length it was when I semi big chopped but it's even longer. Today, I took my daughter in with me to have her very first blow out and her experience was amazing. Mag cut off about 2-3 inches of dead ends and my daughter and I are in love with the outcome. Not sure where these negative reviews steam from but I can say I've been a client for over a year and have never experienced anything other than professionalism from Mag and her assistant. I love going to the shop. It's always enjoyable for me. Today my daughter and I had a 7 am appointment and a 9 am appointment and were both out by 10 30 am. read more

This salon is most definitely FABULOUS!!! Ms. Margaret has the finesse, skills and professionalism to expand in international markets. I love it that she uses quality products to help GROW YOUR HAIR and she gave me good advice on at home care. My cut and color received so many compliments! I received a steam for extra deep conditioning and a scalp massage by her assistant Satta! NO WAIT TIME! I was in and out. Keep up the good work! read more

Margaret is very consistent and has a great attitude and a passion for what she does.

Margaret is a great stylist and person. She's always on time and gives me exactly what I want. I never stay at her shop longer than 2 hours and she's cheerful and professional at all times. I have been natural for over 10 years and in the 2 years I've been going to Margaret, she's helped me achieve beauty healthy curls. You won't find another beautician as trust worthy as Margaret. read more

I have natural hair and have been coming to Margaret for about 4 months now. I get my hair colored blonde, a steam treatment and my hair curled in a cute style. Margaret makes sure her client's hair is hydrated, healthy and like the name of her salon FAB, that it looks FABULOUS! Prior to her I had given up on all beautician's but I am so glad that I found Margaret! read more

I've been going to Margaret for 7 years now. I initially went to her for a short "Rhianna" cut and she did such a good job, that I've been going back ever sense. She a beast with cuts and color. Everywhere I go, people stop me to ask where I get my hair done. She has me looking like a million bucks. I love that she offers wine and snacks while you wait under the dryer. I love her assistant because her washes are so relaxing. I plan on being a life long client. read more

This was prob the WORST salon experience I've ever had. Let me start off by saying I really had high hopes for this salon after seeing a friend's results and viewing the website. I am very cautious about where I spend my hard earned money and I was incredibly disappointed. I arrived about 15 minutes early for my appt I was hoping Margaret would be able to start on me early, however I was perfectly fine with waiting until my appt time if necessary. To my surprise, Margaret wasn't even there. Her assistant(I think) greeted me and told Margaret would be arriving shortly but she was going to go ahead and start my wash. This rubbed me the wrong way off top bc I was hoping to at least have a brief consult with Margaret bc this was my first time using this salon and I had questions and was also interested in additional services. The wash was mediocre,I like to be informed on the products as they are being put in my hair(esp on the first visit) that didn't happen here. After the wash my back was soaked and I was placed under the steamer with a completely drenched towel on my neck. Margaret still hadn't arrived by this time. The young lady(possibly an assistant) began to blow dry my hair. I am not sure if this is usual practice, but again I was highly disappointed bc I don't think this person was licensed to do hair(I only saw one license posted on the wall). The young lady made no effort to detangle prior to starting the blow dry. She immediately started brushing my wet hair with a rush and didn't even bother with starting with a wide tooth comb. This was my worst blow dry experience. She burned my scalp THREE TIMES with the blow dryer. At this point I'm really starting to feel very annoyed. I overheard the conversations of the young lady speaking to Margaret and it seemed like she was being instructed to continue and the young lady even seemed uncertain about what she was doing. After the young lady finished blow drying my hair she told me Margaret would be arriving in 10 minutes to continue my hair. She did not arrive in 10 minutes. Once she did arrive she apologized but didn't really seem very genuine or as if she was truly apologetic for arriving over an hour after my scheduled appt. it seemed she may have been more concerned abt the delayed errand she was running. At this point I am incredibly disappointed with the service. As she begins to blow dry my hair again she asks very casually "so how do you want your hair styled" again this is totally not what I'm used to from a stylist esp not on your first visit. She goes on to tell me that my hair is damaged in some spots(which I already knew and wanted to discuss had there been some sort of consult in the beginning). She tells me I need a trim and that it would cost extra. ANOTHER Disappointment: I booked a blow out and trim online to begin with and she didn't even know! I was the only client at that time, idk how that was confusing! I took the time follow her procedures for booking and she didn't even have the decency to review what I was even there for. As she was flat ironing my hair she also grazed my face with the iron bc she was moving way too fast. I asked if she uses a heat protectant and I think she took it the wrong way. Her response wasn't one of a stylist that wants to educate and inform a client but seemed more on the defensive side. She also told me that there aren't really heat protectants that exist?!? Whet? she wanted to trim two inches or more, I was fine with that, but i ask questions because I want to be informed not to question her expertise and I didn't feel comfortable asking questions. I wasn't satisfied with the way she curled my hair the first time especially since I said I wanted a slight curl and she styled my hair like a curled helmet. The middle part of my crown was broken so she said I didn't have any options when it came to styling. I asked if it were possible for her to flat iron that part down and it seemed like I offended her. At this point there was another client that arrived so she left me to tend to them and when she came back I could tell she wasn't interested in satisfying me as a customer but was ready for my appointment to be over. I was over it too! I still had questions and she continued to tell me that my hair was damaged due to sew ins and the only remedy would be to cut my hair into a pixie. I was so perplexed that that was her only suggestion of a remedy. My hair is shoulder length with damaged areas in the middle that I have had since I was kid and I have had all my life which i tried to explain but she insisted that it was due to sew ins and braids that I hadn't had in 6 months. This was the first time I didn't tip my stylist and not that I expected a discount but it would have been a nice offer considering she was late AF. pro: they offer a complimentary drink(wine, water, or soda) I asked for wine and they didn't even have any.:-/ read more

Sent her a message about having my hair colored via text and instagram and never heard back from her. I mean at least have better communication. read more

I typically never write reviews, but after leaving without disclosing my disappointment, I felt that I should mention it. I made an appointment with the owner (who never formally introduced herself or greeted me) after searching on Instagram for some time. I even followed her because I admired her work so much. When I got to the salon, I was a little turned around because there were no signs, but I saw a credit card sticker in the door and figured it was a business. I pulled at the door and it was locked. After standing to the side and scrolling through my emails for a few minutes to make sure I was at the right place, someone came to the door and told me to have a seat. I was about 30 minutes early for my 6:30 appointment, so I didn't mind waiting. I wanted to come in early because I knew I would only be getting a shampoo and blowdry and didn't want to be the last appointment and have her waiting for that. While I was waiting her assistant began small talk, but the owner rudely kept calling and demanding her to do different things such as blow-dry different people, move people around and so on. The assistant even looked annoyed. I mentioned to the assistant that though I booked the $40 wash, treatment & trim, that I was only getting a shampoo due to wanting to ensure my hair was clean for braids that I would be getting the following day. She attempted to place me under the hydrating machine because she said," they needed to catch up and were running behind", and I declined and told her I had no issue waiting. I mentioned that I had dandruff build up and my main reason for coming was to ensure someone could get it cleaner than me. The assistant was very sweet, but she didn't have nails, nor did she attempt to scrub the scalp. She just rubbed her hands around. After my wash, she asked me to sit to the side while she blew-out someone else. Without combing my hair out. So my hair began to dry while still being tangled. She eventually got to me and de-tangled, then blew out my hair piece by piece, which is typically more time consuming and painful because the hair is DRY! She also was told to stop doing that to wash someone's conditioner out. So while I was waiting for her to return the owner was flat ironing someone's hair. The lady had bad ends from what appeared to be bleach, but the owner berated her and said, "Oh girl your hair is messed up. These ends are terrible". They went back and forth about cutting the hair, but the woman wasn't comfortable with cutting her hair into the bob, only a trim. The owner then said, "Ok. Don't go writing no review when it doesnt look silky and smooth then. It's not going to look good". I just thought that was rude. Some people arent ready to cut their hair and we come to stylist to make us feel beautiful, not bad. She ended up cutting ALOT, which did make her hair look much better, but it was more of a cut than a trim. There's a difference between being honest and just nasty. Anyways, her assistant (sister), came back and as she was finishing up she stated, "there's some dandruff right here. Just letting you know before you go home and see it." Without trying to at least pretend like she was getting it out. It just wasn't a pleasant experience, and I'm not sure if It was because I wasn't getting a silk press, or what. I then had to pay $40 for a horrible shampoo and blow-dry. Nothing else. I definitely had intentions of coming back to get a silk press, but not anymore. I've even cancelled my second appointment I made for the end of this month. Everyone has their days, but first impressions are everything. I hope this helps going forward. read more

I have been a client of Margaret since I relocated here 9 years ago and continue to be more than satisfied with her skills, personality, and care. She loves what she does and my hair loves her! read more

Will never return. I went here for a silk press at 5:45. I arrived 10 minutes early and there were three people in front of me, one was a sew-in! She didn't start my shampoo until 7:15 and I didn't leave until almost 9:30! That's almost four hours for a service that shouldn't be more than 1! She apologized so I tried again. THE SAME THING HAPPENED! I arrived 30 minutes early; there was someone under the dryer, another at the shampoo bowl and someone in the chair. After an hour she had finally attempted to wash me. After another hour I had enough, I was just sitting around and decided to leave. When I left she told me that I still had to pay for my shampoo. In that time period two other ladies arrived after me, both had appointments 15 minutes apart after me. Once I walked out one joined me saying that she couldn't believe she actually made me pay for the shampoo after I had to wait two hours. I will never return. She does good hair, but she's books client after client in 15 minute intervals and I cannot wait four hours every three weeks! read more

I think you have to have a wig or hair extensions for her to do your hair? Unprofessional and mood swings. I think because she's hungry or something could be off/ wrong with her? A colleague referred me to her. And she doesn't go to her anymore. I found out later. Needed something in the area for a meeting. LADYS IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY DO NOT SPEND IT HERE!!!!! I have to wear a wig now...at work!!! I've never had to it's every uncomfortable and embarrassing. I could've went to the hood to have my hair laid down. Cuts to much hair I think she messed up and tried to correct it? After I washed my hair I noticed how bad of a cut I paid for, just hidden in curls. My hair texture seems a little different afterwards also. My hair is MY crown and I feel like everyone is looking at it. Something about the hands made me want to puke. The smell was awful not going to say what they smell like. Usually hairstylist that Capture my attention look and act professional at all times. read more

First, I want to say that Satta's customer service was excellent! Second, Margaret was AMAZING!! I am from Detroit and have been looking for a beautician in Houston for years. I finally found one last year and she moved to Alabama. A friend of mine gave me Margaret's info. and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! I have 4C hair so you have to know what you are doing with my curl pattern. Margaret colored, cut and silk pressed my hair. It was FABULOUS! It is going on two weeks and it is STILL FABULOUS! So many people thought I got a perm because is was silky straight with so much body! If you are looking for a lifetime beautician I implore you to do yourself a favor and make an appointment today!! The shop was nice, clean and inviting. Margaret had such a sweet spirit, it felt like I've know her for years. I can finally say after being in Houston for 20+ years the Lord really answered my prayer! THANK YOU FAB THE SALON!
