Kim did a great job on my hair! She dyed my hair the time before and the color lasted very well

Ask for Kim!
Khanh D.

Kim is the best! She's so angelic and genuinely cares for your hair. She will let you know the brutal truth about dying your hair with extreme colors like red, blonde, etc! I went blonde before and now I went red and both times were by Kim

New look
Loretta T.

Kim was amazing. She gave me the confidence to try something different. So happy I did it. She also cut and styled my hair. Will definitely go back..

I forgot to check in, so here is my review. :) First of all, I want to point out that I didn't have to wait another 15 minutes for my appointment, which is 5 stars in itself! Lol I was able to sit down right away and have Nikki start working her magic on my hair. Her customer service is A++. She put on a movie I wanted to watch from Netflix and provided a water while I waited for my beautiful hair. I'll admit I was taken aback at first when I saw my hair (since I hadn't done anything this drastic), but I am totally digging it now. Thank you, Nikki! It's absolutely gorgeous, and you are a sweetheart! I'm def coming back for more services.

End fixed result
Kim N.

This was my 1st time at this salon. I moved on this side of town this past summer. I found this place off of yelp and decided to give it a try. I contacted Nikki via text and we agreed on the service and price via text message with pictures. This salon is in a small old looking shopping strip. The parking here is pretty terrible and the spots are very small. If you have an SUV like me be sure to check your car for door dings before leaving. I did appreciate her opening at 8 am on a Saturday to squeeze me in. She got there after I did so I waited about 5-10 mins for her to open the door. I am a licensed stylist. I've had my license for over 15 years. My most recent employment in the hair industry was 12 years at Sportclips. Strictly haircuts for men. However, I do have knowledge and experience in women's hair color and style. My speed on technique maybe slow or dated but I am still a licensed cosmetologist. I did show Nikki pictures off my phone of ideas of how I wanted my hair via text prior to my visit to the salon but when I got there I saw 2 pictures of her work on the wall that I liked and pointed the one I wanted. She said okay. In the picture it had balayage writing for the description. Balayage is the technique of free-hand painting highlights onto the hair, creating a soft and natural gradation of lightness towards the ends. She told me she needed to lighten up the color or my hair which was totally understandable. She applied bleach from scalp to ends all over my hair. She is a professional so I let her do the job I was paying her to do. I was a little confused as to why she was doing that but I wanted her to do her job and not micromanage. I am not experienced in balayage or the ombre techniques of hair coloring. I knew not to wash my hair 2 days before getting a chemical service since it would be harsh on my scalp. The natural oils provide protection for the scalp during a chemical service.Thank goodness for me doing that. My scalp is sore from the chemical burns. I will allow my natural sebum to coat my scalp again for the next few days. Fast fwd a little she bleached my hair completely out and put a toner on and basically asked if I liked it. I said this is not what I wanted or in the picture over there on your wall. I said there isn't any dimensions. I wanted "blonde balayage". Not to be completely blonde all over. She said ok I will add darkness into the roots.. WHAT!?!? I was pretty upset but kept quiet...Ok......I still needed to get a cut and style.. Especially since my hair was a little over processed at this point. She started at 8:30 am and it was 1:50 pm. I know the exact time since I was having to text my husband to let him know I was going to be there longer. I was a little irritated she was occupied taking 3-4 clients including a perm while serving me so her focus wasn't on my chemical service. I understand I had to process the bleach but she basically unnecessarily bleached my hair on my scalp for no reason since it was already dark to begin with.. I was pretty upset about things but I completely stayed calm and quiet simply because the end result was what I wanted. I was NOT happy with the unnecessary bleaching of my scalp and the extra long time spent there. I needed my hair fixed and corrected. I was not going to chew her out while my hair needed to be fixed correctly. She was very sweet and did correct her mistake she made on my hair. I did not want to judge a book by it's cover so I gave this place a shot thinking I was going to save $80 on my hair but didn't. Breakdown of things in brief. The salon wasn't very clean or sanitizer. This is a typical Vietnamese owned salon. (I am not racist I am Vietnamese myself.) The amount discussed was NOT what I paid. I paid $80 more then what she quoted via text. I did not complain at all and just paid. I said thank you and left. For the amount I paid I could have gone to a much nicer place with maybe a free cookie/chips or a cup of coffee/ bottled water. I really wish my experience was overall better but I am glad my hair was still intact and I did like the end result. Best of luck to the salon. I am posting pictures in this review of everything below.

Platinum blonde with shadow roots
Julie T.

Love Nikki!!! I wanted platinum blonde but not the entire hair so she gave me shadow roots to have it blend in. Not all salons can do what I ask for and she made it happened. She's my go-to hair stylist. I love that she's near home. Will definitely come back!

Susan N.

Nikki is super sweet and super amazing! I was so happy with my hair and the great service I received from Nikki and her little team. She took the time to make sure my hair turned out amazing and it sure did! I will definitely be back soon!

Mari O.

Loved the way my hair turned out . Nikki and her team are very friendly, I will definitely come back for a retouch.

Emily J.

Nikki is awesome !it was my first time oing balayage and I absolutely love the color and she was so sweet. I will def be back.

Platinum hair!
Tiffany P.

I moved here from Oklahoma and literally was terrified to let anyone touch my hair as I have had the same hairstylist for 5 years! I resorted to just doing it myself which did not turn out well... 6 months later I'm reading through reviews and looking at pictures and decide on hair by Nikki and thank the lord I did!! Not only is she a master at coloring she devotes time and attention to every customer weather she's doing your hair or not, she multitask better than most ppl I know and I'm a mother of 5 so big compliment coming from me lol! I wasn't waiting or feeling forgotten she was so attentive and she fix all my mess and was able to lighten my hair to a level I've never had before!AND IT DIDNT BURN!!!!

Charlie A.

I'm a Makeup Artist and it's just so important for me to look presentable. I have been visiting Nikki couple of times to have my hair taken care off. My hair was dark color and I decided to have a Blonde hair The bleaching and coloring process took more than 8 hours...and I can tell that I am super Happy with the result. I had the picture taken professionally so you can see how blonde my hair is. Also, Nikki used special hair treatment so my hair doesnt get damaged after this session. I definitely will come back

LOVING my new summer color!!!
Christine N.

Awesome experience! I have been going to Nikki for almost a year now and every time I see her...she makes me BEAUTIFUL! Nikki and her staffs are friendly and talkative.

She had made me the blonde I have ALWAYS wanted to be!! She is SO talented! MAGIC! she takes her time and really listens! Quality products. I will definitely be going back in a couple months! Customer for life!

My hair is both fine and thin, and I have a weirdly shaped head, and he gave me such a wonderful cut that is exactly what I wanted. The bleaching process could have been shorter with stronger bleach, but Jay didn't want to damage my fine hair, so he took his time with a softer bleach that takes longer, which I appreciated. He could've closed up shop much earlier, but he stuck it out with me from 2:30-8 pm! He was so patient and such an artist. 5.5 hours, 3 shades of blue, 1 purple, and 1 magenta later, this gorgeous multi-dimensional blue is what I got. He literally is the best stylist I've found. I've had my hair colored by an array of people, including my long time favorite go to stylist in Manhattan that I've been going to for 15 years, and Jay's skills put them to shame. Thank you Jay!!

Since then I've been seeing Lew for haircuts and coloring on a regular basis and my hair has never looked better. Seeing Lew is always a great experience in a private salon space with great conversation and music. But ultimately, his precision cutting, his attention to detail, and his color artistry are what keep me coming back. To top it off, his prices are reasonable compared to other stylists with his level of skill and experience. My whole family trusts him with their haircuts and all come out looking great so I recommend him highly for men and women.

The location I went to was in the heights and it was a very cute salon with parking in the front. Bunmi was so quick yet very thorough with the brazilian blowout. I bombarded her with so many hair care questions, which she answered so very passionately too. She explained all the processes and steps of what she was doing. Marlin always check to see if the temperature of the water was alright for us when we were shampooing too. They were both so very sweet. I'm so glad I found them on yelp! We both love our smooth, silky hair. Bunmi also follows up and sends you tips on how to care for your brazilian blowout when you get home, so that you get the most bang out of your buck.

She knew me so well and of course always had my hair on point. Moving to Texas, I was so nervous about one of my investments that I never had to worry about before. I had to really take the time and research who seemed like a good fit for me and the look I tend to stay with. I was able to find Hintz of Color. I booked my appointment, and I am not going to lie, I was nervous as heck! I like her booking system, so easy to use. Deposit was put for my appointment. For those of you who complain about that, let me just say...appointments are their lively hood, their business, the feeding of their families. If you no show or cancel last minute, the stylist could of had someone else in that spot, potentially losing 100's of $$ at no fault of theirs. So, be courteous and respect this. As a patron, it's important to also think of businesses as if they were your own. Now, enough about that little rant of mine lol So Bunmi's salon is actually far from me. I drive 40 minutes, but remember, investment! :) The salon is upstairs in a shopping center on Bellaire Ave. It is located in the "Phenix Salon Suites." She has her own room and the vibe is there! Ok, so what the room is nice...? We'll, she got the personality and skills to back it up! She was amazing at my first appointment. Made me feel so at ease. She listened as I explained what I wanted and tend to do. She was honest, respectful, and most importantly down to earth! My hair turnout, AMAZING! She achieves the look while keeping my hair healthy! I was so thankful and blessed to meet Bunmi. She is my sister here in the HTX! I highly recommend her and can't say enough positive things about her and her work! I look forward to my hair sessions each time. I'll keep posting pics of all my hair shenanagins she is always down for! The pics speak for themselves. :)
