Found them when I was looking up Aveda salons. I am pretty basic with my hair needs and skills and Jessica did a great job with answering my questions about what I could do to help my hair since we moved to the area (the hard water is a killer!) She made great recommendations and I left with my hair and scalp feeling absolutely amazing. read more

Being a military spouse and moving every 3 years one of my struggles is finding a good hair stylist and establishing a relationship with them. We have been in the area for a few months and I was really nervous to try a new salon, I decided to try highlights Salon. I booked an appointment with Sara and she did not disappoint. She is the sweetest person, she was patient with me, listened to what I wanted and she did EXACTLY that. She took her time and she was really thorough . It's been a few days since my appointment and I am still beyond pleased with my hair. I am so glad I found this salon, I already booked my 12 week trim appointment with her. This salon is amazing! read more

This salon is definitely a hidden treasure in Killeen! I found Highlights Salon & Spa unexpectedly while looking for hair places around the area. I checked their website and immediately found an availability for a haircut appointment and booked it with Roxanne. Roxanne has 10 years of experience with doing bob cuts (as said in her profile on the website), and this was a perfect match for me since the haircut I wanted was a soft-blunt bob cut. Roxanne is amazing and so sweet. She made me feel at ease during my appointment as this was the first time I was cutting my hair short in a very long time. During the cutting process, she would check in with me and ask if the length of my hair was where I wanted it to be, which I appreciated as not many hairdressers I had in the past did this. She made me feel so comfortable and well-cared for during this visit. I cannot recommend her enough if you're looking for a bob cut or any haircuts in general. She will definitely give you the transformation you've been looking for! For anyone curious, I have dark, straight, and thick hair. Roxanne did such a great job that the shorter pieces in the back of my hair doesn't flare out, when it typically does when I cut my hair short. She definitely knows what she's doing! I will definitely be going back to this salon and share it to all my friends in the area. read more

Highlights Salon & Spa - Shoulder length bob cut with a little bit of texture by Roxanne! - Hair Salons Near Me - Killeen, Texas

First time coming here and I absolutely love my haircut. Thank you to Sandie for giving me exactly what I wanted. Will be coming back here.

Samantha does an amazing job each time! I have been going to her for years and she doesn't disappoint.

While I got a little too much highlight work than I wanted vs balayage, they were really friendly, affordable, did an outstanding cut, finished it off with a great blow out and didn't push curls like I like. The stylist took her time and really cared about what she was doing. read more

Received the best hair cut of my life from Jessi. From the wash to the styling, I had a great experience with her.

I went in for a balayage, when I left I was happy with the service until I got home and realized the stylist gave me ordinarily highlights instead of what I asked for. I gave her a $20 for tip, her price was high but it's expected with good service. She charged me $179 for some basic old school highlights. Although I got old school highlights instead of new school balayage the stylist was sweet and very attentive. read more

Called for a haircut appointment and the woman on the phone was very friendly and accommodating so I was very hopeful it would be a great place. I get there and tell the stylist that I want to go short with long layers, my hair was to the middle of my back and I cut about 5 inches or so. I know my hair so I need the layers or it'll be too thick, she said she understood. When I got home I realized it was not even, at all. The left side was quite a bit longer, the layers were really short, when not styled it's so frizzy! I called my regular salon in Georgetown and they fixed it, the only reason I didn't initially go there was because they were booked. Won't be making that mistake again. read more

This place you call a hair salon is the worst place.Independent contractor my ass. You need to learn some manners on how you treat people And not giving the customer what they wanted or even listened and then not to give their refund for the disgusting work you did. read more

After multiple consultations my wife goes here and pays a very high price to get a balayage done in her hair while keeping her natural roots. After a long 4 hours of getting this done and showing the stylist multiple times reference photos the end result was nothing close to the requested style. I call the salon and ask if anything could be done to fix the mistake made but the stylist only gives me two options. Either wait a crazy amount of time to get a full refund and put back her natural color or only get less than half of my money back and she will do nothing to fix it. Obviously I don't want to force my wife to walk around with the hair she hates so we take the half deal. But this is beyond absurd. If you are performing a service please do it correct or atleast give the customer their money back. Even on the phone the stylist gave me plenty of attitude and was very rude saying things like "I don't work for free" If you plan on coming here,don't. It's as simple as that,the contractors here will screw you over and won't accept that they didn't do what they were payed very well to do. Melinda was the stylist who is very incompetent and rude. read more

Julie Cole is not only the owner, my hair dresser, but is also a friend! She is fabulous and has done my hair for over 15 years! (The other stylists are also very good.) The salon is clean, relaxing and affordable. I pretty much give her free reign on my partial highlights ranging from blond to caramel, depending on the season. :) Shasta, their masseuse, is also very talented. I only get the Swedish massage every once in a while, but it is so relaxing! read more

Sadly I can't recommend this salon. I hadn't gotten my hair done in over a year. My birthday is coming up and my friend will be visiting so I was excited to finally have it done. I was literally so excited for this appointment that I could hardly sleep the night before and now I'm just incredibly disappointed and sad. The photo on the left is what I asked for and right is how I left. While discussing beforehand, I said my main "want" was to get the dark base color. The appointment lasted 5 1/2 hours which is way longer than any hair appointment I've ever had. My husband took off work to watch our kids and instead of missing a few hours, he missed all day. Total was over $400 with tip (20%.) The price wouldn't bother me if I received what I wanted. I'm not sure how customer would service would be if I had expressed my concerns. I have anxiety about looking in the mirror at myself with others around so I usually glance, say I like it, then wait until I get home to actually look at it. 2 stars instead of 1 because my stylist was very nice and friendly. read more

Highlights Salon & Spa - Hair Salons Near Me - Killeen, Texas

Let me start off by saying I have been going to Highlights for over a year and a half now. Why? Because the have always done great color and treated me well. I typically do not like to give bad reviews and usually choose to only review places I really like (I like to keep the good karma flowing). However, I just cannot let my past experience go without commenting. I went in this past week and got my usual partial highlight and cut. Everything seemed fine although I was charged $5 more than usual - I felt weird questioning it so just went ahead and paid. Now comes the bad part... While the color of my hair is good, the placement of my highlights is not. My partial highlight doesn't even extend to my crown. When my hair is parted, the crown looks AWFUL. What I don't understand is how I am a regular who has been getting the same color done for a while now, yet this time my hair took over 3 hours to complete and the highlights are literally only on the top of my head? It is my understanding a partial highlight should extend from the top of the ear around to the other ear. It appears I will be finding a new hairstylist very soon. I will miss how nice she was, however. read more

Can call and get last minute appts. I love this place. Katie is my favorite hair stylist. I got my hair cut and after a day I realized it was to long for work. She let me come back to cut it shorter free of charge. She was very good at her job and wanted me to be happy. This is the only salon I go to. read more

Highlights Salon & Spa - Side view of the entrance - Hair Salons Near Me - Killeen, Texas

Worst experience ever! Went in with a photo, for reference, of the color I wanted and the result I got was nothing like the photo. I know you can not expect to get results that match a photo perfectly but the results I got don't even have a slight resemblance. I didn't want the brassy, rust color hair and that's exactly what I walked out with. Very disappointed!! read more

I've had a tough time finding a hairdresser that understood what I wanted in the six months that I've lived here. And no hairdresser wants to hear that! I was getting a bit frustrated, but thankfully Melinda looked at the picture I had brought, asked some questions and I've finally got the look I so wanted. Thank you Melinda! You have a customer for as long as we're here. read more

Four weeks ago, I had eyebrow micro blading done by Shin. I am so pleased !! She was very professional, explained everything, I felt no pressure, and she answered all my questions, and concerns. My friends and family are happily surprised on how natural my eyebrows look. I highly recommend Shin !!! read more

It is so hard finding a new hair dresser that you feel comfortable with, I am glad I checked Yelp and went to Highlights Salon today. Samantha did a wonderful job matching my hair color, I love how she styled my hair, several compliments today after I left the salon. Everyone in the salon, the employees & clients very friendly & helpful to someone that just moved from out of state. I highly recommend going to see them. I have my next appointment scheduled already, I know I will be wanting to visit the spa section of the salon as well. read more

Shin is the best at waxing! So generous and sweet! She's always so busy busy I have to get her within a 2 week span. Other than that you can't get any better for waxing She's the best try her! She also does nails and soon hair. Very pleased. read more

If you're looking for the right place to get a Brazilian, this is it! I moved from California to Killeen & I had been searching for a while. I made an appointment and was scheduled to get my waxing done by Shin. She's the best! She'll make you feel really comfortable and make the whole process a bearable one! Trust me ladies you know what I'm talking about. She's a professional at what she does and definitely knows what she's doing. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

I had the best experience for myself and my daughter. It's hard finding a place that is able to provide exactly what you ask for at an amazing price. Melinda J. was our stylist and my daughter's hair looks amazing. I love how she also took the time to show her how to embrace her natural curls and use products to help get the look she was looking for. Melinda also got my color exactly how I wanted it and I receive complaints all the time on my color and cut! I definitely won't go anywhere else! read more

THANK GOD i found this place when the hubby was coming home earlier than expected. I was a first time customer but Roxanne fit me in her schedule the next day. I basically told her the basics of how I wanted my hair done.. she added what she thought would look good and I was definitely amazed of how my hair turned out. I came back a couple days later and got my eyebrows waxed.. walked in and got Shin who saved my eyebrows since I tried to do it myself. 45.00 for hair and 12.00 for brows. I am definitely going back. read more

This was not my normal salon, but I received a gift certificate for a spa package here as a gift. Due to circumstances, I could not do a spa day, but the salon let me use my certificate for cut, color, and a pedicure. Very accomodating! Mary-Christina Sifuentes was my stylist. Don't let her young face fool you, this girl knows how to do hair! The cut was perfect and my full head of highlights looks amazing. I walked out looking like a different person, which was exactly what I wanted. I am leaving Killeen soon, but if I wasn't, Mary-Christina would be my new girl, for sure! Such a talented, sweet stylist. :) read more

Julie Cole & her team are top notch. I always trusted Julie with my hair when I was here 14 years ago (even came special for a fix after a disastrous bad hair experience in Europe) so I was thrilled to see her still in the area with a thriving business when I was stationed here again! I highly recommend you check out this salon & spa. read more

I went to this salon solely based on Yelp! reviews. I was please with the hair stylist. She did my hair several times before leaving for personal reasons. I had my hair done by another stylist who also did a great job. I would recommend this salon. read more

My wife just recently moved here and was worried that she wouldn't be able to find a quality hair salon in the area. She did her research and found this place. She got her haircut here and it looks really really good. It wasn't to expensive for a great haircut and it boosted her self confidence and she recommends it to anyone in the area !!! 5 stars hands down read more

Shout out to Melinda who has been doing my hair for several months, she has done an amazing job each time, I could not be happier with her and the outcome of my hair, she is always upfront about how light my hair will get, having very dark hair, that's very hard to do, but she gets it perfect every time! I will continue to support her as long as she is with Highlights Salon! Thank you Melinda, for being amazing! (Remember, it takes more than 1, when you have many more +'s!!) read more

I read the reviews before booking my appts there, i haven't touch my hair since 6 months ago and had a lot of split ends and dry ends, i forgot her name, but she was pretty nice and know whats shes doing. she had gave me suggestions about my next visit to the hair salon, like what to tell the stylist and what i need to do with my hair on a weekly basis. i love the result and will definitely go back and recommend my friends to go. read more

My husband gave me a gift certificate here for my birthday. I made an appointment and they were very accommodating. I received an awesome facial, eye brow waxing, and nail service from Shin. She is the sweetest, and great at what she does! I also got a full body massage (from Carolyn) and it was the most relaxing hour of my life. I will totally go back!!! read more

Today was my second visit to Highlights but this time I got a 60 minute Swedish massage (the first time I got a haircut). And it was another amazing experience! Shasta is very professional, made me feel very comfortable, and she allowed me to customize the pressure. The environment of the massage area is super relaxing, clean, and comfy. My massage was only $65 plus tip which is a lot less expensive than the other massages I've gotten at other spas and it was a wonderful experience well worth my money. I absolutely cannot stop raving about this place!! I will definitely be back again! Also, I called at 11:15 am to book a same day appointment and they were able to take me in at 1:45 pm! read more

I was very pleased with my nearly 3 hour hair visit! Katy did my hair, she was sweet, professional and did an amazing job on my very long hair. The rest of the ladies working there were very nice and a couple were working on returning customers. Very clean and trendy inside. I will go back as long as I'm living in Texas. read more

I did an extensive internet and Yelp search before deciding to come here. I'm talking 2 days worth of comparing salons and I am extremely happy with the results. I left a message to schedule an appointment since I was out and about and they called me back as soon as they opened, which is a huge plus! I met with Arianna. I hadn't cut my hair in almost 3 years because of multiple bad experiences and extremely botched jobs so I was a little nervous. But before she even put the apron thing on me, she asked me what I wanted and made suggestions of her own. Another plus! She was very friendly, but not overly talkative. Another plus! And when she was done, she asked me how I would be wearing my hair and gave me tips on how to maintain it no matter how I decided to style it. She even showed me so I wasn't confused. Huge plus. She then showed me the products she liked to use and compared it to products I had tried in the past and put some in my hair so I could feel and see the difference. Plus plus plus! After 3 years, 12 inches of hair is gone! And I could not be happier. I will definitely be back! read more

It took me weeks to find a place that does permanent make up. Walked into this place and got welcomed in with smiles. Mrs. Shin is great at her work and I highly recommend her. What more can you ask for great prices the sweetest staff all in one. read more
