Arrived and there was no one at the front desk. I came to treat myself on my birthday and was…read moreimmediately disappointed. Other girls were asked if they wanted wine/anything to drink. I was not offered anything. I also noticed the other two stylists working on girls ASKED them how they wanted their hair, with curled ends/blow out. My stylist just said "more volume?" And that was it...... After she blow dryed my hair and said we were finished, I asked her if she could curl one side of my hair more as it did not look the same as the other side and she acted like I was asking her for a billion dollar I've been here once before for my makeup and the artist did a great job which is why I came back. But this experience has def left a bad taste in my mouth.

The shop is lively with girl talk and good old school r&b music playing in the back. It gives old school beauty shop vibes which I love. I came in on a Tuesday, which is a discounted silk press day. I added a trim also. Shay had my hair pressed in under an hour and a half. I love how my hair came out and the ladies were an excellent time to be around. They offer you a free drink of choice with your appointment and even gel eye bags when at the bowl. I had about two drinks before leaving and was feeling nice! The shop is decorated so cute with pink bubble chair, a lip shaped couch and overall girlie aesthetic. If you need a place to get a blow out or silk press on the fly choose here.

I booked online but followed up on the phone because I had some questions. The woman I spoke with was friendly and helpful. Ongele was also very friendly and easy to talk to. She has a very chill vibe. I showed her photos of what I thought I would like, but made it clear that I wasn't looking for a big change at my first appointment. She completely agreed with me and said she preferred to get to know me first. This was definitely going in the right direction. We chatted while she cut my hair and then she gave me some pointers on drying and styling it and when she was done....OMG! It was exactly what I wanted - actually no - it was better than what I wanted! I literally couldn't have been happier. AND....I think I'll be able to reproduce the look at home, thanks to her instructions. I would highly recommend Ongele at Shine in the Heights!

The stylist was Mary, and my little sister went in for her haircut, but she arrived a little late…read more She was her last client and it was just a haircut, but she refused to see her. She then proceeded to sit her down and lecture her about being late and was just overall being passive aggressive with her, before I came in. When we left, my little sister started to cry. I get being late and not receiving her, but it was not her place to make her feel bad about it. Overall, terrible experience and do not recommend.

I was extremely disappointed with my blowout experience. I asked for the "old fashioned" style with…read moreloose, big, uniform waves, but what I received were very tight curls that looked nothing like what I requested. I felt like I was going to my high school prom. This blowout was especially important to me because it was for my maternity photoshoot--something I've been planning and looking forward to for a very long time. When I got home, I tried brushing the curls out to loosen them, as I was told they would fall, but they would not loosen at all. I even tried adding water, and that still didn't help. Unfortunately, the curls stayed tight and didn't give the soft, loose look I was hoping for. In the end, I had no choice but to put my hair up for the photos. I was honestly so sad and unhappy about it that I felt like crying. This was a moment I really wanted to feel my best in, and the hairstyle just didn't align with what I had envisioned or asked for. I've been to this location (River Oaks Houston) before and had a wonderful blow out, so it was just this specific person. That being said, the stylist herself was very nice, kind, professional, and I don't have any issues with her personally. She did tell me the curls would fall once I brushed them out at home, but sadly, that never happened. I just wish the style matched what I requested, but it was so far off. If I had the time I would have just washed my hair and curled myself when I got home but I had to go straight to my photo shoot. I even thought about rescheduling the shoot to another weekend but I would have lost the deposit. I am so disappointed given how meaningful this occasion was for me.

I fell asleep a couple times and definitely woke myself up snoring LOL!! Everything about this felt like a five-star, red carpet experience!! From the hot towels on my face and arms to the gentle massage, just all of it. Super relaxing but still very intentional. What I really loved is that they don't just go through the motions. Han actually took time to explain scalp health, how to better care for my hair and how different conditions can affect your scalp. It felt both spa-like and educational. Also, they use Korean and Japanese products, which I personally loved. You can tell they really care about what they're doing. I thoroughly enjoyed this and will 100% be back.

What I noticed first was how well maintained and clean both the building the business is located in, as well as the PH spa unit is kept. There is a specially designed head spa table that is used that is highly functional and comfortable. Hong is very knowledgeable and made sure to do a thorough analysis of my daughter's scalp prior to beginning her treatment. To prevent my daughter from getting her shirt wet, Hong provided a special towel to wear instead of her shirt. After lying down, she offered my daughter a lavender scented or unscented eye mask to further the relaxation during treatment. She then began a series of treatments including the use of special brushes to massage the scalp, removing dead skin cells. That was followed by the use of a hair steam treatment, and a neck and arm massage was provided during that time. The treatment was completed with some heat damage prevention products prior to her blow drying. I loved how personable, knowledgeable, and professional the treatment went. We will definitely be back.

I met Maddie by pure chance, and she got me in the very next day. What she did felt like magic transforming my hair from orange to the most beautiful, ashy tone. Since then, we've been on an incredible five-year hair journey together. Her talent with color and extensions is unmatched it honestly deserves to be studied. Not only did she bring my hair back to life, but she also took the time to educate me on how to properly care for it myself. Beyond her skill, Maddie is an amazing person. She's a true perfectionist and won't let you leave her chair unless she knows she's given you her absolute best. I even flew her out for my wedding because I trust no one else with my hair and at this point, she's so much more than my stylist. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!! She also does my wife's hair!
