    Second color
    Carolina B.

    Just move to Houston and I was very afraid not to be able to find a good place to get my hair done. The bridals suite recommended Jay. He did a great job in my hair specially He used products that didn't damage my hair. At the beginning when I got back home I thought I was too blond and text him back and he took me the next day to make me less blond, then when I left his studio I realize I liked the first color he did ( I know I know). He told me we can go back to the first color without damage my hair because he uses a special organic product that is kind with my hair. I didn't do it because I went out of town so I didn't have the time to do it. I'm back in town so I'll get my new app to go back to the first color he made. Can't wait to have it again. Thank you Jay for your patience and for spoil me with your expertise. See you soon!

    If you're looking for an honest and professional hairstylist or salon.. this is it! Stop what you're doing and book an appointment with Jay! I was nervous looking around for an overdue haircut and color. I found Jay here on yelp and had set up an appointment without knowing anything. I had a couple of photos saved to share of an idea of what I liked and left the rest in Jay's hands and oh my goodness gracious did Jay deliver!!! I left the salon feeling beautiful, confident and just refreshed in this sad, cold and rainy Houston weather. The salon is clean, personal and professional along with the best products and tools. I didn't feel rushed and in fact, I felt like I made a friend. Jay is such an angel. He was attentive and even asked me if I wanted anything from Starbucks. Kind, inspiring, funny, and just a beautiful aura to be around. Brilliant with his work and technique while still being honest with what he can do and what might happen to reassure you of what your hair can or cannot handle. I love that. My hair was long, thin, and quite damaged and was able to be turned into healthy-looking mushroom brown. "Hands of an angel!" :) highly recommend this salon and stylist! A true hidden gem. My photo does not do his work justice. But can you imagine just imagine when it's styled? Goodness!

    I genuinely cannot recommend Jay enough! I had been box dying my hair for years, heat treating it every day, letting my fiancee cut it and had been trying to let it grow out naturally. Still, I was nervous to go get my hair done by someone else because it usually didn't turn out how I would've liked. Jay absolutely blew me away. It was immediately clear that he's very well practiced and works in such an artistic and professional manner. I've never been so comfortable in the chair and the results were way better than I could've imagined possible, especially with what he had to work with. He gave me a gorgeous blonde balayage, removed the yellow/orange with a toner, and cut my hair beautifully without loosing too much length. Thank you Jay!!

    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.

Light snacks, like cranberries and nuts are provided along with hot tea options, and citrus flavored water. The space is very nice. There are locker rooms with plush spa robes and complementary slippers. The locker room has two steam showers if you want to wash yourself after your massage. They also provide hair products to try as well as a Dyson hair dryer. I was definitely very impressed with the luxurious feel of the spa, however, was turned off by the receptionist who checked me in - her robotic, transactional nature was starkly juxtaposed against the warmth of the spa. I noticed she was the same with all customers so it wasn't personal but interaction with her was unsettling. I booked the 60min signature hydrafacial and the esthetician was welcoming and willingly customized my facial based on my requests. No major issues encountered but I noticed we started 10 minutes late and ended 10 minutes early so I thought marketing it as a 60min experience was a bit misleading. Also note the 60min Signature Hydrafacial does not include any hand/neck massages nor boosters nor light therapy so the $285 price was much more expensive than my usual spa. I will not return for another facial but may try massage in the future. We also booked pedicures and again the space is beautiful!! We were given a palette to select colors and the ladies were extremely friendly! My toes came out adorable! I found the seating to be very uncomfortable for a short person despite many pillows placed behind me for support so I honestly struggled to enjoy the experience but the space was very nicely decorated and clean looking. We were offered tea and snacks at the beginning as well. Overall, this was a very nice spa. I found it fairly expensive and overpriced, but I recognize beautiful spaces have a cost and that's what I should've expected in the River Oaks area. There is complementary validated parking!

There was no expiration date, it just says "next service". So while I was planning on finding another salon initially, I was pulled in by the offer, plus the stylist that would have done my hair is very nice and I was familiar with her. Seemed like a win win. However, upon checking in, I decided to ask about the email and I was told that it no longer applied. I was offered 10% off, then 15%. While that is nice, that is not what was emailed to me. I mean to be fair, I didn't ask them for a discount, they emailed ME. So I left, then came back to show the lady the email, so she knew I was not making this up lol. She then said ok fine we can do it at 30% off, but the vibe felt off by then. It was awkward for me, which is 100% my problem, but I kind of felt like I would be begging for a discount...that was offered to me before I got there lol. Anyway, I decided to just leave and with that, I am no longer a client at this salon. There are so many places to go in Houston, I'd rather spend my money at a place that honors their word without prompting. Note: it wasn't until I said that I would be updating my Yelp review that they could suddenly do the 30% off. The stylists here are really nice and the salon itself is nice too, but this threw me off.

She then began a series of treatments including the use of special brushes to massage the scalp, removing dead skin cells.

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.
