I have spent years searching for a truly exceptional hair stylist in the Houston/Katy/Richmond area--someone who doesn't just "do hair," but actually sees you, listens, and cares about delivering the result you're hoping for. After countless disappointing experiences and hundreds of dollars spent, I can confidently say: Mariah is the one I've been looking for. This was, without question, the best experience I've ever had with my hair. From the moment I sat in her chair, Mariah took the time to truly consult with me--she looked at my hair, asked thoughtful questions, and most importantly, she listened. What stood out most was the trust she built almost immediately. With her knowledge, calm confidence, and patience, I knew I was in the right hands. No one has ever spent that kind of quality time with me. For over three and a half hours, she educated me about my hair--how it behaves, what it needs, and how to care for it in a way that actually works. She explained my options clearly without ever being pushy or trying to sell me anything. She was simply there to help--and that made me trust her even more. I originally came in considering a treatment, but through her expertise, she helped me understand what my hair truly needed. I left with a hair treatment, a haircut that suits me better than anything I've had before, and a clear plan moving forward. Mariah is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and truly a gift. To have someone you trust with your hair is everything--and she earned that trust from the very beginning. If you're in Houston/Katy/Richmond and still searching for "your person," stop looking. You've found her. read more

I was looking for a new look that would make me feel like a new woman! and Mariah was able to achieve that 100%. She's such a nice person to talk to and knows her industry experience very well. She was able to answer all of my questions along with instructions of how to take care of my hair. I would totally recommend her! :D read more

I went to Mariah for the first time yesterday and she was the first person to cut my hair in a few months because I have been away at school. She did a good job. All I asked for was a simple trim or a clean up and that is all I got nothing fancy she put the shape back into it. I like where her place is located and the lay out of it. She was very easy to schedule with and with all my head issues besides my hair she did not freak out she was curious, she wanted to be educated. I saw Mariah for the second time this past week and I took a big change and had her cut my hair off and color and she did an amazing job! I still love it. read more

I absolutely loved my experience with Mariah!! Mariah did an amazing job with my hair color and my hair feels and looks so much better! I cannot wait to come back again read more

Mariah is an awesome hairdresser! I am not a girly girl and I walked into her studio literally telling her to do what she'd like with my hair. It takes a great hairdresser to simply just need to talk to you to get to know your personality enough to be able to come up with the perfect hair. Mariah did just that! A year later she still is my go to. She's friendly and honest, prices are fair and her work is awesome. If you know exactly what you want or if you have no clue, she'll be able to help you in either case! read more

Whenever I have a hair appointment with Mariah, I find myself looking forward to it all week long. I love that she takes the time to discuss the whole process with you. She is honest about everything while also making you feel comfortable and asking about your own ideas and suggestions as well. She always knows exactly what will work and what won't. Not only have I gotten highlights from her, but also haircuts and the Brazilian blowout. The Brazilian has absolutely changed my life and she does an amazing job with my color every single time. Even though I have really long, thick hair which takes quite a while to work on, I am always in disbelief at how quickly the time seems to pass by when I have an appointment with Mariah. She is super friendly, sweet, and funny, and this is why I will continue going to her for all hair needs. She is the best! read more

Mariah was referred by a friend and we are SO THRILLED with her service! Mariah cut both and styled not only me, but my two teenage daughters as well. All three of us have super thick and curly hair and Mariah tamed it! She first listens to what you want, then she carefully cuts and styles. Then she shows you how to achieve the look at home. We curly girls know - finding someone who understands curly hair is a rarity! Mariah rocked it in my house!! Glad we found you!! read more

Mariah is a true artist extremely professional and she really takes her time to listen to what you want. Her technique is flawless and the way she layers hair is next level! You can tell she is super passionate about what she does. My hair has never looked this amazing. I know it sounds silly, but when she was all done I felt as though I walked out of a magazine she even gave me some tips on how to care for my hair! She is next level! read more

Amazing colorist! Mariah has the ability to take fried, damaged and filled out hair and formulate to make a dream come true in hair! I swear she is one of the top professionals when it comes to balayage style highlighting, i feel i can get a little extra wear time for when the kids don't let me get in regularly. She is so patient and is very detailed when consulted on the best method/idea for hair. SUPER honest as well! I would recommend her to everyone! Also, she is GREAT with all gender haircuts read more

Mariah was awesome! She took her time and did a beautiful job on my daughters hair. The difference is night and day. She was very professional, friendly and fun. My daughter loves her new look! Thank you for the great look and making it so much fun. This was my daughters 1st highlight and balayage experience, and we will certainly be back. read more

From the first time I went to Mariah, she has always done an AMAZING job with my hair. Whether it's color, highlights, a cut, a Brazilian blowout, or conditioning, she does an amazing job. She always listens to my ideas, and always offers her own as well. If she feels that it's going to risk the integrity of your hair, she will definitely let you know, and usually have a workaround, so that your hair stays healthy. She's also a great educator! She will tell you the best ways to take care of your hair to keep it healthy, and always explain what products she's putting in your hair. I always walk out feeling great! Mariah is also very personable, and makes you feel very comfortable from the moment you walk in. She is GREAT!! read more

Mariah is a great professional. I had a great hair cut. Furthermore, she is very nice and extremely polite. I really recommend her.

Probably the only time I've ever absolutely LOVED my hair color! I wanted the perfect "summer kiss", and since my hair is naturally super dark I knew I was dreaming...but when I told Mariah what I was hoping for, she knocked it out of the park! My hair came out SO GOOD. And it felt amazing afterwards! If you're always afraid of trying something new like I am, Mariah will walk you through it and give her professional opinion (and what she thinks would look great on you too). You won't regret it, whether it's color, high/lowlights, or a cut - you've come to the right place!! Mariah knows exactly what she's doing, and listens to what you want. Her conversation and stories can keep you at her chair for days too (LOL). Can't wait to go back and get my summer color back soon!! read more

Mariah is a legitimate wizard I think. I never thought I was really picky with my hair, but I can't remember the last time I was truly happy with my hair, until Mariah blessed my locks with her magical fingers. Her salon is located in the Sola Salon studios and it's super private and cozy. If you're looking to really get one on one service and be pampered, this is the place. She was also super sweet even though I was super late... I'M SORRY MARIAH! Mariah was really concerned at making sure I got exactly what I wanted. She did a thorough consult before and even had me text her a picture of what I wanted before our appointment. When I got there we did another quick consult and got started. She's really sweet and personable, and easy to converse with. Now onto the actual service. We did a full base color, toner on the ends and a trim. My hair is exactly everything I wanted, I went from a crazy balayage that went orange (from another high end salon) to a sleek dark brown that has a lot of dimension towards the ends. She got the exact color that I had envisioned. I was honestly sooo happy walking out of there. It feels super healthy and I feel like the new color makes me look a little more sophisticated. For the skill and artistry, her prices are more than fair. Go to Mariah, she's a hair wizard! read more

Need a new hairstylist ? Here is your Personal referral to Mariah's Hair Canvas! I call her Magic Mariah ! She established her business in Thousand Oaks and is now of service to the beauties in the Ventura/Oxnard area a few days a week. She does an absolute young and fresh color and style. I love when she does her magic, always different, always beautiful! read more

Finally, a hair artist that actually listens. Today was my third visit with Mariah. It has been a very long time since I let someone else color my hair. She nailed it. I love it. The cut is spot on, the color, perfection. I love her. A+++ read more

Best cut I have ever had on my curly/wavy hair! She's sweet and honest. Highly recommend her!

Mariah is HANDS DOWN the best. It is unreal how many people have messed up and damaged my blonde hair. I came to Mariah with a head full of uneven brassy gold hair with every WRONG shade of blonde and she worked closely with me, giving excellent attention to detail and the end result is longer, fuller, healthier hair that is EXACTLY the color that I dreamed of. I have since moved from Thousand Oaks to San Jose and make a point of flying down to visit Mariah every month as I now do not trust anyone else with my hair. read more

Mariah was very nice while cutting my hair, unlike other hair places I've been too she speaks to you and is interested in what you have to say. She also has a wide array of products and like 27 different bottles of shampoo for different customers. To put it plainly she is really good at what she does and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Yesterday was the worst salon experience of my life. Mariah ruined my hair. I had grown out my natural dark blonde for 5 months so I could get it blended with my lighted blonde and get an ombre look. Mariah tried to charge me $200 for RUINING MY HAIR. I am so angry now I have to pay more somewhere else for a color correction and just over all I'm horrified. She was extremely unprofessional. Working on 3 clients at the same time. She spent barely any time on my hair washed it out, got water in my ears and eyes. I told her immediately my hair looked nothing like we discussed. She started arguing with me and was trying to educate me, super condescending. I'm horrified. I don't even know what to do. I've never had this kind of experience. EVER. Look at the photo I posted, you'll see. In addition, she lied to my face when I asked her about the yelp deal. She said she doesn't participate in that but here here is the deal? Seriously????????!!!!!!!! read more

I used to NEVER leave my house without my hair up in a ponytail. One was for practical reasons. I just always wanted my hair away from my face. Another was because I HATED my hair. But after that first haircut with Mariah which she styled on her own, I still wear my hair up in a ponytail lol! (I have kids I rush around with everyday so it is still very practical for me). BUT it never bothers me anymore to let my hair down more than once in awhile, and it actually feels nice. I'm glad I trusted her hairstyling and made me feel good about my hair. She also made me and my daughter look really pretty one day for a wedding. And today I just had my first hair color and very happy with the results. I honestly think whatever I need to have done, I will be very pleased. What I also like about her is how she carefully recommends based on your features and your personality, a style that would fit YOU. She is also very knowledgeable in her craft and keeps herself well educated. I'm just very happy with her. I absolutely don't mind making that drive to feel good . read more

Mariah is an artist and visionary! I heard about her when I asked my friend who did her beautiful highlights and haircut. She said "Mariah, she's great"! As a result of a move, I needed a local hair stylist. More so, I had just cut off 8 inches of my long hair and my previous stylist didn't do a good job shaping my new shoulder length hair! I was bummed! I called Mariah and she took the time to consult with me on my color (I had blond highlights) and how she proposed we clean up my recent haircut. She listened, she advised, she recommended and I felt confident moving forward with a plan! For the color, Mariah recommended balayage (a much more customizable technique for coloring my hair. It appears more natural even though I technically went blonder!). She also understood and even helped me understand her approach in cutting my hair so it would sit naturally and give me the style I described (I have limited vocabulary when it comes to what I want but Mariah understood!). I returned to Mariah recently with another request for her to consider and of course she listened and she had a plan. I wanted to keep my hair shorter (but long enough for a pony tail as workout a lot!). I shower everyday and am always on the go. I never take the time to blow out my hair and like it to air dry. I have wavy hair and wanted her to recommend products that could help emphasize my natural waves but keep frizz to a minimum. She recommended two products to start (a texture gel and a beach spray). She also showed me how I could handle my hair when it's wet so it would dry with a great style. She starts with a great cut and went from there. I have been to Mariah three times and I appreciate the extra time she takes to consult with her client, her experience with color, and her willingness to consider your lifestyle and preferences when she cuts your hair. Believe me, I tried other stylists in my effort to find Mariah and what I discovered is that when you are with someone for a long time, your hair and hair color is easy for them to sustain. When you meet with new stylists, it's hard to explain your goals and you end up with their version of what they think you want. Mariah is truly a professional in her line of work. She wants the client to be happy and she takes the time to do so! I found my girl! read more

To put it simply, Mariah is absolutely the best at what she does. She is professional, passionate about what she does, and is incredibly patient and sweet. She listens to what you want done and she goes above and beyond to make sure that you are completely satisfied and happy with your hair. I wouldn't even think about going to anyone else. I would give her an 11 out of 10! read more

I love going to Mariah's Hair Canvas!! She's been my hair stylist for years now and I can't see myself going with anyone else. She really listens to what it is you want and doesn't give false hope if it is unachievable. If you're skeptical like I was about a new stylist, just make an appointment and let Mariah do her thing. You'll never walk out of there disappointed! read more

It's about time I write a review about Mariah since she's been doing my hair for about 4 years!! Ive gotten more compliments on my hair since she's been doing my reverse ombré with blond and beautifully placed purple!! My hair looks and feels amazing every time I leave. I'll be devastated if she ever moves!! Stay put, Mariah!! read more

Wow she was great!! The color and cut was so nice, I will be going back and highly recommend her services! I feel beautiful, Thank you!

I absolutely enjoy the time I spent in her chair and know I will always be happy with my hair. THANK YOU Mariah..........love love love you......Corky read more

I've been going to Mariah for the past two years. I found her through a group on. I went in for a haircut and came out with haircut and COLOR! Didn't take much convincing, I had been wanting to do something to my virgen hair for a while but never felt comfortable with anyone... I was a bit nervous and asked a lot of questions and she said "do you trust me?" And I was a little uneasy but said yes. It was the BEST decision I could have made for my hair. She cut off over 10 inches, gave me bangs PLUS the color! I explained I'm very simple, I wanted something subtle yet noticeable and she did just that! Just went in on Sat and I explained I wanted A different color for the summer and she said "I've gotten to know your style, how about ..." And I said "yes! Yes! Go ahead, I trust you!" You gotta understand, I'm indecisive and not good with styles or anything thing like that but I can always trust that Mariah will do an excellent job! I recommend her 200% !!!! You won't regret it, go go go to her! read more

Mariah makes me look and feel fabulously beautiful! We all need a Mariah in our corner. I have followed Mariah to her new location and am sooo happy with the new locale. Mariah colors, cuts, and styles my hair for every occasion. Sometimes I just get a blow out for special events so that I can look my best. I get so many compliments when she does my hair. Let's face it, coloring is time consuming. But time with Mariah is like a ladies night out. We laugh, she pours me wine, and I leave better looking then I entered. A win win! read more

Top marks and praise for Mariah. Her new studio at Sola Salon is the perfect *canvas* for her to work her magic on your hair. I love how she has an awesome knack for listening to what I have in mind and then explaining to me how she will achieve the best results, and she nails it! I have a tendency to want to change my color a lot, and she is great at figuring out how to change up my look successfully. I always leave my appointments with her feeling my best. She's warm and easy to chat with--also a huge bonus. Whether she's doing my Brazilian blowout, color, cut, style (or all of the above), I know I will receive excellent attention with amazing results. Thanks Mariah! read more

I came to this page thinking I'd write a review that would knock the ball out of the park for this extraordinary hair stylist. Wow! When I read the reviews I saw that it had all been said! She is everything that her other clients say with a cherry on top! First, she is an excellent communicator. I went to her with a bad haircut I got from someone who had been cutting my short hair on and off for awhile and Mariah understood within minutes what we had to do to clean it up and how we would proceed in future. Her energy is positive; she had nothing bad to say about the bit of a mess I walked in with and understood exactly how to create something lovely. She takes the time to listen and has proven to be nothing less than a talented artist. The studio provides a quiet one on one experience and after my second visit I have become a regular client after a search that lasted for months. She is a very pleasant person who sincerely cares about client satisfaction and the quality of her work. Mariah is conscientious without being pretentious. She's a gem! Thank you, Mariah! read more

Had an appointment with Mariah yesterday. She did an AWESOME job on my hair, as she always does. She is very passionate about her work. Always giving me tips of what to do or shouldn't do (which I appreciate very much) She is a very sweet girl and always make me laugh! There has been several occasions that Mariah has gone out of her way to help me out. She always does that little bit extra. I'm glad I found her! She Rocks!!! read more

I have been going to Mariah for almost 2 years now. I followed her from another salon to her new location at salon suites. I moved to California from Hawaii and was looking for a stylist to cut and color my hair and was a little worried about finding someone that would cut my hair the way I liked it. I have very straight, Asian hair and it is unforgiving if the cut is not symmetrical. From the first time I sat in her chair, Mariah educated me about color, the coloring process, what could be achieved, what I can expect with different coloring techniques, etc. She is a natural teacher and I gained an understanding of what was being done to my hair. She also talked about how certain hair care products were important to keep my color looking great. I LOVED my cut, Brazilian blowout (that was my first experience with it) and highlights/color. She provided several options to cover gray and I never felt rushed to make a decision. We talked and talked about so many things, before I knew it, we were done. I've been going back ever since and I totally trust her judgement and skills. She is fun, friendly, kind, honest, professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable about color and hair. And her prices are very reasonable. She recently moved to salon suites off of moorpark road and thousand oaks blvd, great location, plenty of parking and the room she has is so cute! read more

Mariah Brown is wonderful. She is creative, talented and she listens! What else can I say:Love my hair - thank you Mariah.

My daughters and I have been using Mariah's services for years now and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. She is so passionate about her craft and is constantly educating herself so that she is up on all the latest techniques for cuts and color. She really listens to what you want but is also willing to tell you the truth about what will work for your particular hair and lifestyle, which is a quality I admire and need in a hairdresser. And she is magic with color!! Her prices are very reasonable and there are so many ways she can give you the look you want even if you are on a budget. And as other's have pointed out she has such a great, easygoing personality - time flies when you're in her chair. If you are looking for a change, I can't give Mariah a high enough recommendation. You will not be disappointed. read more

Just had highlights done by Mariah. I love my highlights and my hair is so soft and smooth. I have thick and coarse hair and Mariah always uses the best products to keep your hair damage free after color and highlights. She is the best! read more

I have been seeing Mariah for cuts, color, and brazilian blowouts for about 1 year. (This review is long overdue because she is incredible!!!) She truly is a hair "artist" and you can tell she loves what she does. When you visit her she listens to your interests and provides honest, helpful feedback every-time. I always feel like she understands what I want but goes above-and-beyond what I thought was possible. Also, she is so sweet, funny and patient. I adore seeing her and plan to be a client for a long time! read more
