Ra Salon was an amazing experience! I had a cut and blow dry with Adriana and she did an amazing job!! Not only that, but the whole team made me feel so loved and appreciated by including me in all of the salon talk. It truly felt like a small town salon, with good community, and great values. I loved this place so much! Additionally, they charged an extremely reasonable price for the service! I will be going back to get my hair done at graduation! read more

RA Salon Spa - Cut and Style by Adriana - Hair Extensions Near Me - College Station, Texas

Rachael Dorazio is outstanding. She is flexible, patient, positive, great at engaging in conversation, and is knowledgeable and can suggest great ways of styling and cutting. \ She is great at working with my type 2B curls and my hair always feels lighter & bouncier when I get a cut from her. At my wedding, my hair style kept form & lasted over SEVENTEEN (17) HOURS, through two ceremonies, a ballroom dance, and freestyle party dancing all night, and I always felt comfortable with it. read more

Brittany Masey did an amazing job fixing a disastrous (and I mean truly awful) haircut for me. She was so kind throughout the whole process even though I came in with quite a mess for her to fix. She was able to fix everything up and give me the haircut I originally wanted. I'm super grateful! I'll attach the before and after photos so you can see how much she saved my hair :) read more

A row of my daughter's extensions were falling out from another salon's install so I called RA Salon in a panic on a Saturday afternoon. Rachel was so gracious and agreed to see her right away. She reattached her row within a few minutes and didn't even charge her. It's a rarity to experience this level of kindness and customer service these days. As a result, we are going to Rachel for my daughter's extensions from now on. read more

This is a long one. I was pretty excited to come here since I haven't been able to treat myself for such a long time, but I am very disappointed with the results and honestly feel heartbroken. I asked for a FULL natural looking balayage, which I have been getting elsewhere for the last 5 years but needed to go somewhere local. I ended up with uneven highlights that do not look natural at all, no "painting" on of the bleach like typical balayage, so now my hair will grow out with chunky roots, and only the top part of my head (a partial) was done when I paid for a full. The back of my head received one singular longitudinal strip of lightener and the rest was untouched. I also asked for some shaping around my face haircut wise, and she just picked up my hair, pushed her scissors up to it at random points and now I have uneven length, randomly dispersed straight bits by my face. I did not feel like my stylist wanted me to be there and I left feeling pretty defeated +$250 poorer. My hair was my favorite accessory and now I want to hide it. I contacted the salon about this and they never responded. Please do not come here and make the same mistake I did. read more

RA Salon Spa - After of my hair by Holly - Hair Extensions Near Me - College Station, Texas

I've been an RA customer ever since I moved to college station in 2014, it's the only salon I would recommend in town because every experience has been amazing!! Today I got a haircut from Sydney and she nailed it!!! I asked for a 90s vibe with long layers, curtain bangs and to keep as much length as possible since I'm currently growing my hair out. I am obsessed with how it came out!! Sydney is so sweet, fun and personable, I will definitely be back in her chair! Wonderful vibes all around at RA and no matter what stylist you see, you're going to leave beyond happy! read more

Have never had eyelash extensions before until today! (9/27) To be honest I love them so much I do a lot of make up work, so already having my lashes done is soooo much easier! I wanted mine to look fake and like I bought them, but you can also do natural if you like. Rachel D did my lashes and she also cuts my hair. She's the best, she's so gentle while applying them, she keeps a conversation going. She even had a blanket in the room because it gets cold! It's the small things like that, that make me want to come back. She makes sure you love what you're getting before even leaving. I'm super picky, she put up with me with not irritation at all. I 10 outta 10 recommend going to RA Salon and spa, if you can get in seeing Rachel D I 100 outta 100 recommend that!!! Thank y'all soooo much for my amazing lashes and I always love the way Rachel does my hair!!! read more

If you are looking to do extensions in the Bryan/CS area this is definitely your place. I went here when I only had a week to get extensions and I also wanted 28" (which isn't common so it made it even harder to get what I wanted). But Rachel is amazing and did everything I wanted in that short amount of time! Other salons in town didn't even reply to me when I contacted them and Rachel went out of her way meeting with me when they were closed and everything. 10/10 recommend and I would definitely come here again! read more

RA Salon Spa - Hair Extensions Near Me - College Station, Texas

Where to even start.... I have never had hair extensions before and really wanted to try them. I researched and figured out exactly what I wanted. There aren't a lot of salons in CS that provide that service. . Went to the consultation and Rachel... my stylist...said it would be $850 rather than the $350 I was expecting - because "the quality of the hair is so much better". Whatever. I should have run away then. I decided to invest the money because she said they would last up to a year with general upkeep. The day of my appointment with Rachel... she literally put what felt like scotch tape all around my head. The tape was sticking out everywhere. Once again I didn't know any better. I asked her if that was normal. "Of course" she said. Then they started falling out. Over the course of the next 5 weeks I had to go back at least once a week for something... she did me the "favor" of not charging me for these visits but I could tell she wasn't really sorry for what she had done to my hair or my self confidence at this point. It was terrible. It was more like she was bothered I was coming back. The last time I saw Rachel she literally had me in a chair in the middle of the salon walkway (most clients have a room to go in). I was humiliated and crying. Then she started literally RIPPING the extensions out. When I tell you it was one of the most painful experiences I've ever had I am not exaggerating. To make matters worse as she was ripping the hair off my head she was throwing the hair away. I literally was sitting there crying from pain and then that? So I said what are you doing? I spent A LOT of money on that hair. She dug it out of the trash. Never apologized for the physical and emotional pain she caused not to mention my wallet. She's a liar when she says she know what she's doing. Blatant liar. I was able to find someone else to "fix" all the things she had broken and that cost an extra $350. DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON IF YOURE WANTING EXTENSIONS. You can see from the photos my stylist took she LITERALLY had ripped patches out of my hair... and that's what was hurting so bad. My new girl couldn't believe anyone would do what she did to a client. The only thing I can think is she knew I didn't have a clue, didnt know what questions to ask... was just trusting she was being honest. I don't know how the woman sleeps at night. Very traumatic experience for me and I hope anyone reading this will think again about going to this woman or this salon. read more

Just didnt think that my stylist was that great. I did at first as she advertises a flexible schedule. Then she states she doesn't do weekends (Saturdays) in the Summer and then she never has time ...other days of the week. Not flexible. The only way to get in touch with her is messaging and it takes forever for her to respond. Just not my kind of stylist. read more

I've been with Dana for a little over a year now, and she's absolutely amazing. I naturally dark, curly hair that we've been blonding. This woman is just wonderful to be around, and she's great at what she does. 100% recommend. read more

Rachel Dorazio was excellent. She gave me full highlights & a hair trim and I was incredibly impressed. (Like mostly anyone), I'm extremely particular about my hair and very protective of it. I have A LOT of hair, and Rachel was very thorough and took all the time she needed to make sure the highlights were perfect. I would go to her anytime, and the price was fair too. I have also had my hair done w/ Natalie Moffett but she was unavailable this time and in desperation I tried Rachel. They are both truly wonderful hairdressers and I recommend both highly. The Salon staff and owner are all very kind, talented, and profession. This is my favorite salon in College Station. read more

NATALIE at RA Salon is the BEST! I have struggled so much with finding someone in the BCS area that I trust doing extensions and she offers the Bella Hand-Tied Extensions. These have been my absolute favorites and I have had tape Ins, halos, clips Ins, EVERYTHING and the hand tied have been the best! She's also the best in CS I have found for blondes! Natalie is definitely my Go-To girl here in CS! read more

Brooklyn was amazing. I have a hard time trusting new stylists but she was personable and talented. I had to switch after moving from Maryland where I'd been with the same stylist for years. Pricing was more than fair and I was beyond happy with the results. Highly recommend. read more

Rachel was fantastic! She listened to what I wanted, and gave me exactly that. Hard to find that! For a wet cut it was only $30, so I felt it was reasonable. She cut very quickly and deftly, so I was in and out in about 20 minutes (!). Their hair and eyelash extensions seem pretty great, so maybe some day I'll be brave enough to come try them out for myself :p. Overall it was a great experience, and I'll be back! read more

I've been seeing Rachel D for about two years now, she's taken me from dark brown to the picture shown to even more blonde at my last visit this past weekend (I forgot to ask for pictures but it looks amazing).

So this salon's customer service was completely unacceptable. It began when we arrived on time for our 10:30 appointment but ended up waiting for 30 minutes to be seen. While waiting, no one approached us to explain what was happening, no one introduced themselves, and no on greeted us. Once we were approached, the stylist did not introduce herself or explain the hold up. After this, the stylist began to ask what we came in for and already had an idea of how much to charge us. We explicitly showed her pictures of what we wanted and the only thing she cared about was how much we were willing to spend - nothing relative to our preferences. We felt very dismissed. Next, the stylist working was insensitive with the treatment and rough. When being corrected she did not change her demeanor. While being worked on, the stylist was bouncing between two other clients and neglecting all of us equally. She was in the back parlaying with her other colleagues and her bosses. After being left for 45 minutes alone with foils in my hair, I finally prompted her to come complete my job - she claimed that she was coming but did not help until about 15 minutes later. She was still chatting with coworkers. Then, when she finished my hair I realized that she carelessly bleached my shirt - my favorite blue shirt. The kicker, worst part, and reason we will not be coming back and not recommended this place to anyone who asks is how shiesty and manipulative they were when we paid. We were specifically told a certain price in the beginning and were charged $50 over. Before we paid we confronted the stylist and the woman at the front desk and they said and I quote "I don't know what you want me to do." We paid as soon as we could and got the hell out of there. DO NOT GO TO RA SALON IN COLLEGE STATION. NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE. read more

Where do I begin....I went to Rachel (the owner) to have extensions put in on a Friday. I literally was Hopi g on a plane to Las Vegas right after the hair appointment which she knew about and sent me on my way with the most horrible hair extension job I've ever seen. I went In For a consultation 2 weeks prior so she should have been well prepared (knowing how much hair I needed) for my appt. I told Rachel at the consultation that I always require double the hair that most people need because I have so much hair and she agreed. Well go to the day of my appt and she only puts one bundle of hair in (which is not very much) and I clearly needed way more and she sent me on my way like that anyway. I will be posting pics of what she had done. To add insult to injury she charges me $1300 and when I got back from my trip I had to go to a different salon and pay another $1000 just to have them fix her horrible job. They ended up having to put in 3 more bundles to make my hair look normal. She is NOT a extension expert and do NOT give her your money! If she was an expert she would have never let me walk out of her salon looking the way I did. You could see all of my short hair...it wasn't blended nor could it be because I needed more hair. If I could give no starts I would. read more

Rachel has been doing my hair extensions for 7 years now. Today was the first time she my eyelash extensions and I LOVE THEM! I have never left unhappy with anything she has done for me.

RA Salon is the best place in the area to get your hair done. I wanted to go from dark brown to blonde and Rachel made it achievable! Not only that, but she let me come back a few days later for a request of more blonde!! The color blended beautifully and she was more than happy to help me. I would definitely recommend this salon! read more

I went to Ra because they offer the $20 off coupon on their website for first time guests, so I figured I would try it since I don't have a steady salon in the BCS area. I went in for a slight bayalage and they did a decent job on it- it didn't look anything like the pictures I showed them and was a little different than what I asked for but it looked overall pretty so I can't really complain about that. My issues started when I went to check out and got my price total. Now, I was scheduled & had requested a partial highlight since I really only wanted the lower quarter of my hair lightened, and I wound up with the highlights starting just a few inches below my scalp, so obviously she used more product. I also have thick hair, so I'm used to paying for a full highlight even if I only requested a partial because they do have to use more product. HOWEVER. I have never in my entire life heard of a place charging you extra for a shampoo & blow dry (not style!!) after coloring your hair. You HAVE to wash my hair- what else are you gonna do, let me leave with bleach in my hair?? And the blow dry is so the customer & the hair dresser can see the end result of the color. The hairdresser that dyed my hair (who happened to be the owner) had to leave, so another girl rinsed & dryed my hair, but by the time I got to the checkout, she had left the building as well so I couldn't even argue the pricing and wound up paying WAY more than I expected, and the $20 coupon was pointless as I got charged the completely unnecessary $20 for shampoo & blow dry. So TLDR; they did an ~okay~ job even if it wasn't exactly what I wanted, but they will nickel and dime you and charge you as much as they possibly can- and then leave the building before you can question it!! I won't be returning, but you can make your own opinion. read more

Started going here maybe in...2011 or 2012, when it was at a different location. I'm not at all picky about haircut, because my hair grows really fast, but I've always had nice flattering cuts! I did the feathers-bonded-to-the-hair thing around that time, and they looked super cute and were applied well. Had a few shellac manicures (as in, long-wearing shellac over my own nails) and was happy with the manicure, the color and the wear (easily 3& 1/2 weeks-I purposefully let it grow out the first time I ever had shellac just to be amazed at how sturdy it is). I do my own now just because I change colors every 2-3 days and that'd be super pointless to shellac or gel them), but if I had an event or something, I'd be happy to have them done here again. I AM picky about hair color, because since probably 2013 I've been doing unnatural colors. Yeah, before Kylie and friends started everyone doing it. It's been red (not redhead red, like Yelp red), blue, purple, silver, lavender, sea green, and several combinations (blue and purple together, it's currently silver and lavender, etc). I'm fussier about color than cut because fixing color requires that you damage your hair some more on top of the damage double processing caused to start with (bleach hair, apply crazy color). I've always had a good result here, and the color held up a good while (don't blame Rachel though if your flame red fades in two weeks because you soap the h$$$ out of it twice a day and lay out three days a week. You do NOT have to shampoo every day if you're not active-Google it!) and I've visited the salon at like, all three locations that it's been at, which is always a good sign, right? My hair is still healthy and looking nice! I've never had it done, but I've seen several girls getting eyelash extensions here and they look KILLER. Whoever it is they have doing that is good. Everyone is hospitable and it seems very low-drama, if that appeals to you (being in salons or spas or whatnot already makes me socially anxious). I've never heard them talking smack about the employee that's not there or the customer they had yesterday, which i value. I definitely think the place is worth a look! read more
