    My original and incredible hairstylist was Cindy, but she became a mom, so she's not regularly at the salon. My current hairstylist is Sandra Nava and she's amazing. She's a blower whisperer! The whole staff is great, they have multiple services, and they take good care of their clients. I highly recommend this salon.

    After more than a year after my move to Houston I finally picked a salon. I had the most amazing experience. Not sure why I waited so long. I was paired with a fantastic stylist, Nikki, who made me feel great. We connected on food and got to know each other so easily. Can't wait to go back. My hair looks AMAZING!!! Left the shop on a high! #bestdayever

    Got my prom makeup (by Nikki) and hair (by Chloe) done here. It looked amazing and lasted from 11 am-2 am (15 hours!!). I asked for a more natural makeup look and an updo. My acne was super bad but Nikki made it look practically nonexistent.

    Back from ombre hair to a nice gloss brown ! Ready for fall! Thanks to Theresa and Mario I love this little gem of a place.

    I have been thinking about doing my hair for awhile but put it off because every stylist that I asked wanted to bleach my hair. I heard great things about Nikki and with an out of town trip coming up I decided why not give it a try. I showed her a few pics of what I had in mind but ultimately left it up to what she thought would look good. She was awesome!! My hair turned out absolutely amazing and she did not have to bleach it! I've already had a few compliments. I would highly recommend Nikki. She's very sweet and listens to what you want.

    Amazing job on my hair

    Love this place. The only place I would go get my hair done. Wether it's to get my hair trimmed or dyed it'll be at shades salon. The stylists there are very friendly and nice. My stylist is Nikki and will probably be my forever stylist. She colored my hair six months ago and I still get compliments. Will recommend to all my friends and family.

    I love this place !! This is where you can find innovation and creativity for your hair . My stylist Nikki Pham does wonders for my hair . She listens and gives what I want and I walk out a happy guy ! Thanks !!!

    Nikki is a color/cut genius! She will give you results that most hair stylists will say is impossible while also really taking care of your hair! If you're seeking a super dramatic change that requires a lot of bleaching, it's super great that she genuinely cares about your hair and isn't just trying to get you in and out. She is very meticulous and works magic with mixing colors! Not to mention, she is a complete pleasure to talk to over several hours of work. She's super super nice and so sweet, but will honestly tell you like it is; just listen to her! Be patient, and if she offers two options, just pick the one that she recommends - you won't regret it! If you're super sensitive about your hair or are worried because you have "ethnic" hair like me, see Nikki, she'll make you feel comfortable just in her confidence and sweet, down-to-Earth vibe!

    Auburn for fall

    it's been 8 weeks since my last visit and this time I got a cut and color change. Sandra did exactly what I wanted. I'm so in love. I would recommend sandra to anyone!

    Before and after!

    I can only speak for my stylist Mario. He is great. I always get compliments when he does my hair. I have not yet tried any other services.

    I apologize for the long post in advance...lol. I have been coming here for over a yr and had…read morepreviously had nothing but good experiences. I only allow Sara to do my nails. She deserves 5+ stars. There is a male who is either the mgr or owner. He was the first one to start treating me poorly. I had to return due to gel polish coming off 1 nail....which had never happened & hasn't happened since. It was at about the week mark and Sara was happy to fix it. I had scheduled a slightly earlier appt but had an unavoidable delay. So, I came in later in my lunch break and explained if she couldn't do it I would return after work since I was ~20 min. later than planned....on me. She asked her current client if she would mind if she fixed the 1nail & the client was super nice, said no prob. I had already pulled out $10 to give Sara. B4 I could hand it to her, the man at front began yelling at me telling me I better tip her. Sara became upset saying that I owed her no tip bc the polish shouldn't have chipped. She tried to refuse the tip but I insisted bc she had been nice enough to fit me in. Fast-forward about 4 mos & Sara left on vac for a month. My nails were lasting nicely but after 3 weeks i decided on a polish chg due to an event I had. Person new 2 me spent about 10 minutes thoroughly inspecting my nails and wouldn't answer if there was a problem. She walked off & returned to do the same thing a couple of times insisting that I did not have gel polish on my nails. I told her that was not true. She then went to one of the? Asst mgrs who came over and said the same thing. I told them to look at my toes to see the perfect match...which is impossible to achieve unless it's the same substance. They then insisted that i had powder. I told them I had only done powder once in my life, it wasn't with them and I would never do it again (side note...as a physician, it is not rec due to most salons' communal dipping which is unsanitary and increases risk of infection). This went on for another 10 min to the point that they lied and said they checked the system to verify my last service and insisted it was dip. I then insisted on seeing proof of that at which time they changed and said it must be acrylic. Again, have only done that once...not with them. I prefer gel. They then "apologized" and said it was just because "those services cost more"...??!!!...what the what??!!!...and that had what to do with me and my request to change my GEL POLISH??!! At that point I became upset and told them that I did not appreciate the way they were talking to me and implying as though I had done something wrong or unscrupulous. They again apologized saying they would take care of me, but then began insisting that Sara must have added extra coats of polish or topcoat???!!!. So, now i felt they were then trying to drag her name thru the mud and imply she had done something wrong. Meanwhile the sweet young lady that was changing the polish on my toes was done while the person working on my nails hadn't started. I wouldn't have come back if it wasn't for Sara. Fast forward two visits later and I had my sister with me who has Alzheimer's. It was a Wed and when we checked out, I reminded the lady checking me out (also either mgr or co-owner) to add my sr citizen discount. She asked for my id despite me having been there for well over a year getting that discount or the medical discount on Mondays. No prob. I showed her and she proceeded to tell me that I was not old enough...I'm 59 soon to be 60. She insisted that it has always been 65 for the discount. I calmly said no one had ever said that in the entire time i had been coming (& that included her but I didn't go there). She insisted it has always been the policy, followed by running outside to check their promo board......I pointed out that most places start sr discounts at 55, to which she replied that they are their own business separate from anyone else. She pointed out that i couldn't use my points and a sr discount together anyway so rec i use my points. When i paid for my sister's, she started again b4 she even looked at her driver's license. I pointed out that my sister was 66! She seemed disappointed . It's a 10% discount!! I get that businesses are likely feeling the economic crunch...but so are consumers! Don't offer the discounts if you don't intend for them to be used. I soo used to love this place. I would have given them a rating of 10 on the 5 point scale... but they charge too much (plus i tip 20%) to be treated poorly. I will likely continue going bc of Sara...she is the best and I always get tons of compliments on my nails. Mani/pedis should be a relaxing experience. It's sad that many of the nail salons have a way of stressing you out more than when you entered. If this continues, I will likely have to start searching for a new place. Good luck to you, maybe your experience will be better than mine.
