Unfortunately, the communication and…read moreoverall experience were so frustrating that I ultimately decided I wasn't comfortable booking a treatment with a business that couldn't clearly confirm the specific dates and times I was requesting. UPDATE: 8/09/2026 -- In response to the owner's comment: Your response makes it clear that you did not fully understand my original review, which unfortunately reflects the same communication issue I experienced while trying to book an appointment. I went back and forth attempting to schedule for weeks and tried to book on three separate occasions. When I finally called and someone answered, there was a significant communication barrier, and the call ultimately ended with the person hanging up on me. You're correct that I've never received a service at your salon--but that is precisely the point of my review. I repeatedly tried to become a customer and was unable to successfully book an appointment. My review is about the customer service and booking experience I personally received. If your salon is so heavily booked that you are unable to accommodate new clients, I completely understand. However, potential clients should simply be told that upfront rather than spending weeks attempting to schedule an appointment that is never confirmed. Professionalism begins before a customer ever walks through the door, and unfortunately, my experience trying to become a client was enough for me to decide to take my business elsewhere.

Nonetheless, this place still gets the job done right. I walked in on a Sunday around 3:45 PM and, despite seeing about 3-4 people ahead of me, I was seated by 4:35 PM - not a bad wait at all! I opted for the wash, cut, and blowout, which came out to a total of $35. I was finished by 5:05 PM, so the service was quick and efficient. (You can call ahead and make an appointment as well). They also let you check the front and back of the hair with a mirror to make sure you like it. Open on Saturdays and Sunday - so perfect for those who are busy/don't have time on the weekdays and need something quick. A heads up: they only accept cash or Zelle, so come prepared. Street parking is available. Overall, If you want a simple, straightforward, budget-friendly haircut without the fancy extras, this salon is a solid choice.

We just moved into Houston from suburbs. I needed a change with color and my daughter needed to get a pixie type cut because she'd been cast as Peter Pan in her high school musical. We heard Shampu was a good salon nearby and that Steven is a skilled stylist who could handle both of our needs. Steven was amazing. He was friendly, accommodating, and listened intently to what we were wanting and went above and beyond. My 15 year old daughter (hard to please) and I left really happy! Steven used a new technique on my hair to "extend" my roots so my roots won't be so obvious when my hair grows out. I was impressed at both the innovative technique, but also that several stylists came over to watch the technique and ask Steven questions regarding the styling. It was obvious this is a salon with both skilled stylists, but also those stylists are interested in keeping up with the newest procedures in hair color/styling. My daughter came in with longer hair, past the shoulders, and needed a very short, pixie like hair cut. Steven truly excelled in this area. He got the vision immediately; understood it is for a particular acting role. He not only cut it well, but texturized it and made it so that it is super easy to fix every morning. My daughter absolutely loves it and it looks so good on her. Steven at Shampu Salon are top notch. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up from us!!! We will absolutely continue to go this salon regularly. read more

I have been seeing Jennifer Jeon for haircuts and balayage for the past 5 years. I actually followed her to Shampu from the last salon she was working at... She is that great! She is always very attentive to what I want and always makes great recommendations on what to do with my hair if I have questions. I'm a busy doctor and I saw Jennifer all throughout medical school. She has always been very mindful to make my cuts and balayage low maintenance so my hair still looks good between appointments if I get too busy to come in. I wouldn't trust anyone else in Houston with my hair! read more

I totaled my car in a snowstorm outside Boston at the start of March, an accident, not a choice, not something I scheduled around a hair appointment for fun. While I was busy figuring out how to get to a meeting in Minneapolis and my car 3,000 miles home, a hair appointment didn't fit into that equation on any level. I didn't get my usual reminder text before the appointment, like I always do so that at least I would've had a reminder to let them know what happened to me. I did get a voicemail DAY OF, half of which transcribed before cutting off, a name I didn't recognize, sounding exactly like the other 100 spam calls I get daily. I ignored it. Forgive me for not intuiting that it was salon-related while dealing with a totaled car in another state. When I finally went back in, I apologized, showed them photos of my car wrecked in snow, taken just days before the missed appointmen and still got handed a $98 cancellation FEE for an accident I didn't cause and couldn't have predicted. A lifetime of getting my hair done, never once missing an appointment without calling until that day, this was a first. Fine. I paid it anyway. I just wanted my hair done.Then my stylist informed me my red needed " to be evened out." My hair was the same red it had always been, I have the photos. She did my hair less than a couple of months before this, the color I came in with that I liked. The ONLY instruction I gave was no brown. I left brown. Full brown, gray showing through, at closing time, with Casey telling me she would fix it.The blowout was its own insult. I started paying $15 extra for flat-iron because I travel and needed it to last, not because the blowout itself was ever the problem. I have years of photos proving she could do a smooth blowout with zero flat iron involved. This time, paying extra for the upgrade, I got a blowout that didn't survive three hours, it was a frizz bomb. From the time I started using the flat iron to make my blowout last for work is the time she forgot how to do blowouts. Checkout was $358, about $150 over my normal total, because the $98 fee got folded silently into the bill, and I tipped on the entire thing without realizing it. Let me be very clear: I will tip generously on service. I will not, ever, knowingly tip on a FEE charged to me because of a car accident that wasn't my fault. There was no service in that FEE. There was no styling, no skill, no time in the chair, just a charge for missing an appointment I forgot about while dealing with a totaled vehicle 3,000 miles from home. When I called to ask for that specific gratuity be refunded, not the fee, just the tip stacked on top of it, I was told the stylist "gets the fee and the tip," like I was trying to take money out of her pocket. I wasn't. I was correcting an honest mistake on a bill I wasn't paying close attention to after a stressful, exhausting day. Their response was to call back and inform me they no longer wanted me as a customer. When I texted asking if my color could at least be corrected, I was met with silence. My hair is brown at this very minute trying to figure out how to come up with $200 more to fix the problem they created.And then my sister went in. I didn't warn her off, she'd had a hard time finding a stylist and didn't want to lose her appointment, and that's her call to make. Casey, the stylist, told her that her hair was greasy, hair that is dry, porous, and curly, and has never been oily a minute in its life. Along the way, the stylist told her she needed to brush her hair, as if she just rolled out of bed and came into the salon. It didn't need to be brushed, her hair is DRY, PORUS and CURLY, not unbrushed. Proceeding to her own color, my sister tried to explain what she actually wanted, light brown hair but while reiterating that to make sure it was done, Casey sneered, 'Is this going to be a Nickolle thing?' Keep my name out of your mouth. You don't get to talk about me like that while taking $400 from my sister. ANYWAY. The result: my sister wanted lighter. She left darker, with at least three colors woven in including the purple she specifically paid to have removed, and gray still very much present and accounted for. $400, and somehow the hair went the opposite direction of every single thing she asked for. They offered to let her come back in and put a small amount of highlights. As if, she's not letting anybody from that salon touch her hair ever again. Free or not. No thanks.Two appointments, two completely botched results, and a staff that responds to legitimate complaints by firing the customer instead of fixing the work. Disgusting.

I went in on a Saturday to make my appointment specifically with Odilia for the following Wednesday. Fortunately, I was able to briefly speak with her to discuss what I wanted - highlights [3 colours] and a good haircut; she told me her prices for each and, being in line with what I've paid in the past, solidified the appointment. I arrived at 11:30 am. We took a few minutes to discuss what I wanted, both in colour and cut. I repeated that I wanted highlights and that I usually have three colours used; I showed her two different pictures of my own hair colour for reference. Odilia commented, "You really like your golden blonde." (see profile photo) Was told that I would be out of there in "three hours, tops" (sounds about right - I have lot of hair). Odilia comes out with two tubs of colour - a highlight and a lowlight. I never asked for a lowlight, but this is not my profession and maybe she sees something I don't. This was a very slow process. Literally. I have never in my life had the back of my hair finish processing and be rinsed before the rest of my hair is processed under a dryer. When the colouring is complete, there is cutting. A lot of cutting. More cutting than I requested, but my hair grows fast and it's really not a big deal. And, in all honesty, it is a good healthy cut. FIVE HOURS + LATER (yes, you read that correctly) and nearly $400 lighter - I walk out with taupe / light brown hair. Not even close to what I asked for when I walked in. And I was charged for lowlights, something I never requested. Salon lighting is always different than home lighting, so I thought maybe it wasn't really as dark as it appeared. Nope, it was. I immediately called the salon and spoke with Odilia, explaining that nobody's happy and this isn't going to work. Giving credit where credit is due - she offered to correct it immediately, but my time constraints did not allow for me to return for two weeks. During this time, girlfriends said the colour was beautiful (honestly, it was)...but definitely not "my" colour. While many of you may have had, or continue to have, a positive experience at this salon - I did not.
