Helen and Joanne are amazing stylists!! Both are amazing and very professional. Pricing is always good and reasonable so I always make sure to tip generously! Overall a great establishment and I will go here for many years to come! read more

EDITED from 1 to 4 stars: The owner, Mrs. Julia, personally called to apologize and refunded me $30 to help rectify the situation. I was informed that the hairdressers are contracted out. Therefore, I would recommend going over pricing before sitting in a chair so you're not surprised when it's time to pay for services. I really appreciate Mrs. Julia's sincerity and customer service. ------------------- I went to this salon based off of reviews and service prices listed online. The establishment was nice and clean on the inside, there were only two hairdressers working with the rest of the chairs sitting empty. The original hairdresser I had booked with had a migraine and called out, so I was rescheduled with Helen. She cut my both children's hair. Both of my girls had trims only - maybe an inch a piece on dry, clean hair. That's it. No wash, no dry, no curl or style. Just trims. Based off the pricing online, I was expecting to pay maybe $20 per child (online said kids cuts are $13 and up). They charged me $100! For two trims! When I asked the front desk receptionist about the high prices, she verified with me that they had not received any additional services that would make the price increase that much, stated that she didn't believe the website had been updated in a while & that basically the hairdresser set those prices and there was nothing she could do about it. She was sweet and kept apologizing but I highly recommend you take your business elsewhere. The prices are outrageous and it's basically a "well, that's just how it is" attitude. I expect more out of a Sugar Land business. Very disappointed. read more

Helen is great. She can assess the condition of your hair well and will listen to you and discuss options . I was looking for a stylist for almost 2 years and finally found one. I will be going back read more

I had been here once before trying to grow my hair out. That time I got a trim and it was fine. Today I decided I didn't have the patience to grow it and went in for a pixie. 1) I showed my stylist 4 pictures (all similar to each other). 2) I showed her how I wanted the back to look 3) I had the 4 pictures in view the entire time, leaving the display on without a timeout and the phone propped up. What I got was 1 - 2 inch hair. Then I mentioned it was not like the pictures at all and way shorter, she added a bunch of gel and spiked it up. She said she didn't realize I wanted my hair like the pictures. Why would I have them in full view and go through them with her first if I didn't want my hair like them. I got a few funny looks when I went to pay, it was all I could do not to cry. She kept saying it looked cute. I can assure you it did not. read more

Helen was so patient and on point with my requests for my hair and the front desk was very friendly! I loved the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere! read more

Overpriced, and not good at all. The lady didn't ask any questions, just started, put bleach on my very short hair, in fact it caused a chemical burn on my scalp. I would not recommend this place. read more

Helen does a great cut and style! I'm over 40, this was a great atmosphere for me! Would recommend! read more

Hi, I don't usually leave reviews, but I had to leave one after my recent experience. I don't know if this is a family-owned business, but some of the hairstylists are terrible people. They are so rude. For example, Angie, one of the hairstylists, was so rude to the receptionist in the front. She was making fun of her in front of the whole store, and this has happened a few times. It's so immature and nasty. That poor little girl! This isn't even the only disrespectful hairstylist in the store. It's so ugly, and it needs to change! read more

Thank you Helen for the cut and color. Exactly what I wanted! See you next month. Hi read more

So, lets talk about Helen! She is so sweet, and wonderful at what she does. I came in, and I've never been here before, I was between highlights. Today I had family photos, and needed a quick brighten and she rocked it! She looked at his work and made it seamless. My blowout was beautiful and she let me study (PhD student) in quiet while she made me beautiful. I will be back to see her, not only for excellent work but her sweet company. read more

Strands Salon - Great highlights! - Hair Salons Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

First time customer and I recently called in for a trim, did a wash, and blow dry and the work was okay but with all due respect the vibe, and the hair stylists were really rude to each other and I heard really nasty things being said about one another. I find it really inappropriate that the hair stylist are SO comfortable speaking that way around clients. It was uncomfortable. read more

I have taken my daughter here twice (at 4 years old and 5) and they've done a great job each time. Perfectly blended layers of cuts.

Got balyage and a haircut from Joann, she's awesome. Took her time and did a great job. I'll be back!

Helen made a world of difference for my hair. She is the first lady that cut my hair right! I usually have my own go-to haitslystlists in Vegas/home. I don't visit often enough to get haircuts there, and I'm glad I've found her at Strands which is close to to my mom's business. She listened to my needs, and was very helpful when I asked for more layers on the ends of my hair. She is very kind, and approachable. We also had nice conversations, it felt as if I've known her for a very long time. I'm starting to like shorter length hair even more. It's weightless, voluminous, and looks very healthy after Helen cut my hair with scissors instead of razor cut layers like other hairstylists. I'm loving the natural cut layers that falls on my shoulders. I had V-shaped layers for a long time. I was too lazy to get haircuts, and it still kept a nice style even after it grows all the way down to my lower back. The bad part is that my hair started to shed easily without brushing. I had to be very careful with my hair, and I wouldn't let anyone touch it besides my hairstylists. After Helen cut my hair, I felt relieved. I'm excited with my new haircut. It's a lot shorter, I get to be lazy again, and have even more time to let my hair grow out to my desire length. I wouldn't need a haircut until next year. That's a plus! Thank you Helen, you are my new favorite! read more

This was my first visit to Strands. Upon entering I was very pleased with the comforted feeling. The receptionist was welcoming and pleasant. Fariba took me back for my shampoo and haircut. She listened and heard all that I asked for, I couldn't be more pleased with how my hair felt and looked . She is a awesome haircutter/stylist and has a wonderful personality. I have finally found my permanent salon and stylist. I just pray Fariba never leaves! Thank you so much Strands and Fariba you guys are amazing!! read more

Overpriced for the location and services. $75 for a haircut- could've gone to a much swankier place

I was looking for a hair salon that I can go to for a haircut and Keratin blowout in Yelp. Strands replied first and after reading several reviews, I set an appointment with them. I'm quite pleased with the work that Ms Helen did. I will be coming back for my highlights next. Thanks, Ms Helen! read more

First picture is after I paid $225 for a cut and color that she only spent 2 hours on including the blowout (but she didn't fix my hair after she dried it). The second is after Yolanda "fixed" it because as she said "her boss told her she had to." The last is what I showed her I wanted. As for the cut I asked her to trim the dead ends off and she cut 4-5 inches off. I know my hair is still long but I went from way past my bra line to I can't even put it in a bun because the shortest layers just stick out everywhere. It makes me sick to think how long it will take to grow back out to the length I like. I didn't post a review for a long time because I feel bad to mess with someone's livelihood but if she cared she wouldn't have let me walk out like that. Twice. And maybe this will keep it from happening to someone else. Owner was nice about asking her to fix it but never followed up or offered me any discount or anything. Reply to comment: Not ONE person has told me my hair looks great I am not sure what the owner is talking about. They all say oh honey I'm so sorry. You can obviously see the huge yellow/brassy stripes in my hair. I could have probably gotten better results with an at home highlight kit and saved about $200. Besides the length. And I did not say I have anxiety I said that my hair was the one thing about myself that I always felt really great about and now it makes me want to cry every time I look at it or when I run my fingers through it and the length stops way before I expect it to! read more

EDIT: I never demanded free service and I have all the screenshots to prove it, so you can try and make it seem like I threatened you for free service all you want, the proof is right there. I asked to be reimbursed because you were being unprofessional and rude and stated "my hair looked fine" when it wasn't, so of course how I reacted wasn't going to remain the way I originally approached you. I was never a difficult customer, but the owner to this business is more worried about her Yelp reputation and stylists than she is her clients, which she continuously keeps proving to me. I will be providing screenshots of my conversation with the owner below. All I wanted was for the terrible highlight job to be corrected, but I was greeted with the attitude and response that "my hair looked great, why am I complaining?" Is this seriously how a business owner responds to a complaint? I NEVER said all I was going to pay for were highlights. I NEVER EVEN WANTED HIGHLIGHTS, but Helen was EXTREMELY PERSISTENT that I get highlights rather than what I wanted and because this is her profession, I trusted her. The price didn't matter, that's exactly what I told her and you. My boyfriend would have paid for whatever I wanted. Anyone coming to this location, please beware. If they mess up your hair, they are going to make it seem like it's your fault and tell you "it doesn't even look bad" when CLEARLY you can see what is wrong with my hair in pictures. AS STATED BEFORE, my hair looks okay when it is all down, but once you lift it, you can see the monstrosity underneath which can also be seen in the pictures I've posted. Maybe you need glasses, Julia, so you can see the HORRIBLE work done to my hair. I tipped Helen because I'm not an asshole and despite it being a bad job, Helen did a lot of work, so sorry for being a nice person. How childish was it to compare hair service to an ice cream shop? Trying to use the fact that I have reviewed other businesses with one star against me is just plain adolescent and petty. Are we in high school again? I didn't think so. Since you have enough time on your hands to stalk my activity on Yelp, did you have a chance to see the businesses I gave 5 stars? Their service and products were stellar and above my expectations which, unfortunately, I can't say for your business. It's okay, not everyone has the mental capability to comprehend when they are in the wrong. Arguing with such people leads to no where. Let me tell you how this should have been handled. Instead of hiding behind the phone, YOU should have been present when I returned to YOUR business to receive my correction. YOU should have checked my hair. YOU should have questioned Helen why she let me walk out of YOUR business with my hair looking the way it did. YOU should have apologized for Helen's mistake or hell, at least Helen should have. I understand no one is perfect, matter not how many years they've had to hone their skills, everyone makes mistakes and I try to be an understanding consumer, but y'all are wild. I should have just gone to Visible Changes like I normally do, at least they get the job done right the first time with stylists that have less than 20+ years of experience. Lesson definitely learned. I decided to choose this business solely based on their yelp reviews. Everyone was extremely nice and had excellent customer service, but I am giving two stars based on the work that was done to my hair. I am a customer that will try something out for a day before I make a decision because yesterday I was pretty upset, but I didn't act upon my emotions, instead I slept on it. I woke up this morning and I was doing my hair for work. I work in the heat, so I usually do a half updo and the "highlights" that were done yesterday do not look good. I asked for a solid color, but my stylist, Helen, INSISTED that I get highlights. I trusted her.... My hair only looks good when it is all down, but when you separate it, you can see the blotches and harsh lines. I showed her a few spots where the harsh lines could be seen and she "corrected" it, adding more time to my appointment, but I am not a fan of the correction, either. I am not satisfied at all, actually... For the price I paid, I would have expected much better and to top it off, I am going on vacation in 3 days and what am I supposed to do? Keep my hair down every single day while I am in Florida? I am so disappointed. I decided to give this business a chance to correct their mistake as the owner reached out to me and I am attempting to be a civil as I possibly can. The added pictures are what this location calls a "correction." My heart is so broken as my vacation nears and my hair still looks horrible..... read more

We tried Strands for 2 kids hair cuts (ages 10 and 8). My girls went for shorter cuts and were serviced by JoAnn. They asked for a pixie and a shaggy cut, and got styles slightly different but still flattering. I was charged $90 total for 2 kids haircuts. The Strands website says $13 for kids and $30 for younger teen. Maybe an age range should be added so there's more clarity about pricing. read more

Had a great experience here! Booked my appt the previous day on Yelp, which is very convenient. Communication was amazing, & I was able to confirm within minutes. The place looks aged from the outside, but the inside is beautifully decorated. Everyone was very friendly, and I was very impressed with the service. Nice scalp massage during wash, quick cut, and a beautiful blow dry/style. I cannot remember my stylist's name, but she was amazing! I fell asleep in her chair haha I highly recommend this salon! read more

Helen at Strands has been amazing to me and my hair. She has helped me lighten years of brown dark home hair dye when other salons would only be brave enough to do patchy highlights that resulted in copper color. She has listened to my requests and long term desires and always is sweet and professional. The outcome of my last 4 visits has always been exactly what I asked for and beyond my expectations. From the front desk to the back area the Strands employees are personable and professional I highly recommend Helen and this salon. read more

Helen was great! She was very kind and did my hair just as I wanted it. I definitely plan to be a regular!

They originally did not have any appointments for my requested date which was fine since I contacted them last minute, but they were able to squeeze me in since I was just passing through and leaving town in a couple days. I got there a few mins before my appointment and Helen was a little late but her process and service made up for it. I previously had 3-4 curl perms at my normal salon but I was looking to straighten my hair back and get a trim. I got the keratin express treatment. I had a wash and cut, along with the treatment and my hair came out amazing. Helen was very meticulous and took her time with my cut, blow dry, and straightening. I have never been more satisfied with a haircut from a salon. I was told to wash my hair in 3 days and blow dry. When I washed my hair, it still came out a bit wavy from my old curl perm and I didn't have a blow dryer to straighten as I'm in the middle of moving but my hair has looked and felt healthier than ever which is more important to me. I will definitely be going back to Helen whenever I visit family in the area. read more

I highly recommend Yolanda De Simone . She's the best very professional and super friendly. She's always good in listening to what I want and my cut and color always turn out the way I want it. She's the most caring chemical Specialist I have ever met. read more

I booked my apt a few hours beforehand using Yelps feature. They replied super quick! Yolanda took care of my cut. I had about 4 in of dead ends or split ends that needed to be cut. I ended up with a shoulder length bob. Although i love my hair long it needed it to be healthy again. I loved Yolanda because she asked questions to make sure i would love the cut. Did i want it all one length or layered? Did i want a frame? She is very knowledgeable and caring, she did a great job. I'm going to her for my coloring next month. read more

I made an apt through the yelp app and had made a detailed request to get a hair perm. I confirmed the spot for Friday and when I showed up, the stylist explained that she couldn't see me because apparently I was scheduled for a hair cut and blow dry. I understood and went ahead and scheduled for the next day. My stylist was pretty great, she stayed after closing time that day and did everything very carefully. There are some parts that the curls didn't really hold but it's ok it's not so noticeable. If it wasn't for the mis-scheduling I'd give the rating 5 stars. read more

I have been client of Strands for many years. I have always been treated as a special guest by the entire staff. Jo Ann is my stylist, and she is great! Julia, the owner, is always so gracious and interested in helping you. If there were a 10 star rating, I would give it to Strands. read more

Got my hair done today. I showed the stylist a photo of the balayage that I wanted. It looked nowhere near the photo. It was patches of blonde and horizontal brown lines at the crown of the head and roots. Very patchy. The hair stylist should have told me she doesn't know how to do a balayage instead of me spending my time there. I made her redo it by adding more brown to the top, but instead she did an all over brown color. She charged me the price of the balayage. I told her to just charge me for the one color instead, but she didn't. She didn't even finish straightening my hair because she had another client too. I spoke to Julia the manager to see if I could get a portion of my money back since I don't even have a balayage. She was very unprofessional and was laughing at me. She accused me of lying. She refused to give me a portion of the money back. She said that the salon doesn't do refunds. Save your money and spend it somewhere more professional and where stylist are up-to-date with hair styles. The owner/manager, Julia, is very rude. Good you have on camera that my hair is one color of brown and not a balayage. read more

Yolanda is the BEST! Nobody does highlights and texture cuts better than her. I do not trust ANYONE but Yolanda to do my color- she's a MASTER of foils. She's so kind and always finds a way to squeeze me in. I've been going to Yolanda for years and would never go to anyone but her. This salon is so clean, modern and everyone is so nice. Great gal that works the front desk too. Thank you for all you do, Yolanda!!!! I can't say enough! read more

When Yolanda finished with my hair, it looked like a Pantene commercial I kid you not. This place is the real deal! The prices are around what you'd expect from a high quality hair salon but without making you broke...and they've earned every penny! read more

I had a really great experience at this salon a couple weeks ago. I was immediately greeted by the receptionist who offered me something to drink with a friendly smile. The salon had a very nice decor and was very clean. I did not have to wait and was greeted by my stylist at my appointment time. Be sure to ask for Yolanda de Simone, she was my stylist! She was very attentive and carefully listened as I shared what it was I was wanting for my new color and cut. She also discussed a few ideas as to what would go well with me and we came to a decision. She is a great and friendly stylist with many years of experience. I absolutely loved my caramel colored highlights and my new shag haircut!!! read more
