I'm picky and I don't trust everyone with my hair, but Bunmi washed, cut and styled my hair and did an amazing job!! My mom came to Houston to visit for Thanksgiving and wanted a color, cut and style, so I took her to Studio A to see Bunmi. Another amazing job and satisfied customer. She's got my vote! read more

Davis is truly an artist! He did an amazing balayage + ombre on my hair and it looks great!! Bummi cut my hair and she also did great job. They both made me feel comfortable before and throughout the whole process by asking me a lot of questions to capture what I wanted. David gave me the beautiful color that I was looking for. He also gives great advice for hair color and hair care. Like many of us, I dreamt of those beautiful hair colors you see on Pinterest and I got what I wanted! Thanks David, you are the best! Customer service at the salon was excellent and before I Ieft I was sure to book my next appointment. read more

Studio A Salon - Before and After. My hair was virgin before, thanks David I love it! Thanks Bummi for the great Hair cut ! - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I now understand the need for a quality salon in my life. I started coming to Studio A Salon about a year ago now and my hair has never looked or felt better. They pay attention and know exactly what your hair needs! Jesse does a phenomenal job with hair and makeup. When he suggested a classic bob - a hair cut of about 4 inches - I didn't even flinch. I trust him with my haircuts and hair and makeup for photo shoots and theme parties. Definitely recommend! read more

The talent that David posses is undeniable. He is not only a genius at what he does but he listens to your needs and concerns. His honest and creative approach to your hair is refreshing. I came in with concerns of thinning hair. We had a consultation and together we decided what would be best. I trusted him because of his extensive knowledge and experience with extensions. The best thing I ever did was to listen to him and trust his opinion and vision. Thank you David. Highly, highly, highly recommended. read more

The Salon is very nice, high end feeling and clean. I recently had an issue with them not contacting me to confirm an appointment and inform me that my hairstylist doesn't work in there anymore but David the owner got in touch with me immediately he hear of the issue, he explained the situation, apologized, offered solutions, a free treatment and discount. This is what a real caring business owner should be. Thank you David. read more

I saw Bryan for a haircut and face-framing highlights in July. He did a great job chopping 10 inches off but I wasn't totally satisfied with the color of the highlights. I have medium brown hair and the highlights ended up being more of a yellow/brassy tone, which I'm not a fan of because it clashes with my olive skin tone. I walked away a bit disappointed with the color after paying $190. I decided to return 3 days later to get a free toner after calling to express my dissatisfaction, which I appreciated. It was during that appointment that I explained to Bryan that I wanted to add a little more highlights and go a bit brighter but ashier. He explained that because the face-framing highlights were more balayage and not actual color (with foils), I'd have to come back another time to do that. Fine, was totally ok with that. I got the toner done and scheduled an appointment for the first week of August to get the color. When I arrived for my second session with Bryan, I was a bit nervous because I wasn't sure how things would turn out after the first appointment but I had enough confidence in Bryan to go through with it. He mentioned that after I first came in, so many customers came in asking for the same look (short hair and face-framing highlights) and said they were probably inspired by Dua Lipa. When he said that, I laughed and said that I thought her highlights were too extreme and that's not the look I was going for. I provided a picture of the look I wanted to achieve but the end result was not what I was expecting. I didn't want to hurt his feelings by asking him to redo it after sitting there for over 3 hours. I felt I looked like Dua Lipa :(. After paying $230, I left dissatisfied again. I thought I could maybe live with the color until I saw some friends the following weekend (who are loyal Studio A customers) and they recommended I go back to get a color correction immediately. I called the studio and explained my situation and they said I would be able to come in for a free color correction with the same stylist. I would be charged the full-service fee if I saw a different stylist. I scheduled the appointment to get it corrected with Bryan. The next day, the studio notified me that because it had been too long since my last appointment (9 days), the service wouldn't be considered a color correction but an additional color service and I would be charged for it ($65-$130). Needless to say, I was disappointed to hear that after I was initially told I wouldn't be charged for the color correction. I tried to negotiate a free toner after providing pics of my hair but to no avail. They said I would be charged $65 for a toner. Mind you, I've gotten a toner done for much less at other places. After paying $400+, I really expected this studio to be more accomodating. I was willing to work with Bryan again to achieve the desired result. It's my understanding stylists appreciate your honest opinion and the opportunity to correct anything a customer is dissatisfied with because that's how they hone their craft, and in doing so, it prevents customers from leaving a bad review online. He really is a pleasant guy to work with and again, the haircut was great...the color not so much. Albeit, I should have expressed my dissatisfaction sooner rather than later the second time around but I was really hoping Studio A would have been more understanding. At any rate, I won't be returning. read more

The worst customer service experience I have ever had at a hair salon. Went for hair color and they would not color it as they said it would not take but basically they did not want to take the extra time to do the extra necessary steps to get it where I wanted it. They took 15 minutes to give me negativity because they did not have the time for me AND for 15 minutes of their time they made me pay $50 consultation fee! Absolutely ridiculous! Totally will never go back or recommend this place. Jessie was the hair stylist and terrible customer service! read more

I went to Studio A to see Jessica. I had gone earlier in the week to a new salon on another side of town. I asked for an ombré balayage but they messed it up. Jessica was kind enough to get me through the rest of the week with a toner and conditioning treatment. Then fixed the disaster on the weekend. She was truly wonderful and it still came out great! Never will I stray again. Studio A and Jessica have my business from now on. read more

Studio A Salon - Ombré Balayage color correction by Jessica (photo by Jessica) - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I moved to Houston almost five years ago and have been trying different salons this whole time. I've finally found "the one" here with Dane! He gave me exactly what I asked for, was very particular, explained everything, and is pleasant to be around. I really like the atmosphere at the salon as well. read more

Hard to tell from the pic. I wanted some of the lightness out and Jess brought my natural color down throughout. Exactly what I asked for. And she's super chill and fun! Had an amazing experience. I'm impressed! Everyone is so sweet here! Awesome team. Highly recommend :) read more

Studio A Salon - Balayage touch-up. Thanks Jess, you're the bomb!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is a gem. Very small place. For a while I was scared that it is higher chance to get a COVID because it is so gem. I had an appointment with somebody who was NOT confident at her work. I really wanted something else and that person was forcing me to do what she was comfortable with. She didn't care what I wanted. Lack of ability were not professional at all. I will not recommended this place to anyone. Waste of time and money. read more

I'm very happy with my cut and Brazilian Blowout with Bunmi! I've had my hair cut and colored by her before, so I can say she gives consistently good work. If you are getting a Brazilian Blowout with the promotional price that is going on right now, be aware that this is different than a Brazilian Keratin treatment--you will need to blow dry your hair after each wash to make it straight. The results are shiny and smooth! read more

This is my third visit, and my hair has _never_ looked as good as it does now. My hair had gone grey and brown with grown-out highlights during the pandemic, and I wasn't sure what I wanted. Bryan suggested a couple of options and worked out a plan for color and a cut, followed by today's partial balayage. Bryan is friendly and funny, and he is also a wizard of balayage; my overall hair color is beyond what I'd hoped for - a medium blonde that is perfect for me. I love the cut, the color, and the texture of my hair now. Bryan is a fantastic stylist. read more

I have been going to Bunmi for a few months now, she is the best! She fixed my streaky highlights with gorgeous blonde balyage, and is the only person I trust to cut layers that don't make my hair look crazy. The salon is very nice - lots of light - and the shampoo chairs are super comfy. read more

David and his team are amazing, they're true hair geniuses. The salon is beautiful and they truly make you feel pampered. I've been going to Bunmi for years and I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else! read more

I'm obsessed with my hair. Dane did an amazing job and I recommend him and this Salon to everyone! read more

Studio A Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I absolutely love this salon! The salon itself is modern and beautiful, and it is always really clean which is extremely important to me. Bunmi is the best stylist I have had in a long time. She really cares about making her customers comfortable and happy. She takes the time to listen to what I want and always delivers! And when I don't know what I want she will go through all the options and give me great recommendations. My hair was a mess when I first went to Studio A, and it has since been saved. I love that Bunmi and the staff don't try to constantly push expensive services and products on me. Other salons have made me feel like a walking dollar sign, but at Studio A I feel like I am among friends. read more

Studio A Salon - Love my new hair! Thanks Bunmi! - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

This salon is top notch. A+ to David and his wonderful staff went out of their way to make my visit a pleasure. I was offered a nice selection of beverages. But the best part was the shampoo chair, which I did not want to get out of. The haircare line they used smelled amazing and left my hair shiny and super manageable. read more

This salon is very cute and sophisticated. The service gets a+. I felt comfortable and at homeZ I love the metastasis line products. Bunmi has revived my hair several times and takes a good look before jumping right into service. read more

I've been looking for a highly recommended colorist since I moved to the city, but I couldn't find anybody who knew someone in Houston, so I decided to let yelp doing the pick... big mistake. The local is cute, modern and a bit of fancy, it gives a luxury vibe that might explain the high prices, but now I think they're trying to compensate for the technique deficiencies. I can't complain about the staff, almost everyone was nice, this is why I wasn't sure about writing the review, but with every wash, my hair is worse and worse. I went there for a balayage and color correction, the ends of my hair were green from the remains of a blue dye, the rest of my hair was virgin, I was actually letting my natural color to grown but had this huge interview coming, so I needed to look nice... after 2 sessions and $700 spent I look like a Malibu plastic doll with a bad wig. My roots got orange after the first wash and the tips of my hair got green but this time from the ashy toner. I called the salon and they tried to correct it by covering the orange in the roots with a permanent hair color closer to my natural 6, but is getting orange again after a couple of weeks and whatever they did to correct the over toning broke my hair terribly, now I'm scared to even brush it. Since then I've spent more than $200 in products trying to restore it, but it seems I'll need to cut it very short if I want to stop looking like a scarecrow. PS: the word balayage has a french origin and comes from the movement is done with the brush while the product is applied in the hair. The technique they used with me is the same some people use at home to "refresh" the balayage when they have no time to go to the salon... and it got my hair all tangled. read more

I have had my hair colored and cut here, and Jesse always does a phenomenal job! The studio itself is beautifully decorated and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's on the higher end of what I'm used to paying for hair services, but I feel it is well worth it due to the quality. I highly recommend this salon! read more

Studio A Salon has been my hair home for over 2 years now and Bunmi has been my "it" girl for all things hair and makeup for over 4 years. I have thick, curly and hard to manage hair. Like most girls with this problem I tried everything at various salons around town and wasted way too much time searching for a fix. Then came Bunmi. She is very educated and dedicated and takes the time to think through all my crazy ideas, new trendy treatments I read about and frizzy hair frustrations and comes up with the perfect solution each time. Balayage, major or minor cuts, root touch-ups, Brazilian blowouts-you name it Bunmi has done it and done it well. She even cut 12 inches off and handled all the necessary steps to get my hair donated to Locks of Love. My next favorite part is the atmosphere. Bunmi and David work as a very professional and fun to be around team. I love to sit in the chair and hear them give each other tips, advice and support throughout my visit. Salon time is good for catching up on magazines, a nice chilled glass of champagne and the usual gossip, but it is always refreshing to hear professionals talk about their trade and perfecting each clients look. And the Lord and Berry lipstick liner and pencil is always in my purse! I am not a huge makeup girl but Bunmi offers easy and subtle ways to add a little something to my makeup game. All the products I have tried last a long time, are easy to apply and doesn't cake on. Lastly, the new space is AMAZING. I stood outside the front of it taking pictures from the street because I love it so much. And then you walk in and the experience gets better! The decor is magazine worthy! read more

Jesse G. is the best! I have been getting my hair cut and highlighted by him for a few years now. I have VERY thick hair that takes a long time to do. Jesse is the first stylist that I found who actually takes the time to do my hair properly, rather than rush through. He listens to exactly what I want and delivers above and beyond. I always leave the salon feeling like my hair looks so much healthier than before. He also has given me great tips and recommendations for hair care and styling at home. Since I started seeing Jessy I get a lot of questions about who colors my hair and some people even compliment it thinking it is my natural color. Beyond this Jesse and everyone else at StudioASalon is so friendly, welcoming and provide great service. I definitely recommend booking your next hair appointment here! read more

Original post is below the ********. This is an update (because Yelp is not letting me post a separate update since not enough time has passed or something). This is an update about the service here. I spoke with both Denise and the owner David. They were both very courteous and professional about the situation, which is much appreciated. I've had a pretty terrible experience with a hairdresser blaming me for having bad hair, and this was the complete opposite. I would like to mention though, based on the owner comment to my original review, that I was never told this would be a color correction, only that it wouldn't get as light as the pictures I brought in. I was refunded everything except the haircut and all over color, which is very fair. I can't give more than two stars though, because I really feel like this should not have happened in the first place and has left me with hair I cannot run my fingers through without them getting tangled/stuck, even after brushing. Maybe it was miscommunication that led to the horizontal lines in the virgin part of my hair, maybe it was a technique issue. But anyone can make a mistake, and the stylist did a great job fixing the color. My hair color right now is beautiful. So, to summarize: coming here with previously darkened hair wanting to go lighter may not be the best idea, and I am very sad that my once silky hair now feels like dry, tangly horse hair because it was bleached so much, but the service is really amazing. The location is great, interior is beautiful, all the people who work here are wonderful and so sweet. I just wish my hair had turned out right the first time. ******************************************************* Original Review: I don't even know what to say right now. Let me preface this by saying that everyone here is amazingly sweet and considerate. I didn't want to write this review even, but I have to. Also, I saw a couple clients leave with great hair. So I cannot understand what happened. I asked for a balayage, and my stylist and I talked about how it couldn't get as light as I was wanting because I had a brown artificial color in it already. That's fine. I wasn't expecting bright blonde. My hair ended up orange, which could have been okay - but there was just no blending. Looking through others' photos, balayage should blend. I showed the stylist pictures of what I wanted. I ended up with chunky, completely un-blended hair. There were horizontal lines in my hair, which you can see in the pictures I posted. The stylist said that if I added more balayage, it would blend. It was still chunky. These pictures are after the stylist tried to fix it a second time. The stylist kept telling me that it was the contrast between the light and dark that gave the illusion of stripey-ness, but it's clearly not just that. I was there from 2 PM until 11PM. An entire day gone. The stylist said that it could be fixed with more balayage, but if the first two times left un-blended, chunky lines of demarcation, I could not see how more balayage would fix it. I told her to just dye it back to my natural color (black) and honestly it ended up a really pretty dark ash brown color which I love. But it is extremely dry and damage. Good thing I have strong hair. It would've been okay. Except they charged me the full price for the messed up balayage (which the stylist admitted to messing up) as well as the dye/toner used to fix the mess!! I paid $370 to have hair that is not what I wanted, is extremely dry and damaged from so much bleach, and took 9 hours of my life to not get what I asked for. They could have at least not charged me for one of them - the messed up balayage or the repair work that was done. The stylist is a great, sweet, caring person. Everyone there is a great person. I really appreciate that they also stayed with me to fix things. I understand that a service was performed and products were used on me. But I did NOT get what I asked for. And I was charged for BOTH the mistake and the repair, which I cannot understand. *Editing to add: i also got a haircut, which is included in the $370 and is fine. read more

I've been coming to Studio A salon for a year. My daughter and I both see the owner, David. I have lived in Houston all my life and have been to many different salons before coming to Studio A.

From the ease of making the online appointment to the amazing hair coloring finished product.. I was in love with this salon. David and Jesse made me feel pampered and given the royal treatment.

Studio A Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had a 3:30p appt and arrived at 3:15p. First impression was good, the salon was clean, neat and had a luxurious feel. I was immediately greeted with a warm welcoming smile and a handshake. I was escorted to the back where I was able to hang my purse, if I chose to, and put on a smock. Then I was asked if I wanted anything to drink with options of water, soda, champagne or wine. I opted for a red wine and my glass seemed to always stay refilled, which was great for the kind of day I had before walking into the salon lol. So great initial experience that only got better when I met Bunmi, my stylist. She has such positive energy and we vibed the moment we met. She listened to what I wanted and gave helpful suggestions on how we can turn my damaged hair into the gorgeous healthy hair she knows I can have. After examining my hair and the consultation we began with the color, then a shampoo and conditioner with some great kerastase products, even a shine glaze. My cut was perfect and we had entertaining conversation the whole time. I also met the owner, David, and we were chatting with him and laughing in conversation with his client, and her hair was beautifully done as well. Next thing I knew my hair was perfectly blowdried and curled. I hated that the time went by so fast. That was the most fun I ever had in a hair salon. Everyone deserves a big round of applause. I even purchased some nice Lord & Berry cosmetics that are made in Italy and I'm loving the lip crayon. I checked out and booked my next 2 future appts. Everyone gave me a hug goodbye until we see each other again. Two thumbs up. read more

Had a lovely fresh cut yesterday with Angel Reyes! We took about 6 inches off & I'm back for a bayalage today! Such a great experience right when you step foot in. Everyone including David, the owner greets you happily. The salon is very chic, modern & comfortable. Best massage chairs at the washing area. I had such a great and pleasant experience with Angel as we sat and he explained his techniques and what cuts or select colors would suit me best and that's why I'm back! I recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh cut, color from wonderful professionals. read more

I had an appointment today which was scheduled 2 weeks ago. It was confirmed yesterday. I received a call 1 hour prior to my appointment stating it was cancelled. David was there but I could not have my scheduled time. I could wait until later or see another stylist. I would not recommend this salon. read more

If you're in Houston stop by Studio A Salon! They have amazing staff and THE most comfortable sink chairs possible. Everyone there cares about how your hair is going to turn out and I think that makes an amazing salon and amazing customer service. Bunmie corrected a terrible color I recieved (at another salon.). If you're ever in town for a long or short time this is a stop I would make. Talented people who care. read more

David was awesome and I had a great experience, But for someone from Louisiana like myself, I nearly had a heart attack when they told me what the total was, for a low light and a trim....$318.00! read more

I'm reviewing Studio A Salon a month after going to the Salon. I had had a string of haircuts I wasn't wild about and wanted a low maintenance color solution to lighten my hair. I was booked quickly with Yessenia "Yessie" and she spent almost 3 hours on my hair. I appreciated her dedication when my hair needed some TLC. We decided on a warm partial balayage which was reasonably priced. I added a haircut and trim as well. I might have been a little shocked seeing my hair initially, and sweet Yessie had another staff person helping her blowdry to get me out in time for a work meeting. I have to say, a month later, my color looks SO good. It was exactly what I wanted. It is subtle, but noticeably sunkissed. I don't live in Houston, but may have to come back for color! read more

David the owner is awesome. Best hilites/ color I've ever had. Nice,bright and welcoming salon. The other stylists are also very good. Not cheap, but you can't skimp on your hair which a big part of looking nice and put-together. read more

Amazing! I came here after another salon gave me a bad dye job and they were able to not only fix it but give me the color I originally wanted. I will definitely be going back. read more

Jessica is the best! She had taken me from being dark haired back up to blonde. She was really knowledgeable and honest about what bleaching my hair would do and worked with me on slowly taking me back to my desired color (which was a miracle). There very hospitable and attentive. The salons nice and neat with a modern vibe id def recommend visiting studio A! read more

I saw Lew this past week for a haircut. Honestly, it was a fantastic experience. It's clear that he knows what he's doing. He understood exactly was I was asking for. I couldn't be more pleased. Will be recommending him and Studio A to all of my friends. read more

Bunmi cut my hair today way shorter than I like or wanted. :-(. Very sad and I kinda hate it. I had extra long hair. I asked for 4" and showed with my hand. She responded with "I love long hair". She pointed at my back a couple of times during the session about the length. I was just trying to relax and trust her skills/ profession and not be the over controlling anxious client who tries to tell the stylist exactly how to cut hair. She cut a good 8"- 10" off. It is shoulder length now. Haven't had it cut this short 15 years. So disappointing and I hate this length on me. Can't fix it now. read more

Studio A Salon - Not happy with this hair cut after 8-10" gone with I asked for 4". I'll go back to using stylist who have 20 years experience. - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I am moving back to Houston after being in Chicago for the past four years and it was extremely important to me that I find an awesome salon to go to. Studio A Salon is just that! I loved the customer service and the people that work there. Making an appointment was a breeze; I did book it over the phone though. I made an appointment with Angel for a color and cut. Angel was amazing and listened to every single want and need I had. I came out looking like a whole new person but in a good way! He brought back the sunshine! Definitely visit Studio A Salon and ask for Angel. read more

I searched all over Houston trying to find a salon that I was happy with, and feel so fortunate to have found Studio A Salon. The salon decor is very modern and chic, but still gives off a very welcoming and cozy feel. My stylist is Jessica and I absolutely love her! She is always willing to give advice and truly cares about her clients. She also introduced me to balayage, and my color has never looked better. A few weeks ago I decided to get my hair cut a little shorter than I usually do, and I received a million compliments on how great the cut looked. I am so lucky to have a stylist like her! The rest of the staff is also really nice, and everyone is always so friendly while I am there. I highly recommend this salon and encourage you to book an appointment with Jessica! read more

Love my highlights and cut! Professional, relaxed environment! David is wonderful and makes me beautiful.
