I have visited 5 or 6 times (more if you count the old location) and worked with 3 or 4 of the…read morecurrent stylists. If nothing else, this location has worked its way into my rotation as a reliable GoodThing. The customer service is great. Booking an appointment couldn't be easier, especially once you are an established client. I hesitate to recommend Victoria and Cinthia ... because I'm not ready to hear that they are fully booked with no room for me LOL. Yeah, yeah, yeah, every stylist is trained to do all types of hair mmhm, riiight ... only, see, no one has worked with my hair longer than I have. I generally know what this hair will and won't do without a fight and also which product types are nonstarters. I don't micromanage; I just watch and notice who hears me versus who doesn't or can't deliver. In other words, I am a blow-dry bar stylist's worst nightmare. With all that as context, I say that not every stylist there is a winner, but I've had no difficulty avoiding the one stylist who has twice demonstrated the limits to their listening and/or styling skills. I read some of the 1-star reviews and have to laugh. You mad at the cancellation charge for the appointment you didn't keep but throw shade on how they treated your hair {some other time, presumably, which raises the question why you were trying to come back)? Uh huh. Idk - I've never had a problem cancelling, but then I don't cancel last minute. I call when I'm running late (bc 10+ min late counts as missing the appointment) and, if necessary, they work to reschedule me for later the same day - sometimes just 15min later to avoid triggering the cancellation penalty. For me, a 1-star rating would mean the place is (1) nasty dirty, (2) racist/___phobic/hateful vibes, (3) truly and routinely hazardous to my hair, (4) criminal, or some combination of (1) - (4). If I'm brutally honest, 5-star ratings from me are hella rare because no place is perfect. Call this an instance where the fifth star is my attempt to bring some balance to what strikes me as 1-star foolishness. So that's that. This is a good place. Just don't overbok the stylists who do me right LOL.

The shop is lively with girl talk and good old school r&b music playing in the back. It gives old school beauty shop vibes which I love. I came in on a Tuesday, which is a discounted silk press day. I added a trim also. Shay had my hair pressed in under an hour and a half. I love how my hair came out and the ladies were an excellent time to be around. They offer you a free drink of choice with your appointment and even gel eye bags when at the bowl. I had about two drinks before leaving and was feeling nice! The shop is decorated so cute with pink bubble chair, a lip shaped couch and overall girlie aesthetic. If you need a place to get a blow out or silk press on the fly choose here.

I understand that unexpected situations can happen, but leaving a client waiting for almost 45 minutes without any notice is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional.

I booked online but followed up on the phone because I had some questions. The woman I spoke with was friendly and helpful. Ongele was also very friendly and easy to talk to. She has a very chill vibe. I showed her photos of what I thought I would like, but made it clear that I wasn't looking for a big change at my first appointment. She completely agreed with me and said she preferred to get to know me first. This was definitely going in the right direction. We chatted while she cut my hair and then she gave me some pointers on drying and styling it and when she was done....OMG! It was exactly what I wanted - actually no - it was better than what I wanted! I literally couldn't have been happier. AND....I think I'll be able to reproduce the look at home, thanks to her instructions. I would highly recommend Ongele at Shine in the Heights!

I fell asleep a couple times and definitely woke myself up snoring LOL!! Everything about this felt like a five-star, red carpet experience!! From the hot towels on my face and arms to the gentle massage, just all of it. Super relaxing but still very intentional. What I really loved is that they don't just go through the motions. Han actually took time to explain scalp health, how to better care for my hair and how different conditions can affect your scalp. It felt both spa-like and educational. Also, they use Korean and Japanese products, which I personally loved. You can tell they really care about what they're doing. I thoroughly enjoyed this and will 100% be back.

What I noticed first was how well maintained and clean both the building the business is located in, as well as the PH spa unit is kept. There is a specially designed head spa table that is used that is highly functional and comfortable. Hong is very knowledgeable and made sure to do a thorough analysis of my daughter's scalp prior to beginning her treatment. To prevent my daughter from getting her shirt wet, Hong provided a special towel to wear instead of her shirt. After lying down, she offered my daughter a lavender scented or unscented eye mask to further the relaxation during treatment. She then began a series of treatments including the use of special brushes to massage the scalp, removing dead skin cells. That was followed by the use of a hair steam treatment, and a neck and arm massage was provided during that time. The treatment was completed with some heat damage prevention products prior to her blow drying. I loved how personable, knowledgeable, and professional the treatment went. We will definitely be back.

Before that they had told me that they were all booked up for the day I'll massages and but after getting my haircut they said you ready for your massage I said oh really wow yes that you're booked up. The massage table was very comfortable as well as the head cradle which is very important because at some places it is very uncomfortable and they prefer you to be in it I had no problem with this one. My massage therapist name was Skyler she was very peaceful and had made drifting off I think I fell asleep but I'm not sure was just very relaxed At the end she said take my time getting up which was much needed so I laid there about five minutes before I could.

I met Maddie by pure chance, and she got me in the very next day. What she did felt like magic transforming my hair from orange to the most beautiful, ashy tone. Since then, we've been on an incredible five-year hair journey together. Her talent with color and extensions is unmatched it honestly deserves to be studied. Not only did she bring my hair back to life, but she also took the time to educate me on how to properly care for it myself. Beyond her skill, Maddie is an amazing person. She's a true perfectionist and won't let you leave her chair unless she knows she's given you her absolute best. I even flew her out for my wedding because I trust no one else with my hair and at this point, she's so much more than my stylist. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!! She also does my wife's hair!
