Great color- until your blondes aren't toned the same…read more This was my third time getting color done with Amanda and my first cut. I emailed a photo that I wanted when I scheduled the appointment 6 weeks before. To be clear- I didn't want the brunette darker. She didn't copy the highlight placement beyond the front piece which I already had. How these haircuts even look similar to her is beyond me- I wanted those bangs and I got late 90s wisps. I asked for a gentle taper to the back but got a straight cut that looks more damaged than before. After 4 hours in the chair I wasn't about to waste anymore time asking for something she clearly couldn't deliver. If you don't want to rearrange all your plans to get your hair fixed by someone else, don't book here.

Every detail felt intentional and relaxing. The treatments were even better than expected, and Ashleigh, my masseuse, has angel hands. One of the best massages I've ever had. I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. I cannot recommend this spa enough -- I will absolutely be back.

This spa is beautifully decorated with many amenities to make it a relaxing experience. There are…read morelarge waiting areas in different areas that are decorated in calm, neutral colors with plenty of seating. Light snacks, like cranberries and nuts are provided along with hot tea options, and citrus flavored water. The space is very nice. There are locker rooms with plush spa robes and complementary slippers. The locker room has two steam showers if you want to wash yourself after your massage. They also provide hair products to try as well as a Dyson hair dryer. I was definitely very impressed with the luxurious feel of the spa, however, was turned off by the receptionist who checked me in - her robotic, transactional nature was starkly juxtaposed against the warmth of the spa. I noticed she was the same with all customers so it wasn't personal but interaction with her was unsettling. I booked the 60min signature hydrafacial and the esthetician was welcoming and willingly customized my facial based on my requests. No major issues encountered but I noticed we started 10 minutes late and ended 10 minutes early so I thought marketing it as a 60min experience was a bit misleading. Also note the 60min Signature Hydrafacial does not include any hand/neck massages nor boosters nor light therapy so the $285 price was much more expensive than my usual spa. I will not return for another facial but may try massage in the future. We also booked pedicures and again the space is beautiful!! We were given a palette to select colors and the ladies were extremely friendly! My toes came out adorable! I found the seating to be very uncomfortable for a short person despite many pillows placed behind me for support so I honestly struggled to enjoy the experience but the space was very nicely decorated and clean looking. We were offered tea and snacks at the beginning as well. Overall, this was a very nice spa. I found it fairly expensive and overpriced, but I recognize beautiful spaces have a cost and that's what I should've expected in the River Oaks area. There is complementary validated parking!

I had a really bad experience with my recent haircut that had me in tears on the chair at the…read moresalon- and then was told that I did not know what bangs were supposed to look like (even though I've had fringe bangs in the past)- I normally travel further away for my original hair stylist but decided to try a haircut from here for the first time as I had gotten my hair toned it and liked it- I asked for a wispy fringe that I've had multiple times in the past (I showed the hair stylist with pictures of me with bangs in the past). She told me she could do what I showed and I trusted her- she unfortunately ended up cutting an extremely thick fringe that was blunt and extremely short/uneven (pictures posted). I told her I didn't like it as it was choppy and extremely think but was told that I just "didn't understand bangs" and she continued to cut until I asked her to just stop because it just kept getting worse. I ended up having to go to my original hair stylist the next day to see if he could salvage what she had done (which he unfortunately could not). I now have an important event in one week and have a bad haircut I am trying to figure out how to hide. On top of that; there was no apology or acknowledgement other than being told that it was just me not understanding. I had to pay $145 only to go get this mess fixed. Just beware of the stylists when it comes to hair cuts here because I am traumatized and will never be coming back to a cut again. I have pictures for reference as well.

Beautiful new salon. The salon gives Bohemian vibes, which is an instant relaxation for me. I…read morearrived in the evening for a hair consultation. I gave the run down of my hair history to Eason so he can give me his expertise on hair care and treatment. We talked about what my hair goals are and recommended me on colors and products for my hair. The consultation took about 15-20 minutes. Eason then proceeded to book my appointment and give me an estimate of what my cost will be. I love this because I hate surprises. People may complain about the cost of doing hair is expensive, but you get what you pay for. During the whole processes of coloring my hair, Eason and his team would check on me to see how I am doing. Sitting in a chair for hours can be exhausting but trust the process! I left the salon feeling a brand-new woman. If you are looking for a new salon, don't skip Salon Per Se. Thank you, Eason for helping me gain my confidence back! The have another location in Bellaire if the Heights is too far for you.

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!

She then proceeded to sit her down and lecture her about being late and was just overall being passive aggressive with her, before I came in. When we left, my little sister started to cry.

I had read online that Marina was a curl expert, so I booked an appointment with her. The experience was fantastic---It's safe to say she is definitely an expert! Our discussion was pleasant and informative, and she was easily able to answer all my questions. She helped me decide on a style I'm very happy with and recommended some great products that have helped me maintain the look at home. I'll definitely be coming back! TLDR - if you're looking for a great overall haircut experience, especially you've got/want curly hair, I highly recommend Salon Vive and Marina!

I am saddened to write this review, honestly. I have been coming to this salon for over 3 years…read more The stylist that I had been seeing left and when she did, the salon sent me an email letting me know this and offering 30% off and a free treatment. There was no expiration date, it just says "next service". So while I was planning on finding another salon initially, I was pulled in by the offer, plus the stylist that would have done my hair is very nice and I was familiar with her. Seemed like a win win. However, upon checking in, I decided to ask about the email and I was told that it no longer applied. I was offered 10% off, then 15%. While that is nice, that is not what was emailed to me. I mean to be fair, I didn't ask them for a discount, they emailed ME. So I left, then came back to show the lady the email, so she knew I was not making this up lol. She then said ok fine we can do it at 30% off, but the vibe felt off by then. It was awkward for me, which is 100% my problem, but I kind of felt like I would be begging for a discount...that was offered to me before I got there lol. Anyway, I decided to just leave and with that, I am no longer a client at this salon. There are so many places to go in Houston, I'd rather spend my money at a place that honors their word without prompting. Note: it wasn't until I said that I would be updating my Yelp review that they could suddenly do the 30% off. The stylists here are really nice and the salon itself is nice too, but this threw me off.
