Yvette makes you feel comfortable, is extremely professional and most importantly cuts hair very well!

I have natural super curly hair which can be challenging to cut and style. Luckily I've also known and been going to see Yvette for many years now and she does an amazing job every time with my curls read more

I've been coming here for years and have always had a fantastic hair cut. Yvette is extremely knowledgeable and talented. I highly recommend her. read more

Yvette is an amazing hair stylist! I am on a quest to go lighter and get the reddish tones out of my hair and she is getting me there without compromising the health of my hair. I have been there twice now and both times I've had the best haircuts of my life! She takes her time and I never feel rushed. The studio is relaxing and I always enjoy our conversations. She has very reasonable prices, too. I'm so glad I found this place! read more

I've been going to Yvette for my hair for a while now, and I honestly can't recommend her enough! She's not only incredibly talented at styling my hair--always knowing exactly what I want--but she's also the most personable and professional hairdresser I've ever had. Every visit feels like catching up with an old friend because Yvette always remembers what's going on in my life and takes the time to check in. It's such a warm, welcoming experience every time. I also love the family dynamic in her salon. Her adult son works alongside her as an assistant and store clerk, which gives the whole place such a nice, community feel. They make a great team, and it's clear they both care about their customers. If you're looking for someone who will make you feel at home and give you a fabulous hairstyle, Yvette is the one! read more

I booked a warm/cinnamon color balayage with Ivette. She was highly informative and cordial leading up to the appointment, making me feel in good hands. Ivette provided all the necessary details on how to get to the salon, what to expect, and the process of the hair change. She was super nice and we ended up taking almost 4 hours, she was quicker than I thought since I do have quite a bit of hair. The whole time I was comfortable and the conversation was easy and interesting. If you book with Ivette you her stories will have you entertained! The pricing was transparent from the start and was if I may say so super well-priced. Ivette is now my chosen hair expert and I will be coming back for my maintenance and whatever else I need for my hair needs. Quick note: I had virgin hair so I was a bit nervous on getting a balayage for the damage but Ivette is so knowledgeable and honest and my hair texture stayed the same I see absolutely no damage and my hair is still soft and the curls are intact :) read more

Yvette was amazing! She was running behind with her clients, but I never felt rushed while she was working on my hair. She gave my long thick hair some new life that it had been needing. read more

Yvette does an amazing job on color, cut, you name it! Been coming here for over 10 years, highly recommend. read more

Tabula Rasa - Highlight, Balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Alamo Heights, Texas

I have trusted Yvette with my hair color loyally and consistently for 8 years. After a lifetime of decent hairdressers I discovered Yvette; a true color specialist and artist. I am grateful for Tabula Rasa's ability to keep my hair color routine minimal while maintaining a natural look between visits (in my opinion). read more

5 star experience through and through. Yvette is amazing. I had several bad short cuts and was extremely nervous going to a new place. Yvette both texted and emailed me before the appointment to make sure she understood what my previous experience was, what I wanted to see, my hair goals, etc. I wrote her a whole novel and included several pictures. I actually felt guilty for giving her so much information, but she was very understanding and thankful that I did. She explained what she was going to do before she did anything and made sure I was comfortable with her process. I am so so grateful I found her. She's meticulous, professional, and has a great eye. Not to mention she's just an excellent human being. I'm very lucky! I took myself out to eat after our appointment and got so many compliments on my hair! Thank you thank you for fixing my hair and making me feel seen and heard. read more

This is my Dianna Jr's first major hair style and so there was no way I could have trusted anyone other than my Yvette Salazar @ Tabula Rasa with her hair! Thank you for taking good care of our newly minted teen, giving her a very flattering age appropriate cut, and setting her on a healthy path towards self care and a new appreciation for your gifted talent. read more

Booked my appointment with Yvette. I travel for work. Haven't been home for 3 weeks. I need my hair did. I booked my hair appointment on line. Very convenient, and less then 12 hours my appointment gets canceled. Wow. No reason or phone call. That's ok. It was probably not meant to be. But thank you for nothing. All good. read more

Yvette has been my hairstylist for years and she is so great. She is knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the process! I went to her for balayage and have been her client ever since! read more

Amazing, amazing work. The whole studio ambiance and decor was amazing. The way Yvette took the time to understand and actualize my needs was literally a shock. I felt cared for, not a customer, but a client or a family member. After trying 5 different San Antonio barbers/stylists that actually cost TWICE that of Studio15... this is now where I will go from now on! Dramatically better results, great prices, beautiful decor and studio arrangement. read more

I was fortunate to get on the books with Yvette as I was in desperate need of a new style. From the moment I first communicated with Yvette I was impressed. Any stylist who does her research on a clients hair history before the appointment gets an A+ in my book. Then I walk into the adorably impressive salon. I know...decor shouldn't influence a stylist's rating, but man it's awesome in there! Studio15 is warm, stylish, and just so well put together, it gets its own 5 Star rating. Now the cut/color. I needed some color correction to mute some brassy hues in my hair and Yvette's method did not disappoint. She was consultative while still respecting my desired outcome. In the end I got a super cute cut and a color that has garnered MANY compliments over the past week. Needless to say, I will be back and recommend booking with Yvette immediately if not sooner...even if it takes a coloring cycle to get in....worth the wait!! read more

Tabula Rasa - Stunning color from Yvette! - Hair Salons Near Me - Alamo Heights, Texas

Yvette at Studio Fifteen is hands down the best hair stylist in San Antonio. She's been doing my hair since I first moved to SA in 2003. I've unfortunately had to use other hairstylists and barbershops and have always regretted it. She really knows her stuff. I've recommended her to all of my friends and family, and have never heard anything but praise. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment ASAP. read more

I have very long, thick hair that I've been getting highlighted for years, and MJ gave me one of the best highlights I've ever had. MJ took the time to ask me questions and look at pictures in the days leading up to the appointment to make sure we were on the same page. At the appointment itself, he continued to maintain that level of professionalism and care while also making me feel very comfortable the whole time. He made helpful suggestions on products that could help solve some of my hair problems without being pushy to sell me anything. The blowout and curling he gave me after the highlights was gorgeous as well. Overall I was very happy with everything MJ did and highly recommend him for highlights and styling! read more

This review is long overdue! No contest, one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten :) I only get my hair cut once every 3-4 yrs because I grow it out and donate it. My hair is super thick and mostly straight but some of it is frizzy and wiry. So when I do get it cut (usually taking 12inches off to a bob-length), I try to get layers and some texture to keep it from poofing out, which is what happens if I get it cut straight across. 90% of the time, my hair ends up crooked, at least half an inch longer on one side, which I often discover at home after washing. This is even when I pay $40-50 at a quality hair salon. (I used to go to those cheap-o chain salons, and one time my hair was almost 2 inches longer on one side!) Yvette is one of the few people who has cut my hair perfectly. Layers, texture, and weight just right. I brought in pictures and she adapted them to my hair type, took her time, and made it perfect. NO regrets. If I still lived in San Antonio, I'd go back to her. Too bad I moved to California, because I got another crooked haircut! read more

When I find a good hairdresser I stay with them. Unfortunately with time, some can get lazy and you have to move on which was the case with my three year affair with my old hairdresser. Luckily, I found Yvette on yelp and she has all my trust! Yvette is a hair guru you can trust completely. I have been seeing her well over a year now, and she is trying her best to get my dry as straw hair back to health. While I have fought back a little to her suggestions, I let her do what she thinks is best and am finding that I Love her work! She really keeps your best interests in mind and is a genuine person. Definitely try her out, you'll love her too. Be considerate though and don't bring your little kids to the appointment with you. It's a very chill environment at her salon and you'll enjoy the break there and the wonders she does with your hair. read more

TOP NOTCH: Yvette is a amazing stylist/artist who knows her craft. She took the time to help me craft the look that I had in mind. I've never dyed my hair with vibrant colors. I sent her picture of what I had in mind and she took the time to explain the outcome on my own hair. She also wants to ensure that your color stays top notch; hence she provides clients with a well written overview on color maintenance. read more

If you are looking for a great colorist... go see MJ!!! I have traveled a lot for work and my blonde highlights have really suffered at the hands of various incompetent stylists/colorists, so I am difficult to impress and suffer from a little salon PTSD. I have been looking for a good place in San Antonio and after seeing studio fifteen's reviews decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. MJ reached out to me personally, prior to our appointment to have a "consult" (via email), and we discussed my hair goals/concerns. It definitely put my mind at ease knowing that we would already be on the same page when I arrived at my appointment. He was very thorough and definitely took the time to make sure my hair was perfect! He is the first person to get the correct color and tone I wanted! Bye bye brassy blonde!! He was a lovely conversationalist and very pleasant to be around. You can tell he is passionate about his work and goes the extra mile to reach his clients goals. The salon space is lovely as well and I love that they use Kevin Murphy products! I am so glad that I finally found someone who listened and went above and beyond my expectations! Thank you MJ!! read more

Found Yvette when I first moved to San Antonio a few years ago after reading all the recommendations on Yelp which did not disappoint. Yvette is a great hair artist who clearly puts a lot of effort and care into her work. She has always been kind, professional, and efficient. Also gives the best scalp massage while getting hair shampooed. The studio itself is a whole chill vibe. Definitely positively recommend. read more

Another reviewer wrote about Yvette being a hair Goddess, i couldn't agree more! She is! Either that or a Hair Angel!! My hair was in a complete dark place before I found Yvette!! Another telling sign of her being a hair Goddess, i am a blonde, and the last time she highlighted my hair, i went almost 4 months before getting highlights again tonight. I had roots, but somehow you really couldn't tell, everything blended so well. And i am the type of person that hates roots on myself, so that was truly magical! Tonight, she created another blonde masterpiece on my head. I am starting to love my hair again- thanks to Yvette!i read more

Tabula Rasa - Beautiful blonde masterpiece by Yvette! - Hair Salons Near Me - Alamo Heights, Texas

I had the best experience with MJ! He talked me through what my color hair goals were well before I even came in for my appointment. My hair needed a lot of work, and wasn't looking very healthy. He gave me so many options and suggestions to think about. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and my coat was hung up. I was treated as a VIP and never felt rushed out. He took his time in making sure every detail was given attention 100% of the time. I couldn't have asked for a better stylist to do my hair. Just look at the amazing results! I highly recommend coming to this salon and booking an appointment with MJ. He is an amazing person and I truly enjoyed my experience with him. read more

Yvette is wonderful! Besides being talented and witty, she listens and cares. I came in asking for a specific cut but she asked to make a style adjustment based on my hair type. Also, without me noticing, she made a color correction that will allow me to go red down the road since I complained my last colorist went too dark making my hair seem flat. Next time I visit I can go slightly lighter picking up the red in my undertones. Very cool. She told me about it at the end. Very reasonably priced. read more

Tabula Rasa - Me styles one way. Can pull it forward for a different look. Subtle highlights. - Hair Salons Near Me - Alamo Heights, Texas

I can't believe it took me so long to discover this place. Yvette did a tremendous job with my hair. She gave me the color I've always wanted. I couldn't believe it. Not only is she crazy talented, she's perceptive, kind, and intelligent. I really enjoyed talking to her. And I felt really comfortable being there (that's certainly not always the case at other salons). Just a wonderful experience. Oh, and her dog is adorable and super sweet and chill! Thank you again, Yvette! I'll definitely be returning. read more

I had my first appointment here last week and was so happy with my hair! Yvette is so knowledgeable and will take the time to create a great plan for your hair with you. She took her time and made me feel super welcome. I loved how my hair turned out and can't wait to go back. read more

First and foremost, the stylists in this salon are ALL very talented, so no matter who you decide on, expect to feel great when you leave. I just had a very satisfying visit with MJ who really took his time to listen and revive my color with rich highlights and lowlights and a cut that keeps me peeking in the mirror every time I pass one saying to myself score. This is a hip salon y'all with a very chill vibe! Never feels hectic or busy. Plus they have a a awesome music playlist! read more

Studio fifteen is amazing and Yvette is a hair genius! You won't regret going to her. She does amazing balayage on my hair that looks natural and I always get compliments on - I have never left a salon happier. She also provides a personalized experience in her salon. Both times I visited I was the only client there and we had great conversation and she has great background music as well. Yvette is extremely knowledgeable about hair and it was nice to learn more about the techniques she uses and how to style hair at home. This is by far the best hair salon I have EVER visited. I've moved out of state recently and am dreading having to find a new person to trust with my hair. You definitely won't regret trusting Yvette with yours! read more

Adults and children in our family go to Yvette for haircuts. The studio is relaxing but also fun. We all get to talk, listen to music, catch up on news. My hair is long and thick, and Yvette does a great job adding layers. My kids feel special and grown up, especially when it's blow out time. I often recommend Studio Fifteen to my friends, especially when they need expert color work. read more

END GAME! Your search is over. THIS IS THE PLACE! The place you'll find a true artist. The place you'll find secure hands to put your hair hopes in. The place you'll find where your presence as a client is valued. The place where you'll leave feeling like everything about your experience just felt right. Yvette's artistry matches her nature. She is fluid, she is in tune, she is connected, she is natural. From the moment she welcomed me, I felt like I had known her for years. She feels familiar, and that is a very good feeling. I will follow her wherever she goes! read more

The one and only, and I'm super picky. Location is a little tucked away but with a quaint atmosphere and top products. Lisa is my stylist but I don't doubt any other dresser there would live up to my high expectations. I love the chill and chic atmosphere that never falls prey of lines and provides an intimate and peaceful experience. read more

I really loved the environment here and felt like the lady that did my hair (i forgot her name) was super nice and helpful! And all for a good price :) much cheaper than other salons and very professional. read more

Studio Fifteen is truly a charming salon. I had the great pleasure of meeting Yvette who was my hair stylist with real artistic talent. Hands down an "as good as it gets" service and salon; I have never been happier with my hair as I was when I walked out of here. # Charming The layout of the salon is welcoming and you can tell a lot of thought was put into the flow of the room. A very clean, sleek and edgy persona with bold character. I guarantee you, you will not find this salon cluttered with cords hanging about, nor dirty or dull...this place has a soul and is strategically laid out, you have to witness it for yourself. It's also not a traditional mundane salon that you would see in a large mall or shopping center, and it could even potentially turn out to be a treasure hunt finding this place, if you don't PAY ATTENTION to the Yelp tips. I highly recommend (Clap, Clap, Stomp, Stomp!) reading the email they will send once your appointment is confirmed which will make this little gem easier to find. # Real Artistic Talent - I Love My Hair Now to what really matters- the hair! I received a subtle balayage with long layers that I absolutely love. My hair is super straight and these layers really add oomph without me having to do much to it. It also looks stunning with curls. Funny how I matter-of-factly told Yvette that my hair couldn't hold curls. I believed it to be true from 30+ years of failed attempts to curl my limp hair (even professionally). Well, Yvette not only gave me curls that lasted even through the next day, she explained to me exactly what she was doing, and showed me how I could style my hair the same way in 15 minutes. I am forever grateful for her showing me that styling technique and sharing other insightful tips with me regarding my hair type and cut. #Overall Yvette is certainly gifted and takes great pride in her work. I am 100% satisfied with the service here; do give this jewel a try! read more

Will def come back to get my hair done here. I did color. My hair colorist was Lisa P. She is really good at listening to what u want and explaining the process. They want to make sure you leave with what u want, which is great! The salon is so cute, very relaxing and cool. It's right next to the white museum, so there's food and places to hang out all around if your in town visiting. read more

I've been going to Yvette and Lisa for over a year now and they are absolutely amazing! Hands down the best stylists I have ever been to. They excel at haircuts and color. I've never been happier!

I highly recommend MJ! He took the time to learn about my hair, my color inspirations & long term goals to keep my hair healthy. He is knowledgeable, on the up n up with latest trends & always attending classes to perfect his craft. Finally found someone I can trust with my hair! I left with beautiful hi-lites & beach waves that lasted for another day. The salon also sells Kevin Murphy products, which I've been looking for. He recommended a few products but never pushy...just informative on each one! Love MJ's creativity & energy...wonderful experience! read more

Like many others who gave rave reviews on here, I, too, am grateful to have Yvette as my new stylist. I'm new to SA and finding a good stylist was HARD. I endured one bad and one mediocre haircut before getting an appointment with Yvette. She is knowledgeable, listens to you, is precise, explains why she's doing what she's doing, and is delightful to talk to. Highly recommend her. read more

MJ did my hair. I went for a pixie hair cut which he did a great job of. Very cool and quaint place. Lovely ambience. Very relaxing..

Lisa styled my daughter's hair for Alamo heights senior party. Our first impression as we walked through the studio was the overall decor was awesome (very hip). We asked for a straightening and we were overall very satisfied with the end product. There was one or two minor requests that went unaddressed but ultimately that may be on is for not reminding the stylist. Lisa was so pleasant and welcoming and even made arrangements to "fit" is in when the other stylist was already home for the day. Consider us happy customers and we may be back for a color sometime soon. read more
