The best hair salon in Houston Heights and Jesse, my hair dresser, is amazing. Jesse highlights, cuts and styles my hair. I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else!! read more

I made an appointment with holli online and cancelled 5 day before my appointment. Then rebooked for next month and was declined! I would never go here bad customer service. read more

I was referred to Jessica by my former stylist. I went to the website to call and book an appointment but could not find a number, but the website prompted me to book online. So I did. But then I got a response saying my appointment was "pending" and it stayed pending for 4 or 5 days...literally up to just a few days before the appointment date I had chosen. Then I got a message saying that Jessica was unable to accept my appointment due to a schedule conflict, but when I read the message further, it also said she was declining my appointment request because she was not taking any new clients. Ok, but as a prospective client, that is a HUGE turn-off. Why not state that on your website? Due to the time it took for her to respond, I couldn't help but think she was checking out my Insta and deciding that she didn't want to cut my hair. Whatever the reason, this was a really bad experience. read more

Jessie was referred to me by a friend. She was incredibly sweet and patient. She knew exactly what I wanted without me explaining well. I appreciated her eye for style and perfection! Easy to talk to and certainly makes you feel comfortable. Great salon - Well kept and clean! I highly recommend her and supporting this local business in the Heights. read more

one of your employee, name Maly Khang didn't want to clean the chair that I wanted to buy. Very disappointed of the service.

I had been trying to find a good salon to make my go to place since I'm new to the area. I saw the reviews and loved what I saw. I tried reaching out through instagram for an appointment over a month ago and got no response. I decided to give them another chance. So I called and N/a which I thought maybe they're busy and the vm message said to text them. So I did send a text and it's been a day and still haven't heard back. I'm definitely not pleased. I expected better customer service. read more

I had a wonderful experience at The Chair HTX with Rita! I had never dyed my hair before and wanted a subtle balayage. I have a light brown ashy color originally, and wanted it to be a brighter, lighter version of my color without "going blonde". I was pretty scared, but Rita knew exactly what I was asking and understood that I wanted to start out small. I LOVE what she did. The color literally is exactly what I asked - a brighter version of what I had. I may decide to go lighter in the future, but Rita started me with a great subtle color that I can build on. She even fixed my cut that was a little wonk . I was so scared to dye my hair for the first time and Rita gave me a great experience and a great color. I get so many compliments. She rocks, everyone here rocks. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I have to rave a little about Holli and about this adorable house turned salon! I went to see Holli for the 1st time. Immediately she put me at ease and made me super comfortable being that I was only one week postop from surgery. She made me coffee because I mentioned how exhausted I was. I showed her a few pics of what I was looking for. She went above and beyond with my cut and color!!!! I told her that she has a customer for life now!! Go see Holli. You will not be disappointed. Trust me. read more

I tried booking a new client appointment with Jessica two weeks away from the date of the appointment ( booked on 12/12 for 12/29). I got a confirmation email that stated Jessica needed to accept the appointment and figured there wasn't much reason to worry and thought I'd get my haircut today (12/29). I woke up this morning and realized there wasn't a follow up email so I called her number but she never answered. Then about an hour later I got an email saying my appointment was denied. There was no communication and I absolutely would've booked somewhere else had I known she would decline my appointment the day of my appointment. I wanted to get my haircut before my 21st birthday but I don't think it will be possible now. I will not try to book with this salon again read more

The Chair salon is cute/clean/seems great, but I've only used Leah, so can't comment on the other stylists. I used to go to Leah at The Roots salon from 2014-2015 and then followed her to her private salon in Rice Village in 2016 (I think?), then she moved up to Conroe and I decided to start going to a different salon in the Heights, since that was too far to drive. About 2 weeks ago I got an email from Leah stating that she was back in Houston and was offering past clients a 50% off deal, so I scheduled an appointment to get highlights done by her. My previous experiences with Leah were all positive. She is very easy to talk to and skilled with hair. No complaints over several years going to her for cut & color, until today... I showed her the three photos (I included them in the gallery) and told her I really wanted a lot more blonde/contrast than I normally have in my hair. She showed me a picture with less dramatic highlights and said we might only be able to achieve this look today, since it takes awhile to get that blonde look. I asked her if she could do old school highlights with the foil, because I used to get them done and they always worked after just one appointment. Leah told me she'd rather do balayage then foil highlights and that she was sure I would prefer it since it's less maintenance (I've had balayage twice before so I agreed, though I had only had balayage for low lights, so wasn't sure what the final result would look like with highlights). She showed me pictures of what she thought she could achieve and again I commented that I wanted more contrast between light and dark. I wanted highlights. She said I might have to come back in June for a second round of highlights in case it didn't work this time. I agreed and we got to it. Fast forward to the end. She showed me the back of my head and I struggled with what to say, so I said "I'll be honest and say I don't love it. It's not bad at all, it's fine, it's just not what I asked for. There aren't any highlights." She immediately got defensive and said the lighting was bad and that she TOLD me she couldn't do highlights on my hair, and that it would take more than one time. I said yes I just thought there would be a difference between light and dark, ie: more contrast. She then told me that it's not possible to add highlights to colored brown hair. I am by no means an expert on hair dye, so I said "there's no point in arguing, it's fine. I'll pay now thanks." If it had ended there with an apology from Leah and a "how can I make it better? Want to schedule the next round of highlights and I promise it'll look like those photos you showed me?!" then this would be a 4 or 5 star review. However it didn't stop there. She continued to argue with me about why it wasn't possible to do highlights in my dyed brown hair. I couldn't help myself and said "my friend just went from dyed black hair to bleached blonde hair in one sitting. How is it not possible to add highlights to mine?" And that's when she said "How much did she pay for that? Your friend probably spent 8 hours at the salon. I charge $100 per hour for that kind of work and I would have scheduled you for the whole day. That's called a color correction". I said "well why didn't you offer that to me? Why didn't you tell me that was what I needed?" and she said (keep in mind we are in front of everyone in the salon) "because you were budget conscious. Would you have paid $400 for your hair to be highlighted?" I was completely offended and taken aback. First of all, I was not budget conscious. I didn't reach out to her asking for a discount, she reached out to me. I get my hair done every 3-4 months. I am not some cheapo who won't pay to get what I really want. Once she said that budget comment I said "so you mean to tell me that I could have paid more and sat in that chair a bit longer under the lights and I'd have the color I wanted?" and she again said "yes for $100 per hour!" with a tone that implied "would you have paid that?" By the way 50% off came out to $108 for just highlighting (that includes 20% tip). No cut. I don't think that's a "budget shopper", but even if it is, you don't insult your customer like that. :( I wouldn't recommend Leah. read more

The Chair HTX - Perfect blonde by Leah - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I went to Leah for color and cut. I was a little worried because I wanted aubergine and it's always hard for my hair to take color. However, I had a thorough consultation with her and felt more confident. The day of the appointment, we consulted a little more before she started to work on me. It came out exactly like I envisioned!! I want to take this moment to praise her because she worked until the late evening hours on my hair. She persisted until she and I were satisfied with the color. Not all stylists are this dedicated! You can tell that she has a passion for her art. I will definitely go back to her. Thank you Leah for the superb service that you provide. read more

If you need a new look or color make an appointment now! I have been going to Rita for haircuts for 10 years now! (Wow) I was so excited that she was opening her own salon. I also used it as an excuse to try color for the first time....Rita did Balayage...and I love it! It's is hard to find someone you really trust to cut your hair. (Which is why I have been going to Rita for so long.) I am now in the mode of "just do what looks good on me." And I am never disappointed. I also love the fact that I'm supporting a local business run by some of the hardest workers in town! read more

The Chair HTX - My first color...Sublet Balayage! Loving the subtle change. - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

Heads up all. I love Holli and The Chair! I go to Holli for my color and cut every 4 wks. I go to her once a week for a blowout. The Salon is wonderful. It's so inviting and all the ladies here will make sure you are happy and taken care of. Today I had the Brazilian Blowout done and oh my. My hair feels amazing!! I am not worried about the houston humidity now! Woo!! read more

I went to Rita at The Chair to get halo couture extensions. The experience truly couldn't have been easier or more professional! Ordering the halo was a piece of cake and it came in even earlier than anticipated. I have to get a much longer length hair piece than I want and Rita was able to cut it and shape it to my hair EXACTLY as I wanted. Honestly can't rave about them enough!! Great experience! read more

I followed Holli from another Salon. She is very talented. I absolutely love the old Heights bungalow!

I have been following Jesse around for at least 10 years. My hair is thick and I'm picky AF but Jesse just gets it. So proud of her for opening up her own place! Let her cut you, you'll love it. read more

Jesse took care of my long, curly, and very unruly hair with color and cut. Thank you!

I followed Holli here over a year ago and love the ambiance, staff, clientele and overall chill environment. The salon is housed in a cute little Heights home with overflow seating on a comfortable front porch. Note: Leave the Ford350 at home because parking is easier for compact vehicles, though all can be accommodated. It's very personal, customized experience with no product push or hair surprises. They pipe in relaxing music, provide free wifi, are kid-friendly, offer complimentary beverages and most importantly, great haircuts from Holli (She does all types of hair). Definitely check them out. You may just find your salon soulmate. Also, they carry Kevin Murphy hair products from Australia, if that's your thing. read more

I found this salon over the summer while I was looking for a new hair stylist closer to my apartment. I looked through their Instagram and booked with Holli and can not recommend the salon or Holli highly enough. The actual space is so low key, yet cute and cozy. Love the vibe. And Holli has been great to work with. I am always so ambivalent and indecisive when it comes to my hair and she has been so patient in listening to what I "kinda" want and guiding in the appropriate direction from blonde, to reddish, back to blonde (and the haircuts are always incredible, she really takes her time)....Every time I absolutely love what she does (and doesn't hurt that I've gotten numerous compliments as well). Thank you Holli!!!! read more

I have been getting my haircut exclusively by Jesse for about two years now. I actually followed her to The Chair from another salon she worked at. She is hands down the best hairdresser I have ever had. She listens to what you want and gets you to your hair goals. I used to wear my hair long and blow dry it out or straighten it and she gave me perfect layered cuts for this look... now I have started to wear it shorter and like to wear my natural waves, and she has given me a great haircut to fit this look for the texture of my hair. I way prefer this low maintenance look and so happy she made it possible. Also the salon itself is really nice and welcoming in a darling historic heights cottage. Highly recommended!! read more

Just got a haircut for me and my son with Jessie. Love it!! She did a bob for me with tons of layering to make my thick hair lighter. And very stylish cut for my son. The shop is in a cute little house. Atmosphere is very cute and warm. Will definitely be back! read more

The Chair HTX is welcoming and relaxing from the moment you walk up to the front porch. The house is super cozy and all the employees are sweet. I love the aromatherapy going on in the shampoo room and the music playlist was on point. Jessie gave me the cutest haircut -- love my new look! I'll definitely be back soon. read more

I'm been coming to Rita for my hair, before she even had her new salon. She is awesome and I love what she does with my hair every time. Her new salon with her partner Jesse is convenient and it's so easy to find, I love the location since it's right here in the Heights! The customer service is also incredible and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else! read more

I get my hair cut/style with Jessi. She's the best. I've followed her everywhere she goes and she's been cutting/styling my hair for about 12 years. We've gone super short with my hair (Victoria Beckham short) to long and now to medium length. This new place is very cute and comfortable. I've been here twice already since they opened in June. They shampoo and blow dry your hair. Overall, these ladies know hair. I always walk out feeling sexy. I highly recommend their work. read more

I've followed Leah ever since she first cut my hair 2+ years ago at Roots. I'm very very particular on how I want my bangs cut/ shaped and she does a great job every single time!

Love this place! Rita's been my go to hair girl for a few years now. She's amazing at both cut and color. I call her queen of the balayage. Not to mention her and Jesse are pretty great people to boot! Hands down, best place a girl can get her locks chopped and styled in Houston! read more

I love coming here not only because Jesse and Rita are incredible with my hair but the location is awesome! This charming Heights bungalow is PERFECT if you don't like dealing with big salons with too many people and dealing with parking mayhem. The Chair is cozy, private and relaxing! Jesse and Rita understand my hair texture, listen carefully to the direction I give them, and they also offer great advice ! They use Kevin Murphy which is high quality, non heavy, modern line of products that really work and last! It also feels like an aromatherapy session since all the products used throughout smell amazing!!! Jesse has the most gentle touch , gives best shampoo massage , and gave me a blow dry that lasted for days! Same with Rita - the Color expert! She is so knowledgable with color processing wether you are doing natural look or an extreme color(s)! They are lovely girls that make you feel at home and are simply bad ass at doing hair! Looking forward to my next visit, so happy I found this gem of a salon! read more

My first time here was last week and Jesse was awesome! She went above and beyond to make sure she understood what I was wanting and afterwards made sure I was totally satisfied, even offering to tweek it later if I styled it myself and it looked off.
