    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.

    Subtle balayage by Rita! See my review below
    Emily H.

    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!

    This is a great location, laid back vibe, in a vintage house, unique decor...I have followed Jesse here through 2 earlier locations She is simply the best stylist I've ever had, listens carefully, attentive and methodical. Does all manner of hair and styles, clientele appear to be young & hip or older & experienced....stylish to conventional, whatever I have long hair; guys with long hair.... she's your stylist Then there is the always new music playlist.....

    Gorgeous color! Perfect cut!

    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.

    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.

    Perfect blonde by Leah
    Casey R.

    Every girl who wants to go platinum blonde struggles to get her hair the perfect shade but Leah gets it every time! My hair is so healthy and so perfect! She is so great and truly cares about her clients and the long term conditions of their hair. So happy I met her

    Loved my aubergine ombre by the one and only, Leah.
    Diana H.

    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.

    My first color...Sublet Balayage! Loving the subtle change.
    Andrea S.

    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!
