Although I'm still upset for the experience i had, i will rate 5 stars on the customer service. Robert was very nice and didnt in no way make me feel like it was my fault or if I was just acting out. He heard me out which I very much appreciate. read more

I am very picky when it comes to my hair and for the last 3 years I had been looking that special person that can do the job until now! So I found this place in a corner of the huge Galleria and at first I was skeptical until I met Julie. She not only has the looks but also the attitude. If this were the feudal Japan I can see her like a Kunoichi using a katana and precisely delivering the killing blow to the Daymio's enemy on one move. That good is she with her hands and sharp objects. I am pretty sure her scissors were crafted by elves and that in some degree she is related with Edwards Scissor hands. Believe me, she know her business and totally blown my mind when she was finished with my hair. Read no more, go there and ask for Julie, she will take good care of your hair. Regarding Visible Changes, I will always come back if Julie is there, my hair has a crush and I cannot deny its monthly fix. read more

I came in today 3/30/18 for a cut this isn't my first choice place ever but my barber was out of town so I gave it a shot. I specifically told the guy at the front that I needed a good stylist. I can't remember the Hispanic lady's name who I was assigned to but BOYYYY do I regret ever coming here. THIS IS THE WORST MENS HAIRCUT I HAVE EVER GOTTEN. I'm not sure how or why this happened but my stylist went overboard and removed a good portion of my hairline in the front. Clearly visible! Now I'm going to have to wait 2-3 weeks for this hair to grow back. This is terrible!!! Please don't make the same mistake I made. DO NOT COME HERE FOR MENS HAIRCUTS. You'd expect a top stylist to be able to minimum give you a nice straight line up especially in the front, forehead area where 100% of the people talking to you can clearly see it. I have a dinner meeting tomorrow that I can't wear a hat to it, now I'm considering just shaving it all off! This was the worst experience ever. I posted a pic to show how bad it really is. Ironically this place's name is still very accurate. The Changes are very visible, but not in a good way!!!! read more

Visible Changes - The WORST MENS HAIRCUT EVER! Look at my hairline it's so sad and depressing. - Hair Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had a hair cut today. Pretty rough experience. I asked three times for her to cut a certain spot short, and even at the end she argued with me after I asked her to trim it short the final time. She never showed me the back of my hair either, didn't do the spin in the chair with a hand mirror thing. Had she did, I would have asked for something else. Finally, I paid $23 more than normal for one of the worst haircuts I've had in years. The stylists I've seen before were busy so they booked me with a higher level WITHOUT informing me she was higher level. All in all, I've been going there for the past few years, and now I'm looking for a new business. read more

A few years ago I went to a great person here. Unfortunately he left and I bounced around to a few different stylists. I finally found my hair soul-mate. Then he left. Haven't found a good match since - just a whole lot of upselling. As convenient as they were, they lost my business. read more

Been with the same stylist for 5-6 years at this location, Juany. She is very friendly and nice and always seems to do a pretty good job. The problem is that she is only capable of giving me the same haircut for the last 5-6 years. Don't get me wrong, it's a good look for me, but after all that time, I wanted something different so I ventured out. I sent my mom to Juany about 2 years ago, and she gave her the same exact haircut. Maybe mom and I have the same facial structure that fits the haircut, but 1) walking around in the same haircut as your mom is only appropriate when you are less than 5 years old, and 2) I doubted her creativity if that seems to be the only haircut she is able to give to anyone. read more

When I graduated from college, I moved back to Houston and needed a new stylist as I was living in uptown and grew up in the NW suburbs. I had been going to places recommended by friends, but never could find the right person because they didn't listen or do what I wanted. I like my hair cuts simple- lots of even layers and thinning out my thick hair. I also like my hair styled very straight. I have been going to Daniel at Visible Changes for about two years now, and he is WONERFUL! He does what you want him to and you will always get it looking like you want! When I bring a picture, he sometimes will give you suggestions on how to make it look better on you (however if you tell him you want it exactly like the photo he will do it) He also did my hair for my bridal portraits and on my wedding day and it looked beautiful! He is very talented and is fun to talk to, but does not talk the whole time (which is nice for me to relax and it shows he is focused on his work). He is WONDERFUL and I highly recommend him! read more

I go to Marcus for my highlights and he is incredible! I keep going back and will continue to keep coming back as long as he is there. If you need a colorist who is great at their job and also a great person to chat with - go see him! Also, just found out there is a garage super close to the visible changes entrance - the blue garage. read more

I really do quite like this place. I called on a Sunday morning and was able to get a appointment on the same day with Pam, who I have gone to before. She does a great job and knew exactly the kind of look I was going for. She was very attentive and paid attention to small details. I will keep going back to her. Hair looks great! I paid $52 plus tip, which I think is completely reasonable for my length and cut. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they tried to charge me $5 for conditioner that I didn't even want. I was not asked if I wanted this "special" conditioner, nor was I even aware I was getting it until I went to pay. After arguing with the receptionist, they took it off. I really don't appreciate them trying to rip me off like this. read more

Was deciding on where to get my haircut. A friend of mine goes here so I decided to get my first haircut in Houston at Visible Changes. I called on a Thursday afternoon to schedule an appointment later that evening. I had no problem making an appointment. I ended up with Amir as my stylist. Shampooing was very nice and the cut was great. For the price (28 USD) it was perfect. It took only a half an hour and I was happy. I also bought some hair products there and they have such a wide and great selection. I most likely will be back. read more

What a scam you want to go get your hair blown dry and they tell you that they don't have anybody available unless it's the most expensive master stylist to charge $45 for a $25 blow dry. Really not a great way to do business especially not a great way to get business and being out of town or really leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I guess they would rather have their Masters sitting around then to at least get some kind of business very unimpressed would never recommend this place read more

So my 5 star rating is strictly due to my stylist Gabriel. He is AWESOME! Seriously the best stylist around. I've been going to Gabriel for over 4 years and he has not disappointed me yet. I'm mixed- black and Indian- and my family is from the West Indies. I have had so much trouble my whole life with finding stylists that really understand my naturally curly hair. Often the products used are too much for my hair and it ends up a greasy mess that I have to immediately go home and wash OR the products are not enough and I end up with a dry frizzy mess on my head. Gabriel gets my hair perfectly straight and it always looks sleek and stylish when I leave. Everyone who knows who does my hair always compliments me after a visit to the salon and they almost always say "I know you've been to see Gabriel!" My hair is always cut perfectly and he recommends great products for me to use at home. I can't say enough about how great he is as a stylist. In fact he'll be cutting my one year old son's hair (his hair is just like mine) in a few weeks! The rest of the salon is good as well. I've never had a problem making an appointment and I'm always checked in pretty quickly. My only complaint is that some of the folks who wash your hair don't wash thoroughly enough for me. Most of the time though Gabriel will send someone over to do my hair wash so they are usually on point. Also they don't take American Express so be aware if that's how you usually pay. read more

I usually don't go to Visible changes but I discovered an excellent Hair cutting expert at the Galleria location: SANAZ! Get an appointment with Sanaz. -- She'll make it worth the travel, time, and great results. I hate going to places where they charge you $70 bucks, cuts your hair in 5 min and could care less about you. (*cough* toni & guy - willowbrook mall) *** If you can afford a trip to north Houston, I highly recommend Salon Matos -- it's the only Paul Mitchell Salon in town. -www.salonmatos.com -Ask to get a shampoo in the "Shampoo room." It's sooooo relaxing. ----Book an appointment with Ivis. read more

I have come to visible changes many times before to get my hair colored and left overly satisfied every time. My visit on 4/10/18 however was a disaster- I literally went to my car and cried out my frustration. I arrived at 3:00 and was immediately checked in. I waited about 15 minutes which wasn't a big deal. I was assigned to Privyah (honestly not sure if I even spelled that right). I explained to her that I was looking to bring up my previous caramel balayage/ombré hair and add some lighter pieces around my head using the balayage technique. Prior to the services my hair had dark roots that gradually faded to a brassy brown and some parts had Beige/yellow highlights. My hair was the perfect canvas for a balayage. I showed her a picture of what I wanted my results to look like. She took a look, and said that it will be difficult to lighten my hair to match the hair color in the picture and the use of bleach will damage my hair and may break off. She also mentioned that my hair had to be "color corrected" which didn't make sense to me because I wasn't asking her to change my overall hair color nor was it a complicated task (I have colored my hair long enough to know that she had an amazing canvas to work with) After a few times of her repeating the consequences of what I wanted, which seemed more like hesitation from her end and perhaps consciously knew she wasn't capable of giving me the results I wanted, she told me she had to get her manager to take a look at my hair and see if it's "do-able." Her manager came over to speak to me and ask me what it was that I wanted so I showed him the same picture I showed her before. He took a look at my hair and said that yes it's doable. So Privyah went ahead and told me she would do a color melt, add some blonde pieces, and darken other pieces, so all in all I had 3 colors that will blend in to match the photo. She started the process around 3:30 and finished by 7:30, so a total of 4 hours. During the shampoo process, she was VERY rough it hurt my scalp, but I'm not the one to complain I just wanted to get it over with. After shampoo and conditioning, she took me to get a rough blow dry since I did not want a full blow dry. The stylist that dries my hair a bit so I was able to see my results was very friendly, handed me a mirror so I can see the back of my hair. originally I liked it it looked decent. I walked into the restroom to take a better look and I was extremely disappointed. She had added 2 random highlights on the left side and one chunky highlight on the right, you can see the harsh lines of the highlights that I'm assuming were supposed to frame my face. These atrocious highlights started almost at the top of my roots and I told her not to mess with the top base in the first place. I walked back out to the salon and told her my concern. After explaining and showing her my hair, she began to blabber none sense essentially blaming it on my hair. She said that she didn't want to leave the bleach on too long or it'll damage my hair. What the hell did that have to do with the fact that I had ugly disproportionate highlights? Not ONCE did she say she was sorry. She offered to fix it, but after 4 hours and seeing as she already did the damage, I refused to go back to her chair. She damaged my hair with bleach which I agreed to, but because she messed up my hair has to be re-processed which now will DAMAGE MY HAIR EVEN FURTHER-and it's all because she did a horrible job. Paid $175 for her to ruin my hair. The manager rescheduled me for tomorrow with Becky(who did my original balayage that was perfect) to correct the mess. However, I feel like $175 was far too expensive considering my hair was light already AND she messed up. They have messed up my moms roots as well in the past and she warned me not to go there again, I should have listened. read more

I have been going here about 4 1/2 years or so now to Megan. I am natural and she has my hair so trained that in a hour--I am out of there. (Please note: I also use one product I purchased online for frizz/humidity from Sabino that she uses on my hair before she flat-iron's my hair and it helps.) Megan is not only nice, with a great smile--she is very knowledgeable about hair and the products that will work well with your specific hair. I must say that the rest of the staff from the front to the back are absolutely great as well. I won't name names because I will forget someone. Over the years, I have watched just about everyone with their various satisfied clients and can say that I am glad I made the call and starting going here. read more

I've been going to see Maryam for five years now for hair color/highlights and she is by far the best hair colorist in all of Houston. After spending a long frustrating time finding someone who could actually dye my hair the color I wanted I finally found the perfect colorist. She listens to what you want and really works with you to get the hair color you desire. read more

Picture given to stylist. Didn't come close to what I left with. Told her few long layers....my hair has clearly defined, not blended layers, disappointed upset and to top it off it is totally uneven cut in the back. She didn't cut the under growth so it's sticking out all weird. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER! Waste of $55..probably would have done better at my local Supercuts ! read more

Zelda!!! Zelda!!! Zelda!!! That is the girl to see for hair color! She saved my day after a horrible hair day at another salon. I went straight to zelda after i left the other salon. She took great care of my hair. I asked for a platnum ombre with a hint of blue. She told me what it would do to my hair and saved me from having to pay extra and coming back to get it done again. Its better then i imagined it. Thank you so much for making my day and my hair happy((: i will deff be coming back to see her(: read more

I may update this to 4 stars, but for now, I'm holding at 3. I admit it, it was silly to just 'drop-in' on a Friday evening. The wait wasn't terrible, but then I chose to go with a more experienced cutter - read more money. They did a perfectly adequate job, I believe they had a regular waiting and seemed to be hurrying.For the money, I thought I'd get a little more time. I'll know how good the cut was in a few days as it grows out. For now I'd say, VC is efficient, quick, seemingly does a good cut, expensive (makes sense since the rent in the Galleria must be crazy) read more

I received a call from Visible Changes and they were really concerned about the experience I had at the salon and asked me to come back so that they may take a closer look at my hair and get me the desired results. I was able to book the next day with Marcus and he was so wonderful and easy going and explained that a quick toner should be able to eliminate any brass. I was in and out within about an hour, hour and a half and I couldn't be happier with my current hair color. I will post a picture of the beautiful Ash blonde balayage Markus did for me so that I may reference this color for future visits! read more

Update to my original post (which was made a couple of years ago) I guess, if a company apologizes, they always don't mean that. This is the case that happened with Visible Changes. They tried to correct and apologize for my previous bad experience with a complimentary gift card and a handwritten card saying they were apologetic. However, I guess, that also means ban the client right after the service is complete because I find out years later today when I'm trying to book an appointment at another location in a different city that I'm no longer allowed service there (at any locations). It's unfortunate their apology in the first place really wasn't an apology. I would have not accepted the gift card, their "apology", and come back again if I had known this would happen. I gave them a second chance and paid for their services with additional money on top of the gift card and for their products thinking their intentions were sincere. I gave them a five stars review (as seen posted previously) thinking this company was being genuine... However, I would have never gone back, never taken the gift card, or accepted their apology if I knew that's how they truly felt and if they were going to ban me for voicing a complaint and speaking about how I felt. Regardless, even if they don't stand by their apology, I will still stand by my original complaint two years ago at the Memorial City location that I don't believe a manager or anyone should talk down on someone to the point where they leave the store in a panic attack and in tears because of miscommunication. I also don't think a company should apologize if you truly don't mean it. It would have saved my time and energy and money spent back in the place. read more

Wife had a trim and cut. Really cool place. It fits the mold of the galleria by all means. I do think you can get the same cut somewhere else without having to fight traffic and park and then walk in. I would say if you have a stylist here then it is perfect. Otherwise I would look for something a little more convenient. read more

I have been here a few times and I am never satisfied with the customer service. The people working behind the counter are constantly rude and unwelcoming. I kept coming back because my hair is all one length and super easy to cut and this place is convenient. Most of the time the stylist does a good job but I had an appointment yesterday and the woman (Meta) cutting my hair couldn't be more rude. She started off by telling me I was cold because I was "basically naked." I was wearing long sleeves and some shorts and I don't think it is appropriate for her to comment on the way I dress. Throughout the hair cut she kept making jabs at how awfully damaged my hair was and how I basically didn't take good care of it. Literally all she could talk about is how bad my hair was and tried to sell me product. I am a swimmer and have been since I was 6 years old. I also teach swim lessons so I am constantly in the pool and having to wash my hair. I try to get a hair cut every 6 months and really don't need her to tell me my hair is frizzy or dry. Even after explaining this to her she made it sound as though I just shouldn't be in the chlorine that much (like I have a choice). At the end of the appointment she tells me she is a level 5 stylist even though I have only requested a level 1. I was not informed of this on the phone. I was put with her because she had an opening earlier in the morning but it seems like she felt sighted because I was only going to end up having to pay for a level 1 stylist and she's more of a "professional" than that. She still had the nerve to give me her business card and pretend like everything well great and I should come back and see her! When I checked out the guy barely made eye contact and just gave me my change. I paid with cash and received no receipt (SKETCHY) and it was incredibly awkward because there was no okay you're checked out or have a nice day or come back and see us again. He maybe said 3 words and I was left standing there like okay thats all? He seemed as though he couldn't have been bothered. I am done putting up with the awful customer service here and do not recommend this place to anyone who would like to be treated with some decency! read more

GG did an amazing job...she truly is the #queenofcolorartistry ! I have been to other salons who never came close to the fantasy color I wanted. GG corrected my color and did my fantasy color. She is very informative and explained everything as we went along and made me feel at ease. Also, I had an amazing stylist ,Rhian, who not only gave me an amazing cut & style, but was extremely informative and helpful! Rhian not only heard me out on the type of cut and style i wanted but she also gave me options to achieve the look I wanted. THANK YOU BOTH! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING ! read more

I visited the Galleria location of Visible Changes on Friday of last week. I had not been to Visible Changes since I was in high school and had encountered some bad haircuts before at the Memorial City Mall location. Fed up with how expensive hair cuts go nowadays and desperate for a hair cut, I decided to try this place again. I'm glad I gave Visible Changes another chance because the haircut I receieved is one of the best I have ever gotten. They set me up with Katrina (I paid $44 for wash/cut/syle) and she was awesome! I have super thick, wavy/curly hair that seems to confuse most stylists, but Katrina knew what to do with it! She gave me a super fun shorter cut that is easy to deal with and I have gotten a lot of compliments on it as well! I will definitely go back and ask for her again. I did find it weird that you have to pay for conditioner for your hair (if you want it), but I guess everyone is trying to make extra money. You can always say no and go home and wash your hair yourself, I guess. read more

So for most of my life, I went to the typical North Side neighborhood hair salon in to get my hair cut. You know the kind - the ones with pictuers of glamour models from the 80s/90s posted everywhere and Tejano music blasting on the radio. You could tell just by looking at the staff that these people aren't the best trained, maybe a class or two at a local vocational school. But at $8 a cut, what would you expect. I don't know why I've wanted a change recently, but I'm glad I finally moved up a notch. I was initially shocked that simple cut with a master stylist would be $30. But I braved the Galleria traffic, so I was going to go through with it whether I liked the prices or not. On both occasions, the stylists Daniel and Ricky proved to do what no hair stylist has ever been able to do - give me a cut I'm cool with. I have a TON of hair, and it's very curly once it has grown out. Previously, stylists would cut it all wrong, leaving the sides and back just as long as the top, giving me an awkward look for at least two weeks. It's like these guys have been trained specifically to deal with my hair. Even if both cases were a fluke, I'm still gonna come back here and risk them getting it wrong then go to a neighborhood salon and know for certain that they will get it wrong. read more

This company main focus is numbers/sales not your hair. It's been over a year and still can not get my hair to what it was.They lied and didn't have sympathy for my hair or me. Not an apology they blamed me after I tried to make a claim through their insurance, saying they told me the damage it would cause my hair but I "INSISTED" why? Would I insist if they recommend not to why? read more

I never thought I would say this about a salon inside the mall, but I LOVE my colorist and hairstylist at this location. Amanda does the best highlighting on my blonde hair and Juany is one of the best hairstylists I've ever had. I am picky as my hair is very fine and it's easy to get a brassy blonde color. But both Amanda and Juany hit it out of the park every time. Most recently I had extensions added to give my fine hair lift and curl and the results have been AMAZING!! Amanda did a beautiful job with the color and then worked with Juany to match the extensions. Juany cut my hair and blended everything so it's beautiful and natural looking. I have people stop me when I'm out to ask how I get my hair so gorgeous. Thank you so much to these two ladies - I love my hair!! read more

Ok story time. So I got my hair done 2 months ago by someone who claimed to be a color specialist. I had virgin hair and asked for auburn balayage. She did blonde and I was horrified, I went back the next day and she just threw red over it. I am going to a wedding in 2 weeks and just realized I don't have time between now and the wedding to get my hair fixed! I called this morning at 10 and got in by 11:30. Gigi colored my hair and Janet cut it. I am absolutely amazed by how wonderful my hair looks. I showed her what I wanted on Pinterest for color and she matched it perfectly. I asked Janet for a trim and she didn't chop off all my hair! I definitely will be back! read more

I have always went to the one in Memorial Mall and I don't have any complaints about it. I loved Zwee. We moved so now its out of the way for me to go there :( . Luckily, I found Julie who does an amazing job. She is adorable and sweet, but most importantly, she knows exactly what I like the moment I get there. She is on time (most of the stylists I've been to sometime run late- probably because of their previous clients) and remembers probably every thing I've ever said to her. I also used to never buy styling products from Visible Changes but Julie really knows what to use and recommend that works! It gets very packed so I try to go on weekdays or weird times. I highly recommend Julie at Visible Changes-Galleria Mall if you ever need a new hair stylist! read more

I guess I'm getting tired of the standard Barber Shops. I went to look for one the other day, and I remembered having a good experience at Visible Changes, where my wife likes to go. I got my hair cut by Anthony, and surprisingly, it looked real good; even better than when I go to Smart Styles or a Barber Shop. Felt better too. So, for all you metrosexuals out there: this is worth the price of admission. Get on down there, and get a good hair cut! The only drawback is that it *is* a bit pricey, so buyer beware! read more
