Karl is a G E M!
I went in unsure about what kind of cut I was going to get but with Karl's guidance I actually learned a lot. Thanks to him, I now know what a "frame" is lol He really took his time into making sure I had a great experience. I highly suggest you invest your time into Karl because he's got potential! The woman with the amazing hair that checked us out was super friendly and efficient too. I believe her name was Ivana.

I moved to Houston almost five years ago and have been trying different salons this whole time. I've finally found "the one" here with Dane! He gave me exactly what I asked for, was very particular, explained everything, and is pleasant to be around. I really like the atmosphere at the salon as well.

March 6, 2020 I got a haircut from Ms. Brandi Roberts, although she was very polite & friendly she lacks experience. She cut my long hair uneven and I pointed it out thrice whilst sitting in the chair. She was unable to even it out properly. I was new to Houston and picked the Salon because the photos looked lovely. Unfortunately, the chair I sat at had one broken bulb and one bulb completing coming out of mirror hanging from a wire and it was by the drinks in a dark area and nothing like their photos online. That evening I verified with friends and family that my hair was indeed not even

I was nervous to get my hair cut during the pandemic but I found this salon via positive friend and yelp reviews. I read about their covid policies online before my appointment (call once you arrive so that you only come inside when the stylist is ready, temperature check on arrival, everyone wears a mask the entire time, and more importantly, the shampoo, conditioner, hair cut, hair color and style were all done in its own separate room so I truly did not have any contact with anyone besides the stylist!) Yesenia really listened to me and somehow matched the exact cut and color I wanted from a

I saw Bryan for a haircut and face-framing highlights in July. He did a great job chopping 10 inches off but I wasn't totally satisfied with the color of the highlights. I have medium brown hair and the highlights ended up being more of a yellow/brassy tone, which I'm not a fan of because it clashes with my olive skin tone. I walked away a bit disappointed with the color after paying $190. I decided to return 3 days later to get a free toner after calling to express my dissatisfaction, which I appreciated. It was during that appointment that I explained to Bryan that I wanted to add a

I only had two haircuts here: the first was great but the second with David was really disappointing. My front face framing layer was uneven, and after requesting I wanted a blunt cut, my hair looked like an inverted triangle/v shape at the ends. This makes for my curly hair really difficult to grow out. I ended up having to cut 3.5 inches at a different salon 2 months later to CORRECT it. I felt really defeated because I've been trying to grow my hair long for months.
I also do not like how I was pushed so many products to purchase on top of an already expensive haircut.

Expensive.
Did not get desired look, even after two sessions, for which they charged me full price for both.
I had a family emergency and forgot to cancel the third session (to correct my hair) so they left me a voicemail saying they were charging me over $100. When i called and spoke with a team member they said "nothing can be done, the charge is automatic". Yes, sounds silly.
Eventually they dropped the charge. The manager never called me back to follow up as she said she would.
I wouldn't mind paying the prices if they were able to complete a service and/or if they were

DO NOT GO HERE EXPECTING A BRIDAL TRIAL. This place will charge you full bridal prices just to do a trial, even though their receptionist will quote you a price much lower. I was even told by the makeup artist that she was going to go "even bolder!" on my wedding day, yet she happily charged me the full bridal price for makeup. When I called back to get part of my money back, the woman basically told me I should feel lucky I paid the price I did, because if I'd gotten my hair done with David I would have paid even more.
Yea, promptly cancelled my bridal appointment after that

The worst customer service experience I have ever had at a hair salon. Went for hair color and they would not color it as they said it would not take but basically they did not want to take the extra time to do the extra necessary steps to get it where I wanted it. They took 15 minutes to give me negativity because they did not have the time for me AND for 15 minutes of their time they made me pay $50 consultation fee! Absolutely ridiculous! Totally will never go back or recommend this place. Jessie was the hair stylist and terrible customer service!

This place is a gem to find in a big city. After the long search, I finally found a place that doesn't over process my hair and has amazing high end quality extensions. I'm obsessed with this salon and the way they have transformed my hair. My hair is healthier, longer, and more glamorous.
I started going to David about a year ago and he is an artist and I have been very happy with the color and extensions. Check out photo below.
Everyone at the studio is excellent and will treat you like family. I highly recommend for any blondes that want excellent color without being over-processed

I do my hair color with Yesenia and she does an amazing job with blonde hair. She is truly an artist with balayage, and my hair looks natural and bright after I leave. I have darker brown hair, but have it highlighted to a really light blonde. The salon is a very nice salon with great service and I'm always greeted with coffee or sparkling water after I sit down.

I originally booked in with Yesenia because she is the brazillian blowout expert, and she truly lived up to the title. The brazillian blowout is not a perm like treatment, it is a keratin smoothing treatment and it truly has made the world of a difference for my hair living in Houston. My style time is cut down by atleast half and my hair stays smooth and frizz free for months! No more worrying as soon as you step out the door!
Yesenia always perfectly color matches my hair and leaves me feeling totally refreshed post treatments!
Highly recommend for anyone living in Houston!!

(7/30/15) I decided to change my rating from 2 to 1 star because of the lack of apology or concern from manager nearly 2 weeks after my review.

Friendly, happy staff and excellent color work. *Massage chairs have a pleasant surprise* Studio A team really takes care of their clients to make sure you have a great experience from the moment you walk in. They always offer you a beverage and address your questions. The interior is clean and modern, with pops of color from artwork by local artists. Well done.
I've been getting cut and color by Lew and I love the ashy smoky caramel color that compliments my skin tone. It's difficult to get that really flattering hair color for Asian skin that's not too blonde or brassy, but

I had to make sure Studio A gets the credit they deserve. Of course, not every salon or individual stylist is perfect, but I think Studio A definitely strives for the ultimate happy customer. Like me! If they ever do wrong, I'm sure they would do what it takes to fix the issue. I believe that this current location is a newer spot for them. Like many salons that have taken over the Houston area, this quaint house-inverted-salon is mega chÍc, clean and comfortable. The entire team that day was courteous and welcoming from the moment I entered their door. Also, if you get a chance, please take

David! Thank you for taking the time out to see me on my sisters referral. Since she doesn't yelp- I'm doing this review based on both her past experiences & my 1st visit to David & Studio A Salon. The salon smartly shares space with Mai's nails so while you get your hair done- the bf or significant other can get their nails did:)
I wanted to go darker for the winter & lighten later on through the new year pleasing my conservative mother & sister in the process.
David nailed the color & definitely got the cut I wanted while discussing my color options for later
