Review: I’m pretty particular. My last stylist cut my hair for 30+ years, but I couldn’t stand the commute any longer. I took a leap of faith and put my hair destiny in Gus’ capable shears. He always has me looking my best; either for the next business meeting or a night in with the family.

Review: Since I’ve moved to Houston 2 years ago Gustav has been brilliantly cutting my hair. Not only does he listen to my cooking and life experiences but he also listens carefully to how I want my hair and does it exactly right each time. Highly recommend!!

Review: It had been a few months since I had gotten my hair “done” with color. I came to Shelby desperate because the last time I had it done (elsewhere) it was horrible- my hair got completely damaged and dried and the color tone did not work out. So I came to Shelby and she was a Miracle worker!!! She got my hair back shiny, smooth and such a great color for me!! She was also super friendly and so easy to connect with!Ive been back since then for toning and partial highlights and I feel confident that my hair is in excellent hands with Shelby! Ive gotten soooo many compliments on my color and my shine- so im very excited that my hair is back on its way to healthy!

Review: My girl Fryda is AMAZING! She’s been my stylist for a little over a year now and I plan on keeping her forever.My most recent style was a complete transformation – She cut more than 6inches off and colored my hair a beautiful solid brunette. During the process she was very honest about making such a big change and supported me along the way!Fryda also loves to keep up on her education, so you know she is going to give you the freshest hair style.I just love that she is easy to talk to, an amazing artist, and she truly wants to customize your experience.
