Soho Salon

I don’t say this lightly when I say that Nathan gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had. Ever, seriously. I’ve explained to a number of different stylists exactly what I wanted with several picture examples and specifics but have always come away with results of close but not it, kind of okay, not even close. Not only was I so delighted with the cut and the look as it grew out over the time between appts. I was even happier and happier. It just kept looking good and held its style.

I’m updating my review based on my last haircut from the salon. I was in a pinch, and all the stylists I’ve used previously were booked– so I decided to get a haircut from Nathan– who I had never used before. He was nice enough, and while I didn’t necessarily have a «bad» experience, I didn’t have quite the same experience as before.
The haircut itself was fine. Not amazing, but fine. I get a very simple haircut, so I don’t expect to be wowed. My trim took a rough 10 minutes, and my «blowout» took another 45. I’m used to this, my hair is long and incredibly thick. After waiting 15 minutes, the appointment ran behind. The last 10 minutes of my appointment consisted of the receptionist repeatedly coming in and informing Nathan that the next customer had arrived early and was waiting, which made me feel very rushed and frankly guilty– like my hair was taking too long.
I was sent off to pay and was charged $ 50, which is $ 15 more than what I’ve been charged by all the other stylists. Looking back, I should have asked why the cut cost so much more. Maybe it was because I had a different stylist, maybe it was because I asked for a blowout. Not sure. Either way, I was disappointed.
Worst part was as I left the salon and drove home, I felt of the back of my hair and realized it was still damp. My «blowout» consisted of a blow dry that left my hair pretty dry, slightly poufy, and not even completely dry. I’ve had blowouts over the years, and while they do take time with my hair– they’ve always left my hair shiny and bouncy. I’d honestly rather have a stylist straighten my hair than say that they can give a me a blowout when they clearly can’t in an hour.
So some places that the salon could improve:
Be clear about pricing.
Work on scheduling– not only did I have to wait for my appointment, but I was rushed out of my own, because we were booked too close together
And just overall increasing customer service would be nice. I’ve had to wait a minimum of 10 minutes for every appointment I’ve had here. Receptionists are rarely at the front desk. I leave feeling rushed, and a lot of the times no one really even asks if everything went well. I like the salon, it’s convenient for my location and they usually have appointments available, but this last visit left a bad taste in my mouth and now that it’s about time for me to book another I think I’ll be looking elsewhere.

I never write these but I feel inclined to do so after my recent bang trim. I’ve had my bangs trimmed for the past 7 years and I’ve never once felt like a person has done a bad job. Everyone has a different technique so I would never try to stop someone from doing something the way they normally do it especially since I don’t cut hair. I had been to Nathan before and enjoyed our conversation and I like the ambiance of the salon so I booked him again. He more or less took the scissors and without asking me anything just cut my bangs off in one cut without measuring anything or looking to see if there were stray hairs or each side was the same. I wanted them a little shorter and I asked him to do so and he just repeated what he did before and chopped them off in one cut. I have a hard time being confrontational and I wasn’t sure if I was being picky but when I look at them now there are stray hairs falling in my face and My bangs are uneven and very choppy. I won’t be going back. I have appreciated the kindness of the woman who greets people at the salon and I like the feel overall but it looks like a five year old with scissors cut my bangs. I understand the service might be frustrating since there isn’t a lot of money involved but it’s still my hair and I expect to trust whoever I go to to cut it well.

My mom and I go to Fahimeh Doroodchi for our haircuts, color, and now for the Brazilian Blowout. I’m so unbelievably amazed at how soft the blowout makes hair. She did an AMAZING job! Love love love!

I do not recommend going to Nathan at Soho Salon for coloring.
I went to see him a few months ago to get caramel highlights on my dark brown hair. It was my first time to have my hair professionally colored– and I was a little nervous– so I brought plenty of pictures and explained what I wanted. When Nathan finished my hair 3 hours later, my hair was completely bleached blonde and did not resemble anything close to what I wanted– no highlights, just uneven blonde color all over, with my roots still dark. (Picture posted) When he finished I knew it was way, way too light– and I told him that– but he reassured me it looked good and that «in a few weeks I could come back in for a color glaze.» It wasn’t until I got home and looked at the pictures of what I wanted initially that: 1) it wasn’t even close to what I originally showed him– my brown hair was completely gone (except at my roots) and 2) he had completely fried, damaged and ruined my hair. Not only was the color bleached out and uneven with hints of orange and rose gold, the texture of my hair felt dead and disgusting.
I called the Salon the next day to speak with him about a refund, but was told he was with another customer. The owner (who was very nice) ended up calling me back two days later and apologized for him, saying «Nathan told me what happened, he did an Ombré earlier that day so maybe that’s what happened.» I couldn’t believe that he knew he had messed up my hair but still let me walk out of the salon without offering to fix it. The owner offered for me to come back in for a free deep conditioning treatment (I declined, as I had already made arrangements to get my hair fixed elsewhere) and she also was ready to give me a full refund, which I greatly appreciated and accepted.
While the owner was very nice and apologetic, Nathan’s lack of response and customer service was extremely disappointing after he ruined my hair. I didn’t ever hear back for a clear explanation or apology from him. Based on my experience I will not be returning and would not recommend going to see Nathan at Soho Salon for any hair coloring.

I am continually impressed with Fahimeh’s work! She is a great stylist. Today, I went in for my appointment and simply told her that I trusted her opinion and gave her the reigns. I left loving my new haircut! She is honest with her clients and does a great job!

I got very pretty haircut here today. I like their environment that looks exquisite even it looks low-​key outside. Their front desk lady looks gorgeous and elegant and I like her haircut.

Go see Alaina, especially if you want bright colors in your hair! She’s such a great stylist and has been putting teal and purple in my hair for nearly a year now. I get so many compliments on it, and it’s all because of her!

I’m scared to bleach my own hair, so when I decided to do unnatural colors, I came to see Alaina at Soho based on a recommendation from a friend. The past two times I’ve been, she’s done a great job and is great to converse with! The color always turns out soooooo pretty. Would highly recommend seeing her if you want some awesome color.
As for the salon itself, it has a nice, comfortable vibe and everyone is having a good time in there. ALSO– THEY HAVE COMPLIMENTARY COFFEE (SUPER PLUS FOR ME).
I’ve recommended this place to a few friends, and the ones who tried it– loved it. Definitely book your next appt here :)

Salon is great super great atmosphere. Had my hair color done by Leslie. She did a very nice job. Then changed to Sara!

Love the studio! Love the natural no chemical coloring! Love Nick! He does wonders for me and my long thick curly hair, last time I was in he did my color as well as a cut, it looked so wonderful and vibrant. Hair is so important you have to wear it everyday. I would highly recommend Nick and Soho!

Alaina did a great job with my cut and color (highlights and low). I gave her a whole laundry list of how I like to wear my hair and how I style it and what I wanted it to be able to do, and basically said, «do what you think looks good, as long as it does (all of the following things).» She really listened and sure enough she did everything I asked. Plus, the color made my hair feel fantastic. The salon is cool, with interesting art from a variety of local and not so local artists. Im so glad I’ve found a salon and stylist worth making routine trips!

I would not recommend this salon. I needed to find a new salon because I didn’t like the one I was previously going to. I had an appointment scheduled for 3:00 so I showed up at the right time and when I walked in there was no one at the reception table. I waited for at least 5 minutes before someone actually showed up. I told the receptionist my name and then he said that someone would be with me soon, so I took a seat and waited. The hairstylist I was scheduled with came in and said that she would be with me in 15 minutes. I ended up waiting there for 50 long minutes.
I will be sure not to come to this salon again and I will definitely not recommend it to my friends. If someone has an appointment scheduled then they shouldn’t be waiting there for 50 minutes. That defeats to purpose of having an appointment. I guess I have to keep searching for my new salon…

After years of searching, & multiple salons, I finally found someone who does exactly what I want, perfectly. Nathan is amazing!

Was tired of my old salon (Davanti, new owners and lots of snotty workers), but was afraid to try a new stylist. I have long healthy hair that I like to be layered perfectly, I personally, on me, hate choppy layers. My hair is fine and I have a lot of it and I want it to lay pretty. Nathan did an excellent job. I WILL be going back. They price based on knowledge of the hairdresser, so ya, this isn’t some lame procuts or something. The only complaint I have is that whoever is supposed to be sitting at the front desk seems like she was running around aimlessly and not really there to greet people as they walked it. But, she was nice.

I love Soho Salon! I have long, thick hair that other stylists have often been unable to properly deal with, but Terry is the absolute best: I’ve gotten the best haircuts of my life from him.
The ambiance of Soho is really nice– the salon is built inside a big house but is clean and charming inside.
And the prices! So affordable. And if you are a repeat customer, you often receive coupons for future visits. A must!

I came here after a friend suggested her stylist to me so I made an appointment. Gail was awesome! She’s super friendly, nice, and a great stylist. She’s passionate about her job and a dedicated stylist. She worked with me to get my hair exactly how I wanted it, even staying extra hours to get it the correct shade (went from colored brown back to blonde).
I love the atmosphere of the salon. It’s a unique house with great design and décor. I haven’t been to any of the other stylists so I can’t comment on them. The only reason I probably won’t be going back is because it’s too pricey for my broke student budget (however, I know Gail is willing to work with you). I would definitely recommend Gail if you have the money to spend though! I totally trust her with a hair emergency, especially color.

I got my eyebrows waxed here. After she said she was having problems with the cloth strips, I should have ran out of there. She then plucked the rest. They are not looking good. I didn’t pay because I wasn’t happy, and they look awful. I usually go to Nordstom Spa in Dallas… guess I will be making the drive to go back there once these grow out again.

It took two tries to find a colorist that I like at SoHo, but Kelly is awesome!!! I have super-​thick, long (bleached) blond hair that is pretty hard to color correctly, but Kelly gave me perfect, natural looking highlights and lowlights. I haven’t been this happy with my hair in a few years, to say the least.
The atmosphere is also great. I love the homey aesthetic and the local artwork. It’s just chic enough, while still being eclectic and interesting. Always something to stare at while your foils are processing.

I followed Nathan to Soho when he started working here years ago. As long as I live in Denton, I won’t go anywhere else! Even when I moved to Ft. Worth, I still came back for my hair appointments. Everyone is friendly, laid back, and great at what they do. The art on the walls is tasteful and usually made my a local artist. Carenina really seems to take care of her Soho family! It always smells like someone is cooking something divine in the kitchen and everyone who works there is always smiling. Love it!
UPDATE: I moved AGAIN, this time to Allen, and I still drive back to Denton for Nathan! Him and the salon deserve the loyalty and praise.
