Damsels & Blokes

Been going here over a year now. Meghan is my colorist, and Shannon is my stylist. Ever since I started going here I noticed a huge difference in the health of my hair, and getting compliments on my color and cut a lot. The products are awesome too. Before now I’d never found a salon where I was happy with the people and the products. I go every three weeks to get my color touched up because my hair is growing like crazy now!

My first time here and the experience was positive! Didn’t have an appt but they were able to get me in. Elia did my haircut and she was very friendly. She listened to my hair concerns and was very gentle with cutting and styling my very thin hair. Which was a plus for me! I also noticed that many of the other hair stylist take their time with their clients. Overall great atmosphere! I plan to go back again :)

I want to start this review praising the patience of not only the staff but the customers that were in the salon when I was there… Long story short I had to bring my 13 month in with me and mid haircut he went full blown toddler in there and started to scream. I had to cut the appointment short and wasn’t able to get the «style» just the cut. Even though I kept apologizing not one person in there made it like they were upset. They just kept telling me it was ok and how they have all been through that. Which made me feel so much better about having to rush out.
Now on to the cut! I called and told them I could come in anytime during the day since I was off and I was coming Kingwood so I could just make a trip out of it. I mentioned to the hostess what I was wanting and she recommended Lauren. After the shampoo I showed a few pics and talked it over and she knew exactly what I was wanting. She was able to get the cut done but before she started to blow dry I had to leave. I took a quick look and was SOOOO happy with the length. When I got home I blew dry it out and ran over it with a straightener and was very happy with the final look. I went a little shortemoor than normal and I didn’t freak out! lol. Very happy with the understanding of the staff and the cut. I will be back for sure!

Very nice salon. Everyone here does a great job! I’ve been here twice and started coming here at the suggestion of my wife and daughter. So far, they have done a great job. I am a 60 year old male with, not much hair left, lol, so it’s important to me that my stylist does a good job. My wife and daughter look gorgeous so my recommendation is check this very nice salon out. You’ll be glad you did.

I have been going to Damsels & Blokes since January and am very happy coming here. I used to get my highlights a couple times a year and then do the root touch up myself. But Courtney does such a great job I go to her for that as well. Shannon cuts our hair as we request.
I love the way they coordinate my hair color and cut and feel like D&B is very organized.
Thanks!!!

I love this salon! Everythjng is clean and modern. The staff is super friendly as well. Courtney does an AMAZING job with color! :) Shannon also does an awesome job with haircuts.

Went to get my hair & make up done for prom, and WOW. Worst experience of my life. Not only did the stylist not listen to me about what I wanted for my hair & did what she wanted sloppily, when it was make up time, she grabbed a small bag of I’m assuming her make up to do it. Again, she did not listen to anything I said about wanting natural looking, maybe a smokey eye. She put on foundation that didn’t match my skin tone, crappy eyeliner, silver eyeshadow, and dollar store fake lashes. I didn’t have the courage to tell her, so I payed, left, & cried in my car. I ended up fixing the hair & completely redoing the make up when I got home. Worst service ever, never felt uglier & it was my prom night. Definitely do not recommend getting make up done. Hair depends on the stylist.

Vinnie, the owner, is customer focused. I called today after beind dissatisfied with my dye job, he offered to fix it free of charge. Even mentioned if I am still unhappy with my hair that he’d refund my money. Turned my bad experience into a not so bad one.

This is a review for the color correction only. I have never had a hair cut here. I found this salon through a friend after another salon ruined my hair color!
I went to another salon as a platinum blonde and showed the stylist the pictures of the blonde ombré that I wanted. She didn’t have to lighten my hair at all since it was already platinum. I wanted the top to be close to my natural color and then blend down into the platinum on bottom. It seemed very simple and I called several places and everyone told me it would be easy to do. My hair ended up way darker than I wanted with an odd orange tint on the top and the bottom of my hair was gray/​green. I almost didn’t go to work the next day.
Damsels and blokes totally saved my hair. I went in the day after the other salon destroyed my hair. She very upfront with what she would and not be able to do to my hair to not damage it. I appreciated the honesty and knew what to expect. I was so amazed when she finished. She took out all of the weird gray/​green color on the bottom and lightened the top so much! She then perfectly blended the colors. It didn’t look like a color correction it looked like I went to her the first time! She was so sweet!
I walked out looking and feeling fabulous and only paid $ 120 for 2 ½ hours of work.

I came into this salon for a color correction after a bad highlighting job. I agreed to pay 108/​hr to have my hair color evened out. I believed there was no way it would take longer than 2 hours. The blue-​haired colorist by the name of «Stevie» ended up dragging the process out over 4 hours. Out of desperation to get home to my sick son and seeing that my hair looked better, I paid the bill and went home. A few days later, the toner they put in my hair faded and the true color was very apparent. I have different shades of orange and yellow throughout my hair however my baby hair is platinum. I am so embarrassed to go out in public. I asked for a refund since they obviously did not color-​correct my hair. The owner told me indirectly, but obviously, that his «professional» colorists’ opinions were more important than the customers’ results. I tried to explain this is not good business practice and if I wanted this color job I would have purchased a $ 10 bleach box from Wal-​Mart. The customers happiness clearly is not as important as their desire to make money.

I have been coming to this salon for almost two years. The atmosphere is excellent. The salon is very open, bright and airy. Stylists and colorists are vibrant, energetic and talented people. Price for services are great. Stylists do not try to push products on you at every visit. Would not dream of going elsewhere.

Today was the 3^rd time I have tried this salon and every time it gets worse.
The colorist is great, but it’s hard to really mess up color these days.
The cuts are what I am talking about. The first time it wasn’t a horror show. It was just a miss. Luckily, she did a half way job and that was enough to keep my hair, although not great, at least not ruined.
The second time, I tried to use a picture, she gave me the DB look. laughing behind eyes that say, «I am an artist, you are my canvas, and I know best.»
This time I should have realized, BEWARE! Again, my hair wasn’t a nightmare, but it wasn’t EVEN close to what I asked for, even with a picture.
Of course, I tried again, but with a different stylist. I got the DB «look» right away, «how cute that you want to tell me how to do your hair.» But this time things went sinister. i got the haircut I wanted, and I was feeling so great, blissful even, that I didn’t stop him when he took the scissors out again and started to «texturize» my hair. I brought it up, asked him about it, and then wondered why he was texturizing it so much, but he seemed to be very precise, and I made the fatal error.
I trusted him. Now I have a hospital gown hair cut. A mangy dog hair cut.
No Hair in the back. No hair. Less than an inch in some places, horror death defying hair. Embarrassed to leave the house hair. So mad I am writing this review hair. I had shoulder length hair and I wanted a couple inches off.
He didn’t listen at the beginning.
He didn’t listen during the cut.
He didn’t ask a single question.
He didn’t let me see it before he finished.
I wish I had cut it myself.
And it was $ 110.00
Has anyone ever refused to pay for a haircut?
DO NOT GO HERE-​JUST DON’T-There is NO ONE in that shop for a reason!!!

Great place! The staff is friendly, well trained and professional. Best shampoo I’ve ever had! Community conscious, which is an important trait in a small business.

In high school, I only went to Toni & Guy, but after a few years, some of the stylists left and started their own salon, Damsels & Blokes. I have trusted them with my hair since I was 15, I am now 28. I think that is some serious loyalty! They have a new location open now on 290, and it’s just as amazing! Make sure you visit Danni for color & Vinnie for cut. The price can be a little steep, but you really pay for what you get. You will NOT be disappointed! I usually just go in, tell them what I want, and trust that they know exactly what they’re doing, and guess what? THEY always do! If you recommended friends & family you will receive discounts as well, so make sure you do! :)

One of the newer girls, (who I will not name), did my hair about 2 weeks ago and did a «barter» deal with me for a Brazilian Blowout Keratin Treatment. I bought her a tanning membership in exchange for free products (shampoo&conditioner) and a discount on the procedure — BOTH of which I was promised, BOTH of which I did not receive. After purchasing the products and the blowout itself, I ended up paying about, if not more than 3 times the amount I should have, on top of tipping her with a $ 70 bottle of tanning lotion.
To add to that terrible experience, my blowout really did nothing for the texture and health of my hair. My hair is barely less frizzy and it actually seems less healthy; It has actually started to fall out at an unhealthy, rapid rate since my appointment. I feel like it was a great waste of money and time.
Beautiful salon, friendly staff, but I had an awful experience and will NOT be returning.

So let me say that the set up of the salon is very appealing. That will be the last nice thing say here forward. First of all I had been growing my hair for about 3 years and made the decision finally to get my hair cut off. I had made it very clear to the hair stylist that I wanted to keep my pony tail. Before i knew it she had gathered my hair and began cutting. I said nicely that I thought I had asked to save my pony tail and the girl responded «oops» and said well gotta finish. Second the hair do I showed and the hair do I got was night and day. In short it was traumatizing and I haven’t really gone back to a hair stylist. These people have no respect for the customer.

I am beyond picky when it comes to my hair, and I like to change it frequently. This is the only place I would ever let touch my hair for the past two years. The colorists are the best part. The stylists are good too. It was hard for me to try and trust two different people to do my hair in one sitting. Although it seems like the way to do it. Not one hairdresser is good at everything. By specializing the staff it works! They also are constantly learning new techniques that are in style. I got the best ombré, highlights, and all over color at DB. I wish they would expand because now I have moved and I have to find someone new.
P. S. don’t get updos here (sorry) they are a perfect day to day salon!

I am really fussy about who cuts my hair. I have had too many disasters at the hands of other salons. Stevie does my color and Savon cuts my hair. They both always do a great job. The stylists are all Toni & Guy trained, so I know I’m always going to get a contemporary style. A little pricy, but I’m never disappointed when I get my «team».

Ripped off! Very disappointed and will never return. Called for same day appointment and was told «see you in a bit». Discussed pricing and kids’ ages on the phone. Arrived to find out they booked us for the next day. Frustrated, but agreed to return later. Again, discussed ages and rates since we had to change stylists. While paying, the lady asked my kid her age and said, «good, you are a woman». I reminded her that the rates were in the system and all this was disclosed for a second time in her presence.
No apologies or accountability here. Pathetic.
Damsels & Blokes overcharged me $ 19.00 and I was swindled!!!

2.5 stars
Sigh. I really wanted to love D&B: free blowouts anytime, the guy who cut my hair for almost eight years is one of the owners, and it’s five minutes from my parents’ house? Sounds perfect, right?
Well, first I gave them a try with the free blowout. They don’t take appointments for these, and you just have to hope someone is available. Someone was available, but the blowout was completely meh. She put so much product in my hair that it looked dirtier than when I walked in. And unlike other blowouts I’ve had, it didn’t last more than a day. There’s nothing special about how they blow it out, and they don’t ask how you’d like it styled. The people at the front desk also make you feel like a huge, moochin’ loser for even asking for their well-​advertised, free blowout. If you’re going to tout this service, don’t make people feel terrible about asking for it.
Then I had my old stylist cut my hair. I explained that I wanted no more than 2 inches off and long layers. I have no layers on the left side. The bottom is so bluntly cut that my hair has no movement. My mom arched an eyebrow when I came home with the cut — the ultimate sign of disapproval.
Here’s to prenatal pills for speedy growth before my next trip to D.C. — to see my old stylist.
