Ruby’s Salon & Spa

I came here on a Saturday afternoon for eyebrow threading and underarm waxing. Someone greeted me as soon as I walked in and someone else promptly led me to a chair for threading. The person who did the threading was very gentle and did a very good job.
The same person did the waxing. She led me to a room in the back and covered the table with brand new paper. She was gentle and thorough. My only complaint is that she left the door open while I put my shirt back on. For the price, however, I’m very willing to overlook this :).
I’m very pleased to have finally found a salon that does cheap threading, waxing, and hair cuts all under one roof.
Another plus of this place is that they give you a punchcard and you get a free threading or waxing on your tenth visit. No expiration!

Pooja is all you need to know, she’s been doing my brows for 8 years and it referred about 10 ppl to here gm who are faithful, I’m a cosmetologist (we are the pickiest out there) she’s never not done a PERFECT job!!!

My first time and I just walk in on Friday lunch time. Thankfully I got parking spot. I m in and out within 15 minutes for eyebrows, upper lips n chins. Thank you! Will be back to try facials :-)

I’ve gone here a probably 5 times or so and they have all been pretty decent for the most part. However, I went there this past Friday and the lady who did my full face pulled off my skin and now I see scars on my face and redness. This is absolutely ridiculous. She was being lazy because everyone knows you have to be gentle when waxing the face and thread whatever is left. Apparently she did not want to do this. I wish I had gotten her name because I would’ve added it here. Most probably going back to get a refund or least show the manager what she did.

I’ve been looking for an eyebrow threading place since moving back to Houston 3 years ago. And found this place based on my friends’ Unilocal check-​in.
I’ve come here a handful of times to get my eyebrows done. It’s cheap, fast, and never have to wait for walk-​in. These ladies are straight to the point. There’s not much consultant so make sure you tell them what you want before sitting down.
No one really introduce themselves so you don’t really know what you get until they’re done. I don’t think I ever had the same person to do my eyebrows twice.
So far I’m pretty happy with this place and will keep coming back to get my eyebrows done here.

This place was a nice little salon that reminded me of little India. The girl who did my facial was friendly and nice. The prices are unbeatable. However when I was sitting down I watched one of the employees place a used dirty towel back into the clean box. That was pretty disgusting.
I would return to give them another chance but I probably wouldn’t get the same services I did yesterday, due to the possible reuse of face towels.

Came in for a nose piercing… Done by the owner quick & easy $ 20 includes stud & they give you an antibiotic ointment for after care thanks!!!

Like this place. Good service for the price.

Ruby’s is awesome. I’ve had my hair highlighted, colored, cut and it was way under a typical salon cost and I was super happy. I also came here to get an updo and professional makeup done to go with my Sari that I procured from around the corner. I regularly come for eyebrow and upper lip threading. They are fast and I’m lucky that my face doesn’t break out. I have also gotten a facial with the gold paint, which is divine. They have a facial specials on Mondays and Tuesdays, too!

Stopped by this salon while on the way home, I was kind of hesitant to go in as the front doesn’t look so flashy. But ’cause they have pretty good reviews, I decided to put my face on trial. I was greeted and seated in 5 mins, not knowing what to expect for my first eyebrows threading. It was little bit painful at first but I kinda liked it (weird, more like a tickle, ant-​biting kind of pain). She was done in 5 mins and my eyebrows looked great. I literally felt clean!
Pleased with the results, I decided to try out their herbal face polish. The lady painted my whole face with some strong smell green mud that was quite burning. After 10 mins, she cleansed my face and I could feel my skin smoother, and less oily. As I am in bed writing this review 7 hours later, my skin is bright, soft and no more oil. I don’t know what she applied on my face but it worked!
Well, $ 15 for a mini herbal facial and $ 8 for eyebrows and upper lip threading. They even have 10 times, 1 free deal. Guess who would become a frequent customer?

I mainly come here for eyebrow and upper lip threading. They do an outstanding job. Prices are cheap and the quality of work is awesome. The ladies in there are always friendly and very quick. It’s become a sort of ritual to go get my eyebrows done every couple of weeks.

I have had three services here, and all three had terrible results.
When I got waxed here my body broke out in whiteheads the day after and it lasted about a week. I never got waxed here again.
I got the hair oil treatment one day and they put hot oil in your dry hair then use a $ 0.10 comb to brush out your hair starting from the roots down… NOT from the tip– up, so needless to say they BROKE A TON of my Beautiful Hair off… then they send you home dripping in oil. This service was more damaging to my hair than restoring. I never got that service again.
Lastly, today was the WORST THREADING EXPERIENCE of my life. I told the girl that I like the base of my brow «BIG» I said just clean it up a bit under and on the outer edge edge. I explained 4 times that I wanted to keep my natural shape in the base of my brow that is closest to my nose. Well… I now am at home with NEOSPORIN and an ICE PACK on my face because not only did they CUT INTO MY SKIN 6 TIMES leaving razor blade like marks on my face they also CUT OFF MY BROW that I told them to keep… I was so OFFENDED when the girl tried to tell me that she only «CUT 1 HÅIR OFF» when she basically gave my eyebrow a HAIRCUT… totally RUINED my natural shape… I didn’t even let her finish the second brow because she was so combative and would not even admit that she cut my brow shape off and did EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I ASKED HER FOR! And when I told her «Why did you CUT IT? she said word for word «I CUT 1 HAIR» …
I started crying as soon as walked out of the salon and I cried the whole way home.
Now my eyebrows are not only totally fucked up and not matching but I have welts of CUTS on my face from where the thread cut into my skin.
I will NEVER return to this place ever again in my life.
If someone I HATE asks me for a Salon Recommendation I will totally tell them about this place.
Read the reviews, it seems like 1 – 2 threaders here are quite talented so I would stick with them if you are broke & brave enough to go.
Me however, I am DONE with this place. I gave them many chances and I’m not going through this torture again. I do not feel like this place is a Legit «Salon» its more like women «pretending» to know what they are doing. at your expense.
–NEVER AGAIN

I have my regular monthly facial visit at Aisha (Hillcroft). I wanted to try Ruby’s for a change.
I came in for my eyebrow and facial.
I had a Shenaz herbal facial. The threading was done pretty quickly and nicely.
Facial included steam treatment for 15 to 20 min (longer than I would expect) and 5 min message and a face pack. The face pack was left on for 10 mins and the beautician removed a bit from the face so that I can open my face and wash myself (seriously!!).
The entire facial was $ 35. It is less expensive and expect the service to be cheap too.
During the entire routine,
1. No privacy was maintained. Some other beautician would show up and leave the door opened. Again this is a unisex parlor, so you just got to maintain the close door policy.
2. Rude behavior from the beautician.
3. Pack and gel cream were also applied on my hair and was not washed off by the beautician.
4. I have never been asked to clean the pack by myself. Beauticians in Aisha and Neethas have always removed it.
The moment I opened the door, I was showed to the chair for eye brow. Thats good, but since it is my first time in Ruby’s, I would like to atleast read about their different services before sitting in the chair.
All in all, the service is fast not great. Basics are left uncovered. You donot do stream treatment for the 20 mins. Thats way too long. Actual face massage is more than 5 mins. Also remove completely the face pack.
I will not go back to this place. Neither would I recommend here. The place to me seems like a bazzar. As an Indian, I have realised that the beauticians always behave rudely to me and keep giving a really nonsense advice about how to live with your husband and so on (I would rather sleep off instead of hearing the negative advice about marital life from them).
I would continue going to Aisha on Monday for 50% off on facials with Nighat.

This is my go-​to place to get my eyebrows threaded. Very cheap and fast. 5 $ for eyebrows. They also do waxing and many other things.

Facial left my face with 2 blotches.
Kept getting asked repeatedly if I wanted my eyebrows done, and politely kept responding no.
Hair color nowhere near how it was supposed to look. It came out darker and some parts brighter. I’ll wear it up for now at work and down when I go out.
Big signs everywhere how they are not responsible for your items. Make sure to keep your stuff with you.
Bathroom super tiny.
Parking is really difficult and drivers in parking lot make it worse.
I’ll try another place for facial. Only good thing was my car was still there where I parked it. I did hear my alarm go off once while inside shop.

I love them! The customer service is always great! Parking is ehh okay. They are extremely busy on the weekends so I suggest weekday visits. I love my henna! Which was only 20 bucks! This was my first henna tattoo in America, I normally get them overseas on vacation. But i always come here for my threading which is also fairly priced.

This is a great place for men eyebrows! They are basically eyebrow artist when it comes to threading! I have gone to several places around Houston and they have been a disappointment. The women at Ruby’s Salon know how to clean up my eyebrows without making them to femine. They are also very affordable and take walk ins! They also have other men grooming services, however I have only used them for eyebrows.
I will say the neighborhood is kind of shady, but if you go during the day you will be fine. There is also ample parking in the front of the salon.

I really only get my brows done from here, I rather pay $ 5 than $ 15 – 20 at mall! These ladies do a great job and also offer other services such as hair cut and Brazilian waxing – it is a spa! Upperlip $ 3. If someone did a good job, jot down their name and see her on the days she’s there!
Rule of thumb: always bring cash to Harwin/​hilcroft!
If you are paying with card: $ 8 minimum so if you get your brows and your upper lip done then perfect! =]
Comments: this plaza can get REALLY busy! when you come at a time their not busy they’ll spend more time making your brows look perfect. Come during week days or morning.
If you only have Saturday’s off come in the morning! Open at 10am. If you know some hairy men, bring them too!
So overall:
–Bring cash
–come during non busy peak hours
–brows: $ 5, upper lip $ 3
I usually just bring $ 10, and tip $ 2.
Enjoy!

Great price for eyebrow threading and was in and out in no time. I like that they are open later hours since I don’t live nearby but prefer to venture down to this area to get my eyebrows done.
Like others, I had driven by this plaza a million times but never noticed it since I usually went to Aisha’s. I got in a bind because Aisha’s closed early for a religious holiday I wasn’t aware of and thought there must be another one nearby. Thanks for Unilocal,came across this and now will be frequenting this place more!

Pooja is my person for threading. She is worth the wait. The parking lot is always packed at lunch time because of restaurant a few doors down. Eyebrows lip and chin cost is $ 11.00.
I would suggest going early on weekends because this area gets a lot of shoppers.
Pooja pays attention to detail not just by looking but by feel. No appointments at this place.
