The Parlour

Finally found a salon that I can trust. I have crazy thick, curly hair, and finding a salon that I feel comfortable with has proven to be difficult! I initially started coming here after being referred by one of my customers when I worked retail, and I’ll never look back!
Ashley does the most amazing job cutting, coloring, and blowdrying my hair. I feel like I usually spend 2+ hours in the salon for a basic cut and blowdry, but Ashley is quick, efficient, and just fantastic. She’s taken my hair to a rich dark brown, put in highlights, and is always honest if I’m asking for too much or if something won’t look right.
I’ve also had my hair done by Kaitlin who is amazing. She offered to fix my hair when it was a disaster (I went way too blonde and looked like a wreck), and she transformed my hair into a natural dark brown. Kaitlin also does a great job blow drying and cutting my hair — She cut my hair a couple weeks ago and I’ve gotten more compliments than ever!

Let me just say my hair has never looked better. I moved to Houston a year ago and was referred to Megan by a friend whose hair I ALWAYS envied. When she came back from the salon it always looked so natural and healthy!
Since I started going my hair has gotten so much healthier and I always leave ecstatic!
I used to always worry before a hair appointment wondering if the style/​color wanted would look bad, but now I never worry. Megan would not do something to my hair that would look bad! She is incapable of performing poorly. She’s perfect! Not to mention the hair washing part that literally almost puts me to sleep. I leave relaxed, happy, and feeling FABULOUS!
Highly recommend The Parlour to anyone in the Houston area! They take great care of you and you’ll never leave disappointed!

Ashley has been doing my hair for years now and at random times I have strayed away and always come back realizing she is the best there is! She does my blonde hi-​lights so well and we have great convos it’s my favorite appointment every few weeks!

Megan is great! I have been going to her since she before she owned her own studio! I am so excited she finally has her own place. The parlour is really nice and they hair massage is awesome. Megan always knows exactly what to do and is my favorite hair stylist. She cuts amazing!!! Thanks Megan! I would recomend her to all my friends. I am brunette but I know she does a mean beach blond girl highlight job!

My hairstylist was Kimberly.
She was very sweet and gentle, far far far from the usual self-​absorbed hairstylist you normally run into in the Montrose area.
Kimberly asked me what I like and disliked about my hair. Payed attention on my need to keep my length in order to donate hair. Very sweet lady.

I LOVE going to get my hair cut with Holly Hammond. She has cut my hair for years and does the most amazing job. I don’t trust just anyone with my hair, so when I moved to Corpus Christi a couple of years ago, I did not bother to find a new hair dresser. I still make my appointments to see Holly when I am in Houston.
Great job for a good price.

Decided on a whim to chop a drastic 8.5 inches off my golden locks that I spent almost 3 years growing and maintaining. A co-​worker recommended Sharon at The Parlour, and needless to say, I am so glad she did! I’ve never enjoyed a short haircut more in my life. It’s fun and flirty and perfect for Fall — or so I hear. I’m not big on trends, but apparently everyone else in my office who did notice the change, is. I also have a few hairstylist friends who like to stick their noses in freshly cut hair and examine every last strand down to the root. Once I received approval from those guys, I knew I’d found a great salon — and stylist! Sharon’s been cutting hair for 15 years so she’s professional, but not afraid to have fun via conversation. Haven’t had color done here yet, but come Winter, I’m doing something Jennifer Aniston-​esque with Sharon, hands down. Plus, you can’t beat $ 50 for a cut and style after hours. Though I did have the hook-​up, I wouldn’t be surprised if once you’ve had your hair cut with Miss Sharon once, she didn’t start doing special jobs for you too!

What a cute salon! The people that work here are so nice and I felt very comfortable. I got my haircut from Leidi and she is just the sweetest! Very nice and easy person to talk to. I told her exactly how I wanted my hair and she made a few suggestions and viola! My haircut was so beautiful when she was done! I wanted something stylish and fresh for the summer but not too edgy since I work in a corporate enviroment and Leidi knew how to do just that. I went from having long boring hair with a few layers, to a cute long a-​line bob that really brightens up my face. Although the cut was a little more pricey then what I’m used to, it was worth it! I highly recommend Leidi. Don’t be fooled by how young she looks because you can tell she has a lot of experience and is very talented. I definately will be coming back. Thanks Leidi!

Hate my haircut by Leidi. Had it done about 5 months ago. Still trying to grow out my bangs. :(

I’m always a little nervous going to a new stylist, but it was time to bite the bullet. I requested Sharon after reading the Unilocal reviews, and I agree with all of them, she was great! She took 5 or 10 minutes just talking to me about what type of cut I wanted and what I was looking for. She was very easy to talk to and very straightforward. She didn’t cut any more or any less than I asked. I’m very happy with my cut and will definitely go back!

I have recently returned to Houston after several years so am trying to re-​establish my routine. I chose this salon based on the excellent reviews and Sharon did not dissappoint! She listened to my needs, made suggestions and gave me tips on options to style my hair taking into consideration it’s natural inclinations. I was surprised as although I loved my last hair dresser, he cut my hair a certain way and never mentioned why but now after going to Sharon, I know the reason! I will definately be going back and received several compliments from strangers after leaving the salon!

Okay so — I went to H3 for the first time last week. and lets just say i LOVED it. I lived in Houston for about 2.5 years and just moved back last week. and I really needed a new hair stylist. After talking with my friends about salons, and checking out
, I figured I would check out H3. Sharon does my color and Leidi does the hair cut. Both are absolutely amazing!!! Sharon listened to me and gave me her ideas as well. and when I wanted it a little darker than what I got, she automatically fixed it! Dont be scared to tell them exactly what you want. Leidi also was amazing — all I wanted was a trim and ideas with my bangs and she did a fantastic job. and didn’t cut off 5 inches like a lot of stylists do when all you want is a trim.
Both stylist are fun to talk to. such a delight! I have been to about 3 different stylists in Houston and I really love the ladies at H3. It’s also a small and cute salon — not so uppity or chaotic like some big salons.
They are decently priced for Houston — but still more than I’d like to pay. Then again, I am from a small town where color is $ 30 and cuts are $ 15 so that doesn’t say much!
While I enjoyed the stylists, I will not be returning. I just dont get charging $ 55 for a cut and $ 115 for highlights? Money does not grow out of the precious booty.

SHARON IS AWESOME! I recently moved to Houston… now 6 months and 3 hairdressers later I have finally found Sharon. She makes you feel totally comfortable, listens to what you want but also has her own ideas to help you out. She is VERY reasonably priced! For cut and highlights. Her schedule is also very flexible. If you need an appt last minute she will totally work with you! It’s a very small salon and a relaxing, cozy feel. They stylists there work when they have appts. So it’s not a crazy, high-​drama salon where they have set hours and charge way too much! If you have a weird schedule and need an appt at a non-​traditional salon time, Sharon can totally help you out. Give her a shot! She’s a sweetheart and very very good at what she does. I went to her after reading the reviews on Unilocal and I’m so glad I did.

The infamous Leidi is now working at H3 Salon! She’s been cutting my hair since 2003-​ish and I’ll keep following her — she’s that good! Call her directly to make an appointment 832−623−8309 This place seems a little more conservative than Soak, but the parking situation is much better.

Yay Leidi! I finally bit the bullet and chopped of my wedding hair. We’re talking 6 – 7 inches of hair off my head. Since I’m fairly new to Houston, I checked out Unilocal and settled on Leidi at H3 salon. All the stylists at H3 are by appointment only, so you can either call the main number (listed here) or the stylist’s personal number. Leidi’s number is her cell phone, but don’t feel weird about calling – she loves new clients! My hair is kinda complicated… I’ve been thermally straightening it for the past two years, but I’m letting it grow out now so it’s sort of a mixture of textures. Leidi helped me find a style that works for me, and even taught me how to style my new bangs!
The blue and white building has a huge 701 in front of it, so it’s hard to miss. You have to use the call box to buzz up and get access to the building. The salon itself is very small, but that makes it very quiet and relaxing. I felt at ease without all the normal salon-​goers staring at me.
I’m so happy to have a new go-​to girl in Houston. Leidi charges $ 55 flat, so that was a steal for my long, complicated hair. Call Leidi today, 832−623−8309!
P. S. Her name is pronounced like «Lady».
P.P.S No, she did not give me a ‘fro.

Sharon is an incredibly talented hair stylist. I have very unfortunate hair. It’s fine and very difficult to deal with. I am NEVER happy with the way it is cut or styled uless Sharon does it. So, as you can imagine, I am thrilled that she’s moved back to Houston.
She’s incredibly personable, down to earth (a quality I really appreciate after many uppity salon experiences) and her rates are very affordable.
She also does hair and makeup for special occasions and weddings (she did my wedding) and you might be surprised by her low rates.

So I’m a hairdressers worst nightmare… don’t get haircuts cuts often, never gone to the same hairdresser twice (even when i have liked my hair), not the fun chatty client who doesn’t want to pay for therapy sessions (I’m the magazine reader). I don’t want to spend time a lot of time fussing with my hair yet I expect it to magically look great on its own. I don’t even know how to style with a blow dryer.
The last time I went a hairdresser (which I bravely confessed to Sharon) was September (meaning last September). She took it well, there was no fainting involved. It was in Austin, so I relied on Unilocal to find a place in Houston and stumbled on to H3.
So this place is in a nice building in the Montrose area WITH A PARKING LOT (big plus since I am incompetent when it comes to parallel parking). This is an appointment only place so I was all by my lonesome which I liked. Sharon was attentive and didn’t just listen to what I wanted or didn’t just give me advice, we had a conversation. I told her what I have done in the past and what I had in mind. She gave her opinion (in a non-​pushy way) and also explained her reasoning.
Sharon is bubbly and super nice and as she was cutting my hair, lo and behold, I became that chatty client and couldn’t stop myself. So here I was talking, as if I’ve known her for years and next thing I know she’s all done. I loved it. exactly what I wanted. and have finally developed a loyalty to a hairdresser which «conveniently» happens now that I’m getting ready to move! But I’ve already decided Sharon is my «go-​to-​girl» (I just have to «go» a lot further than planned).
My cut and color was only $ 120 which was less than half of what I paid many moons ago at the salon in Austin.
Note: When you call, leave a message there is no receptionist to answer the phone and it seems like the hairdressers are only present if they have an appointment.
Also they don’t have a credit card machine so come with cash or a checkbook.
So finally, (in full Oscar Award style) I would like to thank Unilocal for helping me find a hair salon I freakn love and also God (cause you always have to thank God right?), oh and my mama if she’s reading this. actually anyones mama will do.

Leidi is now at H3 salon! She always does what I ask and I leave feeling bouncy and beautiful. The new salon is kind of small, but Leidi is here and that’s all that matters!

I was long overdue for an actual hair cut and when my trusted stylist, Leidi informed me she had moved from Soak Salon to H3, of course I had to follow her! Just got back from H3 Salon… a little hidden treasure on Richmond near Montrose. The salon is located in a building that looks so chic and industrial. The salon itself is beatifully decorated with black and white fixtures and retro hair product ads from the past, matted and framed. The place is cozy and gives off good vibes!
I love the fact that this place is by appointment only which means you will get the time and attention you deserve while getting your hair cut or colored.
Make sure to go see my hair lady, Leidi! I’ll bet you you will leave completely satisfied! Again, she’s by appointment only so give her a ring… 832−623−8309
