Cuts & Shades of Color

So thankful I found this place on Unilocal.My regular hair dresser got her degree and is no longer cutting hair so I had to find a new stylist. I had already tried some of else at Hair Island and was not satisfied. I came here with better expectations due to the reviews and they were spot on. Dariela did a spectacular job on my hair. Wash, cut, blow and style for a great price but varies w hair length. She took her time and you can tell truly loves what she does. She is spanish speaking which I didnt mind as I speak spanish too, but she did understand English. For those of you who don’t there are other stylists there who look like they do a great job too. I can always tell if they did a good job on the cut when I go home and wash and style and curl my hair and it was perfect! I will definitely be going back and highly recommend this place. I wouldn’t reccomended going if you are in a rush as they do take their time but they do a phenomenal job!

I’ve been in San Antonio for about 4 years and have been «salon hopping» I have yet to find somewhere that I feel completely comfortable going to and some get I can trust my hair i can trust my hair with. This place was fantastic. I cut off about 3 inches today and i got exactly what I asked for. 0 complaints and next time I decide to color my hair I’ll be coming back to try them out.

This was my second visit. The first time I only had time to get my hair colored. Miriam did a great job with the coloring. She asked if I wanted a cut, okay why not? I was surprised, she can cut. I thought I was going to have to teach her like I did my last cutter.
The salon is pleasant, the employees are super friendly. I will make this my place to go for my hair needs. I really like the care Miriam gives you when doing your hair, I wish I could go there sooner than 3 weeks!

Ariana did my cut and highlights with a color and did amazing!!! Best haircut I have had here in San Antonio

I am new to San Antonio, I read the wonderful reviews on Unilocal and decided to take a chance. I got a hair cut and ombré hair color by Miriam. She was very helpful and has great knowledge on all this. I definitely be going back!!!

This is my 2^nd review of Cuts & Shades of Color. I’ve actually been using Cuts & Shades for about a year now. I think I found them through here. My very first color experience with Ariana was awesome. I was just coming for my roots and she matched my color perfectly. Not only did she match it but the color was rich and warm and shiny. At first, I went to Ariana for color and someone else for a cut. Well, now, Ariana does it all. She listens to my crazy ideas and tries to model my hair after them. I can imagine how hard that must be when I have something in mind and she can only guess at what that is. This past summer I asked for highlights. OMG, she did a wonderful job. We started with just a few pieces in front and then the next time I went crazy with them. My hair is short so I can experiment. Both ladies are awesome. I am partial to Ariana but Mariam is very nice too. And she does a good job. It’s not a fancy place but they pride themselves on their work. It’s clean and friendly and cozy. You’ll look good and you won’t empty your bank account doing so :)

I just moved to San Antonio from Arizona. I absolutely loved my hairstylist in Tucson, but was searching high and low for a match in Texas. I found this place. I had my hair done by Miriam. I came in with specific color matches for my highlights. Miriam was great and gave me ideas about how I could change my hair up (but I’m a little particular to my old color). She matched it almost perfectly and is a sweetheart! Prices are reasonable too. Thank you! Highly recommended.

I was very impressed with the quality of the cut and color that Mia gave me. The place isn’t fancy but the service was top notch!

I just moved to the San Antonio area and didn’t have any reference for finding a great haircut place. After reading the review here, I gave Miriam a call and got an appointment for the next day. Miriam was awesome! I love my haircut, she was very knowledgable and gave me great tips. I will definitely be going back. You can call and make an appointment, or just walk in. Everyone was really friendly.

With boring, straight Asian hair, I’ve always struggled to find a stylist who can bring some life into my hair without chopping off ridiculous layers and thinning out my hair too much. Having jumped from salon to salon for years, I was just starting to give up on my quest for the perfect cut, when I ran into an old friend from preschool, who recommended me to Miriam at Cuts and Shades of Color. Located in a fairly run-​down shopping strip on the Northeast side of town, this salon is truly a hidden gem. Miriam is the owner and worked for Fantastic Sam’s before opening her own place. She is so kind and a wonderful person, not to mention a precise and talented stylist. The first time I visited her, I was reeling from a bad haircut and asked her to save me. I walked out of there with a new, shorter bob with side-​swept bangs and beautifully-​placed red highlights. I had a mediocre highlighting experience many years ago, so was hesitant to try it again, but the coloring process did not dry out my hair and the shade blends perfectly even as my hair has grown out almost 9 months later. I’m not sure if she still does this special, but I got my services for half-​price the first time and I think they offer a discount if you recommend someone to the salon. It’s affordable and the salon is simple and clean. No fancy stuff here, just a great place to get a haircut and color. I was so impressed with my first experience that everytime I’m back in town, I go to Miriam who does her magic and leaves me feeling confident with easy-​to-​manage styles that look great for months.
