Excellent Experience!

by OnlyMe

Back in Houston after a dozen years and decided to try Village La Salon. Recommended by friends and relatives. I am thrilled to have found a place that I am 100% comfortable with. As I was a year past due in managing my hair, trust me, I was a mess! I really didn't know what I wanted and Mauri was extremely friendly and spent time wanting to know what I wanted. I did not feel rushed. Mauri recommended a "fresher cut" for me and she literally transformed me! I went from looking old and haggard to (I must say modestly) looking younger and definitely had a fresher look. My color is fantastic and highlights superb!!! Relax in a nice atmosphere, enjoy a cup of coffee and check out current magazines (Many places have outdated publications). I highly recommend this place. I know it will be my source to beautiful hair! THANK YOU Village La Salon!!!

• Pros: Qualified, Friendly, Efficient Service

Great Place for highlights, coffee, facial, relaxing

by sailor3

I followed my hairdressers to Village La Salon and was very happy to meet Mauri whose shop is a very clean quiet hideout to where I can escape and give myself a treat once a month! Liz is the most talented color specialist and hair designer, and Bibi is right along beside her and can hold her own! I would never go anywhere else and the prices are right!

• Pros: Quiet, relaxing, pampering
• Cons: None

No real 'Special'

by spunkymunky

I called up this salon because I thought they had a special for Tues and Wed. It seems like this special is only for first time visitors on their first visit ONLY. In anycase, this by no means is an affordable salon. Even with their first time customer special, the lady quoted me $30 for haircut w/ shampoo and then 25$ for blowdry!!! This comes out to $55 for what they call a 'special'.

Village La Salon

by JudyKoc

Mauri has been coloring and cutting my hair for over 10 years and I would not go anywhere else in Houston. The cut is always perfect and the color always lasts longer than I think it will. The salon services are also very high quality. Roxann does wonderful facials. Parking is always available in the Village across from the salon so that is not a problem. You can't get better services and the costs are very reasonable.

• Pros: highest quality of hair and skin care; great service at affordable costs
• Cons: none

Maintain your great look or get a full-body overhaul at Village La Salon in Houston featuring massage, facials, waxing and more.

The Scene
The best part of this salon's decor is the line of movie stills festooning the entry hall. Once past that photo of a water-drenched Sophia Loren, you'll pay for anything to bring magic to your own merely mortal shape and skin. After leaving the stills behind, the ambiance gets markedly more prosaic--a bit heavy on '80s flourishes, like faux marble pedestals.

The Services
Services range from maintenance to reconstruction to luxury. Get average-length hair colored and cut, long hair styled for special occasions, and special service for kids and men. If you're bent on thwarting nature, go for the permanent makeup: eyebrows, lip liner, even full lip color. If you'd rather just feel lovely, ask for the Refresher treatment--a spa extravaganza of massage, honey-almond body polish and reflexology.

Owner lies about price!

by skamru

Prior to making an appointment for my sister, I called to ask what the price ranges were for a hair cut. The owner said between $50-$75- It all depends on the length of the hair. I said my sister's hair is below shoulder length. She said it will be $50. Feeling that this is a reasonable price, I went ahead and made the appointment.

My sister was really upset with the haircut and said that she cut her short hair, shorter than she wanted! She was furious, gave her credit card, signed, and walked out. I was with her and felt that the owner may have charged her too much, and I was right. She charged her $60! I was furious. I called her to ask her why she did that and she made an excuse that the price depends on the style. She lied because earlier she said it depends on the lenght! Also, I got a haircut from her in April and my hair was upto my midback. She had charged me $50.

Did not meet her customer's needs and lied about the price--- unacceptable!

Great Salon, Great Employees

by elizabethogg

La Village Salon is a great place for cuts, hi-lites, and facials. I found this salon last year when I moved to Houston by looking on-line; however, I got lucky because the prices are great and so is the service. Mauri and her employees are wonderful and caring. Because I have really long hair, high-lites can get really expensive, but La Village Salon is very reasonable and I always get compliments on my hair.

I find it very sad that someone in the medical field would write such an unpleasant review about such a great salon and such a caring stylist because she became ill during your hair appointment. You, of all people, should be a little more compassionate in this situation. I wish I could write a review on you as a nurse.

awful

by catsal

There was one stylist and shortly after putting a few highlights in my hair she said she did not feel well and went to lie down. I had to wash the color out myself and leave while she snoozed on the couch and I left with orange hair

If you're looking for a stylist that can read your mind, look no further...

by lilkutie33

I was really nervous going to a hair stylist that have never cut my hair (let alone try out a wild hair cut/style), but Mari had made this new experience so fun! Mari really made me comfortable right from the moment I stepped in the door. I felt bad for coming in so late but she didn't mind, she gave her 110%. Not only that my haircut accentuate my face but the hi-lights added that extra Moxie. Mari, you have a customer for life! Thank you so much!

• Pros: Experienced stylists and great service
• Cons: There are NONE!

Avoid eyebrow threading

by ricegal

Do not get the eye brow threading. My eyebrows looked the same as when I had gone in. At one point during the threading, my eyebrow hair was getting caught in the thread and the lady threading commented that my eye brow hair was long-normally eyebrow hair is always trimmed prior to threading but not here and it wasn't really done afterwards. Stray hairs were also left. I went home and had to fix it myself. The top of one eyebrow was not shaped the same as the other as well. Don't waste your money on threading here.

• Pros: Nice people
• Cons: incomplete threading job
