Beautiful, shiny, healthy, straight hair: Japanese hair straightening is well worth it. Pedro is the best!

by MargaretMP at Citysearch

Pedro and the Japanese hair straightening have made my life so much easier! I also have long hair for the first time in many years, because for the first time, my hair is manageable. And it looks GORGEOUS!

If you are considering having your hair straightened, you absolutely MUST have the Japanese hair straightening done at Ovations Hair Studio and Spa. I've had it done 4 times, and each time, I've been extremely happy with it. It lasts about a year, which is well worth the money. My time is precious, and this product has saved me so much time and effort. Before I did this, I was not able to air-dry my hair. Nor was I able to go out in the rain or humidity without having "Monica" hair (very frizzy, for those of you not familar with the Friends episode). Now I can do both and still look great. Imagine letting your hair air dry and end up perfectly straight! I can also travel without having to pack a flat iron.

Don't worry about your hair being damaged or over-processed. My hair is shiny, soft, and is very healthy. Every where I go, people tell me how beautiful my hair is and how healthy it appears. And yes, Pedro colors my hair too. It's no problem to do them both - just not during the same visit.

Do NOT be fooled by less expensive 'knock-offs". In 2002, I let a woman talk me into doing the Chi hair straightening. She claimed it was exactly like the Japanese product. Well, Chi may have nice flat irons, but their hair straightener stinks. It damaged my hair - we're talking brillo pad hair - and it only lasted about a month. And I have friends who recently experienced the same thing with other straighteners. So while many claim that you don't have to pay as much for the process, you should know that ONLY the real Japanese process works. Stylists must be specially trained to do this process, and Pedro is. I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else. You get what you pay for. And in this case, it's truly a worth it!

• Pros: personalized service, great atmosphere, excellent results
• Cons: only that they are closed most Thur afternoons

Breath taking experience for your hair

by daintyandtasteful at Citysearch

Ovations Hair studio is a unique quality hair salon. The personnel is friendly, and treat you like family. Pedro has many unique astonishing skills, ideas, and knowledge that you wont find in other hair salons. Arely is a treasured jewel, with her magic hands and inventive ideas, she can give you any look you want. She also listens to you, to make sure she doesn't give you what you don't want. Both of them combined make an excellent team complementing each others talents. Most importantly besides giving you the look you want, they make sure your hair doesn't get damaged in the process. These are only a few things they do. They are also known for their great make-up skills, in which they accentuate your best facial features and conceal imperfections. I am very picky when it comes to my hair, however Arely and Pedro have both performed tasteful artistic work on me. It truly is the best salon in Houston.

• Pros: staff skills, staff personality, cozy atmosphere
• Cons: none

THE BEST

by cp1234 at Citysearch

At the risk of Pedro's schedule filling up, I'm declaring that he is the best stylist and make-up artist in Houston. The salon is pristine and very calming. Pedro is warm, kind, and personable. In addition, he is supremely professional. I have never sat in the chair of a more talented stylist. I constantly receive compliments on my cut, highlights, and make up. It is all because of Pedro.

• Pros: Conveniently located, Good parking, Value priced

Walk Out Feeling Good Everytime

by xandicheex at Citysearch

I love going to get my hair done at Ovations, I always coming out looking and feeling good, because my hair looks great. I have been going to Pedro for years and he knows what he is doing. I had never gotten so many compliments on my highlights from other salons as I do with Ovations. If you try him once I am sure no matter what distance you are coming from, he is worth it.

HOORAY

Pedro is great. It took about 6 months for my friends to convince me to try him out as I enjoyed the stylist which had been working with me for years. Pedro is innovative, fun, and full of wonderful ideas.
