Amazing!

by beans6 at Citysearch

Melvie is the best hairdresser i have been too! I went through some tramatic experiences several months ago and my hair started to fall out and break off and then on top of it all my old hairdress highlighted my hair and it looked grey! I went to Melvie for help... she cut my hair to fix the troubled spots and also fixed the grey color! I was sooo impressed. Her services are also very affordable for being in a city. I will continue going back! Thanks Melvie for helping out my hair!

• Pros: Melvie, location, price, results

Fun place and great people

by Heights101 at Citysearch

I've had several haircuts here at Cosa Bella by different stylist and they've always did a great job with me. Melviy is my stylist but if she is busy I have to go to another stylist. You have to call before you want an appointment with her. If I walk in, I just go with another stylist.

This is a great place for anyone looking for great salon services at a decent price. I have been to other places that are too stuck up or they try to be. This place has that neighborhood feeling that makes you always feel welcome. Everyone is nice and helpful.

• Pros: ambiance and energy, stylist and pedicures
• Cons: busy

Best Salon & Day Spa in Houston!

by Carmen2927 at Citysearch

I highly recommend Cosa Bella Salon & Day Spa. I’ve been going to this salon for about 4 years now and am very happy with all of their services. The staff is very friendly and they make you feel at home! Myra, the Esthetician gives the most relaxing, purifying facial. Myra is very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for ones skin. She is also great at eyebrow shaping and waxing. The owner/stylist, Melvie, flew all the way to Mexico for my wedding to do my hair as well as my bridesmaids and mother. She did an awesome job keeping my hair intact when we were taking photos on the very windy beach!! My hairstyle was very pretty and she achieved the exact look I envisioned for my wedding day. Thanks Myra and Melvie!

Love Cosa Bella

by svaughn1 at Citysearch

New to the area and I love Arthur and Melvie! I love the atmosphere and mimosas. Try them out. They arent a huge salon but perfect for me. I've also went next door to the boutique and its a cool setup. Very busy sometimes but I know I'm not the only one who likes this place.

• Pros: great people
• Cons: none at all

A nice little treasure in our neighborhood

by cinelson at Citysearch

I was recommended by a girlfriend to try out Melvy. I went and absolutely loved my hair. She is a very good at what she does and I can tell she loves her job. The place isnt very big and can get crowded when all of the stylist have someone in their chair. Melvy is the owner and has a great place. On my second visit someone tried to schedule me with another stylist and I didn’t know until they called to remind me about my appointment. Ask for Melvy if you want her. Its been six months and Im very happy I found this salon.

• Pros: stylist, in my neighborhood, ambience
• Cons: sometimes too busy

Too crowed=lack of individual attention

by LaurenMixon at Citysearch

Not happy. I have been a customer of theirs for at least a year before I went to them for my wedding hair and makeup. I made an appointment to come in with 4 other people in my bridal party. We made the appointment at 10am (my ceremony was at 2:30) giving me plenty of time to relax before the ceremony. Well we get there a little early and Melvie is working on someone. They give us mimosas (great) and then ask us to look at magazines to decide. It's now 10 am and Melvie and the others are juggling around a bunch of other clients that are there. Now its 10:30, still haven't started on my hair. OK, now it's 10:50, I am starting to get impatient and asking when are they going to start. Melvie asked "when is the latest time you need to get out of here" I say "1pm". I really ideally would have liked to be done by 12 which would have been completely reasonable if they had started when they were supposed. They finally started on our hair around 11am 11:15 and didn't finish up until 1:05. I was completely rushing around until the ceremony. Also, they had the girl that washes the hair doing my mom in laws hair and it kept coming out terrible! IF they were short staffed they should not have taken the appointment. NOT HAPPY and they lost my business!

• Pros: They used to be good
• Cons: They are too busy for thier own good

Response from this business

Thank you for giving your honest review and also letting us service you for a year. Yes, we were very short-handed that day. We were short a stylist and a shampoo tech. But like you saw in the salon, we all came together and made sure everyone was taken care of. The young lady that you saw helping me wasn?t a shampoo girl, she is my assistant. I have complete trust in her ability and watched her curl your mother-in-law?s hair. My assistant started it and I finished her hair and she was satisfied when she left the salon. I do know that my little salon has been growing quickly and we try to make EVERYONE happy. I will speak to our receptionist as far as scheduling so that in the future we will not let this happen again. I?m glad that you made the wedding in time and wish you a happy future with your new husband. Thank you again.

Great atmosphere and wonderful people

by willismarg at Citysearch

I like this place because it isnt very snooty and the people there are all nice. It's not a spa that tries to be one of those high end spas. Its a very friendly place run by great folks. Melvie is my stylist and I also get my nails done there. Saturday mornings they serve mimosas and its a fun place to get ready for the evening! My stylist is the best and the others there are great too. Prices are reasonable compared to many other day spas. I love this place. Thank you ladies.

• Pros: Hairstylists
• Cons: parking lot full

Melvie has colored and cut my hair and did a great job. I was extremely pleased. I live in the Heights and was looking for a salon close to home and I am so glad I finally found one! Thanks to Melvie and her staff who always make you feel so welcome and do such a great job!

Great stylist

by Runner10k at Citysearch

Heights Blvd is my place to run and I decided to try and do something with my hair. Ponytails weren't working anymore and it was time for something different. I went to two different salons in the Heights and walked out very upset. The young women were very nice but had no ideas and must have been right out of school. I finally tried Cosa Bella and had my hair done by Melvi. She was so good at her job and was very nice. I have recommended her to several friends and will go again. I'm sorry I didnt find her sooner. Thanks!

• Pros: my haircut and color!
• Cons: nothing
