Azur Salon

Won't be going back

by lacking at Citysearch

Not impressed at all. I went to Azur after reading multiple rave reviews from City Search. I must admit, I chose a stylist blindly from the website because I didn't have too much to go by. She had minimal personality and offered me little suggestions, as I asked for! I'd consider going to another stylist next time, but I already feel like I lost $65 and don't want to waste more. Also, I felt like I was sitting on top of the lady getting her hair done next to me, the chairs were so close! The employees at the front desk were really friendly, so I give my 2 stars to them.

So sad to be leaving Azur behind!

I have been going to Greg for 4 years now and have loved my hair for 4 years! I have gone through different hairstyles but they have all been executed beautifully! And as Greg knows, I am a very fussy customer with thick, difficult hair. I love Azur salon...the staff are all wonderful, there are always fresh flowers around and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Azur has been introducing so many new ideas that it seems like it's becoming a do-it-all salon. Which is great because they only use the finest products and techniques.

I am moving out of state and I'll definitely miss these guys. Thank you Greg!! And Jim, it's been awesome hanging out 'next door' to you! And thank you James for making my husband look so handsome! And thank you to ALL the staff who are so nice and friendly!

Bye!

• Pros: Great haircut and color and great staff
• Cons: none!

Gorgeous Highlights

by happygal09 at Citysearch

I get my highlights from Joel. He knows how to give me highlights and lowlights with a beautiful shine. A friend recommened me to Azur when I complimented her hair she sent me to Joel and I am a happy girl. I look forward to getting my hair done at Azur every 6-8 weeks. The staff is fantastic and they have a little coffee and tea bar set up with a variety of herbal teas. etc

It is alway a treat to visit and I feel beautiful when I walk out knowing all the compliments I am going to receive. Love Azur !!

Chris is an excellent stylist!

by Biscotti at Citysearch

I've been shopping around for a place to get my hair maintained ever since I moved to Houston a couple of years ago. I decided to try Azur after reading many positive reviews here on Citysearch. I'm quite pleased with my decision! The receptionist recommended Chris for my haircut and I'm glad she did! He took the time to listen to what I was shooting for and offered some excellent suggestions when I asked for his opinion. In the end, my haircut turned out exactly how we planned. He did an fantastic job of cutting my hair to frame my face! I also thoroughly enjoyed the shampoo, it was like a mini massage!

Also, everyone was so nice there and did a very good job of making you feel welcome.

I definitely will go back!

• Pros: Friendly people, excellent talent, refreshing drinks

Outstanding talent

I love Daniel!

by afrenchy at Citysearch

I am very paticular about my haircut. Daniel took the time to cut and texturize it just right. I also wanted some chunky highlights that I did not have to get touched up that often and he also did a great job on that too! I love my new cut and funky highlights. I would recommend Daniel to anyone who likes a little extra attention and service!

• Pros: friendly, great cut and color!
• Cons: none

Loved it!

Great Salon!

by singletarysarah at Citysearch

I found Azur Salon on City Search and after reading the reviews decided to try it out. The receptionist was very polite and helpful in picking the stylist that would best meet my needs. I was booked for a hi-light/low-light and blowout with Joel. I was extremely impressed by the attentiveness of the front desk staff, the modern yet relaxing atmosphere in the salon, and the professionalism and talent that Joel brings to Azur Salon. Joel is an excellent stylist. My hair was beautifully styled and I am very happy with my color. I definitely recommend this salon! By the way, I do not live in Houston. I live in Louisiana and will gladly continue to make the 2 hour drive to have my hair done by Joel!

• Pros: Excellent color service and blowout style

Brazilian keratin treatment

by brina6 at Citysearch

Im dissapointed that no information was given to me about the ingredients I was told it was natural made of keratin. and that it was FDA approve. The Fda has not approved the Brazilian keratin trratment. it regulates and approve the use of formaldehyde to no more 0.2% for comestic use because of its known carcinogen effects. hence the need for the stylist to wear a mask , shes inhaling all the cancer causing fumes. the product they use it's called marcia teixteria and there is no disclosure anywhere on marcia's website about the formaldehyde all they say is natural.

ever thought that repeated exposure to this can have some serious consequences such as cancer? . is up to you to be proactive in doing research the Brazilian keratin treatment is ban in alot countries .

There are five brands of the treatment solution available in the U.S.—we called Fiber, which, unaware of its carcinogenic contents, had been using the Marcia Teixeira Brazilian Keratin Treatment, which Allure found to have 3.4 percent formaldehyde. John Barrett Salon had been using this solution as well, but pulled the service from its menu after independent testing. Fiber has also pulled the service from its arsenal until it can test the product.

sources newyork time out magazine article" scare straight.... see for yourself

is your responsibilty not to be so gullable that you believe everthing you are told. looks at the facts.

• Pros: It makes your hair more managble
• Cons:  formaldehyde exposure

Response from this business

Azur Salon uses the Marcia Teixiera Brazilian Keratin straightening treatment. It is manufactured in an FDA and OSHA regulated facility in Del Rey Beach, Florida. All stylists are certified to do the process correctly & safely. Regarding formaldehyde: this product has the same amount used in many popular lipsticks, nail polishes, toothpastes, etc. Any products made with living materials (like keratin), must use a preservative. In addition, Azur Salon has invested in a medical-grade air purifier to remove all ammonia, formaldehyde and many other products from the air. We also use an application technique that releases minimal fumes. Our Keratin is natural (98% from sheep's wool). Brazilian Keratin treatments are not regulated in other countries by an organization like the FDA or in OSHA-regulated facilities, which is why they are not allowed to use it. The brand used by Azur Salon, Marcia Teixeira, is regulated and safe.
