Azur Salon

Consistency

by luvinmyhair at Citysearch

Breanne knows how to cut some hair! She had cut my hair a few months ago and had me stylin'. I absolutely loved the "do" she gave me. I had taken in a picture and she replicated it precisely. Recently, due to finances, someone else (not part of Azur Salon) cut my hair as a "favor". Though their heart was in the right place, the end result was less than favorable and I could not let it stay as it was. The first place/person I thought of without hesitation was Breanne at Azur. I saw her yesterday and she fixed me up. It takes real talent to transform a bad haircut into something livable at best. She did more than that, she worked magic and had me walking out with my head held high and a smile on my face feeling completely different about myself than I did when I walked in. She is the only one I will have cutting my hair henceforth. You will find Breanne to be not only talented but warm, welcoming, intuitive and in possession of the best quality of all a hair stylist can have-good listening skills.

• Pros: wonderful atmosphere, great skill & talent
• Cons: not a single con for me

Chris is an excellent stylist!

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!

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.

Breanne is great!

by dahuron at Citysearch

After my horrible experience with a previous hairdresser from another salon, Breanne asked what I wanted and how I usually wear my hair and she did EXACTLY what I asked for. No extra input or advice about what SHE thought I should wear my hair, and the way she blowdryed my hair was AMAZING. I looked the best I have ever looked in a long time. I don't know what she put in my hair or how she did it, but my hair was so full and thick and full of volume. It looked gorgeous! Thank you Breanne! I absolutely love my hair and will definitely be back for another cut and blowdry. And another plus is you can stop by and they will trim your bangs at no extra charge. That is great!!!

• Pros: Best haircut and blowdry
• Cons: None so far

Fab shampoos!

I have very fine, thin hair and have rarely found any stylist with whom I was pleased. Look no more - Jo Adams is the best. I've never been complimented on my short hair until Jo took over! I highly recommend her for her competence, style, and interesting personality. Her prices are steep, but well worth it (at least for me!). P.S .I also love the salon - everyone is so friendly and knew my name from the first visit.

• Pros: Jo Adams is the best
