I looked for other reviews on this place by going to "touch of red" and saw wat other people that about the place well it isn't that great..... and this SAmmi person is not very nice espeacilly if it look's like you have no money..... go to google and search "touch of red" to read the review's...... I thought this would b d place for me but not after wat i read about this Sammi person....
I just moved to Houston and have been searching high and low for a good hair colorist and hair cutter. I do not have to search any longer. Sami is amazing! Although you have to book an appointment well in advance, it is really worth it. Go check her out!
Sami is creative and very professional. she has incredible skills! If your look is important to you, you must make an appointment today!
I was in search of an update to my look and needed corrective color. I read many of the reviews here and decided to give Sami a try. I was a bit anxious about going to someone for the first time and not only getting a hair cut but a corrective color as well.
Darling Frida, dressed in one of her many cute outfits, greeted me as I waited for my appointment time.
Sami has a great ...
this is a great salon to visit!!!
my first visit to this place was for a corrective haircut. within minutes, i was transformed back to a normal and sexier person. Sami is just too good, with hair and as a person, they go out of their way to be nice to you, wil try everything to accommodate your appointment on their calendar. Jill did my new look the last time and i love it. the compliments - omg.....
Love you so much Sami & t...
Like everyone else reviewing here I've searched high and low for some place unique to work their creative magic on my hair. If you are a perfectionist or of artistic bent Touch of Red's extraordinary hair artists (Sami's input and Jill's attention to detail will amaze you). I told them what I was thinking of, how often I wanted to come in and I was not disappointed. Jill and Sami put their heads...
I'm good at finding "the best" in whatever city I happen to be working in, however I really lucked out when it came to Touch of Red and landing Sami as my stylist when I arrived in Houston.
The salon is a former brothel/boarding house so it immediately feels like you're in someone's old, comfy house to begin with. Both Sami and Shannon (owners) treat you with respect and are fun, talented p...
Go see Jill! Been here in Houston going on 3 years now and finally found someone who I will be going back to!
After reading tons of reviews on city search, I decided to schedule with Sami for my color correction and cut. I am so glad I did...Sami is a miracle worker! My new red hair is really beautiful...my husband loves it:) She is so talented and knows what color and cut will work best for you. I also enjoyed talkiing to Sami and everyone while I was there. I had a blast!! I was treated like a...
April is the person to go to for a brazillian wax at the touch of red salon. I have been her customer for over a year. I started seeing her when she was at her old location in Clear Lake and followed her when she moved to the Montrose area. She makes you at ease, I have never had a bad skin reaction to the wax, and I am always in and out of the salon within 30 minutes!
I strongly recommen...
April is the best waxer ever! I've had bikini and brazilian waxes before, and I always ended up really dried out or sensitive for days after. But the wax she uses works so well, and she's most definitely the most comfortable person I've ever had wax me. Simply spectacular. I make monthly trips to Houston just to see her.
April does an excellent brazilian wax. Very professional. Only 20-30 minutes. Zip zip and you are done. She will make your experience as pleasant and as pain free as possible.
Try it! It's perfect for the summer season!
I can't say enough about Sami and everyone else at Touch of Red. After moving to Houston 2 years ago I struggled to find a salon that offered consistently beautiful results. I'm so so happy to have found Sami. She does fabulous work!
My highlights always look great and she is very fast - which I really appreciate. She also gives great cuts - she really works with my superfine and weirdly...
I have been going to April for a year now and chose to drive an hour where she was at rather than change to someone nearyby. She makes you feel comfortable with her genuine smile and her welcoming personality. She does a tremendous job and I always feel cleaner when I leave.
Talk about feeling welcomed. Everyone there is awesome to deal with and does awesome work.
April with Winkin Twinkies couldn't be better. Very professional, and what a clean and relaxing atmosphere. Wouldn't go anywhere else. The 45 minute drive is well worth it.
I went to touch of red to get my hair cut and highlighted by Sami based on all of the positive reviews. I found the salon did not feel relaxing at all. Sami was doing too many things at once and seemed rushed. This will not be the salon for me.
April does a great job waxing. I have been going to her for a while and always leave happy (and much less hairy).
My hair was a mess ,I went to a top dollar salon and came home with orange hair ,I looked like a pumkin and it was bad my co worker told me to call Sam it took four weeks to get in but it was well worth it the girl is in high demand and very busy little thing let's say the staff is wonderful the shop is small with lots of big hearts and big smiles . Thanks Touch of Red glad you won with Channel 2
I have been going to the Touch of Red salon with Sami since she moved to their current location and I was very excited that they were offering waxing with Winkin' Twinkies. All I have to say is "April is great!" I had an appointment with April last Thursday for my first wax ever. Needless to say I was very nervous. She was very attentive and put me right at ease. April is very professional and ve...
1st off, April is the best!! I must say she is the ONLY person that I feel comfortable enough with to wax the twinkie! April is very professional and at the same time you just want to talk to her about everything. She has the best wax ever. It doesn't irritate my skin and it doesn't hurt as much as the waxes other estheticians use. April is very thorough and ensures you've received the perfe...
April has been my esthetician for over a year and she is awesome! She makes me feel very comfortable and at ease when I go in. I DO however recommend purchasing a product that she has called "No Scream Cream"...IT WORKS! I get the full brazilian and it really does help make it less painful! She does a great job and is very thorough! I highly recommend April at WInkin' Twinkies!
A great place to get your WAX on! April is the best. The salon is adorable and very convenient. I followed April to her new place. She is also very accommodating with appointments and will work with you to schedule an appointment.
I never go back to the same salon twice. It isn't that I haven't been pleased with the color and cuts I get, but I've just never been so impressed that I wanted to go back. Touch of Red is a different story. Sami gave me a cut and color and I loved it! Everyone in there is personable and that makes the experience that much better. The atmosphere and the service you get at Touch of Red is just...
April has been a dear friend to me for a long time and I have always felt very comfortable around her especially when it comes to waxing you have to be able to trust someone and I definitely feel that around her she does an amazing job and is a professional at her craft. I love her!!
I have been getting waxed by april for over a year now and I have to say she is the best i have experienced. i will not go anywhere else. not sure if it's her, the wax or both, but her service is so much less painful than other experiences i have had. My skin does not seem to get near as irritated. I also feel so comfortable with her. The fact that she can make me laugh during the service is so g...
I was referred to April at Winkin Twinkies by a friend. She is in the Touch of Red Salon off Montrose. I am a guy, and I had never had any waxing done before, so I was pretty reluctant. But I have to say that April did a great job of explaining everything and really setting me at ease with the whole process. She is very friendly and upbeat, and she made what could potentially have been a very...
NO NO NO PAIN!!! I have been getting waxed for years but never had I had such a wonderful experience. April makes you feel very relaxed and she use's a numbing cream, which it helps so much her brazilian wax was the best lets say I have been going to the same girl for 3 years and one try with April and I'm hooked to Winkin'Twinkies she is a great esthetician I got my wax on with April Thanks tell...
I have good hair, however right before the holidays began a very well know and uptown salon did me in! My highlights went from a gorgeous mix of brunette to fire engine red, then pumpkin orange and finally a glorious fuschia. I studied the internet and found Sami and Touch of Red. After reading the reviews I called on a Sunday expecting to leave a message. Shannon answered the phone and told ...
I visited Touch of Red a few months ago after a long search for a great hair salon and I was pretty sure I had found THE place. I made my next appointment a month and a half in advance, knowing that they are busy and because I really needed a Saturday appointment to have great hair for a wedding later on that evening. On Friday night (when I still hadn't received a call to confirm my appointmen...
Having recently relocated to Houston from out of state and having to leave my fablous Hairdresser for the last 16 years,one of the biggest stressors I experienced was the search for a new Hairdresser. To me, a salon visit should be intimate and relaxing. It is of utmost importance to feel comfortable not only with your stylist, but with the salon as a whole.
I had been to a couple of salons...
I used to go to Visible Changes all the time but I wasen't really satisfied with their work. After giving visible changes several chances, I decided to try something new. I wen to Touch of Red and I loved it! Sami took into consideration my skin color, my job, if I tan and how often I style my hair. I have been to Touch of Red three times and I always loved the results. I think that anyone who wa...
I?m currently a BIG fan of Sami when it comes to getting my hair done! I have been getting my hair done with Sami for the past 5 years and would never think about making a change. This past weekend I had a big event that I had to attend and I called Sami to see if she had an appointment available. I pretty much knew the answer with her being booked all the time but I figured I would give it a sho...
I have lived in Houston all my life and have lived "inside the loop" for a couple of years and have had my hair done in ONLY the best salons in Houston. I have to be honest, I am NOT the type to write a recommendation at all. But, after wasting hundreds of dollars for years and not being completely satisfied with my color and just settling because I was tired of searching for a different salon ...
SAMI IS LIKE THE BEST EVRY SHE CHANGE MY WHOLE FACES WITH HAIR CUT WHEN I WENT HOME I WENT ON MY MYSPACES AND PUT MY NEW HAICUT PICTURE ON MYSPACES AND EVERY WAS LIKE THATS SO COOL WERE CAN I GET THAT HAIR CUT TOUCH OF RED MADE ME FELL PRETTY LIKE EVERY GIRL SHOULD THEY ARE SO NICE PLEASE GO!
Just went to Touch of Red and had hair colored and cut by Sami. She is wonderful!! My hair is very fine and hard to cut since you can see every little snip and she took her time and gave me a GREAT cut that I am very happy with. My hair was also previously damaged a year ago by a colorist so I had a lot of breakage!! She was able to give me a great color with lots of shine and cut all of my broke...
I want to thanks Sami I have been going to see her for a year I fly in from New York three or four times a year and let me say its well worth it . I use to go to a very Fancy top dollar salon in Manhattan and I was never happy the last time I went I came out with black low lights and white huge chuncks of course Sam fixed all that she is great with corrective color. I have a very public job with...
I have worn my hair natural (without perms) for 6 years and throughout this journey I have found that there are a lot of licensed and unexperienced stylists. When Amanda became my stylist, my hair took a turn for the better. It's healthy for the 1st time in 6 years. She knows what products, and styles to recommend and she's very good!!!! If you haven't met Amanda, you need to! If you haven't...
Before I got my hair done by Amanda, I was in tears. I went somewhere else and they cut my hair uneven and had me looking jack up and had the nerve to charge me alot of money. Amanda fix the problem quickly and at a very reasonable price. She also does a great job with perms and color. I promise you'll be more than satisfied when she's finish with you. She's the only person that I let touch my ha...
My dark hair turns a horrible brassy orange every single time I color or highlight it, but Sami has completely taken care of that. My highlights finally have the soft beige-ish look that I've been after for years, my overall color matches my skin perfectly, and I don't get the damage that I get from other places. After hearing a million times that the look I want is impossible to achieve, Sami to...
This was my first time in Touch of Red. I found them on Citysearch while looking for color repair after a horrifying experience at a "chain" salon. I took advantage of the free consultation with Sami and felt instantly that she was an expert. She did a corrective color and cut and my hair is fabulous! She told me to bring in pictures of what I wanted and she matched them perfectly and actuall...
I recently came to this salon as a new customer ,and I am so pleased with my color and cut. I've been dyeing my hair myself (out of a box) for the past year and a half ,and I had gotten tired of the reddish color that always came out. I decided it was time for a change to so I made an appt with Sami after a friend recommended her. She evaluated my hair and recommended highlight/lowlights. It came...
I'm a guy with longish, fine, thin hair. My hair takes a beating riding on my Harley, but I like something easy to maintain. Sami knows how to make thin, fine hair look like you have more. She's a great stylist to be recommended for her ability to cut and style.
Being a mom of two teenage boys, I like to look current, but working downtown, I also need to maintain a professional appearance. I've been to some upscale salons in Houston, but so far, no one, NO ONE, has been able to do my highlights exactlly like I want...it was always too brassy, too orange, not bright enough. Sami gets it right on. She's great. She has an exceptional ability to zero in ...
Touch of Red is a great salon for a good cut and highlights. It's convenient to downtown, Galleria, and Medical Center. They are professional, friendly, and make you feel at ease. Treat yourself to a Touch of Red and you'll be hooked - you'll never go back to the mall for a haircut again! Sami rocks!
I came to Touch of Red with Horrible Hair, I thought I was beyond help. I talked with Sami first and was given great advice on my hair. Sami took the time to tell me what hair color would compliment my skin tone and what cut would compliment my face shape, the end result was amazing. I came to the shop with no hope and left a different women, I felt so good about myself. The shop is very cu...
A Touch of Red is a wonderful place. Sami is very cool and will make you feel right at home, no matter what your walk in life. You can go casual and be yourself. The thing I like most about the salon is Sami has the ability to understand what you are trying to convey about your hair style or color, even if you don't know exactly how to explain it yourself. I am very particular about my hair and s...
I have hot hot hair I was sent by my sister. I went some where else, and I was ever color of the rainbow I had white Chuncks with black chuncks Sami did corrective color she gave me a nice warm brown with shear Lights I have a high profile job in the courts so I need to look nice. The shop is cool with lots of art ,she loves Frida . I want to thank you guys at Touch of Red . I did have to make my...
I came in and my hair was so yellow, Sam did corrective color and I love it she did three or four colors and I feel like a movie star I fly in from New york every three months and this is the third time I see her I waited to write this just to see if Sam was for real I love my hair I do have to book in advance but O well you do have to wait for the best Thanks Touch Of Red Love Ya Debra
I would say i was 100% satisfied with my hair cut but not satisfied at all with my color. I asked for shades of light brown highlights and i got blonde. They tried to fix it and now its an orangey coppery color. Just what she said it wouldnt be. So now i have to eat the over $200 bill and find some place to fix the orange issue. I might go back for the cut but will pass on the color. The workers ...
I dropped in without an appointment on my lunch break one day. DeAnn invited me to site down for a consultation. We talked about what I wanted and she gave her suggestions as well. I made an appointment for a full highlight and a cut. My appointment was last night and I love what she did. She understood exactly what I was trying to achieve with my hair (my last cut was by someone else and it...
My family recently moved to Houston from Philadelphia. I was looking for someone I could trust. I found Touch of Red on Citysearch and gave Sami a try. I told her my story, "Before I had my daughter I use to be very daring with my hair. I always had great style and color but it always took me forever to get ready in the morning. I needed to find something that complemented my personality wit...
After three "pricy, glizty" local salons, I've finally found a place to call my salon home. Sami and her team were so friendly and professional. I had been letting my hair grow out just so I didn't have to experience another disaster. However, Sami was straight forward and personal. Asking great lifestyle questions to get an understanding of what I needed in terms of color, styling, age-appropria...
Absolutely fabulous is all I can say!
My reason for visiting Touch of Red was more of an emergency than just a trip to the salon. I am the mother of a beautiful 10 year old girl and just days earlier I found out my daughter ?hated? her brown curly hair.
For the past 5 years my hair was colored blond with highlights but now it was time to color it back to my natural hair color brown (for my girl...
Both Sami and Heddi (sp?) did my highlights, which were damaged from another place, which I will not name :) They brought my highlights from an awful orange color to a sunny blonde / light brown. They have free glasses of wine, and everyone is really nice. Parking can be a problem, but I didn't mind too much. Be sure to book appointments early, as this place is always busy!
I had been going to the same stylist for about 6-7 yrs. I had stayed loyal to him even though there had been many times I walked out NOT happy with my hair color and cut. Well, the last time he did my hair, I decided I would go to someone new in the future. He just didn't have any input whatsoever. I wanted someone who would tell me what would and wouldn't look good on me..I wanted someone to...
this review is coming from a guy who has thick, coarse, unmanageable hair. i found De'Ann through Citysearch this summer, and immediately made an appointment after reading the reviews - this'll be my 5th cut from her and its always been fantastic. she's the only stylist i've EVER, EVER had that has been able to make my cut look exactly like the pictures i bring in AND make it just as easy to st...
I am a 26 y/o male with slightly thinning hair. I've had a really tough time finding a stylist who is talented enough to give me a great cut while at the same time being patient enough to actually LISTEN to what I want. I wandered into Touch of Red after hearing good things from city search. A girl named Heddie had an opening and helped me right away! I told her what I was looking for and she ...
All I can say is I am impressed!! I found Touch of Red, based on the reviews on the internet and also for their coloring techniques. After reading them, I was sold! The shop is located in one of the trendiest parts of the city. Perfect location for this salon. The personalities and people fit go together. My appointment was with Sami and trust me, she knows what shes doing!!! Her talents show i...
I'm so excited I visited touch of red salon today after reading many reviews on line and I have to admit I was a little scared because I have had several bad expieriences here in Houston at top salons!!!!!! To my suprise My hair turned out faboulous!!!!! I got a cut and color by Deann she was great and she took her time with me and did a really professional consultation and told me what I could a...
I always read these reviews, but I rarely write them. I had to write about my experience at A Touch of Red. I had my first appointment with Sami September 29th. My hair was orange and fried when I arrived-the result of a really bad color job. Sami took me in and worked her magic. I am just thrilled with the result! I have a great color with highlights and a style to match. I have been asked 3 tim...
I came to Touch of Red with the worst Highlight job ever that another salon in Houston had done a week before a total nightmare lets say I came in she looked at my skin color looked at my hair came back with a glass of wine and three diffrent bowls of color stuff and away we went she gave me two diffrent colors of highlights and low lights cut a cool Posh Bob and lets say it was wonderful she is ...
I live in New York and have I have been to some of the best hair salons all over the states and over seas some have been okay I have had some great cuts I found Touch of red becaue my mom insisted on me going there my thought was oh here we go again.

De had did my hair the first time and she is good no one is bad there everyone is good but Sam tops ...
WOW! All I can say I am very picky I have been to some of the best Hair salons in New York and Houston and she can does great corrective color and her haircuts , wonderful !!!! I have never recived so many compliments the shop is small and cozy and Sami and the other hair dressers are so nice she is very honest and up front and does not have a problem saying no to someone I did have to call way...
It's been several months since I've been here. I went to Touch of Red b/c of the rave reviews on City Search and because the previous stylist I went to just didn't get what I was wanted in my hair color. I told Sami I wanted a rich auburn and the result was WAY darker than I anticipated, but what's worse is that it was just shy of being MAROON. I was so shocked by the color that at first I didn't...
I went to see Sami at Touch of Red after having a not-so-great highlight experience at another salon. Sami was wonderful! She knew exactly what to do to fix my highlights so they would look how I wanted them to look. The highlights turned out perfectly and I have gotten so many compliments on them. Sami also cut my hair that same day and I can't say enough how much I love it! Again... it was...
The place is classy, cozy and private. No deafening music either like in other hair salons. Dee Ann is friendly and listens to what you want, at the same time she gives you suggestions. I liked her so much I got my sister a gift certificate on her birthday.
I have often wondered what it would be like to "splurge" on haircare and one day I happened upon Touch of Red through this website. I usually don't base my decisions on anyone else's reviews of anything, but I must say that I agree wholeheartedly with the vast majority of the reviews FOR Touch of Red. For many years I went "cheap" when it came to hair color [boxed! yikes!] and hair salons [tgf&f...
I recently took my daughter to Touch of Red to get her hair cut and colored. She's very shy but has an artsy side to her. She wanted to add blue to her hair which is naturally very dark and I of course was totally against as a parent but when Sami was done everyone in the salon raved about it. My daughter looked like the beauty that's inside her! Let me explain. She is a bit of an introvert and v...
I can only say I have been going to her for a year and she can fix any thing she is wonderful and a she is true color expert she does some neat people and she is honest and to the point the shop is very welcoming and simple my family just loves her and she will say no if she thinks your hair will not take you need to go to touch of red you will love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am new to the Houston area and have been looking for a new hair stylist for a few months. After reading the great reviews of Touch of Red, I decided to give them a try. As always, I am very nervous about going to new hair stylists because of some bad experiences that I have had in the past. However, this experience was totally different. It was so refreshing to have a hair stylist that analyzes...
I made an appointment with Sami based on the Citysearch review, and I have to say they are very accurate. I haven't had a hair cut for a year since I want to find someone I can really trust. Sami was very big on charity donation, she suggested that I can donate my 12'' in long cut-off hair to breast cancer society which I did! It was wonderful experience to donate your hair. She was very nice ...
I can only say Sami is a true artist I fly in from New York every three to four months and she does a wonderful job I do say she is busy and I mean busy. She does two or three colors on my hair and a great hair cut and I do not break the bank . The Salon is cute and cozy very warm, lets say you feel at home. I have been going to Sami for a year and everytime I go, I know the women knows her stu...
I have driven past A Touch of Red, for quite some time now, and always wondered how it was. I read the shining reviews on this site, and decided to call and make an appointment with De'Ann. I am so happy I did! When I got there, she saw me right away, and listened to what I wanted. She is pleasant, and a true artist. I am so happy I decided to check the salon out.
If you want an amazing...
After reading the reviews on this website, I decided to make an appointment at Touch of Red. I hadn't a clue what I wanted done with my hair, but Dee Ann was great. She asked me a few questions about styling my hair and my lifestyle and came up with the perfect hair for me! I love my new hairstyle (I haven't been able to stop playing with it all day!!).
I have been to many hair salons in Houston and my hair has never been so perfect . What she did with my fine hair was just wonderful she knows her color I may say they are very busy and Sami is at high demand she is very talented and yes its very hard to get in so remember call in advance but if she can fixed my hair she can fix yours thanks Sami.......
OMGOODNESS! DE'ANN is definitely "Heaven Sent"! I was just about to turn the big four zero and I desperately needed a new look! I did not even have a clue on what style or cut I wanted! I just knew needed a change and to feel liberated! The shop is very clean and cozy. The girls are just so considerate and patient! I felt like a princess in De'ann's chair or should I say "thrown"! I know I turned...
I never really write comments but to help those who are as skeptical as I was about finding a hair stylist in a new city online, know that this place is amazing. I came in with 3 hair style ideas and I was told point blank which would and wouldn't work for my hair. After trying 2 different stylists in houston, I have finally found one that I will stick with. De'Ann was amazing and made me feel ve...
The women knows her stuff Sami, is wonderful and makes you feel right at home. No one gave me money to write this review. I came to her because my hair was mustard yellow I came in talked to her and Deann, yes it took me a couple of days to get in but worry when you have a hair dresser that is not busy. This place is very busy she is very honest and best of all no BLEACH she fixed my color in no...
Her shop is so cute , Sami is very honest and does not play around of course you can not make everyone happy but she fixed my bad hair color she is to the point and she does send you out of ther if she feels your hair is in bad shape everyone there is so nice the house is a real cute house build in 1931 the women is great in color my hair was 5 diffrent colors and now it Rocks!!!! I fly in every ...
Hi,
I am new to Houston (from Europe). I found Sami on this web page. All I can say is that I have never had such a great hair color!!! As also other people wrote, my friends noticed it! It has never happened before! And the service is very quick!
I highy recommend it to everyone.
Sami, see you in early May!
K.
Sami is amazing. You must go here. I recently moved to Houston from Los Angeles and I have also lived in London and frequent stylists in Miami and NYC. Sami is one of the best stylists I have been to - ANYWHERE. Her color is really amazing. Reds and blondes do not fear!! She knows what she is doing. Her prices are very low considering her talent and the time and attention that she gives to...
Previously I had a bad haircut and Sami did a great job fixing it to look great. I also had my hair highlighted which she also did a great job. She was very quick and everybody was really friendly at the salon.
WOW! AWESOME! FANTASTIC! If you are looking for someone who KNOWS color, you will find that person at Touch of Red! Your search is OVER once you meet with Sami Kent! The MOST knowledgeable on coloring/corrective coloring I have EVER met! After 20 years of coloring my hair I feel as if I am an expert on BAD hair colorists so, I called and talked to Sami personally on Mon and she told me she would ...
I've spent a fortune on my hair in this city -- my husband calls me a "hair-aholic -- and I was pleasantly surprised to finally find someone that "gets it." Sami did a better job on my hair than I have experienced at some of Houston's so-called "top salons" where I usually get the cookie-cutter treatment.
As others have stated, she truly has an eye for finding the right color. I had complime...
I want to say that i was so nervous to get my hair done.. Im not from Houston or Texas at all, I just moved here and I did not know where to go to get my hair done. YOU all know how it is to not have your usual stylist do your hair?? After extensive research on the internet and talking to a few other women, i decided to try A touch of Red and have Sami do my hair. The place smells nice and ever...
I am new to Houston. I just moved from South Carolina and had been going to my previous stylist for about 5 years. I was nervous to try someone new. I read the reviews on CitySearch and was a little hesitant to try it. I went somewhere else and ended up driving straight home in tears. I couldn't wait to wash my hair and restyle it. After that experience, I decided that all the reviews for Sami c...
I am ecstatic! Two hours ago, I had my hair done at ?A Touch of Red? and I have never been so happy about the way my hair looks. I walked out of the salon with a smile on my face and that smile has only gotten bigger. Since having my hair done this morning, I have several compliments; two of which have been from men. I?m looking forward to a night out with the girls tonight. ?Men, here I com...
WOW I can only say I Love my hair I have been to Sami for over a year and my color always looks great the shop is small and homey and there very nice Sami is very busy with all her help to the homeless her little girl and her full time job but she always seems to spend time with her clients and her eye for color is great I waited to do a review to see if it was always gone be great and yes my col...
I left a salon I was loyal to since 96' and the choice was not made in haste it was made due to becoming disappointed with the service I was getting. My former salon seemed to rush me though lately and did not seem to really "care" about what I wanted. Hair is speaking about you as a person and the business that cut, colored and styled it. I went on-line in desperation to find a "well reviewed"...
After trying many salons close to home (Clear Lake), none satisfied me. I've finally decided to go in town and what do I know, I finally found the perfect hair stylist! De?Ann knew exactly what I wanted - my highlights turned out great and she did exactly what I wanted for hair cut. I love the fact that she tells u what?s next in the process - make sure we?re on the same page. I've gotten lot...
JUST MOVED HERE!!!! Boy did I need a hair doctor. I needed a change but, nothing radical. De'Ann fixed me right up and honored all my requests while subtly adding her expert opinion. I have never had anyone cut my hair with such style and flair. I have been to many expensive salons in the past and I didn't get as nice of a cut there. I'll be back for sure and can say with pleasure "It's t...
Well she ROCKS Sami is very good at what she does sometimes blunt and to the point she is a great ARTIST I fly in twice a year to see her from Madrid or when I come to see my family and she always fixes what they mess up the women knows her color. Her shop is cute with lots of cool art and she is and amazing person sometimes she can be very much to the piont and way to honest but she can color...
I came in and my hair was a total mess my color was a night mare, the week before I had my highlights some where else and they did a sad jod. I called Sami and, she not only stayed late for me because I was in tears but did a great jod I travel all over the world and I have been to some pretty pricey hair salons for everything I got plus my glass of wine and all the great attention I did not pay ...
I am new to the Houston area and had been researching online to find a reputable, affordable, classy salon when I came across citysearch and "Touch of Red". The 159 positive reviews gave me a clue that Touch of Red was the perfect place for me. I have very short hair that has been damaged by coloring and bad shampoo/conditioner. I was in much need of new highlights and a new, sleek haircut. I...
This salon has everything! Sami Kent (owner and master colorist) has managed to include her talent with a soothing environment. From an ALWAYS pleasant receptionist, Daisy, and a very attentive staff, I have found my salon! They are truly interested in the desires of their clients. All of my experiences have been good. I HIGHLY recommend this salon to anyone.
Had my first haircut with DeAnn today. There was no waiting, we got started right away. Promptness is always a plus in my book. Salon decore is very ecclectic and cozy, classic Montrose style. I had a very relaxing shampoo and then basically let her have her way with the scissors. I walked in with bird nest hair and walked out with a chic and stylish bob. Beginning to end about 50 mins. Sh...
I came to See Sami last month and I was very pleased with her work. After reading all of the reviews on the internet, I decided to come see her and it was worth it. Sami's staff was very helpful and friendly and funny; they made feel very comfortable. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and I want to personally thank Sami for her talent. She really knows about hair cut and hair...
First, let me tell you that I worked in hair salon that was located in the "Post Oak and San Felipe" area -so that should give you an idea as to the type of salon it was. Having written this, I will tell you that I am very picky about my hair. Well, I will Never go back to that salon or even attempt to go the THAT area of town again!!! Sami and the girls are awesome. I was very worried about...
I am new to Houston and was lucky to find such a great stylist so quickly! The staff is all extremely nice. I LOVE how my color and cut turned out. Sami was able to give me the blonde color many other stylists had been unable to match. I felt like Sami spent her time styling my hair and I really loved the end result. When I needed an appointment quickly, I was able to be fit in in just a cou...
I had a great experience at this salon. I have very long, thick, dyed blonde hair with lots of breakage that desperately needed color correction when I arrived at Touch of Red (I had bands of color and what lowlights there were, were ashy). Sami sat me down with some books and asked me to show her some pictures of what I wanted my hair to look like. I pointed out one or two pictures and she re...
I was not disappointed in the service at all! It's a smaller salon, with a cozy, relaxed atmosphere, allowing for the staff to cater to my every need. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted, offered wine or anything else I could possibly want to drink, and shown to a seat to wait. My appointment was for a cut and full highlight with Deann, who turned out to be such a sweetie! She actually liste...
Attention all men !!!!!Just went to DeAnn at Sami's and absolutely loved my Haircut !!!!! I have very hard to deal with curly hair and she did an excellent job on it, i wear it very short and tight. She told me of her education with American Crew Academy( which is a very advanced school in Denver, Co for specializing in Mens haircuts only ) and I have to say I was very impressed with her hair ...
This place was fantastic! I wanted hot pink highlights and had spent some time calling around and researching. Touch of Red had the best reputation for highlights so I went in to check it out. The atmosphere inside is really funky with scented candles and Frida Kahlo art everywhere. Sami and all the other employees are very friendly and knowledgeable as well. They ordered my hair dye (since not m...
I listened to the great reviews and made an appointment with Sami. Her shop is adorable. She is a lot of fun and the visit was good. After I left I realized that the cut wasn't quite what I wanted, so I called 2 days later to see if she would fit me in for a few more snips (minor fix). She was booked (understandably) so I called a few days later. There were no times within the week that she could...
After I arrived at the shop, Sami had my hair washed and conditioned in no time. She asked what I do for a living (lawyer) and what kind of cut I wanted -- and she came up with a look that was just perfect. She snipped away for just a few minutes and then blew dry my hair at lightning speed -- but she never seemed like she was rushing and the hair cut turned out perfectly even and AWESOME! I l...
Sami was able to give me the best haircut and color I have ever had in my life! I went into the salon on a saturday morning feeling horrible, and down on myself. From the time I sat in the chair I started to instantly feel good and by the time I was all finished I was 100% better than when I went in... I feel wonderful and have been getting a plethora of comments from people who would have never ...
Sami is FANTASTIC!!! Highly recommend- two of my girlfriends will now be seeing Sami for their hair! Sami is fun, friendly and out-going and knows her hair! I went in not really knowing what I wanted to do other than darken my hair. She not only colored my hair perfectly to make my hazel eyes pop, but she gave me a spectacular hair cut; versatile enough to be conservative for work and fun for...
I went to Sami to get highlights done for the first time ever. I was really nervous because I had never done anything to my hair except shampoo, condition and blow-dry it. But, Sami was awesome and gave me some really pretty highlights and a fantastic haircut. She was extremely fast and very reasonably priced. I am so satisfied, I will be using Sami to do my hair from now on!
After trying different places for hair cuts, I was looking for something that would please me. I've always left most hair places not feeling like the work was quite right. I came to Touch of Red, and Sami greatly exceeded my expectations. The highlights and hair styling was superb and creative. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. They aim to please, and I will definitely make Sami my ha...
I have been going to Sami for about six months now for my cut and color. I am very picky about my hair stylists and in the past was flying back to Michigan to see one. I really trusted my old stylist to make me look amazing, and my hair always looked great. However, I am so glad that I found Sami to do my hair because not only am I saving time and airfare, my hair actually LOOKS EVEN MORE AMAZ...
Just went in to this salon today on Montrose and loved it !!!! My stylist was Deann and she did an awesome boliage technique with color on my hair plus a fantastic razor cut !!!! The salon atmosphere is very inviting, the staff seem very educated and are all very nice and accomodating , I had heard very good things about Sami at Touch of Red and I was very pleased with this salon, everyone make...
I had my hair colored somewhere else earlier and it turned out blotchy and uneven. I was desperate and called Sami @ touch of red and they were able to get me in with DeAnn. She knew exactly what i wanted and did a GREAT job of fixing my hair. Thanks DeAnn!!
They are very professional and stick to the times of appointments. The best haircut I've ever had. Very professional and courteous staff. Sami is handsdown one of the best people to deal with in the Houston area.
I was very impressed with my entire experience! I was able to get in on fairly short notice before the holidays (on a Monday, when they are not usually open, big plus that they extend their hours around the holidays when it is hard to make appointments). Sami was running late, but was courteous enough to call and let me know (another big plus, I have never had anyone do this before). But best ...
I just moved to Houston and found Sami on citysearch. I read her great reviews and decided to try her out. The whole experience was everything that everyone had raved about. She was very welcoming and fun to talk to. She is quick and very good at what she does. I loved my highlight and hair cut. I will definitely be going back there. Thanks Sami!
LOVED my new highlites and haircut I received by DeAnn at Touch of Red!!! I loved the atmosphere and everyone there was very professional and personable. It' was a great time and the best part was how great my hair looked afterwards. I had many compliments it's the best my hair has looked in years!!!!!
I just had cut and highlights with Sami this weekend, and I am so happy with the work she did. The color looks amazing and is just what I wanted. In addition to being great with hair, Sami is very sweet and personable. I highly recommend her!
I visited Sami 2 weeks before my wedding to have highlights. She gave me just the color I wanted and was very sweet about fulfilling my requests. I loved my hair for my big day...my sister told me my hair had never looked so good. I'm headed back to her next week with new ideas for what I want her to try! I know she'll listen to me and make sure I'm happy.
I have been going to high end salons forever. The best cut and color was done by Sami. She also told me my previous hairstylist used to completely bleach out my hair before color which ruinrd it. After Sami, she fixed my hair color and my hair is so much healthier. She is awesome and knows her stuff! Strongly rec. I reffered all my friends and family. I have never recieved so many complime...
This is my second visit to Sami. The first time she saved me by correcting my color and I was very pleased. This time was even better. I love my color and cut. Both time she knew exactly what I wanted and made it happen. The atmosphere is professional and fun. I would highly recommend Sami to anyone.
I've been going to high-end salons in Houston for over 11 years, and I am so impressed with Sami that I may never go to another salon again! I have a very specific color for my hair, and Sami wanted to be so sure she'd get the exact color I wanted that she ordered some specifically for me! She is generous, warm, and funny, and I not once felt that I had to force conversation as in other salons. T...
Going back to Sami for the third time next week, that is a record for me for the past couple of years! I have searched all over the Houston and surrounding area for someone like Sami and I'm so glad I finally found her - thanks to CitySearch!
She just looks at me and can tell what I want or need. She really is one of the most talented stylists I've ever been to. Not only is she a great styl...
Two months ago, I had my hair cut and highlighted by Sami. I'm of Indian descent, have a darker skin and naturally straight, black, shoulder-length hair. Given this, I knew that choosing the right color of highlights that didn't look too gaudy would be a challenge. I brought my laptop with photos of people of similar skintones and highlighted hair to give Sami an idea of what I wanted. (BTW, ...
I got my hair cut and highlighted by Sami. Not only was it a good time (she's a lot of fun), but she took into account what i wanted and then made it even better than what I had in mind. I have gotten many compliments for my hair since and am excited to return...
It is a small venue and personal which is a nice place to feel at home.
As a new resident of Houston, I am happy to have found ...
I am fairly new to Houston and looking on this sight made me call Sami because of all the good reviews. She did an awsome job on my hair bringing more of a natural look back to me and everyone that worked there was friendly and nice. It also has easy parking on the streets around the area and is in a nice older neighboorhood that kind of reminds me of some the neighboorhoods back home in Portla...
I couldn't be happier with my visit to Touch of Red. I can't decide whether I like the color or the cut best. I would certainly recommend this salon. Not only did it turn out great it all happened so fast.
The 125+ glowing reviews for Sami don't lie. I'm new to the Houston area and was worried about finding a new stylist I could trust to manage my very curly, very thick hair. After getting a great cut and fantastic color from Sami, I'm not worried anymore. She has a great sense of what is going to look good for her clients. And yet, at the same time, she listens to and gives what the client wan...
Not only do you receive great and friendly customer service, but you receive great results as well!!!
I am a brown-haired Hispanic girl who wanted a touch of blonde highlights. The stylist left me with mostly blonde hair which can really make a hispanic girl with brown eyes and tan colored skin stand out!!!!!!! =) I called Sami on Sunday prepared to leave a message since I assumed it would be ...
I'm a bit late..but better late then never right? I went to Sami early Aug. She did an amazing job, I have gotten so many compliments. I have dark curly hair and she did wonders. My hair has always come out orange and horrible. She is quick and did an amazing job! It's been almost 2 months and my hair still looks great, you can hardly see the regrowth. Very natural! See you soon Sami!
Sami was kind enough to squeeze me in on short notice. After asking me what I wanted in terms of both cut and color, Sami offered her own recommendation, taking into consideration my skin tone, as well as my profession. The final product was just as she intended it to be. I'll be back.
The best salon I've been to. I Highly Recommend Sami and her business partners for anything regarding Hair. . It's an inviting and diverse environment. Go
I saw Sami today for the first time. I walked in with orange, very damaged hair. I walked out with beautiful color, no orange, and a fabulous cut. Sami took the time to sit down and find out the history of my hair, find out what I wanted, and gave me lots of suggestions. I have naturally wavy/curly/frizzy hair that suffered from bad hair cuts and coloring in the past. Now I have beautiful ha...
I have very thick, natural curly, wavy hair and ALOT of it. She has done my color and highlights and they are awesome. She gave me a great cut that that makes me look younger and is easy to take care of. She is fast too. Color, cut, blowdry, flat ironed and was walking out 1 1/2 hrs later. My hair looks like a million. Thanks Sami.
I found Sami @ Touch of Red after going all over Houston in search of a great colorist. I have thick, curly hair so getting highlights can be scary-- I would usually leave even trendy/expensive salons unhappy with the color of my hair. I went to Touch of Red, and I immediately knew that Sami knew what she was doing. The staff is great, the environment is fun and welcoming, and I left in practica...
I went to change my highlights recently with Sami, and I am extremely happy with my results. This was my first visit to her salon. Great atmosphere and very nice people. I definitely have a new look, and that is what I came in looking for. She is quick to foil the hair, and actually the quickest I have ever seen. She covered my entire head with foil, which created fine strands of color, not ...
After so much searching I finally found the one! Sami can take one look at you and know exactly waht to do for you. My color has never looked better and the cut is perfect every time! She is organized, efficient, and has a great eye for cut color the works! Everyone at the salon is friendly helpful and easygoing. The salon has great energy and is really comfortable, and Sami is a true artist!
Went to see Sami recently for the first time, after reading such great reviews on this site about her and her salon. Sami was very personable, high energy! She consulted with me about what I was wanting to achieve in highlights. I had been bleaching my own hair (I know) and it had grown out about 2 inches, because I wanted to go back to highlights. Sami suggested (and did) using high lift bl...
Sami highlighted my very hard to color hair and gave me the best haircut I've had in a long time. She looked at my hair, asked what I had in mind and away we went. I really trusted her judgement on the cut and I am very happy. The highlights are great and I've had many compliments. Also, I was in and out in two hours! I've already made my next appointment! Thanks Sami!
I do not know where to begin, whether I should talk about the great job Sami did on my hair or the great service I recieved. From the moment I walked in I felt at home, Sami and her crew make you feel like you are an old friend. I LOVED IT!!! I told Sami that I was just ready to move in : ) The atmosphere in the salon was great, relaxed, and has a great "home" feel to it.
Now the only thing I ...
I found out about Sami first in city search. I got a haircut and high light and i was very very happy. Also Sami has a very warm personality which makes the experience even better. i am certainly going back.
I just came back from Touch of Red and got some highlights done from DeAnn. She is a true gem, she is so nice and easy to work with and I just brought a picture of what I wanted my highlights to look like and she did just that. I would highly recommend Touch of Red , it works for me
Wonderful coloring even on dark, asian hair. Very friendly and professional staff. Would recommend this place to anybody.
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT SHE DID MY HAIR IN HALF THE TIME IT NORMALLY TAKES TO DO MY HAIR AT MY OTHER SALON! I WAS SHOCKED! I HAVE VERY DARK HAIR, AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT AFTER SAMI GOT DONE WITH MY HAIR. I WORK ALOT SO I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET IN AND OUT QUICKLY! SO GLAD I WENT BY THE REVIEWS ON CITYSEARCH! MY HAIR COLOR NEVER LOOKED BETTER....IT LOOKS SOOO NATURAL! I WILL BE BACK. T...
It is no accident that Sami has 100+ fantastic reviews- she is truly an expert. I've been all over Houston from reputible chains, to boutiques and I have never been this satisfied. It took her all of 25 minutes for full highlights (in two colors and correcting a previous disaster) and I have rediculously thick hair. Then the cut, which i'm very particular about and everyone screws up because its...
Just moved here from out-of-state and used houston citysearch to find a colorist. By far the raves for "Sami" were the best. Made the appointment and very glad I went. Being a brunette adding highlights can be tricky and look too overdone. Matter-of-fact my coloring needed some work and Sami's work made me look lighter and fresher. The cut was also exactly as I envisioned, actually better than wh...
I have been searching for a colorist for awhile now and came across Sami and her salon on city search and gave it a try and the results were awesome. It was the best color and cut and I truly recommend Sami to anyone that is looking for a expert.
I went to Sami after reading all the reviews. I figured if she could not help me with this overprocessed hair then no one could. We discussed my hairstyle, then color. Service was great and quick without being rushed. It was so much more intimate than sitting in a mall salon where you are on exhibit like an animal in a zoo. She did a great job on my hair and the next day I received lots of c...
First off allow me to say that yes, Sami is a very nice and an inviting women. Her new salon in the Montrose area is cute and unique not your typical bright lights, strip mall hair salon. I'll even say that the first day of my color/cut I felt pretty good with the results but then I got home and to a mirror. It goes down hill from here. To sum it up..possibly the worst highlight/color I've ev...
After reading the great reviews I knew that Sami had to be the one to fix my hair and the reviews were true. My hair was "blorange" before and now the color is absolutely gorgeous! The atmosphere was very inviting. Sami is very friendly, funny, and easy to talk to. The staff was great as well. I really liked that Sami listened to what I wanted and gave me great suggestions for my highlights and c...
I'm a latina with almost black hair and olive skin. It has been difficult to find someone that can lighten my hair to a light brown color and highlights. It always turns out too blond or too brassy. From the moment Sami saw me she thought "Whoa, she has too much yellow in her hair." I barely had to explain what I wanted and Sami understood that I wanted hair color like JLo. Don't laugh. :) ...
Before I begin, I want you to know that as far as hair is concerned, I am very experienced and very discriminating. I will soon see Sami for my fifth visit. She has both cut and colored my hair. This is what I have experienced. First, she listens to how you envision your hair and gives you what you have requested. She then adds her own touches that exceed your best expectations. Her color is b...
Since I am in high school I like to have all the trendy cute hair styles - I can bring Sami any picture and she can match the cut and the highlights. For the past two years she is the only one that cuts and highlights my hair . I'm very happy going here!
Alex
I love the long layers Sami put in my hair and the added highlights. My hair looks so much healthier now.
Alex *****************
Sami did such a great job on both of my daughter's hair that I had to have my done also. My previous hair stylist had made my hair too light and the cut was just "there". Both of these problems combined into a very washed-out unflattering appearance. Sami...
Sami did a great job of quickly highlighting and cutting my hair. It took less than an hour and a half. She was also very friendly.
Very casual, welcoming, and super hip atmosphere! Sami listens to what you are trying to go for and guides you in a direction that works with your skin tone and lifestyle. Not to mention she's a seasoned professional and can get the job done in record time! Sami gave me a great cut without getting rid of too much length (at my request) and fantastic highlights. Even though she has an extensi...
I went to see Sami after reading all of the great reviews. I was in desperate need of a good haircut and that is exactly what I got. I was impressed that she took the time to find out what I did for work, and in turn, that helped her figure out what kind of time I had to spend on my hair. I was in and out in no time without feeling like I had been rushed. Based on my experience, I would think y...
I loooooved my hair! I look like a new person, but still feel comfortable with my look. I've never received so many compliments in my life! Sami is super cool, and she will make you feel at home. The best thing about my visit was the fact that she personally sat down with me and asked what i wanted, and gave me a hint of what look she will be doing for me. THanks a million Sami!!!!!
WOW!!! I really didn't know what I was getting myself into when I set up the appt. to meet w/ Sami. I have gotten so may compliments on my color & cut, and that makes you feel the Sh#@!A couple of years ago, I lost a really good hairdresser. I didn't know where to start, I had my share of horror stories. It's like getting back into the dating scene; you're scared, skeptical, you wonder if you are...
Amazing Color! I'm new in town and was concerned about getting a new colorist. The reviews are true! Sami is a true professional! She listened to what I wanted and my highlights are awesome. She even recommended a few great restaurants in the area for me to try. If she is as good as picking restaurants as she does hair, I may never cook again!
Finally, a hair stylist who really listens and has the experience and talent to give a fantastic haircut along with the perfect color! I have been trying for years to find someone who would take the time to talk with me and figure out the type of style and color that would fit my lifestyle and personality. Sami is not only a credit to her profession, but a truly warm person who made me feel at...
I have never been to a salon where all I have to do is sit down and Sami knew exactly what I wanted and needed! I have long hair and she new what that I looked good in it and did not want to cut it, like most hair dresser's I have gone too. I was very please w/ the time she took to listen to me and also get me in and out! I am very please w/ my new look and I would highly recommend Sami to anyone...
The enviroment was very welcoming. Sami listened to what I wanted and did want and mde some excellent suggestions in both a haircut and highlight/lowlights that would suit my coloring & lifestyle. Her staff was very attentive, offering me a beverage to enjoy during my appointment. I left with a fabulous haircut and will be coming back in the near future for those suggested highlights/lowlights...
This was my second visit to Sami. The first time I was touching up my blonde highlights and on the most recent visit I opted for a drastic change and went dark. She took my light blonde hair to a very rich chocolate brown with beautiful auburn highlights. She did exactly what I wanted! Actually, better than what I wanted! I took in three pictures and we discussed what I liked about the hair...
It is very hard to change hair stylists, but Sami made it easy. Sami was real friendly and concerned with my satisfaction with my haircut and color. She did a great job and guaranteed if I was not completely satisfied with the cut or the color I could call within two weeks and she would make it right. She definitely gave me the cut and color that I wanted rather than "a hair dresser knows best...
This was my second trip to see Sami. I am supporter of her, her staff and her salon - I commend her for taking control of her career and doing things here way because the results are outstanding.
Sami and I got far more bold on this second visit with my color and I am so happy we did - at this point, we know each other far better and I could not be happier. Sami has a way of evaluating you, yo...
I have lived in Houston for two years and have finally found a stylist I trust to cut and highlight my hair! Sami gave me a cute cut without getting rid of too much length, as stylists often do, and gorgeous highlights without taking hours to do it. I have already sent friends to Sami and will definitely be back.
After having my appt canceled and rearranged by another salon, i was very upset. I found touch of red at the last minute and Sami was able to work me in. My experience was wonderful. Her location is perfect and the house is adorable. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Sami herself was excellent. She showed me a couple of hairstyles she thought would look good and she made sure she kept my l...
Sami did a great job with my hair...I'm thrilled with my new highlights (and I'm a hard customer to please). Not only is she a pleasure to talk to but she is also extremely talented. The place is super cute, with a Frida Kahlo motif, and it is obvious that customer service and great hair are their priorities. Sami truly lives up to her reviews. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Mil Gracias!
Sami is very professional and fast. She was wonderful with my color. I will be referring her to all my friends and family. The place is very small but relaxing.
LOVED IT!!!!!!!! When I went to see Sami, my hair looked like a family of chickens had lived there, my hair was extremely long and curley. By the time she was done, which was not as long as I had expected, my hair was gorgous. I could not help but stair into her mirror and wonder who that was. I have never received so many compliments about my hair. I really went from the ugly duckling to a ...
I went to Touch of red on Saturday and Oh what fun. The salon is a house they have redone in the Montrose area and Sami and her staff are great Kenny ROCKS!!! Sami did a thing called Marbelizing she foiled me with 4 or 5 diffrent colors it looks like Jenifer Aniston you know the movie star I look HOT!!! Sam is LOUD BLUNT and does not sugar coat a thing but she knows her work lets say it took 5 w...
I Lost my hair do to health problems , this last year I got new hair, I was so scared to color my hair, Sami worked with me took her time and gentely walked me thru the highlights she was very honest and let me know she would not perm me because of all the medication I had taken so we did a soft highlight and Me and my family are very pleased my medical problems have been very hard on us but she ...
When I went to see Sami, I needed corrective color BADLY and had no haircut to speak of. I left with amazing highlighs/lowlights and a hot new haircut! I haven't been this happy with my hair in years. Sami and everyone there made me feel comfortable and welcome being from out of town, the price was reasonable, and I got out in plenty of time to enjoy my Friday night (did I mention that she eve...
My experience at Touch of Red was superb! Sami was so accomodating in doing my hair. When i wasn't 100% satisfied with my hair on the 1st visit, she was able to squeeze me in the very next day in her busy schedule, and colored it exactly as i wanted. That is great service!! she was bursting with positive energy, along with her staff, and for the first time, I left the salon in excellent mood....
I went to Sami to have my hair cut because of all the great reviews here, and I am so happy that I did! Not only is Sami an expert at what she does, she is very friendly and warm and she listens and then she expertly does what you have told her was important to you. Also, and this is amazing since she specializes in color - I asked about color and she said she wouldn't change my color at all, ...
This was my first experience with Sami and it was fantastic. I love my hair. She took my bad highlights from another salon and turned my hair into what it's meant to look like. Very very personable, lenthusiastic, sweet. The atmosphere was just great. I am going to recommend all my friends to Sami. She is the best hairdresser I have found, full stop.
I grew up in the Houston area and have tried several hairstylists and colorists but I've been very lazy for the past year and neglected my hair. I had my first appointment with Sami this morning and I am BEYOND pleased!!!After talking to her for maybe five minutes about what I wanted (I wasn't really sure) she started to work and the results are beautiful! She got just the right blend of colors a...
Went to the new Salon on Montrose and Fairview. It looks great. This was my first time experience with Sami and she did a good job. I will be back for a second visit. I will keep you informed.
I have never had my hair highlighted so I was pretty nervous about going to Sami's. She made me feel so comfortable and did such a great job on my hair coloring. She even gave me a fabulous cut! I will definitely be going back!! :)
I am new to the Houston area so needed to find a hair salon in the area. I have VERY thick hair so I need someone who really knows what they are doing when they cut my hair. Sami was great. Not only did she provide me with a great new haircut, she and her staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I already have my appointment to get highlights from her as well. I've definitely found my new...
I went in to Touch of Red and left everything in Sami's hands! I am always leary about letting someone I don't know touch my hair but thank goodness I did because I walked in looking average and walked out looking like a goddess! Whatever your expectations are, I promise you they will be exceeded. The decor in the salon is fun and the atmosphere is relaxing. All the staff is accomdating, frie...
SAMI HAS BEEN DOING MY HAIR FOR YEARS NOW AND I WOULD NOT TRADE HER FOR THE WORLD!!! SHE IS EXTREMLY TALENTED. SHE WILL LEAVE YOU LOOKING AND FEELING GREAT! YOU CAN TALK TO HER AND NOT FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. SHE IS GREAT!! TWO THUMBS UP!!
I just moved to the Houston area and have beeen very nervous about finding a new stylist - but I just got a cut and color yesterday from Sami and she is definitely going to be it! I was in desperate need of a cut and highlites, since I kept putting it off, but in only an hour and a half she had me looking beautiful again. My highlites look great and she styed it really cute. The atmosphere is f...
I was in need of a new color bad! Sami is the sweetest most down to earth person, I just love her. My multicolored hair came out beautifully and the haircut just set my hair off. Sami sits with you and helps you find out what's best for you. She is quick and very professional she makes it look easy! Thank you Sami you have a new lifetime client. Shannon
Sami gave me highlights and a haircut yesterday for the first time and it was a great experience. Sami is very talented, pays attention to detail, customizes both the cut and color to the individual, and provides a timely, efficient, artistic service. On top of that, she is just fun to be around! I had been unhappy with the cut and highlights from my longtime hairdresser for some time, so I wa...
I moved to Houston from Manhattan two years ago and have not found a better colorist here or in New York. Sami was genuinely interested in me and what I wanted. I am so happy with my highlights and so impressed with how fast and professionally she works. She knows what she is doing and I highly recommend her. The team at Touch of Red is great! You won't be disappointed.
I just moved to Houston, so I had to find a new salon for getting highlights...I picked the right salon by going to Sami because she gave me the best highlifts to my blond hair that I've ever had! Sami takes extra time to get to know you as a person and understand exactly what you want in your haircut and color! You will leave satisfied. She's fun and works quickly--I had a great cut and perfe...
I read all of the wonderful reviews and knew I had to give Sami a try. I am so glad that I did. Not only did she live up to those reviews, she far exceeded them! I will definitely be going back and also sending all of my friends to her, too!
I was in serious need of multi-tonal hair, but never knew it. For years, I went to salons to get a single process coloring, and that's not what natural hair looks like. Sami used several colors to lift my brassy blonde and make it look natural and full. Great personality and TOTALLY unpretentious - just what I love in salons! I will follow you to your new salon - thank you Sami and Shannon!! - Wh...
This is the happiest I've ever been with my hair! Sami is absolutely wonderful - I've been to many different salons in Houston over the past 5 years, and I have now found one that I will never leave. Sami is a true professional and great at what she does! The entire appointment was truly enjoyable, and she knew exactly what cut and color would look the best on me.
Sami did a wonderful job of listening to what I wanted and helping me realize what it was I actually wanted. My color turned out wonderful and I am so happy with the results. She is very good at listening and guiding you to the right colors for your skin tone and hair style. I will definitely refer her to even the pickiest client!
Today was amazing meeting Sami - not only a very talented colorist, but an enthusiastic, vivacious, and giving woman who can sum up exactly what you want in minutes. I had kept the same hairstylist for over 7 years and was so fearful of letting anyone else touch my hair. My highlights are a beautiful beige blonde with gorgeous low lights that are not brassy or yellow at all. After I left the s...
I was having a stressful, horrible, no good day until I walked into sami @ Monica seymour hair design. First of all, she put a smile on my face with the most wonderful service. She paid attention to what I wanted to do with my hair and she did a better job than I could even think of. I walked in feeling like crap and walked out feeling like a million bucks. If you want someone to do your hair bet...
Sami knew exactly what to do with my hair, even though I didn't. She is knowledgeable and has a good way of figuring out what people want and what is good for their hair. I'll definitely be returning.
I am so glad I found Sami! She is wonderful! I was unsure of what I wanted when I came to see her so I brought some pictures and she helped me pick a cut and color that was perfect for me. It's only been a couple of days but I've already received so many compliments on my hair. I'm definitely coming back.
My husband and I were in need of a major make-over. I had the traditional straight Asian hair style. My husband spent nine years in the Army as a paratrooper, and he requested a style that was contemporary yet corporate. Sami was able to do just that. We needed to come in early, and Sami was willing to meet with us an hour before normal business hours. Her ability using highlights was amazin...
Sami is such a great hairstylist!. I had her fix my layers that another salon botched up 7 weeks ago. She did a wonderful job with the cut and the color. I am incredibly happy with the results. Well worth the money. The parking isn't so great, but that will change hopefully when she moves to her new place on Montrose. Go see her, you won't be disappointed.
. . . I have found someone who is talented, listens and doesn't over charge!! I am very pleased with both my cut and my highlights!!! For entirely too long I have been trying to find a great stylist here in Houston! I was so tired of paying tons of money for an OK cut with someone who will not listen to what I want! - And then try to sell you on products, services, treatments, etc. that I don'...
I was looking for a new stylist and found Sami on the internet. She made me feel like I have known her for years. I felt at home and I told her that I did not know what I wanted; however, knew I did not like my color and needed a new style. My color/highlights is beautiful and the cut is great! I keep getting complients and I will definitely be using Sami from now on.
Sami loves being a hairdresser and manages it very well. You can tell the minute you walk into her salon. She greets you, offers you something to drink (not all salons do this!) and gives you her attention when your telling her what you want your hair to look like when you leave her salon. She is quick, professional, gives you her opinion and gets the job done! When Sami was done with my ha...
Sami is my hero. I have read some of the reviews on here and they were all positive, which encouraged me to go and try her with my hair. However, I was still a bit nervous... My previous experiences with highlights in other places ended up lasting hours; my hair always comes up orange and they had to do it and redo it... I am from middle eastern origins and my black hair has tendency to turn oran...
Sami is truly an amazing stylist with her creative eye for color and style of cuts. Her professional yet caring demeanor and wonderful charismatic style has been the highlight of my hair appointments. I highly recommend her for your new look and color, she truly is a genius and a master at her profession. Not to mention that the rest of the staff makes you feel like you are part of their family. ...
Sami is incredible! I have never been able to find a really good hair stylist, but Sami exceed all my expectations. As soon as I walked in, I told her what I always wanted my hair to look like. She showed me a few pictures, and they were exactly what I wanted. The best part is she was able to give me the results! My hair looks so amazing! I have gotten so many complements on it. The only con is p...
Finally, I found someone who really understands my hair. After a very stressful day, I was met at the door with a friendly smile. Sami took one look at my hair and knew the potential. The color was perfect. The highlights were perfect. The cut was perfect. The atmosphere was amazing. Who knew that getting your hair done could be such a great experinece? I will definately return and recommend ...
Sami is a genious in my book! I was hesitant going to a new salon and didn't really know what I wanted to do with my hair I just knew I didn't want the same dull hair. Sami made me feel so relaxed and comfortable and she just knew exactly what to do. I will definitly be returning.
Having just moved to the Houston area I had no idea where to go to for my hair coloring and highlights. I researched beauty salons on the internet and spoke with several different salons regarding prices and availability, but it wasn't until I spoke with Sami at Monica Seymour Hair Designs that I felt confident that this wouldn't be a "risky" choice. Sure enough Sami was spunky and friendly and m...
I was more than a bit hesitant to trust my hair to someone after being with the same hair styling professional for more than 7 years. Circumstances being what they are, I relied on information from Citysearch for a good hair care professional. That is how I found Sami. I instantly felt welcome. I have never, EVER, had the results that I got from her. She doesn't use any harsh chemicals or product...

For over 2 years I have been looking for a new stylist but have been so unhappy. After finding Sami on City Serach I called her and got an appointment that fit my schedule. I love my color and cut. And I had a GREAT time while it was happening! I was able to duplicate the hair style without any problem. I felt like I received the personal touch not just being hearded through.
I went to Sami about four weeks ago and my hair looks great...I moved to Houston about two years ago and was having a hard time finding a hair stylist. When I walked into my appointment my hair color was brassy and looked terrible; when Sami was finished with me my color and cut looked great. She gave me the best blond highlights, brown low lights, and cut of anyone I have went to since I moved...
I tried 3 places in Houston (one was a big name salon) and I found the work mediocre. My highlights looked streaky and unfinished in the back. Sami does quality work. My hair is very natural looking and she gave me a very cute, low maintenance cut. I don't even have to curl it. Comfortable atmosphere. Tucked away in the Rice village area I would highly recommend this hidden treasure.
Great atmosphere, friendly environment, wonderful haircut and highlights. I haven't had my hair cut or colored in years because it's been difficult to find someone who wouldn't turn my hair orange. Definitely will be going back for future!
My husband found Sami for me and thank goodness he did. She' truly a pro. I had a wonderful experience. I never received so many compliments on my hair before. I just love it!
After jumping around between hair salons all over Houston, I have finally found a stylist that I will enjoying visiting for years to come. I enjoyed Sami and the salon because of the quaint atmosphere and personalized attention. It felt like being at home. If you want highlights and a hair trim then go see Sami.
I went to visit Sami today, and I am so glad that I did. I was a hair nomad, traveling around Houston, letting hairdressers everywhere ruin my hair...I think I have now found a home. Sami fixed my terrible color and gave me fantastic highlights. My previous cut was very uneven (one side longer than other) and she gave me a cute cut. When my husband noticed without prompting, I knew I had some...
My hair was limp and blah but Sami gave me a cut that suited my face and my schedule (it looks great even without blow drying). The salon is really cute, and Sami made me feel right at home, unlike some other salons where you feel like you're being scrutinized. Great value, too. Thanks, Sami! I'll be back.
Sami was very helpful in helping me find a suitable hair color and making me look GREAT!!! The salon is quite small and modest with lots of character, very stylish but simple. I love going there it is so relaxing, she does your hair while you drink a complimentary glass of wine, which I find to be wonderful!!! Another perk of course is that you always come out looking and feeling great. If your l...
I found Sami on this website and I am so glad I did! She was wonderful. She picked out the perfect haircut and style for me, and I am going back for color. The salon itself was so relaxing and laid back. I immediately felt like I was friends with all the women there. Oh, and I also got a pedicure while I was there. This is your one stop shop for beauty and relaxation.
Sami is great! She's very personable and honest. She knows instantly by looking at you, what colors will and will not look good for your skin tones. As well, the same for a haircut. She is very quick also! I will definitely go back!
When you move to a new city, there are always two things you must find, a mechanic and a stylist - With curly hair, I am always trepidatious when trying a new salonist because the color would be slightly off or the hairstyle would never look the same the next day (or even a few hours later in this humidity). Sami did a wonderful job with putting my fears to ease and I was able to replicate my ha...
Had a great time being at the salon. Everyone is really fun and outgoing. Loved Sami...she sat down with me and asked me what I wanted and then we went on from there. She gave me a great haircut and BEAUTIFUL color and highlights. It was EXACTLY what I had pictured if not BETTER. She did a wonderful job and she is very, very good at what she does.
Thanks Sami, hope to see you again soon! I wi...
I AM SO EXTREMELY HAPPY AND GREATFUL TO SAMI......SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING...I HAVE HAD A VERY HARD TIME FINDING SOMEONE WHO CAN DO A GREAT JOB, SAMI IS SO GREAT. HER PRICES ARE VERY FAIR AND SHE IS QUICK! I HAVE BEEN TO MANY PEOPLE IN HOUSTON AND SHE IS THE BEST THERE IS!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love, love, my hair. Sami was very nice and super caring, with great advise on my hair. I let her do her thing, though I was nervous, and I'm glad I did. My Asian hair is not ghetto orange, but soft with 4 different shades, and makes my skin even glow. I just got it done yesterday and already I've already had compliments. Not only is my hair fabulous but the salon itself is spunky wi...
I was desperate to do my hair before the new year. I made my appointment and showed up on time. Sami performed her magic on my hair. I wanted to go Red but she knew me and suggested for my hair and my personal needs that we should go with cooper. Of course, she was right. So, I would recommend Sami to anyone who needs some great color in their hair.
i'd gone a long time without having my hair cut or highlighted since moving from san antonio. finding a new stylist is always nerve racking. i found sami on this website and thought i'd give her a try based on her great reviews. i was not disappointed. it's rare to find a great stylist on your first try, but she did a great job with my highlights and cut. it's a small salon and a little hard to f...
Lets say my hair is hot my hair was a mess I had gone to another local salon and they ruined my hair it was black orange and grey. I came in Sami asked a couple of questions and off to work she went in no time my hair was great. The shop is small and sassy and the atmosphere is great, wine good music and a great color specalist and the nail lady Tammy did my nails best of all I was not broke at t...
Sami is truely an amazing, caring, friendly, professional hair artist. I was referred to her by a friend after suffering a severe allergic reaction to the hair color applied at an uncaring, upscale salon. My color was awful and my hair and scalp fried. Sami calmed my fears. She gave me the most amazing color, cut and style I have ever had. I have never received this many compliments on my hair. S...
It's been a few years since I've had highlights and after months of looking....I've finally found the perfect hair stylist! Sami knew exactly what I wanted and my highlights turned out great. It didn't come out orange or burned. I've gotten alot of compliments from people of how great my hair looks. She does an excellent job on Asian hair!

I was referred over to Monica by a co-worker....JoAnn...My hair "Guy" of 10 years is moving, so had to find a new place. Was a great 1st time experience. Just had a cut this time, but I think I want to try out their color wheel next time!!
Thanks Monica...and Sami ..oh yeah, and the "xray tech / secretary / janitor / mode;", that let me use her hair cut as an example.

Sami is amazing when it comes to hair styles and color. I normally have no idea what I want done with my hair, I just know what I don't want to have done. I trusted her to make it look good and she definitely did. She does a great job with highlights and lowlights and is very friendly and sociable. The salon has a great atmosphere and is a very relaxing experience.
Sami is great! She knew exactly what to do with my color with one look at me. I was so pleased, and the atmosphere in the salon is perfect--down to earth and sassy--I felt like a regular the first time I came in. Great value too. I had been paying double for highlight/color/cut at another salon. Parking can be a little hard to find in the Village, so go early.
I went to Sami at Monica Seymour's Hair Design on a referral from a friend. My hair had been so damaged from previous color, and on top of that, BLEACH! My color was totally fried, I was gold at my roots and almost platinum on the rest of my length, but Sami corrected the color in only 30 minutes. She was amazingly fast, accurate with my color and she made me look incredible. Although we had t...
I am a Guy, that doesn't let just anyone play with my hair and like it, but Sami Kent at Monica Seymour's is a great hairstylist. When it comes to hightlights she gets closest to the roots and makes it look natural adding different colors and texures. If you have dark hair and are considering going dark to light I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair but Sami. She doesn't distroy it and mak...
Sami rocks my hair was a total mess it was dyed black by another hair salon, not by choice , she did corrective color and it was a beautiful blonde with low lights not only was it great it did not break me.

Sami is the most amazing hair colorist, she is great with LATIN HAIR I have been to so many hair salons looking for the JLO color and I always walk out with orange hair with the little information I gave her and the one picture I had of Jenifer Lopez she made a wondeful brown with beautiful beige highlights not orange and if your LATIN orange is not good, and to top it off my hair is curly she m...

A couple of weeks ago I called and Sami was able to squeeze me in othe day I had a formal to attend to fix my gross strawberry blondish roots I got from another salon. She transformed me into a blonde bombshell in no time flat and I've had a minimum of 10 people say "I didn't even recognize you, you look amazing!" I actually missed my MAC makeup appointment due to the fact that I determined my ha...
Sami is a great color specalist, a week prior I had been to another up scale salon and I walked out with a mess. Sami made my mess a great work of art with a brown base and light golden highlights and the cut rocked she took 10 years off me, ask her for trioge color lets say I found the hairdresser not a hairdresser thanks

She is skilled in various massage modalities, Reiki, stretching, Thai massage and Swedish massage. Onc...
let me just say that if you're a blonde you MUST go see Sammi at Monica's salon. THE BEST colorist I have ever had. She is the ONLY hairdresser that actually listened to the color I wanted and didn't do what she wanted. I know when I am sitting in her chair I never have to worry. hi-lights are her specialty, she gets so close to the root you look like a natural blonde when you leave.Styling is gr...

I recently found Sami after a disastrous experience at another "upscale & trendy" salon, which wiped out my blonde highlights and left red tones that I absolutely hated. Cautious, I met with Sami for an emergency consult. She immediately knew how to fix it, and I left her salon with the most fabulous color & highlights EVER. It looked just like the "picture" I had brought in. Sami listens an...
Let me say Sami is a wonderful color specalist I found her thru city search and the girl knows her color. This is the best high light I have ever had. I have been to the best salons in New York and California and she is wonderful I will be flying in for my color. Not only did she fix my color she got me fixed up with the Massage lady Minerva there is NO WORDS to say thanks city search this place ...
I have never been to a hairdresser that can look at you and know what exact color would complement your face and features, Sami does. I have a very hard color mix in my hair, black and cherry red and she does an amazing job of creating the same beautiful mix every time! I am so pleased with her work and wanted to have the chance to let others know. Sami is also an amazing hair stylist, she has t...
The parking is bad in the village, but if I had to park in the great wall of china and walk, it would of been well worth it, Sami is a great color specalist my hair was mustard yellow I showed her a picture of Heather Locklear and WOW it was a match. The salon is small, modest with a spark and great warmness. I have a very high profile job and Sami made me feel like one of the girls I laughed cut...
The place is small with so much character its great, my hair rocks Sami is great with foils she has great chair side manner and with the few words we exchanged she made my hair a work of art thanks .
I have been going to Monica for color and hair design for 6 years. She is an absolute hair wizard! Monica is not only a gifted stylist, but she is delightfully friendly and warm. Her salon is a place where clients feel welcomed and pampered. The Rice Village location is centrally located and convenient. Monica's clients become her friends, and remain her clients always. Her shop offers massage,...
I recently visited Sami for the first time with a complete mess on my head. My "blond" hair was now a mixture of mustard yellow and orange thanks to another stylist at a neighboring salon. Sami not only returned me to what I consider the perfect color blond, she did it in record time. I was literally in and out of the salon in one hour. That included her meticulous highlighting job, a haircut...
