I have never had a color last as long as the one done by Jill. I had so many compliments weeks even after my hair was cut. I have short hair and if it still looks great 3-4 weeks after a cut you know your hairdresser did a fantastic job. Everyone is super friendly and interesting to speak wi...

I have not been to any other colorist who makes my hair look this good and does not damage it.
In addition, when I have an appointment to get my hair done, I look forward to a laid-back and interesting experience. I enjoy taking t...

However, on my third visit - an appointment I made six weeks in advance for the first timeslot of the day (9:00 a.m.) - I walked in to find Jill working on someone else. She explained that the woman had to pick her daughter up at 11:00 so she was going to take her first. She said she'd only be 10 minutes gettin...

I returned to Houston from NYC last summer and unfortunately let my hair grow out very long and it lost it's short cut shape. See, I have very curly hair. I mean REALLY curly hair. And to find a stylist who can work with my hair is sometimes a tall order.

It's amazing what she can do with color (and it's not easy keeping away the grey)! The shop is quirky and very much an institution in the Heights. You'll never let anyone else touch your hair.

I know this place has exceptional reviews from everyone but I just didn't have that experience there. It is comfortable. The staff is very friendly. I just don't think the skill to color or cut is there which is why we go to a salon in the first place. My color looked good after leaving there for about a week and then it just went to an off, unwelcome shade. My cut was just horrible, I could...

I figured that it would take 2 or more cuts to get it back to a managable state. Wrong. Jill took her time, was very precise, listened exactly to what I wanted and I got a GREAT haircut. After an afternoon working in my back yard... it still looked great.
The price was also one of the most reasonable I have encoun...
