Ratings_icons Kimbrough is an Amazing Stylist!

Shan2010

I have worked with Kimbrough for a number of years and she never ceases to amaze me! I had a complete style, trim, and color done by Kimbrough at the Azur salon a little over a week ago, and my hair was amazing upon completion. My hair was soft and manageable, with body and sheen! The color alone was simply gorgeous.

My hair requires care and attention, and Kimbrough brings both a very human and professional touch to her work. I thoroughly enjoy working with Kimbrough, and I HIGHLY recommend her to people who are searching for a stylist who has skill and cares about their hair.

Kimbrough places a premium on quality hair care, and the products at Azur salon are top notch. If you?re ready for healthy, beautiful hair, definitely make an appointment with Kimbrough.

Pros: Professional, Skilled, Personable

Cons: None

Ratings_icons Chris is AMAZING....just saying!

lb8081

Chris took his time to give me an in-depth consulation. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I got the best haircut I have ever had and I going to refer all of my friends to him.

Pros: Friendly staff, consultation, knowledge, precision haircut

Cons: none

Ratings_icons Kimbrough is SHEAR GENIUS!!!

Bhall

I don't usually write reviews but I just have to plug the besty stylist and salon H-town has to offer! Since moving to Houston 3 years ago I stumbled upon the gem stylist Kimbrough and now will not trust my hair with anyone else!!! She is extremely professional and her skill level is well above average....from hair cuts, weaves, color, and relaxers there is nothing I have not seen her do on all types of hair. Unlike most stylist who give you a wonderful creation leaving their chair and then the next day it hardly appears you went to the salon...leaving Kimbrough's chair you will be 100% satisfied and everyday you wake up your hair and style gets even better! Kimbrough mixed with the modern style, friendly and relaxing atmosphere at Azure will keep you coming back.

Pros: Everything...very impressed.

Cons: none

Ratings_icons Yea! FINALLY found a Salon and Stylist that can Style!!

karenvo

After moving to Houston over a year and a half ago, I finally found someone who can cut and style my hair to perfection! Chris P! You did a FANTASTIC JOB! My hair looks AMAZING! I had to drive a little further to get to Azur Salon but it was worth it! Since moving to Houston, I have had about 4-5 different folks cut my hair in the Katy area to no success. I too am dedicated to Kerastase and would only go to a Kerastase salon. I highly recommend this salon as well as Chris P. He knows what he's doing and this salon is fantastic!

Pros: Great Styling

Cons: None

Ratings_icons 2000% Satisfied!!!! James Rocks!!!

NelQ

I moved to Houston from out of state, and was with my previous stylist for years. I am dedicated to Keratase and would only go to a Keratase approved salon. After reading reviews, I tried Azur. I went to their website, and read about the stylists. I choose James because his credentials were similar to my other stylist. Yes, I was nervous.

I scheduled an appointment for highlights and cut. James is very busy, and I had to wait 3 weeks to get it.

Make the appointment, pay the price, and come out feeling beautiful!

Worth the wait!!! James is like an old friend after one visit. He is so concerned that your hair is perfect. He discusses it with you, your likes and dislikes...the result....

PERFECT HAIR!

My husband even said it never looked healthier or so natural.

James...you are the best! See you next month!

Pros: Everything!! Including the glass of wine.

Cons: Nothing!!

I have only been living in Houston for a year. I went to Jo Adams at Azur Salon as a recommendation and i love her. She listens to my needs and understands what I want. I have been seeing her every Tuesday for the last 11 months and I will not go to anyone else. Jo gives me great tips and advise about my hair needs. Azur salon is extremely professional and clean. I am proud to go there and tell others about my experience.

Pros: Best hair stylist in Texas!!!

Cons: no cons

Not only does my crowning glory look amazing but my appointments are like a mini vacation. i travel worldwide and she is the only person I have ever known that can cut and color to perfection! She is Houston's Hair Genius!!!!!!!

Cons: the best colorist and hair cutter in Houston

Ratings_icons Jo = Bees Knees

graywoof

After 27 years of going to barbers or cutting my hair myself (read: I'm a dude), I was talked into going to Azur. I've got pretty thick hair that gets super curly and eventually turns into an afro after a short time...so I have a tendency to keep it very short and bland. I ended up seeing Jo and she helped me tame my hair into something that is different than I've ever worn it, business appropriate, and easy to maintain (huge plus). I read the review from evie1456 and was a bit surprised. Everytime I have seen Jo, she is super attentive and doesn't skimp in the least...in fact the whole process is far more than I deserve or would think I need, but I can't complain; it's a great time and I feel pretty awesome when I walk out the door. Not to mention I catch compliments about my hair looking sharp or smart fairly often.

Pros: Friendly/Knowledgeable/Fun

Cons: Parking is bizarre?

Ratings_icons Great experience, subpar blowout

evie1456

I had my hair cut and colored by Jo today for the first time. I loved the salon. It's very stylish but comfortable and all of the staff is very welcoming. Jo was very nice. We had a discussion about what I wanted, color preference, etc. She got out hair swatches to make sure we were on the same page before she mixed up a color She was a bit rough during the coloring process but I've got 2 brothers so it wasn't the worst hair pulling I've dealt with but I took note of it. I then did the 20 minute wait for your hair-color to set and then Diane came to get me to shampoo my hair. Diane was fabulous! What a warm person and she does a fantastic shampoo! I then had to wait another 30 min before Jo was ready to cut my hair. Again, no biggie as I'd put aside the later half of my afternoon to dedicate to this process. She sat me down and I told her that one of my main concerns was frizz. She looked at the picture I brought of the style I wanted and mentioned that it was probably going to take a little bit of curing iron to get it to look like that. I replied that I was fine with spending the extra time curling it. She then proceeded to diffuse my hair. When it was about 80% dry she stopped, did a little fluffing and called it quits. I was happy with the color but my hair looked pretty shabby. I didn't complain because we were already 30 min past when I was supposed to have finished. By the time I got home and my hair finished drying it was a cloud of frizz. I get better results when I do it myself and that doesn't cost $100. It's just a bummer because my favorite part of getting my haircut is those 2 days of flawless hair that only a professional can achieve. While I do think I will return to the salon, I doubt I will go back to Jo.

Pros: Staff, ambiance

Cons: Poor quality blowout

Finally had time to endulge in a professional haircut for the first time in a year, but I have just moved from Dallas so I didn't know where to go. Went here to City Search and with 5 stars I knew I couldn't go wrong with Azur Salon.
My appointment was made by a very sweet receptionist (Tiffany) and I was placed with Chris.
And I was pleasantly surprised!! Even though Chris is a Junior stylist he was AMAZING! My hair has never looked so beautiful, flowing, shiny, AWESOME!!!
I recommend both this salon and Chris to any woman wanting to feel incredible!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRIS!!!!

I used to have long hair, but after the birth of my daughter, it started to fall out so I decided to go for a short hairstyle. I have very thin and straight hair, but yet Jo managed to get me a great coupe, volume included. Thanks a lot Jo!

Pros: Great haircuts, relaxed atmosphere

Cons: a bit pricey

Ratings_icons Horrible Customer Service

HoustonFun3

I was at the salon last week and had one of the worst customer service experiences in my life. I just finished my appointment with my stylist, walked up to the counter and the receptionist with the short black hair was talking on her cell phone! I had to wave her down just to make sure she added the correct tip amount. The salon is usually always very friendly but that day I felt like I was at one of those "snob" salons. Besides that one experience, the salon is wonderful, the sytlist are great, and the hot tea is mmmm-good!

Pros: Great Stylists

Cons: The receptionist was rude

Ratings_icons So sad to be leaving Azur behind!

tovam

I have been going to Greg for 4 years now and have loved my hair for 4 years! I have gone through different hairstyles but they have all been executed beautifully! And as Greg knows, I am a very fussy customer with thick, difficult hair. I love Azur salon...the staff are all wonderful, there are always fresh flowers around and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Azur has been introducing so many new ideas that it seems like it's becoming a do-it-all salon. Which is great because they only use the finest products and techniques.
I am moving out of state and I'll definitely miss these guys. Thank you Greg!! And Jim, it's been awesome hanging out 'next door' to you! And thank you James for making my husband look so handsome! And thank you to ALL the staff who are so nice and friendly!

I get my highlights from Joel. He knows how to give me highlights and lowlights with a beautiful shine. A friend recommened me to Azur when I complimented her hair she sent me to Joel and I am a happy girl. I look forward to getting my hair done at Azur every 6-8 weeks. The staff is fantastic and they have a little coffee and tea bar set up with a variety of herbal teas. etc
It is alway a treat to visit and I feel beautiful when I walk out knowing all the compliments I am going to receive. Love Azur !!

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

I would recommend Daniel to anyone who likes a little extra attention and service!

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

Ratings_icons Brazilian keratin treatment

brina6

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

Ratings_icons Breanne is great!

dahuron

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

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

I had a wonderful experience at Azur. Receptionist recommended Nadine for my color change. Totally happy with it. She listened to what I had in mind for color and then made some great suggestions. My hair looks healthy, shiny, and the color is beautiful. The atmosphere of the salon was friendly and I felt relaxed. I wil definately go back to Nadine for my color.

Pros: colorist, receptionist, friendly atmosphere

Ratings_icons great cut and color from breanne

blondie182

from the moment i walked into azur it was very professional and energetic. the receptionist offered me tea, water and wine while i waited for my stylist.
I cant speak for the work of the other stylists, but my experience at azur (with breanne) has been nothing but positive! she does a great job and is FAST ( i hate sitting at he salon for 3+ hours for a cut and color) and has very reasonable prices. she was very receptive to what i wanted, and offered her own ideas in a very professional manner. she listened to what i had to say and made sure she knew exactly what i wanted.
then it was time for the shampoo, which was a great neck and scalp massage,which is a must in a salon!
The end result was the best ive experienced! it looked great got tons of compliments. i will be returning to breanne shes very personable, warm, and friendly and she will always improve your day!

Pros: true professionals who know what there doing

Cons: parking

Ratings_icons Consistency

luvinmyhair

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

Ratings_icons how disappointing. . .

synergy913

after reading the rave reviews of this place, I finally booked an appointment for a haircut. At $45 for a men's cut, I was expecting a lot from the stylist.

I was the first booking of the day, and the stylist was 10 minutes late to the appointment. Since he was behind on time, the cut, shampoo/conditioning, and styling were all rushed through in 20 minutes. As far as the "cutting" went, the stylist ran a few quick passes of the razor through my hair and called it a day. I was shocked, my hair looked like it was never even cut!

When i gave a lukewarm response to the haircut, he made no attempts to try to fix anything or figure out what went wrong with the styling (which was namely, there was no styling). After tip, the total came out to $53 dollars. . . considering how much time he spent with me, this guy makes over $200/hour.

I'm booking an appointing as we speak with my old stylist, who is more expensive but now seems so worth it.

Pros: great decor, nice clean facilities

Cons: price, quality of cut, rushed service

Ratings_icons James Phillips is awesome!

From ultra short to ultra long, I have trusted James with my hair styles for 10 years. He has not disappointed me once! He is very honest in telling me what styles go well with my round face. I got married and had to leave the Houston area for The Woodlands, and I drive all the way from The Woodlands to have James cut and style my hair. (In case you're wondering, I do not hang out with James. But I know I would have a fabulous time if I did!) Kudos to the ladies that greet me and take my appointments. They are always very friendly.

I have been in Houston for a little over 2 and a 1/2 years coming from living in 12 other cities in 5 different states. I have had many problems with finding the BEST Salon to put my trust in. Well, I have found it in Azur Salon. From the first time that I went there... I have never even thought of going anywhere else. I feel so good about myself every time I leave the Salon. My hair is not so difficult to manage, and I get many compliments on how Tony cut's my hair. I feel so grateful to get tips about how my hair should be and how I should style it. Some other places will just cut your hair and take your money, But Tony's attitude will make you feel like your his best client and make you want to come back !!!! I will definitely be back !!!!!

Azur Salon is fabulous! They really go above and beyond to make your time there very worth while.

James has been my stylist for almost a year now and he is wonderful! He listens to what you want plus gives you feed back to create a style that is perfect for you. If you are looking for a new salon go to Azur and ask for James!

connorsmom1

I have been getting my hair cut, highlighted and styled by James for years. Not only is he a fabulous stylist, but he is also a great friend. Getting to see him is better than therapy! I saw him a couple weeks ago, asking his advise on bangs vs. no bangs. We landed on something in the middle, and I absolutely love it! I would never get my hair cut or colored by anyone else.

Pros: Fabulous salon, great staff

Cons: You have to park down the street. No big deal though.

Ratings_icons Salon is nice-looking, competent stylists... bad customer service!

safiyas

I was a faithful returning customer until I ran into a problem with their customer service. They sent me a 25% off on any tuesday-thursday in Feb (certain restrictions applied)..... Sounds like a good deal, right?? I literally, two days before had booked an appointment online with one of the stylist I had never been to before... and my appointment met the criteria for the discounted offer.

When I called to see if I would be eligible for the discount, I was told it was only for people who hadn't already booked an appointment! When I offered to re-schedule on a different day or with a different stylist, I was told no! I just felt it was unfair I was being penalized for booking a few days in advance.

If you want my advice, the salon is very nice-looking, the prices are definitely on the high-end; however the customer service does not match. And in my three previous experiences, the quality of work is about average for a decent salon; but extraordinary by no means. I was a returning customer because I like to pamper myself with these kinds of things... but if I wanted to finagle with the receptionist over a pretty straight-forward sales offer; I would be going the TGF hairdressers. No thanks!

OHH!!! And I forgot... they snicker at customers they deem as "difficult" or hard to deal with BEHIND their backs! I have witnessed this on more than one occasion... I felt that was extremely unprofessional on so many different levels, and should be a little more transparent to other customers!

Ratings_icons Not worth it!!!

blondie1000

I went to Joel for a partial highlight, and that is exactly what I got. Part of my hair highlighted. He didn't even put the color close to my scalp. When i left, it already looked like I had roots. Worst highlight I have ever had. Service was way too expensive for what I got. Sorry for the bad review, but I wanna warn people so they don't waste their money.

Front desk staff was nice though.

Pros: Front desk girl was nice

Cons: Worst highlight I have ever had

amstanley

I was very nervous going in to Azur Salon because I had been going to the same stylist for years and I was scared to trust anyone else with my hair.

However, I am grateful that I took the risk because the haircut that Breanne gave me looks fantastic. I couldn't be happier. I loved the salon. It was comfortable and relaxing, nicely decorated, and I enjoyed having a glass of wine while Breanne worked her magic.

I did bring a picture for inspiration for my style, and I think Breanne did a great job of recreating the cut while making adjustments for my face shape and hair texture. When she was worried that my hair was too thin to look right with the bangs in the picture, she actually consulted with another stylist on the best way to make it work. I am very appreciative that she took the time to consider how my hair would look in the end and I think it turned out fabulous.

Pros: Refreshments provided upon arrival, friendly staff, great website, make appointments online, skilled stylists

Cons: parking

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

Anisoara25

It was a friday afternoon and I had just left my mimimester speach class. Not only did I feel bad about having to write a paper over christmas break; I also had terrible hair that had not been touched for awhile and was expecting family and friends that weekend. To add to my anxiety I had a big speech that I had to give in front of 20 students that following weekend! I needed a self esteem booster with stress relief! Luckly I found Liz!! Not only did she listen to how I wanted my hair cut but she understood. You see I have what you call a flat head in the back; not the round pretty shaped head that looks normal and round any way you wear the hair. Now, I dont know what God was thinking when he created my head because ponytails look terrible on me and when I do wear my hair down I look like somebody just sat on my head and flattened it out. lol on a serious note, Liz took care of that! Thank God for hair dressers! She gave me a cute bob shaped hair cut that changed the form and shape of my head forever! I love it! I do have to say that I was scared of short hair, but she convinced me that my long hair did have bad split ends. In her Salon lingo she said that because of the way my head was shaped a bob would bring curviture, texture and style. As she was cutting my hair she made realize that my stage fright and speech anxiety had a lot to do with the way I percieved my outward appearience to be. She was verry entertaining, easygoing and funny, she has this cute outragious laugh that will brighten anybody's spirits:) I just have to say she will be my hair dresser for a long time even if it means I have to drive or fly accross state lines to get to her, she is well worth the time and money! I left the Salon feeling like a new person, not only did she cut my hair she also cut away my negative self-perception of my outward appearance. I strongly recomend Liz, just tell her what you want and she will not only listen but give some expierenced advice:)

Pros: Good sevice

samiam22

I'm the type of gal that finds a great stylist and sticks with them for a few years, only changing salons if I want to shake things up a little bit.

I called Azur because I saw it in my neighborhood. I called AHEAD to request a stylist that maybe specialized in highlighting blonds and someone who could suggest a fresh new hair cut. I told the receptionist how long my hair was and what sort of length I was shooting for. I know how busy salons can be and I didn't want to waste anyone's time...plus I wanted my stylist to be prepared to give me a couple of great ideas.

Well, when I arrived, my stylist had no idea what I wanted or why I was there. When I asked for ideas he had no clear way of explaining his thoughts nor did he have any pictures to show. Finally he said that "maybe I wasn't ready for a new style since I seemed unsure? OF COURSE I WAS UNSURE...that's why I asked for help...FROM A STYLIST.

I'd never been to this salon, let alone this stylist, I had no indication of what sort of work he did and he had nothing to show me...no magazines, no salon photos, nothing.

On top of all that hassle, I was very clear about the color I wanted. BUT the color he gave me was a dull yellow and there was a line of demarcation between my old blond and the new color. I looked like I had a crease in my hair from the color difference. Could it get much worse?

With any salon, you'll like your hair sometimes more than others, but this whole experience was pretty lousy. I walked out of there with a bad trim and a blotchy color... I basically paid $200 to tell you this?Try someplace else!

Pros: good looking salon

Cons: bad looking hair

Ratings_icons Overpriced haircut with Liz/poor customer services

I recently had my first appointment at Azur. I did all my homework online; I scrutinized their website and I read all of the posted reviews. Based on these, I concluded that my appointment will be with Liz or Jim. Liz was available for the date I wanted, so I picked her.
She charged 85$ for some fine layering. I called back the next day to discuss with them that I was overpriced, the receptionist explained to me that all of Liz?s cuts are 85$ -regardless of how much she cuts- because she is experienced (I was not aware of this system, but it was my mistake, I should have asked). I have gotten the same cut for 40$ before, I guess with the environment of the salon I would have been fine paying up to 65$, but not more; the cut was not too special. I made the mistake of not asking for the price in advance; to all the other new clients, I would recommend that you consult with your hair stylist in advance. What you read on their website, a haircut of 45$ is only a haircut given by an ?inexperienced, just starting on the floor stylist? as it was later explained to me by the receptionist. The 45+$ comes with experience.
Another thing that puzzled me was that Liz whispered to the receptionist the price for the ?express check out?. If all of Liz?s cuts are 85$, as the receptionist said, shouldn?t the receptionist know that. When I confronted the receptionist about my wonder, she said ?we are humans too; we don?t remember all of our 10+ stylists prices?. Okay. The receptionist however was kind to ask me if I wish to return and fix my hair if I was unhappy, but it seemed that I was unhappy with the price.
In conclusion, this is not meant to be a harsh review, however if you are like me and rely on the internet, I want you to know the facts listed above. Also, Liz?s hair cut turned out fine but overpriced. However, if you are willing to spend 90$ for your hair cut I would recommend Jim or Greg , they are experience plus you might get engaged in some funny conversations.

Pros: Pretty Salon, Some Nice Staff

Cons: Overpriced, poor Customer Service, Parking

Ratings_icons NOT worth the money, don't believe the amazing reviews

It has now been one month since I dyed my hair darker at azur salon. The color has already faded and is lighter than before I went there to dye it and I had even been using a salon brand shampoo specialized for reducing fade. Also, my hair is in the worst condition it has ever been in and I used to be a competitive swimmer and have had severe chlorine damage in the past, but nothing will ever compare to the damage that the dye from azur did to my hair. It is soo dry and brittle, I am worried that I will have to cut a lot of it off. My old hairdresser from home told me that the salon might use peroxides in their dye which can severly dry out the hair shaft. If you have dry hair, please be weary about the dye from this salon. My cut was not very good either. Overall, azur is not worth the money.

Pros: None

Cons: Too expensive

After receiving a bad cut from Tony the first visit to the salon, I read rave reviews about Liz. Trusting the reviews, I made an appt. online.

Liz listened (she validated the uneven hair), & didn't cut the top, the sides started out being even and I liked what she had done (started with razor). During the styling process, she grabs the scissors & started chopping on left side. Once she was done, I ran my hands through my hair, it was apparent that left side was shorter then the right. I pointed this out to her & she messed with it and said no. I went home, styled it myself. It was sooo uneven the right side stuck out noticeably further. With hair as short as my ear and in layers.

I call the salon asking for my money back. Elizabeth was courteous and empathetic with me on the phone, she said the owner wanted me to come in and see what could be done. Which really at this point, the point of growing my hair out has be eliminated. This is the shortest I have had it in 6 years.

My experience with the owner truly left me baffled and shocked. I explained the above. All he wanted to do is tell me how the salon had 400 new clients last month and how good his stylist are, how booked they are and that my bad hair cuts were really a communication problem. He looked at my hair, started chopping away at the longest side (right) to get it even with the left. When he started cutting on the left side (this was the side that was too short to begin with) I started tearing up & crying. He ignored this. He did not even try to style my hair to show me other ways to possibly like the chopped off do. Didn't really apologize. I've never been treated with such disregard. For having paid over $100 for a cut that I am misreable with. Now, I am the right side shorter than the left. it will take 6 months to grow out just to collar length if I'm lucky. At this point, to call them back to fix it again would mean they would cut it even shorter. I have no hair left to cut.

Pros: Good location

Cons: Bad parking, underskilled stylist, overly priced, poor customer service

Ratings_icons great experience!

Two words... Jim Bagley! Really though, he was great!!

Looked on Citysearch for a salon while in town for a couple of months, found Azur and am so glad I did! My whole experience at Azur was great; from the ease of making appointments online, to the friendly staff and great products. I'm just bummed that this great salon so far away from my home in San Diego!! I highly recommend Azur to anyone looking for a new salon with an attentive staff!!!

Ratings_icons Liz is the BEST!

Just got home from my appointment with Liz - partial highlight and cut - and could not be happier! Being a blonde, it's hard to find someone that understands how to do blondes correctly - tone, lowlights,etc. - Liz completely nailed it! The highlights are incredible - even my husband commented - now that's AMAZING! She also took the time to explain the proper care required to keep my hair healthy after all the processing - something I thought I knew, but realized I really didn't.

I already have my next appointment scheduled because I know that she is only going to get busier as word gets out about her.

Thanks Liz!

Ratings_icons Do Not Park in the Garage

Warning: Do NOT use the parking garage if you have a SUV. It is for small cars only and my SUV got stuck on the ramp and now have thousands of dollars worth of damage because of it. The salon tells people over the phone that they should not park there, but their web site states otherwise. Unfortunately I made my appointment online and suffered the consequences.

Hair colorists don't appear to be specialists at all and I wound up wasting $95.

The front desk staff are lovely and they do offer beverages - including wine - but the hairdressers aren't that great.

Pros: Fabulous Front Desk Staff

Cons: Colorists don't know what they are doing, the parking garage is not for SUVs.

Ratings_icons Great experience!

I got a haircut from Brianne (sp?) today and the experience was GREAT! I got the perfect haircut at a great price with great conversation. It really was an enjoyable experience from the moment I walked into the door and was offered a refreshment by the receptionist to the smile I had on the drive home.

Pros: staff, environment, price, overall result

Cons: none

Ratings_icons I put my trust in a hair stylist named Liz and I am thrilled with the new me!

I had weight loss surgery and lost a great deal of weight but a side effect was loosing and thinning hair as well. I am a career professional and I admit a bit vain as well ...so I must look good. I searched the internet for the top salons/hairstylists in Houston and located Azure I read previous reviews and then booked an appointment. The receptionist staff was very professional and kind I explained my wishes and she recommended Liz , the day of my appointment I thought I will either be thrilled or crying but I stepped out in faith and took a chance. Liz listened to me but made some alternate suggestions and I felt confident that she knew what she was doing and I really liked her demeanor so, I trusted her and OH MY GOD! She created a whole new look for me and I am just thrilled. I have gotten numerous compliments I am thankful to have met Liz and look forward to seeing her for my next appointment. The salon is beautiful, and the staff invieting but more importantly you will enjoy your experience and allow me to suggest making an appointment with Liz and enjoy the new you!

Pros: Knowledgable stylists who care!

Cons: Parking
