Grapevine Salons

This is for JC Ramos Styling here at Grapevine. Grapevine is a suite salon meaning all of the suites are leased by independent stylists and cosmetologists.
This review is only for JC Ramos who is a hair magician. He managed to transform my haggard, tired old granny hair into a masterpiece. I literally cannot believe this is truly my hair. He made me lose 10 years in 2 hours. Trust his vision. He knows what he’s doing.

Anila with Austin Threading at Grapevine Studios #247 is awesome. I moved from Houston a year ago and have been searching for an eyebrow threading place. I have found it! Her attention to detail and gentleness is superior to other places I’ve been to. I’ve been threading my eyebrows for over ten years and with Anila it was by far the most pleasurable. I paid a few dollars more than I’m used to but in Houston there are eyebrow threading salons everywhere. I found it to be fair pricing.

Wow. I mean really – wow Perry Sanders! I’m love my new hair do! In the 12 hours since my partial highlights and haircut, I’ve gotten 59 «likes» on my Facebook posting of my new look. Finally it looks just the way I was imagining and describing to hair stylists for 2 years. Terry is professional, friendly, efficient and does an AMAZING job. I cannot speak highly enough… and this is from someone who generally says, «it’s just hair.» Great guy and great work.

My wife had some eyebrow work done by the same person, Liz, that she has seen for years and I had a bit of a trim of my hair and beard by Liz.
This is a very convenient place to come, but parking can been a problem during busy times.
These are low key, laid back individual salons. Each leases their own room and it keeps it quite nice.

This review is for Candy of Elegant Nails by Candy. Candy is quick, clean and a pro when it comes to doing OPI Gel manicures (that’s what I came to her for). She has a slew of polish choices and is always getting new polishes in as they’re released. I like her cute little office in the salon. I also followed her over to the new location (they moved quite a while ago).
I miss Candy. She was right around the corner from where I lived. Parking was easy, getting into/​out of the shopping center was easy. I could be in and out in less than 30 minutes (sometimes). She’s FAST!
I also love that she uses Schedulicity for booking appointments. Makes finding a good appointment time even a few weeks away really easy. She’s great!

I saw Kristy Freeman at Grapevine and she is awesome! I visited her for the first time, and wanted a cut and color. We took off at least 4 inches and went to a dark rich color. I’ve been having the hardest time getting the cut and color I want, but Kristy gave me exactly what I was looking for. I love it.

So I see Britney as my stylist (don’t know her rm number) and I have had nothing but good experiences so far. Now the building is deceiving from the outside, but you walk in and it’s very pretty inside. Shiny chandeliers and warmer interior. Every «business» has their own room. It can b confusing because all rooms are down a series of hallways. Think rat maze. But after the first time you know where your going.
Now back to Britney, she has done my hair, my daughters hair and my husbands. You can schedule with her on style seat and generally get in fairly quickly. Also her prices are online, so there arnt any surprises.
She is doing a «check in here and save 5.00 bucks on your service» promotion right now. If you have questions she is on my Unilocal friends list. Message her!

The ambiance was great and I love the fact there are so many hairdressers to choose from! Loved my hair when leaving AND after a few days. Beautiful salon. I went to JC Ramos. He’s super nice and cute, funny and fun to have doing your hair! He was really amazing overall!

Garyn Gibbs is awesome I’ve known Garyn for a few years now she’s always done my nails I get a shellac manicure and pedicure every other week with her. She is always a joy to see very upbeat personality and the ability to make you feel as though you are talking to an old friend. She does an amazing job on my nails to the point that I even convinced my husband to get a manicure with her every other week with me which he also looks forward to. Recently my stylist was unable to do my hair due to the fact that she was on maternity leave she recommended Garyn to do my hair as well as my husband he is extremely picky does not like the use of clipper and demands his hair be done with scissors only very precisely I am also very particular about my color as well as my haircut. But she managed to do an excellent job on him and a wonderful job on me. Finding a good stylist is important you have to trust the person with scissors coming at your head and I completely trust her. Sadly to say my original stylist is going to take some time off for a while but on the bright side Garyn is a true gem and both myself and my husband are extremely lucky to have found her. She also has a very flexible schedule we have to come in late due to my husband’s work and sometimes on a Saturday and she’s always been able to accommodate us as long as we could work with her. I look forward to our visits and can’t wait to see her again soon. So if you were looking for an amazing stylist that does it all give Garyn a call she is really one in 1 million. Garyn you rock baby!!!

I saw Britney B at Salon B for the first time not too long ago & it was such a pleasant experience! I have been on a pursuit to find a stylist I like, affordable, easy to book & does a great job. Those are not easy to find! Thank goodness after getting a haircut & highlights I left feeling youthful & hip! Such a nice breath of fresh air to *finally find a stylist I get to revisit! Yeah me! The salon is kind of hard to find in the maze of buildings & parking is a biotch, but way worth it!

Whatever you do dont go to garyn Gibbs. Shes never on time, shes rude, and frankly shes not very good at cutting hair. I paid well over 200 $ wish i would have gone to supercuts.

This is an update from my experience with Karen Rohlfs on 9÷26÷14. I believe she must have seen or heard about my review, so she wrote me this:
«Since I require of myself complete satisfaction from my clients, I have issued you a full refund.»
I didn’t think that was necessary, but I appreciated the notion and integrity. In the end, my advice with her, and will all people providing a service, is to ask explicitly about the prices, especially with unexpected add-​ons. In the end, keep the provider accountable. It’s your money and you have the right to know the break-​down.

I went to see Melissa Lopez, Suite 236, she did a fantastic job on my hair, it was my first time seeing her and she matched up my color perfectly even though she had not done the base color or highlights originally. It’s one of the best color jobs I’ve had. I am looking forward to my next appointment. Her suite was clean and inviting and not too crowded or busy. I highly recommend her!

This review is for MECHE ORGANIC SALON (Kim Whitted), one of the independent salon businesses in Grapevine.
Thanks for fun, wonderful hair, Kim… and a really enjoyable couple hours during the transformation!
Kim’s Meche Organic Salon is a neat little place. In the larger Grapevine salon, Meche has its own serene, big-​windowed room. Add nice music, scented towels, tons of good reading for your under-​the-​dryer time, and Kim, and that’s a nice environment!
I wanted to color my hair (for the first time in years), and have a cut with a lot more «fun» in it — take off a few inches, add swoopy side bangs, more vavoom etc. I told Kim I was interested in a darker, warmer, more vibrant color. She showed me some great options, weighed in on how each would look with my eye and skin color, and then encouraged me to choose (and stick with) the color we were both initially drawn to. Sometimes you need your stylist to weigh in like that.
The color and the cut turned out gorgeous! Since my hair is pretty fine, she used a razor instead of scissors, which added tons of texture and movement.
The organic products (shampoo & conditioner, dye) are wonderful. No harsh smells, no tingly scalp, etc. Just rich color and beautiful shine.
Also, I really enjoyed the time spent talking with Kim. We talked about Seattle, Austin, food, New Orleans, runaway home renovation, behavior problem dogs we adore, quirky family, etc. (I know of another Austin stylist who gives great cuts, but there is such a deep chasm between our interests I’d go in prepared for an hour of seriously awkward small talk. Boo.) Time with Kim flew by… and at the end, voila: beautiful hair, nice new stylist in my life.
I give Kim /​Meche my highest recommendation.

This past weekend I was in my roommate’s incredibly beautiful and fun wedding. All of us bridesmaids showed up to the venue around 1pm to start getting our hair and makeup done. BRANDY VEYSEY along with two others did all of our hair. They were there earlier than we were, they were completely set up, and ready to rock-​n-​roll when we got there.
Naturally the weather was tormenting every woman’s hair, especially those of us who have naturally curly hair that is long. To top it off, most all of us had planned to wear our hair down, so we had to switch up plans last minute realizing that the humidity was simply not going to disapate. :(Considering the fact that hair down never takes as long as an updo, I am seriously impressed with the fact they stayed on schedule AND we all came out looking amazing.
I was one of the first girls to talk with Robin (one of the girls helping Brandy do hair). I told her how I wanted to wear my hair down because I was concerned about what an updo looks like on me considering I have a little extra weight on me and I was wearing a strapless dress. (Granted I worked out just as hard as any bride to look good in a wedding that wasn’t mine, I still felt a little insecure about a strapless dress.) She could tell that I had anxiety about not being able to wear my hair down, again — humidity is the enemy of every curly haired woman in the world. I didn’t want to be a fro ball walking down the aisle or in pictures.
Robin spoke with Brandy and they were so kind. She offered up some suggestions and Robin told me to look up some ideas we discussed while I was getting my makeup started and be ready to get after it when the first part of makeup was over with.
Before I sat down I showed them what I was thinking and then Robin went to town! She got me glossed, smothed, schelacked, and perfectly coifed to pass me along to Brandy. Brandy then finished off the style, which had a very cool take on one of thepictures I found. I have to say, I have never looked better in my life than I did that night. ¹⁄₃ of that was my beautiful hairdo (the other was ¹⁄₃ makeup and ¹⁄₃ great dress).
Without Robin and Brandy calming me down and coming up with something great I don’t know if I would have felt near as confident as I did that evening. Heck, I even had the courage to be flirtatious and not wear a sweater on the dance floor! Heeeey! All of the Bridesmaids, the bride, the floower girls, and Moms looked incredible. And since most of us had planned to wear our hair down and switched to updos based on the icky weather they should have been really behind schedule. They weren’t. They were on top of it! Seriously, I have no idea how they pulled it all off.
Truly, ladies, go see Brady and let her give an awesome boost to your ego because she does fabulous work. She clearly has loads of experience — she was so fast and it turned out so wonderfully. Let her make you feel amazing, too!

Anila was amazing! It was my first threading experience, and I was so impressed with the results. She did an amazing job cleaning up my messy eyebrows and shaping them beautifully! I highly recommend her!

I went to to see Kim Whitted at Meche Organic Salon (inside Grapevine) after seeing she had a Groupon available. I’m a very poor college student so I try to find the deals when I can, but I also have been looking for a regular person to do my hair for a while now. I’m so sick of bouncing around from salon to salon and being unhappy with the end result. I figured the Groupon was a good way to test the waters with someone new. Well, I think I finally found someone that I can stick with!
Kim did an awesome job… I went in with very long and VERY damaged hair and she took off the perfect amount to keep my length (I hate it when hair dressers take it too short, it happens almost every time). She also gave me some more layers. My hair feels and looks SO MUCH healthier now. Additionally, I got an all-​over color… I went from a lighter brown to a darker brown and asked for a very, very slight reddish tint. Kim got the color perfectly (also a rarity).
I also love the organic products she uses… my hair felt magically soft after leaving her salon, AND it didn’t smell like hair dye! What a plus! :)
I will definitely be going back to see her again! THANK YOU KIM!

I highly recommend Kim Whitted. I am super picky about my hair and I have had such a hard time finding someone who consistently cuts my hair the way I want. I hate to admit it but I have been to somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 or 5 salons in the past couple years trying to find someone I like. Every time Kim cuts my hair it’s exactly the way I want it and I love it! What a relief to find someone with a ton of experience who does an awesome job and doesn’t charge and arm and a leg! If you are an Aveda fan like I was, Kim has a line of organic products that have Keratin protein that are much less expensive than Aveda and I like this line even more. My hair is long, blonde and processed so it gets a workout. But it feels really healthy and strong right now. Go see Kim! Highly recommend.

Owners are dis-​honest!!!
When you start they welcome you with open arms and offer bonuses for referring other stylist. Syed calls you on your personnel time asking questions to get himself more people. BUT if you have an issue or need something fixed his manager makes promises and never follows thru or says its an owner issue. In the end I was promised my deposit back and 3 months later received a text decline. Unprofessional, dishonest, and dirty!!!

My girl, Katie Wensowitch, has moved to the south location which makes me super happy! She keeps my locks blonde and looking good. Getting highlights, especially for me is not a quick process, so having someone super fun to chat with who also has all the best magazines makes the time fly by.
Grapevine Salons is a collection of independent salons run by each hairstylist/​massusse/​nail technician/​etc. So you can find all kinds of ways to pamper yourself in one location. I do like the south location better because the individual salons feel more private and a bit quieter, so you can gossip all you want without worrying who is in the room next to you ;)
