Ciao Salon

I wouldn’t recommend this salon. Amanda did my highlights and there was a bunch of bleed throughs. Ciao cut my hair and ruined my layers. I had to spend more money at a different salon to fix their mistakes. To give you a picture, I had long hair to the middle of my back and now I have a short bob. The salon has a lot of positive reviews which is why I went. I now regret that decision.

I got the greatest haircut from Chau (the owner) at Ciao Salon. At $ 65 for a short bob, her prices are very fair, considering you’re getting a cut from the salon owner.
However, expect a different style of service with these fair prices. It’s a small, very much owner-​operated business. Situated in a cute little bungalow in Montrose, to keep prices relatively low compared to the big salons without sacrificing skilled stylists, there are minor compromises you’ll have to accept. No receptionist = Chau answering her phone during your session and possibly stepping away for a few minutes. No beverages offered = BYOB or water. None of these compromises bothered me, but I can see how it might bother others. The salon atmosphere overall is very laid back, but staffed with very skilled stylists. Imagine what it would be like to go over to your friend’s house who happens to cut hair, but this time you’re not washing your hair in the kitchen sink.

Amazing service. Listened to what I wanted. Lindsey was my hairdresser and she is nice and cool.

Lindsey did an amazing job on my hair. I got it colored from brown to red and it came out so well. With in a week of the color settling I looked completly natural! Everyone is very nice and welcoming.

I came here to see Lindsey. I’ve always heard really great things about this salon and have lots of friends that frequent it. The environment is so welcoming. The last hair cut I had gotten was at another salon and was awful. Lindsey wads tasked with fixing someone else’s mistakes. My hair is really thick and difficult to manage. Lindsey is amazing she knew exactly what to do to give me the style that I wanted. I left with hair that looked like a million dollars. I can’t wait to go back!!! Xx

First off today 08/​04/​2015 was my first time here to get my hair done, I’ve heard that they had the magic hands here so I just had to give it a shot. Amanda did my hair, and she did a great job, I told her no matter what, «NO GOLD!» And she gave me no gold! I’m seriously in love with my hair, it’s not your typical basic blonde either, she was able to achieve the ash blonde with just bleach and toning without dying my whole head, it was just majority highlights. Definitely recommend coming here!

Chau is the one that cuts my hair. She is always attentive to me and always concern if she is running late. This one time she kept apologizing because she was running 5 minutes behind and she always has this sense of urgency. Coming here I feel like they take my time into consideration. My time is valuable in their eyes. This makes me feel like a valued customer. With that said, as soon as I walk in I am instantly greeted. Then in a few minutes they wash my hair and I’m off in the chair getting my hair cut. Chau makes sure to ask all kinds of question to make sure she is giving me what I want. She has always made sure to give me advice on lengths and styles. Overall I couldn’t be happier with this place. I always feel relaxed when I am here and also welcomed. If you want to get a haircut worth the value, then I suggest you come here to get great customer haircuts and excellent customer service.

Chau does amazing cuts and styles! I have thick, unruly middle eastern hair and she whips it into shape better than any stylist I’ve been to before. I now live in NYC — which is known for great stylists — but I always try to hold out for a cut when I am back in Houston. She’s that good!
Also noteworthy: Reasonable prices, friendly service, beverages and snacks generously shared with clients, great music, lots of magazines and cozy couch while waiting for your appointment:)

I’ve been. going to Caio for 10 years. She had excellent style and skills that are impeccable. Amanda is a color genius and THE BEST COLORIST I have been to. I’ve been coloring my hair since Sun In was invented. I’m really lucky and Amanda never lets me down. I recommend everyone give this salon a try. You won’t be happy with anyone else!

I loved my cut and color!
I had Amanda and Chau! Seriously your hair will look amazing after this. She really did what I wanted with the color. I thought the highlights were too light at first and then she toned them down for me! hair goddesses!

I absolutely LOVE this place ! It’s so cool and the staff are cooler. Talented, down to earth, inviting, and professional grade. I will be back for more blonde !!!

Lindsey did such a great job on my balayage! Finally a colorist a can come back to with confidence! Thank you Ciao!

Once again I’m back to get my hair done by the amazing and wonderful Lindsey Jade! I haven’t been back for a while and I still get compliments on my hair after however long it’s been. Now I’m back for more! I love the environment and atmosphere no everyone of the stylists are friendly, funny, and super nice! I’m so happy with my hair every time and I will continue to come to Ciao Salon for Lindsey!

Stacy has literally saved my hair. He is a master of color and cut, and I won’t trust my tresses with ANYONE else!

Lindsey gave me one of the best cuts and blow outs I’ve ever had! She was extremely kind and attentive and I’ll definitely go back to her. My only complaint about the salon was that it lacked that relaxing salon atmosphere. They don’t offer drinks, no noticeable music, etc., and the towel used to dry my hair smelled pretty musty. Her cut was worth going back despite those small problems.

Stacy is the master of cut, color and everything else! He can make u look like the star you are. He has done my cut and color for over 20 years. I fly back to Houston just for his work. Today I received the olaplex treatment on my bleached hair and wow! It’s like I grew a whole new head of hair! Book him fast cause he fills up. I trust no one else.

Stacy at Ciao Salon is the best! He’s done my color and cut for over 15 years. I have extremely curly hair and he has been the ONLY stylist that’s ever been able to give me a flattering. He’s a hair Genius!

People ALWAYS ask who cuts my hair — that’s pretty much the best recommendation I can give. When Stacy cuts, it gets noticed. Stacy at Ciao Salon is ridiculously good. He does my color and my cut and I always leave feeling fantastic. Great atmosphere, super fun, never a dull moment. Love love love him!
There’s a reason why #stacyismyhairo.

The building itself is a little hard to spot but parking is not a problem.
I was referred to one of the stylists, Lindsey, from a friend and from the start with setting up the appointment and everything, she was really friendly and accommodating. The environment is very clean and laid back. The staff are also very funny, personable, and cool :)
As far as my hair, it turned out better than I imagined and Lindsey did everything that asked her to do very beautifully! I loved how my hair turned out :)

Um wow. So I should’ve reviewed before. I have been here a handful of times and Lindsey is PHENOMENAL. Why didn’t I discover this place before. The whole crew is very welcoming and accommodating. They all know how to make the whole experience promising. I may just hire Lindsey as my personal hair stylist. She does weddings too and you better bet she will be doing my hair and all of my bridal party the day of my wedding. This girl is talented.
