David Michael Salon

Today I got my hair cut via a walk in with Nenette. I was in the area shopping and decided I was long overdo for a trim. I hadn’t had my hair cut professionally in about two years because I stopped doing anything to my hair once I stopped getting highlights. Prior to my haircut, I had about six to seven inches of just pure, dry misery from my former highlights. I had dyed over them with brunette and just let them be (my prof pic is old), but my hair was a daily battle brushing because of all the damage.
Nenette totally took care of me and we both decided to go to shoulder length hair for me. She did an AMAZING JOB and my hair hasn’t looked this healthy in years. She reshaped my lifeless and damaged hair into something that I can easily maintain daily. I’m planning on coming back for a few lowlights and also a blow out for an event in December. Yahoo! (

Nenette is THE best colorist. She works magic like no other. Retouch, HiLites, LoLites, Color Correction People compliment my blonde all the time and I send her many referrals who are now her clients. — If you’re looking to add some length or volume, Nenette does amazing extension service as well. My go to girl!

Amy is my new hero! I have been through so many horror story trips to salons I could start a blog (or Unilocal!About it) and I came to Amy after meeting her at an event they held at the salon for their hair extensions. I decided after spending 5 hours at another salon that was not able to give me the color I wanted, to give Amy a try and boy am I glad I did. My hair is perfect! Exactly what I wanted the first visit. The color is vibrant and blended so well, I can’t stop looking at it in the mirror. Thank you Amy, I’m sending all my friends to you! Also, the salon is small but beautiful and with easy parking. I like it so much more compared to a huge salon with tons of clients everywhere. You get way more personal attention here.

I started coming here for my extensions after my mom recommend Amy. I’ve now been going to see her every 6 – 9 weeks for about a year to get my extensions done (double wefts and tapes-​ins.) Recently, I decided to go blonde and was a little nervous about it but it looks FANTASTIC! I get compliments after every visit. Amy is also very personable and I enjoy my time at the salon. Sometimes when I go in to see her she does these fun awesome braids at the end which I love! She’s definitely the best stylist I’ve ever had and I will even be driving in from Austin to see her when I return to school in the fall!

My stylist was Nenette and she did a great job! She took my hair from a bright blonde to a warm rich brown color and also gave me a great cut. I got lots of compliments and will be coming back to her. Thanks!

I love Phillip! His baylayage is amazing and he’s so nice,

Nenette is a genius! Her blow outs are fabulous and last for days. She also does my extensions and I get so many compliments on my hair I want to put her on retainer!

The best kept secret small salon in Houston.
I have been a client of Phillip’s for years and he always does a fantastic job!
The other two stylists are David and John, everyone I see them finish looks like a million bucks.
Décor is minimalist while comfortable and unpretentious.
You would be in capable hands with any of the three guys!

25 year old hair color virgin. I generally don’t trust hairstylists since one ruined mine a few years ago the day before New Years Eve.
Recommended to John by a couple people, and they were right… he took a couple pictures I gave him and turned my extra long, extra thick hair into exactly the hair I didn’t know I wanted! I am CLUELESS about hair, but John guided me along and it looks fabulous!
The salon is small, but I like it that way. I thought the price was extremely fair considering the time and effort it took for
My massive mop.
As a salon skeptic, even I recommend this place!

Both David and Phillip are awesome! Great people and amazing stylists!

I have a friend who’s hair always looks fabulous– I of course wanted to know who she goes to. Well, she let me in on a nice little secret. David Michael– It is a small salon and it is only David and another hairstylist.
David really knows what he is doing– I was incredibly impressed with my hair cut. I have super long hair and most stylists dont know how to handle it. They either huff and puff or just hack away.
David– took his time, explained what he was doing and why and left me with alot of volume but kept the length– when you have long hair that is usually the main issue– it weighs down.
I am really excited that I finally found someone who can handle my mane! Also, the price I was quoted for partial hilights was not outrageous (actually on the low side) I will definitely be returning for my trim’s and highlights.

This place is awesome. You ever watch those makeover shows where the person is hopelessly confused as to what to do with their hair and the hairdresser just takes over and instantly knows what would work best for you? That’s what it’s like walking in to David Michael Salon and working with David.
I’ve had countless hairdressers over the years, and a lot of them have really struggled with my super straight, coarse, asian hair (even asian hairstylists). I just walked in there, said, «Yeah, I don’t know what to do with this anymore» and David confidently asserted what would work best. And you know what? He was right, my hair looked awesome afterwards, definitely the best cut I’ve gotten in the past 5 years, at least.
The space is also super chill, not loud with like 10 other chairs (there’s just two chairs, maybe three, as I recall) and everyone is super nice. They even have a friendly «salon dog» that walks around in a non-​intrusive way.
Couple of downsides? Haircut is expensive, $ 45 for a dude. But, I’ve paid that much before for all-​fluff, no-​substance salons, so I actually didn’t think it was that horrible. Parking is also a bitch, they only have I think 3 spots in front. The receptionist told it’s no big deal to park next door at the rug store, though.
