SOK Salon

Tisha is beyond amazing!!! I love love love the color the cut and the scalp massage that was pure bliss!!! I’ll be back in her chair soon!!!

GEORGE is amazing! I’ve never had healthier, more beautiful hair. Great cut, color and product recommendations. I get compliments ALL THE TIME. Even bank tellers and grocery store clerks, women and men!!! I’ve recommended him to lots of strangers, family and friends and they are all very happy repeat costomers!

Stephanie did a wonderful job on my color! She got me to the blonde I like even though my roots were terribly grown out. Naturally I have super curly hair, she was able to give me a nice smooth blowout that lasted for days– even in this humidity.

This place is great, I have had multiple different stylists cut my hair here and all very professional. But the best is Tisha, she is very detail oriented and knows how to make you look good!

SOK is a very peaceful and fun place to get your style on! I personally drive 35 miles to go here! Dana is my stylist and she is amazing and fun and a perfectionist when it comes to my hair! The salon is clean and very pleasant to be in. I love that they use technology to confirm appointments via Text — nice reminder — SOK is a wonderful place full of talented men and women, I would 100% recommend them!

Not impressed. …My appointment was with Tammy in November 2014. yes, it taken me this long to forgive her :) for the mess she made on my hair and the price I had to pay for it. Although she has curly hair she had a difficult time working with the Ouidad products. The hair cut was going fine until she decided to pour at least a bottle of some Ouidad gel product and then spray me with another product. She then decided to sit me under a dryer for while, when I got out I came out with a jheri curl.literally. My hair was hard and stuck to my scalp. I asked her to if it was going to stay that way and she answered no it should loosen. By the end of the day I had the white flaky gel all over my head. Very Disappointed! Spoke to the salon owner manager and he offered to to fix it… Hmmmm I’ll pass …

Wanna look beautiful? ASK FOR NICKI! She made my hair… GORGEOUS! She took this washed out, dull look ombré and turned it into this full, textured and elegant hair. Can’t believe this is my hair. It’s way too pretty. See my photos.

Tish has done an outstanding job the two times that I’ve seen her. She perfectly layers my long, thick hair to give it volume and movement. This time I asked for subtle well-​blended highlights; she delivered impressive results.
She also chats just the right amount, easily carrying on conversation but being quiet if I am. Everyone in the salon is friendly. The space is trendy with great natural light.
SOK isn’t cheap, but you will always be assured of quality cut/​color and a fun experience!

After some very hard searching to find someone in Houston who was experienced in dreadlock maintenance (for Caucasian hair) I was finally given Jessica’s name (twice!). Saw her today and I’m very happy I did. She did an excellent job on my dreads.
Also the salon was nice and everyone was very friendly. They were very busy but I didn’t wait long at all. And the price was just right.

I am beyond picky when it comes to my hair. I decided to try out SOK, and I don’t regret my decision. All the stylists have their own style, and are so friendly. The facility is modern and clean. Nicole cut my hair, and I love it. She was friendly, and she always made sure I was okay like if I was thirsty or wanted a blanket. Quality service and products!

Everyone is very professional, friendly and accommodating. SOK serves beverages while you wait, which is never long. They don’t push their products on you either, which a lot of places have a real problem with. It’s also conveniently located — not too far from either downtown/​central Houston or West Houston. Finally, if requested, they’ll send texts and/​or email notifications of your pending appointment.

SOK is amazing. I have been a regular client for 3+ years. They have been very accommodating with some last minute appointment changes. The staff are always friendly and courteous, and the forever changing décor puts everybody in a great mood (especially around Halloween).

I am a new client and my stylist was Richard. I was nervous coming to a new salon but, Richard put me at ease immediately! He colored and cut my hair, he was the first stylist to «ever» give me exactly what I was looking for! I would totally recommend Richard to everyone!

To preface my review and (I hope?) lend some credibility, I want to give a bit of insight into my spending habits: I have been a regular patron at end salons in NYC, Philly, and Dallas and paid upwards of $ 400 for a variety of services including cut, color, conditioning, extensions, blow outs etc. I don’t mind paying for quality and don’t hesitate to pamper myself.
I left SOK feeling used, abused, and totally taken advantage of.
They charged me $ 310 for highlights.
Let me repeat — $ 310. For highlights. No cut, no style, no additional color… just HIGHLIGHTS. I left with damp, lank hair that I had finish drying at home. That is obscene. At least throw in a quickie neck massage and hair curl if you are going to slap such a high price tag on your services.
Also — I was taken aback by the immense pressure the stylist put on buying product. I thought I was relaxing at a salon, not in the lobby of a used car dealership? I was pressed upon many times to buy the specific product he was using, and then given a slip of paper to bring to the front counter. When I gave it to the front desk, they told me it was a list product he recommended me to buy, the total of which was $ 170!
How cheap and tacky.
Needless to say — I will not be back. I am sure can find a better place to bring my regular and generous business.
PS — In case it is important to you, dear reader, I did tip my stylist. I didn’t enjoy my experience, but he still rendered a service to my hair. Stylists gotta eat, yo.

I went in with pretty brown hair and left $ 300+ poorer with unwanted shades of orange and blue. I had another appointment today, but when I showed up was told my stylist «went home sick.» The receptionist assured me they called, and left a message even though they didn’t. I’ve cried about my hair for weeks. No one cares about fixing it or the customer at SOK.

Every time I style my hair after Norma cut it over three weeks ago, i’m amazed by the fact that this woman even has a license to cut hair, much less an actual job.
First, when a girl with frizzy middle eastern hair sits in a chair and asks for her hair to be cut so that it covers her neck and falls below her shoulders, why on earth would Norma cut it so short that it can’t even be gathered into a pony tail? And worse, why would she ignore my repeated pleas that its being cut too short and keep working? Second, I very clearly asked for no layers. I’ve now got hair on my head that’s an inch long. Third, my hair is at least one full inch longer on one side of my head than the other. I’m not kidding. Does this woman check her work? And worst, I walked in with a full head of thick hair. Norma thinned it out so much i’ve probably got half as much hair as I walked in with.
I’d ask to come in again to get it fixed, but i’ve really got no hair left. Thanks Norma, now that i’m $ 100 poorer, i’m really looking forward to how this hair will look once Houston’s humidity sets in. Yikes.

I felt compelled to log on here and write a review about Jessica at SOK. I have been salon hopping for a few years now since my favorite stylist moved away. My good friend has fabulous hair that is similar in texture to mine so I asked her where she goes and she told me Jessica is a rockstar at SOK. I had my hair cut by her yesterday and am beyond thrilled.
I have long, wavy, layered hair and couldn’t seem to find someone to give me a custom-​to-​me cut to accentuate my texture and face shape. This cut is the best ever. At the salon, Jessica told me that she didn’t cut too much around the face because I should style it myself at home and see if I think I need more. And if I did, she would cut more free under SOK’s «free bang trim» policy. Today after styling it myself, I am so incredibly grateful that Jessica had the experience to tell me to wait and see. This is the *perfect* cut.
Thank you, Jessica, for restoring my faith in my hair and for being a sweet and patient stylist that took your time to make it perfect.

I went to Sean for a Ouidad haircut to get layers for my thick curls. I told him I wanted an inch trim, layers for air drying, and everything long enough to wear a ponytail. I wore my hair curly so he could see how he could improve on it. He took at least three inches off in some places, so the front is too short to put up. He didn’t even trim the bottom layer. Then the style he gave me was not at all my taste– a frizzy, free flowing curl-​fro. I immediately washed and restyled and I will say he gave me fantastic layers. He definitely understands curls, but for the price I will probably try a different Ouidad certified stylist.
The salon itself is cute, and they use high quality products, but for the price of all the services I was hoping for a better result.

I’m so happy with my haircut. I went in not really knowing what I wanted and Norma took the time to help me figure it out. She got my haircut done in about an hour and was so nice the entire time. It was $ 75 for my haircut and I have medium length hair. I also liked that she didn’t try to push too much product on me. I will definitely come back to get my haircut again.
Another plus was I didn’t have an appointment today, but they were able to schedule me just a few hours after I called. I’m not sure how true walk ins work, but if you call you should be able to get an appointment.
They don’t accept AMEX. Just for future reference.

I always get the best cut an color each time I go to SOK. I always book with Justin S and he is always so personable and funny and I love my hair every time. He’s the best!
The salon itself is always bright, cheery and clean. I love the massage chairs when you are getting your hair washed.
