Hair Stylists in Kyle

“I had an amazing experience at Hair by Love Salon! Since I was a brand new client and wanted to go from virgin black hair to an unnatural color, I first had to schedule a consultation. My consultation was with Brianna, and it was quick, easy, and informative. I showed her inspiration photos of the lavender color I wanted, and she performed a strand test to make sure my hair would react well to the lightening process before booking my appointment.

About two weeks later, I came back for my color appointment. I knew going from virgin hair to an unnatural color would be a long process because I had done it six years ago with another stylist, so I came prepared with my Kindle and some snacks. If you’re planning a major color transformation, I definitely recommend doing the same! I arrived at 11:00 AM and didn’t leave until around 8:00 PM. My hair is very long and thick, so the entire process took about seven hours.

For my appointment, Brianna did a balayage, colored my hair purple, gave me a haircut, and styled everything before I left. The total came to $597.60, including a 20% tip. I wanted to include the price because I know I always appreciate seeing what a transformation like this typically costs when reading reviews.

Brianna was wonderful throughout the entire appointment. She always let me know whenever she stepped away, offered refreshments, and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The atmosphere in the salon was just as impressive. You can tell everyone genuinely enjoys working together and supports one another. Brianna had a few of the other stylists help at different stages of the process, and it really felt like a team effort.

One thing I especially appreciated was how knowledgeable they are about vivid hair colors. I originally wanted a soft pastel lavender, but they intentionally colored my hair a darker purple. By starting with a deeper purple, it would gradually fade into the lavender shade I originally wanted instead of washing out after just a couple of shampoos. That showed me they care more about giving clients long lasting results than simply matching the inspiration photo on day one.

The first photo I’m attaching was taken the day after my appointment after my very first wash and after I styled it myself at home. The other photos were taken on July 10 after several washes and even swimming in a pool. The color has now faded into the exact soft lavender I originally wanted, so Brianna was absolutely right about starting with a darker shade.

One tip for anyone new to vivid hair colors is that they do require a little maintenance. After my first time in the pool, I noticed quite a bit of fading. I like to use the brand Keracolor once or twice a week between salon visits, and it’s helped keep the color looking fresh while conditioning my hair. It has been a great way to extend the life of my color.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would absolutely recommend Hair by Love Salon, especially Brianna, to anyone looking for a major color transformation. Their professionalism, communication, teamwork, and expertise made the long appointment completely worth it, and I love that my hair has evolved into exactly the color I envisioned.“

“Me and my son have been cutting our hair with Nelson for a couple months now and every time me and my son go to get freshened up we both come out satisfied with the cut. He always gets us right my son gets excited when he knows he's getting a haircut especially cause Nelson always gets him right with that design on him. And from my experience he knows how to get you right i always come out of there satisfied with my cut.“
