Best Hair Salons In San Antonio

“From the moment I walked into First Impressions Salon, I felt like I was being greeted by an old friend. John immediately made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. He has such a warm, personable energy that the entire appointment felt fun and relaxing instead of stressful or rushed.

The best part? He somehow knew exactly what I was trying to ask for…even when I didn’t fully know how to explain it myself. And he was able to make recommendations that stayed within my budget! That level of experience and attentiveness is rare. I have a lot of gray that I’m just not ready to embrace yet, and John blended and colored it better than any stylist I’ve ever been to. The color turned out absolutely beautiful, natural, and flattering, and I honestly could not be happier with the results.

What also stood out to me was his professionalism and responsiveness. Other salons either sent me straight to voicemail, made me text and wait days for a reply, or were booked out for months. I called John, and while I didn’t get through immediately, he personally called me back within minutes and got me scheduled the very same week — on a Saturday no less, which everyone knows is one of the busiest salon days. I had explained that I was going out of town and needed a cut and color quickly, and he truly went above and beyond to make it happen.

I actually live much closer to several other salons, but after this experience, I’m more than happy to make the drive to see him. Great prices, amazing color work, attentive service, and an overall genuinely enjoyable experience. I left feeling refreshed, confident, and excited to come back.

Can’t wait to book with him again!“

“Finding a hairstylist you can truly trust is rare, and I can honestly say she is AMAZING at what she does. Every single time I leave her chair, I feel more confident, beautiful, and refreshed. She listens to exactly what you want while also giving professional advice that truly works for your hair type and style. Her cuts are always flawless, her color work is BEAUTIFUL, and she pays attention to every little detail. She somehow manages to make your hair look healthy, vibrant, and effortless all at once. Not only is she talented, but she also creates such a comfortable and welcoming environment that makes every appointment feel relaxing and fun. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about her clients, takes pride in her work, and consistently delivers amazing results, BOOK WITH HER. She is hands down one of the best hairstylists I’ve ever been to, and I constantly get compliments on my hair because of her. Highly, highly recommend!“

“I had the most amazing experience at Alfredo James Hair Design - Stone Oak location! From the moment I walked in, everyone was so welcoming and professional. The atmosphere was relaxing, clean, and stylish, which immediately made me feel comfortable.

Alfredo really took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave helpful suggestions that worked perfectly for my hair type and style. The attention to detail was incredible, and you can tell he truly cares about his clients. The haircut turned out even better than I imagined — fresh, flattering, and easy to manage.

When I tell you #1 The lady at the desk, to die for, was so polite and listen to me ramble about my tattoos. 10/10 Hospitality. #2 the knowledge that was given and the practicality. I could scream at past me for even attempting to go anywhere else! The stylist I had so much experience and knowledge! She asked a lot of questions that really helped me and her narrow down the REAL style i was after and I don't usually grow my hair out but she gave me tips, tricks and products to try. The other stylists were nice as well! The environment ? the staff ? and the price ? superb!“

“I got my first-ever curly haircut with Kristina. I have never seen my curls look this good in my life. The amount of willpower it took me not to burst into tears from pure joy was incredible.

“Stylist: HOLLAND 11/10 recommend!
Owner: Gina 11/10 so helpful
It was after work hours when I looked into booking an appointment, and I was surprised when I received a message from Gina herself soon afterwards and she was able to assist me in not only scheduling for the very next day but also support me in figuring out what I could do with my hair in my budget. I wanted to go as blonde as possible from old dyed red hair and grown out roots. She scheduled me with HOLLAND!! Holland was so kind and helpful and we did test strands and she gave me an idea of costs and worked her magic and miracles.“

“Jen and Val made me feel like the most beautiful bride. I’ve never felt more beautiful! My bridal party and family loved Jen and Val so much!! Not only did everyone look and feel beautiful but we also just had so much fun talking with Jen and Val. A huge thank you to Jen and Val for bringing the best vibes and energy but also for making us all feel gorgeous!! It was also so easy to work with everyone at Viva La Glam including Danielle who responded so quickly and was always so helpful. I never felt anxious about my hair and makeup because they really took care of us. My grandma and my mother in law also both got black eyes before the wedding and after Jen and Val worked their magic, you couldn’t tell at all. It was magic!!?“
