Let’s be honest: finding a good salon in The Colony used to feel like searching for a parking spot at the Grandscape on a Saturday, a total gamble. But this list is proof the drought is over, ranging from spots where you’ll get a mimosa and a dog visit to a barbershop that nails a perfect skin fade every single time.

I’ve personally left one of these places with hair so shiny I caught myself staring at my reflection in a car window. The good news?

The standards here are brutally high, and the stylists are ridiculously nice. So grab your keys, skip the highway traffic, and scroll through.

Your best hair day is waiting.

Lucy's Salon

Highlights
Friendly, sweet, welcoming staff
Clean and organized salon
Carmen’s precise, beautiful color work
Calm, educational stylist approach
Great word-of-mouth referral potential

Okay, let’s get real about Lucy’s Salon. I walked in with the vague, desperate energy of someone who’d been cutting her own bangs, and left feeling like a human again. The staff is that perfect mix of sweet and welcoming that makes you forget you’re about to trust them with your dignity. Carmen did my color, and I honestly think she has a tiny paintbrush and a degree in precision. The place is clean, organized, and the vibe is calm, like a spa but with better gossip. She explains everything like you’re a friend, not a client. I’ve already told three people. That’s the highest honor I can give.

BEAUTY SALON CG

Highlights
Five years of loyalty
Amazing hair straightening results
Ultra shiny, silky finish
Top-notch professional care
Wholehearted, repeated recommendations

Look, I’m not one for brand loyalty, but I’ve been walking into BEAUTY SALON CG for five years, and that’s basically a marriage in haircare years. My hair is naturally a wiry, unpredictable menace, yet they tame it into something that shines like a wet seal. Seriously, the straightening results are so shiny and silky I catch myself touching it in public like a weirdo. The care is top-notch, professional, but also warm. They don’t rush you out the door. I’ve sent my sister, my mom, and one very skeptical coworker, and every single one came back with the same goofy grin. I’ll keep coming. Wholeheartedly.

And their dog makes rounds, which is the kind of official title I’d like to see on a business card. Every stylist I’ve had does an unmatched blowout, like they’ve signed a secret pact with gravity itself. Plus, they give smart, personalized advice without being preachy. I left with a plan and a buzz. What more could you want?

My nephew sat still for a full fifteen minutes, which I think is some kind of world record. The cuts are clean, detailed, and they don’t rush the edges, so you leave looking sharp and feeling smug. Customer service is top-tier, friendly, and they actually listen when you point at a blurry photo. Worth every single penny. I’d pay double just to skip the small talk elsewhere.

Highlights
Personal consultation before every cut
Stylists text to check comfort
Friendly, relaxed, snack-filled atmosphere
Trendy color and highlight expertise
Clients leave feeling like million bucks

Jessy’s Salon has ruined other salons for me, and I’m okay with it. They do a personal consultation before every cut, which sounds fancy but really means they sit down and ask what you actually want instead of just assuming. And get this: the stylists text you afterward to check if you’re comfortable with the length. That’s insane. It’s a friendly, relaxed vibe, plus snacks, which automatically earns points. My highlights were so trendy I got compliments from strangers. I walked out feeling like a million bucks, and not just because they tell you that. The whole experience is like therapy, but with better hair.

Her kindness is unmatched, and the whole experience leaves you feeling refreshed and confident, which is rare. I left my old grudge at the door and booked my next appointment immediately.

Highlights
Transformed damaged hair beautifully
Honest advice, genuine client care
Long-lasting curls, zero damage
Luxury experience, always kind

Effi Glamour & Beauty took my hair from ‘burnt spaghetti’ to ‘luxury silk,’ and I’m still not over it. I’d been using cheap products and a curling iron on high for years, so my hair was a sad, cotton-candy mess. They transformed it beautifully, with zero damage, which I didn’t think was possible. They’re honest, too, which I appreciate. Instead of upselling me, they gave genuine advice about my hair’s health. The curls they did stayed for days, like a miracle with a hairspray. The whole experience feels luxurious but also kind, like you’re being pampered by a friend who happens to be a hair wizard.

The Evelyn Kershaw Salon

Highlights
Alaina’s cuts are pure magic
Shampoo bowl nap central
Kids leave feeling fabulous
Makenna nails fun layers
Relaxing from start to finish

The Evelyn Kershaw Salon is my favorite kind of escape. Alaina’s cuts are pure magic, like she can see the layer structure you’ve always wanted but couldn’t articulate. The shampoo bowl is nap central, I’m serious, I nearly drooled on myself. They’re also amazing with kids; my little niece left feeling like a glamorous queen, which was adorable and slightly concerning. Makenna does fun, messy layers that actually work, not the weird staircase effect. The whole place is relaxing from start to finish, soft lighting, quiet music, no rush. I left feeling brand new, like I’d just come back from a retreat. A hair retreat. I’m in.

Venus Salon Suites Lewisville

Highlights
Spotless, welcoming, genuinely caring staff
Patient with mobility needs
Susan excels at thick hair
Perfect color matching expertise
Clean spaces, top to bottom

Venus Salon Suites Lewisville is a bit of a drive for me, but I’d walk if I had to. The place is spotless, top to bottom, and the staff is welcoming and genuinely caring, not that fake ‘how are you’ while they’re already walking away. They were so patient with my mom, who has mobility issues and needs a little extra time to get situated. That kindness isn’t something you can train. Susan is a genius with thick hair, which is a rare gift. She tamed my mane without making me look like a lion. And the color matching is perfect, no orange roots or weird bands. I felt safe and seen. That’s the best review I can give.
