Good to know in Houston

Houston humidity changes how a cut falls. Layers can puff up and straight hair can go flat by lunch. Ask your stylist to cut for humidity, and to show you how to style it on a damp day.

Texas requires stylists to hold a TDLR cosmetology license and the salon to hold a TDLR establishment license. Tools are cleaned and disinfected between guests.
