Michael Raymond

Christina gave me the most beautiful bob I’ve seen. She knew exactly what my hair needed (and explained it to me). I’m so glad I found this place while in town.

I have been coming here for over 5 years and love it! Angela is amazing and knows cut and color better than anyone! The salon gets you in and the staff is very courteous. Very professional.

Finally found a great jAveda salon in Dallas! Shelly and Kelly are fantastic and do great work. The staff were all welcoming and the salon is very clean.

I went in to Michael Raymond Salon to cut off a lot of hair (7+ inches). Daniel let me know what type of cut would look best with my features, and I never question his opinion and skills. He is so precise that people always compliment me on how straight my cut is. I love my new shorter hair, and I will come back to Daniel time and time again!

Nice place to get a hair cut. Prices are reasonable. Daniel seems to know his stuff, is easy to talk to and sold me some nice products that I have enjoyed using.

I have been going to see Daniel McFarlin here for about 6 months. My hair has never looked better. I get so many compliments on it now. The salon is very professional and clean and I am in and out looking good in less than an hour. Go see Daniel he is great and I have spent years looking for a good stylist.

I was referred to Carli by a coworker. My hair is quite short and It was badly in need of attention to correct poor texturing. Carli listened to my concerns and spent time addressing them with an excellent haircut. She consulted with me on products and styling but I have to say the precision with which she cut my hair was the most impressive. I’ve paid the same price and gotten buzzed, washed and out the salon in 15 minutes. Carli’s time and attention to detail shows. Several people today have commented on my hair so I wanted to post this review to thank Carli and tell anyone interested in trying the salon to be sure to ask for her. I happily booked my next appointment before leaving and while I did purchase product, I did not feel pressured to do so.

I am fairly new to Dallas and have a co-​worker with great hair.
Typically I won’t go anywhere in a new city without some sort of referral.
I was told to check out Kelly.
I moved from abroad so no one had touched my hair for a minute.
She rocked it. Perfect cut and touched up color exactly as I needed.
Love this girl, laid back, knows what she is doing 100%, hears you and does it. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I will continue to go to her for sure.
Added bonus: Aveda salon. Who wouldn’t be excited? Aveda has the best products.

Overpriced. I continued to go monthly for about a year but slowly came to realize the haircuts I was getting were average and the people tended to be a bit rude. You can certainly do much better for the price. Also, the signs in the waiting area guilting customers into buying their marked-​up products were strange, like asking for charity.

I went here for color only. I had Shelley, who has been with MR for years and is the manager.
She was nice enough but my color was not good. I have about a level one hair color (darkest) and she probably went with a three because my hair turned out with a reddish color instead of almost black. I told another hairdresser this when I went for a keratin and he said that Aveda color was not the greatest in his opinion. It did not do a good job of covering my gray, which is the purpose of my hair color. Will not be going back.
Also, before you leave, they want to sign you up for your next appointment and make you fill out paperwork with all your contact info, including address. An assistant came to my chair and handed me a clipboard and wanted to know when to book my next appt and said I could cancel later if needed. A little tacky.

I heard about this salon through fellow Unilocaler Erin M.‘s post about being a model for the continued learning course she is taking at this salon, needing a haircut probably at least two months ago it sounded like a great idea.
I walked in and it was like getting my hair cut in the middle of the class… where everyone gathered around me and they talk about me like I wasn’t there. It was weird at first but just focused on a free haircut that I do badly needed. They were all really nice and glad my hair was awful so they could fix it. I had more cut off than I originally wanted but it was to make it more healthy and I agree that it feels much, much better than it did.
I liked Erin M so much that I will probably be back to the salon she actually works at (another MIchael Raymond) to get my hair dyed.
Other perks… the hair wash, the complimentary massage, free drink, ample parking.

I am a wavy-​to curly head of hair. Somewhat coarse, think Katherine Hepburn. I have had a horrible time finding someone in Dallas to cut my hair properly, because the city is inundated with stylist trained to cut the minions of women wanting to look like Jennifer Aniston. FINALLY I found Karlie at this salon. She cut my hair correctly, perfectly actually. She used scissors– not the texturizing type, and gave me a haircut I can wake up in and leave the house with a comb thru– i.e. not a ton of styling product and un-​reproducable blowout. And as a bonus, she didn’t push a bunch of Aveda product on me, which frankly while it smells lovely, it always dries out my hair. The environment is clean, not pretentious and the staff is tres courteous. Karlie– you are the best!

Arthur is a certified Aveda colorist whom my wife followed from 2 other locations over the past 8 years. She says «Stay away from him, he’s all mine!» She loves his cuts and appreciates the multilayers of lowlight colors he weaves through her hair.

After 5 years of getting my hair highlighted by Shelley, there’s no way I’d go anywhere else — I actually followed her from the Mockingbird salon. I learned my lesson the hard way when I first moved to Dallas and had miserable experiences at some less expensive salons. Shelley is the queen of highlights (especially blonde), and she also manages the salon very well. She thoroughly understands how to treat different hair types (ie, fine, naturally blonde hair does NOT go under heat while processing highlights!).
The salon itself is very clean, and very polished. They carry all Aveda products, including Aveda’s cosmetic line and they just recently (within the past year or so?) added an esthetician whom I have yet to try.
Not once in 5 years have I had any scheduling snafu, albeit occasionally they’ll run a bit behind due to a previous client being late, but when they’re running more than slightly behind, I’ve gotten a phone call to let me know.
Water, lemonade, or tea are served (I keep telling Shelley they need something «stronger» for those really stressful days, but no luck!) and during the shampoo, you get an arm massage that has rarely been anything short of blissful. After a short complimentary touch up of your makeup with some of the Aveda product line, you feel totally pampered.
I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.

I emailed my complaint to corporate via their website.
This was over a week ago. I have not received a response.
You suck, Michael Raymond, and you know it. I need no further proof.
