Assured Image Salon

Today was my first time going to Gwen at Assured Image salon, but it definitely won’t be my last! She was great to work with to figure out what would look the best. Very knowledgeable of color and processing color treated hair. My hair not only has great highlights but feels so healthy too. My husband can’t stop touching it. not sure if that is a good thing or a bad one.;)

A jewel in a corner of Meyerland/​Westbury/​Bellaire. It was Thursday and I had taken matters into my own hands and gave myself a «trim,» (YIKES). I was able to get in that morning and Gwen did an amazing job! I needed something that would look good when done professionally but more importantly a cut that would suit my low maintenance style and that is exactly what I got! The very best part was the price! The ladies of Assured Image were friendly, laid back. A great spot, great atmosphere and a great hair cut! (Oh, and they have a barber, FYI).

I worked with Gwen, who gave me a trim and color, and it turned out perfect! I have to give her extra points because my hair is very long, dry, thick, brittle and tangles up easily. At home I have to use a lot of specialty moisturizers just to keep it decent looking, and it has caused problems with some other stylists who had never worked with dry hair before.
Gwen was able to get it completely untangled and moisturized with minimal effort. And she chose the perfect color based on my requests. I asked specifically for something to help lighten my roots without making me look like an unnatural blonde. And the tone she chose was exactly that.
She’s clearly very skilled with all hair types, so I would recommend her to anyone

First visit today. Requested Gwen as my stylist based on the great reviews of her. I was not disappointed! Gwen was wonderful. so kind and sweet. My haircut was exceptional and I plan on returning. I’ve lived in this area for 30 years and can’t believe I didn’t know about this place. It is a hidden gem. Salon was very clean and relaxing. Great experience!

I visited Assured Image today for a wash, cut, and style. They were able to fit me in after I called earlier in the day. Mae cut my hair and styled it, and she did a great job! I came in knowing I badly needed a haircut, and she was able to asses my hair and suggest a cut that would be low maintenance and professional-​looking. This was impressive to me as many people have trouble making suggestions for my slightly curlier than wavy, thick but fine hair. She suggested doing a deep moisturizing mask as my hair is a little dry, but didn’t push when I said I didn’t want to do it this time. Once my hair was washed and cut, she spent a few minutes showing me easy ways I could style it differently that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own.
Finding a place to get my hair cut has been something I’ve been dreading since moving to Houston, but I will definitely be coming back here. I was in and out of the shop for a full wash, cut, and style in about an hour and fifteen minutes. I was also impressed with the number of clients coming in with different hair types! It seems like they have someone there who can work with each type, and I think that’s pretty awesome. It is a little pricier than I am used to, but it was worth it!

Amazing salon that can accommodate all hair types. Me and my daughter come here at least once a month. Julissa washes and styles my 16 year old’s thick curly hair to perfection in a short amount of time. Mrs. Gwen (owner) colors and straightens my hair precisely each visit. I enjoy coming to the salon and always leave with exactly what I want. The prices are very fair especially given the fact that they use high quality salon products. So thankful to have found this place on Unilocal

I went to this salon yesterday and I really enjoyed my visit. I went for a haircut. My hairstylist Mae was the sweetest person.
She explained everything to me step by step, so I always knew what she is doing and don’t have to worry. I definitely recommend her service to everyone looking for a good stylist.
The salon is very clean and inviting. A great place! I will be coming back.

I had green hair when I came in. I was afraid to do anything else to my hair after all the things that had damaged it. Gwen have me a cut and told me to come back for a discounted color. She made me feel very comforted, so I came back the next day, and I no longer have green hair. Everyone has been complimenting me on both the cut and color. I will be going back, and I have been suggesting them to everyone I know.

I went in for a mani/​pedi and was pleasantly surprised! The lobby was very clean and nice looking in a separate space from the rest of the salon. The nail tech, Kim, was very nice and ushered me back to a private manicure room. It was so nice to have a mani/​pedi in private! She turned on a little TV for me, and had some magazines. Excellent polish selection. I ended up getting a brow/​lip wax as well which was also great. Highly recommend. Comparable pricing to others in the area. For a mani/​pedi/​brow/​lip it was $ 55. I will be going back.

I really enjoyed my visit to this salon. Upon arrival I was greeted with friendly staff. I went in for a mani/​pedi. The nail technician Kimberly was the sweetest person. She directed me to a private room where to begin working on my nails. This was my first time experiencing a quiet, relaxing environment while getting my nails done. It was wonderful to have a conversation on a 1:1 basis without any distractions and noise. I highly recommend this establishment.

The first time i went here, Aurora did an amazing job on my spiral perm. She took her time, and had confident skill. My hair was to the middle of my back and she gave me a beautiful perm. I know what you are thinking… A perm on a 17 year old? It was the best decision about my hair I have ever made. It lasted for 9 months and still looked great. Then when I decided to cut my hair, I had Gwen cut and lowlight my hair. Today was my second time going to her for lowlights and she is fantastic! She takes her time and makes you feel comfortable. Not only does she do the lowlights but she makes sure to style your hair how you want so that you leave the salon looking fabulous! Now I am anxiously waiting for my hair to grow out so that I can get my spiral perm done by Aurora again!
I have attached some photos of my perm (before and after) and of my lowlights

Had a great cut from Gwen (the owner) this morning! My hair looks great. Definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a good stylist.
Gwen is very personable and friendly, and I loved my hair cut. She cleaned up my split ends and gave me a flattering cut that helped disguise my post-​partum alopecia. Aside from having a great cut, she made recommendations for hair care products without being pushy or trying to up-​sell. The whole focus was on making my hair look good and making me feel good about my hair.

This place is nice. Ms Gwen appears a nice women but is slightly unprofessional by the way she gossips about clients who have just left the door to other clients. The overall atmosphere is nice and the staff caters to all races. I just don’t appreciate how she takes advantages of younger clients and makes them wait excessively. I was there recently for a shampoo style and the whole process took 5 hours. Ms. Gwen does a great job if you are willing to wait forever and possibly be talked about.

I first came to this salon when they ran a keratin Groupon Deal in May 2011. I loved my keratin treatment and enjoyed how the salon owner explained ever single step she was going to do and why. Ever since then I have been back to get my long natural hair pressed several times, then my hair relaxed and cut into a bob, and manicure/​pedicure and facials. This place is amazing! Reasonable prices, they cater to all races/​ethnicities, and my hair and skin finally looks great and healthy.
When you get a manicure/​pedicure there is no rush. Just you and the manicurist in a room. Its very relaxing. In addition the manicurist is a fabulous esthetician. She never pushed any products on me and encourages you to bring your own products so she can look at and advice you on if it is working for you.
This is a great place!

Today was my first visit to Assured Image. Aurora was my stylist. I have to say that the experience was the best thing to have happened to me in a long time. I love my cut, color, highlights, and brow wax that I received. I will definitely be going back on a regular basis!

I went last week for a shellac manicure. The manicurist, May Li (sp?) was wonderful and did a marvelous job. She was very professional, friendly and nurturing. The experience was very enjoyable and relaxing.
This experience was entirely different from the nail places I had gone to before. Since it was just the two of us in 1 room, there wasn’t the problem of many manicurists speaking among themselves while ignoring the clients.
I look forward to going back to Assured Images for other services since I loved the atmosphere.

This review is only for the facials at Assured Image. I had never had a facial before, but I received a voucher for a 1-​hr session and thought, what the heck!
The lobby area was clean and neat, and the staff was very friendly. The first thing they did was hand me a clipboard and asked me to fill out a questionaire with all my contact info (cell, email, address, etc) and questions about my skin. The lady doing the facial greeted me, and right off the bat I noticed she had a few large dark splotches on her face. I don’t mean to be unkind, but given the nature of her profession I feel this is a relevant observation!
The listed price for an hour-​long facial was a whopping $ 85. My facial lasted only 45 min. I had no idea what to expect and found it sorta offputting to be surprised by very hot and very cold things randomly being applied to my face without warning. The highlight of the session was a very relaxing neck and shoulder massage.
The main reason for such a low rating is this: Even though I told her I don’t have any skin issues other than the occasional need for a good moisturizer, she pushed a chemical peel on me, saying it was the ONLY way to truly get rid of dry skin. WHAT? Adding that hers is only $ 30 versus $ 120 from a dermatologist was not a comforting sales pitch. When the day comes that I want chemicals coming into contact with my face, I’ll shell out the $ 120 thank you very much!
One of my girlfriends also went last week, indicated something about pores on her questionnaire, and was also told she needed a chemical peel to address that. Does anyone else sense a disturbing trend here?
Gratuity was automatically added on at 18%, bringing the full price cost of this service to $ 100. I’m not sure if this was a typical facial, but basically I left relaxed and with the feeling of a borderline greasy face and not much more. If this is all there is to it, I can’t help wondering who actually pays for these?

The owner Gwen is amazing! The salon is very inviting and the staff is professional and friendly. I have always gotten my hair colored and cut but decided to get a facial because my skin was so dry. I can’t believe I waited so long! My skin looked and felt fantastic. I bought the cleanser and moisturizer and really love it.
Thanks
