AK Salon

I read some of these reviews with disbelief. Lots of racism.
I just got my haircut there and they did a fantastic job. They are skilled Iranian people with great personalities. The store has recently changed its name to Mary Salon. It gets very crowded, and has lots of returning customers. The service is great, the location is also decent and the prices are low, but the quality is high! Definitely coming back :)

I’ve been going to this place for over 2 years. The price is cheap and the ladies (Feroz and Mary) are always pleasant to talk to. They do a fantastic job for the price. I have only done eyebrow threading and face wax here, so cannot comment on other services.
Yes, they speak Iranian (not Arabic like one of the reviewers mentioned) to other customers who can speak their language. But that doesn’t bother me. If overhearing other languages which you don’t understand bothers you, then this is not the place for you, as would be other Indian/​Asian salons.

This place is a traditional immigrant establishment. The services are cheap but they get the job done. I’ve been a customer for over a year and have always had a great, affordable experience.
I don’t expect the red carpet to be rolled out when the prices are so low, but they do a fine job, regardless.

I come here whenever I come back to Dallas, and usually it’s fine. However, my most recent experience has me questioning whether I’ll come again.
My threading/​waxing takes a long time, obviously, but I’m paying for that time. When I came in, there was no one in the salon, and I was asked to wait. At this point, the TV was blaring (like, really loud) some Arabic TV show. Then, a woman came in for a facial, reminding one of the staff members that she had called two days before to set up this appointment. Strike one — they don’t keep appointments or honor requests for certain staff members.
She had to wait, even though I was a walk-​in, and I was seated to get started. Now at first my threader was doing a great and meticulous job. She was moving slowly, and it was almost painless. However, then the salon started getting crowded. About four woman and their daughters walked in, and they were all speaking incredibly loudly in Arabic. At this point, my threader starts moving a little faster. There were only two staff members at the shop, so she had to help out with the new crowd, I suppose. However, she started rushing and doing a poorer job. She started with the left half of my face, and you can tell that the left half is done much more carefully than the right. There were hairs left, even on my eyebrows. Also, in her rush to get more customers in, she almost ripped off skin with wax. Strike Two.
Then, these women were all walking around me while I was getting threaded and screaming in their loud Arabic. It was clear that they were trying to intimidate my threader in hurrying up so they could get their services done, and it made me really uncomfortable. It’s a beauty salon. Not a spectator sport. Go sit down and stop towering over me. The threader was speaking to these women (not asking them to sit down and wait), and she, again, almost ripped my skin off with wax. It hurt.
All in all, if you’re a Muslim woman who speaks Arabic, come on over. You’ll get good treatment. If you’re looking for the professionalism of a Western business, go elsewhere.
