The Mane Event

Love my «me time» with Maria here at the Mane Event! She does a great job with my pedicures and facials and even the dermaplaning! For me to entrust my eye brows to someone is rare but every time Maria does them they are not only tamed but shaped perfectly. Look out Mari, if I ever will the lotto I will steal you as my personal beauty coordinator full time!

I cannot praise him enough but here goes another great review for my stylist Greg. He goes above & beyond to make you happy & give you the style you want. He’s honest & will tell you truthfully if something won’t work. However he does love trying new things. You know Greg is good when he books weeks out! :)

Jackie does a fantastic job! She does my haircuts and does hair color for several of my family members. We are always happy with her work. The prices at this salon are very reasonable and they work efficiently.
I highly recommend The Mane Event.

Casey Hartmann does a Awesometastic job! My hair looked and felt so healthy after. I adored her personality!

I was in to see Richard G. for the first time on the 18^th, he did a excellent job of cutting my hair per a pic I had, he was also a joy to talk to during the process, he is a little rough around the edges with those combs and brushes, felt at times my ear was coming off but we joked about that. I enjoyed the shampoo that his assistant used, it did not make my head itch as a lot of them will do.
I was surprised at paying $ 67 for a cut and blow dry but since I do not go to a stylist very often that may be the going price… As I am on a budget of sorts I will not be able to go as much as I may like but will return for a follow up after hair grows out a bit. Thanks Richard !

I love seeing Maria, the owner /​best sugar wax expert, I have been to. I told her she inspired me to want to become and aesthetician & she gave me so many pointers about what to do and what not to do. (mind you while she is waxing extremely grown out mammoth style hair around my vag) NO PAIN, i mean pain but it’s just physical and she would tell me when to breath so it wouldnt hurt half as bad. Only 70 $ (I live in houston & they charge out of this world prices for a brazilian) anyway, moral of the story, great experience calls for a great Unilocal review.
THANK YOU, MARIA! I feel so much more confident and happy :)

Came here for a keratin treatment. My hair is completely destroyed. I have had to spend thousands of dollars to get it to look somewhat normal again. I went to my hair salon in Houston and they told me that they used a relaxer for African American hair on my hair and straightened it. My hair has fallen out completely so I had to get extensions for $ 2000. Otherwise I would hardly have any hair. I’ve spent so much money on conditioning treatments as well but my hair is not anywhere close to what it used to be. What a horrible experience. And to top it off, after I called to get a refund and they did refund me but then called me back to try to get the refund back because it was a «misunderstanding». I would advise everyone to stay far away from this place.
And this is six months later, my hair is still destroyed.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE
Never in my life seen a salon so over priced with terrible service. We walked in just before 5PM to get my haircut, my niece and girlfriends nails done. We waited for a while before anyone got started, I was first up with my haircut. The lady completely screwed up my hair and had to get a guy to come salvage what was left. To make matters worse she said she would only charge me half price. I refused to pay and they eventually did not charge me for their mistake. It was so bad when I got home I had to buzz all my hair off so thanks for that.
They did a great job on my niece; she was out in short time. They did a great job on my girlfriend as well but it took nearly three hours to get her nails done, they lady said she would be done in a hour. I took the kids home and came back well over a hour later and they were still not done. They finally finished at nearly 730, the place closed at 7. The lights were off, everyone was gone and she was still sitting in the back.
I approached two women as they were walking out after 7 and asked who owned the place. A woman said that she did and I told her what happened and she just looked at me like, yeah ok, whatever, have a good night and walked out. Not we are really sorry, that should not have happened, that is not typical of my business. She literally seemed like she could care less.
TAKE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

I came in for the first time today, and Casey was my stylist. What I came in hoping for was also the vision she had in mind for me after she took a look at my hair, so right away, I was pleased. The shampoo was wonderful, the cut process was easy and turned out just how I wanted, and I waked or of there happy. I’ve been looking for a person that I can rely on since I moved to the area a year ago, and I think Casey is that person. I will definitely return, and will recommend Casey.
On her own, I give Casey 5 stars. The business gets 4 (for today) because of the front desk. I’m pretty sure it was fluke-​y, but no one was welcoming when I arrived and attempted to check in, BUT by the time I checked out, there was a very pleasant woman at the front desk.

Maria (the owner) seriously can do anything! She was great and readily available. Everyone was pleasant as well.

In town for family funeral and needed color and cut prior to services. Read reviews here on Unilocal first but it was a Monday and they were open. My 80 year old mother went along too for wash, set & style. The stylist Gloria said I had green hair and sought the expertise of another stylist in the salon. They treated and corrected that before applying permanent color. I picked a light blonde color and my hair is now dark brunette! Not too happy about the results. She gave me a good all-​over trim and it styled nicely the next day.
My mother gave the option of rollers or curling iron to her stylist. She explained to her in-​depth about making sure she styled it so as to cover the balding spot on the top and due to her thin aging hair, she would like it to be teased for fullness. The stylist spent lots of time trying to accomplish these goals but was unsuccessful! Gloria stepped in and said she would show her how it’s done.
I asked for an eyebrow wax and Gloria was an expert so I asked for an upper lip wax. I forgot to ask the fees. It was $ 25 for both I learned at checkout. That was overpriced compared to my past experiences of $ 6 for brows and $ 4 for lip.
Neither my mother nor myself will return.

Love the place people are so nice and very Baylor friendly :)

I absolutely love this place. The customer service is great! You can take a picture of a haircut you want and your stylist will be able to tell you how that will look on you and will give you exactly what you ask for. Your haircut at the end will look so similar to the picture you brought in you’ll be amazed. All the stylist are incredibly friendly and chatty. It’s more expensive than procuts or walmart, but I feel like I’m paying for both the experience and the service. Definitely recommend this place!

I have been seeing Maria for years now, primarily for bikini (Brazilian) waxes. Well, actually sugaring, but still. She is PHENOMENAL. I can hold a normal conversation the entire time– it’s not «painless», per se, but it’s definitely the most comfortable bikini wax I have ever had. She’s always made me feel comfortable and she is extremely talented, working quickly and efficiently. I’m usually walking out the door 15 minutes after the wax starts, which is incredible, and have never once had an adverse reaction, bumps, etc.
I have been getting bikini waxes for about 8 years now, and have tried every method, tons of salons, etc. Maria and her sugaring are the way to go. We recently moved away from Waco, but I still drive over an hour to see her every 6 – 8 weeks. She’s THAT good.

Not sure what happened here. Dropped my wife and daughter off, and picked them up three hours later. They looked beautiful, radiant, and very happy… Maybe the Mighty Zohan works there.

I’ve always had frizzy hair that never quite organizes itself into real curls, so a while back, I decided that it would be a good idea to try a relaxer to help tame the mess.
I suppose I have a bit of a tolerance to head pain because I left Mane Event with nice straight hair… and a chemical burn on my scalp. Part of this might be my fault for not realizing that a tingling sensation on my head isn’t all that normal, but I also feel like the point of «yeah, that’s enough time to set» wasn’t explained adequately enough before my hairdresser got distracted by something shiny and went off to fiddle with Bob-​knows-​what elsewhere in the salon. C’mon, I know it’s a treatment that takes a while, but you never want to leave someone just… sitting there. Waiting. For long periods of time in between periodic drop-​bys of «hey, how’s it going?»
Perhaps this was the universe’s payback against me for deciding that a place with a cheesy, overused pun for a name might be okay to try because the locals seemed to think it was all right. Nope. Never again.

Finally, a salon in Waco that’s not all about the tease combs and permanents. Ricardo saved the day. Great color and cut, and he’s a sweetie. Full service salon with a fun atmosphere.

I’ve visited this salon a few times. The first time I got a stylist I didn’t really like, she doesn’t work there anymore. More recently I saw Amy Tindell, she did a great job on my hair before my wedding. The salon also offers eyebrow «sugaring» which I found much less painful than waxing. I had two different people do it, but I think I preferred Maria. And the cost is only a couple dollars more than traditional waxing. Just make sure to have an appointment!
