What People Are Saying

 

I was new to DFW in 2014 and came to Ulta to donate my hair to Locks for Love. Simaria, Salon Manager, cut, colored and styled my hair that day. Now, any girl who has to grow her hair out knows that there are ALWAYS "awkward (frustrating) stages". With Simaria, I never had an awkward stage and always felt confident with my style. It's going on 3 years and my hair is long, healthy and constantly receive compliments from friends, co-workers and strangers. I have total trust in her recommendations...and that is difficult to find! If you are looking for a new stylist who is up to date with techniques and trends, see Simaria!!—Danielle S.

Simaria is a hair magician! First, I went to her for a haircut because my hair was long and lifeless. Without losing more than 1/2 inch in length, she gave my hair tons and tons of body and made now it is super healthy and easy to style. A month later, I decided it was time to color it. I have been brunette my entire life, but I was getting bored with it. I showed her a picture of Giselle's hair in a magazine and she completely nailed it! She is flexible and will work with your schedule to get you the results you want by the deadline that you need them. And . . . she's great conversation and super sweet. You really can't get any luckier if you end up in her chair!— C.L

I would like to commend this salon for the positive experience that I had when I came for a haircut and color touch-up.The hair stylist Simaria, who also happens to be the store manager, provided excellent service. I have been a long time customer of hers, when she was manager at the Irving location.I now live in Dallas but will travel as far as South Lake to receive the same quality of service. I have received many compliments for the past four years she has been coloring my hair. I would highly recommend Simaria to anyone who is looking for high quality results, consistency and professionalism.— Eva S.

 

Simaria has been my stylist for close to 2 years now. I have never received more compliments on my hair. Not only does Simaria do an excellent and consistent job on my cut every visit, she is great at working with me and making product recommendations to get my hair in great, healthy shape. I would highly recommend Simaria!— Tara C.
