Malibu Beauty Studio - Richmond (TX)

5 /5 Kaylie Manzano: Had a consultation with Cami and she was very sweet and informative. she listened to all my concerns and answered all of my questions. so excited to get my extensions with her! Edit after getting hair extensions with Cami; Cami is truly amazing!! She matched my hair perfectly, down to the curl and color. I am so beyond happy to have found her! Everyone kept saying how much my hair grew and they were shocked when i said they were extensions! I love this hair so much and Cami gave me a great experience. She’s so sweet, will definitely recommend her to everyone!

5 /5 Hadel Gadrab: I visited here for a facial with Bianca, and Im so happy I did! Her customer service was outstanding. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in such a clear and helpful way, guiding me through the process of choosing the best treatment for my needs. The private space was also a huge plus for me as a hijabi. I’ll definitely be coming back!

5 /5 Hamida Mitha: I had the most amazing experience here. This was the first time dying my hair and I booked with Cassie who is also an owner of the salon! She was so kind and generous when I requested my religious accommodations and she made me feel welcome, heard, and at the end… so beautiful! I got balayage and a cut and she was efficient, communicative, and creative. I have to say, I was so nervous about dying my hair because I was afraid of bleach, harmful chemicals, etc and it’s been a couple weeks and my hair actually feels MORE healthy than it did before! I wear the headscarf and can’t post pictures of my hair but genuinely, my family and friends were commenting on how the texture of my hair looked healthier. Thank you thank you thank you Cassie!! I’m a born Houstonian and now based in Chicago but will definitely be flying back to Houston for my hair needs! Super cool that the salon is actually a beauty co-op and there’s a crew of independent professionals that work there! Unique business model and I’m happy to support a local female owned movement! I also want to address a review left here by a customer who said that she received a bad coloring. I spoke to Cassie who actually said she refunded her for her hair when she first complained and the woman still left a review to disparage her, despite the fact that her hair didn’t actually sustain any damage that Cassie saw or knew of. I just met Cassie but her reaction, willingness to serve the customer, and then still leaving a neutral response to the review just shows the type of kind person she is.

5 /5 Sarah Muwafaq: I’ve been going to Cassie for over four years now, and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my hair! She is incredibly talented, always listens to what I want, and somehow makes it even better than I envisioned. Whether it’s a simple trim or a big change, she consistently delivers amazing results. Beyond her skills, she’s kind, professional, and truly cares about her clients. If you’re looking for a stylist who will make you feel confident and leave you loving your hair every time, Cassie is the one!

1 /5 Danielle: Chemical haircut. First picture is for reference of what my hair looked like two days before. My regular salon canceled last minute and I ended up here. Been crying on and off over the last week while I continuously lose my hair. Made worse by the fact that Cassie blamed me and my hair and sensitive scalp when I showed her what was happening instead of apologizing and admitting to over processing me. My hair is not being lost from the scalp. It’s mostly breaking where bleach overlapped. I was a hair dresser for several years and I’ve been blonde for 12 years. I only bleach retouch my hair once every three months. Some minor breakage? Sure. That goes with the territory. But I have NEVER had one issue with my hair being literally fried off or falling off in clumps. My hair still smells like chemicals a week later. During the course of five hours: My hair was bleached, shampooed, toned, shampooed, smudge root, shampooed, blow dried..When I looked in the mirror my roots were legitimately muddy grey/purple. I started shaking/tearing up and immediately said I wanted out of the chair. After going back and forth with her for several minutes she swore she could fix it..so I stayed. She then foiled and bleached it more, shampooed, toned, shampooed, smudge root, shampooed, and blow dried again. Stripped of any natural oils and over processed to hell. I believe the developer used to tone was too high as my hair is fried from root to end and when it was being applied all I could smell was ammonia/chemical. Unless she used a color stripper to get that awful mud color off of my root. Toner usually smells nice like conditioner and has very low lifting effect. After this second process my root was still super light and washed out looking. I was unhappy and she offered to make it darker…meaning she legitimately would have processed it again if I hadn’t declined. So I left..Getting it fixed the next day at my regular salon where they used deposit only color as to not cause further damage. Where they found orange bleed marks, from bleach not being washed out all the way, all over the back of my head that they had to cover up. Please do not go here for blonding until she gets more education. You cannot process hair like that and expect not to have considerable damage. You cannot process hair like that and then blame a clients blonde hair or scalp as the issue. Stripping it of all natural oils, applying chemicals over and over and over, applying heat twice, overlapping bleach. Even if your hair can take it…it shouldn’t. You are getting way more damage than is necessary. I should have got up and walked out. I knew better but I liked her as a person and felt bad for not giving her a chance to make things right. I kept talking myself out of it just like she did. I’m going to regret that every time I look in the mirror for the next couple years trying to grow out this disaster. At the very least a simple apology would have went a hell of a long way with something as absolutely devastating as this. But instead I only got refunded half of the service cost and an attempt at trying to convince me this was my fault.
