Pure Salon

I usually wait a while after a haircut to see how I feel about the cut. Mostly because I’m very attached to my hair and have a deep fear of scheduling with someone new. Mind you, I have very long, thick, dark blond hair, and many stylists think this means you can just hack away.
Anyway, I had an appointment with Cassie. She’s new to Pure salon, and I’m so glad I ended up with her. She listened to what I wanted, reviewed everything with me, and offered great suggestions. I got a full head of highlights as well as a trim. She did an amazing job. I will be scheduling with her again.

I went to Pure today for the first time to fix a bad cut. My stylist, Cassie, was awesome! I have long hair and I was worried I would have to lose a lot of length to fix what I had! She listened to all of my concerns and I could not be happier with the results! Not to mention, she was SO personable and sweet! Definitely going back to see her again!

This place is not cheap — a wash, cut, and blow dry alone will run you $ 70 without a tip. However, you get what you pay for, and Darryl gave me what is easily the best haircut I’ve gotten in the US.
I called to make an appointment late last night, since I had just left a terrible salon farther north on MacArthur where the butcher (I can’t even call her a stylist) hacked of 6 inches of hair (for a TRIM) and left me with a lopsized trapezoid on my head.
Enter Darryl, who I learned later normally books up weeks in advance and trains most of the other stylists who work here. As soon as I entered, the receptionist introduced me and he got me a glass of water. He examined my hair to figure out what the previous person had done, and showed me what went wrong and what he would do to fix it. He both knew exactly what he was doing and took joy in explaining it to me I told him I wanted to keep as much length as possible, but needed it relayered and angled. I also mentioned I wanted something low-​maintenance, where I could just run my hands through it and be ready to go. He told me I was in good hands.
Darryl absolutely delivered. Not only did I come out with about the same length hair as I walked in with (as requested), but it falls beautifully and frames my face nicely. The layers are even and slightly U-​shaped in the back, and everything is long enough that I can still tie it up easily.
I am so relieved that I’ll never need to risk a terrible cut in DFW again, thanks to Pure Salon and Darryl!

I’m a travel nurse so I always have to make the big decision of who will I trust my hair with this time. I randomly chose pure salon. They were very friendly and helpful when I called. I was set up with Kinsey on a day and time that worked well for me. I arrived to the salon (of course nervous because it’s my hair) and was greeted immediately by a friendly face. Kinsey was great! I wanted something different, showed her some pictures and after answering her questions I ended up with hair I love! Haven’t been this happy in a long time! She was great, my hair looks good and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this salon and hope to visit her again before I leave the Dallas area.

This place is amazing! I couldn’t find someone who understood my crazy hair. People that know me, know that I’m super picky about how it’s cut and so on – And then I met Kara at this salon! She is amazing and I’m definitely going back! Most of all this salon has great customer service!

I am very very sensitive about my hair and took a risk with this new salon. I was booked with Kara, and she was fantastic. I wanted a blunt bob, which involved taking off 6 inches (super scary!) and fresh highlights. She did exactly what I wanted and the color was perfect. Now, it has been 2 months, and it’s growing out nicely. She is skilled and very warm– a great combo. I highly recommend her to all those who are looking for a good stylist.

Daryl… you are just great! Got an amazing Hair cut.

Used to be great. Downhill in the past 2 – 3 years. Stylist turnover very high

So I don’t typically enjoy going to a salon. Mainly because my attempts at small talk with my stylist can make things awkward real fast (I’m just not good at it, guys). But I absolutely love going to Pure Salon! This is the first place I’ve been to that massages my hands and arms while I’m getting my hair washed. Heck yeah, it’s great. And I love Kara! She’s so fun and she always makes my hair look so good. I’ve definitely found my salon. You should make it your salon too.

Couldn’t get past the rude receptionist that answered the phone. Might consider a friendly and warm gate-​keeper for first impressions.

So I have been looking for a hair salon for a while and finally found it. I booked my appt. Online and it was super smooth. The service was fast once I reached and the cut was perfect. I had a good and relaxed time there and Sanya was amazing. Will definitely recommend it and go there again

Love going to Pure for my hair! Ciara is fantastic, young, hip and fun. I look forward to my appointment for days knowing I will leave looking great, but more importantly FEELING great! The scalp and hand massage are a bonus that make my time «in the chair» even more enjoyable. The original reason for selecting Pure Salon was because they are an Aveda salon, but Ciara and the other staff have given me more reasons to continue going there.

I never write reviews but this time I REALLY had to because my experience was not a good one. The stylist wasn’t nice and welcoming, which i never really thought mattered but seeing how bad her customer services was, i really think it does.
When I first sat down and explained what I wanted, she seemed as though she understood. but when she started cutting my hair (which I think was the first time she held scissors) I realized she has no idea what I’m talking about. She kept making excuses why she couldn’t give me what I was asking for — which was more layers.
She was very new at being a stylist, the way she held herself and talked, it all yelled that she didn’t know what was going on. I looked around to the other older stylists who seemed comfortable doing what they do. I automatically wished I had booked an appointment with a more experienced stylist (i think that costs more). The more experienced stylists were more talkative and they were making suggestions on how you should cut your hair.
This lady that was cutting my hair was quiet, awkward and didn’t know what was going on. I still think 50 bucks is overpriced for a newbie. I am definitely NOT going back to this salon. Supercuts is right next door guys, all stylist cost the same and they know what they are doing! That is where I will be going next.

As a first time visitor to Pure Salon, I was very happy with my experience. I have lived down the street from the salon for years, but have always trekked all the way to Fort Worth to see my stylist. My stylist unfortunately stopped seeing clients, so I decided to look for one closer to home.
Luckily, Pure Salon was the first one I tried. The customer service provided was great. I was greeted immediately upon arrival and offered a beverage. They were actually having a charitable baking contest, so I also got to try a few goodies while I was there. It was good to know that the staff are not only gifted stylists, but know how to make pretty delicious treats too!
Alisha was my stylist and she did a great job identifying exactly what it was that I was looking for. I was in for just a highlight, but she spent several minutes asking questions about what colors I normally prefer before making the color choices.
She was very pleasant and refilled my drink while I processed. The hand massage was a nice touch and the lotion that was used was amazing. The highlights turned out really nicely and Alisha spent time explaining all the products that were used while she styled my hair. Will definitely be returning!

I think I’ve found my new salon! I came to them to get my hair redone that my now previous hair stylist completely messed up! I was set up with Taylor and she’s absolutely fantastic, but I’m saddened that she will be leaving in two weeks. However, the rest of the staff are great as well!

Color correction will run you 300 dollars. I almost cried when I got the bill… I felt so ripped off. I should have refused to pay it, but I didn’t want them like calling the police on me or something. I could have run a little 10 volume developer through my hair and re colored it at home. It’s not costly or that difficult. Needless to say I was pissed that they never mentioned the price… I guess I was the stupid one for thinking that it wouldn’t cost 300 dollars. Also the color that they dyed it… A reddish brown washed out in 3 days. It stained the shower curtains too beyond all repair and my pillow. Horrible hair experience. The worst I have ever had in my life.
The owner of the salon messaged me and basically told me: Well, we price according to how much color you need, and didn’t even apologize. Really lady? You can’t tell me your color costs 300 dollars and my hair is barely past my shoulders. They didn’t even spend an hour doing my hair… So don’t even start. She should be trying to make it right, not saying «well basically I own this salon and don’t give a fuck.»

I have been going to Pure Salon since June of 2014. I went on a recommendation for getting my bridal makeup and hair done. Unfortunately the lady who had been recommended was no longer working there, but I ended up getting Alisha, who is absolutely amazing! She was so sweet and so helpful, and even helped me while I looked through my binder full of hair and make up looks. Due to scheduling circumstances, she was unable to do my bridal hair and makeup, but was still able to cut and style my hair, and I always look amazing! She is so nice, answers any questions you have about your hair, and is always there to lend an ear! :) The best part?! She gives me a hug on the way out! I pay more than I ever have for a haircut and style, but Alisha has always been worth it! I love going to her and the excellent service that the rest of the staff shows! :)

I made an appointment at Pure, despite recommendations from friends for other stylists, because I was short on time and the recommended were already booked, and figured supporting a local business is always a plus. I guess the old addage «beggars can’t be choosers» applied that day. Reviews seemed generally positive, so I thought «hey– what the heck?»
In short: Ultimately, my main goal of cutting enough off to donate to Locks of Love and freshening up my look was achieved, but I wasn’t impressed enough to return (at least not to the stylist I saw).
In long: When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly woman at the counter. Unfortunately, I was also greeted by country pop music over the sound system. I know this is Texas and all, but seriously? At a so-​called «spa»?? Not relaxing or classy at all, if songs that include the words «redneck», «my boyfriend», and «Jesus» in the lyrics of a single song, backed up by steel guitar and autotune turn you off…
My stylist greeted me with reluctant energy. Was she apathetic, or just introverted? Neither are particularly strong personality traits for a hairdresser, but I went with introverted because that seemed more optimistic. As the stylist and I had our consultation, I requested long layers and to cut off enough to donate, but not much more other than what was needed to shape it. I don’t use product. I don’t blow-​dry or style my hair. I don’t even create a part when I brush my hair. It has a little natural wave that likes to go different random directions, but that’s what the layers are for. Should be pretty simple, right? She touched a spot on my back and said «this is where it will be if we cut about 12 inches,» and it came to the bottoms of my shoulder blades, so I said «great!» She ponytailed it into 2 sections and cut off the Locks of Love donations. Ta-​da!
Over we went to the washing station. The wash was fine. Nothing too memorable. They use Aveda products, so it smells nice. They also give a hand and arm massage while the conditioner soaks in. I didn’t love it. In the middle of my hair being rinsed, someone changed the music station, so that immediately improved the situation.
After the wash, the cut began. She says to me «you have some natural curl to your hair» (didn’t we go over this already?). «Yes,» I replied, «that’s why I like to have layers and keep it below my shoulders. Otherwise it poofs out into a mushroom shape,». She had a bit of a confused or concerned look on her face… I think she realized she had started trimming my hair too short. Turns out she cut off about 4 inches more than she’d indicated earlier. Oh well, it was still just below the shoulders, and it grows back, right?
She asked me where I part my hair. «Wherever it falls. I flip it back and forth and don’t really keep it parted.»
«Which side do you want me to part it on?»
«I don’t care. How about the left?» I replied, never considering she would take this to mean until my next haircut & style (which I only realized *after* I tried to flip it later that day and the hair was uneven).
Then she asked me about what products I use. «None. I just wash and go.» I
«Do you usually blow-​dry it?» she asked. «Only in the winter when it’s really cold,» was my reply. She proceeded to load it with product and blow-​dry it super straight. «Whatever,» I thought. It’ll be fine after I wash it later… Except then she informed me that this particular product builds up to help keep your hair straight the more you use it. I freaked out a little on the inside, having never told her I wanted straightened hair, but continued to tell myself I could wash it at home. «Do you want me to flat iron it for you too?» she asked. «Um– no!» was my reply. She seemed a little hurt and confused…
My hair looked pretty cute, even if it was nowhere near how I’d ever style it at home. Mission accomplished (mostly).
As she walked me out, she showed me where to find the product she put in my hair. I thanked her and asked if they also make a product that holds natural curl. Again she looked so confused, but she pointed it out as well. I told her I’d keep it in mind, but wanted to see how it went with my regular wash & go routine first, and bid adieu.
I washed my hair the next morning, and it was still incredibly limp. Thank goodness for ponytail holders… After 4 or 5 washes, I finally felt like my hair was back to its normal slightly wavy texture. As my hair has started to grow back out, there isn’t much definition between the layers, so am still going to have to go somewhere else to define them a bit more. I just need to remember to plan my appointment in advance this time…

I wanted to give better review because stylest was super nice but my cut was not so good. The back is uneven as friends and family pointed out to me and now that its been two days I can tell just by feeling it. Stylist was young so maybe not as experienced or maybe because I was last client of the day. I dont know but not happy. Could went to supercuts and they would of done just as well.

My stylist moved and I needed a new one. A friend told me about Daryl at Pure Salon but when I tried to schedule he was booked up for the next month on Saturdays so they recommended Alisha for my long black hair. She was amazing! Amazing!
Lets start with the salon… greeted and offered a beverage. They actually have really good coffee. Didn’t have to wait long for Alisha before she took me back to her chair to talk about my expectations. Got a neck and scalp massage with a conditioning oil then headed to wash my hair. While there, I also received a hand and arm massage. BONUS! They use all Aveda products here and they smell great!
Now onto Alisha… she was friendly, talented and trained by the famous Daryl I’ve heard so many great things about. She took her time on my hair and it turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it. The cut looks awesome and she even worked her magic to give me those sexy flat iron curls that spiral down my back! She talked me through all the products she used so I always knew what she was doing. I was a biology/​chemistry major in college and noticed by some of the things she said that she has a strong knowledge of the science behind hair and hair products. I’m impressed and will be back. I would refer everyone I know to this salon (as long as it doesn’t interfere with me getting an appointment when I need one– haha)!! Thanks Alisha! Great to finally meet you too Daryl!
