Hi....
Welcome to Dallas! Yes..home of HB.com.
I have lived in Dallas for 20 years and I adore it here (I don't even mind the hot summers). I am a 100% Naturalized Texan.
If you want great hair.......you have come to the right city. The only other places that I would want to live for great hair is LA (where my friend celeb stylist Ken Paves reigns) or NYC where celeb colorists & stylists Rita Hazan and Louise O'Connor are at the chic new Adir Salon.
My disclaimer: I do not personally recommend any of the following salons (except 17 listed at the bottom) since I have not personally gone to any.
I have heard lots about many of them from my friends and I have read about them in various Dallas mags. However, if you go, please know you are going at your own risk and don't email me to tell me I sent you to a bad hair experience. :-)
Also, if you would mind...I would love to have your feedback...positive or negative so I can keep it in mind for future lists.

They also have Joe - a fabulous manicurist/pedicurist and some great massage & facial people.
