Gavin Rocks!!!!

by robyn1234

I've been to several hair salons in San Antonio, mainly different Aveda salons. I've just had "ok" experiences. The problem with "ok" is when you?re paying a lot to have your hair done; you want to walk out of a salon feeling fresh and beautiful. That is not too much to ask for. My husband started going to SLS and used Gavin. He thought he did an incredible job. He's recommended me going to Gavin for a while now. I've never had a male do highlights or haircutting before and what does my husband really know about hair anyway? So I never took his recommendation. BIG MISTAKE. I finally got fed up with the high price of "ok" haircuts and highlights that I decided to give Gavin a chance. He is so attentive to his craft. He began by taking five minutes to just look at my hair to figure out the layering and texture so that he could assess what would be the best approach. I also showed him pictures of what I like and don't like. He confidently knew exactly what to do with my hair. There were moments I felt like he was Mr. Miyagi and I was his bonsai tree. His highlights were brilliant and his haircut was amazing. All I can say is I walked out feeling hip, fresh, and beautiful. Some people say SLS is on the expensive side. It was less expensive than any Aveda salon I had been to in San Antonio and how can anyone put a price on perfection?

I have very curly hair and all my past hair cuts never seemed to work for me. It wasn?t until I was told about Melanie at Smooth line (She is the best person to visit for curly hair at Smooth line) I scheduled an appointment with her, she worked with me so well, she listened to what I wanted, She was so adorable and relatable and she was so friendly, she washed and cut and the styled my hair. she gave me the best professional pointers and new hair style that fits me so well, everyone told me they love my hair cut, The price is expensive but the services is worth the price!!! She turned my old bad hair cut into something beautiful!!!

• Pros: Easy parking and friendly staff, professional service and modern styles, wonderful atmosphere very clean
• Cons: it was expensive but worth the price!!

Best Stylist I've Ever Had

by KaylaAlexis

I first met April at Smooth Lines Salon located in the Strand at Huebner and I-10 when I was unhappy with a hair color I received by another stylist at SLS. She went out of her way to satisfy me by correcting the situation and as a result I became her client, going on over a year now. April has a unique and creative approach to my overall hair; not just in the color, but making sure that all the components of my hair come together for me specifically. She is always friendly and customer-focused. April goes out of her way to ensure my satisfaction each time I need a service. I trust her, and only her, with my hair because she has never once disappointed me or rushed through the service. I would highly recommend April to anyone who has had a mishap with their hair or who would enjoy a stylist that goes above what is expected. I have also found the overall environment of SLS to be professional and friendly. You will never want to go to another salon once you've been at Smooth Lines Salon!

• Pros: Friendly environment and skilled stylist.
• Cons: None.
