There’s a specific kind of magic in finding a stylist who just gets it, and in Mesquite, that magic is apparently thriving. We’re talking about a town where you can grab a brisket taco at a gas station and then walk into a salon that feels like a Dallas high-rise, so the range here is genuinely wild.

From the twenty-year trust of Hair Affair to the rough, careless braiding we endured at SBR Salon Suites (our scalp still hurts), the spectrum is vast. We’ve checked the blowouts, the barbers, the colorists, and even a nail bar that gets the details right.

So, get your hair off your neck and dive into the list.

SBR Salon Suites - (bundles/wigz/collection)

Highlights
Poor customer service
Unsanitary, cramped workspaces
Rough, careless braiding techniques
Ignored client requests
Unprofessional behavior throughout

SBR Salon Suites, specifically the bundles/wigz/collection area, was a disappointing experience. The customer service was poor, honestly, I felt like I was bothering them just by being there. The workspace was unsanitary and cramped, which made me uncomfortable. The braiding technique was rough and careless, pulling at my scalp in a way that was painful. I asked for a specific style and they ignored my requests entirely. It was unprofessional throughout, from start to finish. I left with a hairstyle I didn't want and a bad taste in my mouth. I cannot recommend this place, which is a shame because the concept had potential.
