I called ahead to see if they had someone who is a wiz at cutting fine straight hair with a razor and I thought I would get my semipermanent color freshened up too. They insisted on doing my color first and I told the colorist I didnt want to do the roots (I want my few grey hairs to show) just color the bleached, faded-color ends to match them. Well, before I knew it shed slathered my roots with color and tried to make it okay by pointing out it was only semipermanent. I also had two small strips of purple which she foiled (no bleaching, just a second semipermanent color). Then the stylist turned out to be EXTREMELY young and to have kinky-curly hair texture herself, which made me a little doubtful that she could razor cut my fine, stick-straight hair. She barely glanced at the photo I showed her and didnt touch my hair at all before it was wet. On talking about it with her, she seemed completely not confident about it, and said some things about how shed do it that told me she had no idea how straight, thick, baby-fine hair acts. She finally admitted that she had never razor cut fine straight hair before and I complained to the manager, who tried to convince me that she knew what she was doing and I didnt need a razor cut anyway (Ive had this exact same haircut 3 times). Finally he told her just to blow it dry and let me go. Sticker shock at the counter! $135 for a semipermanent color and redoing two small foils! I was so disappointed and felt like I had been ripped off and gotten almost nothing for my money.

I visited Aalam this morning and I am glad I did! I have a few trouble spots in my hair that never seem to lay right and Johnnie took care of them without any problems. The staff is friendly and professional and provided excellent service. I felt right at home in the salon and felt like they really valued my business. They even brought me my morning coffee which is always a nice perk. The salon decor is unique, fresh and inviting and both the waiting area chairs and the styling chairs are really comfortable. (I am not sure if that is important to many people, but I really noticed!) My experience with independently-owned salons has been a pretty much hit or miss in the past, but not at Aalam. It is a complete hit in my book. If you are in the market for an excellent stylist in a great salon, you cannot go wrong at Aalam. I am looking forward to my next appointment with Johnnie! Check out this salon. You will be glad you did!

Great Haircuts and Horrible Hair Color. I will never get my hair colored here again. I left the salon looking like a freak. Everyone at the salon said my hair looked great (yeah right). I thought it did too until I got home and really looked at my hair. I have really dark brown hair and the lady applied very light highlights to the back part of my hair. I told her I wanted them all over my hair and I didnt think it would come out so light. She should have known since my hair is dark. Needless to say I looked like a skunk. I called back upset and they said that I could go back in to get my hair corrected however the lady that colored my hair wouldnt be available for the entire week until the next weekend. I had to go to work like this. I decided not to go back at all. After all of this and spending almost $300, I have decided not to return and to try out some other salon next time.

AALAM is one of a handful of salons nominated in Best of BIg D 2010. I have tricky hair to cut and crave low-maintenance style, and Mansour cuts my hair perfectly. It grows out beautifully and all I have to do is wash and go. When I do style it my hair looks trendy, sexy, and pretty. I have had him cut my hair for years and passed his name on to my friends and relatives because I know they wont be disappointed in his work. I think the true testament to a good haircut is how well/ gracefully it grows out because it extends the life of the cut, especially if you have bangs and prevents bad hair days. I give Aalam the Salon an A+. I have cowlicks and coarse hair, but the way Mansour cuts it, you would never know.

The service and staff are very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, my hairstylist was unable to straighten my curly hair to my liking. I recognize curly hair can be difficult to work with but after my hairstylist finished straightening my hair, it was still big, frizzy, and had curls in some places here and there. I ended up leaving without a haircut and going home to straighten my own hair as I was not satisfied. It could be that coming to Aalam for haircuts if you have curly hair would not be the best option though again everyone was kind.

I am a dark blonde, I have always been blonde, although many places have struggled with getting the color correct. A colorist at a salon in Dallas accidentally turned my hair brown. I waited a few months and by this time the brown had washed out into red brassy hideous color. Going to Aalam was a gamble I could not be happier I took. Zuzana was amazing, she got my hair the exact right color the first try. She was sweet and awesome to talk to. Im not one to rant and rave about much but I will be a client of hers forever.

Loved my experience at the Aalam Salon! Lindsay was AHMAAAZING! She catered to my every need and gave me a cut and style EXACTLY like I wanted. Yes its a little pricey but its worth every penny. I wanted to purchase some hair products she used on me but since Im allergic to a million things (personal problem) I couldnt buy any of it and Lindsay wasnt pushy or showed any form of annoyance. She is the sweetest!! I will be coming again and again

Impressed I was truly impressed by the location and the wonderful staff. I attended my cousins wedding on july 10 (it was celebrity affair). Everyone was very professional and courteous. I have never been impressed so much before. I look forward to returning. Keep up the terrific work. Very clean, fantastic view, Great location and customer service. The free breakfast and dinner food was very good, not cheap at all. Definitely recommended.

I’ve had many different hair cuts, and tried out many different stylists, but always always dreaded going to my next hair appointment. It often felt like a gamble, because the outcome just couldn’t be predicted, even if I brought a picture. Well, I found Aalam The Salon, and my worries are over! Naser cut my hair beautifully! He combines a light touch with precision and passion for quality. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Im 40 something, and this is absolutely the best haircut I have EVER had. The salon is beautiful and super clean. All the employees are gracious and acknowledge you. Go to Mansour. You will NOT regret your decision!!!! A++++++++++
