Hair by Amburlee

Finally I’ve found a stylist who has vision! When I’m feeling like a change and ask other hairdressers for inspiration, their usual response is «what would YOU like me to do with your hair?»… Not Amburlee, without hesitation she said, short, curly and burgundy highlights! To have someone who not only knows what you need but to get excited about it, made the transition for me easier. Amburlee did ask questions about my routine to gain a better idea on how much styling we’d need for my new cut and how much more effort I’d be willing to put forth. This is the most I’ve spent n my hair but the outcome was worth it! It has taken me almost 3 weeks of playing with my hair (since I only wash it 2 – 3 times/​wk), to see what products I already have that I can use. It’s been fun experimenting, my cut is so versitile it allows me to change it up! Overall I love it’s wash & wear look, quick and easy. My husband’s comment about my new hairstyle was «stylish & modern»…this is from a typical guy who does not read fashion magazines, so you know Amburlee is Awesome! 2016 will be the year of Amburlee for me! :)

Met Amburlee at a local venue and started chatting with her about my hair. We were dying my hair pink 30 min later. Took a total leap of faith because she made me feel comfortable right from the start and I loved the results. Her salon is gorgeous and she treats you like a princess from start to end. Definitely knew what she was doing and even gave me great tips for how to care for my new care.

I discovered Amburlee last Fall when looking for someone new to do my hair. Not only did she update my look, but my hair feels like silk and is so bouncy and healthy looking every time I leave! She now does my highlights as well, with wonderful results. Both my children get haircuts with her and she also does a beautiful job with her makeup services. Personally, she is kind, funny, thoughtful and so very honest! A few times I overpaid her as I chose the wrong option on the website for my appointment and she quickly let me know and gave me a credit. Her salon in Mélange is quaint, inviting and peaceful. Amburlee is wonderful person, friend, hairstylist and makeup artist. You will be very pleased!
You can book her online at
and she is even offering free back to school haircuts for children in August.

Before my appointment with Amburlee this month, I hadn’t been to a professional stylist in years (like at least 9)! And since going «natural» and having extremely curly hair, I’m very wary about who I let handle my hair for fear of all the possible horrors.
When I decided I wanted a professional trim and color, my search led me to Amburlee and I’m so happy I found her! We met for a consultation where we talked about what I wanted done (color, trim and blowout), and she walked me through the best options for each process. She was mindful of my concerns about possible heat/​chemical damage and informed me of what would be best for me. I appreciate how knowledgeable and conscientious she is about the products and services she offers. I had full confidence that I was going to be a happy girl after my scheduled appointment.
When I came back for my hair appointment, the process went as Amburlee described and she made sure I was happy with the results along the way. I was absolutely ecstatic with everything:
–The color was exactly what I wanted. She took the time to make sure the tone and and placement were a good fit for me.
— The trim was perfect. My ends are nice and clean, and the shape is beautiful even now that my hair has gone curly again.
— The blowout looked AMAZING and Amburlee gave me helpful tips on how to maintain my style and keep my hair healthy.
And to top it all off, Amburlee’s sparkling personality and beautifully decorated studio made my experience that much better. I’ll definitely be back to see her and will recommend her every chance I get!

The worst customer experience. Late, rude, tried over charging. I saw all the high reviews & with a wedding/​baptism coming I was excited & got a groupon for an updo. I spoke to Amburlee in person before buying to verify availability & for a simple ballerina bun & makeup. I only had 1.5 hr for it too so I would be on a tight time. She said yes to simple bun especially with the groupon.
Come day of, she is 30 min. late, so i tell her to skip makeup. She is shocked asking why, i told her we would not make it with the time & I could do it at home. She smiles & tries to sell me other makeup prices to bring out just my eyes.
So I tell her the bun I want & she tells me my hair is too straight/​thin to do that type of bun… huh?! So i show her a pic where I had it done before. Then she asks what height for the bun. When i tell her she says «Why? That is so outdated.» At this point I am furious. She then took 40 min doing the bun, which left 20 min for makeup. She just put eye shadows and mascara. I had to ask her to put eyeliner and eyelashes because i looked like a ghost. She said she «normally does more like highlights, defining, but that requires time»…Well who’s fault is that? When done, the mascara kept smearing and she was annoyed I was closing my eyes?!
She told me she would give me a «discount» for being late. How nice right? The bill was $ 135 with discount. I told her about the groupon & she didn’t recall one & did not seem happy about it. She took away my «discount» & still tried over charging! After more time passing & finally the right amount I went to pay and she did not take credit cards… I told her I did not have change, only carried the wedding money. I handed her way over the amount since I didn’t have change, and she counted it and said that is good, said to enjoy and turned around! Didn’t even offer me change. At this point I was late and I was going to be late for my baby’s baptism if I stayed to get my change, so I stormed out. She She never even once apologized for being late. Horrible, horrible!!!

I love Amburlee! I am in the process of transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. My hair is now the healthiest it has been in years. This is all due to Amburlee. My hair is thicker and growing faster than ever before. She has made this process comfortable and easy. She also utilizes vegan and organic products which is important to me and my hair just loves it. I trust her completely with my hair and I have not been able to say that about any other stylist. I honestly didn’t know how lovely my natural texture was and now… I do.

I found interest in amberlee when I came across a groupon where it stated that she would style your hair for $ 35 dollars when is normally $ 85. I thought what a great deal!
I called the number provided in groupon just to make sure there were openings for the date I needed my hair done. I called the business and no one answered but the stylist called me right back. She did have an opening but she informed me that she doesn’t honor the groupon Friday, Saturday or Sunday because Is her busiest days. Thank goodness I didn’t buy the groupon and im glad I had called her before because the groupon didn’t say anything about not being honored on those days. After reading the Unilocal comments I figured I would still go with her they were all great reviews. Once I talked to her she requested for me to send her pics of my hair so she could know what she was working with. I told her over the phone that my hair was short and above shoulder length she said she would charge me 55 since it wasn’t long and made sure to let me know that she was being nice and giving me a discount which I was pleased. I send her a pick of my hair and the styles I wanted. This is where it went downhill she responded «btw your hair is longer than you said» and you don’t have enough hair to do those styles and then bashed every pic I send. I told her that it didn’t have to be exactly like the pics I just wanted and updo and volume and that curly wavy style from the pics. The rest of her reply were pretty snappy so I decided to not even respond back and just look for another stylist. After and hour or so she replied very kindly I guess she noticed that I didn’t respond and I figured since she started being nice I would just go with her I mean everyone has a bad day right? I made it to my appt and she seemed annoyed and snappy and she tried to make conversation but I could tell that she wasn’t in the mood because her face expression were not going along with what she was saying at that point I had gotten annoyed and just didn’t really tried to engage with her. She then said I had too Much hair and had to charge me normal price when in her messages she has said i didn’t have enough hair? She asked if that was ok… Well it had to I had a wedding to be at and I can’t pop up a new stylist in an hour can I? I told her «do whatever you want just make it look pretty and give me volume all around». I was disappointed she didn’t not give me volume all around my hair looked pretty from the back, she did a good job but when you saw it from the front it looked like a lose bun and a side bang all the pictures I looked like that. I ended paying her 78 dollars with 20% tip my hair style was definitely not worth that much and I will never go back to amberlee. I don’t know if she was having a bad day or she is just that snappy and unprofessional all
the time.

Amburlee is the best stylist i have ever met .she gave me the hair cut which i wanted. i have thin fine hair which needed some volume and amburlee has given me that! shes such an amazing friendly person :) she showed me what products she used and also gave wonderful tips for healthy hair. Shes going to be my permanent stylist and i am so lucky to have her near me. loved her work. thank you so much amburlee for the makeover: D

I had the BEST time today at my photo session where Amburlee was I charge of my transformation. Pictures speak loader than words… so check out my pictures.

Another success by Amburlee, I took my daughter last week to get her hair done and it was a very pleasant experience. Because of that session I went back and got my hair trimmed, my bangs cut and my hair colored. She did an amazing job. She made my hair feel great and I will continue to use her while I am in Houston. Fantastic job, see you next month!

I went to Hair by Ambulee to get Brazilian Blowout. The last time I went to get a Brazilian Blowout at a different salon, the stylist hid the products from me and when I noticed my hair was not turning out right, I asked her to show me what products she used in my hair, they were not the products we had agreed on prior to starting, but Amburlee showed me what products she used in my hair. I was very impress and at ease. Ambulee took her time to make sure my hair turned out perfect, and it did! The price was fantastic. I have a hair stylist now! She is awesome!!!

Hair By Amburlee…
One thing that sets this stylist apart from everyone else, is her establishing a relationship with your HAIR.
There is a difference between someone that just maintains hair, and one who cares for your hair.
I informed Amburlee of my concerns as well as my goals. She immediately got to work with solving the problem. It has not even been 6 months and my hair is growing FASTER than it ever has. It is so full of life, bounce, and shine.
My hair has developed her own personality… (DON’T JUDGE US)
You will not be disappointed in your private service either. I do not have to worry about waiting or sharing my space with others, the private Boutique is an added bonus!
I love my time away with Amburlee… YOU WILL TOO.

Amazing! The wife is extremely happy with amburlee. She is picky with who touches her hair like anyone in general and her experience was amazing. Very friendly great with her hair. She had ombré done and came out beautiful. One thing Amburlee said is that she is all about keeping the hair healthy which is amazing. Very professional very friendly and down to earth she is highly recommended!

Amburlee is the perfect blend of professionalism and personality. Not only was she great with my hair, but she also provided me with great service, timeliness and easily engaged in conversation. I would recommend anyone just because she’s very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She’s provided me with both hair and makeup and done a wonderful job. Five stars!!!

5 stars for 5 star service. I’ve had my hair styled by Amburlee several times but never colored. When I heard she opened up more centralized to my location I had to come check her out. I am blow away! Her suite reflects her warm and friendly personality. Her technique is flawless. She nailed coloring my hair and extensions perfectly. Not to mention my hair and extensions look way more healthier. Amburlee works magic.
I also really love the one on one service and customer experience that surpasses what you would get at a huge chain salon like Visible Changes.
I wholehearted recommend stopping by to see for yourself.

I have naturally course auburn hair and have always had a problem finding a hairstylist to make my hair light with a healthy shine. After my first appointment with Amburlee I was amazed at how bouncy and luscious my hair felt and looked. I’m not sure what she does or how she does it but my style stayed beautiful much longer than it did with other stylists. 12 years later I’m still a client! In addition to doing my hair she also styles both my daughters hair (now 19 and 12). On off weeks when we can’t make it to the shop she not only suggests styles but gives me tips on what to buy and how to recreate our styles at home though we never come close to doing it like she does. My daughters love going to Amburlee and so do I. Instead of just styling our hair she gives us tips on how to take care of it at home. Fantastic Stylist!!!

Amburlee is amazing! She was the first hairstylist to really understand and work with my hair’s natural texture. (I have very long and tight curls.) She helped me embrace my wonderful curls by teaching me styling techniques meant for curly hair, and suggested what products to avoid and which to seek out. She always gave me advice as to length and styling, but never pressured me into one particular style. I was so bummed when she left California. Houston is lucky to have her!

Amburlee is a fantastic hair stylist. Both my fiancée and I have short hair, and unfortunately, not every stylist knows how to create interesting and beautiful short hair looks.
When I first started going to Amburlee, my hair has slowly began to resemble a mullet. Amburlee discussed with me in detail of what look I wanted, and she did a fabulous job. After that first cut, I knew I had found a stylist who could cut my hair so it fit my personality and make me look great.
In addition to cutting my hair, Amburlee also color treated my hair several times, and it looked amazing! In short, Amburlee is one of those hair stylists you can go to over and over again, and she will consistently be able to give you a solid cut or a new look every time.

Amburlee did my hair for both my bridal portraits and the day of my wedding as well as my entire bridal parties hair. She knew exactly what I wanted by simply viewing a few pictures of ideas I had in mind and captured my vision for my hair as well as my wedding parties, perfectly. With 9 peoples hair to do on the day of my wedding she made record time and was able to finish everyones hair with a few hours to spare before the wedding. I’m so glad I chose and trusted Hair by Amburlee to make me feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day :)

Amburlee was my stylist in Willow Glen, CA, when she lived there around 2 years ago. I went to her many times before she moved away and I loved the way she loved doing hair. Not only is she personable and amiable, but she does great hair! My hair is very curly and hard to manage sometimes; and there was a time that my hair was falling out and I didn’t know what to do!!! Amburlee gave my hair body and volume with the style and made it easy for me to take care of it by myself! I miss her terribly. She lives in Texas and I live in Florida now, but I wish we were still in the same city… no one has done my hair like she did. Waaaah, miss her!!!
