id=\"The_bungalow_salon_of_the_Houston_Heights\"><\/span>The bungalow salon of the Houston Heights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Shine in the Heights began in 2006 when its founder spotted a white bungalow with French doors and big windows on Eleventh Street and decided the light was too good to pass up. It opened with two chairs and grew to seven; nearly two decades on it is a full-service salon that stayed woman-owned and kept the house feel that first drew people in.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Services\"><\/span>Services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The salon handles cuts and styling for men, women, and children, and leans into current color &mdash; balayage, baby lights, dimensional blonding, and gloss and gray coverage. Also on the menu are extensions, chemical and conditioning treatments, and makeup application, so a bridal party can get color, styling, and finishing under one roof.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technology_and_brands\"><\/span>Technology and brands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The color and care lines run on L&#8217;Oreal, Redken, and Pureology &mdash; a professional lineup chosen for reliable color performance and sulfate-free maintenance that protects freshly lightened hair. Deep conditioning and gloss treatments are used to keep color fresh between visits, and stations and tools are sanitized between guests.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Team_and_stylists\"><\/span>Team and stylists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The salon was founded and is still owned and operated by Cherryl Gryder, who started with a single apprentice and built a team that now spans more than thirty across the two neighboring Heights locations. The staff is known for consultation-first service and for taking time with new guests rather than rushing the chair.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space\"><\/span>The Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the original location, and the bungalow is the whole mood: French doors, large windows, and natural light that makes color easier to read in the mirror. Guests describe it as cute and cozy, clean and modern at once &mdash; small enough that service feels one-on-one, but busy enough to feel alive.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_its_for\"><\/span>Who it&#8217;s for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Made for Heights locals who want a neighborhood salon rather than a chain, color clients after a natural, lived-in result, and anyone who values an unhurried, personal appointment. Bridal parties and guests bringing the whole family fit easily here.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_and_answers\"><\/span>Questions and answers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Can I book online?<\/strong> Yes &mdash; online booking runs through the salon&#8217;s scheduling system, with phone booking also available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does an appointment take?<\/strong> A cut and style is about an hour; balayage or dimensional color with a blowout usually runs two to four hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you cut men&#8217;s and children&#8217;s hair?<\/strong> Yes &mdash; the salon serves men, women, and children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I combine services in one visit?<\/strong> Yes, color with a conditioning treatment and a finishing style is common; makeup can be added for events. Mention it at booking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you offer gift certificates?<\/strong> Yes, gift certificates are available and make an easy present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_hours\"><\/span>Opening hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th>Hours<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>Closed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20097:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20097:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20097:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<td>10:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20096:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20095:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>Closed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"entity-gallery\" class=\"padrino-entity-gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos\"><\/span>Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.houstonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/07\/shine-in-the-heights-houston-1.jpg\" alt=\"Shine in the Heights\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.houstonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/07\/shine-in-the-heights-houston-2.jpg\" alt=\"Shine in the Heights\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.houstonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/07\/shine-in-the-heights-houston-3.jpg\" alt=\"Shine in the Heights\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.houstonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/07\/shine-in-the-heights-houston-4.jpg\" alt=\"Shine in the Heights\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.houstonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/07\/shine-in-the-heights-houston-5.jpg\" alt=\"Shine in the Heights\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"comments\" class=\"comments-area wp-block-group\">\n<h2 class=\"comments-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visitor_reviews\"><\/span>Visitor reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"comment-list\">\n<li id=\"comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\">\n<b class=\"fn\"><span>Elaine Cogburn<\/span><\/b>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\">\n11 June 2026<br \/>\n \u00b7 <span>\u2605 10.0\/10<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Finding a new salon in a new city is such a struggle!
