How does it work?

It’s far superior to a simple email request. When you visit Kharismahair.com and click on the “Request Your Appointment” icon on the left-hand sidebar (or below), you’ll be presented with a full compliment of scheduling choices. Once submitted, the information is routed directly into Kharisma’s scheduling software for review and confirmation.

Now you can request appointments quickly and easily — for hair cuts, hair styling, high color, balayage, you name it — whether during Kharisma’s normal operating hours or at midnight on Saturday night! While our old, email-based contact form served our clients well, information still had to be reviewed, transferred to and compared with the information in our scheduling system — and that took time and left room for human error. Not good enough for Kharisma or, more importantly, you — our valued customers.

We hope you enjoy and make use of our new system. As always, Kharisma is committed to ongoing investment in ways to better serve you!

But there’s a problem. How can you determine if glowing reviews are written by business employees, family, or friends? And how can you be sure bad reviews aren’t written by competitors? In fact, how can you know any review has been written by someone that has actually patronized a given business? Unfortunately, in most cases, you can’t.

Kharisma searched for — and found — an answer. We now proudly use Demandforce™ Inc., to certify that all reviews with their seal are from actual Kharisma clients. Demandforce ties into our scheduling system – and only displays their certification seal next to reviews verified to be from genuine, paying, Kharisma customers.

No more guessing whether or not reviews are from genuine clients!

He learned much about oil-based cleansers, and how they often work where other cleansers falter, such as removing the thick, movie makeup that he applied in his job.

Shu Uemura’s now applied his knowledge to Cleansing Oil Shampoo, an oil-based ‘concoction’ that cleanses the scalp and removes product buildup — all without stripping the hair of natural oils.  And, unlike some oil-based cleansers, Cleansing Oil Shampoo produces a rich, foaming lather.

The formula is silicone-free, and enriched with a purifying agent called “Onsen Inspired Ferment,” sourced from volcanic hot springs.  The result is a light bodied shampoo that won’t weigh down even the finest hair.

For those with dryer scalps and thicker hair, alternate Cleansing Oil Shampoo with your regular shampoo.  You’ll enjoy exceptionally clean hair and thorough removal of product buildup.

Ask your Kharisma stylist or colorist about Shu Uemura products that would benefit your hair type, texture and style.

There’s no denying it: Red heads garner attention.  Have you ever seen a shiny, silky, gorgeous head of red hair and thought to yourself that such a color couldn’t possible look right on you?

In truth, the variety of red hues — and combinations of hues — enable almost anyone to take the plunge and become an ever-so-dangerous red head!   The celeb world embraced red – and it seems to work beautifully for all them.  The secret?  Employing precise red tones to complement and enhance your skin tone.

This may sound simple in theory.  Coloring hair, however, is far more complicated than mixing paint and dabbing it on canvas.  Achieving stunning results isn’t just about the color formula, it’s about knowing how those formulas work on various natural hair colors and types — and how to combine hues and shades within the hair to portray luster, volume and gloss.

If you’re considering “walking the red line,” we urge you to consult with one of Kharisma’s hair coloring professionals.   Our colorists are experts at determining whether warmer or cooler tones are right for your skin tone.  We’ll consider the wonderful range of reds: Chestnut, nutmeg, iced auburn (on the cooler end of the spectrum) to warmer hues like ruby slippers, marmalade and chianti.  The names alone evoke emotion.  Simply put, red is hot, unique, and ever so chic.

We think one of the most compelling aspects of red hair is that, indoors or out, it conveys a sense of “bathing in sun beams.”   As Houston’s hot, sultry weather rejoins us, why not generate a little steam of your own?  Visit Kharisma Hair Studio soon and investigate all that red has to offer.

Nioxin’s thinning hair system kits consist of three elements: Cleansing, Optimization, and Treatment. These three steps work together to nourish your scalp and give you thicker, visibly denser hair.

Exposure to the sun, wind, and pollutants is rough on hair. We see it every day here at the salon: color fading, dryness, cuticle separation — in short, hair that’s simply lost it’s luster. Fortunately, we’ve found Nioxin.

The 3-step process:

• Nioxin’s Clarifying Cleanser:  Removes stubborn, unwanted chemicals and substances, including oil, chlorine, and salt.
• Nioxin’s Silk Elixir: Hair is porous.  Nioxin’s leave-in conditioner hydrates your hair before trips to beach or pool.
• Nioxin’s Scalp Recovery: Designed to relieve scalp-related problems, including seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. Restoring moisture balance relieves irritated, itchy, flaking scalp.

Before you buy Nioxin, note that The Nioxin line is specialized for different hair textures and types, It’s important to match the Nioxin system to your hair type. Your Kharisma stylist, colorist, or anyone on the Kharisma staff will be happy to formulate the correct Nioxin system for you.
