Carmen Hair Salon

I moved to El Paso in January and have visited two other local hair stylists. One by referral and one I found online - both were terrible. I stumbled upon Carmen online last week and and decided I would give her a try. After the last two experiences I literally was ready to fly back to my hometown for a haircut if I didn't get a good one today - luckily I was happily surprised! It was easy to get an appointment, and the service I received was excellent! We spent about 5 minutes discussing my hair, what I wanted, what color length & style. I hadn't had a cut/color for 3 months bc my last cut was so terrible and I wanted enough to grow out so the next person could salvage it. I'm thankful I took a chance on this salon!! Carmen was wonderful, the color was just what I asked for and a little better than I expected. She gave perfect even highlights and natural looking as I asked. I love the cut, it's super cute and easy to style. I don't understand the people that said she doesn't know how to cut hair or listen - she was the first person in this town that actually did listen to me! She asked questions throughout the whole process to taylor the style and service to my needs. She did talk to me the whole time, but I don't see how that is a negative, isn't that what a hair dresser is supposed to do?? Overall, excellent cut. Worth the drive and I will be back! I'm glad I found her through google and not this site, if I had seen the reviews here I may never have gone and would have missed out on a good cut. Pros: Fast service, great hairdresser, good color, will be back!! Cons: Not close enough to my house more

whatever you haters got to say about my hairdresser say to her face !!!!!!! i must say shes being doin something right cause shes been there 15 years. Pros: its all pro Cons: haters ssuck more

I cannot agree more with the previous reviewers Pros: Nice person Cons: Doesn't listen, talks too much, doesn't know how to cut hair more

Ok! I been reading the reviews and you're all right she's a wonderful talker! Makes you feel like she knows you and that she will make you a godess. She has been coloring my hair for the past 3 years BUT I did not leave her because I felt good with her treatment but not her work. SHE WILL NEVER LISTEN, and she will always do what she wants, she doest not know how to cut hair. And if we talk about color she will always give you something you did not ask BUT SHE WILL MAKE YOU THINK YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL and you will buy it, because of how nice she is, but the truth is that you will walk out there with your hair yellow, orange or even red when you only asked for some beige highligths. Believe me 4 of my friends stoped going because they got tired she never did what they asked for. Nice person, bad colorist. more

FIRST THIS WAS THE BEST HAIRCUT I HAVE EVER GOT NO BS Pros: NO BS SHE DOES HER THING Cons: SHES NOT BY THE ARMY BASE more

After reading the reviews here, I was anxious to try Carmen's. It's true, they know how to treat customers so they feel pampered. My shampoo included a head and neck massage. However, on the day I was there, I felt rushed through the process from beginning to end. Pros: Carmen's personality, pampering by staff Cons: Wrong haircut, rushed more

Carmen is a true pro. She has done wonders with my hair in the past but has outdone herself. I am a breast cancer survivor. I lost my hair due to chemo. It has grown back some but has a thicker texture, is curly all over, with grey as well. Carmen did miracles with my hair. It is now blonde, straight and shiny. Thanks to her expert coloring and styling with this challenging hair from chemo, I now feel like a new woman. She has given me the best gift of all: feeling pretty again, which I was beginning to feel would never happen. Carmen is a true blessing to me. There is no one who knows hair like Carmen does. Thank you! Pros: Expert color, cut & styling more

From the moment i walked in i got rockstar treatment. I was greeted imidiatly and offered a diet coke, water, or even a tecate.....who can turn down a tecate? The decor is one of a kind, and because every stylist has their own private room, you get one on one Carmen time the entire appointment! Carmen made me feel as if I had known her all my life by the time we were done. My highlights, color, and cut have been the talk of the town ever since the first day I got them done. Im so glad I trusted her expert opinion in let her do what she thought would look best. So all in all, please visit her with an open mind and trust that you will walk out feeling good about yourself from the inside out!!! Pros: THE WHOLE EXPERIANCE WAS PROFESSIONAL Cons: THE CONS ARE ALL THE OTHER PLACES I HAVE GONE TOO IN TOWN more

I discovered Carmen through a coworker and I will go no place other now! I wanted a place who would care about my haircut and my hair and not so much glam and glitter! When you walk in your greeted like a old friend no matter who you are. You are sat down and asked whatcha want to drink and then off to shampoo. No matter who you stylist is your haircut is discussed and suggestions are made if needed. The stylist takes thier time attending to your wants and needs, they are always up on thje newest and hippest ideas in hair, but you wont get a cookie-cutter haircut here, each style job is personalized to your liking! Theres always a variety of people at Carmen from TV personalities to Grandmas to teens ( an occasional Elvis sighting...) but everyone is here for the same reason! The best personal attention haircut in town.... You're crazy if you go elsewhere!!! Pros: Good long lasting haircut more

Pros: THEY NOT ONLY DO GREAT HAIR THEY EDUCATE YOU ON HAIR Cons: I LIVE OUTTA TOWN more

I had been using the same stylist for six years and when we moved I struggled through a few less than wonderful salon experiences. My visit to Carmen was a welcome relief. It was just as important to her that I leave looking and feeling good as it was to me. She has been cutting and coloring my hair for about six months and I continue to get compliments! Everyone at the salon is very friendly and I know that while I'm there I am their top priority! Pros: amazing stylist, great salon, good location Cons: zero more

i was so pleased to be treated like a rock star the staff were the greatest catering to my needs like a vip and the results were awsomeeee i didnt wanna leave but when i did everyone i ran into couldnt believe the look i had they all had 100s of good things to say, and i guess thats why i was recommened to go there try it .. cheat on your hair dresser and youll love Carmen better!!!!!! Pros: the whole experiance was a pro Cons: that i couldnt spend more money more
