Perfect for all hair types, this service begins with a personalized consultation, followed by calming Aveda aromatherapy, a relaxing scalp and neck massage, and a soothing steam towel. Our experts will then deliver a polished, long-lasting blowout. (Note: For our guests with Type 3 curly and Type 4 coily hair, this service features an expert diffusing session to perfectly define, hydrate, and celebrate your natural texture.)
Glam Shampoo Style
Unleash your inner star with our Glam Shampoo & Style experience, designed to give you a polished, red-carpet-ready look. After a personalized consultation, you will surrender to a relaxing scalp and neck massage, calming scents, and a steam towel preparation. Following an expert shampoo and blowout, our stylists will use simple thermal tools to create soft, glamorous movement. This service is ideal for guests wanting a beautiful, everyday hot tool finish that lasts.
Glam Shampoo Style with a Treatment
Elevate your blowout with a Spa-Inspired Treatment tailored to your hair's exact needs. We begin with a consultation to select your ideal Aveda targeted treatment—whether you need Botanical Repair for strength, Nutriplenish for deep moisture, or Scalp Solutions for soothing care. Unwind with a scalp and neck massage, aromatherapy, and a steam treatment before your expert shampoo. Finally, our stylists will complete your look with a stunning blowout and simple thermal styling, leaving you with healthy, glamorous hair.
Ultimate Hair & Scalp Treatment (Head Spa)
Escape to pure bliss with our Ultimate Hair & Scalp Spa Experience, Apotheca Salon's exclusive 90-minute head spa journey for complete renewal. Immerse yourself in three signature Aveda treatments: Nutriplenish to quadruple moisture, Scalp Solutions to balance and soothe, and Botanical Repair to make hair 5x stronger. Throughout this luxurious service, you will unwind with a rejuvenating scalp, neck, and back massage, invigorating steam, and a touch of red light therapy. Your transformation concludes with a glamorous blowout, leaving you with stunning hair and a renewed sense of well-being.
Silk Press
Achieve unparalleled sleekness with our precision Silk Press service, specifically designed for naturally curly and coily hair textures. This transformative service begins with a deep-cleansing shampoo and an intense hydration treatment to protect your hair's integrity. After a meticulous, tension-based blowout, our stylists use professional flat irons to achieve a glass-like, ultra-straight finish without the use of harsh chemicals. It is the perfect choice for guests seeking temporary, precision straightening with maximum shine and movement.

Classic & Glam Styling FAQ
What is the difference between a Classic and a Glam Shampoo Style?
A Classic style includes a luxurious shampoo and a round-brush blowout (or diffusing). A Glam style includes the blowout plus simple thermal styling with a curling iron or flat iron for added movement.
How is the Classic Style performed on curly or coily hair?
For our guests with Type 3 and Type 4 hair, the Classic Shampoo Style utilizes expert diffusing techniques and Aveda curl-enhancing products to define and hydrate your natural texture rather than blowing it straight.
Do you charge extra for very long hair?
Yes, due to the extra time and product required, there is an additional charge for guests with XL (waist-length) and 2XL (below waist) hair for all styling services.
What if I want really detailed, intricate curls?
If you want highly detailed, pinned, or intricate curling, you will need to book a Special Event Style. The Glam Style is meant for simple, everyday hot tool movement.
What service should I book to get my curly hair perfectly straight?
You should book a Silk Press! This service is specifically designed for precision straightening on textured hair, providing a sleek, glossy finish without chemical straighteners.
What is included in the Ultimate Hair & Scalp Treatment?
This 90-minute "head spa" includes three premium Aveda treatments, extensive massage (scalp, neck, back), steam, red light therapy, and finishes with a beautiful blowout.
Can I add a deep conditioning treatment to a regular blowout?
Absolutely. Simply book the "Glam Shampoo Style with a Treatment" to enjoy customized Aveda hydration or repair alongside your blowout.
What products do you use for blowouts?
We exclusively use Aveda's 100% vegan, cruelty-free styling products to protect your hair from heat and lock in your style.
How long will my blowout or silk press last?
Depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and the Texas humidity, a professional blowout or silk press typically lasts between 3 to 7 days.
Why do you use steam during the shampoo process?
Warm steam gently opens the hair cuticle, allowing our Aveda botanical treatments to penetrate deeper for maximum moisture and repair.
Special Event & Bridal Q&A
Do updos and special event styles include a wash and blow-dry?
No, they do not. Up styling requires "grip" to hold pins and intricate details securely, so we ask that you arrive with clean, completely dry hair.
How should I prep my hair for an updo or bridal style?
We recommend washing your hair the night before with a light shampoo and conditioner, and blow-drying it completely smooth with minimal styling products.
What is considered a Special Event Style?
This includes detailed thermal curling (like Hollywood waves), half-up/half-down styles, and intricate prom hair that isn't fully pinned up into an updo.
Do you offer on-site wedding hair for bridal parties?
Yes! Apotheca Salon offers on-site bridal styling. Please note that traveling on-site incurs an additional fee to accommodate our stylists' time away from the salon.
Is a deposit required to book my wedding hair?
Yes, we require a deposit for all bridal parties to secure your date and reserve our artists' time for your special day.
Should I book a trial run for my bridal upstyle?
We highly recommend booking a bridal trial 4 to 6 weeks before your wedding so we can perfect the look, test veil placement, and ensure your morning runs flawlessly.
What makes a Bridal Upstyle different from a regular Up Style?
Bridal styling requires extra time for meticulous detailing, veil or accessory placement, and advanced techniques to ensure the hair holds up through weather, tears, and dancing.
Can you incorporate my clip-in extensions into my updo?
Yes! If you are bringing your own clip-in extensions for added volume or length, please let us know at the time of booking so we can allocate extra time.
Do you style hair for prom and homecoming?
Yes, we love creating beautiful prom hair! You can book either a Special Event Style (for down/half-up looks) or an Up Style (for fully pinned looks).
Why can't you just wash and blow-dry my hair before my updo?
Freshly washed, silky hair is often too slippery to hold bobby pins and intricate twists. "Day-old" dry hair provides the perfect natural texture and grip for a long-lasting updo.
