Best Hair Salons in Arlington, TX
Compare 75 hair salons in Arlington, Texas with Google ratings, services and online booking. The top-rated spot is Julie African Hair with 5.0 stars from 44 Google reviews.
Arlington has 75 salons in our directory, and the data on them is unusually complete: 99% carry a public rating, the citywide average is 4.69 stars, and 69% take online booking. Barber services and textured-hair work show up most often in the listings, with women's cuts, styling, and blowouts close behind.
What Arlington's Salons Actually Offer
Barbering is well covered here: 22 salons handle men's cuts, 22 do fades, and 19 offer beard trims. Women's services run nearly as deep — 20 salons for cuts, 20 for styling, and 20 for blowouts.
The real depth is in textured and protective hair. Nineteen salons offer braids, 19 handle locs, and 19 do protective styles, with another 11 for weaves and 11 for extensions. If you're looking for box braids, retwists, or a sew-in, Arlington gives you genuine options rather than one or two defaults.
Color is the thin spot in our data — only 3 listings are tagged for hair color, highlights, or balayage. A caveat: our service tags are broad. A tag confirms a salon does the work; the absence of one doesn't prove it doesn't. Plenty of full-service salons handle color without it showing in our tags, so if color is the goal, call a well-reviewed salon and ask directly.
Booking and Ratings, by the Numbers
About 69% of Arlington's listings take online booking, so most of the time you can hold an appointment without phone tag. The rest book by phone or walk-in, which is common at barbershops and braiding salons.
On ratings: 99% of the salons here have one, and they average 4.69 stars. When nearly everything sits above four and a half, the star number alone stops telling you much — the reviews underneath it are what matter. Look for reviews that mention your specific service, carry recent dates, and describe how the salon handled a problem. Detailed, recent feedback about the service you actually want beats a slightly higher average built on one-line reviews.
How to Use This Directory
Start with the service filter, not the star sort. A barber who does clean fades all day is not the person to see for a silk press, and the filter gets you to the right chairs faster than scanning ratings.
Once you have a shortlist, use the booking link where there is one to lock in a time. If a salon doesn't have one, call — and since we don't list prices, ask about cost and timing for your specific service while you're on the phone. Many listings also link to Instagram, which works as a portfolio: recent posts show the actual work coming out of the chair, and that's worth more than any written description.
