Worth a Second Glance

There's a certain swagger that comes with fresh color and a good blowout. The walk to the car slows down on purpose, and the rearview mirror gets a few extra glances before the engine starts. In Kingwood, Michael Richard Salon has been handing out that feeling since 2013. The Aveda Concept Salon uses only Aveda products, so every appointment comes with the brand's plant-powered hair care.

Custom work is the specialty here. Highlighting runs from soft balayage to bright dimensional blondes, while custom color covers everything from glosses to gray coverage. Precision haircuts for both men and women round out the menu. What really sets the salon apart is its stylist level system. Guests can choose anyone from a Co-Stylist in training to a Level 5 Master Stylist, which makes it easy to find the right fit for any budget. Every stylist grows through the salon's in-house education program, learning on live models and real guests. At the earlier levels, color formulas even get a second look from a salon educator. It's a thoughtful way to deliver on the salon's two-word promise of “Luxury Services.”

That commitment to growth starts at the top. Owner Michael Alvarado, known around the salon as Mike, gathers the team every Tuesday morning to sharpen new techniques. The hard work has paid off in more ways than one. The team has celebrated its milestones with salon trips to Puerto Rico in both 2025 and 2026. Now there's another reason to celebrate, since the community helped Michael Richard Salon earn their 2026 Best of Texas Award. Somewhere in Kingwood today, a guest is sneaking one more look in the rearview mirror.
