HAIR that will make people stop and STARE!

Owner Lucy Hinojosa (standing) and Lolys Ferrara
Bad hair day? We've all had one. Whether it was yearbook pictures, the first day of school, or during a job interview, the inevitable hair day comes with a vengeance. At Salon Mio, you'll forget about all those bad hair days, and emerge yourself in relaxing sweet shampoo heaven.
Sit back in the shampooing station and listen to some music while you get ready to get your new do.
The setting is comfortable and laid back, letting the customer feel relaxed and worry free about their haircut.
They offer hair cuts and trims, up dos, facial waxings, and other salon care services.




    Many people are "regulars" at Salon Mio due to their satisfaction with what the stylists at Salon Mio have to offer. "It's so hip here," Linda San Miguel said while sitting in the laid back waiting area. Linda has been a customer for years and does not plan on going anywhere to get her hair done."I've been coming here since the 7th grade. I dont trust anyone else with my hair," Linda said. She said she enjoys it most because of the relaxed environment and for the one-on-one attention she gets at Salon Mio in Harlingen.
    Owner Lucy agreed with Linda and said they always get to personally know everyone. Lucy Hinojosa worked at Master Cuts over ten years ago, but did not enjoy it because the customers were "just a number." She also added that it was fast paced, and as for Salon Mio, you get the feeling that they are not in a rush to get the money out of your pocket and get you out the door.
   But it's not just hair to the stylists. They agreed that, "Hair is our life. It's not a job. It's art in action." Lolys enjoys working at Salon Mio along side Lucy. She said the business is invigorating and homie.
   Being open for ten years, the stylists have always been up on the "trends." "We try to travel and learn," Lucy said. She also realizes that many people in the valley don't get outrageous hairdos every single day, but said they can bring "New York looks" to whoever wants something different.
  The hairstylists not pictured are Isabel Tamez and Pricilla Garza who were not in at the time. Rick Hinojosa, Lucy's husband, also helps around the salon.
  Weither you're getting a up-do, highlights, hair color, extentions, or a facial waxing, swing by your local SALON MIO. They are a cut above your "normal" salon.
