Why Choose a Luxury Hair Salon here in San Antonio
Many people, including myself before I met the LOOK Salon team, often question the rationale behind dropping a few hundred dollars for a haircut or a makeover. After all, how hard is it to cut or style hair? I very quickly realized that it’s a common misconception to think that luxury hair salons sell the same services but at a markup. After all, if some places here can get away with selling $15 street tacos the size of your palm, one might assume hair salons are no better.
Here’s what sets LOOK apart:
Personalized Experience
From the moment you log into the website, LOOK encourages you to view and select what feels right for you. No pressuring you into a service you don’t need, no upcharges for “processing fees”, and no hassle between you and your appointment. It is highly encouraged that visitors scroll through the services page so they can make a decision that matches their needs. LOOK also asks a series of optional & non-optional questions that carefully curate the appointment even before the customer walks through the door.
Upon arrival, it’s almost like the entire staff knows exactly how you want to be treated. Not a big socialite? The LOOK team treats you with that well deserved silence to escape life’s everyday troubles for a brief moment of luxury relaxation. Love chatter? LOOK’s stylists are some of the most interesting people to vent, joke, and have deep conversations with (from personal experience).
Sadly, all great appointments come to an end, but when concluding your appointment, you are given all the tools, information, and confidence needed to maintain and grow your new look.
Location, Location, Location!
LOOK Salon is nestled in the heart of downtown San Antonio on 824 Broadway St. While you might be scarred from previous parking misadventures in downtown, LOOK has a private parking lot with lots of space for all types of vehicles (no parallel parking needed here). I’ve also found myself walking to the nearby Make Ready Market and splurging on some home-made empanadas (perhaps one too many times).
While the surrounding businesses and vibe greatly aid the LOOK experience, what’s on the inside is even more revealing of what the owners of this business have tried their best to emulate: ambiance.

Expertise & Skill
While all the aspects of LOOK mentioned above are superb, this makes LOOK top tier. LOOK makes the feeling of luxury a mindset. Over the years, they’ve attracted and recruited some of the state’s best talent. Founder Damian Gonzales III, a very well accolated stylist himself, has often told me he’s a “control freak” which might seem scary at first glance, but really means his eye for detail is near perfect.
This level of care is shared amongst all of LOOK’s staff, from highlights to men’s haircuts, LOOK dominates in their each of their respective fields. They pride themselves on having continuous education, stylist workshops and overall quality.
