Alexander Antonio Haircraft

He gave me the first satisfactory haircut of my life. I actually took him a picture of what I wanted and he cut it EXACTLY the way it was shown. He was very attentive to what I wanted. I had given up hope on my straight thick asian hair looking glamorous and flowy but he knew exactly what to do with it...better than the dozens of asian hairstylists I've been to. I am getting my next haircut with him, definitely. more

I am a hairstylist and have been to just about every salon in Dallas it seems. Nobody could ever get my color or cut right. I came out with the same ol' boring 'do every time. Thank goodness I found Alexander! First off-- he gave me an amazing color; a mixture of browns, violets, and golds and followed it with an excellent cut. This is by far the best haircut I've ever had--super stylish and easy to manage. I'm hooked and can't imagine going to anyone else. If your hair needs help---don't waste time and money at other places--go see Alexander. Pros: someone who actually knows hair more

I have been looking for a while for a stylist that gives me that 100% satisfaction when I walk out of the salon. I have been to many other salons here in Dallas and to me, some were better than others, but none of them compare to the haircut and color that I received from Alexander. My first experience with him was great from the beginning. He sat with me, and we basically discussed what I wanted to do with my hair and what was best for my hair. I told him I wanted to keep the length and keep my hair as healthy looking as possible. He used a different technique when coloring my hair in which he colored it while it was wet which I think was much healthier for my hair since highlights tend to be more damaging to my hair because of its natural color (black). My color turned out very beautiful, soft, and very well blended. After my color, came the cut. Alexander uses ""dry cut"" technique which allowed him to sculpt my hair with precision. I LOVE the way he cuts hair! I think it's so much better than cutting it while it's wet because it allows a more precise way to shape hair into the perfect hairstyle. My hairstyle shaped my face so beautifully, and it's very easy to manage. Anyway, I'm so glad I finally found a great stylist! Like I stated earlier, I have been to many salons here in Dallas, and in my opinion, none of the them compare to style I received from Alexander Antonio. He's really awesome. I'm so glad I found him! I have another appt. with him in eight weeks, and I can't wait to come back for another great color and style. Pros: Color and Style! Cons: Scant parking. more

Alexander is the best stylist I've ever been to and I've been to many. I could tell the minute he began speaking to me about what we were going to do that his goal was to make me happy and to do great work. He takes his job very seriously and has pride in what he does. I told him what I wanted and boy, did he deliver! He exceeded my expectations!!! I have never had any stylist consult me about hair wellness, tips, etc. It's as if he cared about my hair as much as I did. The color was magnificent. He colors hair while it is wet which I've never had anyone do before. But it makes perfect sense. He does this after he deep conditions your hair so its in its healthiest state. The color is perfect - the prettiest I've ever had. The cut is perfect too. I wanted to keep my hair long with no bangs. He did a graceful blend of tapered layers that I just love. My husband loves it. I got it done less than 24 hours ago and everytime he has looked at me he says ""I love your hair. That guy you went to did a great job"". I live in La. and I made my 8 week follow up appt. with Alexander while I was in the salon because there is no way that I'm not going back. He is a genius. He is also extremely kind and nice to work with and he cares about you and wants you to be happy. Run to see him. Don't walk. Pros: everything more

Hair sculptor vs stylist. Amazing. Antonio [his middle name and preferred title] is the most amazing artist of style and color. Be prepared for the cut of your life. If you have never had a dry cut, you are in for a real treat. Dry cuts permit less cut and more diversity of style. I was able to go for 5 weeks vs the usual 4 weeks and the cut lasted well; likley due to Antonio's technique of cutting to the scalp shape vs hair parameter. Subtle, yet significant. This translates into some real $ savings annually. And his Sahag product is superb. The only dry cut in Dallas; the only distributor in Dallas of New York Sahag product...this man is pentultimate in hair care. You will never have a better cut or cut experience. Call for an appointment on his cell now at 469.744.1654. He is presently in Uptown on McKinney Ave. Pros: artist, sculptor, intuitive, meticulous, hidden, undiscovered budding genius, wine, scalp massage Cons: soon it will take a while to get in to see him, needs a proprietary shop more

I went to Alexander Antonio in desperation after sooooo many bad haircuts. My hair is heavy and curly, and everyone's approach until now has been to thin it to death, chop it off, and give me a style that requires straight hair to work. Alexander worked with my curly hair, allowing me to keep the length and giving me a style that lets my hair curl without a lot of fussing from me - heavenly! I was concerned that I would have to spend a lot of time fixing it every morning, but it really does just fall into place. I don't even have to dry it now (gasp!). It really flatters the shape of my face. After my session, I went straight to pick up my daughter and all the staff and teachers raved about my new do! He also did the color, going a lot darker than I ever dared, and it turned out beautifully. Everyone tells me how my eyes really ""pop"". I think he's awesome. Just listen to him and trust his vision; you won't be sorry! Pros: Gorgeous hair! Cons: A bit hard to find, but I got there. more

I have to tell you, Alexander Antonio is AMAZING! I've been to many hair stylists, but none take there art so seriously, or have more passion, than Alexander. Pros: Honest, passionate hair stylist. Wet color/dry cut approach. Organic color. more

I decided to book an appointment with Alexander after reading many raving reviews about him. I didn't care if it was too far or more than what I usually pay- I had to see this master of hair. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Before he started cutting he sat down w/ me and gave a consultation and I am not talking 3-4 minutes you get at other places. He is very detailed and a hands-on type of guy. I told him I wanted to keep my hair long and he honored that and even agreed w/ me. He then used the dry-cutting technique and was so precise and really took the extra time to make sure my hair was perfect. The hair washing came after the cut which I like b/c I didn't leave w/ little hairs all over my shirt. He then showed me exactly how to style my hair including how to tame my cowlicks. Alexander will spend alot of time w/ you to make sure you get something that is right for you and also to make sure you know how to keep up the look. He is not a stylist that will have you in and out of there in less than 30 minutes. You definitely get what you pay for with Alexander! Pros: he is perfection more

It doesn't happen on a daily basis that I take the time out of my busy schedule to write a review. That makes it this much more important to me to absolutely rave about my recent experience with Alexander Antonio. In a world where quantity takes precedence over quality, cuts that belief with his shears. Hailing from NYC, I had found what I had thought to be an unforgettable stylist who gave me exactly the cut I wanted and I was convinced after countless horrible hair experiences, it would never be recaptured. I was more than wrong. From Alexander taking the time to consult with me about what I wanted and taking mental notes about everything that I said, he brought me over and started the hair coctail. These products made me feel like I had the hair of a supermodel...not just a model...a supermodel! My hair was like silk, so weightless and alive. After sitting down with me as my coctail melted into my hair, he rinsed and brought me back to the chair to dry and begin cutting. His technique was insatiable. Instead of having chair shock at the butchering you just received in any other place, he cuts with precision each piece and displays exactly how it will fall on your head. The benefits of his thorough education along with a god-given talent result in unforgettable care for your locks. I have now recommended friends in New York to see him on his quarterly trip and have pledged my hair allegience to never go astray. If there was a six star rating, I would have given it!!! Pros: Even in a bustling atmosphere, the staff is extremely friendly and doting. Cons: Unfortunately Alexander Antonio cannot be multiplied and do my hair daily! more

After having my hair cut and colored by Alexander Antonio, I have received more compliments than ever. He is a true artist! I was hesitant to try out a new stylist as I had been going to my previous stylist for the past 3 years. I'm glad I did!!! I took a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like and he was able to duplicate the style exactly. As a result of his cutting edge techniques, I'm able to style my hair effortlessly everyday and that's quite a feat if you know my hair! He was also able to work with my existing color and highlights to create a more flattering look for me. Needless to say, I will go back!!! Pros: Friendly atmosphere Cons: could do with a few more parking spots more

I am new to the area and missed my old stylist deeply. I had grown exhausted with my highlighted brown hair and was dying to get it back to its dark natural brown color. I also was interested in getting a sleek new bob haircut. I read reviews and decided to try Alexander out at Trio instead of Toni and Guy. When I first met Alexander I absolutely charmed. He made me feel absolutely comfortable and that I had made the right decision. From the moment I sat in his chair he explained to me in detail each step he was making and down to the science of how the color would work in my hair and how the cut would work best for me. The environment was busy, busy and there was a lot of noise in the place but Alexander had a nature completely different. He spoke calmly and often to my face so I had no troubles hearing him among the chaos. He also explain the Sahag products so well for me that I ended up buying all of the products he used in my hair (Sidenote: this was a great decision. I love the products and my hair still feels weightless). When Antonio was finished with the color I was shocked! It was darker than I expected just a tad darker than my natural color but I LOVE it. It's so rich and shiny I can't stop playing with it! He was very careful with my cut. He even went as far to reverse the cape I had on because he was convinced it was changing how straight the back was being cut. He was correct and the result was this ultra hot straight line in the back. The bob was longer than I anticipated also, but it looks fabulous. My husband is never very excited about my haircuts but this time when he saw me with the cut and new color his chin dropped! It is so hot and fun that I went out and bought a ton of new clothes to go with this ultra femme new look. Alexander rocked my hair out. Its got an edge while also looking so, so sophisticated. I keep getting compliments from everyone who sees me. Alexander is the best! Pros: Skill, Attitude, Uniqueness Cons: Crazy busy and a little chaotic atmosphere but nothing I would avoid. more

Let me first start off by saying.... THANKS ALEXANDER FOR MY MASTERPIECE!! Ok i am the receptionist at Trio and a current cosmetology student, and I was getting my hair done at the school. When I got the job at Trio my hair wasn't exactly up to ""par"" or uptown material in my mind. I met Alexander and right from the start I started noticing his work. It's like art!! When his clients walk out of our salon they are just beaming with joy and well let me say hottness. Now don't get me wrong all of our stylists are great and take their time, but Alexander goes into depth with your hair. He really gets to know it and the feel before he starts doing anything. I would definately recommend him if you are from out of town, in the area, looking for a new stylist, or just need a quick fix. TRUST ME YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!! Thanks Alexander much love Pros: Excellent Service, Great Atmosphere, Located in Uptown, lots of parking, and always always happy to see new faces and greet with a smile!! Cons: I can honestly say NONE!! more

This was the best hair cut and color I have EVER had. Alexander was fabulous! I have just moved to Dallas from Houston and was dreading finding someone to do my hair. I drive by Trio a lot and thought I would try it, but before I did, a co-worker told me about the reviews on Alexander. I read them and knew I had to try his services. I have found the perfect stylist. My hair looks and feels great. I went to NY the next week-end and got raves the whole time. Even the ladies with airport security were commenting on my color. The price is also very reasonable. Thanks Alexander. I look forward to a long relationship. more

I have moved three times in three years so it makes it hard to find a great hair stylist. I came to Alexander Antonio because 1) he has some great reviews on citysearch and 2) it was very close to home. I went to him hoping that he could fix my outgrown, damaged hair. more

I have lived in the Dallas area for awhile and was sick of hairstylist that was always late to our appointments and never really listened to me. I even brought pictures to her and that made no difference. So I talked to people and looked online and found Alexander. He is everything the reviews say and more. He talks you through the thought process and is very professional. The dry cut was perfect - it gives you the chance to see the whole thing come together - there's no uncertainty about what it will look like after styling. I have found my stylist! What a relief! Pros: Location, Service Cons: Parking more

Alexander is absolutely amazing. I have been switching hairstylists for the past few years, trying to find one that could make my hair look good, but I was never happy with it. My hair was a mess, but he turned it into something fabulous. He spent a lot of time fixing the color and highlights. Now my hair compliments my skin tone and brings out my eye color instead of leaving me looking washed out. The cut is stylish and easy to maintain, and he spent time explaining how he styled it. He is very friendly and professional, and spends a lot of time making your hair look just right. You can tell he really loves what he does, and he is excellent at it. I have received many compliments on my hair after going to Alexander, and will definitely go back. Pros: Professional, Highly Skilled, Reasonable Price more

I moved her from Florida 2 years ago and had been bouncing from hairdresser to hairdresser looking for ""that one"". I used to drive 2 hours in FL to the guy I liked, he was worth it. A girl I work with finally referred me to Alexander Anotnio and I am hooked. I can just sit in his chiar and say ""go"" and a few hours later he will create a new awesome look for me. He uses my personality and physique to create the perfect look for me and I always feel amazing when I walk out of his salon. He is a really nice, calming person and you can tell he has passion for what he does because he never rushes and alway keeps 100% focus on you. He takes his time to make the look perfect and always does amazing things with cut and color. They always compliment eachother fabulously. I recommend him to anyone . I have a girlfirend who is picky as hell and she finally caved in and went to him and she loved him too!!! Now she is hooked! Pros: Easy to get to, Convenient, Never asks you to buy product more

I found Alexander Antonio on the Dallas City Search site and decided to take a chance and visit a new hair salon. I was more than happy with the results. Alexander spent over 3 hours with me, listened to my ideas and I walked out of there with the perfect hair cut and color. Definitely recommended!!! Pros: Great cut and color Cons: a little trek for me to drive from allen more

I can't even begin to put into words the amazing talent that Alexander has. There are people that cut hair to make money, or because they have to work, but he cuts hair because he loves it. The result of a passionate, artful hair dresser is a fabulous cut and colors that enhance your features. if you are looking for a hair dresser that you will want to keep coming back to...you can end your search here. Pros: Alexander is flexible and will work with your schedule Cons: It was such a great experience that I wanted to get my hair done everyday!!!! more

First let me say that I have been getting my hair done professionally for many years now at some of the best known salons in Dallas: Matthew Tully, Toni & Guy, Osgood O'neil, Jean-Philippe Salon, & Alan Stone to name a few - and my experience at those salons never came close to the one I had with Alexander. He began by talking to me about my hair concerns and goals, sharing some of his ideas while truly listening to mine. The entire time he was busy with my cut and color I was completely involved in the process and never felt as if I was in the dark about what he would be doing next. I have to say that the ""wet color/dry cut"" was something that I had never experienced, but it was brilliant! By following this process, especially the completely dry cut, you can really see the way that it will turn out in the end and avoid having too much cut off. I am so thrilled with my cut and color - it came out exactly the way that we talked about and I get compliments every day! Alexander is a very dedicated stylist who is going to go a long way and I am so glad that I found him here in Dallas. Please go see him and experience his great talents for yourself! Thanks again, Alexander!! See you soon!! Pros: A great cut & color for an affordable price and someone who will spend all of his time focusing on your hair!! more
