About

Founded in 2006, 22 Hair Salon became the second branch of the ML2 group, which Mr. Mingli started in 2003. The salon describes itself as Houston's first Japanese hair straightening specialist.

Services are grouped into exclusive packages, haircuts and styling, technical color services, perms, and treatments. Every visit begins with a detailed consultation, and treatments start with an assessment of the client's hair health before a personalized plan is built. Japanese straightening smooths the hair cuticle to reduce frizz and flyaways, leaving a sleek, shiny finish that the salon says looks natural rather than stiff. The method relies on temperature control and balanced formulas, and is meant to straighten hair while also restoring damaged hair.

Prices are listed by service, often with a starting point and higher tiers for longer or more involved work. A women's haircut is listed at $50, with $60+ also shown, and a Japanese straightening perm ranges from $220 to $280+. Hours are Monday 11 am to 7 pm, Tuesday closed, Wednesday through Saturday 10 am to 7 pm, and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm.

Healthy hair comes first, and each treatment starts from an assessment of hair health that shapes a personalized plan.
