Norma is friendly and professional. She cut my hair exactly as I asked and the highlights are amazing too 🥰 I’m always so nervous about someone cutting my hair, but I’ll definitely be a regular with Norma!! The hoodie is my before photo

She has a funny sign on the wall that says “I’m a beautician, not a magician “. SOOO not true because her expertise is simply the best— bar none!

Found this place when my usual stylist was booked and I had a wonderful experience. Norma is so knowledgeable about hair and hair care and she did a fabulous job on my highlights and cut. I highly recommend Norma and Shear Genius salon.

When I moved here I had trouble finding a salon and she fixed one bad haircut and when I went back with my husband to get his hair cut too. She doesn't kno how to cut men's hair at all. My husband left with half way done bc she kept using thinking shears and couldn't cut a straight line! With my cut had uneven lines in the back and when I finally found a great stylist he said "omg he cut ur hair last she did a horrible job it was all uneven in the back" would never recommend her to no one! Also she has conspiracy theory going on th TV along with very republican TV shows on all the time! Over charged me for a partial highlight with cut and a men's hair cut! She over charged me to learn how to cut a certain style and then screwed it up horribly!

Norma is the best y’all , I continue to come back to her and she does amazing! I went from a Balayage to A burgundy red it looks flawless !! Not only dying hair but haircuts as well! So glad I found her!

Not worth the price I paid for highlights and hair cut

Norma is the absolute best. She takes pride in her profession, no one will ever leave her chair with a disaster cut, color, style or anything. I went to her after another so called beautician butchered my hair with a layer that resembled a shelf and over 6 inches cut off. I was really worried I was going to just deal with it till it grew back. Nope Norma wouldn't let that happen. She took her time and was genuinely interested in what I wanted. I will never let anyone but her do my hair.

Had massive hair loss due to change in medication and I was told about Norma at Shear Genius Salon. I visited Norma and she explained to me what were the changes she could do for me to include maintenance and upkeep. I opted for Norma's suggestions to include human hair piece and extensions. Found out through Norma that she had to be trained and certified for this process. Norma worked magic and now I have HAIR. I can shampoo and dry my hair and not worry about hair loss. When I brush my hair it's all so natural because it's human hair and you can't see where the added piece and extensions are placed. I love having hair again. Thanks Norma for your expertise because I couldn't have done it without you. Useful Funny Cool

I had highlights done elsewhere and the color ended up almost a solid blonde and too blonde for my skin tone. I could not bare to even look at myself in the mirror. The color wasn't me. No one amongst my family and friends liked it. My hair was fried and breaking off so much that I lost length. My hair was a mess. I was desperate to get it corrected. I searched online and found Shear Genius and a review referencing Norma. I read numerous reviews on multiple different sites of Norma and they were all excellent. I found no negative reviews which is pretty amazing. The reviews gave me confidence in her and I trusted her before I even met her. I showed Norma a picture of the color and look I want and she got to work. FOUR HOURS LATER, Norma had corrected the base color of my roots and the tone of the highlights. She treated and deep conditioned my hair with some supreme bonding products that made my hair feel healthy and soft. Once she cut and styled my hair, it no longer looked frayed at the ends and the breakage I had was no longer noticeable. I love how my hair feels and looks. Norma started the process of getting my hair healthy, longer and to the color I want so that I can have the exact Balayage look I want. After meeting Norma, I will never again settle for "how my hair turns out". I had been settling for years. I highly recommend Norma! She is a professional, has talent and takes pride in her work. Moving forward I will be putting my hair in her hands.

Over the years, I have had horrible experiences with hair stylists and had pretty much gotten to the point I only went in to trim the ends and nothing more. Due to allergies and hair loss, I only used the most natural of hair products on my hair and covered my grays with pure henna, something I learned from YouTube. It looked okay, but over the years, I had this long scraggily pyramid looking mess that I always kept in a pony tail or a clip. After months and months of internet research for the best salon in San Antonio, the same name kept coming up, Norma Renfro. I even read her name in a review for another salon, because Norma had fixed the mistakes made by that salon. All of reviews said the same thing. Norma Renfro of Shear Genius Salon was professional, she listened, she cared and she was a phenomenal stylist. Terrified of another potential hair disaster, I took the chance and wrote the email requesting a quote for service. After an email and a handful of texts, I made a hair appointment for the first time in 7 years. When you walk into the Phenix Salon, you look at the monitor at the left to find out which suite you need and then follow the directions on the wall. We had no issues finding the suite. Upon entering Shear Genius Salon, we found a cute and cozy place that makes you feel right at home. The entire space has been decorated in a fun and funky décor that was a visual treat for the eyes. No snobby desk clerk making you feel underdressed or unimportant. Just Norma herself and her counterpart, in a very laid back, comfortable atmosphere. As the waiting area only has two chairs, my husband made himself scarce while I waiting for my appointment. I had explained to Norma I wanted to dye my hair an auburn color, with some highlights and lowlights. I also wanted to trim it up and put in some layers, the most we could do with my baby fine and thinning hair. Norma listened to all my concerns, told me exactly how she planned on tacking the task. Then she explained that in the end, if I was unhappy for any reason, just to let her know and she would make it right. I immediately relaxed because I knew everything was going to be fine. Norma was WONDERFUL, not only as a stylist/artist, but as a person as well. I literally felt like I had gone to the home of a good friend for a couple hours of great conversation while she did my hair. The speed and skill in which Norma finished my hair speaks volumes to her knowledge and skill. My hair came out fairytale beautiful! It is an gentle Ombre effect that is darker on the bottom and lighter on top, which I am absolutely in love with. I've attached a picture, but the picture doesn't do it justice. It is absolutely gorgeous in the sunlight. My husband saw it and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. Standing outside the door of the shop, he said, "I don't care what it costs, you need to go to this lady, (Norma Renfro), always. Go in an make a follow up appointment with her right now. Your hair looks AMAZING." For the remainder of the day, he kept touching my hair and talking about how great it looked, asking why I hadn't made an appointment sooner. I am not only blessed to have met Ms. Norma, I am super excited that she is now my stylist. No matter what you previous experiences were, I can honestly tell you that no one was more scared to go to a new stylist than I was. I am so glad I did and you will be too.

Great and professional service! I will definitely recommend Norma to my family and friends.

I used a over the counter product to give me “summer natural highlights” which turned my hair completely light red-orange. Norma was amazing and fixed my color beautifully!! It was my first time going to her, and I will definitely become a regular!
