OUR STORY— Since 2006
ML2 was founded in 2003 by the visionary Mr. Mingli. What began with just one talented stylist has grown into a team of nearly 30 dedicated stylists and assistants, serving clients across four different locations.
22 Hair Salon became the second branch in 2006, born from a simple yet heartfelt idea.
Over the years, we’ve grown from a neighborhood salon into one of Houston’s most trusted destinations for Japanese hair straightening and professional hair care. Along the way, we’ve stayed true to three core values—expert craftsmanship, passion for beauty, and genuine respect for every client.
Each stylist on our team is not only skilled in modern cutting, coloring, and styling, but also trained in Japanese hair repair and straightening techniques—always striving to achieve the perfect balance between transformation and hair health.
For nearly 20 years, we’ve been proud to cultivate a salon culture that blends Japanese artisan spirit with Houston’s warmth. At 22 Hair Salon, every strand matters, and every guest leaves with confidence and satisfaction.
