Her trademark is the impeccable interpretation of professional style that incorporates sultry and sexy design, while emphasizing the importance of healthy hair. ‘Contemporary,’ ‘multi-textured,’ ‘cut,’ ‘colored’ and ‘styled’ all describe her magnificent repertoire. It is this rich palette that is quickly making San Antonio hairdresser, Sonia Rodriguez, a sought after professional in the local industry.

Fresh from a respected role at a local high-end salon, Sonia Rodriguez breaks onto the San Antonio scene this month with the launch of her latest professional endeavor, GOT HAIR? Salon. With over eleven years of experience, Sonia will dazzle and impress the hair-conscious of San Antonio with her creative talents.

A confident professional with an easygoing demeanor, Sonia knows exactly what she wants to achieve. She is a visionary stylist with the unique ability to “see” the end result. Her skill and grace enable her to add the kind of allure to hair that exudes independence, sex appeal, and individuality unique to every client that sits in her chair. Respected for detail and specificity, Sonia attracts the fashionforward by molding hair that reflects high style and personality. “Hairdressing is an evolving industry. Today it is far more diverse and exciting. It needs to be, in order to keep each client en vogue,” asserts Sonia. By employing her talents, Sonia endears her clients by customizing cuts versatile for all occasions in life from casual and sophisticated to elegant and glamorous. Unlike most hair professionals in the industry, Sonia earns her loyalty and favor with clients by offering a tailored salon experience, never taking for granted the trust placed in her hands. “Success is easily achieved when a client’s vision and expectation is consistently met, not mine,” she clarifies.

Sonia credits her beloved mother for helping her get started in the world of hair early in high school. After studying hair design at Cameo Beauty Academy in Chicago, Illinois in 1997, this native San Antonio gal returned to establish her career in the South Texas hair industry. Seizing every opportunity for professional growth, Sonia has attended numerous Aveda, Goldwell and Redken hair shows across the country and abroad, learning from the influence of numerous, prestigious hair professionals.

Though known for her talents with hair, Sonia is as much beloved for the kindness, compassion, and understanding she demonstrates in all walks of life. “It’s gratifying to see someone walk out feeling better than they walked in. Whether by suggesting a new style, applying a new color, or by way of the perfect cut- God gave me this gift as a tool for reaching out to others who, like me, might need a simple vote of confidence in the midst of life’s changing circumstances.”

Her creativity brings to life a dramatic revelation of the latest trends in cut, color and design that can celebrate a new beginning for each client. The hair care she strives to provide can literally reinvent a person. “There’s a spiritual beauty to be evoked from deep within us all that surpasses the physical,” she affirms, having recently participated in makeovers provided for The Kings Daughter attendees at Cornerstone Christian Church this past September. “This is truly a personal ministry for me. This is where I draw my inspiration,” she adds with a genuine smile. Sonia also gives freely of her time, service and resources to local charities such as the San Antonio Junior Forum.

Always striving to share her good talents, Sonia enjoys mentoring and training junior stylists, as she did in her previous professional role. “I’m better positioned now to achieve my ultimate goal, which is to help another replicate the success I’ve been fortunate to encounter. I’d like to teach and train someone else how to do what I do, and yet inspire them to do it better.”

Sonia aims to transcend San Antonio’s contrasts and cultures by redefining exceptional hair care, showcasing her brilliant and dynamic innovations - one fabulous cut at a time.
