The Sagittarius Vision

As Leaders in the Industry, Sagittarius provides and maintains the highest standard of professional one of kind services.  We are innovative, respected and consistent. We are the Daymakers.

Making heads turn for over 40 years,Internationally trained hairdresser and certified colorist, Marsha Knicley opened Sagittarius Salon and Spa in 1973 with only two employees, 900 square feet of space, and two goals:

  • To consistently provide the finest and most current beauty services, with individual attention for every guest.
  • To provide a place of employment where all staff members would have the opportunity to receive similar benefits to those in other great industries.

Marsha achieved these goals and her reputation soared for always having the edge on hair color and design. She has created a work environment that offers stability, excitement, professional growth opportunities, financial achievement, and rewards.

The new Galleria location opened in 2005 and includes the salon, spa, retail area, and Urban Violet Boutique.

At Sagittarius, we are dedicated to providing a memorable experience for each guest through exceptional service and technical excellence. We will go the extra mile to accomplish this mission with passion, technical excellence, and the utmost professionalism and courtesy.
