I'm visiting MDA for my husband's cancer care.
I desperately need my hair cut, colored. I have thick curly hair but generally I straighten it. I'm trying to get someone experienced with curly cuts since my hair draws up when it drys. I am open to luxury salons or not but require experience and would prefer this week. Thank you in advance

This has probably been asked before but i haven’t seen anything really up to date so i figured i ask. I been trying to figure out work options/ opportunities my background experience is in sales, towing, manager, car dealership, delivery driver, internet sales, trailers, customer service and a few others. Any recommendations on where to apply or what positions are in demand? would prefer a driving job where the company provides a take home vehicle to get to and from work. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Finally did my first class but the gym quoted me for $250/month which seems a little steep. I'm never gonna be an MMA fighter; I just want to learn and be instructed properly and not have to pay like it's an investment.

Major things I'm looking for are:

Price first; I need it under $100.

Location second; looking for something within 40 minutes of Kingwood

Size third; prefer something smaller and more personal but this is not a requirement, which is why it's third on the list.

Hey everyone,

I’ll be moving to the Houston area soon and am looking for specific SAFE apartment/condo/townhouse/house recommendations around Houston.

I’m looking for:

• bedroom apartment

• Safety and hygiene

  (no roach infestation)

• are my biggest priorities.

• A clean, well-managed complex with responsive maintenance.

• I don’t mind being in Missouri City, Stafford, Pearland, or nearby as I work remotely.

I’d love to hear the names of apartment complexes you’ve lived in or would personally recommend (or ones to avoid).

If you’ve had a good experience with an apartment in this price range, I’d really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

title says it all! Going to be in Houston on Friday and I’m looking for a brewery with good sours! ideally near central Houston but willing to travel farther. Thank you!

Folks who don't want to get married: Where you finding other people like you? What are you saying in your dating app bio to find success?

I don't want to ever get married again, but I also don't want a casual relationship. I feel like a unicorn out here 😭.

Where is the best and highest paying place to donate plasma? The local one by my house is $500 for the first 5.

I’m just saying to search for the interested indoor site in middle of the extreme summer. Anything.

My Kids [4,6,7] and I are trying to explore Houston via the alphabet. For each letter we try a new place around the Houston Metroplex area. I am not overly familiar with the city, and have found difficulty with some of the letters, so if anybody has any suggestions for letters F-Z, that would be very helpful.

I'm launching an AI for public impact organization in Houston, and would love to connect with any techies/AI professionals in the Houston area.

I'm looking for people who are interested in public impact projects - things that improve public life for all Houstonians, or partner with nonprofits in the area, etc.

If interested, leave a comment here or DM me and happy to chat through your experience and what I'm building.

Looks like we will be in town for a week or two this summer to support and visit my FIL while he’s in the hospital. We still need to work while we’re there, so we would love any recommendations for a week long baby summer camp or something like that for our 18 month old so we can still have time to get a bit of work done and care for my FIL.

Let me know if there’s a better place to ask or really any recommendations for what to do. TIA

If so, what was your experience? I (23F) can’t find anything online so I don’t really know what to expect 😭. Thx !!

I'm a 27f and looking to expand my social circle and meet more young professionals. I'm not really interested in dating events. just want to make friends, build connections, and get out of my comfort zone.
Are there any recurring mixers, networking events, happy hours, volunteer groups, or clubs you'd recommend? I'm open to pretty much anything that has a friendly crowd.

Hello!
Does anyone know about any over the board chess clubs that meet routinely?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi!! I posted last month about the safety of the montrose/allen parkway area and got great advice!! I have officially signed a lease and am beginning setting up utilities and all of that! From out of state, where electricity is handled TOTALLY different and looking to get an opinion about providers? My locator service also has concierge that helps with the utilities part and last week they said that energy Texas has the best rates, but now suggests Atlantex due to rate changes.

Any experiences/recommendations/advice is greatly appreciated!!

Edited to add: it is a one bed apartment, roughly 1000 sq ft. I will be gone most days from 7 am ~ 5 pm, if that changes any advice!!

Been job searching in state of California have found no luck and the rent prices are ridiculous. I have a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineer but no experience. I been trying to search for a technician or process engineer 1 role, but have been struggling to find any. Is there any other job opportunities in town?

Title is basically true, I am looking at getting away from some less than desirable familial issues and have finally gotten to a point where I’m pretty sure I can afford to leave. I have a 9-5 job that pays me a little more than 1900 dollars a month, with about 900 dollars tied up in insurance, gas, food (both for me and my cat) and a bit into savings. I also do some contract work that earns me around 6000 dollars extra per year. I was hoping to rent a place in the 700-800 dollar a month range, and have my eye on a place between the astrodome and 288 right at 800. I’ve heard some pretty concerning stories though about constant break-ins and quite a bit of other assorted crimes. Im no stranger to living in a not-so-nice area, as my current place is right off of Edgebrook in south Houston, but everyone I’ve talked to says that this area might be worse. My question is then, is there anywhere else to live in Houston within that price point that won’t be as troublesome?

Hey neighbors!

I live off Memorial Dr. near the Energy Corridor (close to my workplace) and I’m looking for a barber who’s experienced with men’s flow haircuts.

I’m a 28-year-old guy who moved here about a year and a half ago, and I’ve still been struggling to find a barber who’s both skilled and willing to work toward a long-term haircut goal instead of just giving a standard trim.

My hair isn’t quite long enough for the look I want yet, so I’m planning to grow it out while getting regular trims to gradually shape it over multiple appointments. I’m looking for someone who understands that process and can help me get there.

If you have a great flow haircut yourself or know a barber nearby who’s really good at this style, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Bonus points if the shop also offers hair coloring services!

Does anyone know what the real tax rate is with the homestead exemption for zip 77006?! Can’t seem to get a straight answer from my realtor.

I know summers in Houston are pretty brutal. Was wondering what it was like outside of those 4 months? Would you all say it is quite tolerable and pleasant? I do know that temps can drop quite a bit! Thank you :-)

Does anyone know of any language exchange events or groups in Houston, particularly for young adults?!

I’ve been scouring the internet and social media but haven’t been able to find much. I’m particularly interested in Spanish/English exchange but am open to any multilingual events and would love to build more community w/ fellow language learners & international homies.

Any leads appreciated 🫶

Hello! I'm starting a job in the TMC in October and I am moving from California. I am trying to find an apartment not too far from the TMC and in a safe area. I am 23F and would like to live in a walkable area and possibly catch the metro to go to work. I originally was considering The Hadley in Midtown but I am seeing that Midtown isn't the safest. My budget is 1400/mo for rent. Areas I am considering are Montrose/The Museum District/ maybeee Midtown if someone can convince me its not too bad. I enjoy nightlife and would like to live somewhere in close proximity to it, I'd also like to live somewhere very diverse and safe for a young black professional. Just looking for some insight about these areas and trying to figure out hwat would be the best for me!

I've looked into:

The hadley midtown 
Village at west university 
Jackson hill apartments 
The circle at hermann park

Was looking into places near the medical center, so far have narrowed it down to these places:

Camden Travis Street
Camden Greenway
Camden Plaza
Helix at Med Center
Windsor at West University
MAA Afton Oaks
MAA 510
Bloom at West Univeristy (looks a bit sus tho given the low rent, high availability unit, and little reviews available online)

Any insight or experiences here? I think max I am willing to shell out per month is 1500 total, not including utilities and such.
Thanks :-)
