Houston, Washington Corridor. Planned for summer 2027. Follow the build

A humid Houston-style street at blue hour: live oaks arching overhead, wet pavement, the skyline glowing in haze.

Washington Corridor

Houston is our first chapter. Planned to open summer 2027 on the Washington Corridor.

The facts, so far.

The first EYEGASMS opens in summer 2027 on Houston's Washington Corridor: private salon suites and open stations for independent beauty and grooming professionals, around a lobby guests actually want to spend time in.

Washington is where Houston already goes out: restaurants, bars, patios and late nights, with the Heights, Memorial Park and the studios of the Washington Avenue Arts District close by. It's exactly the kind of social hub we look for. The street address will be shared when it's released.

Opening journal

  • Washington Corridor chosenEYEGASMS Houston will make its home on the Washington Corridor, with opening planned for summer 2027. Founding residency interest and auditions are open.

Houston, in its own words.

Not a theme. A point of view on the city, shaping materials, music, art and programming. Collaborators will be named when confirmed.

  • Parking is part of the plan

    Anyone who's circled Washington on a Saturday night knows why parking is a site requirement for us, not an afterthought. Residents get a reliable way to park and load in; clients get easy drop-off. The specifics will be published with the address.

  • Humidity is a design brief

    Gulf Coast air decides how hair behaves from April to October. Houston professionals already design around it, so we will too: in ventilation, in The Set, and in how finished work is shown off before it meets the street.

  • Slowed, never slow

    Houston gave the world chopped and screwed. The city's sound rewards patience and precision, which is also a fair description of a good fade. Local sound will shape the music direction, with collaborators named when confirmed.

  • Art without a velvet rope

    Some of Houston's most important art is free to walk into, and some of its most influential art spaces were built in neighborhood houses. That's the standard for the walls: local, credited, accessible.

  • A city of every accent

    Houston is one of the most diverse metros in the country. The lineup should look like the city: every hair texture, every skin tone, every discipline, every age.

The day in Houston.

The lobby at night: the chandelier sparkling, red and violet light on the walls, a glamorous crowd talking and laughing, a DJ at the vinyl wall.

Selected evenings with the lights down and the music up.

Programmed nights, announced in Happenings. Not every night, and never at the expense of the work.

We suggest a mood from the local time in Houston. Your choice is remembered.
