Debra Pak, former manager of a high end Dallas salon, promises to provide the same high standards and customer service offered at her Allure Magazine rated "Number 1 Colorist" salon.

We offer everything you need, from hair and nails to facials and massages. No need to run around town to get pampered from head to toe.

Our goal is to help our clients look their best, not only when they leave our salon but until their next visit as well. Healthy, beautiful hair, skin and nails isn't achieved just by visiting a salon once a month, but through proper care. We recommend the proper products,techniques and care for our client's condition and service. Don't worry, we are not just pushing product...we offer plenty of free tips and advice as well.

You might be wondering why we are named Shear Heaven Salon "at Windsor." The Windsor is in fact an upscale senior living residence, occupying what was once a Sheraton hotel. But, don't let the stigma of a senior home scare you away. The Windsor is a lively community with an elegant atmosphere, professional staff and friendly residents. The salon is located near the concierge desk in the lobby of Windsor.

Upon entering our salon, our vibrant, trendy atmosphere will make you forget that you are not in a typical salon in a typical retail location. Our tranquil, private spa room will melt your cares away.

Our unique situations provides us with low overhead, allowing us to offer high end salon services at affordable prices.

DART Senior Citizen Annual Pass

DART's new pass makes it easier than ever for riders 65 years of age and older to get around town for work or play.

No need to buy passes on a daily or monthly basis. For just $384, you get a full year of outstanding services aboard DART, the TRE and The T.

This new pass will only be available at the DART Store, located in the lobby of DART headquarters at Akard Station in downtown Dallas. Store hours are 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Senior Citizen Annual Pass is considered a Regional Pass. That means it's valid on all DART and TRE services, plus The T in Fort Worth. This includes all buses, DART Rail (Red, Blue and Green Lines), the TRE from downtown Dallas to downtown Fort Worth, DART On-Call and FLEX services.

DART buses and trains connect you to the area's top attractions, places like the Dallas Zoo, American Airlines Center, the AT&T Performing Arts Center, the Dallas Museum of Art, NorthPark Center, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and many more. Plus, it's a great way to run your every day errands, from the grocery store to the doctor - and everywhere in between. Or, take DART on an adventure and explore the area with your grandchildren.

VIP Services - Painting and Improvments

Any house painter or remodeling company can say they have experience. We’ll prove it to you.

Our written processes are setting the standard. We developed a detailed preparation and painting procedure for a typical home. After eight years of experience — and after painting hundreds of homes — we believe our process will ensure that your home will be painted or your remodeling will be completed on time and for the price quoted — and your expectations will be met.

By providing each homeowner we meet our written processes, they can easily understand the cost of painting their home and compare our proposal with another proposal.

Unfortunately, there are some painting contractors who won’t provide you with their written process because they don’t want to be held to such a consistent standard. Avoiding those contractors is a smart move.
