    3 hot wellness studios move swiftly into new Heights development

    A new mixed-use development in the Heights has announced its next round of tenants. Three wellness businesses are coming to The Swift BLDG, Houston developers Radom Capital and Triten Real Estate Partners’ project in the historic Swift & Company Packing Plant that’s located near the Heights Hike & Bike Trail.

    They are:
    • SweatHouz, a contrast therapy studio
    • Strong Pilates Studio
    • The Skin Clinic, a Houston-based aesthetics and skincare destination

    Scheduled to open in winter 2026, SweatHouz will offer infrared saunas, cold plunges, and other protocols to improve a person’s well-being. The protocols are focused on areas such as athletic recovery, reducing stress, improving circulation, mental health, and longevity. In addition, it will offer a beauty bar equipped with Dyson hot tolls and a beverage station stocked with different waters.

    Building on the success of its Katy location that opened last year, Strong Pilates Studio will occupy 2,500 square feet in the Swift BLDG. Using Rowformer and Bikeformer machines, customers have the opportunity to take classes in Strong Body, Strong Loaded, and Strong Pilates-Only. It’s expected to open in the fall.

    “Our method blends strength, cardio, and reformer-based training into one, delivering real results in just 45 minutes. This isn’t just Pilates — it’s a new standard for fitness in Houston. And a community that sweats together stays strong,” franchisee Mona Hussein-Zaki said in a statement.

    Currently located in M-K-T, the Skin Clinic will more than double its footprint by relocated to the Swift BLDG. The clinic’s services focus on skin health and rejuvenation. It also expected to open in the fall.

    “The response from this community has been incredible, and Swift gives us the room to grow into what our patients have been asking for: more space, more services, and the same patient-centered care that got us here." founder Kelli Nwuli said.

    All three businesses join previously announced tenants such as Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, premium juice bar Leemoo, Merit Coffee, and Houston Tex-Mex staple Escalante’s.

    On track to open to the public in fall 2026, The Swift BLDG will offer more than 30,000 square feet of office space along with 30,000 square feet of restaurant and retail tenants. The two companies previously partnered on M-K-T, the Heights mixed-use development that’s near the Swift project. Radom is known for a number of other Houston developments, including the Montrose Collective and the historic Tower Theater property and its adjacent buildings.

    Houston's latest salon openings and relocations make it easier than ever to find the perfect stylist.

    Finding a hairstylist can feel a lot like dating. The chemistry has to be just right, communication really matters, and when a client finds "the one," they never want to let go. Fortunately for Houstonians, the city's salon scene is constantly growing and evolving, with new openings, innovative products, and cutting-edge options. Whether it is a subtle change or a total transformation, these Houston salons are ready for what's next.

    Blue Mambo x Hair Craft
    Longtime Houston hair salon Blue Mambo is joining forces with Hair Craft Collective at its 2442 Bissonnet location, and reopening on August 1 as Blue Mambo x Hair Craft. A fixture in Houston's beauty scene for more than 30 years, Blue Mambo joins Hair Craft, a salon known for bold color, creative transformations, and an inclusive approach to stylish hair. The 2,000-square-foot salon will offer precision cuts, dimensional color, customized blonding, extensions, curl cuts, textured hair services, styling, and personalized transformations.

    Evolve Salon (Highland Village)
    Perched above Highland Village, the James Fojt Salon has rebranded itself as Evolve Salon. The Parisian-inspired space features sparkling chandeliers, Venetian plaster walls, herringbone floors, and a ton of natural light. Along with haircuts, color, extensions, makeup, and nails, Evolve recently expanded into skincare with facials, skin-tightening treatments, LED light therapy, nano-infusion therapy, and LipoMelt.

    Factory Salon Heights
    Factory Salon has opened its newest location on 19th Street in the Heights, taking over the former Vanity Salon space. The luxury Aveda salon now has three Houston-area locations, including its Blackhorse and Fairfield outposts. Customers can book haircuts, color, keratin treatments, Brazilian blowouts, facial waxing, eyebrow tinting, and makeup services.

    SalonTrose
    After more than a decade in its quaint 1929 bungalow, SalonTrose has moved into a loft-style space at 1834 Westheimer Road. The woman-owned salon is a member of Houston's LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce and has built a following for being a welcoming space for all. Their 11-person team specializes in personalized color and haircutting techniques, barbering, and organic spray tans.

    Studio A Salon
    After more than 10 years in Rice Village, award-winning Studio A Salon has added a second location in Woodland Heights. New clients can take the salon's online "Meet Your Stylist" quiz to find the best match before booking. Services include haircuts, styling, balayage, color, extensions, bridal hair and makeup, waxing, eyelash extensions, and spa mist deep conditioning treatments.
