Best Hair Salons In Austin

“Start with this: best haircut I’ve had in Austin. (Tori also goes by Victoria) It’s also nice to not be breathing in chemicals for once. I misread the site and thought I was booked with the wrong person and overcharged. Was sort of miffed, left a review, then the owner called and was so nice and explained everything, plus gave me a refund on some services that I didn’t need to be charged for, and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable that things were good. The nicest people I have ever met and they really didn’t have to be. ❤️“

“the beautiful shop with all the plants, the refreshing beverage to start, the great head massage with other extras during the shampoo, and the Great cuts. it's like a spa treatment!“

“I LOVE my haircut from CiCi and she was so lovely to talk to! I enjoyed my experience so much that I made an appointment for my daughter to see her and I scheduled a follow up appointment as well! She is excellent!!!!! I'd give 10 stars if I could!“

“Amazing experience!! So grateful for Ruby’s advice, experience, working beautiful magic on my hair, and shining kindness ❤️“

“The best hair of my life! Beautiful space with kind people who love their job. Katie West is an artist and all around angel! I couldn’t be happier with my hair!“

“I had the best experience with Zane!!! I had never been to a "real salon" before and was anxiously excited for my appointment. I got some dimensional highlights and a long haircut, and this experience was one of the best/most comfortable experiences I've ever had with a hairstylist. Firstly, the salon itself is so warm and welcoming. You never feel out of place and everyone I interacted with is so incredibly kind. The seats are also very comfortable. Zane was extremely knowledgeable and happily answered all of my questions. It made me absolutely confident that they knew what they were doing and I loved learning more about haircare/coloring/styling. Truly an artist AND chemist haha! They also were super precise and constantly made sure that I was comfortable with what they were doing and I liked it! They were even sweet enough to schedule a follow-up appointment to make some color adjustments after we were done because I was so indecisive and didn't truly know what I wanted until after I saw the end product and realized I wanted more highlights than I initially asked for. Zane also continued to answer my questions after my appointment was over when I was figuring out what color-safe products to use. I'm telling y'all, Zane is SO KNOWLEDGEABLE. The prices were also super fair and Zane made sure to break everything down for me, so I knew exactly what I was paying for and made sure I was comfortable before we started the process. Absolutely no scamming here! I will 100% be returning to Zane specifically for touch-ups and additional cuts. I truly recommend Zane at the Craig Piatti Salon to anyone in Austin looking for a fresh cut or some creative colors!“

“Erin Millington has been cutting my hair for years and is literally the best out there. I trust her with my life (hair)“

“Swoon is my go-to source for haircuts, colors, and styling. I highly recommend this business.“

“i loved the service i got today at Modern Muse! Great haircut, knowlegable and sweet people. I'll keep coming back here!“

“Maddye fixed my terribly botched haircut. She saved my hair, see the pic attached. I can't thank her enough. I would recommend this salon to my friends and family. Kennedy and Maddye were so welcoming and let me come in early to fix it. THANK YOU“

“Drea did a stunning job! This was my first haircut since moving to Austin in late November, and I couldn’t be happier. I found Motive Hair through Instagram—after doing a deep dive on different salons in the area, their page really stood out to me. From the moment I walked in, I felt confident I was in good hands, and sure enough, I left feeling like a brand-new woman. Highly recommend!“

“Always so happy with Tina she is an amazing colorist!!! Also love the gloss she uses on my blonde, it always looks so good :)“

“Lucie is the absolute best! She's been cutting my hair for over a decade. She's so nice, she listens, always prompt, and is very talented. Can't recommend her enough!“

“I've been getting my hair done by Robert and couldn't be happier. I feel like I have found my hair home...He truly takes his craft seriously - always following best practices paying close attention to detail and making sure you get the best possible results. I'm currently getting extensions done and he's earned my complete trust by guiding me through the process and recommending what's actually best for the health of my hair. It's a rare to find someone so professional and passionate about their work. Highly recommend!“

“I don’t even know how to begin describing my experience here but it was a 10/10 the entire way. Maran did such a wonderful job with my hair and I cried with the final reveal.

I went from girl next door to alternative icon and it was exactly what I wanted. Maran listened and adapted when the cut didn’t feel right.When I tell you it was so refreshing after being through 3 previous stylists and resorting to cutting my own hair, my hair reveal was a cool drink of water in this Texas heat.

I would highly recommend her for any LGBTQ folks looking for a safe space to get their hair done.

Considerations when arriving: Parking as this more of a walkable community layout. Additionally, it is a smaller space, but with how friendly everyone was, it was more cozy than cramped.“

“I love the haircut. Micheal did it the exact way I wanted it. Would highly recommend.“

“I struggle to find salons that does a good layered haircut that won’t cost me $80++. Ziba is my go to!! Faraz does the best layered haircuts for only $45!! And he does it in 30mins or less!“

“Great staff. Friendly, inviting space.
My stylist Andrea did a great job and made me feel at ease right away . Enjoyable experience.“

“Switched salons and got a cut with Alicia, who is WONDERFUL. Super talented and very personable and funny. Very happy with my style!“

“If you’ve got curls, Austin Curls is the place to be! Jasmine is an absolute curl wizard—she took the time to give my hair the perfect shape and body while hooking me up with products that totally transformed my routine. Serious game-changer! And shoutout to Taylor for absolutely nailing my highlights; she made the whole experience super fun and gave me exactly what I wanted. The vibe here is so chill and welcoming, you’ll feel right at home. Even my stepmom’s a Jasmine fan now! 10/10 recommend this salon for anyone looking to embrace their curly hair magic. Pictures are before & after.“
