    I've really enjoyed every visit. Drea cuts my hair and I've done a bit of color too. Love this place and recommend to all my friends when they ask me where I get my hair cut. Austin shag queen!

    Drea always brings to life and improves upon the visions I have for my hair. She quite literally uses every tool in her toolbox to deliver the freshest layered and textured mullet that ages beautifully with time. I always feel welcomed in Drea's chair and look forward to returning for my next refresh!

    This salon is a powerhouse of talent and good vibes tucked into a classically Austin building near campus. Drea is a phenomenal artist who takes the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and collaborate to create some actual art on your head. If your hair is your crown, this queen is an expert at fitting it correct.
