Kerri did a wonderful job adding dimension to my blonde hair with highlights. Thank you!


Feb 01, 2025

I had an amazing experience here. Kylee is extremely talented and sweet and loves what she does and was very thorough and my hair turned out amazing . I will definitely refer people and be back

Rollin is excellent- very concerned about style and preference. The staff is efficient and friendly.

The salon and everyone there are top notch. Tim is awesome, and I love that he doesn't ask me what I want done but instead does what my hair needs. I trust him and that makes for a very relaxing appt.


Jan 29, 2025

Tim and his crew do an amazing job. They are always on time and upbeat. And no one does better short hair in Columbia than Tim!


Jan 29, 2025

Wonderful results as always. Hollie trimmed my bangs and hair this morning. I feel prettier!!! Thanks, Tim & Charleane Shealy and Hollie Rabert and Austral Salon!

1st time back , Kylee cut my hair for the first time great job,


Jan 22, 2025

Another great haircut from Tim! Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my straight, baby fine hair that is so tricky. He’s the best there is.


Jan 22, 2025

Kerri exceeded my expectations on the haircut and color I wanted. She truly is naturally talented at what she does and I do not trust anyone else with my hair! She listened to what I wanted and made me feel so loved 🥰 it is very hard to trust just anyone with my hair.


Jan 22, 2025

Kerri is awesome! I usually cut my own hair because I’m too nervous for tiger people to touch it but decided to give this a try. I showed Kerri a few inspiration photos and got exactly what I was looking for. Never felt so confident. Thank you 🤩🤩

Enjoy my cuts. My stylist Kylee is great


Jan 15, 2025

I have been a client here for about 30 years and wouldn't even consider letting anyone else cut and style my hair.


Jan 15, 2025

I’ve been going to Austral Salon for 4 years now, and let me tell you- this is the best place to get your hair done in Columbia, SC ladies!! The salon is chic, clean, and very modern. The staff are exceedingly accommodating and are very thorough in their techniques. I HIGHLY recommend going to Austral Salon, especially if you are a student or have moved to Columbia and need an awesome new salon!


Jan 15, 2025

Kylee is literally the only person I trust to touch my hair. She’s the best!!


Jan 08, 2025

Kerri provided an amazing haircut and balayage, and was super kind and thoughtful throughout my appointment. I’m happy with the results and highly recommend her services and Austral Salon!


Jan 08, 2025

Kylee is amazing! Drive from 2 hours because she is perfection!


Jan 05, 2025

Great warm and inviting environment. Pleased with my color and cut with Arden. Will be back every 8 weeks!!!


Jan 05, 2025

This place is unprofessional totally botched my haircut (Kylee was my stylist) they were very inconsiderate of how I was feeling. I would recommend going somewhere else.


Jan 05, 2025

Carson was very pleasant and cut my hair beautifully. I’ll be returning to the salon to see her again in about 6 weeks. Love the service and all that work there.


Jan 05, 2025

For the best short pixie, gotta go to Tim!


Jan 05, 2025

Great service! Great hair cut! Nice place, very clean and upscale. Have been going here for 5 years now and have never been disappointed. The stylists are very talented and professional. Arden usually cuts my hair, and she is just wonderful.


Jan 05, 2025

I get my hair cut by Karsyn and she does a great job on my hair!!!


Jan 05, 2025

I had a fantastic experience at Austral salon during an appointment for a blowout today. I always have wonderful appointments and outcomes with Karsyn, she does my highlights and haircuts, and Hollie who did my blowout. They’re both phenomenal and wonderful people to chat with and experience hair care with. I highly recommend going to Austral salon and seeing both of them!


Jan 05, 2025

KYLIE DID A GREAT JOB !


Jan 05, 2025

Love Austral Salon!! All of their staff are amazing and Tim is simply the best😊


Jan 05, 2025

The best salon ever! Charleane's warmth and welcome add a sweet touch of Southern Hospitality to the salon and Tim Shealy's expertise and artistic ability come through every time I get my pixie trimmed! An upscale salon with great, friendly staff.


Jan 05, 2025

Tim is the best. I am 71 y/o and I have been to many salons. I always come back to Tim. I finally have a cut that works for both of us. Thank you Tim and happy new year.


Dec 05, 2024

Arden did a great job on my color and cut today. I enjoy the salon; it's comfortable, very spacious and clean. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new experience.


Dec 05, 2024

Austral Salon is a cut above everyone else. Friendly, professional staff and skilled stylists make the difference.

Do not go here! I had a terrible experience. I booked a “Balayage Blowstyle” with Kylee and left with an uneven bleach job and no blowstyle. When my toner was applied it was immediately rinsed off and she claimed my hair was not taking the toner. This caused my hair to end up with different colors. She then blamed the results on my hair because she claimed that my hair was so damaged. But if that was the case, why she did agreed to take me on as a customer in the first place? I left with multiple colors and half dried hair, and extremely unsatisfied! After I expressed my displeasure, the salon did not attempt to rectify the situation. The only thing in my eyes that would rectify the situation is a full refund!
