Carter is an amazing appointment coordinator/face of the salon. She was really helpful with getting me set up. And when I wasn't over the moon about the blowout, she didn't hesitate at all to make me feel better and find a solution. So many other places would just blame you and say your expectations was off. Then the owner got in touch and I just had a great experience feeling so taken care of.

Madison has cut my hair since I moved to Austin 6 years ago. 15/10 stars. She did a fantastic job on my initial haircut and has only improved over the years. She continues with her education, really listens to you as a client, and EDUCATES on how to style your hair at home! I have wavy hair that turns curly when brush styled. She showed me a new brush that has changed my game. The curls last for days. I'm so grateful and will definitely be making my appointments bi-annually instead of...whenever I can. Even people who don't normally notice curly hair notice mine and compliment it. I can't give her enough credit for how much I love my hair. Definitely see Madison if you can!

Madison was helpful, supportive, and very informative. She handled my difficult hair so well!


Jan 30, 2025

Grace did a great job bringing my hair back to life! She listened, was easy to talk to, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. Will definitely be going back!

Taylor is excellent

Madison is a wizard

Amazing! Andrea really took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave great recommendations, and I love how my hair turned out! The space itself is calming and relaxed, and I love the plants everywhere! I definitely recommend this place to everyone I know!


Jan 06, 2025

Extremely satisfied! This salon and its stylists consistently deliver exactly what I want. As someone with curly, textured hair, I really appreciate how gentle they are and how expertly they manage my hair. I’ve been seeing Kris for years for color, and I always leave thrilled with vibrant, healthy hair. I also want to mention how friendly and welcoming the entire team is—it makes for such a great experience every time!


Jan 06, 2025

Grace was rad and gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had! 12/10 will never go anywhere else.


Jan 06, 2025

Had such a great experience at this salon! Parking instructions on the website were very clear. The receptionist Carter was so sweet and welcoming! And Jace did such wonderful job of listening to me and giving me exactly what I wanted even though I thought my hair texture would never work well with the style I wanted. He really took his time and gave me my favorite haircut I’ve ever gotten. It’s so nice to have someone be able to execute so well. Needless to say I will be coming back again!


Jan 06, 2025

I got a hair cut with Grace! She was really kind and made sure that I was really involved with the process making sure that we were ok the same page on the kind of haircut I wanted. She was also very open and created a space where it felt safe to make requests or changes. Love my hair!


Jan 06, 2025

I had a great experience here! Everyone was super friendly. Grace cut my hair and she did an awesome job! My haircut was exactly what I wanted and she was so nice and great to talk to. Definitely recommend this place:)


Jan 06, 2025

It’s bright and comfy. Love all the plants too.


Jan 06, 2025

Jace is AMAZING. He works magic with long layers & completely rescued my hair after a less than ideal cut. He's meticulous-- by far one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten. Would recommend 10x over!!!


Jan 06, 2025

Jace is hands down my go-to for a haircut. Took me 28 years to see that a razor cut is much kinder to my hair and preferred style. Jace takes his time feeling your hair out, ensuring you get exactly what you’ve asked for. And while some may prefer to gossip at the salon, I quite love his calm quiet demeanor. I’m no talker myself, and feel able to relax and enjoy my haircut without the pressure of making small talk.


Jan 06, 2025

Jenna was incredible!!!! She made time to really consult with me on what I wanted and the end result was perfect, highly recommend her!!! Grace was also amazing, she was so fun to chat with and gave me the perfect refreshing cut! Overall this salon is welcoming, attentive, and really prioritizes customer wants!! Loved it here :)


Jan 06, 2025

Jim did my youngest kiddo’s hair and Taylor did my eldest’s hair. They really listened to what they wanted, patient, and very kind. I see a stylist here already for myself and I will definitely bring them back.


Jan 06, 2025

Jim is absolutely amazing!! Highly recommended!


Jan 06, 2025

Jim is super knowledgable about curly cuts and did a great job, I'd definitely recommend :)

Kasey is wonderful! And I loved the beautiful space. Thanks so much ❤️🙏


Jan 06, 2025

Lyann is the coolest person and she gives a great cut/style! I look forward to seeing her!


Jan 06, 2025

Madison is a curly hair magician- a top notch professional, and a true delight.


Jan 06, 2025

Taylor does a great job. Great haircut. Always remembers all my changing preferences. ; ) Easy to talk with.


Jan 06, 2025

The best salon in Austin! Excellent staff with lots of experience. I highly recommend everyone there! Another terrific color & cut today!


Dec 06, 2024

Easy to coordinate appt between color specialist and cutter. Welcoming. And importantly...superb directions to the doorstep


Dec 06, 2024

From the person that greets you to the time you leave this will be such a great experience for anyone! This shop has the best energy, great location and of course the best curly hair stylist a girl could ask for! Jim you are simply the best! My curly cut was all that and more.


Dec 06, 2024

Grace is the best!!! if you are in the austin area and need a curly cut definitely stop by. best service ever

Grace is the goat!! 10/10 highly recommended


Dec 06, 2024

Great vibe in the salon and Jim is fantastic! Highly recommend giving them a visit!


Dec 06, 2024

I had a wonderful experience! Kasey gave me a cut and shampoo. She is so kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and skilled! I walked out feeling 2 inches taller. I talked with her about what I wanted and showed her pictures. She captured it perfectly. Truly an artist!! 10/10 would recommend. I don’t think I’ll let anyone else do my hair again.


Dec 06, 2024

I have been going to Keith Kristopher for nearly 10 years. Without exception the stylists that I have used for cut and color have been fantastic!! Olivia and Taylor are both professional and listen to your requests. I have recommended both of them to friends who have also been very happy!


Dec 06, 2024

I went in today and had a fantastic cut with Jim. He was very patient and informative. Easily the best cut I have ever had. The salon overall was very clean and organized. The staff were incredibly friendly. If I lived in Austin I would never go anywhere else!


Dec 06, 2024

I’ve been so happy with every haircut I’ve gotten from Jace. Wonderful salon and I love that they have done fundraising events for animal shelters in the past.


Dec 06, 2024

Jim did a great job of cutting my hair. He asked me how I wanted it cut and then cut and styled it beautifully. The next morning when I washed and blew-dry my hair, it fell into place and looked great all day.


Dec 06, 2024

Jim gave me one of the best haircuts I've had in a long time for my curly hair! If you have curls, I highly recommend him—he knows exactly how to work with them.


Dec 06, 2024

Love getting my hair cut with Grace! She does an awesome job


Dec 06, 2024

The environment is calm and welcoming. Staff is always friendly and nice! Hair color appointment with Jenna where she took my wishy washy ideas and created a fantastic color. Hair cut with Grace who actually understands wavy weird hair needs and does an amazing job every time!


Dec 06, 2024

Took my 16 year old son to get his first cut and he absolutely loved it! He had an amazing experience, said all the staff was kind. Thank you!


Nov 06, 2024

Kris and Grace were amazing! I have wanted to go naturally gray for a long time and Kris made my dream come true! She was so kind and explained everything to me! I can't even express how happy I am with my hair! 🩶🖤
