Erin Millington is a 10/10!!! I’ve been getting blonde highlights with her for years. Erin is super talented and always knows exactly how to refresh my color. Wouldn’t dream of going to anyone else in Austin! Best there is!


Dec 06, 2024

Got a men's haircut from Julianne, and she did a fantastic job. Great attention to detail and cares about the end result.


Dec 06, 2024

Roxy is the best ever. She did my hair for both my engagement photos and my wedding, and my sister’s (my matron of honor). Highly HIGHLY recommend. She listens, truly is an artist, and makes every experience I come a time to never forget. Forever grateful to have found her!


Dec 06, 2024

Vina is awesome! She is great with reference photos, is super fun to talk to, and always makes me feel heard so that I’m getting what I want. I’ve been going to her for about 6 months now and have always left happy!


Nov 06, 2024

Erin is hands down the best hairstylist I have ever had an Austin. I go for my color, highlights and cut and I leave so happy every time. She takes her time and really focuses on making me leave super happy! I’d give her a 10 star if I could!


Nov 06, 2024

I have been seeing Roxy at Roar for a couple of years now and she is the absolute best! She takes time to learn about her clients and thoroughly discuss what you want to do with your hair. She listened to my concerns about my growing bald spot and was able to offer a hair care plan to help my hair become more healthy. Her haircuts and beard trims are always detailed and I leave feeling confident! It took me a long time to find someone in Austin I could trust with my hair…Roxy is knowledgeable, kind and the haircuts are always on point! The knowledge and time Roxy brings to the haircut makes it worth every penny.


Nov 06, 2024

I have been seeing Roxy at Roar for three years now, and have had the best experience. I've changed my hairstyle a couple times out of indecision, and when I finally nailed down the style I wanted, Roxy helped me coax my hair back into shape. Now, we do a hair growth treatment and general reshaping of my angled bob with side swoop bangs. Bonus: we get to talk about our cats, food, and travel when I'm in her chair. Roxy is incredibly knowledgeable of her craft, is dynamite with blades of any kind and a blow dryer, I always feel relaxed while there, and I always leave looking gorgeous.


Nov 06, 2024

I have had an amazing few years with Roxy! She is extremely professional and does an amazing job with my beard and long curls! I would absolutely recommend her as a stylist!


Nov 06, 2024

My experience with Vina at ROAR has been incredibly positive across roughly ten visits. Vina has great styling and haircut suggestions. I've been very happy with my haircut each time – they’re the best I’ve had in Austin and in years – and will continue returning. 5/5 haircut and experience


Nov 06, 2024

Roxy C has been my stylist for over 3 years now. She cuts so well and always listens and explains how to achieve the look I’m going for. She is so sweet and chill which I appreciate. Book her and you won’t regret it!


Nov 06, 2024

Roxy at ROAR Salon has been my trusted go-to stylist for over three years now. I have had scary experiences in the past when it comes to hair coloring and when I went to her, she was fully transparent about exceptions of process and how to safely get me to where I want without damaging my hair along the way. I always wanted to have blonde and she got me there! I felt SO good to have healthy and beautiful blonde hair. I also am obsessed with the fall season color look she gave me when I was ready to move away from blonde. I will neverrrr go to anyone else. If anyone is looking for a stylist who is familiar with working with curlier/ thick hair, wants to go blonde or take blonde away safely, loved feeling taken care of and wants to have their stylist understand their vision and turn it into beautiful art……then Roxy is your person!!! 💗


Nov 06, 2024

Roxy at Roar is absolutely amazing! She is very personable and always makes me feel super comfortable. My hair was an a total wreck and now, thanks to Roxy, looks great and is healthier than it has ever been.


Nov 06, 2024

Roxy has been my hair stylist for 3 years now at Roar salon. Her precision to detail is unmatched, and really takes time to get to know you and your hair. Trust her always. We’ve been through long and short hair together, and with mine being extra thick I need someone I can trust.


Nov 06, 2024

Roxy has been my hairstylist for the past 3 years. She has brought innovative colors and cuts along with a comforting atmosphere. Never pressured to do something I'm uncomfortable with but always willing to do the best for me. Roxy gives me the confidence to try new colors and cuts all while educating myself with the new practices she learns. I highly recommend her for someone with questions. Roxy gives all her clients the best atmosphere to give them the confidence to go out and slay the day. Thank you Roxy!


Nov 06, 2024

Roxy is amazing. Thanks for always listening to what I want and talking with me through the process. Not only have I had the pleasure of sitting in her chair at Roar. She has worked with my schedule and come to me. Very punctual & its always a great experience. 10/10


Nov 06, 2024

Roxy is the absolute best.


Nov 06, 2024

Roxy is the best barber in town and always honing her craft. Haven’t been to another barber in 5 years. Great beard trims too


Sep 05, 2024

I got a cut with Vina and I loved it. I went in just to cut bangs, but when she saw my hair she suggested a full haircut, and I'm so glad I went with it. She gave me a style I've never had before, and it was the best cut I've had in a long time, with many different stylists, too (I live in NYC). A week and a half and a handful of washes later, I'm still really happy. The salon itself is cute, and Vina was so friendly and trustworthy. I also appreciate how she trusted me in return--sometimes haircutters don't give me what I'm asking for (maybe they try to give me something they think will look better!) but Vina rolled with it, and I had a great experience.


Aug 05, 2024

Erin Millington is an absolute gem! She is The most talented stylist ever. I can say this with certainty, as I have received cuts and color from her over the years. On occasion, I have gone to other stylists all over Austin. Although most of the other stylists were indeed lovely, only one other could hold a candle to Erin. She has consistently dazzled me with her expertise and I thank God every time I see her because I know I will feel like a beauty queen by the time she works her magic on my fine, curly and stubborn hair!


Aug 05, 2024

I can't say enough good things about Vina Jane at Roar Salon! She is a master at creating incredible blonde shades and super stylish haircuts. Whether you're looking for a classic cut or something more adventurous like fun colors or fairy hair, she delivers with creativity and skill. Every appointment with Vina is such a fantastic experience. Her chair is where style meets fun, and I always leave feling amazing. If you're in search of a stylist who can bring your hair dreams to life, look no further than Vina at Roar Salon!


Aug 05, 2024

Update with the finished look. Vina did such a great job!!! My hair is amazing, I could not be happier! She is just the sweetest, and she's great at what she does. Book with her and let her work her magic! 😍😍


Jul 05, 2024

Been looking for a new stylist and have been having a hard time finding someone that I like and that actually ever has any availability. Ended up with Vina on a whim and she did a great job! Last few cuts I've had haven't been great so it was nice to finally walk away happy with how my hair looks. Will definitely book with Vina again!


Jul 05, 2024

I believe (and my sister confirmed) that this is the best hair cut and color that I have ever had in my life. Mercedez is brilliant— a true chemist with coloring—and also very down-to-earth. She is wise in her approach, has a fantastic temperament, and handles her clients like one would expect of a veteran-stylist. I cannot recommend Mercedez and her services enough. As such, I have already sent my friends her contact information. While admittedly I normally put-off going to the salon for as long as possible, I am so pleased with my hair that I will return very soon.


Jul 05, 2024

I’ve had my haircut by Mercedez twice now. She is consistent in achieving the look that I want! The Salon is Beautiful and rejuvenating. Will be back soon!!


Jul 05, 2024

Mercedez was amazing!! She made my hair look so much healthier! I got so many compliments on my hair cut! Definitely going back to see her!


Jul 05, 2024

Vina is AMAZING! Such a chill vibe at ROAR, felt very welcoming and my stylist was so sweet. I have a LOT of hair and rarely let anyone other than me touch it, but I am very glad I trusted Vina. If you need vivid colors she is THAT girl!! 😍 Even beyond the fun color, my hair is dark and very long and she got such a nice even lift in one round of bleach which speaks to her skill and timing of application. I've been doing vivid colors on my hair for 10 years, I know a good bleach job when I see one! Cannot wait to come back and get some more color done! Thank you so much! ♥️ (PS can I make it any clearer, BOOK WITH VINA ☺️)

Vena Jane was excellent! She has a very calming and relaxed presence, while still being personable. I’ve had many somewhat poor experiences with other stylists who didn’t quite listen to what I was asking for, neglecting my desire for lighter roots or not considering my hair type fully, but my hair came out PERFECT with Vena! It’s got depth, character, bounce- she actually knows how to cut wavy hair and how to add the most beautiful dimensions. I’m thrilled with my experience and felt super confident starting my new job. I will be back! Thank you VJ!!!


May 05, 2024

I love this salon so much It took a few experiences around Austin to find the perfect place for me and this is it! Vina is the best!!! She always listens to exactly what I want for my hair and makes it happen. I appreciate that she is detail oriented and such a pleasure to talk to! The salon is clean, aesthetically pleasing and easy to book and manage appointments with. All the staff is friendly and It doesn’t feel like a judgmental environment which can be hard to find in higher end salons They also use very high quality products and I always leave happy I highly recommend trying Roar especially if you live downtown, you will not regret it!

I recently moved to Austin a few months back and was having issues finding a decently good consistent stylist. My cousin recommended Roxy at ROAR. Which was recommended to her by her stylist Christina which is also at ROAR. Christina does wonders on my cousins hair and is an extremely friendly and sweet person. This post isn’t about Christina though it’s about Roxy, since she’s the one who cuts my hair. I just really love this place, the environment, and everyone there. Anyways Roxy cuts my hair every week, since I started going to her. I get multiple compliments a day every where I go. She’s a very detailed perfectionist and it really shows on her work. I’ve never been more happier with a stylist in my life than I have with her. She’s super duper cool, down to earth, extremely intelligent, and has an awesome personalty. I always have a great experience every appointment I’ve had with her. I look forward to many more to come. For you decent looking or ugly guys out there, GO SEE ROXY, she’ll easily add 2-3 points to your 1-10 scale, boost your confidence, and you might actually having a chance of getting laid in life after she’s done working her magic.

This is a great salon, such a professional and welcoming atmosphere. Vina is awesome, she is so talented and always does an amazing job on my hair! Her cuts look great every time and also continue to grow in so well between visits. Plus she’s such a fun and lovely person to talk to, I always enjoy going in. Highly, highly recommend!


May 05, 2024

Vina was so sweet and fun and did an amazing job at chopping my hair off! I asked for a blunt cut bob, and she delivered. 10/10 recommend!


Apr 05, 2024

Had a great experience here today with Vina. Loving my new hairstyle. I had a cut and root touch up today. I definitely recommend this place and I will be back again.


Apr 05, 2024

Vina is awesome !!! Super cool vibe and did an amazing job with my hair! My hair is super long and thick and she thinned it out perfectly. Definitely recommend !


Mar 06, 2024

I absolutely love everyone there. You start building friendships with everyone there. Rory is phenomenal with hair color and Julieanne is an unbelievable hair dresser. I had a fear of cutting my hair ever since I was little due to an experience I had gone through. I never trusted anyone to touch my hair. Rory and Julianne has helped me to face my fear.... I truly appreciate them both. Im huge on reviews and when I looked up Roar and seen the reviews I had to try it. Omg! I will not go anywhere else! They helped me with my transformation and they cut about 17-18 inches off and changed my hair color. I've had nothing but compliments.. I wanted to share my before and after pictures..


Mar 06, 2024

I started my hair renewal journey this year with Roxy and let me tell you…game changer. I was doing my own hair for 3 years at home to save money and because I honestly didn’t find myself happy with my past stylists but Roxy is incredible. She’s absolutely amazing! So professional while also being so welcoming and kind. She walked me through every step and I left the salon so happy. 10/10 would recommend.


Feb 06, 2024

I cannot rave enough about this salon! Erin was and will forever be my stylist!!!! First, the location may be in a busy area but the salon is placed in a scenic area of the street and the inside of the salon is has the perfect ambience for relaxation. I received an all over color with extentions that have heads turning my way!!! But it was the service I received that I appreciate the most. Erin made me feel so welcomed and informed me of the processes and how to take care of the services I received. The icing on the cake was the final results! If you want to feel and LOOK like a MILLION BUCKS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ERIN at ROAR SALON!!!


Feb 06, 2024

I've been a completely delighted client for over 10 years. Rory and his team are nothing short of superb, always professional, kind, and timely. I feel very lucky to be among their clients and highly recommend.


Feb 06, 2024

Rory from ROAR keeps me on point. Hands down the best colorist and salon owner in town. I refer all of my clients to him and the stylists in his shop are also phenomenal. 10/10 recommend.
