    My experience with Robert exceeded my expectations. He was professional, funny, and just a great person to work with. I showed him pictures of the hairstyle/look I was going for and he executed it with care and precision. I'm in love with my new hair and can't wait to strut the streets with this fresh look! P.S. The plants are such a vibe and the Christmas decor is stunning!

    My vibrant ombré hair by Irene
    Elizabeth E.

    For a really long time, I have been wanting to rock vibrant, fashion pink ombré hair, and I decided in autumn 2022 to FINALLY take the dive. As a Yelper, I spent a lot of time researching salons that could make my vision a reality in Austin, and when looking for LGBTQ+ owned salons, I found Apotheca Salon & Barbershop. I immediately noticed the affirming space and pricing for all (including gender neutral bathrooms) on their website and saw that their focus on an all-inclusive space. Plus, their hair photos were super PRETTY. I was sold! One great thing about Apotheca is that they have the amazing Director of Guest and Staff Relations, ~i~, who helps you schedule via text messaging, called to discuss my vision with me, and even sends photos you like to your artist before you come into the salon. The level of detail of communication before I even arrived with ~i~ was outstanding, and that has continued in my visits to the salon as a repeat customer. Back in October, I had my first cut and color with a wonderful artist, Nick, who is no longer with Apotheca as he is now doing real estate. He did a great job with creating my ombré hair with first doing a blonde balayage and then adding the pink, but the pink color he used faded quickly, as it was more of a glaze. I messaged ~i~ about a week later, who quickly told me the salon would get me scheduled with Irene to fix the pink immediately. And that was how I met the visionary, outstanding, kind, and talented artist, Irene. She had prepared a beautiful color chart for me to look at it, and she had a strategy to have the pink/purple go on vibrant and on my blonde ombré for longer for the color to really stay. She also gave me amazing tips on how to wash my hair (COLD AF water, y'all), Aveda products to use, and other things that impact fashion colors like heat or the pool. The color Irene created was stunning, and it lasted for a REALLY long time with her tips. It also grew out beautifully, and people complimented my hair even months later because hints of pink were still there. I returned in January to see Irene again, and this time I asked her to go a bit more pink with a bit less iris, and it looked just similarly stunning. Not only is Irene incredibly talented, but I also love how the Apotheca team communicates with one another, giving each other tips. They are all also genuinely lovely people to chat with like the dedicated founder, Steffan, and Robert, who is a mentor artist, hair guru, world traveler, and a gem of a person. Basically, I cannot say enough stellar things about Apotheca, Irene, and their full team. Whether you just need a blow out for a fun night, to restock your Aveda products, a quick trim, extensions, or want to go for your dream fashion color hair, they are ready to welcome you fully!

    Haircut, treatment and style by Tian
    Nick D.

    I got a haircut, treatment and style here recently from Tian and it's so nice to NOT leave the salon feeling like I'm gonna need to let my hair 'grow back a bit' or 'recover' from a cut, I walked out in a way that I would have styled my hair for going out, it was perfect, literally, the staff were great, the music was great, the vibe was great the price was only like ?? ~$60 ish for the cut I think ? I will definitely be coming back THERE WAS WINE

    Oscar did an amazing cut!! He got me in so quickly and knew exactly what to do! My hair almost looks like it got a revamp in color but nope! Just a cut! It's amazing what a great cut can do for you!! Thanks Oscar! I'll be back!

    I highly recommend Apotheca Salon Barber shop! The salon uses Aveda products and creates a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all clients. Steffan is my go-to for highlights and extensions, but if you are looking for some bold color, you or a shave, he and his team have you covered!

    Hannah did my hair from long to short! Amazing and I love the after! Will definitely come see her again!

    I had an absolutely terrible experience with this barber. From the moment I sat down, it felt like…read morehe was more focused on rushing me out of the chair than actually giving me a decent haircut. Before starting, I showed him photos of exactly what I wanted: a clean high bald fade. I even told him it was totally fine if he didn't want to take it all the way down to the skin if he didn't have the right tools. Instead of listening, he rushed through the entire cut and then had the nerve to tell me, "This is what you get in 30 minutes." At one point he literally showed me a timer he had set for 30 minutes like that somehow justified the quality of the haircut. Then he said if I wanted a better blend I should have booked a beard trim too, which honestly felt like a cheap upsell after already paying a ridiculously high price for the haircut itself. The result? An absolutely terrible fade with harsh lines and almost no blending. It looks nothing like the photos I showed him. For the price he charges, I expected professionalism and basic attention to detail, not to be rushed through like I was on an assembly line. To make matters worse, when he used a straight razor on the back of my neck, he actually cut me multiple times. I left with small nicks and irritation back there, which is completely unacceptable. A straight razor should be used with care, not rushed like everything else during the appointment. I walked out feeling like I had been robbed and honestly embarrassed by how bad the haircut looks. If you value your money and don't want to leave looking like an idiot with a butchered fade--and possibly with cuts on your neck--I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.

    Nick is a great barber and a great guy. I've been coming to Nick for a couple of years, and have…read morereferred multiple friends who are now also regulars. Nick is the real deal, I highly recommend him
