Overpriced. Cost of services not posted anywhere and not up-front about it. Towels were old and dingy- if you're going to charge like a high end salon then the experience should feel like a high end salon. Product pushing and no credit cards allowed. read more

She gave my a horrible haircut, and charged me extra for the length and density of my hair. I do have a lot of hair but she did a horrible job, I haven't been able to wear my hair down since. read more

Mehri was a delight! She was understanding about my needing to reschedule and has years of experience and truly cares about her craft!

Mehri is amazing. I've been going to her salon for several years now. At this point I go there and I say "Do whatever you want. I trust you completely to make me look beautiful " She has recommended the best products too which has helped the health of my hair tremendously. When I have last second hair emergencies and I need my hair styled for an event, she has been there in an instant to schedule me in. In addition to all her amazing skills, she's also so much fun to talk to. Very knowledgeable and personable! I look forward to continuing to have her as my stylist for a long time! The picture I've included was a photoshoot she helped me get ready for) read more

This is my second time with Mehri. I am so happy. My hair was boring and I straightened it because I felt overwhelmed learning how to curl. My hair would never hold the curls and I don't like a lot of product. She gave me simple layers while keeping my length, showed me a simple, fast technique to curl, she didn't use extra product, and my hair has held the curls all day. My bf said it's beautiful, that I almost look like a different person, he has watched me struggle with terrible salons and scalp damage. He's so very pleased and I am too. I'll be a client for as long as she let's me. read more

Found this place on Group On. I called her to see the availability for a hair cut, she asked me not to buy groupon because I could pay the same price in Salon. She is a nice lady, knows what she is doing with hair but I am disappointed in her Business ethics. I am not a "looking for bargain person" but I looked up for a good place on groupon to possibly find a good hair stylist I could see on regular basis. After my haircut, I told her to add a $15 tip and she said "Well I will have to charge you more because of the length of your hair" ???????? That already ticked me off. I did not say anything and I let her do what she wished to charge me. Long or short hair, it's just a trim. Plus she had an asking price on groupon already. So three things here to notice; 1: she asked me to not purchase a groupon because she could honor me the same price in Salon which she didn't. 2: She wasn't transparent about the price she would charge me beforehand. She just imposed it upon me when she had my credit card in her hand. She didn't tell me how much extra was she going to charge? 3: I added a nice tip despite her unprofessional job because she did not dry my wet, water dripping hair. I have never had this unprofessional service where I had to leave a salon with water dripping hair. It is a given at any Salon you go to, to atleast run a hair dryer over your hair. Conclusion: She lost me as a client. I spend quite a bit on my hair on regular basis and I was actually looking for a new hairstylist but with that kind of sneaky business tactic I am sorry, NEVER AGAIN! LOL! After reading other reviews with 1 star, it's clear that she has done this to many others. To me it doesn't matter you cheat for a dollar or for hundreds or thousands. Cheating is cheating. And It can be a biggest pet peeve for some, no matter how good and talented of a hair stylist you are, I will never be going here again. This is pathetic. Now in response to your reply: IT WAS A SIMPLE TRIM. And I will have to restate it again that people buy Groupon to try out new business and service please don't give a wrong impression to your potentially new customers. I gave you a tip of $15 and later you said "I will have to charge you more for your length" on which I did not say a word to you but yes I questioned in my head your way if doing business. I am not the only one who this happened to. You have several other reviews stating the same problem. read more

I really wanted to leave a good review coz she seemed like a nice person. But at the end of it I not just felt cheated, I didn't get what I wanted. I wanted my hair shorter in the back and longer in front. I showed a picture of the haircut before she started. Reminded her while and asked her to fix it after. She just wouldnt do it. At the end she said it's an old style and people dont do that anymore. I didnt insist after hearing that because I thought maybe she didnt know how and I didnt want my hair messed up. Then came the pricing. I went in without buying a groupon coz she said she would honour the groupon pricing. I told her I wanted full highlights and showed her a picture of what I wanted. She said that this was balayage and painted my hair. When it was time for billing, she charged me $70 extra and added balayage as another option in groupon while I was getting it done!!! She did a good job with facial wax and eyebrows. The highlight looked very good. The haircut was terrible. And the pricing made me feel cheated. Will never visit her salon again. read more

Purchased a Groupon for a haircut/ deep conditioning treatment. $32. All I needed was a simple trim , no color , no highlights,no styling etc. I have long hair so she was going to charge me an extra $25 OR MORE( her words) I've been to many salons and been charged more for color/highlights due to having long hair but not for a trim. At least she was up front about it, but then what is the purpose of the Groupon? You will be charged more anyway without any additional services. From reading other reviews it looks like I would have been charged extra to have my hair dried as well. Don't know She would have taken me seriously anyway due to another reviewer saying that the business doesn't give time or attention to those that use Groupon. Not sure what that is about. Thanks anyway!! read more

Mehri was amazing with giving me everything I wanted and she definitely had my hair in much better shape than I left with. The color was on point and she was super nice and attentive. Glad to say I found my hairstylist in the Austin area ! Reasonable pricing and she's very experienced. read more

I got a haircut from Image Hair Salon right down the street. They were careless and did a terrible job. My hair and bangs were uneven and it looked so bad that I can't wait any longer to get it fixed. I called Mehri the next day to schedule an appointment and she had me in her salon about 45mins later. I told her what happened and she comforted me and ensured that she can fix it. Mehri did such a great job fixing my hair and made me feel so much better. She suggested biotin for my hair. I left her salon feeling so much better, my hair looks much much better. **on the side note: She even called me after to tell me which gas station has gas after I complained about gas shortage and my fiancé's car was empty.** read more

Had went back to get my hair color retouched and Mehri has done another awesome job!! Very happy with how my hair looks!! She pays attention to detail and takes her time to provide really wonderful results! I will continue to come back to her!! read more

I had such a great experience with Mehri. Not only did she work me in at short notice, but she did a fabulous job on my hair. I really wanted a change and she offerred lots of suggestions to help me decide what to get. Mehri delivered fabulous highlights and a great cut. My visit was much shorter than I thought it would be and I was able to use one of her Groupon deals as well. Now she's my new go-to stylist! I am adding a few photos, even though they honestly don't do her coloring work justice. If you are looking for a stylist who has tons of experience and listens to her clients, I recommend you go see Mehri. read more

Mehri is AMAZING. Was my first visit with her yesterday and she is so nice and talented. I went in with ugly, I mean ugly hair. I had let my gray grow out and she did an amazing job putting in a whole head of hi-lites. I love the colors. Yes I said colors, plural. She is very reasonable with prices too!! Your search for a great stylist is over. read more

Beauty Gallery - Love my hiltes from Mehri. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was considering purchasing a Groupon for this salon, so I scheduled a color consultation appointment online to see what type of service I actually needed. Unfortunately, the online scheduling service was experiencing issues, but I got Mehri on the phone the next morning. She was more than willing to meet me even though it was such short notice, she also honored the Groupon price for partial highlights. I've had some trouble finding a great stylist that I'd be willing to return to, but she was awesome! I even booked my next appointment with her that day. I have no problem with driving the 30 plus minutes it takes to get to her salon because it's worth it! read more

I'm so glad I found Mehri! I'm pretty new to the area and desperately needed a hairstylist I could trust. I read the good reviews and the bad and decided to give her a try anyway. I'm so happy that I did because she did a beautiful job on my hair! She also managed to fix my messed up brows. Her prices are fair, especially for how much time she spends making sure she did her job and that you like it. Thank you Mehri!! read more

I've gotten my haircut at many different places, and still I've never got charge extra because my hair is long just for a cut. Also my hair isn't even thick. When she was done I barely saw any hair on the floor! I've cut my hair at Walmart and it came out better. What are you talking about cowlick?! Your a professional you should know how to cut hair w all that experience with or without blow drying my hair. And!!! You did blow dry my hair....that's why I don't understand how you didn't see it. I don't have a cowlick that would pull my hair up that short and uneven. So to any ppl reading this review have you ever been charged extra because your hair is longer for a cut? Have you also ever been charged extra just to blow dry your hair? I paid over 50 dollars to her because my hair was just a lil pass the middle of my back and I only cut off maybe 3 inches. Wait she cut off 2 inches on one side and 4 on the other" oh and my hair has a very big cowlick that's why it's sooo uneven! Okay sure. Also" I have straight hair.. anymore exuses?? Don't go to her, she's full of excuses. She should be charging 6 dollars for her haircuts. read more

You could drive right by this place and miss it. But please don't!! I have been a dedicated customer since my first visit. Mehri is so wonderful. I referred a close friend who had been traveling to South Austin to get her hair cut by a trusted stylist and didn't dare switch. She went to Mehri and is now a loyal customer as well. read more

I've been trying to get someone to get my blonde right for almost 2 years now and Mehri is the first person to ever get it exactly how I want it. She is so friendly, I immediately felt comfortable with her, and the salon is great! So glad I finally found my go to stylist! read more

Beauty Gallery - Mehri worked wonders on my hair! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been living in Texas for 2 years now and am so thankful to have finally found an expert hairstylist!! Mehri got me in for a hair consultation the same day and listened to me and answered all my questions. I had a terrible experience at Brian Charles hair studio nearly 2 years ago and left that salon with fried hair. Over the last 2 years I've lost so much hair due to it falling out and haven't been able to color my hair blonde since. Last week, I was finally at a place where I was ready to start working my way back to the blonde I had before Brian Charles and was so nervous about it. I searched through yelp to find someone who seemed like a match for what I needed and found Mehri and I'm so happy I did!! She did an amazing job making me blonde again without compromising the integrity of my hair. If you're a blonde and in need of a hair stylist go to Mehri!! Thank you Mehri for making me blonde again. read more

Mehri saw me with no notice and did a great cut. Clean space, easy parking. Knows her way around a pair of scissors.

Very happy with the outcome!! I was super nervous and took a leap of faith and it was worth it! Mehri did a wonderful job on my cut, highlight, and style. She was very informative and you can tell she takes pride in her work. I would trust sending my family and friends to her anytime. I found my new stylist after a couple years of searching since moving to the area. She inspired me to keep my hair looking awesome! read more

Mehri is amazing! I had gotten a bad hair cut a few months back and was absolutely terrified to go to another salon. My ends had HAD it and my hair became a horribly wreck. Mehri fixed me up with a nice cut, and now I am absolutely in love with my hair! Thank you for being a miracle worker with my hair! Also, she cut it on a Sunday evening! She's very accommodating to random schedules! read more

Mehri is AMAZING! Not only did she take my appointment late in the day/same day appointment, she completely transformed my hair from dull and damaged to STUNNING highlights and beautifully deep conditioned hair and a haircut to WOW about!! I could not be happier! She is so sweet and truly listens to her clients wants and needs... Highly recommend!! read more

I went in for an ombre, but somehow left with highlights. The stylist did a nice job with the highlights (although they were a bit chunkier than I like) it just wasn't quite what I wanted. I was also really taken aback by the cost. The price range is listed as $$ (moderate), which is the same as another salon I go to. For a trim and highlights it was $275 (not including tip). I suppose it's my fault for assuming the prices would be comparable, but I was very put off by that. The stylist was very nice, however, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I wanted to dye my hair light brown instead of the orange/blonde I had. I thought Mehri would strip the color first but she didn't. She put the light brown color on top of the orange/blonde color. I paid a lot of money for this. I did everything she said to do. Use purple shampoo meant for blondes, get an expensive conditioner, and don't use the shampoo and conditioner I use because she didn't know what it was (OGX). Unfortunately my hair turned green instead of staying light brown. The purple shampoo she offered me and I ended up buying stripped the brown and made it green. I was so upset. Luckily, I was able to find a different place and have it fixed for less money. read more

Recently moved to Austin and after reading comments on yelp and being 4pm on a Saturday afternoon, it got me to Mehri, she is amazing, she got exactly what I asked for she takes her time, she is very sweet and easy to talk. I'm definitely going back, price was good, everything in general great! And most important she fixed the horrible horrible hair cut I've gotten the day before somewhere else. If you are looking for a friendly hairstylist that knows what she is doing and listens to you she is the one to go to! You won't regret it. read more

Today was my first time at the salon. Mehry was totally amazing!!! She is very nice and easy to talk to. I didn't really know how I wanted my hair to be cut but she knew exactly what to do and it came out amazing!! She took time and gave me advise to how I can maintain my hair in good condition. I am definitely coming back! Price is very decent too! read more

I just had my first hair cut from Mehri & she is amazing! I loved the haircut & I love the way my hair looks. She is an expert in this field & would definitely recommend her. Thanks Mehri for the new look you have given me read more

Mehri is a great hair stylist! My blonde highlights turned out beautiful. If you are looking for a stylist who really takes their time and listens to exactly what you want, give her a try! She didn't rush, or rip through my tangle mess of hair :) Thank you, I will be back! read more

So imagine that you are new to Austin. Who do you trust when you have a job interview around the corner. My hair is half brown half white. And I want to add lilac purple highlights to my hair. Who do you trust to pull that off when you have a job interview around the corner? My perspective is that I'm tired of the charade of keeping up with an overall color the gray thing. My dark roots seem to show about 2 days after coloring it, so what's the point? I want to embrace the gray, see? Adding color highlights to the gray and lowlights to the darker hair in the back gives the the lift that I need to compete with younger job applicants. Mehri did not disappoint. In fact, the time -which usually goes slow for me - went very fast. I got the exact color I wanted, and feel like I made a new friend. Great talent, super conversation. Try Mehri when your soul needs a lift. read more

Mehri was kind and professional. That is the only positive. She started to move too quickly towards the end and didn't give my hair near enough time to process in the last section she applied bleach to. It's an awful color orange. She tried to compensate by over doing the toner and focusing on the areas that she knew weren't processed. I didn't notice until I styled my own hair later and she only toned the heck out of the top to conceal that it was orange underneath. We spoke at length about how I wear my hair up a lot and how important it was for my hair not to be brassy. This is beyond brassy. As if its not bad enough that she rushed me out to go do her own errands and left my hair like this, but she is not responding in my efforts to have her correct it. So now I'll have to pay someone else to fix her mistakes. What's worse about having to pay someone else is I had a groupon for the color and cut and she charged me the groupon and 100% more of the value because I have a lot of hair. Not long hair but thick. She never mentioned the would be an additional charge at any point until she went to charge me. I've become accustomed to having to pay an extra $20 or $30, but never ever has someone had the audacity to charge me $75. Its criminal what she is doing and had she told me when I sat down how much more she would charge I would have left immediately. Don't waste your time, the end result is not worth the expensive price paid and its extremely deceitful. read more

Mehri did not honor my Groupon price like she said she would. She charged me much more and did not tell me until it was time to pay at the end. My hair turned out just ok and I was unhappy with the many "surprise charges". She also admitted to not giving time and attention to people that use Groupon. read more

I LOVE Mehri!!! I have had one hair cut in Austin before which I thought was good, however my sister continued to complain of how awful it was! Finally moved to Austin 1 month ago, and had to find someone who knew how to cut their hair!!! I have had the same hair stylist for 10 years and was so sad I had to find a new one. I am thrilled a friend of mine recommended Mehri, as she did wonders to my hair!!! I am definitely coming back, and will recommend anyone who wears hijab/covers to come to her. she has a cute set up which is very private and you feel like you are at home! A gem in Austin I am lucky to have, and it makes it feel like home even more now :) read more

Loved Mehri. Used my Groupon yesterday and the value was great. She did a very nice job on my highlights and cut ...I am going back. She also does a very good job with eyebrow and face waxing! read more

I purchased a Groupon haircut/color package with Beauty Gallery stylist Mehri. I initially requested an appt for Wednesday, Dec. 14th at 10am but Mehri asked me if I could make appt for Tuesday instead because she had another appt on Wednesday, another unconfirmed appt on Wed., so I reluctantly accommodated stylist's request and went in on Tuesday morning at 10am for style/haircut/color. I'm writing this review because of what happened during this appointment. Mehri spoke incessantly about her political feelings about Donald Trump, spoke disparagingly of current clients who were Trump supporters, made several indirect references to my age (I'm a 56 year old Mexican-American woman) looked at me in disapproving manner, spoke in angry tone to Iranian co-worker outside salon room I was in, was washing hair color out of my hair when her next appt. arrived and, still needing to cut and style my hair, suggested I wait in lobby with my hair wet while she attended to next customer and then, when it was time to pay I was so stressed out from stylist's unprofessional behavior and concerned about hair color (too blonde highlights for my color complexion), ended up paying double the amount due to having forgotten I had already paid her through Groupon. You see, by that point, I was practically running out of the building from experience with this stylist vowing never to return, so awful was the experience. I realized I paid this stylist twice for hair package only Sunday night when I was balancing my bank account/check book. Double payment happened because in addition to everything I've just described, Mehri expressed difficulties with Groupon order confirmation process (though I provided her Groupon order number and smart phone digital screen confirmation of order). Groupon confirmation difficulties were then extended to her debit machine when machine wouldn't accept my card forcing her to enter card number manually. These additional inconveniences/difficulties distracted me to such an extent that I had forgotten I had already paid for services. The cost of the Groupon package was $69 and an extra $10 was added to allow for coloring of some gray hair which increased the package price to $79 (which was still very reasonable to me) and then the Groupon site suggests tipping retail value of service package which was listed at $200 so I rounded up the total cost for services to $100 with a $21 tip (I tip no matter how unpleasant the service is). So as I'm bolting for the door wanting/needing to get out of there, I asked her to run card for $100 but what I really meant was $100 for total services (the $79 plus $21 tip) not an additional $100 to initial $69 cost. I went through Groupon specifically for the discounted value of service. No one goes through Groupon to pay an extra $100 for already paid for service but that's exactly what I did due to, again, described experience, to being so distracted and discombobulated by experience with this stylist: the endless political suffering commentary, complaining about other customers, about age comments or disapproving looks at me that I wasn't thinking clearly and just went into auto mode at payment time, that is paying at end of provided service forgetting for all above reasons that I had already prepaid this stylist and just needed to pay for additional gray cover coloring cost and tip amount. As a customer I want to have a pleasant, stress free, political free salon appt./experience. In other words, try practicing professionalism for a radical change. P.S. When I called back about overcharge, Mehri explained extra cost as product purchases. THERE WERE NO PRODUCT PURCHASES! read more

Mehri absolutely ruined my cousins hair and I had to help her pay to fix it because Mehri charged her $400 and refused to refund any of her money when she can apparently afford to do the same service for $66 with a Groupon. Mehri, you should be ASHAMED of yourself. My cousing cried all night because of you. read more

So glad I found Mehri. She takes the time to personalize your hair to what looks good on you. Mehri is also very nice to talk to as well as very skilled with all types of hair. Try her, you won't be disappointed! read more
