I'm rarely happy with how my bangs come out. So I've stayed away from them for a long time. But I'm glad I took the chance today. Thanks Chelsie!!

The back is full of layers and texture that creates a swoop that flows into a chin length cut. Chelsie is very detail oriented and great at making this complicated cut seem like an easy job. My hair is always perfectly textured with lots of body. I have to mention, her shampoos are the most relaxing and pampering part of my experience. I have to remind myself not to fall asleep! LOL! She is never in a rush and always takes her time to make sure I leave with a smile on my face. I've even brought my sister for a visit & she was so impressed with Chelsie that she will drive 4.5 hours just to get a color and cut from her. If that doesn't convince you that she's amazing, idk what will. :) I have never been to a salon like this before. The service is outstanding!! You get a custom hair cut by professionals who take your styling preferences into consideration. And the best part, their products are chemical free!! I have searched near and far for a place that doesn't look at me crazy when I say im particular about the ingredients in my hair product. It doesn't even smell like a salon, it's wonderful! This salon is totally worth every penny! Plus, you get complimentary wine or champagne. HUGE BROWNIE POINTS! I will be a regular for life now! Thank you ladies!!

The amount of care, patience, and knowledge she poured into my appointment was beyond impressive. Heather completely boosted my confidence by teaching me how to properly care for and style my curls, and for the first time in a long time I actually feel excited and confident about my hair! She is incredibly compassionate, genuine, and so experienced in her craft. You can truly tell she loves what she does because it reflects so beautifully in the outcome of her work. I feel so thankful and blessed to have found her, and I can honestly say I will continue going to Austin Curls for the rest of my life! If you're looking for someone who truly cares, listens, educates, and delivers amazing results, Heather is your girl!!!

Overall I have been pretty frustrated and disappointed with my experience at Austin Curls, after…read moretrusting my stylist could fix the mistake that was made in my initial appointment (see photo), I have only been let down by the lack of service and expertise provided, by both my stylist and Austin Curls as a whole. I'm someone who values spending money on services, because I believe you tend to get what you pay for, but I spent over $400 on a balayage service that I now have to go somewhere else to have fixed. For future customer's sake, I hope this is a one off experience. Going in to my appointment I wasn't too picky with my service as long as I had added dimension to my hair, was in the range of browns, and it was relatively natural looking. I, naively, had no idea I could end up with such badly botched and mismatched hair from a place with such high reviews. I attempted to contact my stylist after the first recolor to address the issue of obvious miscoloring (see photo) and, after a week of waiting, did not receive a response. After sending an email to Austin Curls I was only offered to be seen/put in contact with the same stylist that messed my hair up twice and ignored my message. I understand Austin Curls operates as a collective, but I definitely didn't feel like I had support in resolving this issue outside of seeking help elsewhere. *In response to the reply from Austin Curls, I did not want my hair light and actually ended up with a color much lighter than I asked for. The problem is not from being disappointed with the lightness. My hair is discolored from the stylist darkening one part of my hair after messing up the balayage and not matching the rest of my hair. I have since seen a different stylist who fixed my coloring, breaking up the chunks and giving me the subtle dimension I wanted within 2 hours, no extra bleaching needed! What I wanted was easily achievable and this experience would've been a lot smoother if Austin Curls was capable of providing it.

However, my last visit with new stylist Belle left me with complete shock and disappointment. We clearly did not have same idea of color, but I also ended up with a refresh butterfly cut with terribly uneven layers all around my hair, and hair around my face chopped back to my ears because she wanted to remove weight. It was also extremely texturized leaving holes through out my hair. I for sure had damage but walked out with even more somehow, and didn't even realize how bad because she didn't do the included styling at the end (realized at home this cut was impossible to style!). They offered a corrective service which I appreciated after spending $400, and knowing it's a small business. Salon owner was nice but ultimately the color was still off (explicitly asked for a shadow root but just had lots of chaotic bleach), and cut hair was already cut and too far gone to blend apparently. Senior stylist who was correcting also continuously yanked my hair in the bowl, saying she had to in order to get the toner on everything. Super painful and I don't even have a sensitive head. Didn't realize how bad and uneven it still was all around until getting another corrective service at another salon recently. Such an uncomfortable experience overall and definitely not the salon for me. Hope others have a better experience or go to Wheelhouse ATX who has been nothing but kind, professional, and very skilled at handling a very messy correction

I've only left Apotheca for about two hours and I cannot get over how stellar my haircut came out!…read moreNot only is this salons truly spacious, clean, and well lit, but the entrance is a horticulture's paradise. They take pride in creating a community and you can see how embracing they are for everyone to come and get their hair done here. Not only is this a safe space and open to all for the queer community and beyond, but they offer hair, makeup, spa, and treatment services. I was able to make a same day appointment and was guided on how they have a few different tiers of stylists and after going over my needs, the receptionist guided me to book with Samaia. We all know how annoying parking can get, so I was stoked when they informed me about the complimentary parking within the same building for retail. It's the first three floors so make sure it's marked for retail (we hate getting towed in this house). As I walked in, I was promptly greeted and asked what I would like to drink. Now in all my years of getting my haircuts, I have never been offered SNACKS upon check-in. What a simple yet amazing way to elevate your salon. They had alcoholic and non-alcoholic options and you're encouraged to access the snacks and fridge if you desire something else. My barber/stylist Samaia met me in the lobby after I waited for a few minutes and ushered me into the back. Don't let your initial opinion fool you because there are like 10+ chairs and a dedicated hair washing room (with charging stations) there. I was informed my cut included a wash, style, and cleanup which was much appreciated. I showed her a few examples of hairstyles that stood out to me and she gaved me her open and honest expert opinion which was so nice. I loved she didn't just say yes we can do that and then hit my hair. We took a few minutes discussing options and we decided on a cut that would give me the effect I desired yet room for growth. Samaia's skillset transformed my hair and gave me the Cinderella effect of transforming me from a pumpkin to a beautiful glass carriage. She took her time and carefully used scissors and plenty of different tools for my hair. Many of which where the first I've seen even with my multiple visits to salons and barbershops in my lifetime. What stood out to me though was her approach to educate and demonstrate how to utilize tools when at home. It felt achievable and I even ended up purchasing a diffuser tool for my blowdryer. My hair feels and looks like a celebrity cut and I am so thankful that Samaia was able to give me the haircut I've been wanting to have for the longest time. I'll definitely be back!!
