Hannah at Golden Soul Salon does a beautiful job on my hair! For several years, I've booked my hair color treatments with this salon. I always leave with radiant hair, and I get constant compliments about my violet-red dark brown color. People always ask me where I had it done. As a whole, Golden Soul Salon is a charming, clean, and calming space. I love all the mirrors with affirmations/mantras printed on the glass. Free parking is also on-site. read more

These days, it's a bit hard to tell if the photo is of a hair coloring or haircut service, but after much research on Yelp and Instagram, I was able to narrow down my top choices and ended up booking a haircut appointment with Abby Brown ($80). The salon is thoughtfully decorated and was giving boho vibes. Upon check-in, they asked if I parked in the garage since they have a parking validation QR code, and if I wanted anything to drink. I was surprised they offered wine, and the white wine I got was the perfect level of sweetness for me. After being seated, Abby came over and started our consultation, asking me what I had in mind and gave me recommendations on my bangs. I have thin, flat hair, so we went with a long layered hairstyle with curtain bangs. Afterwards, she walked me to the back to the shampoo area. Like everyone else, I loved the shampoo area--it's dark green and moody with chill music and fake plants hanging from the ceiling, so you feel like you're laying in nature. It's super tranquil, especially when the scalp massage starts. I liked the Davines products they used; my scalp had a light tingling sensation and felt really clean, and the all-in-one milk made my hair smell so good. We walked back to the chair and she confirmed the length before she started cutting away. She took her time, making sure both sides were even. When she was close to finishing, she asked me how I wanted my hair styled. I went with the blowout since it was quicker and it looked like the reference pictures I showed her. Abby knows how to work a round brush with the Dyson blow dryer and really accentuated all the layers she gave me. It was pouring when I was done with my haircut, so they were nice enough to let me out through the back door that leads to the garage where my husband picked me up. Note: Metropolis charges you the moment you drive through, so scan the validation QR code before you leave or inform Golden Soul Salon and they will waive the fee. read more

This was my first time at Golden Soul and my soul literally felt nourished here. It was an honor to have my hair done by Abby who was so sweet and attentive to my service and needs. She took time to hear my hair vision and offered suggestions based on my ideas. I chose a full balayage plus a very needed cut. I also got curtain bangs for the first time! It took about 5 hours but I LOVED how my hair turned out!! The salon itself is so aesthetically pleasing, offering an airy vibe with plants and even a zen/meditation hair washing room with plants on the ceiling. Parking is free/validated for 4.5 hours which is nice. NOTE: If your service does exceed that time you will be charged after that time frame. Definitely recommend booking your next hair appointment here :) read more

If you are new to Austin or just looking for a new salon, I highly recommend Golden Soul! I researched many places before booking and I'm so happy with my choice. The vibe is kind, fun, and professional. Abby did such an impressive job with my highlights and cut. I had a lot of questions about coloring, so I really appreciate her expertise and patience! I almost always wash my hair shortly after a hair appointment because the products start to weigh down my fine hair, but that didn't happen! I keep looking at myself in the mirror. :) read more

Love this salon! Everyone is so nice and the vibes are everything! Got a hair cut with Javier and he always kills it!!

My review of the Salon overall: Golden Soul has such a cool vibe inside! I love all the plants and natural light throughout the salon. I thought the hair dryers above the chairs were pretty cool and convenient. The receptionist and all of the stylists were super friendly & trendy. One of my favorite features was the shampoo area. It has low lighting and relaxing essential oil diffusers. When you lay back to get your hair washed you're also receiving the best scalp/hair massage of your life! This was my first visit & Rachel Tucker was my stylist! 100 out of 10 would recommend and I'll be back! Review of the amazing stylist Rachel Tucker: Rachel is so wonderful. She was warm, inviting and took the time to listen and discuss exactly what I wanted for my transformation cut. She creates such an awesome environment and provides great customer service. She is so talented and totally slayed my new hairstyle. She went step by step with what would happen next throughout my service and gave me advice on products to use in my hair. Her shampooing technique is expert level and super relaxing. The blowout and style at the end of my cut made me smile from ear to ear. I modeled my hair transformation and walked out of the salon looking like a Rockstar. Rachel sure knows to make you look and feel like a QUEEN! read more

I've been to Golden Soul Salon twice now and they never disappoint. I always leave feeling so confident and stunning!

They also wash your hair and massage it before cutting it and it always feels so nice. Will be back for future cuts! read more

Rachel Tucker is both adorable and brilliant! Her super power is her availability to understand what her client's hair needs from her. I have been searching for a great cut for about 4 years, and I do mean actively seeking out a professional stylist who understands how to bring hair alive! Thank you, Rachel! You brought my ultra fine 50 something hair back to life. I love the sleekness and the shine my hair now has. I'll be back! 10/10 here!

Awesome place. Needed a blowout for some wedding prep and found this gem. Malorie was great and so pleasant!! The hair washing experience was amazing. Almost like a mini spa experience!! read more

I've been getting my hair done by Nicole for years. She does amazing unicorn bright color, as well as more natural tones. I have been in love with my results every single time. The salon is always immaculate and the entire staff is friendly. There was one time I needed a sort of last minute appointment and Nicole didn't have an opening so Holly took care of me, and she did an awesome job too. I really can't say enough good things about Golden Soul. You'll feel listened to and pampered every time you visit. read more

After many years of bouncing around saloons trying to find my ideal barber/stylist , I found Reanne. She's been my stylist for the past 2 years or so. She does a good job every single time . And to top that off we always have good conversations . I'd keep going to Reanne as long as I can . read more

Love the atmosphere and people here! Amazing vibes and of course, Rachel did an amazing job on my hair. Highly recommend her and this salon! read more

Golden Soul Salon is such a vibe! From the moment you walk in, you feel so welcomed-the space is beautiful, cozy, and has the best energy. It's a true safe space where you can relax and know you're in great hands. The whole team is insanely talented, and you leave not just looking amazing, but feeling amazing too. Highly recommend! I got my hair done with Nicole, she is seriously the best! She absolutely killed it with my pink and purple hair, It's even better than I imagined. She always listens, gives the best advice, and makes the whole experience so fun. If you're thinking about doing something bold, she's 100% the one to trust. I'm OBSESSED. 10000000/10 recommend. read more

Nicole did an amazing job with my Keratin treatment. She is super patient and took the time to truly listen to my thoughts and concerns. The salon itself is lovely, with a positive vibe that can be felt upon entering. Definitely recommend! read more

Kayla was amazing! She is great at face framing and long layers + highlights duh :) overall 10/10 experience with the personnel

Wow!! What an amazing effort by Rachel T. It was my first time there and I was treated like a queen. I have a special color and the salon didn't have one of the colors to the formula. Rachel went and got the color while I waited. Madeline kept me company and I was enchanted! This place is nothing that I expected and I am so excited to have a new salon to call my home. read more

Remind myself never to write a review when I am sleep deprived and disgruntled-- I was floored by the efforts owner Nicole made to make sure I was totally satisfied with my experience at Golden Soul. Despite my difficult schedule, she was able to accommodate my color-correction appointment into her busy schedule. Was very attentive at the start of our appointment, asking what I was looking for in terms of style and color and took the time to explain each step along the way. Because I had a dinner date later that night, she offered to curl and style as well, with the help of a fellow stylist. The end result was exactly what I wanted, and I left the appointment feeling my absolute best. Definitely see myself coming back here whenever I roll back into town. read more

I had a great experience with cut and color and easy parking. One of the only local salons to use Davines color which is effective but doesn't dry out my hair Highly recommend. read more

I am so lucky to have found Nikki, she is now my ride or die. Even on day one when I first she starts the appointment to learn about you: what kind of hairstyle you want, what your level of care you want to personally maintain, and general style that motivates you. I honestly love my hair because of her, I can be confident in styling and caring for my hair every day. She's been a great guide on my hair color journey, while also ensuring my hair remains happy and healthy along the way. read more

KALLIE did an incredible job on my cut, color and Brazilian blowout. She's a true artist - she pays such close attention to how colors blend together, she even matched the example photo I showed her to a T! I've never been this happy with my color - ever. It's 100% what I wanted. Blondes - she's your girl. The salon is safe, everyone in masks, temp checks and sanitizer when you walk in. They're only operating at 25% or capacity and everyone is distanced to ensure safety. read more

If you're new to Austin and looking for a salon to call home, this is your sign to stop looking. While not super new to Austin myself, I was very recently put in the position of needing to find a new salon - Nerve racking and overwhelming to say the least. After sifting through countless reviews and countless salons, my gut told me to go with Golden Soul and I can happily say the search is over. With LONG natural dirty blonde hair that had never really been colored , I entrusted Nicole to go SHORT and platinum blonde all over. I can honestly say the woman is a hair magician and I've never been happier. I feel like a brand new woman in all the best ways. I know when going through the process of finding a new salon, half the battle is then picking the right stylist. Don't fret. They're all good. Just go. read more

One of my biggest worries when I moved to Austin was that I wasn't going to find a hair stylist that I trusted. I looked and looked and wasn't impressed by anyone I found online. I heard about Debbie through a friend and decided to try her out! When I sat down in her chair Debbie asked "how can I make you happy today?" 2 years later and I have never been disappointed by her work! Thank you for all you do, Debbie! read more

KENDI DOES AMAZING MENS HAIRCUTS. So I came into this salon having an absolute freak out. I had just gotten my haircut for the first time In a year. It was horrible worst haircut of my life. I called golden soul and they were able to fit me in last second on the same day. Kendi must have a freaking god given gift for cutting hair because she saved my hair and mental state. My hair literally went from the worst haircut I've ever gotten to probably the best. If you are a man I cannot recommend kendi enough she is so very talented and I will be going to kendi for every haircut I get until I die or kendi leaves the Western Hemisphere. read more

I absolutely love Rachel!!!!! Golden soul salon is the first professional salon I've been to for my hair. I was very nervous because my aunt who owned a salon always died my hair but it would always fry. I expressed my concern to Rachel and she took such great care of me. Gave me a free wash and blow out and added a mask treatment to my hair after going blonde, not because she had to but because she wanted to take care of me and show me phenomenal service. She always has a smile on her face, I never feel like she is rushing. She is very précis and professional and I absolutely love my hair and how well she did. She is amazing and I love her. read more

This was definitely worth the 5 o'clock traffic I had to face on my way home. I came in for a much needed hair refresh and got the cutest curtain bangs by Courtney. I loved the vibe there, it was so relaxing and fun. I plan on going back read more

There's even a parking lot for free parking. read more

Golden Soul Salon - Color by Nikki - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was so lucky to have found this salon during my visit to Austin. I plan on moving to Austin from LA in a few months but even if I wasn't I would legitimately fly here specifically to see Nicole, the owner of the Salon. Everyone who worked there was extremely helpful and nice and they even fit me in last minute thanks to a cancellation. I sent them pictures of my current hair and my goal hair and then when I saw Nicole in person she had me explain exactly what I wanted. The results were incredible.. it was the first time that I got exactly what I wanted from a salon visit (and I normally go to super pricey salons in Beverly Hills). The service isn't cheap but I think it is worth every penny!!! I can't express how great of an experience I had and I would recommend this salon to anyone! I will be back soon! read more

Ray was AC and totally killed my haircut. 10/10 best experience I've had with a haircut. The whole shop is a total vibe

Raeanne did beautiful work and was so easy to talk to!! i will definitely keep coming back.

This is my favorite salon I have ever been to! The vibe in here is incredible, everyone is so nice, and they play great music. Also, the wash room is a reason to go here just in itself, it's like a jungle meditation oasis! Hannah did such an amazing job on my hair! I was changing my hair pretty drastically and was a little nervous about it but she made me feel so confident that she knew exactly what she was doing. She gave me such an in-depth consultation of my hair and even went as far as to match the swatch types of my root color and my desired color on hair samples. I've never had that done before and had no idea that was even a thing! lol Hannah absolutely killed it on my hair and gave my exactly what I wanted. She is also so sweet and great to talk to! I highly recommend this salon and feel so lucky that I even found it. read more

Nicole has been doing my hair for nearly ten years now, and I have been a customer of Golden Soul Salon since its inception. Here is what I love about this salon: Covid19 safety protocols in place. Welcoming, friendly staff. Knowledgeable professionals who are on the forefront of their industry re: all of the latest color techniques. Beautiful design (I always appreciate lovely decor!) Female owned and operated. Nicole has seen me through different hair transitions and offers great suggestions when I am growing out a cut, or growing out or changing color. I love this place. read more

I have been going to Hannah at Golden Soul officially for a year now and can whole heartedly say that I look forward to each and every appointment! Having relocated last year after living in London for nearly 18 years, it's safe to say I had my 'hair lady', my 'nail lady' and all beauty ladies in between. So having to find my 'new ladies' was a big thing, but when I found Hannah, I knew she was my new 'hair lady' from the first appointment. She made me feel so welcome, listened to what I previously had done and what I wanted moving forwards, and then made it happen! I can honestly say that Hannah has transformed my hair. I am so thankful to have found Hannah and recommend her tenfold. read more

I went for the first time to Ben Beau Salon and I'm already in love! They are honestly the nicest people who work there. Everyone is helpful, genuine and professional.

I highly recommend! read more

I have never loved a salon more! Seriously- This place is the only salon I will go to and I refer ALL of my own clients there! I trust them to give me a consistent experience that's beyond what I've ever seen in a salon atmosphere. Every single one of the stylists and employees is there to truly serve your needs, give you an experience that is above and beyond your expectations, and leave you with an educated and exceptional hair styling experience. This place is busy BUSY, and I see that as nothing but a total reflection on the talent and repeat business that constantly fills the chairs there! The stylists are total professionals and essentially Instagram influencers due to that so their schedules are packed and for good reason! If you love people that will make you feel like you've known them forever, have a wonderfully encouraging and fun atmosphere, while at the same time walking away with the best hair in Austin this is your place! read more

Amazing female-owned business!! If I could give more stars, I would. I've been getting my hair done by Nikki for years and absolutely love every experience I have. She's such a bad ass and extremely skilled. I've had just about every color there is to have from platinum to purple, and she kills it every time. The salon is also very COVID conscious with distance between chairs, sanitizing, and limiting the amount of people present at any given time. Everyone at the salon is so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend Golden Soul to anyone looking to have awesome hair read more
