Blo Bar is my favorite place to go for a blowout! I love that their salons are in smaller shopping…read morecenters where you can park right in front of the entrance. That convenience makes such a difference for me. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and punctual. The styling chairs are comfortable, which is a huge plus. My only complaint inside the salon is the waiting area. The bench isn't very comfortable, so it's not much fun for my husband when he waits for me. On my last visit, Meredith was my stylist, and she was fantastic. She really listened to what I wanted, our conversation was easy and enjoyable, and my hair turned out exactly how I hoped. I'll definitely be requesting her from now on! My only other complaint is the location. I have to drive all the way to Cedar Park or South Austin since they closed their north location. I really hope they reopen one in North Austin, just not at The Domain. Parking in garages down the street is a hassle, especially when there are much more convenient locations available.

I booked my first-ever blowout as a way to treat myself after a few stressful weeks at work. I had…read morerecently cut my hair to a length I'm still getting used to styling, so I was really looking forward to being pampered and learning a few style tips in the process. I booked online and even added the deep conditioning treatment and head massage because I wanted the full experience. Unfortunately, the experience fell well short of my expectations. When I arrived, there was no greeting or welcome, just someone eventually looking up to check me in. The waiting benches were also surprisingly uncomfortable, with the window ledges digging into my back. Once I was taken back, there was almost no communication. No "Is this your first time here?", no explanation of the process, no confirmation of the services I'd booked, and not even a quick check that the water temperature was comfortable. I also wasn't turned toward the mirror during the service, so I couldn't even see what was being done. The salon was unusually quiet overall, with very little interaction between stylists and clients, which made the atmosphere feel a bit impersonal. To make matters worse, my stylist realized only at checkout that she had forgotten to perform both of the add-on services I had paid for. She did issue me a credit after speaking with her manager, but since I had booked those services specifically for that visit, a future credit didn't really make up for the missed experience. The blowout itself was perfectly fine, but that's only part of why people book appointments like this. Most people can dry their own hair at home; the value is in feeling cared for, relaxed, and a little spoiled. I walked in excited for a special treat after a difficult few weeks and walked out feeling more disappointed than refreshed.

It came out exactly how I wanted. Super blonde, blended, and literally zero trace of my previous identity crisis. Her whole vibe was amazing too. I felt comfortable the entire time, she had food for me, kept me supplied with water, and basically made sure I was fed, hydrated, and no longer looking feral I'm obsessed with how my hair turned out and honestly just loved hanging out with her. I will 100% be back. 10/10. Five stars. Gremlin successfully rehabilitated.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this salon--and especially about my stylist, Mattie! She's…read morebeen doing my extensions for a while now, and every time I leave her chair, I feel like a brand new person. Mattie is an absolute expert when it comes to color. She nails my tone every single time and somehow manages to keep my hair healthy and strong through it all (which anyone with extensions knows is no small feat!). What I love most is how she really listens to what I want, and then works her magic to make it even better than I imagined. The quality of her work is consistently top-tier, and I get compliments on my hair literally everywhere I go. If you're looking for someone who knows their stuff, cares about your hair, and will make you feel fabulous--book with Mattie. You will not regret it!

You can tell how meticulous every stylist is and that they love what they do. The owner takes pride in her work and it shows. She trains every incoming stylist that works at her salon. When you walk in the salon you are immediately greeted. It is truly a vibe and energetic atmosphere. I live in Liberty Hill and have gone to some popular salons only to be underwhelmed or feel like something is lacking. When I come to Salt and Waves, I feel like I am coming home.

cut, color job, and price…read more I so wanted to love my hair but I don't and I just feel wrong not posting about it. I went in asking for a light trim and some highlights. I showed the picture of what I wanted and it was all good until the reveal. The first thing I noticed was that she cut it way too short. I asked for an inch off (and showed her the desired length). She cut off 2-2.5 inches. I could've told her right then and there, but there's nothing she could've done at that point. My hair was already gone. The color is beautiful, but it's not what I showed her. I quickly got over it, but It wasn't until I got home that I noticed the stark line between my light brown roots and the blonde. Planning on going to the store to pick up some root touch up to fix it myself. Lastly, and the most upsetting, is the price. Usually this costs $100 at most. However, I was charged nearly $200. I wouldn't have minded so much if she did a good job, but there were just too many mistakes to justify spending that much money. The people are so nice and good company, but I have to be honest: she didn't do a great job, and the price was just horrible...

This isn't just a hair salon, it's a family…read more I haven't lived in TX very long but I found Shelby shortly after moving here and presented her with the huge task of not only correcting my hair from previous damage but installing extensions. I was so happy to have someone work with me who not only cares about achieving my dream hair, but also cares about the quality of my natural hair. She walked me through the process step by step before even touching my hair and was very transparent on the pricing which I appreciated. Not only do I have my dream hair but I have an entire salon full of ladies who feel like family. Shelby runs the salon in a way that everyone can feel welcomed, appreciated, and valued. My daughter is young and sees them as well. I always feel confident leaving her in their hands so she can practice her independence in an environment I can truly trust. The pricing on all services is MORE than fair and they will never do anything to your hair that could be detrimental in the long run to the integrity of your hair. I now drive a ways to them since I moved, but it's worth it because I'll never go anywhere else!
