Ashley has been my stylist since she was at Path Salon. She is absolutely fantastic. I moved to…read moreAustin from Atlanta, and, as many people have had to do the same, I began my quest to find the best hairstylist. I tried a few different stylists at Path, and while they were all really good, Ashley is amazing. First time she did my cut and color she was able to get my color exactly where I wanted it to be, and the cut was so flattering and a great update to what I had. She's also really nice, which you want when you're sitting there for a few hours. The second I found out she was opening her own spot, I knew I'd be following. Finding someone as awesome as Ashley isn't easy, and it was worth an extra 5-10 minute drive (or half an hour if that's what it took). The selfish part of me wants to keep her a secret, but she deserves success so book an appointment!

This review is very specific to bleaching and toning, but if that's what you're looking for, this…read moreis NOT the place to go. Came in a white/blond with dark brown roots, left a gross light brown/red color. They scheduled me a follow up appointment saying they could "undo" the toner with something that would not cause damage, literally half my hair has broken off since that visit, and they toned EVEN DARKER! They left me with toner for longer than I've ever been left. And the whole ordeal ended up costing over $215, looks like shit, and has ruined my hair. The owner reached out to "try something else" but 0 trust given that "second try" resulted in, I kid you not, 50% of my hair breaking. I look like I have a mullet now. Awful experience.

Well. It finally happened. I had to edit my once 5 star review. I had previously gone to Stephanie…read morefor a color correction and she did GREAT! However, when i came back to get balayage done recently, it was almost like she was a different hair dresser. I didn't want to cute too much off because i really like my long hair, however by the end of it, more than four inches were cut off. Furthermore, my hair isn't cut even at all (see photo, it's the same around my whole head. I took one photo with wet hair and one of dry hair.) But what really disappointed me was how i didn't even get what i wanted. My hair looks nothing like the photo i showed Stephanie, it almost looks like i didn't do a single thing to my hair. My hair is also now super damaged from before. I used to be able to brush my hair wet no problems, and not worry about brushing my hair through the day. But now it's like i can't go anywhere without a brush. My hair CONSTANTLY TANGLES. Overall, really disappointed with my second visit. Now I'll just wait a couple of months for my hair to grow out and try a different salon.

Stephanie is the only person I let touch my hair. She is amazing with hair and knows what she is…read moredoing. I highly recommend her for any hair related job. She takes the time to listen to what you want and asks questions to make sure you leave with a smile on your face and beautiful healthy hair! I also really enjoy going to her suit. It's so cozy and personal. It's just you and Stephanie and you can really relax once you sit in her chair. The ambiance is amazing. You are gonna wanna keep going back! And in conclusion; her haircuts are the best, her personality is rad, her location and suit are comfortable and relaxing- book now with her! I get my haircuts with her and I recently just got front blunt bangs. I also revived a straightening treatment with her.

I was missing the hot pink peek-a-boo highlights I used to have for about 5 years. Since the…read moresemi-permanent colors are too high maintenance for me (because I like to keep the color vivid), after I had my son I chopped my hair off, and changed up my look. So here I am 6 years later and I decided to treat myself (birthday treat yo' self) and looked up reviews so I could set a hair salon appointment. I thankfully found Salon Dez and read all the awesome reviews. Soo glad I found her as she will be my go to for all my hair needs. I could tell she really knew her stuff as when I had done my hair in the past I'd have to explain and re-explain myself on what I hoped and envisioned (I'd always show pictures as well). Dez made it so easy, and knew exactly what I was wanting. I enjoyed her going over in detail what she was going to do before she got into it. Great communication. I even learned about the two colors she mixed to get me the nice vibrant magenta color I wanted. She's great at anticipating and calming your potential anxieties and that made for a truly relaxing experience the day before my birthday. I've been recommending her to my closest friends.

Still gotta say, she's the best. After my pregnancy when my hormones shifted, I started to lose…read morethat wonderfully abundant pregnancy hair. I very much appreciated her honesty when she said that she couldn't, in good conscience, give me the side-swept bangs I usually ask for because she knew it wouldn't go with the way my hair was at the time. She really knows her stuff. Love her!

If your looking for a hair stylist I would highly recommend Taylor!…read moreShe is seriously the best hairstylist around! In the past I've always had trouble finding a stylist that gets that perfect shade of blonde I'm looking for Taylor gets it perfect every time! I love that she works very fast and efficiently, in the past I have some times felt like I was in the chair all day....... but not with Taylor she works quickly but I never feel rushed. She books up fast so I always make sure to make my next appointment while she's doing my hair, doing it that way I've never had a problem getting in.

I wanted to add some volume to my hair, and tried her hand tied extension service. She installed two rows of extensions on me. I fell in love with the instant volume the extensions added! The process was fairly fast and Taylor made sure to go over post-install maintenance and answer any questions I had!

Original review: Have called twice in the past 2 get days. I also left 2 voicemails,and have heard…read morenothing back. Once was a Monday, yesterday. This place does show being closed on Mondays, so I guess I understand them not answering . The other time I called was the today, Tuesday , in which they say they're open. I was interested in getting my makeup and hair done for a work Christmas party. This place has decent reviews,and is right by my house. However, no one has contacted me back,so I'm now I'm scrambling and needing to go elsewhere. I figure,if you're a legitimate business, with a phone number and your business hours show as open, that you should answer the call or at least return voicemails left on your Google phone number with an Austin area code - that make it look like you're using to try and make yourself appear legit in this area. Austin has no shortage of good hair stylists,and I'll be taking my business elsewhere. It is unfortunate, but that's how it goes when businesses don't respond to potential new clients. Updated review: Ally called me and explained why she didn't call back sooner. She also let me know the names and phone numbers of other stylists she's worked with in the past for similar things to what I was looking for! Pretty nice of her to do! Thanks Ally!

This spot was packed. 4 kids were already being served and 2 were waiting. They had quite a few things in space to make it a pleasant experience for the kiddos. A slide, balloons, tv, lollipops. And the cool car like chairs. My poor kid hated every minute of it but he's just sensitive to being away from mama. My husband was able to hold him during the whole appointment but it's unclear if that even helped. Over all it was a great experience for us, especially me, as a type A parent. And my son is super cute with his new haircut. I'm not going to blame the stylist cause my kid is unruly and doesn't want a hair cut. They were great, patient, accommodating, and effective! Will absolutely return for our little guy's next haircut.

I was searching for a new salon and Black Orchid was one of the first ones that came up. The…read morereviews seemed promising so I booked an appointment for yesterday with Maggie. I initially selected the "silent treatment" when booking since I'm not really one to talk to my stylists. But when I got there and sat down with Maggie, she INSTANTLY made me feel comfy and safe. She greeted and spoke to me as if I were an old friend, answered every question, and when I told her what I wanted, she asked follow up questions for details to ensure I got exactly what I was looking for. I didn't end up having a quiet appointment at all as we talked the whole time and I loved it. I cannot recomment her and BOS enough. The front desk staff was so kind and warm and welcoming, and as I already said, Maggie talks to you as if you're established friends. If you're an introvert looking for a chill but warm salon, this one is perfect
