I reached out in desperation to Vanessa (since she's right here in my neighborhood;) and she responded immediately and was able to get me in that same day! She did a beautiful job correcting my color and was quick and affordable too! I'm a very happy new customer - thank you so much for your help in my time of need!!!

What a place! I absolutely loved it!…read more After months of researching hair salons I decided on this one, so glad I did! I made an appointment and went in with not very high expectations just because it is so difficult to find a good hairdresser. I scheduled my appointment with Vanessa, I initially made an appointment for a cut but once there I asked about color since I've been wanting to correct my brassy orange locks. She offer some options so I decided to go ahead with it and man oh man I am so glad I did! We decided to go with a cut and toner, The orange in my hair is completely gone, she really took her time with the cut, which it's probably the best cut I have ever received. My hair now looks so flowy and so soft. Although I have a lot of hair she was patient and had the best attitude. I've tried many other stylist's that have complained about all the hair I have and have done rushed work but not here, This place is legit. I have to say, most hair salons are usually intimidating due to the fact that they charge an arm and a leg, this place however is reasonably priced and the work they do is pretty outstanding and worth it. Thank you, V.Clay Salon!

I started the process in Maine, then the progress was destroyed by a stylist in the Austin area who wasn't listening & took it too dark ‍ I found the talented Georgina of Mane Trendz who came to my home & invested her afternoon to create the gorgeous I was going for!

I made a terrible mistake coming here…read more Really disappointed, especially since there were so many good reviews about this place. I debated on writing this review for days because I felt really bad because they people who worked there were so sweet and really nice. I came in with a Groupon for partial highlights and a haircut. I asked a long bob, a hair style that I always get at other places and show the exact same photos I show to all the haircutters/stylists I visit. The dye job is fine. I really like it, actually. However, the hair cut is a little sloppy and wasn't what I wanted. The front looks decent. She cut it around 2-3 inches shorter than what I wanted... I wanted to be shoulder length but my hair does not reach my shoulders (my hair reached below my armpits at the time). I also told her that my hair gets flat when it's long which is why I wanted to cut it... I'm not sure if this translated into choppy layers, but that is what I got. When she finished my hair, I didn't realize that it wasn't what I wanted. Because she curled it, it was hard for me to see the choppy layers and the uneven haircut. So I thought that it looked good when I looked at it in the mirror at the salon. After I washed it, I was quite surprised and extremely disappointed. I asked my friends and they agreed that it was really choppy and doesn't look that great from behind. I'm a pretty busy person so I don't really have time for a high maintenance hairstyle where I need to straighten and curl it every morning. I also try to stay away from high heat since I used to have really damaged hair. It looks pretty messy when I don't style it so I'm not exactly sure what I'm gonna do. Overall, I don't think I'll be coming back. Another reason why I'm disappointed is that I paid $70 for this Groupon. This haircut and dye job is $150 without it which I think is way too expensive for this quality. I've had a $17 haircut that was better than this, sadly. Edit: The owner contacted me (as you can see below). I agreed to have her fix it and she did not respond to my emails or calls. Their customer service and communication is lacking. She said that she would have the receptionist call me but I never received a call. I finally gave up after 2 weeks of trying to contact her and went to another place. Update (12/14/18): I'm not sure why Georgina felt the need to update her response after nearly a year after this incident! I don't even live in Texas anymore. That's how long it's been. Yes we emailed, no she did not try 3 separate dates. She tried ONE DATE AND TIME (a 3 day notice) and I was unable to make it. Even if she did try 3 dates and that didn't work, she still should've tried to contact me. Even if we couldn't find a date that worked for us, she could've offered a refund or a partial refund and I would've been satisfied with that. The fact that she's making these claims and trying to make it look like I'm the one that ignored her is outrageous. Why would I lie? I literally don't benefit in any way because my hair will still a mess and you have my money. I have posted our emails as proof. If she has proof that she DID offer me 3 different dates, I will happily admit that I was wrong. I'm honestly tired of addressing something that happened a year ago. I know you don't want a bad review on your page but this could've been handled better :/

Best Hair Stylist in San Marcos, Texas BY FAR! I have been seeing Crystal for a while now and I am…read morein love with how amazing she makes me look EVERY TIME! She always knows the best cuts, styles, and hair color for my face! She is very talented and is the only one I will let touch my hair! I drive in from out of town just to see her and she is the only hair stylist that I have used that is able to nail my color, style, and cut perfectly every time. Crystal also has a great personality about her and makes every visit fun! I definitely refer anyone who is in the San Marcos area or even the surrounding areas to come in and visit this unique gem of a stylist! You won't be disappointed, and if you are like me and don't live in San Marcos- well, it is definitely worth the visit! Crystal also is now at the newly opened North Street Studio, and let me say that this is by far the NICEST salon in San Marcos. BY FAR! I used to live in San Marcos when I went to Texas State, and I was always frustrated by the quality of salons in San Marcos and found myself driving to Austin to get my hair done. Now I drive to San Marcos just to get my hair done! They did an amazing job and the decor is very complimenting. They also have any hair product you could ever imagine for sale in their salon, so I always make sure I stock up and resupply all my beauty products every time I am in there! Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable and I definitely recommend CRYSTAL and this salon to ALL OF MY friends and anyone who is in the San Marcos or surrounding areas who is needing a quality hair cut, style, color, and highlight- for sure!

100% recommend Sandie!!…read more I started coming to Sandie after my hairdresser in Austin became too hard to get to because of traffic/scheduling etc. I like most had never had someone else besides "my guy" touch my hair. Taking a chance I scheduled an appointment with Sandie, not sure what to expect.....Fast forward to one year later, I absolutely love her!! I get my hair done about once every month or so and absolutely love how she highlights/styles/takes care of my hair. Not only do I love the color she does, but she also will give me home remedies for taking care of my scalp and has also styled my hair for multiple events(the last at which I won best hair;))I really love Sandie as a hairdresser and as a person, she always tries to give me exactly what I want and if I want to be blonder or try something new (like pink!!) she always caters to what i am looking for, which is a quality I really appreciate when someone is all up in my hur. If you're new to SM or have been here for a while and are looking for someone new, go see Sandie! I've even recommended some of my Austinite homies to her as well;) it's easier to get here then there nowadays!!
