I love Mint! I started going there nearly 20 years ago. I had the same stylist for years. I…read morefollowed her when she opened her own place, but in the last few years she moved out of town. I immediately went back to Mint and am lucky enough to work with a stylist who has been there as long as I've been going there-Macari is amazing! This is a solid place with friendly people and very talented stylists. The older building provides high ceilings and the white and mint paint job presents a cool and fresh space. It always feels open and airy, which is especially important during this pandemic. The Covid protocols here are outstanding: everyone is wearing masks, stations are spaced out (it seems that every other station is empty to ensure social distancing), and the place is spotless. The owner of the business, Melissa, is always so friendly and kind. She remembered me after I hadn't been there in several years. It really felt like going home to return back to this amazing place. I really enjoy supporting this woman-owned full-service salon.

Buyer beware. The services here are not 'so spectacular' that they justify the exorbitant costs-…read moreand with *literally* no breakdown or justification for WHY. In fact, if the almost DOUBLING of prices (or at the least; $90-$100 tacked on), it is certainly not explained or advertised on the website. This is shady at best. I was told that "prices are going up" and that my next service would be "$390+". For what? Where are the line items or cost breakdown? -The staff (with the exception of a couple of people ) are also seemingly trapped in a (name any) episode of "we're-trying-to-prove-ourselves-to-be-trendy-and-snobby-'big city'-personality TV show, with little regard of why people might be frustrated or have their own stresses going on. Mint Salon: Don't take out your prices on your customers. If you need to stick to the Westlake entitled crowd - that doesn't make them any less dumb for overpaying for a haircut and color. I am truly let down - not that you care. $390+. Imma just gonna leave it at that. You want to pay $400 for your hair? That's on you. Enjoy your privilege.

I had a great experience as a new client at Vain. I chose to book with Olivia because I was looking…read morefor a stylist who isn't so focused on color services and prioritizes cutting technique. When I called for an appointment, the receptionist was great and even offered me a cancelation appointment for the same day. During my service I was surprised and grateful for a few small but significant details: Olivia took a lot of time with me before shampooing to discuss my lifestyle and help me choose the right cut for my hair type. I felt confident that she was using my hair as a guide and was really helping me succeed in managing it. As a not-tall person, I really appreciated the footstools at the shampoo stations. (I didn't feel like I was going to slide out of the chair!) Olivia was awesome in answering all of my questions about products and haircare, and she was meticulous with my cut and blow out. Now, a few days later, I still love how my hair turned out. Strong recommend for Vain and Olivia!

The true story of Olivia. One day I called a company I trusted which was Tony and Guy(still trust…read morethem). I got booked by a random person named Olivia. She told me she was getting a new job somewhere else. For the next cut she had given me her personal number even though Tony and Guy wasn't letting her do it she did it anyway. I met Olivia ONE time. Olivia was INTERVIEWING at a new salon and had me go to the new salon. Vain.... First of all you can look by the photos on instagram Olivia did not know how to cut a mullet she had no photos until she met me. #1- she didn't like the style I chose as a client which was definitely really layer more like a mullet and I TAUGHT HER WHERE to cut my hair. #2- She refuses to flat iron my hair because she thinks it's bad for my hair even after I requested it the entire cut- and my hair was crooked due to the fact it's wavy. So at Tony and guy she fixed the crooked but at Vain? No way she definitely did not create a good look my hair was crooked on one side. So I called the manager to get the hair fixed on one side. For some reason maybe I was too honest and nice? Not sure!! But they did not want to fix my hair. Here's how the facts go for Olivia 1- she lied to vain to get the job claiming I'm a client that's following her around even though I just met her 2- during my cut at vain Olivia said thank GOD you are helping me get my job here in this interview 3- refusal to flat iron my hair so we can make sure it's even on both sides. In fact she laughed like she's gonna do what she wants even if I flat iron my hair and it's healthy she want going to do it. 4- lack of styling knowledge sorry Olivia- and Vain- but Olivia didn't know how to dry bangs that are wavy. She did not at Tony and guy yet- she was struggling with my hair she kept them wavy and they were crooked. So she had done some research on how to do my hair by the time I came back and showed me a technique she JUST learned. I'm like her guinea pig at this point. She had no clue how to dry bangs that were curly like mine. I watched her struggle and not listen and my bangs were crooked. 5- look at her profile from before Vain well then I requested my mullet cut showing her exactly how to cut my hair FYI LOOK at my hair right now- I have cut it myself ever since Olivia. Sorry but I'm an extremely amazing artist and I can cut hair it's an art but it's not brain surgery it's actually extremely easy to cut hair. It's not hard and I cut my hair better than Olivia ever has and that's a FACT. 6- By the way- this entire time I have been TEXAS STYLE NICE and quiet just letting Olivia LIE to Vain acting like I'm a client that knew her but really she just told me she moved from Miami and needed a job. I don't know her - she did bad with my hair in 3 areas but whatever. 7- Uneven hair- so mostly my layers on both sides of the face were completely different. I'm pretty sure Tony and Guy(a better salon) would DISAPPROVE of what she did to my hair. But when I told Vain Salon I was uncomfortable with my haircut and by how uncomfortable with Olivia? They took Olivia's side who they only knew for a month for some reason. I lost sleep because I spent so many years letting people walk all over my kindness. They were rude and it was only because I told them the truth about Olivia. They all wanted me to shut up. So I did- because now Olivia who started cutting girls hairs like MINE AFTER I TAUGHT HER WHAT GIRLS IN AUSTIN WANT NOT Miami wild child long boring Florida girl hair. No I taught her Not to cut hair crooked How to cut curly bangs How to cut a mullet What girls want in Austin Flat iron is ok on hair Apparently I helped her get a job ALL OF THAT?! and mostly? I just needed my hair fixed on each side. But guess what I do it myself now you all act like layering in such a skill and the art in cutting hair but really it's in THE SERVICE. And the service from Olivia was so trashy. So I'm finally saying something because the emails I have from the owner? Were such rude responses I'm going to guess "Vain" owners that are NOT TEXAN are what's going on. I did nothing wrong but be wayyyy too nice to the owners and Olivia. Who lied to them to get a job and Olivia shut me up this long!!! She traumatized me. But I'm the artistic girl she sucked my fashion, my knowledge and my energy. Hunny your "talent" is something I can do in my sleep Olivia. Your job was to be nice and you failed at that. The end.

I booked the "Haircut - Luxury Experience" for my first visit and showed Ruby Perez three reference…read morephotos. I clearly requested a slanted, vertical side cut with the front length touching my chin, and suggested trimming only about 1 cm. What I left with was a nightmare--my hair chopped drastically short, front above my jawline, sides straight, and nothing like the photos. When I pointed this out, she casually said it would "look like the pictures in 8 weeks." I was shocked and humiliated. During the haircut, she even told me twice not to cross my legs--something I've never experienced at any salon. I asked to switch stylists, and was told I'd have to pay extra, even though the issue was not my fault. Ruby then claimed that because I agreed to a graduation in the back--which she suggested--she had to ignore my other requests. I cried in my car on the way home, devastated. $160+tax for a ruined haircut and a traumatizing experience. I can only hope no one else has to go through this. Without exaggeration, this was the worst salon experience of my life.

I then asked if they were able to give services as a Christian and do no harm. Suddenly receptionist got really uncomfortable by the basic question. I was put on hold then for two minutes. She came back on and recommended a Christian hair salon and that this salon would not be a good fit for me.. I reiterated that I did not need to have a Christian stylist, just needed somewhere where I would not be harmed or stalked as a Christian. I was told to go to the Christian hair salon and this would not be a good fit. Sad. Sad that I cannot use the neighborhood salon as a disabled person and Christian.

I tried calling to see if I could come back in the week to get it fixed. Their number seems to always go to voicemail and their VM says for a quicker response to send a text message. I did just that. Explaining what happened, showing a picture and asking if I could come back. 0 response and it's been 2 weeks since then.

She asked excellent clarifying questions. She worked slowly and carefully. She paid attention to individual locks, getting them to fall just the right way. I had made one mistake -- I hadn't asked what the haircut was going to cost. I'm used to a haircut (including the post-cut styling) taking 30 minutes. As Sara went past the 30-minute mark and then past the 60-minute mark, I started to wonder: What is this going to cost me? $200? $300? More? After 90 minutes, she was finally done. The result was fantastic! Exactly like the photos I had shown her, and very, very flattering. I asked how much I owed her, and she said just $60! I even asked, "Are you sure?," but I certainly wasn't going to argue with her. I made sure to make another appointment with her before I left. I'm a little reluctant to tell the world what a great experience I had, because I'm afraid Sara will get all booked up and/or raise her prices! But fair is fair, she did a terrific job and I recommend her highly.
