Amy is always so sweet when I come in for my appointments. She's always fun and helps me with my hair. I'm quite lazy when it comes to styling it but Amy is great at giving advice. Place has a nice vibe to it and I love that they always offer refreshments! read more

I had Lilly , she did such a good job with everything, She was very sweet and talkative. The place is cute. 10/1o tottaly recommend

I think I got the worst haircut ever here. She literally picked at a few pieces, cut my hair dry, which I've gotten done before but she barely touched it. And then styled my hair curly without asking how I wanted it styled - She completely disregarded anything I said, didn't ask questions for more insight and was condescending and rude. I went in for a bang trim and they're the same length as when I went in.... I ended up having to get another cut somewhere else after spending $115 for JUST A CUT HERE. Like huh? read more

Farah is the best in the biz, love her and the salon is the cutest! Her cuts always grow out gracefully, she is in charge of my hair forever! read more

What nice, wonderful people! I've gotta admit this review is only abt the staff, I've not enjoyed their stylists yet, but I hope to someday soon! My little story is this: I didn't have my cellphone with me, but I did have my iPad. I needed to text my friends in the condo above to come down and let me in, because I couldn't find their name on the directory. I was hesitant to ask just to hop on their hop on their wifi! But, they ascertained my need immediately, and ushered me to a comfy seat, shared their WiFi, and even gave me a Topo Chico! How sweet is that?? Excellent experience in this friendly, light filled space. Incidentally, if you are into plants, there is an enormous, spreading, epic fig leaf taking center stage here. Worth a visit for that, alone! read more

I went to Little Sister for an emergency haircut before a wedding. The only person I could see was Alison Rea on such short notice. Of course I was hesitant to see a new stylist but could not have been more thrilled with the outcome! I had my hair cut dry for the first time and Alison is so wonderful at listening to exactly what I wanted and offering suggestions for work would work for my wavy hair wanting to be curly. My hair looks amazing even weeks later. The stylists in this salon have been trained on how to cut curly hair specifically! I am leaving a star off because I was surprised to pay more than I was quoted because it was a "curly cut" and I was a new client. Oh well. read more

Shout out to Allison Rae who spent two hours helping me become Magneto for the annual Living In The Moment Actors Studio character party. See for yourself. So happy with this salon! read more

See all

Marisol was awesome. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave me a cut that was exactly what I envisioned!

Today was my first time at Little Sister Salon. I booked a Milbon treatment with Amy and I am glad I did. She is so sweet and personable and explained each step as she went. The end result was great, my hair is so soft and smooth now! She gave me a great blow-dry and style after the treatment. I would highly recommend Amy and I already booked my next treatment with her!! read more

I got an amazing updo done here for my friend's wedding. I was the maid of honor and Marisol made my hair look great for day! I would highly recommend this salon especially if the wedding is at Mercury Hall since they are so close. read more

Farah came highly recommended to me over a rat ago by someone with fabulous hair, and I've had no regrets. She said she was going to give me a cut that would change my life, and I can truly say I haven't had so many compliments on my hair in a very long time. On top of having some skilled stylists, the very cute salon is always stocked with great, hard-to-find products. read more

They don't take walk-ins but they made an appointment for me in the same day. I am not a very girly girl and I'm always nervous about getting an overly chatty stylist that wants to talk about things that I don't, but Ramie was really nice to talk to and also answered a lot of my questions that I had about how to take care of my hair. (Again, I'm not a very girly girl.) She did an awesome job and took the time to ask specifically what I wanted and also about how I took care of my hair in the past... and she didn't try to push any products on me. I came in for a just a trim, shampoo, and blow dry, and she did a really great job. my hair hasn't looked so great in a very long time. Also, the salon is so cute, has really good natural lightning and they played nice chill music the whole time. read more

People literally stop me on the street (all the time!) and ask me who cuts my hair. Reply of course is Farah Reid & 90% of the time I hear "oh yea, I've heard of her." Austinites in the know, go to Farah and to her salons because she truly is an artist in every aspect of the word. Everything from the design of her spaces, to the awesome products and personally curated playlists, to the ultra educated & cool stylists who work side by side one another, every detail has to pass and reflect her "clients always come 1st" mentality. How do I know all of this?....Well, I've been a client for over 7 years (even when I lived in NYC). Yup, I would hop a plane back to the ATX just for her haircuts (you ladies with the short hair understand). NO ONE does short hair like Ms. Reid. The beauty of her talent is, she also works her magic on Rapunzel hair and makes it gorg too. With her one of kind shearing technique, this powerhouse is the coup de grâce for bad hair days. read more

They didn't deliver on what i paid (a lot) for....even after looking at an example picture and assuring me it was "totally doable"

This place usually gets good reviews, but this is proof that if your stylist seems off, just get out of the salon chair. I got my first haircut with Kacy and it was a disaster. She said "I'm just going to dust the bottom and add a few long layers", and all I asked was that she not make my hair flip out at the bottom. I need to look polished for an interview. Well, I ended up with a bi-level haircut which I haven't seen since 1986 and it's completely uneven and yes, you guessed it, when she realized that the blow dry wasn't going well because of the uneven cut, she flipped out my ends to try to hide it. It looks awful. And I'm disappointed in her lack of professionalism to own it and fix it when she knew things were seriously wrong and my hair looked ridiculous. Maybe Netflix will let me and my new 80's haircut be on the next season of Stranger Things. Beware of stylists who "sell" it a little too well. read more

Back around 1999/2000 when I was still a student at UT, a woman came into my work with fabulous hair and I had to ask who did it. She told me about Farah at (what was then) Pink on South Congress. I immediately booked an appointment and Farah made my lackluster baby fine hair do things I never thought possible! Over the years after college I moved to NYC, L.A., New Orleans, Seattle and even Paris, France and never found another stylist (even some famous names!) who could cut my hair like Farah. When I moved back to Austin I was thrilled to find out she had moved back here as well. Her skills have even grown better with age and she has this amazing intuitive sense to work with you to get the cut of your dreams. My cuts have only continued to get better with each visit and I owe this all to her. I am a devotee and I will agree with other reviewers when I say, be prepared to get stopped EVERYWHERE and asked about your hair because Farah is a true artist! read more

It is beyond any salon experience I have had, and I have had a lot. I just moved to Austin and one of the most important things was finding a great stylist. The salon is amazing from start to finish. When you walk in you feel like you are being taken care of. Rachel was at the front desk when we arrived and she is a breath of fresh air. So professional, efficient, kind, warm, and gives a great shampoo. The vibe and atmosphere of the salon are just cool. Lauren did my hair and she is outstanding. She not only has such a wonderful personality and demeanor but she knows her hair. She took one look at my face and energy and knew just what I needed. I would highly recommend going to Little Sister Salon!! read more

Jenna took her time and the results were amazing! She is so talented. I can't wait to go back for color and future trims. Very much worth the drive and the time it took to find a skilled stylist who can work magic with short hairstyles for women. P.S. Thanks for letting me just zone out and snooze. :) Haircuts are so relaxing!! read more

Great cut from Jenna, really pleased with the results. Will definitely be going back read more

I've been Farah's guinea pig since we were wee, and I can't imagine going anywhere else! I'm constantly stopped on the street by people wanting to know where I get my hair done- and it's right here! Little Sister! The girls are so adorable, the space is inviting & airy & beautiful just like their curator. If you've been to Pink back in the day on South Congress, that was Farah's first salon. Now that she's opened I Love You Pink a few years ago, a second was in order. The lady exudes style, and better yet, has a knack for figuring out what best suits your tastes. You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been devotedly following Farah Reid around since the first time she cut my hair almost a decade ago! I call her my hair shaman-- technically masterful, creative, playful, magical. Everything she touches turns gorgeous including the new Little Sister Salon she just opened in South Austin. I popped in for a quick bang trim & stayed for an hour just so I could sit in that beautiful space! I love it! read more

I called several salons for color consultations and Little Sister salon receptionist was the least friendly out of the three salons I contacted. Even if the color consultation goes really well with the stylist, the first impression of Little Sister salon was less than stellar. read more

I'm so happy I found this salon a few years ago! I honestly cannot say enough good things about Little Sister! But even more so, I just have endless praise for Lauren! After each visit I leave feeling extremely taken care of! The salon itself is super stylish, but also very cozy, and everyone is so freaking friendly, it's great! Honestly though, I can say I have found a stylist I will stay with for life in Lauren. We always have a discussion of exactly what I want with my hair, any questions I have, any recommendations she has, and I always leave feeling like she executed it perfectly! As a curly girl (2C), I used to be so nervous going to get my hair cut because stylists would want to straighten or wash it before cutting anything, and it wouldn't look right until my hair grew out a little. But seriously, every single time I go see Lauren, my hair feels and looks great! And I always get a ton of people asking me where I get my hair cut! Please though, do yourself a favor and visit these guys. I promise you won't regret it. read more

Alison has done a wonderful job on my hair!! The first time she cut my hair she sat with me and asked me what I wanted done, and managed to do an amazing job. I haven't seen another hair stylist since and I am super happy with the way my hair looks now. I have wavy/curly hair and she has by far managed it the best. I would highly recommend seeing Alison read more

I had my hair colored and cut/styled by the amazing hair goddesses at Little Sister. Ramie did beyond amazing brunette color on me, looked super natural. Can't wait to go back. read more

Super-particular, hair-obsessed diva here. I am every hair stylist's worst nightmare (fo realz). I have a ton of thick, curly hair that needs lots of product to dye and style, not to mention the time it takes to dry. I have lots of silver in my naturally dark brown mane, but I like my hair dyed copper. This is apparently not an easy color to do with my hair color and texture. Many a hairdresser could either not get coverage on my gray or went way hot or dark with the color, because copper on super dark hair can be tricky. I've been going to Tisa at Little Sister Salon for almost a year now and she is AMAZING. Through lots of communication and hard work on her end, she has achieved hair genius status in my eyes. My hair color is gorgeous- I have both coverage of my grays and dimension in my copper. Tisa is also very patient and a perfectionist who totally gets the picky Virgo in me. The entire staff at her salon is wonderful and I have received above and beyond customer service there. An added plus is that they have a cute nail-painting station where you can paint your nails with Smith and Cult polish (so awesome) while you wait for your hair to develop! Love it! You seriously need Tisa and Little Sister Salon in your life. Believe me. You do. read more

I was super nervous to go to a new salon and dreading making appointment. Not only did Alison give me the best haircut and color I have ever received but she was extremely sweet and went above and beyond with her services. I highly recommend her to anyone nervous about chopping their locks or looking for a color refresh. Plus the entire shop is cute af and they have amazing product selection. read more

I'm so happy I found Marisol to cut my curly/wavy hair! She's so willing to work with me to get it just right and is a very sweet and kind person. Happiness is a good haircut! read more
