I have been going here for years, but this year alone has seen a dramatic shift in the quality of…read morecommunication and service. While the staff members are kind, it seems they force their own idea of what you should do with your hair onto you. After the first time of them doing that to me earlier this year, I thought "maybe it was just this stylist?" so I went again recently. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. My bangs were cut shorter than I asked, and they are very obviously crooked. It has ruined 4 special events that I was part of this week. I didn't even want to go to one I had today, just because I was embarrassed of how all my photos were turning out with such a terrible haircut. ---------- I went in and asked for my bangs to just be shaped - no dramatic length change. I was at a loss of words whenever I was turned around to look at my reflection and see that I got something completely different from what I had asked. The stylist seemed excited, and I just looked at her in disbelief. She asked if I wanted her to change anything, but you can't paste hair back on, so I mustered out a stoic "no"...didn't want more of my hair to be butchered off. Hair grows back, I get that, but I specifically went here to get my bangs shaped for special events that I knew I was going to be photographed multiple times for. Little did I know it was going to ruin my memory of each one.

However, the quality of the blowout was lacking. I asked my stylist for a voluminous blowout with big curls, and I took these photos as soon as I got home - about 30 mins after my appointment - and you can see that it looks pretty messy. My hair wasn't brushed out at the salon after the blowout was done, and I was told to wait to brush it out to preserve it. Maybe I should've paid the upcharge to use hot tools, but my hair never has trouble holding form after a blowout. I paid $58 + tip for this, and had to redo it myself when I got home

They were also incredibly flexible when our scheduling got a little chaotic. Not once did they make us feel stressed- they simply adapted and kept everything moving with grace. As for my hair, I asked for a teased, bohemian braid, and my stylist not only nailed the vision but personally threaded tiny flowers throughout. I was not prepared for how magical it would make me feel. That level of thoughtfulness and artistry is rare, and I will never forget seeing it for the first time in the mirror.

I did a trial run a month before, and we got to go through several hair styles as well as several make up looks. I know my hubby likes my hair down more than in an up-do, so I simply ended up having my hair curled down to the side with a bejeweled clip--I'm pretty sure it wasn't that simple though, cuz I surely wouldn't have been able to replicate the exact look! It virtually stayed in place the entire night--believe it or not--and by the end, it was still quite presentable (see pic)! She also placed fake eyelashes on all those who had their make-up done.

She was such a joy to sit and talk with too, it was like we weren't even strangers and had been friends since childhood. She made me feel so comfortable the whole time and I cannot say enough great things about her! I will definitely be coming back to her for more help with future portraits! Also - my hair stayed all through dancing on the dance floor plus going out on Rainey after! (I even went down the slide at Unbarlievable and nothing fell ) my husband was incredibly impressed by the end of the night that it was still nearly perfect when he had to take all the Bobby pins out of my hair LOL Rhea!! She is the BEST. I'm not a make up guru or glam girl by any means and I've always struggled as a bridesmaid in past weddings bc I ask for a neutral look and it never turns out how I want or like. I'm a bare minimum make up girly, so I don't enjoy feeling cakey with a full face of makeup. Let me tell you - I asked for a neutral look that would still make me feel like a beautiful and she did amazing! I felt like I was glowing all day and night and I got so many compliments! Thank you to this amazing human that is so talented and helped make me feel like the most beautiful person in the room I'm not kidding when I say that I've had multiple people ask me who my hair and make up team was because they want to use them in the future.

From the moment I walked into her salon, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile, which immediately put me at ease. What impressed me most about this hairstylist was her extensive knowledge and professionalism when it came to coloring and adding dimension to my hair. She listened intently as I explained what I was looking for and made some excellent suggestions that I hadn't even considered. Her attention to detail was truly impressive and it was clear that she was incredibly passionate about her craft. ( Something I've been struggling in Austin) coming to her with a dry damaged thin hair thinking she couldn't do much. Since coming to her, my hair has become bouncier and healthier than ever before. I am constantly receiving compliments on my hair, which is a true testament to her skill and expertise. Communication has never been an issue as she is bilingual, which made the whole process seamless and enjoyable. I am so grateful to have found such an amazing hairstylist who truly cares about her clients and their hair. I always bring her photos of what I am looking for and she works her magic to get me there. She is truly a master of her craft and I have already recommended her to all of my friends and family.

She has been patient during the times I "colored" my own hair until I finally wised up and allowed her to work her magic with balayage. Sarah is someone I have trusted with my hair from when I was searching for someone who knew how to cut long hair (really long) to when I finally donated to locks of love, tried out some short bobs then let it grow out again and explored some color. She goes the extra step in not only learning and growing in her craft, but also teaching or offering input to other stylists when asked. I don't know what I would do if I ever had to move away as I have followed her to new salons! Outside of Sarah making me feel incredibly safe and comfortable during these past months, Jose Luis Salon is also set up for success. The salon itself is spaced out and divided to make sure social distancing is in place. You let them know when you are there/ready and they only bring in clients one at a time while doing temp checks too. So if you are tired of your quarantine hair or just ready to try a new look or color- Sarah Contey is your hair stylist and Jose Luis Salon is your place!
