For the money, i must say this is not the value i have expected or experienced from other shops…read more First, my daughter's appt was at 11 and she didn't get in the chair until 11:41. Next, my daughter has half her head shaved so $200 for half a head of boho braids seems steep. Next, the braider didn't have any of the hair prepped and had to keep stopping to do that. Then, she was slow as molasses while braiding. After my sister came in and complained about the slowness, after 3 hours...the braider/owner said her niece would come in and braid faster. Mind you, these were not small braids, pretty medium size. At this point, i said, lemme just sit in there and watch progress bc there most definitely are some lallygagging shenanigans going on. Meanwhile, i got many concerning confused looks from the braiding congregation as to why i was sitting there. So naturally i looked right back with the same concerned energy. They looking at me, im looking at them...we looking at each other...but only one of us is a paying customer and only one of us doesn't understand the language being spoken (Me). But we clearly understood each other when a 2nd braider got up to help expedite the process...but then, they ran out of hair and as yet ANOTHER braider has been added to the mix, she dropped hair on the floor and thought she was going to put it in my child's hair. I had to loudly let her know she would NOT be putting floor hair on my child for $200. Finally, they had the door opened on an extremely humid day bc they didn't want to put on the air conditioning. Now imagine sitting there for HOURS with no breeze, 100% humidity, and a lady in the corner clearing her sinuses every 10 mins. Lastly, as i sit in their shop writing this review, waiting to press send as we walk out....NO, I vehemently DO NOT recommend this place at all. We were just in town for the week and what a misstep this was. The braids are decent but my Gawd, the process and service will leave the absolute WORST impression. Save your sanity and go somewhere else, anywhere else. It's just not worth it...trust me.

YES They provide that kinda stuff cause they love us. its exactly what I need after a stressful week or month. I have extremely thick dark hair.

I went in with nice normal blonde hair with highlights and 5 hours later I walked out with AMAZING mother of pearl hair just like the Pinterest picture I had shown her. I couldn't believe how amazing it looked! She had to Bleach my hair twice and put in 7 different colors of hair dye to make it happen and shockingly my hair isn't completely fried! I wanted to wait awhile to do this review to see if the color would actually stay in or not. I just made my appointment for a touchup on some of the colors "pinks don't like to stick around long" but all the blues, purples and greens are still hanging in there pretty strong! My first appointment was 2/14/17 and today is 3/9/17 This is such a cute little family owned and run Salon. Price is on point too! I was amazed at what I was charged for 5 hours of work. Some places charge a lot for time even if you are just sitting and processing but Drea was super fair and even generous with her time, products and what she charged me. Cheers to you Drea, you rock!

The partial highlight that ended up costing me $762.50…read more I booked a partial highlight service and provided inspiration photos in advance showing a brunette with face-framing highlights. After nearly five hours in the salon, the service was completed and I immediately raised concerns regarding the harsh lines, visible demarcation, and lack of blending between my natural color and the highlighted sections. I also asked whether additional blending, such as a root melt, would help soften the result. Rather than discussing those concerns, there seemed to be confusion about what I was seeing, so I ultimately asked that photos be taken so we could review the result together. The attached straight-hair photos were taken at that time, before I left the salon. That's when "one" area was acknowledged and a few lowlights were added. However, the broader concerns regarding the harsh lines, visible demarcation, and lack of blending throughout the rest of my hair were largely dismissed. I was ultimately told the result was "not that bad" and that I might simply need time to adjust to having highlights. That response is ultimately why I did not return for corrective work. Had my concerns been acknowledged, I would have been open to working toward a solution. Instead, I left questioning how the issues could be corrected when they were not being recognized in the first place. The attached wavy-hair photos were taken two weeks later. By that point, the harsh lines, visible demarcation, and lack of blending were even more noticeable, leaving me embarrassed and self-conscious about my hair. I sought a second opinion from another salon, where the stylist immediately saw the same issues I had raised during my appointment. They explained that significant corrective color work would be required, expressed sympathy for the experience, and were unable to understand how I had left the salon with a result like this. The correction required additional highlights, lowlights, toning, and blending to soften the harsh lines and create a more natural result. Initial service - $300 Corrective service - $462.50 Total spent for an outcome that was not my initial goal - $762.50 Attempts to contact the salon owner through both Instagram and the salon's website gmail received no response.

There was one lady that worked in the front of my hair by herself and one lady did the back of my hair by herself. I understand that the style took a long time because of the length and size I requested, plus they were a bit understaffed. I have a few "gripes." When I drove away one of the twists in the front slipped out. I could have turned the car around but after sitting for 6 hours, I was over it. I reattached it myself. Also, two days later, some of my natural hair is sticking out of the twists in the back and I've been working my hair back into them when I see it. Additionally my hair is parted into a small grid in the front and I have some pretty large parts in the back. Don't get me wrong, I get it, but in think my hair would look weird if I tried to put it in a half up half down style. Overall, the hair doesn't look bad I'm just not sure how long it's going to last. If you're in a pinch and need braids, maybe risk it. I might suck it up and drive to Houston next time.

I honestly hate having to leave a negative review because I'm generally not someone who complains…read morepublicly, but I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. I recently paid nearly $300 for braids at this salon after discussing several protective style options with the staff, including braids, kinky twists, and others. Before selecting a style and even sitting down for the service, I explained that my main goal was to choose something that would look neat, hold properly, and last through my August vacation without needing to be redone beforehand. I have very soft, fine-textured hair and shorter hair length, which was clearly visible during my consultation and in the photos attached, so I relied heavily on their professional guidance regarding what style would work best for my hair type, hair length, and long-term goals. The braider who worked on me was the woman seated in the very first chair on the left when entering the braiding area. She is a shorter, heavyset woman with a limp. I mention this simply so other customers know which stylist performed my service. Before the service began, I specifically asked multiple times whether this style would realistically work well for my hair type and length and continue looking good over time because I genuinely did not know what to expect. I trusted the salon's expertise when I was reassured that this style would achieve the long-lasting result I was looking for. I did not leave the salon initially feeling dissatisfied. However, the next day I noticed one braid in the front that already appeared frayed and frizzy. Once I saw that, I started looking more closely throughout the rest of the style and began noticing additional areas with frizzing, fraying, hair sticking out, and sections that already looked worn and untidy in less than 24 hours. To be clear, the issue was not that the braids were loose. In fact, they were extremely tight. That is part of why the amount of frizzing and fraying the very next day was so concerning to me. When I returned to the salon the following day, I pointed out numerous braids that I felt needed to be corrected. While they did attempt to address my concerns, the solution honestly felt more like a quick band-aid fix than a true resolution. The stylist already had another customer in her chair, and it was very clear the goal was simply to smooth over a few visible areas quickly rather than properly correcting the overall quality concerns I was expressing. What frustrated me most was that each time I pointed out additional problem areas, I was repeatedly told that my hair type and length were the issue. However, if my hair type or length were truly not suitable for achieving a neat, long-lasting result with this style, that should have been communicated honestly before the service was performed -- not after I had already paid nearly $300 and problems were already appearing within a day. The biggest reason I'm writing this review is because I want people to understand how unhappy I ultimately became with the final result. This was not someone looking for a discount or refund while continuing to wear the style. I was so disappointed after seeing the condition of the braids that I completely removed the hair myself almost immediately afterward. One of the salon assistants even helped me remove it because they could clearly see how upset and dissatisfied I was. I think they were genuinely shocked that I was willing to take out a style I had just spent nearly $300 on, but that alone should show the level of disappointment I felt with the overall outcome. I simply wish there had been more honesty, better quality control, and a more genuine effort to properly resolve the concerns I raised.

That convenience makes such a difference for me. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and punctual. The styling chairs are comfortable, which is a huge plus. My only complaint inside the salon is the waiting area. The bench isn't very comfortable, so it's not much fun for my husband when he waits for me. On my last visit, Meredith was my stylist, and she was fantastic. She really listened to what I wanted, our conversation was easy and enjoyable, and my hair turned out exactly how I hoped. I'll definitely be requesting her from now on! My only other complaint is the location. I have to drive all the way to Cedar Park or South Austin since they closed their north location. I really hope they reopen one in North Austin, just not at The Domain. Parking in garages down the street is a hassle, especially when there are much more convenient locations available.

I had…read morerecently cut my hair to a length I'm still getting used to styling, so I was really looking forward to being pampered and learning a few style tips in the process. I booked online and even added the deep conditioning treatment and head massage because I wanted the full experience. Unfortunately, the experience fell well short of my expectations. When I arrived, there was no greeting or welcome, just someone eventually looking up to check me in. The waiting benches were also surprisingly uncomfortable, with the window ledges digging into my back. Once I was taken back, there was almost no communication. No "Is this your first time here?", no explanation of the process, no confirmation of the services I'd booked, and not even a quick check that the water temperature was comfortable. I also wasn't turned toward the mirror during the service, so I couldn't even see what was being done. The salon was unusually quiet overall, with very little interaction between stylists and clients, which made the atmosphere feel a bit impersonal. To make matters worse, my stylist realized only at checkout that she had forgotten to perform both of the add-on services I had paid for. She did issue me a credit after speaking with her manager, but since I had booked those services specifically for that visit, a future credit didn't really make up for the missed experience. The blowout itself was perfectly fine, but that's only part of why people book appointments like this. Most people can dry their own hair at home; the value is in feeling cared for, relaxed, and a little spoiled. I walked in excited for a special treat after a difficult few weeks and walked out feeling more disappointed than refreshed.
