Just saw Jeni Johnson today for a cut to layer and shorten my gray hair. I've lived in Austin for…read more15 years. This is the first time I've come out of a salon and actually loved my cut and style without having to spend a fortune. Jeni is incredibly talented and spent lots of time before she cut to make suggestions. She showed me photos of styles she thought would look great. I had photos as well. She ended up cutting based on two of those photos and nailed it!! She showed me a number of different ways I could change the look. Her prices are reasonable and her personality sparkles.

I unfortunately was at work way up north and my husband was in crisis mode ( think Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom). I suggested he try a salon, and after getting turned away at a salon down the road, he begrudgingly tried your place. Even though the office was about to close, Pam took our daughter anyway and did an amazing job - Yes, this bun looked amazing!! She had to work with my child who has crazy big unruly hair (think Merida from Brave and yes its Red) if I can figure it out I'll try to send pics. You really made our day and we just want to say thank you again!!! You made a 3 year old feel and look like a real life ballerina. We definitely will be back - with an appointment to boot!

Finally, I found my Austin hair salon. Super convenient location, stylist was friendly. I showed…read moreher a picture of a short pixie cut and she did a great job! She even made a few suggestions to pull the look I wanted. I have very thin hair & the cut made my hair look like it had volume. Highly suggest!

Vania is an OUTSTANDING colorist and such a wonderful gem of a person! I won't be going to anyone…read moreelse! I got a balayage, a hair wash, a haircut and styling in 2.5 hours which would usually take 4 to 5 hours. She has excellent hand skills and knows what she is doing. I can just trust her with my hair. She has been doing hair since 20 years after all! She owns her own space and dedicates to one client only. Thank you thank you Vania! I love my hair I highly recommend the products she recommends. It's made in Italy and it makes my hair so soft.

I was missing the hot pink peek-a-boo highlights I used to have for about 5 years. Since the…read moresemi-permanent colors are too high maintenance for me (because I like to keep the color vivid), after I had my son I chopped my hair off, and changed up my look. So here I am 6 years later and I decided to treat myself (birthday treat yo' self) and looked up reviews so I could set a hair salon appointment. I thankfully found Salon Dez and read all the awesome reviews. Soo glad I found her as she will be my go to for all my hair needs. I could tell she really knew her stuff as when I had done my hair in the past I'd have to explain and re-explain myself on what I hoped and envisioned (I'd always show pictures as well). Dez made it so easy, and knew exactly what I was wanting. I enjoyed her going over in detail what she was going to do before she got into it. Great communication. I even learned about the two colors she mixed to get me the nice vibrant magenta color I wanted. She's great at anticipating and calming your potential anxieties and that made for a truly relaxing experience the day before my birthday. I've been recommending her to my closest friends.

Still gotta say, she's the best. After my pregnancy when my hormones shifted, I started to lose…read morethat wonderfully abundant pregnancy hair. I very much appreciated her honesty when she said that she couldn't, in good conscience, give me the side-swept bangs I usually ask for because she knew it wouldn't go with the way my hair was at the time. She really knows her stuff. Love her!

If you are searching for a Makeup and Hair Stylist for your wedding - STOP and book Pearl Hair &…read moreMake-up Studio!! I posted a facebook post asking friends for referrals and 2 friends mentioned Pearl. I looked at pictures from the 2 people I knew who referred Pearl and instantly knew these people were good. One of the most stressful things on a wedding day is "will I like my hair and makeup". I was trying to save some money by not doing a trial run - and felt zero pressure to do so from Pearl - but was a bit nervous if my final result would end up the way I hoped. Well, I had nothing to worry about - both Maris (my makeup stylist) and Jeni Brady (my hair stylist) made me feel BEAUTIFUL on my Wedding Day. I could not have been happier! They came on site to our hotel and did my Bridesmaids and I hair and makeup and everyone was happy. I highly recommend these artists - thank you to you both for making me feel so great on my Wedding Day!

Andrea, you are a goddess! I made a last-minute haircut appointment while I was in town for work,…read moreand I honestly will make it a point to come back here next time I'm in town. Andrea did a great job with my cut, and offered a really helpful consultation before we got started. I was nervous to cut 4 inches off my hair, but she did an amazing job. And she was really friendly and offered a lot of suggestions for things to do while I was visiting Austin. The salon is clean and chic. It seems like they do a lot of wedding hair and makeup, and I can see why. It is a professional environment with high-class stylists. The prices were a little high, but since I only get my haircut a few times per year it's totally worth it to me, especially with the friendly and kind treatment I received.

Ashley has been my stylist since she was at Path Salon. She is absolutely fantastic. I moved to…read moreAustin from Atlanta, and, as many people have had to do the same, I began my quest to find the best hairstylist. I tried a few different stylists at Path, and while they were all really good, Ashley is amazing. First time she did my cut and color she was able to get my color exactly where I wanted it to be, and the cut was so flattering and a great update to what I had. She's also really nice, which you want when you're sitting there for a few hours. The second I found out she was opening her own spot, I knew I'd be following. Finding someone as awesome as Ashley isn't easy, and it was worth an extra 5-10 minute drive (or half an hour if that's what it took). The selfish part of me wants to keep her a secret, but she deserves success so book an appointment!

Original review: Have called twice in the past 2 get days. I also left 2 voicemails,and have heard…read morenothing back. Once was a Monday, yesterday. This place does show being closed on Mondays, so I guess I understand them not answering . The other time I called was the today, Tuesday , in which they say they're open. I was interested in getting my makeup and hair done for a work Christmas party. This place has decent reviews,and is right by my house. However, no one has contacted me back,so I'm now I'm scrambling and needing to go elsewhere. I figure,if you're a legitimate business, with a phone number and your business hours show as open, that you should answer the call or at least return voicemails left on your Google phone number with an Austin area code - that make it look like you're using to try and make yourself appear legit in this area. Austin has no shortage of good hair stylists,and I'll be taking my business elsewhere. It is unfortunate, but that's how it goes when businesses don't respond to potential new clients. Updated review: Ally called me and explained why she didn't call back sooner. She also let me know the names and phone numbers of other stylists she's worked with in the past for similar things to what I was looking for! Pretty nice of her to do! Thanks Ally!
