I decided it was time for a new haircut.

It's super cute and everyone there is very friendly. They offer an array of services including manicures, facials, eyelashes, waxing. Andrea is very cool. I love hearing her speak Portuguese ;) Anyway, I showed her a haircut that I really liked - about shoulder-length with layers and bangs that are not too blunt - and she nailed it! Some other highlights (excuse the pun) was a deep conditioned treatment that sat on my head for 10 minutes and some delicious wine that helped me relax! She'll be my new hair stylist...I like her, the salon and her rates are affordable...Check her out!

I've been in Austin for 6 months now and I'd been avoiding doing anything to my hair because I was dreading trying out a new salon. Eventually my haircut had grown out and I was using the straightening iron every day frying my hair away. I took a chance in a groupon and ended up at Babszis. -Barbara was very communicative and extremely knowledgeable about what she was doing. She did a fantastic Brazilian blow out for an excellent price, probably the best in Austin for keratin treatment. She did such a good job that I went from using a straightening iron everyday to not even having to blow dry my hair. TLDR; very satisfied, would recommend.

You could tell that this is a labor of love for her and she truly enjoys it. Her salon was clean, comfortable, and bright. She offered me a drink and took her time. One thing I will point out is that I could not make it during normal hours and she kindly allowed me to come at 8:30 PM. I didn't get out of there till after 10:30 PM and she was extremely accommodating and friendly. We should celebrate and patronize local small businesses. I got a fantastic haircut and color and I'm very glad I tried her out! I will be back!

I drove by Good to Go Studio a thousand times before finally spotting it one day. I hoped the…read morestudio took "walk ins" as I was desperate for an immediate haircut. Sure enough, Portia, studio owner, greeted me with a warm smile, had time to fit me in and had me take a seat. Portia is very talented and always knows just what I want. I'll take in a photo of the haircut I want and she gets it to a "tee". If I don't have enough hair for a particular style, we work together to grow, style, cut and in time, we get there. I hear she's equally talented with color application, though I've not had color treatment (yet). I've recommended friends who are "afraid" of seeing someone new and Portia "WOWS" them every time. Her rates are reasonable, she's established in a cozy niche in the North Loop area and is involved with bettering our community. She's working on expanding her studio, though sadly the remodeling project is at a temporary standstill. So, go see her, and tell all your friends. As soon as her expansion is complete she'll be offering massage and an array of other sundries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 082209: Whoever owns the building at 207 E 53rd Street is obviously an unfair, underhanded landlord. I went to Portia at Good To Go Studio for years. In the last year she was SO excited as she rented the opposite corner of the building and had TWO spaces leased. After a great deal of remodeling, expense, and sheer excitement at expanding her business, seems the landlord got a better offer from "new, other" tenants and greed overtook his morals. Portia was evicted from the shop with no notice, and lost all of her investments into the recent improvement and remodeling and the additional space she had leased. This totally sucks. I heard through the grapevine that Portia was renting a chair in some shop out at Lakeline Mall, which ended up being temporary. Latest news is that she and her teen son moved to Oklahoma. Portia you are greatly missed. I've made a personal desicion to ban whatever present/future businesses exist at 207 E 53rd Street. My apologies to those renters/businesses that rent from the building owner. Beware of this building owner, you never know...one day YOU might show up to run your business and told you must leave with no notice! My decision to BAN this building is the only way I know how to NOT patronize the owner of this building in any way whatsoever.

I'm pretty sure she's the only employee they have right now, but she was awesome. She was friendly, she was fun, and when she wasn't sure about how best to take me from white blond to dark brown, she called to find out. I love that she didn't guess and just do whatever she wanted. It showed she really cared about my hair. It took almost three hours, but the end result was a color I loved. She'd even stayed an hour later than she was supposed to to finish my hair up. It looked beautiful. She even suggested some sulfate free shampoos that would help make my color last. I scheduled a follow up appointment for three weeks later to get my hair trimmed the week before my birthday. I explained that Wednesdays were my only available days, and she and the receptionist readily pulled out the appointment book to check dates. We settled on the eighteenth, so that my hair would have a week to grow before my birthday. They wrote the date down on a sticky note and put it on the appointed day and time. They said not to worry, that they would put it in the book in ink. On the appointed day, I couldn't remember if they had set it for four or five, so I called in the morning to confirm. Only the receptionist (the same one from before) said I didn't have an appointment. Daniella NEVER works on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, and it was impossible that I'd been in on a Wednesday before. I reminded her of my coloring, and she said that someone else must have told me wrong. Daniella didn't work on Wednesdays and would not have booked an appointment on that day. But Danielle scheduled me herself. I had no alternative. I had to go somewhere else for my trim, and I loved my last minute stylist so much I booked her to do my perm next week, although I had told Daniella I would be in to have a perm done with her. I find myself wondering what they did with the sticky note with my appointment. If she knew she wouldn't be there, why bother writing it down at all? Did she mean to come in and the note just fell out? I have no idea, but I do know that the amazing color and the fun vibe do not outweigh the lost appointment. The work Daniella did was amazing, and she's really nice and easy to talk to, but if you go there, make sure they write your appointment in ink in the book and not on a sticky note over the date and time. Otherwise you might just find yourself looking for a last minute opening somewhere else.
