Tired of spending a fortune for a simple trim? That's how I found Edith at Transformation Salon. $35 & I can completely trust her with my long, thick, curly, unmanageable hair. Upon my first visit, I explained how I hadn't had a haircut in a couple of years, but, I'm wanting to grow my hair out as long as possible for my wedding the following (this) year. Delighted to find a new bride, three other ladies swarmed around me helping with my makeup & Edith on my hair. I left there looking like a Barbie Doll. I was so under-dressed, I made an excuse to go out! Years ago, I'd stopped into a MAC store as a birthday present to myself. I let one of the consults do a makeup application for me to find the right shades. I got out to the car & immediately wiped it off. The eye shadow & liners used did NOT work with my skin tone or personality. When Edith did my makeup at Transformation Salon, it was SO me & just flawless. She even did my makeup for me on Valentine's. I've seen Edith several times since for trims, but, as she suggested, I'm doing the PM keratin treatments in between. I can't even explain how soft my hair is. We've only taken about 3 inches off, but, my hair has grown even longer & healthier. As a quick side-note: My 11 year old son has long, straight, surfer dude blond hair. We've had so many scary haircut experiences, that it's difficult finding someone he'll allow to cut his hair. He's seen Edith twice & now refuses to go anywhere else. He even asked for her card in case she ever ventures beyond Lakeway. Edith & I recently did a first attempt with my bridal up-do ideas. Edith has a lot of fun playing with my hair and has her own creative touch that I will be so grateful for on my wedding day. We'll also be doing an airbrush makeup application for the day-of, so, I'll be scheduling an appointment soon so I can see how it will look. I'll add a picture from our bridal up-do session for now, & I'll be sure to post another soon after September from the wedding day! read more

I brought my son here first, when he was a second grader, when I finally got sick and tired of the choppy hideousness that generally passes for a kids' cut. Here we are, years later, still going back for more. The entire Transformations staff is friendly and talented, but Julian is our number-one guy. I will be very sad when the rest of humanity finally recognizes that Julian is actually a god in disguise and for his own safety he is whisked back to Valhalla where he belongs. Not a very sensible fear, but still--I fear it. Julian is the rare stylist who hears beyond the nonsense of your words ("Can you make it short, but leave it long? And lighten it up, but no layers?") and understands what you hope to be wearing on your head all day. More than that, he has the chops to make it happen. Every day, strangers stop me to remark on my beautiful hair. I tell them to talk to Julian. I hope they do. My son likes a super short do that needs a tune up every six weeks. It is never exactly the same cut--Julian refines the look every time and makes my son happier with each visit. I go every four or five months. That's because my cut keeps looking just as awesome as it grows out as it did the day he cut it. Up to a point, of course. And then I am always happy to visit Julian again. He is funny and kind, fun to talk to, and always makes my day. read more

Transformation Salon - Before: Short getting shorter! - Hair Salons Near Me - Lakeway, Texas

This place is amazing! The entire staff is super friendly and professional! I've been going here for a while and recommend them to everyone I know! Ana is my personal stylist, I trust her with my hair more than I do myself! What I love most is I can show her a picture of an idea I have and she will explain to me how my hair will look based on the style and cut. On several occasions she has shown me why a cut I like may not work with either the texture, direction or even just my type of hair and gives me options on how to achieve a similar look! And when I'm being lazy and don't care what she does, I still come out looking like a million bucks! Now I'm a guy so my hair length doesn't change too often but during one of my moms visits I decided I would treat my mom to the salon. She had just used an at home kit to color her hair and somehow it came out this odd purple/red/brown color. I didn't much care for it but since she had just done it she was afraid to recolor it for fear of damaging her already damaged hair so we went in for just a cut. I wish I had a before after to post but I can tell you that when I got back my mom had the most beautiful hair I had ever seen on her, it went from dull and dead looking to beautiful healthy looking hair! Even the color changed! It was gorgeous! I could go on for days but all I can say is if your looking for a place you have to come here! All of the stylist are amazing regardless of who you ch read more

I can say this truthfully, they are amazing. I recommend everyone to try them out. I absolutely love the work they provide not only for myself but my husband as well . He always comes home looking " Handsome " ;) ;) . So thank you to all the staff at Transformation Salon . You guys rock ... ;) read more

Transformation Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Lakeway, Texas

This is about my 7th year using Transformation Salon and I will look no further. When I started with this salon, Gina was my stylist. Once she transferred out of Austin, I selected Julian and could not be happier. Occasionally, I pull one of my last minute, "Hey, any room in the day for a cut?" And I may use one of the other ladies. I've never been disappointed. In addition to fabulous service and workmanship I love the products they sell and have used them religiously for years. If I ever did have an issue, I feel confident that they will take care me. I'm looking forward to my next visit which I believe is coming up soon! Cheers! read more

Julian did a great job with a bob for my four year old (not an easy task). He was patient and easy going with her and we will definitely be back! read more

I left a very poor review for this salon, as the stylist (Ana) that worked on coloring my hair, totally messed it up. I gave her the opportunity to fix it the next day and it was messed up even further. Therefore I gave the salon 1 star. However, the owner of the Salon Grace, was out of town and called me upon her return. She stood completely behind the stylists mistakes, apologized and refunded me all of my money. She even offered to fix my hair for free, which I declined. In addition, she sent me free product to condition my hair. Based on this, I would recommend trying this salon and either going to Grace or Adrian. read more

** Update: 02/15/2015** I was refunded $115 dollars. My total cost for color restoration was $245! Still extremely expensive! *** Don't plan on going back to them. I went in for a color restoration and was quoted $150.00 on the phone. When I went to pay for the services I was charged $325. I was shocked! I asked what am I being charged for? The stylist then began to list all the additional services that were added WITHOUT informing me that they were NOT part of the color restoration. I left feeling like it was a "bait and switch!" I contacted the owner, Grace and after her discussing me the ins and outs of color restoration without getting conditioner my hair would not have looked as good! I then explained that I am new to color restoration and would have NOT paid for the "extra" services. Their salon and website doesn't have pricing! So how was I supposed to know what I was getting. On the plus side, the stylist did a great job and the owner (reluctantly) agreed to refund me $115.00 off the total bill! Payment is still pending! read more

I want to thank Grace for fixing my stay at transformation. She was very sincere with her apology, even though she wasn't the one that did anything wrong. She fixed the problem and even threw in a haircut. Great customer service. I get that accidents happen, I'm just asking for someone to own up to it. Thanks Grace! read more

You can't go wrong. Transformation Salon is excellent in every way. It's a pretty salon, everyone is friendly and their skills are exceptional. I go to Gina and she is amazing. My previous hairdresser gave me the worst haircut. It was choppy, uneven and looked unfinished. I was going on vacation and basically had 1 evening open to get it fixed. Gina made the time and fixed my hair. It hasn't looked this good in years. I love it and get compliments all of the time. read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere and my haircuts were great, however, I had trouble with the color. I had several appointments with cut & color and each time I had to return for a color correction that added another half day of my time each time I visited the salon, and to add insult to injury was charged for it ...only to be blamed because I touched up my own roots in between color, which in 20 years has never happened before. Supposedly the Paul Mitchell color product does not work with well anything you may do on your own, (in my case L'oreal) which is ridiculous. read more
