    My latest cut!  I  it!
    Keith P.

    I've been seeing AKB for 8 years now and I just love it. Not only do I get a great cut and a great price, but I really enjoy my time in his chair. I have at least 5 friends, men and women, who also love him.

    A.K.B. always exceeds my expectations! This is my hair color in the sun with NO filter.

    A.K.B. exceeds my expectations EVERY time! In my last visit, we talked about going the more natural looking red route and not so much the "Ariel" red. WOW did he exceed my expectations!!! I just posted the recent pictures and I've actually had people ask if this is my natural hair color lol Just when I thought I couldn't be happier... Thank you A.K.B!!!

    After AKB's magic!
    Dani B.

    AKB is the best. I went in without having a hair cut in over two years and a dye job over a dye job (completely fried- I seriously couldn't even run a brush through it). He made my hair look and feel good and showed me different ways in which I could style it and how to take care of it. He'll make you feel like a total VIP, but better than that, you'll feel awesome every day, not just while you're in his chair. He gives you the tools to keep up you're great looking hair. He is the best you'll find; not just in Austin, but anywhere. Pictures speak louder than words: you can check out the miracle he worked on my hair in my before and after photos (can we say mom burn-out for the befores?). Because it was nothing less than a miracle, at least to me!

    Most of the haircuts and styling I've had in the past were good, but nothing comparable to Anthony's work.

    Amanda was my wonderful stylist. I needed a haircut badly! She deep conditioned, added layers, and…read moreround brushed my hair to soft and glossy perfection. The salon staff was very welcoming and accommodating too. The salon itself is modern, beautiful, and clean. I look forward to coming back in a few weeks!

    I have been coming to Urban Betty for over 18 years. This salon is one of my favorite places in…read moreAustin. it is well run, professional and a beautiful place to spend self care time. I have been to multiple stylists- and have experienced 5 throughout the years and have had extremely positive experiences with each stylist. My current stylist is Averie. Averie does my color, cut and extensions. She is truly a talent- just phenomenal. She has been able to match my color perfectly. i am so happy with my hair and feel like a new woman. She has gone out of her way to teach me proper hair care and maintain my extensions. She is honest and I trust her. I've also seen witnessed her training interns and I've been incredibly impressed with her management skills. She is so good with people and very intelligent. Her calm demeanor and wisdom puts everyone at ease. I feel so lucky to have Averie as my stylist and to have been taken care of at Urban Betty for so many years. This place is an absolute gem in Austin. Smart, professional and high quality service. I have never felt rushed with her- she has always taken her time with me. I have had ZERO issues and have always felt like a million bucks every time I walk out of the salon- Averie always makes my hair perfect.
