Not only did…read morethey do my hair/make-up (bride), but also that of my entire bridal party (3 bridesmaids, 1 Mother-of-bride). Prior to our wedding day, I met with Shannon and Danielle about my wants/needs for the day of and they were just a joy to work with. Our conversation flowed smoothly and you can see their passion in their work. When my Mom also wanted a trial done before the day, they accommodated her needs (especially concerns regarding mask usage and COVID). On the day of the wedding, they arrived on-time and were patient with my group; many who wanted "eyes only" done for the wedding due to mask usage. We had wonderful conversations the day of the wedding, and tons of laughter! When most of us asked for natural/neutral tones, Shannon delivered on her ability to make it work for each of our skin tones. Also, if you have questions or concerns about fake lashes, DON'T. The lashes that Shannon uses are AMAZING!!!! They don't look fake or gaudy, they look natural and beautiful! They accommodated the needs of limited hairspray (my husband is allergic) as well as ensured they had latex-free lash glue for one of my allergic bridesmaids, Truly a joy to work with!

I am so grateful that I booked Shannon and Melissa for my wedding…read more For my makeup, Shannon was great at taking into account my preferences and making me feel absolutely beautiful without feeling too made up. Melissa took such care and effort with my hair. She also asked me my preferences about whether I wanted the front tresses up or down.. I told her up and then realized as she was almost done that I should have said I wanted them down. She refused to let me just say "No it's alright" and redid the entire braid. I have never felt more beautiful in all my life. I can't wait to see the pictures. Beyond their skill, they are lovely to work with and chat to. They definitely are in the right profession and I recommend them very highly.

If you haven't checked out Southern Charm salon and boutique, you're missing out! A friend…read moresuggested I try Cari Reynolds after my stylist moved to London. I knew I had to move on to someone new eventually, but it was hard! I'm over it now and happy. Cari does magic with her color concoctions. Today I showed her a picture of the color I wanted and she matched it without hesitation. It's like she can look at the color, and innately know what to mix to bring the color to life! Also, my hair is wavy by nature, and I've had my share of bad haircuts growing up. Not everyone knows how to cut curly/wavy hair. However, Cari does it beautifully and she is nice to talk to too.

Thanks Cari!!!

Blo Bar is my favorite place to go for a blowout! I love that their salons are in smaller shopping…read morecenters where you can park right in front of the entrance. 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 booked my first-ever blowout as a way to treat myself after a few stressful weeks at work. 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.

This team brought…read moreincredible energy to our getting-ready day- they were professional, warm, and fun to be around. Every woman in our bridal party felt and looked absolutely beautiful. They were also incredibly flexible when our scheduling got a little chaotic. Not once did they make us feel stressed- they simply adapted and kept everything moving with grace. As for my hair, I asked for a teased, bohemian braid, and my stylist not only nailed the vision but personally threaded tiny flowers throughout. I was not prepared for how magical it would make me feel. That level of thoughtfulness and artistry is rare, and I will never forget seeing it for the first time in the mirror. If you are looking for a team that will make you look stunning AND make the experience genuinely fun, look no further! Highly, highly recommend.

Alexis, Alexis, Alexis! Hands down, she is the epitome of a true professional hairdresser. I've…read morebeen going to her for over five years, and over that time, she's become just as much a friend as she is the person I trust with my hair. What I love most about Alexis is that she knows her stuff, and she's never afraid to tell me what I should, or definitely shouldn't, do with my hair. She has a direct, no-nonsense approach, which I absolutely appreciate, but it's always balanced by the genuinely kind heart she has. She truly listens, knows what will work, and somehow always manages to make me feel like I'm in the best hands. Five years later, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. I'm so grateful I found her! Also a shout out to her assistant Amanda, another true gem or a girl.

I came to Deep Roots for a corrective appointment after a previous color service elsewhere left my…read morehair uneven, too light in certain areas, and generally not in a condition I felt comfortable with. Mahshid had a last-minute opening, and I booked it because I needed an experienced corrective-color specialist. Mahshid's technical skill was clear from the beginning. She quickly identified what needed to be corrected and explained the plan in a way that made sense. She did a root melt, added lowlights, adjusted the tone, and cut my hair so everything blended naturally again. The difference was significant, and the final result looked intentional, full of dimension, and much healthier. Sophie supported the entire process by keeping everything organized, assisting hands-on, checking in with me regularly, and coordinating each step so the appointment ran smoothly. Her attention to detail made a longer service feel so manageable. Ella was also assisting and shadowing and she was so sweet and kind, besides being super gentle while combing and blow drying my hair. I'd also like to acknowledge Nia, who did my consultation the week before. She gave me an honest assessment and encouraged me to take the opening with Mahshid since her own next availability was farther out. That transparency helped me make the right decision. I arrived feeling unsure about whether my hair could be corrected without more drastic measures, and I left with a result that restored both the color and my confidence, for real. I cried at the start from the disappointment on my hair, but then had happy tears at the end for the unbelievable results. This was a straightforward, professional experience with a team that clearly knows corrective work well. I did pay for my service, so the reason I'm writing this review is only because their work truly deserves so much recognition! Ps.: also sharing because if there's anyone out there who's in panic-mode with their hair (like I was), they'll know they can count on this team without hesitation. Ps2.: they have lil snacks and drinks, and the vibe and energy is just cozy and fun.

It doesn't always matter that the library of photos is impeccable and makes you wish you could pull the trigger on vibrant colors that you definitely won't have the brain space to maintain... There's still something unknown. But you book anyway (best to do so through their website and varago). You cross your fingers, eyes, legs, and toes for a good experience, and wait for your appointment. I can confidently say, I was not disappointed. Stephanie of Bettie Bangs met me at the larger salon door, walked me back to her studio, and instantly made me feel welcome. We talked through my previous experiences, discussed future ideas I had, and she gave me a fabulous cut and style quickly and very reasonably priced. The salon itself was clean, cozy, and felt like a place full of friends - as the two stylists chatted between client conversations, interjecting stories and shared experiences. Excellent vibes all around. I'll be booking again for sure. Thanks for making the transition between stylists easy and pain free :)
