I've recommended so many friends to friends who love my cut and color by Kelly Lyons. The small salon has a nice vibe and plentiful parking. You'll enjoy your time with Kelly. She's a lovely person. read more

This quaint Salon has a robust and lively atmosphere. Stopped in today to get highlights/lowlights and a cut. Brittany was my Salon Artist. I say Artist because I am over 50 and when I left I felt younger, vibrant and looked 30s again. Everyone is welcoming and cordial. Definitely a hidden gem in the Austin area. read more

No wonder they have 5 stars the stylist I had was worth them:) the place itself had a good flow and looks deceptively small. Bumble and Bumble products looked like a staple here, a line I read about but have never really used. I purchased some on my way out :) Payton was my stylist. I was new to town and definitely looked to Yelp to help what can be a very daunting task! You guys killed it:)) Payton is beautiful and confident. Payton took what I already liked about my hair and took it to the next level. The three words I would use to describe my newest cut and color.....I love it;) Price was what you would expect at a salon. Thumbs up BoB salon!!!!! You deserve your 5 star rating:)) read more

Let me preface by saying that I have gone to the same guy for my hair for over 10 years. I moved to Austin over a year ago and have been putting off finding someone new. I've been emotionally scarred in the past so this was no small feat. I furiously did research and I came across Michelle at BOB Salon, and I am so happy I found her! She is truly AMAZING! The consultation before we started put me completely at ease. She intently listened to what I wanted and then asked me asked a lot of questions to make sure we were both on the same page. If you've ever left somewhere hating your hair, you know how important it is that you feel like you're being understood, and she definitely made sure of that. Getting the right blonde is serious business and she freaking NAILED IT! She did a heavy blonde highlight and then also brought up my base color/roots to a lighter shade, so my hair has beautiful dimension. My highlights look phenomenal and the cut is great, too. She totally exceeded my expectations, and I can't even express how much I love it! All the hearts. If you are looking for a true blonde expert, are looking for someone new after moving, or if you're just looking for an amazing and talented person for your luscious locks, I would recommend Michelle a million times. I am so relieved and so thankful to have found her. I can't wait to go back for more of her blonde magic! PS I have raved about Michelle, but I also loved the atmosphere of BOB Salon. It's a cool, non-pretentious space. They offered me a beverage as soon as I walked in and made me feel right at home. Thank goodness I've found my "home" hair salon in Austin! read more

Dennis Kraft is a amazing! He's been my hairstylist for 21 years. I've had a pixie cut to long locks, bleach blond to mahogany, highlights to lowlights. He does it all & does it all well! His staff is always the most hospitable & fun to be around. I've referred many a friend who love Dennis & Bob Salon. If you haven't been, try them out! You'll be so happy you did. read more

I've seen my share of hairstylists since moving to Austin. It's been a long, suffering road filled with disappointment after disappointment. Luckily, I found Bob Salon on Yelp but the stylist I saw only once there ended up leaving suddenly. Not a huge heartbreak for me since we hadn't forged a connection. No love lost but I certainly wasn't looking forward to trying another new stylist. Fortunately, Bob reached out via email letting me know my previous stylist had left and that if I wanted to follow, they'd miss me but if I wanted to try another stylist they'd offer a 50% off discount. The offer was too good to let pass so I scheduled my next appointment with Tricia Lee. I walked back into Bob with very low expectations and ready to be disappointed again. I'm happy to report, I wasn't disappointed at all. As a matter of fact, I am proud to announce that I have finally found "the one." Tricia was so easy to talk to. The whole process was easy breezy. I didn't have a nervous stomach at all. Tricia completely put me at ease and when I walked out, I was so happy with the end result. Originally I talked to her about Balayage but since she didn't have the proper tools for application, she did her own form and it turned out great. It was the great compromise between highlights and my natural dark blonde color. Tricia really won my trust and I truly look forward to returning. read more

Dan Logan is still my stylist. I'm very particular about my hair and change it up often. Dan can look at a picture in a magazine I bring in and interpret that style into one that suits me. I can get in for appointments, there is easy parking. I don't have fight traffic to get there. Dan's stories make me laugh and cry at the same time. He's also a good listener. After one appointment I felt like we were old friends. Last funny story. First time I was there he not only did a cut and color, but finished up with a great blow out. I'm a Mom and it wasn't date night, so soon my hair was up and I was at the grocery store...where I ran into Dan. He looked at my hair up and sighed. "All that work for nothing." We then laughed so hard I think I peed. (He still blows my hair out when I'm in, but has enlisted my husband, whose hair he also cuts to encourage me to keep it down for the day. Aiming to please, I try to see Dan when we have a sitter that night.... read more

Payton does wonders!!! There's a reason this place gets such high reviews! Expensive, but totally worth it!! I just moved to Austin a month ago and I wanted a new look/stylist. I got blonde highlights done on my dark brown hair. I also have olive skin. Do you know how challenging it is for a stylist to successfully pull this look off?! Payton definitely delivered! My hubby and friends love my new look too! :) I brought in a picture to show Payton the look I was going for and she offered expert advice. I originally wanted short bangs, but she advised that longer bangs would look best for what I want--and she was right! Payton is talented, knowledgeable, funny, and super sweet! Glad I found my new stylist! read more

Owner of this place is a poor quality soul I am sent here to install hair wash station, I give estimate and owner tells me to go a head and do work, once I'm almost done he calls in to my employer and starts wanting job done half price then after I refuse because we already reached agreement he says continue work , I'm am 3 connections from finishing job and guy asks me to take my tools and leave I would highly recommend staying away from this guy actions speak volumes , I get paid by the job so since he pulled his crap I am out of money and I have a disabled son a pregnant wife and a house to maintain I guess some people don't bother to care about screwing you over read more

I have seeing Dennis Kraft at Bob Salon for over 10 years now. He has built an excellent team at a great location and is a true professional styling artist. Dennis & the team at Bob Salon have been trusted to style many well known Austin celebrities and public figures. It's no wonder... they have been in business as long as they have with a VERY loyal following. Book your appointment today! read more

Sandra and the crew are the best. I had a short cut and it was perfect. My friends have had color done there and they LOVED it. Wonderful people. read more

I kissed a lot of frogs to find my Fitz! This salon is my matching glass slipper. I had an absolutely wonderful experience here Friday. I was at a point where I had been going to a high dollar salon for a couple years and I just wasn't happy with my hair anymore. I had seen several stylists in my search for a new one and they were ok but I was never wowed... Fitz (at BOB) is 5 stars WOW! He really listens to you and instantly was someone I just trusted. Someone that oozes talent and skill (if that even makes sense). He took a bad haircut job I received the months prior and turned it an amazing, full bodied magazine worthy coif. AND out of all the years people just highlighted my hair with bleach. He actually took the time to choose two complimentary blonde actual colors and alternate them expertly into the most beautiful color job I've received in probably 10 years. My buying haircut groupon days are over. My blind hair test days are over. Fitz is my prince! read more

Bob Salon just closed .... :( Located on West 35th Street close to Mopac, this upscale and professional salon has friendly, well-qualified staff. Bob is located in a beautiful house that provides a great environment for a salon. The streets around the salon include businesses and residences so parking can be tricky - you should allow a few extra minutes in order to avoid pre-appointment stress. read more

Loved James at Bob Salon! I came for the groupon and they treated me very well. I really appreciated James's special attention to my curly hair. He really listened to my likes and dislikes about my hair and how to style it (on in my case NOT style it). He cut my hair wet, completely dried it and then re-cut based on the way my curly hair fell and moved. He cleared out the trouble spots I have with my hair, and made sure I was really happy with my cut and style. He showed me lots of pointers for quick styling of my hair with will make my life so much easier. I was never pressured to by products, but I did - because I loved the Bumble and Bumble curl definer that he used. The atmosphere was lovely and peaceful. I felt pampered and taken care of - just what I needed after a long week. read more

First I have to start by saying, I love the staff at Bob Salon! Lizzie, my hairdresser who I have gone to for 15 years, really knows both cut and color. I currently have short, short hair, which is hard for a lot of stylists to perfect on a woman. I always leave pleased and get lots of compliments on both my cut and how long my color lasts. Second, I love the location. So many salons in Central Austin you have to search for parking, and then walk. At Bob you just pull up and walk right in. Third, they carry the cutest jewelry and accessories for cheep! I always pick some up on the way out the door for gifts for friends. Would give it more than 5 stars if I could! read more

Thank you Lizzie Horn!!!! When I go to lizzie I give her total freedom to do what she thinks will look best. She has helped me choose what works best for my face and, with being a busy mum, what will take the least amount of time to do in the morning. She does an amazing blonde color. If you want blonde, this is the lady to go to. I have gotten TONS of compliments along the way. A few of my friends now go to her after seeing my hair. She does great work, and can be trusted to do a fantastic job. Not only does she do an amazing job with hair, she is super easy to chat to and always happy every time I go in. Thanks Heaps Lizzie read more

Nicole is great! I followed her from her former salon to Bob's Salon and whenever I'm lucky enough to be in Austin, I definitely have her do my hair. I don't know how it is for most people, but I usually like the haircut a few days after it's grown out a bit.. but the first time I went to Nicole I walked out loving the cut! Additionally, the salon's staff is great and it's in a cute house that is totally Austin. I believe the last time I heard, she only works Saturdays and Mondays now, so I'd definitely recommend booking her in advance. read more

Well it's been almost 3 years since my original review for Bob Salon and going to see Tricia Lee is still an absolute highlight. It's a SHAME how bad I am at rescheduling timely so today when I walked in, my hair was raggedy for sure. She put some spark back in it with color and a super cute angled cut that gives my hair body and shine. (I'm starting to sound like a Pantene commercial.) Honestly the transformation she did to my hair today - made me get up and hug her - there are simply no words when someone with skills makes you feel glamorous and during grad school finals week no less! I have recommended Tricia to numerous friends and she quickly becomes their regular stylist. She's down to earth and quick witted without any of pretense. She's been doing hair for 14 years and knows her stuff so I trust her after some less pleasant salon experiences elsewhere. Bob Salon is located right off 35th St & Jefferson in cute spunky building that's hard to miss with plenty of parking. read more

I've been a client of Lizzie's for 10 years. She is fantastic! My hard-to-tame long wavy/curly hair always looks terrific after a cut and blow-dry, and she shapes it so well that it holds up for 3-4 months between visits. Not only is she an excellent stylist, she is also a great person to chat with. I'm not a girly-girl by any means, and so any pretentious place would be a big turn-off for me. BOB is a very cute salon with a low-key vibe. There are a lot of talented folks there and a super nice staff. BOB rocks! read more

I just went to see James @ BoB today and he was consistently great! This was not a one hit wonder experience. He listened to my concerns with the coloring and went that extra mile to provide the great customer service he did from my last appointment. I left feeling beautiful and know I have found my colorist/stylist. I look forward to my next appointment! read more

I have been going to Tricia Lee for years. Recently, I went in because I needed a change. We cut my hair into a "bob" (where did I get that idea from? :) and I was a little nervous. Not only did Tricia listen to what I wanted but gave me a cut that I NEEDED; easy to style, funky but still sleek. My color is always right on and I get compliments almost daily. (I am a redhead and no ever guesses it's not natural) I have never had the kind of care that Tricia puts into every appointment. I look forward to coming in every time. Bob Salon is so lucky to have such a talented stylist. Thank you a million times over!! read more

Sandra Thornhill at Bob Salon is the BEST! I had long, long, wavy hair for years, and after I turned 40, was looking for a stylist (had been cutting my own hair or doing the Supercuts thing, YIKES) I'm somewhat of a tomboy, not really into the hair/makeup/girlie thing, so I thought it would be a good idea to check out my friends' do's and ask the most consistently well groomed one where she got her hair did. Luckily my good friend Barbara (who has a VERY short pixie cut) turned me on to Sandra. I made an appointment, and fortified by Starbucks and a very understanding BF, made my way into the salon. Very cute old house, with great decor and when you walk in the door, you are offered coffee, water or soda, which is great. I waited for just a few minutes (great magazine selection, btw) and then I met Sandra. Thankfully, she was very approachable, and in I went to the shampoo room. O..M...G....having NOT been to a salon in a verry long time, someone else shampooing your hair is an orgasmic experience, I must say! They use Bumble and Bumble products and the shampoo and conditioner they used were perfect for my curly, somewhat frizzy (thanks, Austin humidity!) Roseanne-Roseanna Danna hair. Perfect cut, perfect chairside manner (she's a dog person, just like me!) I moved away from Austin for about 4 years, and hand to God, did NOT get my hair cut during that time, scared of having a less than Sandra experience. Back in Austin, booked an appointment and ta daaaahhh..I have good hair again! They are in a new, even cuter house than before, on Jefferson, but everything else was just as amazing as I remember. Sandra keeps my hard to tame mane under control and I love their products too, and the great thing is they don't push them. She asks you what you use (Frizz Ease for me mostly) and she lets you know how to use affordable products more efficiently. One cut with her and you will never go anywhere else, I promise. read more

Cut color genius. Huge heart. Funny guy. Badass. Dan Logan. Talent. So my daughter is studying Haiku's this evening... Anyhoo...I love this guy. He's like the Adele of the hair world. Effortless talent. I truly believe that Dan Logan could cut and color my hair to perfection while standing on his head in a blindfold and singing the ABC's backwards. He's a natural with years of experience. It also doesn't hurt that he is one of the sweetest, kindest guys I have had the privilege of knowing. He's one of those people that has a positive aura about him. And he makes me laugh -- often! I always look forward to my 1.5 hours spent with Dan and leave all the better inside and out. He's good for the hair and the soul! The lovely ladies at the reception desk are a sweet and fun bunch, too! They project a laidback vibe without ever sacrificing professionalism. (Sorry for not writing you a Haiku, too. I'm fresh out of creativity.) read more

Reading about all the platinum blondes here, I had a little trepidation as I wanted something warmer. I told Peyton that I like to play with color to give dimension to my long, thick hair. Being over 40, I find that ashy blonde can easily read 'gray', so I was looking for caramels and light golden brown highlighted with light golden blonde. Peyton delivered and my hair is glorious, full of subtle nuance and not so subtle shine! read more

Dennis is the best and his salons are always top notch! Love the salon and all the fun products they sell! Would recommend it to anyone.

I am so jealous reading these reviews about Fitz. I don't live in Austin, but Fitz was my stylist for 30 years. Every time I visit Austin I have him do my hair. When I come home people comment on my hair and ask, who did it. It's kinda fun to say, "Well, I fly to Austin to get my hair done". I have tried for years and paid tons of cash to find a stylist in my area and in LA that even comes close to Fitz. I have given up my dream of being blonde because my poor hair has been so traumatized by stylists that can't keep me blonde and keep my hair healthy. To live in Cali near the beach and not be blonde is a crime by the way. Oh, and his reds.....THE BEST. So here I sit with my natural color which is not fun, I run over to a cheepy salon to get a trim every 3 mos until the next time I make it to see Fitz. I miss you Fitz...Bob Salon is so lucky to have you..... read more

Sooooo, two more five stars. Payton has now cut my hair (fabulous). I have received so many compliments. She has also cut and colored my other daughter's hair. She did pink on almost half of her head. My daughter is ecstatic. It's such a relief to have FINALLY found a great stylist, after much a long search. Payton is not a only fabulously talented, she's also a sweetheart. Payton is now our family's favorite hair guru. I recommend her over and over! read more

I went to Bob Salon a few weeks back and it was awesome! I had never been but saw rave reviews and a cute studio, so I asked for a stylist that could cut a mean shag and was handed off to Alex. He's incredible! Alex owned his own salon (in Alaska! Which was crazy in itself and I had many questions about that alone) for over a decade and told me he was very good at what he does. This was pretty much exactly what I wanted to hear when I visited a new salon and a new stylist to boot! I asked for a shag hair cut (which has probably gone in and out of style quite a few times since I've been getting those kinds of cuts....), pulled out my handy Pinterest board reserved for this kind of thing, and let him go to town. While he was cutting my hair, he told me all kinds of neat tips for optimal hair care while not pushing products left and right - something I really appreciated. I learned a lot while I was there! As much as I wanted to walk out of there looking exactly like one of the Olson twins, I settled with having their hair. Great experience and I will be back for more cuts! read more

Thank you Michelle!!! Michelle Weber gives amazing cuts. Michelle's attention to detail is amazing and she always makes it fun! I'll never get my hair cut anywhere else. She gets my vote for coolest hair stylist in Austin! See you next time Michelle!! read more

Danny Logan is AMAZING! I'm a dirty blonde naturally and had been looking for years for a great colorist in Austin who can do natural looking blonde highlights. He was the one!! I usually have to go back to Dallas just to get my hair done. He has a great personality as well and is a lot of fun to talk to. He will listen to what you want and do it perfectly! Love Danny!!! He is amazing y'all! read more

Bob Salon - No filter or edits! Look how well he blended the colors together! (This pic taken 3.5 weeks after he did my highlights) - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Kari is my curly hair savior! Thanks to her skills and ouidad products, my hair has never looked better! If you have curly hair, you owe it to yourself to get a ouidad cut and/or style. read more

I love this place! Cool, friendly staff at a midtown Austin boutique salon. Dennis creates the best, most natural blonde color in town. He is a true master with color and knows how to keep my hair healthy as I color regularly. Sandra and Lizzie are also amazing stylists. Many of my friends and acquaintances have gone to BOB to become forever clients. read more

Sandra is the absolute best! She's friendly & professional. She understands my wants/needs & never fails to give me results that I love!

*******Finally! A TRUE BLONDE SPECIALIST! ******** I had been to two different colorists only to find that they didn't listen to me and I still didn't get the blonde color I was looking for. My two pet peeves are 1)Highlights that are brassy/orangish blonde color and 2)To leave a salon after just getting highlights with a bunch of dark roots showing, which is what the 2 previous colorists did. Why did I pay all that money just to leave looking like I need a touchup? Then I found Michelle Weber through Yelp and Thank God I did! Michelle listened intently to me and gave me the gorgeous blonde color I wanted, plus she completely understood what I wanted for my roots. She brought up my natural color a couple of shades lighter and brightened up not only my root base, but my hair in general. Michelle really cares about her clients and her work and it is very important to her that her clients leave happy. This is one picky client that feels and looks like the blonde Goddess I was meant to be! Michelle is a miracle worker and now is my go to guru for all my hair needs!! :) On an additional note, the salon is in a quaint little house and the other stylists are warm and friendly. It's a wonderful place to get your hair done! read more

Kari is an amazing hair stylist! I have extremely curly hair and she cuts it in a way that my curls fall perfectly. After she's done with my color & cut I walk out the salon feeling good about myself. Kari is not only an artist but she's also smart, warm, caring and fun! Go see her her you won't be disappointed! read more

I started seeing Sarah Kavakich at BOB a few months ago and am thrilled to have her as my stylist! I'm sure she does beautiful things with blonde hair, but I was delighted to find someone who doesn't try to turn brunettes into Blond Wanna-Be's, which is common in Texas. She strikes a great balance between listening to my needs and ideas and giving me her thoughts on what will look and work best for my hair. Currently she is working on building her clientele and has a good amount of availability, which selfishly is great for me since I don't usually pre-book my appointments. I know she's a rising star and that it's only a matter of time before that changes! In terms of the salon itself, it has great energy. It's a cute little house that has the bonus of being both Centrally located and having enough parking -- woo hoo! The salon/house itself is delightfully decorated and they are extremely hospitable. The best part for me is that there are no haughty attitudes among the staff and, unlike so many other salons, it doesn't reek of drama. IMO opinion it's not hard to find a decent stylist in this town but it's harder to find a salon that's not ripe with histrionics among the staff. Dennis, the owner, seems to foster a nice community there and inspire his staff to provide quality service in a welcoming environment. read more

Cutest/Best salon in Austin award! This quaint little place is going to be your best find in Austin, by far. I'd been going to the same stylist in my hometown for years and was reluctant to change but now that I've been living in Austin for three years, I'm so glad I decided to have Michelle Weber do my hair! She has been my stylist twice now and has done a fantastic job both times and I can't her thank her enough. She listens to what I have to say but also offers suggestions which I can appreciate. She is also super friendly and a blast to hang out with for an hour so I love going to get my hair done and it's not another one of those items you "need to do" but actually look forward to going! I pay a little more than I was used to, (I'm from a small town and was spoiled), but you also get what you pay for and I've unfortunately learned my lesson with other salons and can say that Michelle is well worth it! The rest of the staff is also very friendly and helpful so the salon just has a genuinely good vibe and atmosphere. Can't wait to go back again for another great experience!! read more

I saw Kristen today for cut and full highlights and she really went the extra mile. I have a LOT of hair and was using a Groupon, which sometimes means you don't get the best service, but Kristen took the time to make sure I got exactly what I want. She was friendly and conversation flowed easily. Thanks for a great experience Kristen; I will definitely be back. read more

Great haircut with Tricia! My hair came in looking okay but my bangs were a mess - she listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to do with my almost-wavy hair. Even convinced me to try a new style (holy crap my hair came out short). She's super nice and easy to talk to, so she's fun if you're chatty. Pretty pricey normally but I came in with a Groupon; wasn't charged anything over that price. She also made sure to cut it so that it would grow out nicely, which it definitely did. I've been getting tons of compliments on it. read more
