I have been growing my hair out after doing a chemotherapy called Taxol back in 2021. Zander has been helping me transition my hair back into medium length. She has been cutting my hair for over 10 years now and is highly trained in Tony&Guy cutting skills. I used to be a hairdresser and worked with Zander before cancer and I can say she is one of the best. I don't trust many with my hair because it is very thick and wavy. The color & highlights were done by Steph and she did an amazing job. Very natural look and wonderful blending from roots to ends. read more

Brittany was amazing! Went in to get color done and she was attentive, fast and friendly. I highly recommend going to her!

The stylist who helped me, Jamie, is a godsend. Bradz is truly lucky to have this professional. Not only is she thorough and got to know my hair and needs before diving in, she is truly an expert at her craft. She is ridiculously talented and knowledgeable- she recommended a much better shampoo and conditioner for my hair, and gave me tips that have really helped me get the best hairstyle (French bob) I have ever had. She was also helpful to the other stylists- as she was cutting my hair she was teaching one of the newer stylists the technique behind the cut. All in all, I am extremely grateful to have been in her chair and could not recommend Jamie highly enough. I will definitely be coming back to her when it grows out, she has helped me transform my hair from completely lackluster to an actual chic STYLE. Thank you Jamie!!!! read more

I have been going to Bradz for 10 years. Sometimes for timing and travel I have gone somewhere else but nobody has accomplished what Bradz have. I love having my haircut by Jim. I have done highlights with the new talent as sometimes Jim is busy but he us always reviewing and assisting with anything I may want or need. Both of my daughters also get haircuts at Bradz. I just love it!!! I need to go soon as I have a mess due to being quarantined. read more

Bradz Salon - Hair cut by Jim. Toned highlights by new talent - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

I came here for a last minute haircut, and I was impressed by the hospitality and quality. My hair is stringy and long, so it can quickly become shapeless and heavy. The stylist really took into account my face shape and how I style my hair before actually cutting it. For the first time ever, I walked away with bangs that looked awesome and were practical for day to day without the need for heavy styling. Aside from the actual haircut, the location was easily accessible. Bradz is nestled in a classic Austin neighborhood, and their parking makes it easy to get in and out. The prices are very reasonable (it is Austin), and they have deals on Yelp too. I'll definitely be checking back in for my routine trims. read more

Wow I literally wouldn't even give this place one star but it makes you put at least some thing in order to give a review. This place is absolutely DISGUSTING. The Owner, Brad Wicall is a huge Piece of garbage. And so is his establishment they made my beautiful blonde hair purple and then gave me shampoo to wash it out and fix on my own. The owner was also asking about my mother and wanting to flirt with her while I was getting my hair done, he is a total creep and I feel bad for anybody that has to interact with him. At one point when we were discussing why my hair looks the way it is he said "I don't have to do anything here!" lol okay buddy let's see how well that goes over on the internet read more

I took my sons there yesterday for haircuts. They haven't had hair cuts in a LONG time. Mainly because my oldest son, 15, is super picky and rarely gets a haircut he is satisfied with, much less happy about. I made an appointment yesterday and got in the same day. One of the stylists name's is Kristen or Kirsten, and I don't remember the other one's name. (I wish I had done batter job of getting their names but I was just so distracted by how good my sons looked). But, let me tell you, they did an amazing job. AMAZING. My son Mateo loved his hair and he looks so handsome, but Caleb my 15 year old, Caleb is so happy with his hair. That never happens. She did exactly what he asked and was so careful and meticulous about the length and styling it just right. He has very thick hair, Mateo has curly hair and they both just did an outstanding job. I'm so happy with this place and will continue to take them there, but most importantly, they are so happy with their hair. read more

I've been going to Bradz for the 6+ years. I'm always so happy with my blonde. All of the stylists are so good at what they do! I think what sets the salon apart from others I've been to is the customer service. read more

My rating is not for the stylists at the salon but for the management and their scheduling practices. Over the past year, my appointment(s) times have been changed manually at the last minute by management which is almost always inconvenient to my schedule and I have to make another appointment for at least a week later. This has nothing to do with the online system but with a person in management manually changing my appointments and this is not just happening to me but other customers as well. Also when I show up, I think I am going to have my appointment with my regular stylist but then find out my appointment is with "new" talent or another person on their staff. I could understand this happening once and a while but every 3 weeks (yes my hair grows fast) So if you value your time and peace when getting your hair done, I would not go here since management does not care about your time or the person you chose to do your hair. However, saying all of this the stylists are very talented but the management is horrible. read more

BRADZ salon is one of the best Salons in Austin. It's not only an AVEDA Salon.. It's also both welcoming & beautiful inside! The stylist as well as the Owner Brad are all very talented. They do beautiful work & you will leave feeling like a million bucks!!! read more

I had a groupon for a facial. It was absolutely amazing! An hour of pure bliss!! I highly recommend. read more

I've been a customer at Bradz for over 5 years. Over this time I've had colors, cuts, styling... every time I have been extremely happy with my entire experience there. The salon itself is so charming and welcoming...along with the staff. The stylists are knowledgeable and professional, as well as kind and pleasant to be around. The owner, Brad, is there every time and visible...always with a smile on his face. He has been kind enough to donate many products to my best friend, who is going through chemo and losing her hair. He has never met her. I no longer live in Austin, but was there recently for a visit. I was able to get in for a wash and style and, as usual, it was a pleasure! Thank you Bradz Salon!!! read more

I'm new in town and was nervous to go to a new stylist but Michelle has cut my hair twice now and both times I've LOVED it. I get so many compliments! I'm happy to say I've found my new Austin stylist :) read more

THANK YOU BRADZ! I had my wedding last weekend and had some less then desirable service by a nail place in Austin. My mom called Bradz in a panic to remedy the situation and they came to the rescue. Suzie totally rocks, talked me through everything, and even shared info about stresses with her wedding. Skincare and counseling in one...who could ask for more! It's pricey but worth it...especially if it's for something important. read more

Great facial with Kris - She was really nice and gave me great advice on skin care. The reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 4 is that this place is more salon oriented, and my introduction was a bit uncomfortable. If you're going for a facial, you'll still have privacy, but there isn't really a waiting room. I stood awkwardly near the entrance by all the Aveda products until my appointment time. Also, I didn't feel very welcome when I first entered the salon (one of the girls gave me a judgmental up and down scan before asking, "can I help you?" ) Full disclosure: I can admit that I wasn't in my Sunday best, but I didn't look like train wreck. Also, the term "private lot" for parking is used loosely. It's definitely the parking situation you find in West Campus and Hyde Park where the lot is small and packed, surrounded by cars parked on the street, and you have to be extra cautious coming in and out since it's right by the Mo-Pac/Loop 1 exit. I think it's a pretty good place, but other places are better. read more

I went here because I had a spa week gift card to use and they were the only hair salon that accepted it and my regular stylist is on maternity leave! I had a highlight and cut. Colorist was right on time and very fast. Color was ok, nothing special like I wanted. Next I sat and waited for someone to shampoo and cut my hair. I waited for over an hour with color on my hair. I just cleaned my face and brushed my hair out and this is one of the worst haircuts I've ever gotten. Very uneven. Bangs totally whacked. For 190 bucks I expected perfection. I could have got this result doing my own hair. VERY disappointed. Felt like I was in an assembly line. No thanks. read more

So it was time for my biannual haircut, and since the stylist I used to see at another salon recently departed, I decided to try Bradz. I'm glad I did! My stylist, Malia, was awesome. She was really friendly, and I was impressed with how quickly she cut and dried my hair - I never felt rushed, she just seemed really efficient. With the Yelp check-in deal, my haircut was only $35. Yay! My boyfriend got a haircut from Jim, and he was also really happy with the results. He's thrilled that he found someone that understands his longish, thick, curly hair. I do think their front desk needs a little help. The girl at the counter was nice, but I was mis-charged for someone else's appointment, and then told the wrong price for a few makeup items I was interested in purchasing. Also, my boyfriend got some sort of freebie bag since it was his first visit, but I didn't get anything, even though it was my first visit as well. read more

Yes, I am a dude that goes to an actual salon to get haircuts. You will be paying a lot more than you do at Great Clips or any of those other 'quick cut' type places, but you get what you pay for. The service has always been good and friendly, and the one guy stylist there always greets me even though he has never cut my hair. With the exception of a few people, the turnover on stylists here is a little more than I would like (Amber was my favorite! I miss her!). However, all the ones I have had over my 4+ years of cuts have been pretty darn good. I always get my scalp massaged, and my hair washed which feels good and is nicely relaxing. Also, if you go and they offer you the 'free man facial' (it's not sexual.. get your mind out of the gutter), do not turn it down because it is awesome. Not much else I can say here. Bradz is a good salon with a good staff. Check it out if you are tired of getting bad $10 haircuts from Great Clips. Pros: Friendly Staff, Great Haircuts, Free 'Man Facial' Cons: Too Much Stylist Turnover, Parking is not Great, Pricey When Compared to 'Quick Cut' Places read more

This review is a little late considering it's been a couple of months since I received my facial. I love the aroma as soon as you walk in you can tell it's an Aveda salon. I waited downstairs for my Esti to pick me up but thought it was odd there wasn't a new client intake form. I mean I know it's Aveda and it's not like I was getting a chemical peel but there was no skin questionnaire. After I was changed and on the table she briefly spoke to me about my concerns but before analyzing my skin had already decided on what products to use... Which was odd to me. I work at a spa that sells Aveda and have a multitude of products at home. I was disappointed that she used what I had at home.. I wanted a little something different I mentioned being concerned with hyperpigmentation but it wasn't addressed. On the bright side she was really nice and friendly so that was a plus. I've heard nothing but good things about Bradz but my facial was like getting one from the Aveda Institute. I was really disappointed. read more

I've been a long time customer/patron of Bradz (6+ years) and I've had my good experiences and I've had my bad experiences. I have stopped going there to get my hair highlighted or colored because of the down right rude way one of their top stylists talked to me regarding the state of my hair color. But now that I only go for cuts and facials I have been happy with the majority of the services I have received. I really do think that it is hard to find good receptionists and have noticed that many of the people who work at their Concept Salon don't seem to be very good at customer service but at their 35th Street location they have higher quality people most of the time. Their new skin care form helps eliminate time in the session with Q&A and more time relaxing and getting your treatment. I did like that new improvement. I also like that they now have an e-mail confirmation they send out prior to your appointment to confirm the time and date. I believe that because they are so small that they might be outgrowing their location because when I was there I noticed that people were sorta piling up in their small reception area and because of the limited amount of seating I ended up just floating around looking at products for about 10 minutes, granted, Saturdays are probably their busiest days. Overall, I like the location and their prices do seem fair for the services that you receive. I got a customized hour long facial for $75 which included several different exfoliation treatments and masks. The foot soak while you wait in the room for the Aesthetician to return to the room is also a nice addition. The room is cozy and the decor is Southeast Asian inspired. Also, Amanda is a really amazing stylist and I got a super hip haircut from her that received many compliments. If you want more upscale their new Happy Salon on 6th Street is pretty awesome. I received several really nice facials from Suzie. They are a respectable, well priced, and not super trendy salon and I will continue to be a fan. read more

I had my hair cut at Bradz by Lauren and it is one of BEST haircuts ever! She listened to me and blended her vision with mine and it turned out perfect! Very nice experience and took her time! I will definitely recommend and will be a regular. Thank you your talent and your kindness. read more

The staff were super friendly and helpful, they take good care of you and listen to what you actually want. It's small with a lot of stylists but you have enough room to get your hair did :) We saw Jim for color and was finished by someone else. Both were friendly and polite though it seemed a little unorganised at times (kept saying someone would be cutting hair even though that wasn't ever the plan and different people kept saying they would be finishing even though none of them did). Don't let that discourage you though read more

Lauren cut my hair. She was very sweet and did a great job. She really knew my hair after quickly examining it and had the perfect recommendations for me. She also gave a hand massage which was awesome! I plan on returning to her. read more

I'm well known among my friends for never traveling north of 15th street for anything, but when I heard Michelle S. was back in town and cutting hair way up at Bradz I had to go up and check it out. No one has ever done such a great job with my hair as Michelle! Anyway, I came up here a couple weeks ago and got my hair trimmed and it turned out great, so much so that I booked another appointment for a week later to get color! The staff here is always very polite and friendly, and they give you a hand massage while you're getting your cut or color done! Awesome all-around experience. read more

Awesome first experience. Booking was easy over the phone. The salon is in an old bungalow and is warm, cozy and has a definite touch of old Austin about it. The owner is super friendly and personable. I loved the way my hair turned out, both Celeste (my colourist) and Dani (who cut my hair) were wonderful. I felt right at home. I also love the Aveda products-I keep smelling my hair!!! Highly recommended. read more

I received a wonderful 60 minute facial with Kristin. It was relaxing and rejuvenating. She was very responsive and attentive to my skin's needs. I love the Aveda products used by Kristin to help restore the moisture in my face. In all previous facial experiences, the esthetician leaves the room 1-2 times during the treatment. Kristin stayed the entire time and engaged in a fun filled conversation that was still relaxing. I will definitely be back and recommend Kristin to my friends. read more

Happy birthday Katie! Awesome job on my cut and layers! She gave me exactly what I wanted and listened to all my concerns I had. Brady was able to work with my schedule and get me in right away! This mama I so happy! read more

Bradz Salon - Got my free gift for checking in. Whoop whoop! - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I purchased a Google offer for a cut and facial last week. I called to make an appointment and they were actually able to get both appointments booked within the same week that I purchased the deal which was great. The customer service over the phone was great and they sent my confirmation emails immediately as promised. The location itself is really cute but the parking could have been a little better. I had my hair cut with Jenny who was really sweet. It started with a scalp massage which was really relaxing and then a shampoo. The cut looks great and she really listened when I said that I was trying to grow it out and didn't want much cut off. While getting my hair dried one of the receptionists/assistants offered me a hand massage which felt great. They touched up my make up before leaving. They offer the products the stylist used at check out but I didn't feel over pressured to purchase them as some of the previous posts mentioned. Everyone was very professional and friendly. I usually go to Toni and Guy and love my stylist there but I feel like Bradz gives you slightly more personalized attention and feels so much less commercialized. I'll definitely be back. read more

Once again, Katie works her magic on me! It's always a fun experience when I come in for a cut! read more

Bradz Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been going here for years. Jim is my stylist. I've always been very happy with this salon and can't really fathom going anywhere else. I don't have complex hair needs, but I'm picky on details. Never have had any trouble with that here! What's especially nice is that I know I can trust Jim's judgment on length and current styles. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful. The salon is in a charming old Austin home. The stylists all seem enthusiastic about their chosen profession. All positives for me! read more

Haircut Review: I highly recommend Jenny P as a stylist I am so impressed with at Bradz. I got my haircut by her 2-3 times at Bradz New Talent and so far 1x now that she is over at Bradz Salon on 35th. She is so nice, awesome at what she does, and easy to talk to. My hair is pretty boring, all I ever want to do is just clean up the ends, but I am always impressed when I walk out after letting her work her magic on my hair. Facial Review: I would highly recommend Kris for anyone looking to get a facial at Bradz. She listened to my concerns, made sure to give helpful suggestions on what to do for my skin, and never pushed the Aveda products on me which I appreciated. read more

I love how this salon carries Aveda everything! I can put my mind at ease with the products they use, because I know everything is top notch here. From the complimentary snacks to the friendly staff, everything was awesome. It's super close to where I live, too! I made my hair transformation here for around $200. Well worth my money. Jim knows what's up! read more

Love the way my hair looks. Lindsey knew exactly what to do to my hair and Jordan finished my hair with Toner and a haircut to have my hair looking healthy again. I like that it's a small place, everyone is friendly. read more

I don't know why I keep giving this place another shot! Call me a masochist, but I just keep hoping I will get more than a "blah" experience. The one and only time I received a really great haircut, I came in to see her for my next appointment and she had disappeared. No one seemed to know where she went, and I was never even informed that she left. And I had a standing appointment! Hmm.. funny how that works. Come to think of it, I rarely ever see the same person there twice in general. If I looked around the room at employees, they were all new faces. With that kind of turnover, it's a wonder they're still in business quite frankly. On top of that I have had a couple of scheduling errors with the gentleman that answers phones, where I've called and booked an appointment confirmed for say 12pm, I show up and am told my appointment isn't until 1pm. How does that happen calling to schedule on the same day?! And with the weird water pressures going on during my last visit, it felt like the sink was about to explode with my head in it! I keep wanting Bradz to wow me. Let's face it, this is a city full of high maintenance Aveda salons. I really just wanted this little homey old house to be the underdog that I could root for, but now I think it's just time to admit defeat and move on. It's a shame. read more

Loved the environment, the stylists all seemed to be please with their jobs. Dani was my stylist, and she was very upbeat and wondrous! She was very meticulous, and it definitely shows in the finish product. She asked just the right questions, and it turned out great. read more

Love my cut I got last time! I usually do it this one stood out ! today it's maintenance time - bang trim.

Best salon ever! I have been coming here since I moved to Austin 9 years ago. They always go above and beyond with their service. All the stylists that I have seen here are amazing. I also love Aveda products since they are natural and plant derived. I would never think about going to any other salon. read more

I've gotten my hair done a lot of places, and this is by far the best. The whole atmosphere is great- casual and laid back. Lindsey does my color and Jess does my cut. Seriously, amazing. They get it perfect every single time. I honestly feel like family whenever I go in there to get my hair done. Trust me, go! You won't be disappointed! read more

getting your first non-sexual facial can be a scary experience. well on that hand, i guess the sexual facial can be just as frightening, but i digress. i had quite an experience at bradz salon. first off, happiness for getting their 1/2 spa facial email and making an appointment in time. i anticipated a shorter version of the typical facial, as when you participate in 1/2 off specials, you don't get the benefits of the full-priced service. luckily i was wrong. jenny was incredibly gentle. her touch and manner were very soothing. i got to choose my aromatherapy scent, which was a hard decision since all 3 smelled wonderful. and the facial begins....lot's of cleaning, masks, lotions, etc. i was in heaven, so relaxed and eager about my next step. then the extractions begin.....what the hell!!??!?!?!?! i had that many blackheads on my nose? AAAHHHHHHHHHH!! the pain sucked. she did let me know she would stop if it began to feel uncomfortable. hell it was uncomfortable after the first one! but i let it slide. i sucked up my tears and prayed it would be over soon. everything else after that was blissful. more masks, hot towels and a relaxing dual arm rub helped with the agony of my nose. i'm very happy with my experience even though the extractions really hurt. my face did turn beet red in the areas she worked on so i would highly recommend going home after wards. the aveda products always smell so lovely but i am a soap and water girl. i was so close to buying the cleanser too. so i end with this advice: get on their web mailing list and take advantage of the 1/2 facials. they offer these a few times a month. call the minute you receive the email because they book up fast. enjoy! read more
