Only 2 nice people here are Steven and a lady that offered to blow dry me after I was treated poorly by another staff member. The salon is so outdated and really bad customer service. Aveda should be ashamed. read more

Eli did my platinum blonde hair. I highly recommend him for any color/bleach job. Absolutely obsessed! No breakage, just the tone I wanted and my hair is soooo soft. He is so funny and warm, I had a fun time and my hair looks great. read more

Garbo A Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came in with very high hopes. Shared inspiration pics and matched with Gina who told me what I wanted was easy. It's not even in the same realm. I had my appointment rescheduled and really worked with the salon. Came in and felt as if I was not listened to, stylist was too busy juggling someone else before their water turned off for some reason. I'm not interested in getting it fixed for free. A refund would be appreciated because now I have to find someone i trust to fix this mess. I will not come back to a place who promised me what I wanted the first time. The front desk receptionist understood and acknowledged why I felt why I did and even acknowledged it was not even close to what I wanted. If you cannot do what the client wants don't do it and disappoint them. I came in for a pick me up after a really tough time and came out feeling worse. I was recommended to y'all and even went through the process to be matched with a stylist. This was a terrible experience, will not come back or recommend. I want my money back so I can get it fixed by someone who can promise my results. I've had events this weekend I have cancelled because I'm Embarrassed and calling me constantly to come in and get it fixed isn't going to help. You lost my trust and my business. You lost me my hard earned money. Needless to say I am angrier than hell. I'd like my money back and to part ways with this salon forever. Not worth $400+ read more

For the past ten years, I've been a client at Garbo North. I've had various stylists through the years- but now I exclusively stick with Eli because he is great to work with. I've got lots of thick, course hair and I am transitioning from red into a "natural grey." Thanks for the great work, Eli! read more

The staff was very friendly and professional. Called ahead to see if they did mens haircuts and they said yes but when I got in the chair the stylist, who was very nice, said they couldn't do a fade. If you're a male looking to get your haircut here for the first time it's probably best to call ahead of time and speak directly with your stylist to see what they're able to provide. read more

Recently relocated from Florida, I discovered this salon on Yelp. Prior to my move, I filled out a form on their website. Gina reached out weeks before my appointment to discuss my hair goals. On the appointment day, the salon was welcoming and tidy. I love that the washing station is in a separate room. Gina, incredibly skilled, provided me with the best haircut I've ever had in addition to helping me cover up my grays. She was well-versed not only in Aveda products but also in others I mentioned. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this salon and Gina. Thrilled to have found such a fantastic new hair salon in a new city! read more

My daughter and I went to Garbo salon together today for the first time. Our stylists, Eli Bahsous and Brittany Rivera, were friendly and welcoming, making our visit very comfortable. I'm very pleased with my own haircut from Brittany and appreciate her suggestions for possible styles in the future! I think my haircut is attractive and cooler for summer, which is exactly what I had hoped for. My daughter said that she appreciated that Eli listened to her requests and gave her an attractive haircut that was suited to her tastes. We would definitely return, and recommend it to others! read more

Great experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They for sure know how to get repeat business. Got a face wash and moisturize free with the cut. Also got a custom goodie bag on the way out! Ask for Elise *i think* read more

Marianna is amazing. She is my go to girl for hair,makeup ect. She is caring,attentive and always sends me away feeling beautiful! Thank you !!! read more

Garbo A Salon - Marianna is so amazing! Every time I visit she makes me feel amazing. Very attentive, caring and extremely gifted at what she does!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been looking for a new hair stylist since I moved to Atx two years ago! I am so lucky to have found Mariana! She managed to create the exact look I wanted and took great care of me! I highly recommend. The only reason I put four and not five stars has nothing to do with the stylist but just cuz the pricing is a little insane, but if you have the money definitely go see them! read more

Do not go to Jenna with curly hair. My haircut looks like a mushroom and completely not what I asked for or described in the 2 seconds she took to ask me questions. She must have blacked out while talking to me, because this is awful and the complete opposite of what I asked for. She cut my hair wet, so when she dried it it was literal inches shorter than when she cut it and she then had to retrim everything once the curls were shaped. I asked her why she was cutting my hair wet and she assured me it was fine. Turns out, that was wrong. She also hardly said 5 words to me the entire hour I was in her chair. Never again. Curly girls beware. read more

First time at Garbo. Service was prompt and friendly, covid precautions in place and adhered to which is appreciated. Based on the stellar reviews I thought I was in great hands for a simple haircut. Unfortunately I was misguided, I am super unhappy with the results of my haircut and will not be returning. read more

Kayla is AMAZING and literally saved my hair! I discovered this salon after a very tragic visit to a different salon where they bleached the heck out of my already blond hair. Kayla did a great color correction and toned my hair back down to a more natural color. I've been going to her ever since and I highly recommend her services! read more

Spent today getting highlights done with Brittany and I had the best time! I have never had my hair done professionally, and I'm really happy that I found a place I can continue going to regularly. read more

I recently got my hair done by Gina for my birthday and every time I go see her for color she does an amazing job. Gina is super quick yet also very sweet when it comes to taking care of her clients. She's also very easy to talk to, and very vigilant. I trust her, and her vision. And I definitely recommend her for any color services you plan on getting!!! read more

I just received a haircut from Gina and it's the best haircut I have had in years! I have fine hair and not many stylists can get it right without going too short. Gina nailed it! I highly recommend going to this wonderful salon read more

Love this salon!! The staff and the stylists are awesome!! If you're looking for a cute new look Cheyenne is your girl!

The salon itself is welcoming! The individuals at reception always are attentive and appear interested in you once you walk in. As a first time guest they also provide some great amenities such as: a new guest punch card (provides future discounts and comp add ons). Not to mention for those who love their experience you have the opportunity to receive a great perk by taking the time to recommend someone! If they end up coming to the salon, you and them both receive a great 1 time discount. Let's talk Kayla now; I happened to make an appointment with her about a year ago. Just on a whim, needed a place to call mine since moving to Austin and the salon was recommended. From our first appointment I knew I would be coming back. Not only does she take the time to get to know her clients personally, she gets to know your hair (weird right?) She's open to brain storming with you - I wanted to die my hair, do something new, we spent a half hour (you can book complimentary consultations for this type of thing) and we discussed 1) pricing 2) expectations (what I wanted was a lot of maintenance, which I hadn't known before) 3)time investment. Needless to say after 30 minutes she was patient and understanding when I decided to back track and say "yeah no". And was more than excited to do the alternative option I asked her about. She's patient but also always ready to do something different on a whim if I ask (you know shave part of your head or chop all your hair off). Not to mention the scalp massages ‍. She's professional and makes you feel like your her top priority- I've never had an instance where I felt rushed out and that she was just cutting and blow drying to get me out of the chair. I'd recommend her to anyone who was looking for someone to rely on for a hair cut! I write this review knowing that, if the secret gets out, she'll be harder to book, but ‍ when she's that good, what are you going to do read more

I've been going to Garbo salon for about 1 1/2 years now and my last visit prompted this review because I am so pleased with the haircut I received by Brittany! So, the stylist I had been seeing moved on elsewhere. I wanted to stay with Garbo because they use Aveda products. It was my first time working with a new stylist , but I'm so glad I had Brittany do my hair. She really listened to what I wanted and she was really good about asking followup questions like how short I wanted certain pieces. She took her time and gave my hair such a good blowout! If you're wanting a great haircut, go see Brittany. Also, the establishment is always so friendly and you can tell they have great teamwork. read more

I had heard from another Garbo patron that Jasmine was the "curl whisperer." She lived up to every bit of her name. She freely shared all tips and tricks to make sure I was getting the most out of my curls, and the attention to detail was sublime (pretty much down to the individual curl level.) I am beyond pleased and can confidently say that this is one of the best haircuts I've ever had in my life. My own natural curls are *singing* with little to no work on my part, all thanks to this experienced cut. In the past I would only go to the salon about twice a year. Now, I can't wait to go back and see jasmine in 12 weeks! read more

Jenna is the only person i have been to that can handle my crazy thick hair. I have found my new person! I went to Garbo for just a blowout after my original appointment had to get cancelled but I got so much more than that. The blowout was awesome and my hair was smoother than it had ever been, that's when Jenna mentioned I get a keratin treatment (which many stylists have been pressuring me to do) but I trusted her. My keratin treatment was life changing. I then went to Jenna for a haircut and she did that perfectly too. I LOVE JENNA AND GARBO. The staff is amazing and always makes you feel welcome, the salon is really cool and comfortable too. Highly recommend this place! read more

Jenna is my girl! She recently made me a red head and I absolutely love it! I showed her a few photos for inspiration and she can up with something even better. The color is holding up beautifully thanks to the copper shampoo she had ordered for me. If you're looking for expert color pay her a visit. read more

Garbo A Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Garbo is conveniently located within walking distance of my home. I was referred to Jenna by a friend and I'm glad he recommended her. Jenna has colored my hair and has cut it numerous times and has always exceeded my expectations. She's fun, thorough and always makes sure I'm happy with my results. Jenna also did my hair and makeup for my wedding. Everyone at Garbo is friendly and very attentive. I highly recommend her :) Eva, HappyWig read more

Eli did a great job and really took the time to listen to what I wanted. I had bangs in the past and loved them, but I had been growing out my hair for so long that I was nervous about the cut! He made me comfortable and the conversation we had was fun. I loved the outcome of the style! read more

Garbo A Salon - "I got bangs! My hair's so now." Happy with the cut by Eli. :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm new to Austin and was looking for a salon to get my hair cut and colored. I'm so glad I came across Garbo salon! My stylist Kayla Harrison is the best and knows exactly what to do! I can't wait to go back soon to get my hair colored. read more

I had my hair colored and cut by Eli and I couldn't be happier with the results! Eli is a great listener and communicator- I've never had a stylist take so much time to go over my hair goals and fears. He took the pictures I showed him of the cut and color I was thinking about and tweaked them to complement my fine hair and pale complexion perfectly. I left with the perfect mix of a refreshed look, and easy styling and upkeep. The salon is clean and bright and the girls that greeted me at the front desk were a ray of sunshine, a great experience all around! read more

My dad has been coming to this salon since he was 18 years old. He then started taking me and my siblings to Garbo's as well. Needless to say I've been coming here since I can remember. Recently, Garbo has opened up a new hair salon on Riverside, which is conveniently closer to me. Of course I still made the drive to their north location before hand, as I would always get my hair cut from Rosalba. I really wanted to do something different with my hair this time around and ended up booking a cut with Nicole at the east location. I went from long hair to real short, and could not be more happy with how it turned out. No matter if you are a return customer, or it's your first time, Garbo will always make sure that you are comfortable and they will always treat you like family. I highly recommend going to either location that they have. read more

Do yourself a favor and book an appt with Kayla at Garbo. She is mainly at this location but does 1 day a week at the North location. She is hands down amazing. She listens to what you want but makes smart recommendations based on your lifestyle and hair type. I'm not a "regular" salon goer technically, I'm more of a "mess with my hair for a few months" and then when I need a more drastic cut or color I come to see Kayla. She is NEVER judgmental about my own experimentation and always has me leaving with runway hair. She does book up sort of quickly because she's so good but you can book online so its easy. As long as we are both in the same city, she will stay my go to! read more

Kayla always does a great job with my hair! She is friendly and professional. I get my hair cut and colored. She works hard on my balayage

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Jasmine is an AMAZING colorist! She took my middle-of-the-night, two-beers-in attempt to fix my ombre and made it look even better than I dared to hope. If you need color of any kind, she's your gal! read more

I recently moved to Austin and had been struggling to find a good hairstylist. I am very picky because my hair is super delicate and breaks off easily, so I get really nervous when trying out new places. Luckily, I bumped into Mariana's page and decided to come in and give her a chance... BEST DECISION EVER!! Not only is she extremely nice, but she knows exactly what she's doing! My hair has never looked as shiny and feels supppppeerrr soft. If you're looking to get anything done Mariana's your girl! Definitely coming back! read more

Why would you go anywhere else for hair? Eli took me in and educated me on my hair and the care for it, as well as answered any other questions that happened to come up. He was knowledgeable, personable, and patient. If you have THICK hair like I do, he is not afraid to take on the challenge. The overall atmosphere is warm and accommodating and smells of essential oils from the moment you walk through the door. Pricing is absolutely fair, and they even have cute clothes and jewelry as well as a multitude of products to peruse. Definitely coming back. read more

I did not regularly get my hair done until I started going to jasmine, she's that good!!! She has converted me to a hair care addict. Her skills with color have taken me from a natural muddy brown to many shades of rose gold depending on my mood. Her attention to detail and care for clients makes her perfect at her job! read more

Booked my wife a hair cut a week in advance with a senior level stylist and a medium level colorist. She shows up the colorist tellers her she brand new. And was rude to her acting as if she had no time to deal with her. I don't join spot playing on spending 4 to 500 hundred for someone to be rude and act as if your an inconvenience. read more

I've been going to Kayla for 2 years now and she's always left my hair looking and feeling healthy. I'm very picky about haircuts and styling and she never disappoints, I trust her and it's hard to find a stylist who truly knows about hair. Kayla is very welcoming and I love that I can have great conversations every time I go into the salon and sit on her chair. Definitely recommend for newbies in Austin looking for a stylist! read more
