I had Abi do some color on my hair today. It's perfect and it's exactly what she promised. I've never had someone I trust so much with my hair. It's been also two years now and I'm SO GLAD about that. Thank you, Abi!!!! I always feel like a million bucks after she's done with my hair!!! Hi, my name is Katie and I don't like combing or styling my hair. I'm girl lazy. I don't girl well, period. Enter Abi. I told Abi that I don't girl well, that I'm lazy and don't style my hair. She laughed, confirmed that my hair is wavy (it is) and proceeded to give me a cute hair cut/style that requires no effort. Abi is now my favorite person ever. Instead of fighting my laziness she helped me embrace my wild waves. She also took the time to show me super simple ways to work with my hair. I recently felt like I needed bangs and she scored once again. She pointed out my cow lick and showed my how to work around it. My bangs look great and with two minutes of effort they look even better. So, lazy non girling girls, take notice! Abi is the answer to your lazy hair prayers! 10/10 would totally recommend. read more

Hair by Abi - Hair Stylists Near Me - Austin, Texas

Abi is a genius! I walked in with a bad haircut and dry, brittle hair and walked out with the hair of a child; sleek, well-cut, perfect. Abi takes all the time necessary to make sure you leave looking great and feeling happy. I would gladly fly over to Greece every time I needed hair care if I could afford it (well, and also because I love this country). Thanks, Abi! (If you're in Rhodes for any time at all, be sure and make an appointment with Abi! You'll thank yourself and your lucky stars if you do.) read more

Awesome!! I can't sing her praises high enough!! Coloring and Brazilian blow out!! It's been a few days and my hair is awesome!! Getting tons of compliments and it is so easy to manage now with the Brazilian blow out!!! read more

This woman is a super star. I'm older, My blonde hair is turning white. I needed High lights and low lights with Brazilian blow out. She took me without seeing me and knocked it out of the park. Holy cow my hair looks amazing! Her space is clean, her technique and skill impeccable and her chair side manor is FUN. She is 30 years younger than me and she is just as much fun for me as she is you young puppies! Just because she rents her own seat in a little mall doesn't mean you should tip! I know its a question for many do I or don't I. Hair stylists have no retirement fund, no benefits TIP THEM! read more

Abi has been amazing. My sister first started going to her a few years ago and I am so glad she did. She has colored my hair, styled my hair, and helped me find the perfect cut. I recommend her to everyone. You won't be disappointed. read more

See all

I don't normally write reviews, but after seeing what that horrible Gretchen woman wrote, I feel like I must come to Abi's defense! She has been doing mine and my wife's hair for years and she always does a GREAT job (granted, I don't have much hair but my wife always looks FANTASTIC!). I wish Abi nothing but the best and appreciate her hard work every time we visit! Thanks, Abi! See you soon! read more

Abi has been doing my hair for about 3 years now and I would not go to anyone else! She is the first person who has really done a good job each time I see her. I tend to go from long cuts to short cuts since I like to change things up and each time she does a wonderful job. Also, the haircuts really just get better with time which is amazing because each time I walk out feeling beautiful. She is also just a super nice person. Every time I go get my haircut I feel like I just left one of my girlfriends houses. She is super professional and great at what she does. She takes pride in her haircuts because she believes that the way her clients hair looks is a direct representation of her business. I would recommend Abi to anyone! Ignore the bad reviews! I can't imagine where these reviews would even come from. read more

Hair by Abi - Hair by Abi! Feeling fabulous as always! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Austin, Texas

Both my wife and I have used Abi for quite a while. We struggled to find a stylist in Austin after moving here a few years ago. Abi totally rocks! Abi had me venture outside my comfort zone - and I've received a huge number of compliments on my finally updated style! My wife loves the way she treats her hair, making sure her hair stays healthy! She was able to fit in our daughter when she was visiting from CA, and needed a quick fix. She looked awesome! To top it off, she is a total hoot!! We highly recommend Abi! read more

Beware friends! Abi (Hair by Abi) at Salon Republic has disclosed to me she educates via youtube and it's apparent in the sloppy, uneven, butchered cut depicted here. Although she's an entertaining conversationalist she fails to meet any standard when cutting, coloring, highlighting and Brazilian blowouts. I've wasted a small fortune and didn't even realize what "right looked like" until I recently went to a true hair professional after ditching Abi in tears. What a huge disappointment and waste of money. She would be better suited in any profession not needing scissors, or color, or customer service because she doesn't know what she is doing. I should have listened to 2 friends that experienced poor results; one friend that i referred her to HER HAIR BROKE OFF bc of error in processing! That shouldve been a huge red flag, but I felt bad for her because of her personal problems and shuffling from one salon to another (high dram, always the victim) around the Austin area. Well, lesson learned. I wish someone would've posted what I'm posting as a real world review of my experience with Abi. Hopefully this will make someone think twice. read more

Hair by Abi - Total butchered, chop job. A child w safty scissors could've done better. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Austin, Texas

I first stumbled upon Abi through a Groupon last year, and have been back twice to see her since (which is saying a lot for someone who usually goes once a year for a cut...)!! I totally trust her with my cut/style/color. She's a natural, really knows her stuff, and has a knack for working within people's preferences and lifestyles. She always provides practical advice for daily hair care, that even this stay-at-home mom can get on board with! Plus, she's fun to chat with, like any good hairstylist should be! read more

Abi does great work and is so personable. I love my new color and my hair is so soft and manageable from the Brazilian Blowout. I'll be back in a few weeks for that shadow root. ;-) read more

Abi has worked miracles on my hair! I have a blonde balayage and was really hesitant about taking my hair lighter and it causing a lot of damage! My hair is the perfect shade and still healthy/shiny! I will never trust anyone else with my hair again! read more

Abi has been doing my hair for over a year and I absolutely love her. From doing my color, cuts, and my extensions she is amazing and my hair always looks fantastic ever time I leave. read more

I just had a color correction and cut by Abi. I felt like she really knew what she was talking about and really wanted me to look and feel my best. She was able to do a great color correction on my messed up hair and gave me a nice cut. She had great advice and was fun to talk to. I highly recommend her. read more

I visit at least every 6-8 weeks. I don't trust anyone else with my hair. I am very pleased with her new space. I just tried her fabulous brazilian blowout to help me battle this crazy humid Texas weather, and I'm Loving it. If I could give more stars I would.. read more

Abi is one of the best hair stylists I have ever had. She really listens to what the customer wants and is extremely professional. I was referred by my girlfriend and her family, which made me a little nervous seeing a males cut can differ so much but she allowed me to explain the style I was going for and she worked her magic. I've gone to her three times so far and have been very pleased every time. Definitely recommend! read more

This is my first review but since I had such an interesting experience I thought I would share. My friend referred me to Abi. The first time I went, it was great. She's very sweet and appeared to be very knowledgeable. I was happy with my hair so I made an appointment to return one month later. I showed up that Friday afternoon with my hair looking crazy, because Abi was going to make it look great and I had appointments scheduled for the rest of the afternoon. When I arrived at my scheduled time Abi was not there. The receptionist had to call her and he informed me that she was at home but only lives around the corner and would be here shortly. 20 minutes later, Abi shows up and takes me to the back. She says she doesn't think she can meet my needs and that her colleague can do my hair but he is already booked for today. While I appreciated her honesty, even though I was confused, I asked why couldn't she of notified me sooner, especially since I had been scheduled for a month. To that she had no response. Needless to say, I was very unhappy with her level of professionalism and had to go across the street to Baby Face who did a great job. I appreciate someone being honest about their skill level, however the way in which Abi approached this by not notifying me sooner was wrong and not professional. read more

Abi has been the best hairstylist I've ever had. Until about two years ago, I'd been going to high-end hair salons and nothing compares. Price-wise, entertainment value and obviously hair education and results, Abi excels in all categories. My hair has never looked better and I will continue going to Abi for many years to come. read more

Abi is a fantastic hairstylist. The first time I went to her, I had decided that I wanted a pretty drastic short cut. She really took her time to talk with me and make sure that I would be happy with my decision. She discussed the pros and cons, the texture of my hair, my lifestyle, etc, and then taught me how to style it. She really cares about her clients and wants them to love their hair....and I have loved every cut she's given me! I wouldn't have anyone else cut my hair. Highly recommended! read more
