I was in town for a work conference and I saw the Drybar close by. Although the google reviews were…read morenot great, I knew it had to be a mistake! I was right! I booked a last minute appointment and Isabella was my stylist. I showed up 10 minutes early and she was ready for me. She made sure to offer the two shampoos and she did a great job! I am a fan of the Southern Belle (Southern Comfort) with pin curls to hold the style and she was ready. She sectioned off my hair and made sure every section was perfectly dry. She used the products in the yellow bottle for volume and the pink bottle for detangler. She sprayed my pin curls for the humidity (Austin is still too hot and humid). She finished off by doing a light finger toss on my curls and finished off with a few spritz of their amazing hairspray. So let me tell you how long it has lasted so far - I walked 5 minutes back to the hotel, then we had dinner at the Four seasons and that required a short walk to the cyber cab that missed our pickup point, then we walked to Rainey Street for Oktoberfest and then we walked back to our hotel. It's Sunday and I don't have to worry about my hair being ready for Monday morning because my hair still has the curls and the style!! Plus- it smells great. Thank you Isabella for doing such a great job and I am so glad I made an appointment for my Saturday date night! Sorry for the long review- not AI generated and I wanted everyone to know the wonderful job by Isabella!

I told the stylist I needed volume and explained that I have fine, curly hair, so I paid extra for a treatment to keep it from frizzing. Great, I was super excited! Then I went outside and got an Uber to protect my hair from the extreme humidity, headed to the Line Hotel (if you look it up, it's not far by car). I got up to the room where everyone was getting ready -- I was there for my niece's wedding. Within moments, my hair was completely straggly. It looked greasy. It looked horrible, and we had to get in a car in about 15 minutes. Thankfully, my friend was available -- she'd already had her hair and makeup done -- and she redid every single piece of my hair for me. When I called in a panic, all I was told was to come back. Well, weddings don't wait for their guests -- I had no opportunity to come back. They then offered for me to come back the next day, which would have been of no value to me for two reasons: I was getting on a plane, and the wedding would be over. I got a return call on Monday, which was kind of the manager. However, the only thing they offered me was a $15 credit to a place I'll never return to, since I don't live in Austin, Texas. If someone called me back and told me their hair had completely fallen, my first instinct would be, "Of course we'll give you a refund" -- but not this place. So if you're thinking about getting your hair done at Drybar: they're usually absolutely amazing, but I'd proceed with caution given other people's experiences. I'm sorry to have to say this, but I've truly never been so disappointed in customer service as I was on Monday, when I learned that the over $100 I spent wasn't going to be refunded -- even though my hair ended up looking beautiful, thanks to my friend, not Drybar. Do better.

I have been going to Sarah for about two years now and let me just say, there's a reason why I have been coming back to her each time. Besides being the sweetest person in the world, she is such a professional! She pays attention to what you want, brainstorms ideas with you, and ends up giving you perfection. She seriously goes out of her way for you. I needed my hair curled in 5 minutes and she gave me beautiful curls in 5 minutes. She's amazing and the products she uses as well always make my hair feel healthier, stronger, and fresh! Sarah's new salon is amazing!! Super chic, comfortable, and relaxing. I loved it!! Honestly, I have been to SOOO many hair stylist and have dyed my hair so many times and I have never found anyone that truly listens to me and gives you exactly what you want, until I met Sarah! She's brilliant and very talented. Thank you Sarah for working your magic on me!! Loved your new spot and I will be back. Xoxo read more

I came across Salon on 30th because of some really great reviews on yelp. I made an appointment with their stylist Sarah. She is a spectacular stylist and I am more than pleased with her work! I asked her to lighten my previously bleached ends and not only did she lighten them, she removed the Orange hue and blended the color with my natural roots. You would never have been able to tell I used to have a full brown head of hair! Sarah was great company throughout the whole process. We didn't have a single dull moment :) I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a change or in need of a color correction! Thanks Sarah for an awesome experience read more

I've been going with Sarah since March 2015 and she saved my hair!! I came in with an "ombre" I had done some where else, but it was not what I wanted at all and the yellow tone in my hair was horrible! Sarah touched up the tone with Olaplex and added the balayage style which brought my hair back to life! She is so accommodating with any new style I bring to her and gets the job done right! I can't wait for my next color!! The salon is very cozy and clean! I'm so glad I found her. The best part for me is that it is right down the street from my home! Wish I knew sooner! read more

I'll try this again...I have lived in Austin for 10 years and have searched high and low for somebody that gave me the results I wanted. Each time (even after spending $300+), I ended up with highlights that were either poorly done, too "chunky" when I requested a natural look, or color that didn't match my skin tone. When I saw Shelly in our community newsletter, I decided to give her a try. I'm always weary the first time I visit a new stylist, so I told her I would rather have a partial highlight with lots of foils than a full highlights with not enough. She took her time and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. I've never had that many foils in my life, and the results were beautiful!!! (Even my boyfriend, who NEVER notices when I have something done to my hair, said, "You look like you have Barbie hair!") I've seen Shelly for highlights, cut and the straightening treatment and have been more than satisfied with every service. (I even let her give me bangs, which requires a lot of trust!) Not only are her prices ridiculously reasonable, she also takes a lot of pride in her work. She even texted me a few days after my straightening treatment to make sure I was satisfied and liked it. (And YES... I love it!) As far as the negative reviewer, I can see where she is coming from and hate that she had such an unfortunate experience. Shelly would never start on a client unless she had the necessary time to do a fabulous job, so if you are looking for a "quick fix" she isn't going to be the person for you. She is going to want to take her time and ensure that you get the service you deserve. Her biggest strength is that she is a perfectionist, and I would not take the time to write a review her unless I had the utmost confidence in her.

She is very reasonable with rates and does not scrimp on using better products to achieve a better look for you. I have thin hair and Shelly does a wonderful job of camouflage while still getting all those tiny hairs around my face and telling me what I am doing style wise that could do more damage to what hair I have left :) She is very personable and will listen to what you want and has evening appointments and weekend spots if you book in advance. Wonderful person and so glad I found her- still impressed with her attention to detail.

Before Heather, I changed stylists after every cut or color. She has such an incredible eye to detail, listens to what I want, and is QUICK. I have thin hair and she keeps me honest with my style requests- since my jet black hair with bangs to my blond days, and now into my bronde. She's supported my extra long layered hippie hair and helped transform it to a manageable length with a curtain bang. Heather teaches me ways to keep my hair healthy and gives me realistic tips on how to style my hair. She (unknowingly) helped prepare me for my elopement, where I was going to be in the wild, rainy, windy mountains of Scotland i.e.: no hair stylist there! I've hired Heather for private events (she styled my entire family- 5 women on my sister's wedding day) and I recommend her to everyone. Heather is *the* hair whisperer. She even cuts my husband's hair and now all of his friends go to her as well. Every hair color job grows out beautifully and every cut transitions into a new style if I can't make it in for a trim. Can't recommend her enough, worth every dollar and then some!!
