    KBK is the BEST y'all! Katie is a literal QUEEN. I've been obsessed with Katie and her beautiful hair and makeup looks since I moved to Austin 7 years ago. When I finally got engaged in knew immediately who was doing my hair and makeup for the big day! I booked Katie before I booked my venue, it was so important to me to have her. I'm also a hair and makeup aritist, so that makes me super picky and the worst client, but with Katie I knew I was taken care of and could finally relax in her chair. We had so much fun creating my rehersal and wedding day looks. Plus Kaite alway brings the JAMS!!! Do yourself a favor and book KBK right now!

    Glammed up natural look with soft pinks

    Katie did the makeup for my wedding. I looked fantastic as did my bridesmaids, mom, and flower girls. She enhanced everyone's natural beauty. Katie brought fun 90s music for the bridal suite and was super chill all day. She even put a little color on the flower girls, which they thought was the coolest thing. One thing that really made my day easier was that Katie was super flexible with the makeup timeline as well as me changing my mind about my look. The day of I decided I wanted softer pinks even though I had asked for golds and browns at our trial. She showed me a whole palette of pinks that she just happened to bring. When I wasn't sure, she used my own palette and never made me feel like a demanding bridezilla for the 180 on my look. Another last minute issue that Katie had to deal with is that I slammed my face into a car door 12 days before my wedding. I had to get stitches, and the whole fiasco resulted in a gash (a la Scar from Lion King) over my left eye. Of course, Katie covered it completely, and you can't see the gash at all in my pictures. Lastly, my wedding was outdoors at a family ranch. When the weather deteriorated (literally poured on my first look), she stayed an extra hour for touch ups. I would highly recommend her! Customer service and satisfaction are very important to her, and she will go above and beyond to make sure her clients (especially the bride) is happy.

    Hair & makeup for bride

    Kiss by Katie made me (the bride) and my bridesmaids feel SO BEAUTIFUL for my wedding day! Katie is professional, kind, and so fun to chat with. She covered up any acne/imperfections for my big day, which was a blessing. My makeup and hair lasted all night! Love you Katie!

    Makeup by Sara

    Sara and Karen did a wonderful job for my wedding! Karen did hair for all four of my bridesmaids and they all loved their hair - which is saying a lot! Sara did hair and makeup for myself and the mother of the groom. See pictures to see how amazing everything turned out. They were both early and very professional and absolutely lovely to spend the day with. Highly recommend!

    I had such a great experience with Gabby! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel…read morecomfortable and listened to exactly what I wanted. She's incredibly personable, sweet, and easy to talk to, which made the whole appointment fly by. Most importantly--my hair turned out AMAZING. The color/style was exactly what I was hoping for, and you can tell she really takes pride in her work and attention to detail. I left feeling confident and so happy with the results. I can't recommend Gabby enough!

    I'm extremely disappointed by how a serious privacy issue was handled. A private personal matter…read moreinvolving me was discussed outside of the salon based on third-party information that was inaccurate. I had no involvement in what was being said and no opportunity to correct it, which made the situation even more upsetting and unfair. I reached out directly to the salon and the owner to address this respectfully and provide clarity, hoping for a professional response. Despite multiple attempts, I received no reply. Ignoring a concern involving client privacy and misinformation shows a lack of accountability and professionalism. Clients should be able to trust that personal matters and conversations connected to a salon visit remain private and are not repeated or acted on without verification. That trust was broken here, and the complete lack of follow-up made the experience even more disappointing.

    I recently moved here from San Antonio and was terrified to find a new stylist after going to the…read moresame stylist for 12+ years. After many months of research, I found this beautiful salon and found Pedro. Pedro patiently took the time to discuss what I was looking for, along with realistic expectations, and performed the biggest transformation on me. Pedro is seriously a miracle worker and a true artist. I could not have found anyone better and am so thankful to have had such an amazing experience. If I could give 100 stars in this review I would. Pedro took my previous blonde that had brown dye over it, a band of red from base bumping, extremely dry ends, areas of new growth, and transformed my hair into a beautiful and healthy dimensional blonde. I don't know how Pedro pulled this off, but years of expertise, knowledge and experience, along with quick thinking, and love for the art was very obvious in the results I obtained from Pedro. I am over the moon and am so excited to have found this place, and to have found Pedro. If you're thinking of booking here or booking with Pedro, don't hesitate, just do it! You won't regret it. Thank you Pedro and thank you Dolce Salon for making all of my hair dreams come true!

(Wavy,curl thing) Cris got it first time and every visit since. This is a special salon. Everyone here is friendly and professional in every regard. The atmosphere is welcoming with warm greetings, cleanliness, nice furnishings, a wide variety of product and always expanding services. This is a lot, but I know how important and difficult it is to find the right person to care for ones hair and an environment that makes you feel at home. Dolce is both and more. A very special and trustworthy salon.

    I booked the "Haircut - Luxury Experience" for my first visit and showed Ruby Perez three reference…read morephotos. I clearly requested a slanted, vertical side cut with the front length touching my chin, and suggested trimming only about 1 cm. What I left with was a nightmare--my hair chopped drastically short, front above my jawline, sides straight, and nothing like the photos. When I pointed this out, she casually said it would "look like the pictures in 8 weeks." I was shocked and humiliated. During the haircut, she even told me twice not to cross my legs--something I've never experienced at any salon. I asked to switch stylists, and was told I'd have to pay extra, even though the issue was not my fault. Ruby then claimed that because I agreed to a graduation in the back--which she suggested--she had to ignore my other requests. I cried in my car on the way home, devastated. $160+tax for a ruined haircut and a traumatizing experience. I can only hope no one else has to go through this. Without exaggeration, this was the worst salon experience of my life.

    After two good experiences with Jamie here I recently had a very negative experience I feel I…read moreshould share. I had an appt scheduled with Jamie on 09/10. I received a call around noon saying she went home sick and asking to reschedule me with Zeke at the same time. I agreed since things happen. No worries. I arrive to my appt and find I was moved around to another stylist Ruby. Not a huge deal but odd. Ruby was nice and welcoming but did jot down a great job with the cut. It was very uneven (pictured). I left the salon with a curl so it took a day to notice it was uneven. I call back on 09/13 asking for an adjustment. Lisa tells me to come in 09/17 and my original stylist Jamie will fix it (over a week after my initial haircut). I show up and they have no record of my appt or conversation with Lisa. They tell me Jamie is unavailable and I can wait for another stylist or come back another day. I opt to wait. The stylist was nice but slightly gaslighted me into telling me my hair wasn't that bad. As a final straw the parking validation did not work and I had to spend $13 to get my hair fixed after the original haircut $75 + $15 tip. I will not be returning.

    Just got myself the best hair cut by Hanna! She is very friendly, her studio space is clean,…read moreintimate and she knew the aesthetic I was hoping to achieve when I showed her some pictures of the cut I was after. I showed up with SUPER duper long grown out hair but she was meticulous and fast in getting me sat in the chair, layers cut for days, and even asked if I wanted to lighten up the thickness of my hair. It feels so healthy and refreshed since it's been some time I've sat down for a hair cut. And the fact that it's a reasonable haircut and right by my house in NW Austin/Cedar Park proximity, I love everything about her, the zen. She can talk to you or you can keep it low energy to recharge as she was playing the great British bake off for me and it was absolutely divine to just have peace and quiet for my hair goals on NYE! I can't wait to return and see her again, she has my loyalty and love! Thank you for a wonderful haircut Hanna!

    I scheduled an appointment with Hannah on a whim. I've been to many Korean salons in Austin you…read morename it CNN, Soha Hair Salon, Bono and the likes but they all lacked the genuine customer service that we all hope for rather you are treated like just another body on their salon chair to make a quick buck. Hannah was different from the outset she listened to what I wanted to achieve and gave her honest feedback as to whether that style would look as pictured or whether it would be a high maintenance hairstyle. I trusted her opinion and went with more layers to give my hair some movement and I have to say I am beyond pleased. Not only is Hannah down-to-earth but her prices can't be beat also her private salon space is clean and tidy. If you are looking for an experienced hairstylist who listens to you and executes precisely then search no further than Hannah!
