After going to Path for the first time to get my hair conditioned with a treatment for colored hair, and for a nice blow out. They're the kindest stylists I've ever encountered and trust enough to become a regular guest. They're knowledgeable, products used are high end and not only smell good but last through three days of outdoor work (I build stages). Nothing was flat ironed that is all hair drying, conditioning treatment and experience behind the hairdryer. I love these ladies and so will you. read more

My hair stylist cancelled on me, so the shop gave me an alternative hair stylist "new girl" on my appointment for haircut and color. This "new girl" hair stylist (Jerica) should never be let serve customers. The owner of the shop should have had more rigorous supervision on this girl before she was let serve customers. Jerica showed me Hailey Bieber photo as an example (image attached), which I agreed. But then, color came too bright. She had to redo the color again after my complaint. She then showed her grumpy attitudes and saying, "you have too much hair". For this 7 hour long tiring process (yes, it's true), my hairs now become: * severely bleached and damaged. They are completely dry and will take 6 months of restoration. * now pain in hair roots. * haircut was very amateurish; she needs more experience. * I feel terrible because of all these. There are other good hair stylists in the shop. However, before Jerica was let serving customers, the owner of the shop should have Jerica under supervision of other experienced stylists which is unfortunately missing. I was very upset for a whole evening. But, I give my reviews to this hair salon regarding my experience. read more

Do not cut with Kati. Been crying for days because of this otherworldly ugly haircut. I did like the ambience of the salon. However customer service was aggressive when I request to have my transportation compensated, where it was promised in words. Would've come back and try another stylist, but as I mentioned -- aggressive customer service. read more

I was trying to figure out a way to reach out that didn't involve sharing with the public, but I had an okay experience here. I just moved (and had my hair last done in April) and wanted a partial balayage touch up. More dimension through lightening. Unfortunately my hair looks pretty bad now. I would consider this highlighted, not balayage, and there is less dimension than before. (So sad because it looked so nice before.) The hair artist was super friendly and I had a good experience while in the chair. I tried to explain what I wanted, never having success with matching photos, but ended up showing a series of saved photos via Pinterest. - it looks nothing like the photos.) They did not let my hair process long enough for sure. IT is SO orange. :( I was a little surprised it only took so long to process, compared to how long my stylist at home waits before toning) but thought it was just because some was lightened already. It was hard to see the results while still at the salon. I just have to wait now, I think, to go somewhere else. Realizing what happened led to a bad start to my Monday morning. I would make sure you know what your artist can do before booking here. Somewhere in my gut, I knew I shouldn't have booked it in the first place. Like I said, my hair looked good before, it was just growing out... I should have listened to my gut. read more

I always have a bit of anxiety about getting my hair cut and making small talk, so I was trying to find the "right" salon and hairdresser ever since moving to Austin. It was fairly easy to get an appointment online - you do have to provide a bunch of info and create an account, but this seemed normal for hair salons when trying to schedule an appointment online. The salon is tucked away in a corner behind other businesses and has a small parking lot. The place itself has a pleasant modern aesthetic. I went on a Saturday morning and there was only one other customer while I was there. I got my hair cut by Jayda and her customer service was A plus. She made sure to cut my hair how I wanted and was easy to talk to. My cut was $51 - I have a lot of hair and I got about 2-3 inches cut. You can get $20 off your second visit if you schedule it so I set my next appointment in 3 months! read more

Super cute salon with neat old Austin vibes. 60s retro. Joseph was fantastic-- I wanted a clean up on my choppy lob (think Alexa Chung) that wasn't too suburban "soccer mom" but still easy to style. My hair is also Asian texture, fine, and lots of it. Joseph immediately knew how to cut it to get it to hang properly and style it without too much bounce - but enough texture to make it feel lived in. His pricing was also very reasonable in an area where haircuts are becoming quite exorbitant. He's just returned to ATX and is in the process of rebuilding his book of clients. If you're looking for someone new who can provide an excellent cut, I'd encourage you to give him a try! read more

OMG I love this place after just one visit! I had the loveliest hair appointment here! I booked my appointment through Yelp. I had the amazing, talented, charming, and funny hair stylist James. I went in for a hair donation/ coloring. APPOINTMENTS I was able to get an appointment through Yelp the day of. I sent a request around 6am and I came in at 10am. It was really fast and convenient. PARKING There were plenty of spots open when I came in. It's at an awkward angle but it's no problem at all :) COVID I was about 20-30 minutes early. I let them know about my hair appointment, the salon was empty at the time so they said I could wait inside if I wanted or in my car. I decided I wanted to watch Tik Tok soooo I waited in my car hahaha! Everyone wore a mask and sanitized everything really well. I myself wore a disposable mask the entire time. (Coloring stains) I was really proud of how they were handling everything. I felt safe. COLORING I love how my hair came out! I wanted to touch up some gray spots. I went with my natural hair color. I believe James said it was called root shadowing. He did a beautiful job! HAIRCUT After James cut off about 12"- 14" for me to donate, I basically let him decide how to style my hair. I knew I didn't want a "Karen cut" but I also didn't want a bob. He decided to give me a short cut while slimming down the sides so it wouldn't look so puffy. I'm not the expert on the terminology but he gave me the cutest haircut I've ever had! I have been receiving compliments daily since my haircut back on January 26th! (It's now February 10th y'all!) I never thought short hair would look good on me because I have such a round face but James made me look and feel so confident and cute! I'm forever grateful for this new confidence boost. Thank you James *cries*!!!! JAMES This gentleman was born for this. He is not only talented but he has a vision which he can bring to life. I was really impressed with how my hair turned out. I trusted him and he delivered above & beyond. He was really lovely to talk to! I'm quite chatty so it was perfect. He is really funny! I felt like my best friend was hooking me up with a fresh cut. Please book him and tip him well because he is worth it! Love you James! AMBIANCE It's a bright and beautiful salon with a lot of natural light. The music they were playing was really upbeat and dance worthy. From Ariana Grande to Megan Thee Stallion. I had a great time! My appointment flew by honestly. If you've ever had a haircut & coloring appointment you know how long it can take. I never really felt like I was just waiting. I was just vibing. PRICES I got a haircut, root shadowing, shampoo/ conditioning, a blow dry, and he lightly curled/styled my hair. I paid $251.19 which included a $24 shampoo and a generous tip. Ladies, it's worth it. I didn't feel like I overpaid at all. I'm not rich. I'm not a fan of expensive salons but sometimes you need to treat yourself. This will be my new salon from now on :) read more

She really tailored the experience to me- I could not have asked for a better time. Also, she's a great conversationalist and really enjoys learning about your life. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a short/bob haircut! read more

Made an appointment for a bleach and tone. Explained my dark hair, 6 weeks of growth, whole situation on the phone. When I get there the inexperienced stylist Shaylee , with no regard for my time, tells me she has another appointment in two hours and can't fully do my Hair. I told her my hair lifts quick but okay, check the schedule. Spends 10 minutes (she coulda spent mixing some bleach) checking the schedule. Tells me Saturday her next appointment. No regard for peoples time . Also she called my hair platinum blonde and it's very much not. It's Butter golden blonde. I was looking forward to trying this place. Very disappointed. read more

I don't know where to begin. I scheduled an appointment earlier in the week for a cut and style with Alyssa. I specifically asked for a long styled lob and my hair to be thinned out. Upon arrival I was greeted friendly and quickly taken to the chair where I showed Alyssa a video of what I was asking. Alyssa did a good job on thinning my hair but the cut was not at all what I wanted. My long hair was cut really short, a bit too short for the style I specifically asked for. My hair is back to being short and more one length rather than the lob I had asked for.... My hair was blow dried but it was not styled. I was asked if I liked it and then abruptly told I was done in 40 mins. I wasn't shown the back of hair which was really strange. I felt a little cheated as I booked a cut and style for an hour and should've mentioned wanting some beach waves. But honestly, the cut wasn't anything close to what I asked for and I wanted to dip out at that point. In the end, it's just hair, but it took some time to grow to the length it was at. If the style wasn't possible then I wish the stylist said something or suggested something else. read more

Had such a good experience with my first time at Path! Liz was my hair stylist and she was awesome! She helped me decide what worked best for my hair (i knew what i wanted as far as a hair cut but needed some advice) and Liz helped a lot! We had great conversation the entire time, Liz and the rest of the staff made me feel so welcomed and comfortable! Thank you so much Liz! I will be back!!! :) read more

Jayda was rude right off the bat. I showed her a video of what I wanted and she kept saying, I don't cut like i don't cut like that I don't cut like that. Um ok. She was barely even paying attention to the video and I had to ask that she watch it again to really get a sense of what I want. Don't shut me up saying you don't cut like that She scrubs the shit out of my hair during the shampoo. I let it slide. But when we sit down, I ask if she could be gentle. She goes ummm how like when I comb it. In the most condescending manner. Ummm yes jayda when you comb it it anything else. No shit. Awkward silence the whole haircut .... Cool. Nice talkin to ya. Anyways, once she finishes, she starts very roughly picking at my hair. I then ask again if she can be gentler. She gives me a face and says, um this is too rough? While gently touching my hair. So incredibly condescending. So rude. Yes you were too rough like a second ago and you gently touching my hair AFTER I ask doesn't make up for it Then she starts moving really slow. I said gentle not slow but ok. Continues to not say one word to me and has the sourest look on her face. I have no idea what she's doing to my hair. Says nothing about how she is styling it and just proceeds. Cool thanks for asking nothing about how I like my hair. Anyways the appointment ends awkwardly of course and I couldn't run out of there fast enough. She definitely took too much off with the layers all around my head and they don't blend. Hmmmmm if only she watched the video I showed her. read more

Jerrica is amazing!!! She is so sweet and spent the time to understand what was going on with my hair.

If I could give Peyton five more stars I would! I was in a HEAVY predicament as I was feeling so much stress- i'm in a wedding in less than week, just come out of being VERY ill in the hospital, photographed four weddings back to back, and unbeknownst to them lost a family member. My life has been a whirl wind of chaos this last month and a half. I had been looking for a place for a WEEK to get my hair done, and Ryan (the owner) not only replied in less than thirty minutes but scheduled me the next day. I live in new braunfels (worth the drive after such a hassle free scheduling) Peyton (hairdresser) then spent SIX hours on my hair. SIX. Did it need it? Absolutely. Was it $$$? YUPP. But the end result is a gorgeous HEALTHY glowing look I haven't gotten from anyone since I moved here In 2017. On the rare chance you do get the wild ride of an all day seat at a salon this rare perspective of watching how they work as well as their atmosphere as a business comes along with it- the one thing I saw more than anything and it was so refreshing- is that they're constantly educating themselves and their interns/workers! Hairdressers are human, they will make mistakes! However i'm confident now that IF any mistakes are ever made at this business they are only reinforced with positive educational opportunities and chances to grow better at their craft! Attached is before and after! read more

Achlie is AMAZING!!! I just finished getting my hair treated then cut and finished with a blow and some curls and I am beyond HAPPY with the result. Everything I was thinking, she made come to my life. She even convinced me to do some hair dying and I have never dyed my hair before, I already have my appointment set up and I'm super excited for it. I couldn't thank her enough for making me feel like a girl again, after so many months of lockdown. We also had amazing conversation the whole time which just made the experience that much better. I have found my new hair home and I won't be going anywhere else. She deserves more than 5 stars. Not to mention she got me in last minute and even was able to adjust her time so that I could do the things I needed to do. read more

Finding the right hair stylist is always the hardest thing. It takes trial and error to find the right one for you. I spent hours on Instagram and Yelp reading through reviews and looking through pictures to see what stylist styles hair closest to what I'd desire. I read the reviews on Path Salon so I checked them out on Instagram to see if they were open with COVID going on right now. And they were! I came across Taylor's Instagram and was in love with her work! So I scheduled an appointment through Yelp. I could already tell she's amazing because I had to book her a month ahead. Before I came in, she cleaned and sanitized her entire work area after her previous client left. She was very attentive to every little detail of what I'd like. And definitely took her time and effort on it. I'm in loveeeee with the finished product! Happy to find a new go-to hair stylist here in Austin :) read more

Nora is awesome!!! She is incredibly sweet, and helpful and always makes my hair look and feel amazing! It's never looked better

I've been to Path Salon three times now, and every time I get an amazing cut and color. The staff is friendly, and the place has a nice vibe (laid back, a little mid-century modern, a little rock and roll). I had previously gone to Urban Betty a couple times (I moved here over a year ago, and I embarked on the mission to find a new salon and stylist). Honestly, Urban Betty wasn't as friendly, and the the cut and color wasn't any better. It was more than twice the price, so there's that if you just like to set you money on fire in a less friendly envelope. I think Path Salon is where a bunch of incredibly talented stylists work early in their career. There's definitely also some seasoned vets, but I think overall Path Salon gives you a chance to work with amazingly talented professionals before their prices go up. read more

Just wow. I made an appointment with James over a month ago but due to personal reasons I had to cancel the appointment. I received an email reminding me of their 24 hour cancellation policy (you can see the email that says 24 hours) which I had abided by. I then received a voicemail letting me know that if I wanted to reschedule I would have to pay James an additional $117 just to sit in his chair. Since I canceled before the 24 hour deadline I called the salon to see if this was a mistake. After calling, I was told that James' policy is 48 hours and that I would still be required to pay $117. This review is for the management of the path salon as the email reminder should match the policy that I am expected to follow. I should not be penalized for your mistake. read more

I was very happy with my haircut from Brooke and I would 100% recommend her just for the shampoo- she gave me the best head massage I have ever had!! My only complaint is the system they use to pay; it wasn't made clear or explained to me that when you add a tip it's a percent of the total bill so if you just choose the percent you are tipping on any product you buy also. I know as a responsible adult I should have asked the pricing up front but I just wanted to pay without stressing about the price... so it wasn't until the next day that I realized I also tipped on some expensive hair products. read more

I'm a guy and was my first time in Salon. Super nice ladies and straight forward with pricing.

Fantastic salon! Hidden off of south congress and very pleasant and calming to be in. Joe did my hair & he was very kind and knowledgeable.

Unfortunately, I had a bad highlight job from another salon. With my Asian hair it can go orange real fast and I felt that my highlights were way too light. I didn't want to go back and was looking for other salons in the area and came across path. I sent a message to the salon and got an appointment booked with James. He knew exactly what I was going for and was able to get me to the right shade with help from some toner. It can be really hard for people to work with dyeing/toning Asian hair but James killed it. Thanks for making me feel like myself again! read more

So, it has been almost a year since I have been to a hair salon due to Covid-19 shuttering many places. As you can expect, my thick, wavy hair grew out bulky and bushy, weighing my head down. I was so tired of it weighing me down, I wanted to chop it all off. After I moved to Austin last month, I made my appointment and was able to enter in Path Salon at my appointed time. I was immediately greeted and pleased with all the new measures for client's and employee's safety- wearing masks, social distancing and cleaning each station is definitely enforced here. I was so happy to be Shaylee's client- after she asked me a lot of questions about my hair and I told her I wanted it short, she kindly offered me her professional advice on how an alternative cut may bring out my curls without my hair weighing me down. She suggested cutting my hair in layers while thinning it out would allow me to have a shoulder-length cut without all the weight. I figured 'Why not?' and let her do her thing. It turned out to be much better than I expected! Everyone always worries about the end result and I was no different, but I was ecstatic to see my curls naturally forming like gentle beach waves after she was done. I am truly thrilled! Shout-out to Shaylee as she is amazing! In short, I would really recommend this place. You do pay some money here (my cut alone was $46) but I would rather pay more and be satisfied with the service. See the after-picture for yourself. read more

Path Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Just moved to Wimberley from the SF Bay Area, and, by the time I found Path and the talented Jayda, I was in need of serious help! I did not spend much time researching Austin stylists, because Path easily stood out among the many highly-reviewed salons in the area, so I was confident I could get a good cut. I booked online with the "first available" option, and I had no idea that I would see Jayda, one of their younger (and very, very affordable) stylists. She's awesome. When I had to reschedule my first appointment, I was fortunate to chat with Jayda on the phone and discuss what had happened since moving. I had been washing my already somewhat damaged and colored hair with well water and noticed a rapid decline in health and color fade. Jayda knew right away that the well water was damaging my hair and advised accordingly. Huge, huge help! After consulting, Jayda booked enough time for a cut and tone, as my hair was getting brassy from the water. When I got to the salon it was hard to look at my hair. It was bad. Fortunately, Jayda is extremely confident, knowledgeable, and honest. Huge asset. She made it very clear what needed to be done and why, made sure to find the right toner, and went to work. In a matter of minutes, she got rid of the damaged hair, reshaped my long layers, toned it to a lovely color, and returned my hair to a healthy state. Miraculous. A week later, I'm still getting used to how great my hair looks! Having come from SF, home to some of the nation's top stylists, I can honestly say that Jayda is a top-notch professional in every way and easily the BEST deal in Austin in terms of quality for cost. She's an absolute gem and truly made me feel and look so much better. I can only imagine where she'll be in 10 years. I'm going in tomorrow, so Jayda can do a touch up to my roots, and I'm confident she's going to do a great job. Highly recommended! read more

I've been travelling from Las Vegas to see Robin at Path Salon twice now, after following her on Instagram, and have truly found my "hair home". The amount of care, professionalism and talent she exudes is absolutely unmatched! She goes above and beyond to create the absolute best hair experience I've ever had. She listens- and not just listens- but she prompts you for all the details, likes, dislikes, hair history, hair goals and everything in-between. She explains the WHY of the entire process, why my hair has been doing what it's doing, how we can improve it, how I can realistically style it day-to-day and the entire process from start to finish. I've never felt so taken care of! To top it all off, she's amazingly kind, funny and a great conversationalist that makes the whole visit feel like you're hanging out with your best friend. You can tell everyone there at Path totally loves what they do. Very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere- great beverage selection to add to the vibe- I always leave feeling like the best version of myself! 10/10! read more
