OK can I share with you guys some thing? At the beginning of Covid I went to get my hair colored and as you can see from the left it's not right. since Covid pretty much happened right after that I didn't care. I sat with that brassy color all this time. But every time I looked in the mirror I was like what the f---k I have orange hair. Anyway, since it's the new year I decided I want to start like combing my hair again and wearing non-sweat pants etc. etc. I called up Heather Olexa and she toned my hair the F down. I am no longer orange and for her I'm grateful. You're crazy if you don't go see this girl for your cut and color.She only colored me today but I plan on going back in January for her to chop off my mane. Left is what I walked in with / right is new me ! read more

Peacock Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Camille is Amazing!! After straightening my hair for 20 yrs I'm embracing my natural curls. Camille was supportive and patient with me and my hair. She had tons of product recommendations and gave a me cut that works with my type of curl. read more

Heather Olexa is the absolute best stylist out there and I could not recommend her enough! She has done my hair for years and I have always come out feeling incredible with the best cut and color. She will always tell it to you straight and for me, I needed that when she knew me well enough to know I needed easy and quick styling for my lifestyle. I also love how much she cares for her clients with her attention to detail and kind heart. Her recent safety video for the COVID-19 precautions they are taking at Peacock to make us safe is just one small glimpse into her kindness and expertise. Book her people! read more

This review is for Amber, who does the Oxy Facials at the salon! She was so amazing- outstanding service. I didn't wait at all- she actually got started early, which was awesome! She offered me a beverage right away- I had white wine. It had been a rough week, so the extra pampering was so nice- she even offered me a stool to prop my feet up! The only drawback of the salon is that they don't offer a bed/private room for the facials- you have to get it at a hair shampoo station. Regardless, Amber and the facial were GREAT. Loved talking to her, the salon was really cute, and I'd definitely go back! read more

After several months of sheltering in place, it was great to see you again, Jon D, and now at Peacock salon. I finally got a real haircut, an amazing one at that. I feel human again. I want you to know that I appreciate your professional expertise and artistry. It's always worth the price of admission. Have a great day and be safe. See you in a few. read more

Joel freakin Hamburger. All i really need is one word and that is ( AMAZING ). He is really top notch, knows exactly what he is doing, an artist, genuine. I went in today for a dramatic change with my hair. I chopped off over 19 inches. But before I showed him few pics of what I was wanting and he looked them over well and then evaluated my facial structure, hair texture, and what hair length would compliment my face/neck. SUPER. The hair shampoo smelled divine and that scalp massage...oooweee! The music and overall vibe of the salon has a sort of tropical/modern feel to it. Correct me if Im wrong but thats what I got. There was instrumental reggae playing and the overall layout of the building was spacious and airy. Made it seem a lot bigger than it was. Also smells like heaven in there. WILL BE RETURNING!! :0 Cheers! read more

"I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you." - Daniel Day Lewis, Last of the Mohicans Love this movie. Incredible soundtrack. Killer quote. Which I use in the context of this review to explain my die hard devotion to a certain stylist: Jeromy Deblieux. You can move salons. It matters not, I will find you. Jeromy has been stolen by Peacock Salon down on SLamar. I am told they are moving very shortly to the East Side. Since they are moving I will comment only briefly on the location: cute little salon with maybe four chairs; very peacock-y inside, meaning bright teal walls, with wooden accents. Parking=bonus. Jeromy is a very talented hairdresser. It is my understanding he specializes in color, but I'm cheap and only get my hair cut. He makes my baby fine hair look edgy and sassy instead of limp and dull. I no longer have an opinion, I just sit down, let him take out his razor, and go to town. (As mentioned, they have great products, but at my request, Jeromy cuts my hair in a way that I don't need do do anything but stick my head out the window and let it dry on the way to work.) Jeromy is also a hottie. With a fancy pants surname and gorgeous blue eyes, his talent extends beyond hair to the kitchen, to fatherhood, to rock climbing, to welding, and yes, to pickles. Ask about the pickles, if you are going to be forced to talk to talk to someone for an hour, it might as well be someone interesting, right? read more

We all know how hard it is to find a good hairdresser, especially for highlights, and especially if you're on a time crunch. Lauren got me in right away and was flexible when I asked if I could come in an hour early. She served me some delicious wine and had such a positive energy, it made getting my hair done a really fun experience! My highlights look amazing and my hair is feeling super healthy. Before I could even ask her, she offered to do a toning treatment so my blonde didn't turn out brassy. loved the head massage she have me while she did a deep conditioning treatment on me and she gave me some free samples of the shampoo she used on me. Highly recommended!!! Go see Lauren read more

I am so finicky about my hair. Since it's straighter than a board - in mass quantities - it's easy to pinpoint any out of place cut. Admittedly, I rifle through hairdressers like bad boyfriends - and I'm more than a little nervous when I have anyone touch this hair. I've been to Lori in the past - LOVED her cut (albeit not her old location) - so was thrilled to learn she found a new home at Peacock's Tale. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the outside - but fell in love as soon as I walked in the door. The salon's decor is fabulous - with an overall relaxed vibe. It's small and intimate - so one doesn't feel like just a number on a long rotating door of customers. And it's clear Lori listens to what you want - while taking liberty to cut according to your hair's features. What can I say? Overall - I am thrilled with my cut and my hairstylist's new home. Can I commit to one hairdresser now? Most definitely! (And that's saying a lot). read more

I love me some Annie yo! I cannot tell you how often I get compliments on my hair and I always tell them the same thing....Peacocks Tale....speak to Annie. When I first moved here my friend was working at South Congress Cafe and she kept seeing these ladies with awesome hair. She asked them where they got their hair done and they all said Annie at Peacocks Tale. Three years later I am still going to her. There are a few things you need to get when you move to a new city: Mechanic, Dentist, Doctor, Massage therapist & HAIRDRESSER. I found Annie....still working on the rest. I think I'll call her today. read more

This was by far the best haircut I have ever had so thank you Joel. I have searched and searched (Dallas, Houston, Austin) for someone to transform my hair into something that I can be proud of and it has finally happened. Joel discussed his vision for me and explained the best shape for my head before the cut. After the cut I am getting non-stop compliments. Thanks Joel!!! Joel is now my go to guy for my haircuts. Plus, I feel taller. read more

Just returning from a deployment to Iraq I was in need of a haircut. I wanted to get a really good haircut and I stumbled upon Peacock. They squeezed me in without an appointment and unbeknownst to me I was conversing with the owner about my deployment as I was waiting. During the haircut I asked my stylist how much the haircut cost (bad technique btw). My stylist, Joel Hamburger (best name in the biz) said the owner was paying for my haircut. I can only imagine it was a gesture of gratitude towards a veteran as her way of saying thanks. For the first time in my adult life I had a hair stylist explain the shape of my head and what he needed to do to make my haircut look symmetrical. Joel did an amazing job, best haircut EVER! I've gone back since and will continue to frequent Joel and Peacock. They earn 5 stars based on the haircut and hospitality, not the gesture towards a veteran, although that didn't hurt. Thanks Joel and Mrs. Peacock :), Paul read more

I love this place! I love Francisco! He rescued me and my hair from some crazy habits (like cutting my own hair BC I was done w bad stylists). I have very thick wavy hair and he is the first stylist who loved my hair instead of sighed at it. I will definitely make the drive to ATX for a haircut date w my BFF and my favorite, Francisco! Seriously, my hair keeps getting better every day! Amazing! Oh, and the salon reminds me of old laid back Austin. I love it all!! read more

Peacock Salon - Lovin Francisco!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I started going to see Leah Squyres for my haircuts a few years ago, and I was sorry to lose her when I moved to Houston in February of 2011. I did all my research and got recommendations from friends, but the next couple of haircuts I got were horribly disappointing, and I am known for having some pretty great hair, so that's a big deal to me. Not wanting to risk another unacceptable haircut, I just started driving to Austin to have Leah do my hair every 2-3 months. It's worth every minute of the drive and every penny of the gas money I spend. read more

I've been going to Bird's for the last 7 years, and found it difficult to maintain a consistently good haircut. Stylists were constantly moving from store to store or quitting, or working on days when I couldn't make it in. I never felt very confident going in that my hair was going to turn out the way I wanted. Well, with my wedding coming up in a few months, I was motivated to go out and actually find a good stylist/barber that I could keep coming back to month after month, and never have to worry about leaving dissatisfied. It would appear I got it right on the first try. Enter Todd Fisher. I was really nervous going in because I had never gotten a real classic, Mad Men style men's haircut before, and I knew that's what Todd's specialty was. He immediately made me feel at ease (after complimenting me on both my shirt and shoes, which is always nice, even for us dudes). I pretty much told him that my hair was in his hands, and we briefly talked about what I DIDN'T want. When he told me that I had the perfect hair for what he had in mind, I really trusted that he knew what he was doing, and I relaxed as he went to work. I don't think I've ever had someone cut my hair so meticulously and carefully. He took his time and made sure that every strand of hair was just so. He even took a couple seconds to trim my eyebrows. No one has EVER offered or bothered to trim my eyebrows. It's the little things, you know? And that's what a haircut experience with Todd is all about. You feel like he really cares about every little detail. I must say, i walked away with the best haircut I've ever gotten. Period. So, Todd is my new barber, and I don't think I'll ever darken Bird's door(s) again. read more

Great experience with Monica Partier here! She did an amazing job on my color just in time for my work headshot! She also fixed/remediate some damage my child did with a pair of scissors to his own hair! Salon is welcoming, clean and modern! Thanks, Monica! read more

Joel is amazing! I just recently had got my haircut from him and it was definitely one of my best hair experiences. Joel is incredible knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what he is doing and why. I have curly hair and am often really nervous about going to someone new. He did such a great job with my curls and he definitely showed that he was comfortable working with curls even when the cut I was wanting was unknowingly an advanced cut. He really just took his time to make sure all the curls fit together, that everything was even and that I was comfortable with it all. Also, during our appointment he was also mentoring/sharing wisdom with a cosmetology which highlighted even more his knowledge. I definitely will go back to joel and would refer everyone I know! read more

Kim did a great haircut. She brought shape and volume to my hair. She listened to what I wanted as style and did a wonderful job! I recommend this place and will go again. read more

Great place with great people! Monica is the best in the west! She has figured out my crazy hair and works magic every time! I highly recommend this cool east side hair salon! read more

This place is great! I'm from NY but have some family here who recommended Peacock's Tale. Annie was so awesome. My hair is long and straight and lifeless, and there's not much you can do with it, but she actually was able to give it some movement and mix it up a bit for me. She's super nice and friendly and I am loving my hair. The location is easy to find and the atmosphere is so nice and chill. Next time I'm in town I'm definitely going back to her! read more

the time before summer 2009 was a dark time, but that all ended once i met Joel Hamburger ... i read a review saying he was great working with texture, any texture, and after about 7 crappy haircuts in a year from 7 different "experienced" stylists, i desperately booked an appt w/ him. the day i came in, i knew i was destined for hair greatness. he's hip with the kids these days, but knows better to not be too hip. he looked at my Long Duck Dong hair (love 16 Candles), and said, "watch out, boys there's a new sheriff in town." --- jk. anyway, i have the most coarse, unruly hair, and i feel like other stylists look at my hair as a problem and want to hack the shit out of it VS Joel's view of "oh, it's just another type of hair, let's see how awesome i can make it look." --- you see, positive, friendly vibes. it's funny, he has this way of asking u a couple questions, and then just when u didn't think u knew what u wanted, u've had a a complete conversation with yourself, which he's listened to very carefully, and he knows exactly what to do. anyway, i can usually tell in the first 15 min if someone knows what they are doing, and he seemed like he did in the first 5. he's got a gift, yall. he's got the experience and expertise to know that cutting off as little as a centimeter of hair is going to make all the difference in making your it grow out perfectly. his hands are made of magic and rainbows and puppies and unicorns and gold and all things that are good. i can't tell you how may times i've gotten out of his chair and been like "i didn't know my hair could do that!" i just counted about 12, yeah, 12 people, i've referred to him. ladies, i know you're looking at my photo and are probably thinking "but does he do women's hair?" - OF COURSE HE DOES! as a matter of fact, not only does he do women's hair (probably mostly), but the first time my roomie went to him, she came home and was like "woah, i look like a total babe! best haircut of my life!" -- also, true story, my roomie and i were out on South Congress for 1st Thursdays and this woman was like,"sorry, i know this might be weird but i've been walking behind you this entire time, and I'm just curious to know, where do you get your hair done?" here's a link to his site where u can book online: http://www.hairbyjoel.com/ do it. read more

I was referred to Ava through a friend and was very happy I was! She did an amazing job with the layers in my super thin, straight hair. Can't wait to go back! The salon is also super cute with plenty of space between each station so you don't feel cramped. read more

I moved to Austin 3 years ago and had hair dresser for 8 years where I used to live. When I moved here I found Lori D. by word of mouth. I have been with her for 2 years and love her! She knows what I like and don't like. All I do is come in and she just takes care of me. I always walk away happy. I will follow her and have followed her where ever she goes. My stepson loves her style too. He likes that she is young and knows today's looks, I love that too. I can always count on her making time for either of us, no matter how busy. Go see her her you will walk away with a great experience and smile! read more

Joel Hamburger is a hair cutting genius. I have extremely curly and frizzy hair, so I've spent a fortune (and lots of time) getting it straightened for the last 16 years. Recently, I've begun seriously trying to simplify my life, which includes letting my hair do what it does naturally. I knew Joel in high school when we lived in the Boston area and had no idea he lived in Austin until I ran into him at a party about a year ago, where we caught up and he told me he was a hair stylist. I hadn't seen him since that party, but for some reason when I was thinking about this haircut, he popped into my head, so I did some Internet research. I liked the photos that were on his website, and there were enough glowing reviews from people with curly/unruly hair for me to decide that he was the man for the job. When I showed up at the salon my hair was shoulder length and had about 4 months of growth since my last straightening. The difference between the straightened hair and the new growth was pretty dramatic and looked weird. I told Joel that I wanted a cut where you couldn't tell that my hair had been straightened, even if it ended up being really short. He thought he could keep some of the length and have it look natural. I agreed, knowing that I could always cut more off later. After looking at my head very carefully for a few minutes, he came up with a plan, and explained it carefully to me. At no point during the cut did I have a moment of panic with what I saw in the mirror; just the opposite, as he was cutting I thought, "This looks so much better than I expected!" By the time he was done I already loved it. I immediately started getting compliments, even from my uber-hipster friends. I was a little nervous that the haircut would look different after I washed my hair, but I've washed it a handful of times since then and it still looks great. I was pretty nervous about taking this big step with my hair, but Joel made it easy and stress-free. I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair before! read more

Francisco is fantastic! Love him (always get a good cut) and the Peacock space.

Ava has been cutting my husbands hair for quite some time. Now, she cuts my daughters hair. She went from a super boring blunt cut to this amazing pixie cut. Even though my daughter is only 7, Ava treated her like any other client. Now, I'm next. Can't wait to try out their services on my own. read more

When I lived in Austin, I always went to Annie. Then I moved away and found my way to someone closer. Now I pretty much find reasons to go to Austin just so I can schedule time w/ Annie. In short, she's awesome and she knows how to cut curly hair like a mutha. read more

I was fed up with the grow out process of my pixie because I really didn't want to grow it out. I was merely trying to save a little money. This past Friday, I called maybe 4 salons total looking for someone with an opening. I used to be extremely picky about hair dressers, but I didn't care who did it, as long as it was at a highly rated salon! JOEL HAMBURGER had a 4 pm opening and I was ecstatic to snatch it up! Not only was he a joy to talk with, but this is my favorite haircut of my life!!!!! I don't think I will ever visit someone else! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH JOEL! I feel FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! read more

I went there because my hairstylist moved to this salon. I already drive over an hour for his services, what's a few more blocks? Ricky Hodge has been doing my hair since I moved to Texas (about 5 years). This last time, I told him what I wanted. We discussed the cut and finally, I decided against it. The following week, I received so many compliments on my hair (not unusual) from co-workers! This is why I go to Ricky: He cuts my hair not how I want but so it will look good on me. Truly, the man is an artist and is very talented. read more

Joel is so meticulous. He listened to me and took the time to work with me. My hair is VERY thin and VERY fine so normal cuts ruin my length for months. Most stylists just treat it like they would normal hair. But he understood how to work with it. There was one point when he showed me he was cutting maybe 3 individual hairs. Seriously. I read reviews and that's why I chose him. I'll definitely go back. read more

Kim is AMAZING! I recently got a haircut from Kim and she did an incredible job. I moved to Austin in February and waited until may to get a haircut because of so many bad experiences previously. I am hard to please when it comes to haircuts with my curly hair and was so nervous that I kept putting it off- no longer will I have to do so. Kim cut it exactly the way I asked for, great layers, and it looks great styled as well as naturally curly. Thank you peacock salon for the amazing service! Will definitely be seeing you again. read more

To be fair my 5 star review is more for Amanda Eggiman than Peacock Salon. I've only been to the salon once, for a quick dry cut with the stupid talented and amazinggggggg Amanda E., so I wasn't able to really tell much from that one visit. Amanda recently moved to Peacock from another salon and I came with! I actually take time off work and drive from San Antonio all the way to Austin just so she can work her magic on my hair. Once you find that one person who takes pride in her work, knows what the f* she's doing, is the ultimate professional and super sweet, there's no going back! I have trust issues when it comes to my hair but when I sit down on her chair, totally relaxed, looking forward to an awesome conversation, and she asks "what are we working on today", the words "whatever you want and think needs to be done" just roll of my tongue. And that is priceless! Even more priceless than that? Ever since she started cutting my hair, over two years ago, I've never had to brush it! I sh*t you not my friends! the closest I come to that is running my fingers through my conditioned hair in the shower to get rid of any crazy knots. Once I step out of the shower, I put some motion lotion from Kevin Murphy (super natural, paraben free products that Amanda introduced me to, of course), run it through my hair and that's it! It somehow airs dry all fabulous. People compliment me a LOT on my hair and I always credit Amanda and her genius cuts. Oh, and have I mentioned her color techniques are badassssssss?!?!?!?! She does my highlights in such a way that when they start growing out they look even prettier! So you're not needing a retouch every few weeks. If you are tired of being a slave to your hair, if you want to embrace your natural beauty, if you drool with envy every time you see that chick with beachy, effortless waves or if you just need a good freaking haircut, book an appointment with Amanda. The only downside to seeing her is that you will be ruined for life...you won't want anybody else touching your hair again. Ever. read more

I just recently moved back to Austin and sought out my old stylist, Camille, whose worked at several other salons here in the Austin area. The location of Peacock is pretty convenient to downtown and the space is amazing. It's inviting, thanks to the giant windows. Combine the environment with Camille, who does amazing haircuts and to-die for scalp massages, and I'm a fan. I definitely will be back! read more

Kerrie rules! I had some adventures bleaching my hair at home, with not-terrible results, but I wanted something less "not-so-bad" and more "good". She knew exactly what to do, added highlights and more dimension. Subtle but still significantly better. she def knows her stuff. And the olapex/ conditioner wizard magic has made my dry hair insanely soft. She's Super friendly and bubbly too! read more

I am still going to Lori for hair cuts and color, and am as pleased with her talents now as I was 4 years ago. Their location on East Cesar Chavez is convenient (parking lot is almost always available), and super cute. Lori always offers me wine, or sparkling water and the atmosphere is very comfortable. I just went super short for the summer and I LOVE IT! I have and will continue to recommend Lori to anyone looking for an awesome stylist. read more

Lauren Lust is, by far, the best stylist I have ever had. I've always gone to high-end salons (as a curly haired redhead I'm rather protective of my locks...) and I've never had a better cut than the super-reasonably priced Lauren has given me! I have a "new-mom" pixie, and Lauren's cuts last me at least 8 weeks, which my short haired sisters know is an eternity. All of my friends and family now use Lauren (men, women, long hair, short hair) and the sentiment is the same. Did I mention she's super sweet and a foxy lady? Although I don't color my hair, I've seen her work, it's beautiful, and super natural looking. DO IT. read more

Joel Hamburger is a terrific stylish. He's great with my very curly hair and my SO's wavy Asian hair. He actually looked at me and figured out how my hair would look the best rather than just cutting it the way he wanted to. Peacock Salon is a nice shop where my 4 year old isn't treated like a leper. We followed Joel from his last shop and are glad we did even though it's a bit further drive for us. Among Joel's best traits is he's laid back and no drama, that's very nice to find in a great stylist. read more

Go! This v place is great. Francisco is the best. Reasonably priced men's and women's cuts. Great soap for sale too.

Jeromy, Jeromy, Jeromy -- oh how I have missed thee? It has been a couple of years, I strayed from color overall and you took me back with open arms and gave me glorious hair. You sure know what you are doing and I want the world to know because I am the pickiest of them all:) read more
