I was fine to forgive that but then she asked me if I wanted anti humidity spray in my hair. Of course I said yes. I'm in Austin for Pete's sake. But she did not tell me there was a charge associated with that. It was $15!!! Flipping hairspray was $15!!! I'm guessing it would have been cheaper to just buy the bottle. I didn't know there was a charge until I was paying. I went ahead and paid for it but I feel bamboozled. My coworker also said yes to a spray and wasn't charged extra. What in the actual F! How is any sort of spray worth $15??

I made an appointment online - very quick and easy. Closer to my date, I received an email requesting me to confirm my arrival. Upon confirmation I received an email with parking directions - be sure to follow these instructions! I was confident in where I was going but completely underestimated my ability to get here on time. (Traffic, new parking area, etc.) I ran late and received a call from Louie who was so kind and helpful on the phone. When I arrived to the salon Louie greeted me and tended to me throughout my appointment making sure I was comfortable and offered me a drink. Aaron was my stylist and did an exceptional job. I booked a consultation just prior to my appointment and we talked about my expectations. I had a great experience with Aaron who kept it professional and made the long process bearable. Overall 100% satisfied with my new hairstyle and the service I received. I will be back! And another special shout out to Louie for throwing in a second validation for some extra time in the parking garage. This allowed me to spend a little extra time downtown.

I took their online quiz and got 3 matches, but none of them had availability on the day I wanted. I ended up scheduling with Lynzie Quintero. I messaged Lynzie to ask about dimensional (babylight) coloring prices and they were sadly out of my current budget. I did switch that service out for the K-18 treatment which I've never done before. Lynzie was great throughout the appointment and very supportive of the questions I asked and patient with my inspo pictures.

What sets Kali apart is that she continuously educates herself on the latest equipment, procedures, and skincare innovations. She vigorously researches anything she sells or puts on your face, which gives me complete confidence in her recommendations. A few treatments that have transformed my skin: Fibroblast, microneedling, peels, dermaplaning, and now Sofwave. Fibroblast virtually erased my lip lines and crow's feet, improved skin texture, minimized large pores, and tightened areas of laxity. The results have been remarkable. Kali's facials are exceptional because they're customized. She analyzes your skin, listens to your goals, and tailors treatments to achieve the best results. You're never rushed. If you book a facial and your skin needs something different that day, she'll discuss your options and help you achieve the results you're looking for. For microblading and lash lifts/tints, anyone at Love + Roots is fantastic. The entire team is talented, professional, and focused on delivering beautiful, natural-looking results. Kali and Jessica have built something special. They are kind, passionate, knowledgeable professionals who genuinely care about their clients. I could go on and on, but I'll simply say this: go see them. You'll thank me later. And don't skip the retail boutique--I've found countless gifts there for friends and, of course, myself!

I had a great experience as a new client at Vain. I chose to book with Olivia because I was looking…read morefor a stylist who isn't so focused on color services and prioritizes cutting technique. When I called for an appointment, the receptionist was great and even offered me a cancelation appointment for the same day. During my service I was surprised and grateful for a few small but significant details: Olivia took a lot of time with me before shampooing to discuss my lifestyle and help me choose the right cut for my hair type. I felt confident that she was using my hair as a guide and was really helping me succeed in managing it. As a not-tall person, I really appreciated the footstools at the shampoo stations. (I didn't feel like I was going to slide out of the chair!) Olivia was awesome in answering all of my questions about products and haircare, and she was meticulous with my cut and blow out. Now, a few days later, I still love how my hair turned out. Strong recommend for Vain and Olivia!

The true story of Olivia. One day I called a company I trusted which was Tony and Guy(still trust…read morethem). I got booked by a random person named Olivia. She told me she was getting a new job somewhere else. For the next cut she had given me her personal number even though Tony and Guy wasn't letting her do it she did it anyway. I met Olivia ONE time. Olivia was INTERVIEWING at a new salon and had me go to the new salon. Vain.... First of all you can look by the photos on instagram Olivia did not know how to cut a mullet she had no photos until she met me. #1- she didn't like the style I chose as a client which was definitely really layer more like a mullet and I TAUGHT HER WHERE to cut my hair. #2- She refuses to flat iron my hair because she thinks it's bad for my hair even after I requested it the entire cut- and my hair was crooked due to the fact it's wavy. So at Tony and guy she fixed the crooked but at Vain? No way she definitely did not create a good look my hair was crooked on one side. So I called the manager to get the hair fixed on one side. For some reason maybe I was too honest and nice? Not sure!! But they did not want to fix my hair. Here's how the facts go for Olivia 1- she lied to vain to get the job claiming I'm a client that's following her around even though I just met her 2- during my cut at vain Olivia said thank GOD you are helping me get my job here in this interview 3- refusal to flat iron my hair so we can make sure it's even on both sides. In fact she laughed like she's gonna do what she wants even if I flat iron my hair and it's healthy she want going to do it. 4- lack of styling knowledge sorry Olivia- and Vain- but Olivia didn't know how to dry bangs that are wavy. She did not at Tony and guy yet- she was struggling with my hair she kept them wavy and they were crooked. So she had done some research on how to do my hair by the time I came back and showed me a technique she JUST learned. I'm like her guinea pig at this point. She had no clue how to dry bangs that were curly like mine. I watched her struggle and not listen and my bangs were crooked. 5- look at her profile from before Vain well then I requested my mullet cut showing her exactly how to cut my hair FYI LOOK at my hair right now- I have cut it myself ever since Olivia. Sorry but I'm an extremely amazing artist and I can cut hair it's an art but it's not brain surgery it's actually extremely easy to cut hair. It's not hard and I cut my hair better than Olivia ever has and that's a FACT. 6- By the way- this entire time I have been TEXAS STYLE NICE and quiet just letting Olivia LIE to Vain acting like I'm a client that knew her but really she just told me she moved from Miami and needed a job. I don't know her - she did bad with my hair in 3 areas but whatever. 7- Uneven hair- so mostly my layers on both sides of the face were completely different. I'm pretty sure Tony and Guy(a better salon) would DISAPPROVE of what she did to my hair. But when I told Vain Salon I was uncomfortable with my haircut and by how uncomfortable with Olivia? They took Olivia's side who they only knew for a month for some reason. I lost sleep because I spent so many years letting people walk all over my kindness. They were rude and it was only because I told them the truth about Olivia. They all wanted me to shut up. So I did- because now Olivia who started cutting girls hairs like MINE AFTER I TAUGHT HER WHAT GIRLS IN AUSTIN WANT NOT Miami wild child long boring Florida girl hair. No I taught her Not to cut hair crooked How to cut curly bangs How to cut a mullet What girls want in Austin Flat iron is ok on hair Apparently I helped her get a job ALL OF THAT?! and mostly? I just needed my hair fixed on each side. But guess what I do it myself now you all act like layering in such a skill and the art in cutting hair but really it's in THE SERVICE. And the service from Olivia was so trashy. So I'm finally saying something because the emails I have from the owner? Were such rude responses I'm going to guess "Vain" owners that are NOT TEXAN are what's going on. I did nothing wrong but be wayyyy too nice to the owners and Olivia. Who lied to them to get a job and Olivia shut me up this long!!! She traumatized me. But I'm the artistic girl she sucked my fashion, my knowledge and my energy. Hunny your "talent" is something I can do in my sleep Olivia. Your job was to be nice and you failed at that. The end.
