The salon is located in a cute converted old house, adding to its charm. I appreciate that there's always a spot available in the small parking lot behind the salon.

She's consistently applied artistry with precision to the myriad styles I've requested over the years, and she intuitively knows how to cut in a manner that's face-flattering. The time flies by when I'm in her chair, and I always leave with an extra bounce in my step. Bonus: Erica's cuts grow out beautifully, so if I'm traveling and need to stretch an extra week or two between salon visits, it's all good thanks to Erica's expertise. Brava!

Curly girls, you know how hard it is to pick a new stylist. At worst, we get someone who whacks at…read moreour hair in giant chunks or *shudders* thinks a straight cut is a good idea. At best, we find a stylist who cuts at an angle, understands layering, and maybe dials it up with a razor for texture. I thought I had experienced top-notch curly cuts, and then Carla Estevez moved the bar. I found Carla via a friend-recommendation, and I've referred her many times since. Here's what makes her stand out in my mind: she curates curls like she's sculpting, rather than cutting them in a traditional way. My first cut, I needed a complete reshape, so she did The Usual that I'm familiar with to get reasonable layers. Then she dried it...and the magic began. Once she could see what my curls were doing, she pulled individual curls out to snip, and continued this way around my head as we talked about how the shape was coming along. Because of this approach, I could SEE what was emerging and have input. As a result, I ended up with an adorable angled cut that had lift and bounce and really put my curls in their best mode. I also went shorter than I EVER would have allowed another stylist to take me, because each step, she asked questions, and because of my response, we adjusted. It's been two years now of amazing cuts and I rarely wear my hair pulled back now...it's just too happy to be contained. If you need a curl-tamer, go see Carla. Seriously, you deserve a cut this good!

I have difficult hair…read more It's long, it's FRIZZY, it's curly (but not in that cute-wake-up-like-this-way) and it's THICK. I've had hair stylists tell me I should probably cut it (It's just SO much hair!!!), sigh when they realized they were going to have to style my mane, and others that are just completely incapable of dealing with its sheer weight (I've had a lot of flat up-dos) I met Laura in my early 20's, and she definitely changed my (hair) life. She was patient, CAPABLE of working with a lot of hair, and honest. She styled my hair for my wedding, and it looks FLAWLESS in every photo. She took a leave of absence for a while (after having kids) before returning to work at Dye Salon, and I visited a lot of places to get blow outs in the meantime. They were fine, but when I went back to Laura to make my hair pretty this January, I remembered ALL that I was missing while she was away. My hair felt light, it felt sleek, and it felt voluminous. She knows and understands hair more than most - I basically couldn't stop touching it! She's an absolute professional, and probably knows more about me than many of my friends. i CAN'T wait to see her again! Long story short: Go to Laura. She gets hair.

Had my first post-pandemic cut with Lynnie and I couldn't be happier!!! I've been cutting my own…read morehair for 14 mos, and while Lynnie was super kind and generous in telling me that I did a good job and that anyone would struggle to cut the back of their head where they can't see, I felt like my hair was a real mess. I mean, just chaos all over. So now that I'm vaxxed and about to take a trip back east to visit family I haven't seen in what feels like eons, I knew I needed professional help. And since I'm relatively new to Austin, I turned to Yelp for help in choosing that professional help :-) I absolutely love the cut and style Lynnie gave me, and, as I said, I felt like her task was extra challenging because of all the chaos I wreaked on my own quarantined head, ha. So I'm extra impressed with the end product! This cut is super cute and stylish and attractive and it feels very "me." I love it! Also, I love that Lynnie asked about how I style my hair at home, and maybe bc I'm lazy or maybe I'm impatient, I usually just let it air dry. So she gave me tips for styling it that way and then put me under the dome dryer to mimic the air dry so we could see how it looked after. I really appreciated that extra touch too-- it was so helpful to me since I feel like I learned some new tricks that I will actually carry out bc they're easy and don't require me to do anything time-consuming. Also, I felt very comfortable with Lynnie. In addition to clearly being so talented at her craft, she's a warm, friendly, all-around nice person who I enjoyed chatting with while she was making over my head :-). I was so looking forward to my first professional self-care experience post-vaccine (my husband is in a vulnerable group so I've been psychotically cautious for the last year so I wouldn't unknowingly give the virus to him). I was so looking forward to it that I could barley sleep last night! But at the same time I was nervous bc I am so easily embarrassed (I'm working on that), and I really was embarrassed about my hair. Lynnie put me at ease immediately, and her kindness and patience and warmth made the whole experience fabulous for me, so it was good for my outsides and my insides. I feel so good with this new haircut (I feel 10 years younger, maybe even 20!), and I feel so grateful for finding out about Lynnie. In case it's not already obvious, I will be returning again and again to be the lucky recipient of her talent, and in case it's not obvious, I highly recommend her as well... the highest recommendation I can give! Thank you so very much, Lynnie! You've made me day/week/month, and you have already made my upcoming trip more special :-D UPDATE 5/27/21: I took my trip back East and got sooooo many compliments on my hair! (Even a flight attendant complimented me, so it wasn't just people who know me, but a few strangers too.) Also, I had lots of pics taken of me (which I normally don't like bc I don't like pics of me), but these pics were sweet bc they were me with my first grandbaby! If Lynnie hadn't fixed all that I had done wrong to my head over the last year I am positive I would've hated those pics of me bc I would've been distracted by how bad my hair had looked instead of focusing on the baby. So thank you for that huge save, Lynnie! (If I weren't so shy I would post a pic of me. Alas, I am that shy.) Also, this cut is a dream to take care of: it really suits my wash-and-wear lifestyle, and looks so good to boot. And Lynnie showed me some cool tricks to accentuate the style when I air dry. And I forgot to mention that I have short hair-- I read somewhere that short haircuts are harder to do well than long ones (makes sense when I think about it). So that's another well-earned feather in Lynnie's amazing cap! :-D

I could go on, but just know I went to see another color specialist when Lynnie was out due to Covid and let me tell you... it was a one and done bc Lynnie is the only colorist/stylist who does it right.

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.
