I have to agree with SS. I went to Riser and Co about 4 months ago and walked out of there completely confused. Riser is a nice person but he spent the whole time trying to convince me of how great he was! Shouldn't your work speak for itself?! The haircut that he gave me was "meh" at best. I could've probably got the same cut at Supercuts! So I decided to go to Jes for color because she convinced me of how much better it would make my cut look. So I took a chance. During my appointment with Jes, there was a young girl seated next to me that she was working on at the same time. (I understand this happens because you have to wait for color to develop, so you have extra time in between) What was coming out of this girl's mouth was downright repulsive and disgusting! Jen just laughed it off. Come to find out she's been friends with this girls mother for over 10 years! No wonder! The color was nothing special either. These people thrive only because their family and friends from their "church" give them great reviews. Please spend your money at salon that is more professional than this. They depend on their own circle of friends for reviews to lure the general public in. read more

I recently had eyelash extensions and wanted them again. I found Tammy on Craigslist and am so thankful I did! Ladies, if you want dramatic looking eyes, go see Tammy now! She is running a fantastic deal until the end of Jan and you will not find a better price anywhere. I love my eyelashes. I get so many compliments. One of my co-workers asked why my eyes look so pretty today. Get used to it, they will continue to look this way as I don't see myself without my long, lush, beautiful eyelashes again! read more

As a stylist, I'm super picky and hesitant to try new artists, but Elle was confident and assured me she had it going on, and she did! Very professional, fun, and friendly !!!

Riser & Co Salon - Elle hooked a girl up !!! Love my LOB - Hair Salons Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Riser has been cutting my hair for years. Not only does he do a fantastic job on my hair but he is the nicest man on earth! I don't get my hair colored, highlighted, etc. right now but Jess would be the person to do it. Riser and Jess are talented, professional, highly skilled artists in their field. They are also kind, friendly, caring, and fun folks! I would recommend Riser & Co. salon to anyone wanting the absolute best cut and/or color in the Austin/Cedar Park area. read more

SO GLAD I FOUND RISER AND JESS AGAIN! They moved from their location on Cypress Creek to the Blue Lion Salon Studios next to Best Buy at Lakeline. Just can't have anyone else cut my hair! He's that good! read more

I found these folks after my normal salon went flakey on me. I've been very pleased with the color and the cuts have been phenomenal. If you're like me and you don't know a thing about coloring and highlights, they'll work with you and give solid advice. My hair is wavy, and with a meh cut it looks like a rat's nest after a few days. The cuts Riser gives really shape my hair and it looks good until I get it cut again. They're not your $19.99 hack n slash, and you do pay $$, but I have no problem paying for good service and quality. read more

I love my experience at Riser every time. Jess is GREAT with color and Elle does a fantastic job with cut and style. I highly recommend them. And of course Riser is AMAZING. read more

Riser & Co Salon - Love my color by Jessica, super shiny and the color stays vibrant. Cut is exactly how I wanted it, thanks Elle! - Hair Salons Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

All you need to know is that these people are shady! If you need to know more, continue reading... Contrary to the other reviews on here, I had quite the opposite experience. (I suspect many of these reviews are from family/friends). For one, Riser and his wife were literally the only people running this place. No employees, not even a front desk person. That's fine...to an extent...but if you're going to charge what they charge, I'd expect a more professional and smoothly run experience. This was not the case. I got my hair cut first by Riser. For someone who is supposed to be the best of the best, he certainly spent a lot of time trying to convince me of that. It was very weird. I would liken him to a used car salesmen for hair...literally the entire time he was not so humbly bragging about where he learned to do hair and how he came to be the best, yadda yadda. It was kind of a red flag. If you're THAT good, you don't need to do all that talking. Also- not the best cut of my life. The length is a little crooked and the layers are wonky. Definitely not worth $75. But here's where I get REALLY pissed. I called asking for Balayage, which Jess said she could do. I was told that color would be about $85-$100. I'm not particularly educated in the hair department, but even I was skeptical of what she was doing... it was NOT balayage. She gave me regular highlights. Just standard highlights with foil...to my roots...and then sold it to me as balayage. Not to mention, the color sucks...it's red which is NOT what I asked for. I'm not expecting to bring in a picture and have it look exactly the same, I'm actually pretty chill about how things turn out, but this was whack! There are blobs and streaks where the highlight stops abruptly, it just looks crappy. Jess is also spread too thin. She was doing my color and someone else's color all at once WHILE ringing people up at the front and taking appointments on the phone. I think she left my color on for too long and that's why it came out so red. Anyways, at the end I was disappointed (admittedly I acted like all was good because I didn't want to hurt her feelings) but SHOCKED when my total for a haircut and highlights was $220!!! WTF? This greedy couple gave me crappy highlights at a balayage price! (knowing that they weren't trained to do it). Nobody is perfect, but this was very clearly an example of a business that is greedy. Newsflash: if you're gonna charge your services like you're an upscale salon, then ACT LIKE AN UPSCALE SALON! This place sucks, do not waste your time or money! UPDATE: As an update I just wanted to be fair to the business and acknowledge that they've reached out to me. Although that is great business practice, I'm declining to go back because I feel like to fix my color, I should go to someone who specializes in balayage. Should have done my research the first time. I still stand by my bottom line: The value of their services does not aline with their pricing. read more

The state of my life for the past few years has been one of stress, and I seriously have not had time or want in a year and a half to go and get my hair done. Needless to say, my hair wasn't in great shape. Beyond my hair just not being in great shape, I have been using a straightening iron for the last four years or so, which has effectively fried my hair. I've been looking at salons on Yelp here for a little while, trying to decide which salon to go to...as there seems to be varying reviews. My Mom needed someone right away, as did my husband so I sent them both here and they loved the service, color and cuts they got, so in I went and I was not disappointed. When I came in, a very nice girl greeted me right away and handed me a clipboard with a short form to fill out, (dry erase which was unique) and gave me a smock. After just a moment of sitting there, I was sent back to meet with Jessica, who was to do my color. She was a bit busy but very attentive, talkative and sweet. She seemed to know exactly what I wanted, and she got me foiled pretty quickly. I chose an all over highlight with some reds and blondes to punch up my existing color. She did an awesome job and my color looks fantastic - perfectly on the mark! Additionally, she was smart enough to take some shears to my long locks before coloring, realizing that there was no reason to color everything when I told her I was going a bit shorter. After my rise and blow dry, I was on to see her husband, Riser. Riser's cutting techniques and the experience he provides are one in a million. Seriously different than anyone I have ever had to cut my hair before. If you want a personalized experience, he is your guy. He is full of information, heart, and passion for his craft. I'm usually a bit nervous when I get my hair cut, I'm generally not very trustful - after a few moments I knew that I was in amazing hands. He also seemed to have perfect intuition as to what I wanted with little to no explanation, (because... it's hard to explain sometimes what exactly you want, especially to a professional - and often things get lost in translation) which was awesome. He explained to me that he does hair cuts for the individual person, and to fit their head. He used two combs and a pair of scissors, had me sit and stand, and look in different directions. He was quick and precise and honestly, I love my cut. I can flip my hair to either side, put it behind my ears, run my fingers through my bangs... it looks good every which way and that was his total intention. In short, I love this salon. Jessica and Riser are the two people I needed to stop my flat iron cycle of destroying my hair, and to get me out of the rut I was in with my hair. I am certainly glad that I found them - I already have an appointment to go back in October - and I can't wait to have them do it again. I was there for 3.5 hours, and none of that time was wasted. Truly an awesome experience! read more

Riser has been doing my hair for 10 years now; although we are not close personal friends, or church friends, he and I have become very close, hair related. I haven't known his wife nearly as long, however, she is amazing, inside and out. Not only are they professional. but get to know you, and your style, on a personal level. When I first met Riser, he worked at Tony and Guy. I then followed him to the Galleria salon, and now to Cedar Park. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. He knows what he is doing, and is very proud, as he should be, of all of his knowledge and training. I have heard him reassure new clients, who come in dissatisfied with other services they have received at other salons, that with his experience and knowledge, they will not be disappointed. Today, was no different! I love them, I love their knowledge, and his style skills, and her color skills are amazing. I went in feeling a lil' bit beat up, and left there feeling like a new person! I give an idea, and trust them enough to take my idea and do what they want with it. I am NEVER disappointed, and always leave feeling so much better than when I went in. They are professional, loving, giving, sincere, genuine and all around good people. I recommend Riser and Company to anyone who asks, and believe me, I have a million people asking who does my hair. It's waist length , and beautiful; which before Riser started doing it? It was waist length and not so beautiful! It looks shiny and healthy; all thanks to them....not sure how there could EVER be any negative said about them, as an articulate stylist, and a color perfectionist, these two are the best of the best.....and Riser and Co. is my forever salon x0 I will never settle for less x0 read more

I only found Riser and Jessica after searching yelp for a good stylist. After a lifetime of bad haircuts I wasn't expecting much, just maybe a haircut I didn't hate. My mom and me went and at first we were happy with how cool and nice they were and that I didn't feel like I was being treated like a #, but the haircut.....best cut I ever had !. I actually loved my hair. Now I will never go anywhere else and I feel like I not only have great stylist's but met great people. No more dreading my haircuts! read more

I absolutely recommend this salon to anyone I encounter. Each stylist there specializes in specific services. I personally only get color when I go. I see Autumn every time and she is one of the SWEETEST people in this world. Jess and Riser own the salon. All of Jess' work I have seen (while there) has also been amazing! And, I am more than ready for a haircut and plan to see Riser in the near future. These people know what they are doing. Every single time I get color there I get so many compliments on where I got my color. I suggest Riser & Co to anyone who is looking for GOOD non-yellow highlights and awesome cuts! read more

Best salon in the Austin area. Riser and Jess are the greatest!

I had a color with highlights, cut and style. I liked the color and highlights but the cut was not quite what I wanted as I discovered when I got home. I called and was told that Riser had an "opening" in 5 days. The cut was for a special occasion and I needed it corrected right away so I was disappointed there. It would have taken maybe 15 to 20 minutes tops. Other than that the service was good. I have been to several high end salons and this was not one but it was still very good. The biggest issue was the price. I walked out having paid $200. That's why they only got 4 stars from me. read more

FINALLY - someone who understands curly hair and a staff that actually LISTENS, both with their ears and their intuition! Great people, great service, great hair color and highlights and great cut. Enough said! read more

I dont even know where to start! I started bleaching my hair about 3 years ago and pretty much sucked all the life out of it. Ive never really had a stylist before, I just jump from salon to salon until now. I went to Riser and Co just to touch up my layers and get a trim. I wasnt expecting to much because no one has ever really done anything great before, and reguardless my hair is just dead from the bleach. After Faith cut my hair it felt alive again!!! No dead ends and the layers are AMAZING!....And even if you dont want a cut just go ask her for a blowout, its to die for! I dont think ill let anyone other than Faith touch my hair again!(: read more

I've been getting my haircut here for years now and it is always great! I wouldn't go anywhere else! Ive gotten more compliments on my hair since Riser started cutting it. Riser has amazing attention to detail and will really take the time to make sure that the cut looks great. read more

I have used Riser for over 15 years and he always gives me a Rock Star cut. i have had many people mistake me for famous musicians all because of the hair cut i get from him. He is the best. read more

Jess & Riser are the best in the industry that there is. Jess is an artist in color Riser is in cuts. Have been going to them for years. I would never go to anyone else they would just never meet up to the quality received from these two. read more

Jess (color) and Riser (cut) are as professional and personable as they come. I'm new to austin and they were highly recommended by locals. I will trust no one else with my hair. Amazing experience, attention to detail, and their humor isn't bad either ;) read more

I feel bad to be in the minority but this place was just "meh" for me. I thought the color was great but I wasn't crazy about the cut. My 7 year old son said "don't worry mom, it'll grow back and you'll look nice again". To be fair though, I was told I could come back to fix it if I wasn't happy(I told the stylist to go crazy and do what he thought would work best for my hair type). I was the one who chose not to go back so maybe it's my fault. read more

Tommy Aiken says - would you like to be entertained and get the best haircut of your life? It amazes me every time Rick cuts my hair how good it looks and how long it lasts before I need my next one. There have been times when I travel and I had to get a haircut from some one else (I hate that) and I always end up coming back for Rick to fix it. If you want to enjoy yourself and look good, let Rick cut your hair next time and you'll see what I mean. read more

Riser has been styling my hair for over 10 years now and I won't go anywhere else. I have fine textured hair which can be difficult to cut well, but he works his magic on it and I end up with a perfect cut every time. He's very skilled in doing razor cuts and gives my short hair lots of style and texture. It also grows out gracefully between haircuts, which I really appreciate. No more bad hair days!! He makes it look so easy, but of course it's the result of his many years of training and creative genius. His lovely wife, Jess, works with him and is a true artist when it comes to color. She gives me great blonde highlights that compliment my skin tone beautifully. The two of them are the best in the business, and also some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They always take their time and make you feel like you're their most important client. :-) I get compliments on my hair everywhere I go, and I always send everyone to Riser & Company. They are simply the best! read more

Jess did another great job with my color! She really does know her stuff and is such a professional. Thanks again so much!

I just received the best haircut and color I've ever had in my entire life! I had been using a box color to color my hair for sometime and it was looking bad! I have long hair and wanted to get it trimmed but thought it was probably in bad shape and would need to get a lot cut off but that was not the case. Riser could not have cut it any better, I am so blessed to have found him and Jess. Oh and you should see the beautiful color I now have, just gorgeous! They both stand out in their fields...I've looked for a hairdresser ever since I moved in '07 and have been so disappointed with the cuts, that I would only go once a year because I knew I would end up with a bad cut. Well, if you ever want the best cut and color in your life you will go to Riser and Jess! I can't say enough good things about them. I won't ever have to look for another hairdresser and color specialist and I finally have found what I've been looking for. read more

These people are so sweet and professional. Not to mention extremely phenomenal at what they do! Thanks Riser and Jess!

When I moved here, I needed a new hair place, and this one was close. I was immediately put off by their policy of having to make two appointments if you wanted cut and color. After the long move, I made the way too expensive cut appointment anyway with Riser. He spent the whole time telling me how incredibly good he was, and did way too much touching on the shoulders, and even offered a neck massage. He was just plain creepy, and the haircut that was accompanied by so much ridiculous flash and ceremony was below average, not even being the same length on both sides. I was so creeped out that I immediately found someplace else. Having to listen to him and put up with his ridiculous affectations was bad enough, but the overpriced cut wasn't even good. Then having to make yet another expensive appointment (and tip) for color...not happening. Thank goodness I found the Breeze Salon, truly professional and so relaxing. read more

I went in there to get a color and cut a few months ago. Apparently,they had misunderstood me and thought I was only there for a trim. In any case, while waiting for my haircut, I heard Riser talk to his customer about the state of my hair. I heard, "Oh wow, it's going to take a long time to fix that hair! Mind you, I have really long hair and it needed to be dyed and cut. I'm a little older too and I felt humiliated. To the customer's credit that was in his chair, he looked mortified that the stylist made that comment about another customer. I then asked his wife if I could reschedule since I wasn't getting my hair colored that day. Anyway, I rescheduled but never went back. While there, she asked if I wanted Riser to look at my hair and make suggestions, I politely declined. I didn't say anything because I hate to make waves but I think I should finally stand up for myself and let other clients know that you may be being talked about. I have been to a lot of high end salons and I have never been treated with such disdain. read more

I am conflicted about this salon. They are all inconsistent in their service. Yes, Riser can give you a good haircut. But he tends to do his own thing. Jess gas colored my hair several times. The first time was great but the second time was a disaster!!! I am a burnette and wanted to stay the same color with just lighter highlights. However, that day she was talking way TOO MUCH with the inexperienced hair colorist and they messed up both clients hair. I was turned blonde and the other client who wanted a lighter blond got burnette. It was a total MUCK up. I immediately expressed my frustration and total dissatisfaction. But instead of Jess apologizing and offering to correct her color mistake...she took on the role of a cheesy cheap salesman and told me how great it look and that I would love it if I gave it a chance. That's code for I am too busy and don't give a damn if your unhappy. So she sent me away in tears. I called the next several days trying to get in for her to correct HER MISTAKE but she was always busy. So I had to go to another salon and pay another $150.00 to get my brown back. Jess should go back to school and learn what true customer satisfaction means. read more
