    Love the experience I had here. I brought my boyfriend here because he has longer hair but always wants to go to a barber shop which they never cut/style his hair right. So he finally gave in and listened to me and the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. Every staff member was so much fun, positive and also very professional. The Hair stylist Cameron seemed very knowledgeable and did so good with my boyfriend's hair. The salon itself is chic and is such a vibe, which totally adds to the experience. Loved coming here and can't wait to visit again!

    What I wanted
    Cintya P.

    I did not have a good experience at this Salon!! Here is the story..... I had been dying my roots with Madison reed products that was mailed to my house. I had not been to a beauty salon because I was afraid my hair was not going to turn how I wanted it to be. My hair is black and my grey pops out more in the front so I was really getting tired of doing it myself at home and at the same time I wanted a change. I sent my husband a tik tok from this girl that got her hair done by Rusty at Ron King Salon and a month later he surprised me with a "500" dollar gift card from there. Well when I tried to schedule a consultation with Rusty they told me that he is an independent contractor and he does not take gift cards I was really sad but had to schedule an appointment with the other stylist. ( I did asked my husband if they told him any rules about the gift card and he said no, he just told whoever the receptionist at the moment a brief history about my hair, what I wanted and an idea on how much he should put in the card. I ended up scheduling a consult with Lawrence. When I went for the consult I told Lawrence about my hair history and what I expected I even showed him a picture. He said that because I used box dye that we couldn't go to light because the dye might not take. (Which I wasn't trying to go blond what I wanted was an ash brunette) after looking at my hair he did reassured that we could get close and might take another touch up visit to get there) any ways he gave me a quote for 380 ( it was going to be close to 400 ) I didn't tell him how much I had in the card. Well I schedule the appointment with him since this salon had good reviews. The Day of the appointment My appointment was at 11:00 I got there at 10:40 Lawrence cut my hair first (this is the reason I gave then a one star) the haircut was not bad ) then he proceeded to do the rest. I didn't leave until close to 5:30!!! By the time he was done I was ready to leave, I was hungry my neck hurt because I had my neck on the sink for a while etc. When I saw my hair while he was blow-drying it I said to myself this looks like he just dyed my roots with the same black base I had come with, I really couldn't tell a big difference but just few highlights(which looks orange) When it was time to pay he said the total was five something but since it had the 500 dollar gift certificate that he was just going to leave it at that. I really was blown away when he said but like I said I was ready to leave so I just asked for a receipt and left. FaceTimed my husband and he couldn't tell what I had done much. We to work and they all told me that they charged me way to much for what they did because it was not what I wanted AT ALL. Which I knew but was trying to be positive. The more people I talk to they were shocked how much they charged me for not doing what I wanted to begin with. Called Ron Ling Salon and told the receptionist that I was not happy and he said that they would make it right and schedule an appointment to fix it at no cost. Well it was lie .... When I went to the salon, Lawrence took me back and just basically told me that it was going to take more visits to get the color right and that he needed removed the color if I wanted to go lighter which I showed him a picture wow. He said he could fix it but it would cost and he gave me an hourly cost (ridiculous) I told him that I'm not going to pay because my hair looked nothing like what I showed him I wanted and I wasn't happy. He proceeded to bring the two owners Ron king and Ethan King, which that is when I felt very disrespected. Especially by Ron he was very rude. At one point I was trying to showed him a piece of my hair and he yelled at me and told me to STOP. Basically they told me that it would cost me to get it fixed or done and we don't know how long it would take but I was going to pay by the hour. They told me they couldn't get it done today even thought I told him I drove 45 min and I was not going to pay anyways so I got up and told them I had leave. I had had enough and was very upset. I would not go back to this place or refer anyone here. Here is a picture of the receipt and before and after pic and what I wanted Ps: he charged me 3x for a gloss??? A balayage which from looking at videos he didn't do that he did highlights but I'm not a hair dresser all I know is that they charged me way to much to just dye the gray (roots ) and put some highlights just crazy!!!

    Before- very red, energy dead.

    Okay booked with Andrew after a fate sent me to the Ron King Salon. Best decision- he is incredibly talented, so very patient and ultra focused for HOURS during the massive overhaul he took on with my hair! Cannot recommend him enough because he 1) Nailed a difficult color fix 2) Killed the cut 3) Gave me the exact look I showed him from the inspo pic 4) Booked my appointment the day after I contacted the salon. Really, Thank you Andrew for everything Salon itself is clean and has great lighting with aesthetic straight lines throughout. Every staff member seemed totally present, involved and interested with their work. Both owners were in and out of the salon throughout the day

    My friends to this day talk about how bad my hair was I have been wanting to get my hair dyed but I have ptsd I just think this had to be shared even though it was a while ago. I went from having blonde to purple and I Jen I tired to come back to have it go back to blonde since the purple was washed out. I walked out and cried in my car but I thought I was overreacting until I went to a fords birthday and everyone was asking me what happens to my hair they thought I did it to myself I then went to a salon and Houston and the lady did my hair and said she felt so bad for me she did a color correction for very Cheap and I just went back to my Natural hair which is very dark brown. This is a nice salon but I went because I was referred by a girl who has amazing hair and she gets it down by Andrew pretty sure! I had a girl I don't want to say her name on here but Maybe I should've gotten another person so I don't want to say bad things about the salon entirely it's so clean and pretty.

    Platinum blonde with extensions.

    I've been to the best when it comes to salons. Ron King Salon knocks it out of the park in every category. Service, ambiance , skill, price for value. Ethan is a master. Meticulous and perfect eye for what I needed to do. And my hair is complex. I'm telling all my friends to go there!! Love y'all Ethan and Ron!!

    I take my hair seriously. I know what I want in a salon experience, and I don't risk walking out of a salon with a bad haircut. Ever. In the two to three hours I spend with a professional getting me gorgeous, I want to feel like a queen, and I expect to walk out looking like one. It's a tall order, believe me. But finally, after two years of searching, (and two years of driving up to Fort Worth on the regular to get my hair did), I found a new stylist and salon conveniently located in downtown Austin that meets my highest expectations. Ron King Salon is my new happy place. Ok, so "conveniently located in downtown Austin" sounds too good to be true. But Ron King is just two blocks off I-35 and validates parking in the retail garage attached to the building. That's a big plus for me. Just be sure to allow plenty of time for traffic, and be prepared to park somewhere else if the parking garage is full. I kept Wesley waiting for 45 minutes past my scheduled time. Speaking of Wesley, my new stylist, he may look like a regular haute-T, but Wesley is a scissor wielding hair ninja, an artist. He gave me the kind of quality cut that probably grows out nicely. Not only that, he knows his products. I have dry, gray hair. I wash every day (yeah, try to stop me), and I hot curl or flat iron frequently, and, well, I'm old. I have needs. Wesley analyzed my frizz like a doctor and Rx'd the perfect combination of moisturizers. A week after using them daily, my hair feels and looks like a shampoo commercial. I was in the salon a couple of hours getting the full pampering from Wesley, wine, flattering attention, a relaxing shampoo, cut, dry, and style. I enjoyed every minute of it, not just the eye candy that is Wesley and EVERY OTHER STYLIST IN THAT PLACE, but the tasteful decor, subtle lighting, and music. I intend to return soon, even though my hair cut could probably go six weeks without a touch-up. Wesley has holiday plans for my do that may or may not include an upswept something or other for holiday parties. I don't know, yet. I'll let him surprise me.

    Entry Area... So pretty!

    This place is as good as it gets. Modern ambiance and also relaxing. Pleasant check in and was offered champagne upon arrival. The entire salon is green; ask them about it, the process is INSANE, mad respect for their efforts. I came here for a woman's hair cut with Dallah. Dallah is amazing... he is so passionate about his work and is also incredibly good. I left feeling so confident, and so relaxed. I can honestly say it was my best haircut. I will be back and I will go to Dallah!!

    Andrew did a a fantastic job for my first visit! I've got some work to do on my mug, but it was a great start!! It was reasonably priced too!! Think I found my new spot!!

    By Jose Vidal!
    Chelsea I.

    I've never been loyal to a salon until Ron King Salon! Jose Vidal is simply the best! I leave feeling beautiful every single time. Jose listens to what I want and makes it happen. I was very interested in balyage, but not wanting to go all in. Jose was totally understanding and started with just some face framing and I'm going back for more color soon. The interior of the salon is super trendy and you feel like an honored guest during every visit. I have seen some reviews complaining about the price - but this is a high-end salon in downtown Austin, so why would you expect cheap prices? In my opinion, RKS is worth every penny! UPDATE: Went back today for more color and had another excellent experience with Jose!! He just got back from a training and used some new coloring techniques on me and they turned out beautiful. I love that he takes the time to keep up with industry trends! Jose always exceeds my expectations!

    Anyone who knows me knows that I'm serious about my hair! Naturally, I was a bit nervous coming into the salon but that quickly disappeared when I met Andrew! He greeted me and quickly got me set up. He explained everything so thoroughly and paid close attention to details to ensure I was happy with my hair color! He was so nice!!!!! Everything went so smoothly!! The salon overall is so beautiful and well decorated! The hair washing station has relaxing music playing and relaxing decor! I really enjoyed my experience and I'm glad that I've found a great hair dresser in Austin. I recommended this salon to anyone who is looking for a new hair dresser or is new to Austin :)

    The "After" - Thank you Kati!

    I have found MY hair stylist when I travel to Austin for Business. KATI you are AMAZING. Last month I went to Austin and I desperately needed a hair cut (haven't cut my long hair in about a year!). I've always had mediocre experiences when I went to some salons in Jersey. Most of my Asian friends say that an Asian person needs to cut their hair. I totally don't believe that anymore. Kati is super talented and super nice! I showed her a few pictures of the cut I wanted and she agreed that the pictures would look good on me. She tweaked it a little because we had cut my hair a little shorter ( I wanted to cut off as much as the split-ended hairs as we could but still maintain the long hair look ). Kati even took some awesome before and after shots for me! I LOVED the finished product and my hair still looks great. It's the first time in a long time that I have loved my hair cut. Thank you Kati :) I would have bought all the products she used to blow out my hair if I could (couldn't because of the flight home). Anytime I'm in Austin and need a haircut or blowout, I know where to go! I felt very pampered there and felt I got a lot of value from the money I spent.

    Before meeting my Hair Stylist, Ethan King, I didn't even know I had curly hair. I've always considered my hair to be "slightly wavy" at most. After my first haircut with Ethan, I was shocked to look at the mirror and see the most defined curly locks EVER. Ethan also took the time to explain to me how to care for my newfound curls, from wash to styling, and he did so in a simple way that anyone (read: me) can do it. I swear the compliments I get on my hair now are endless. Ill never let another stylist touch my hair again. It's fitting Ethan is a King, because he has the Midas touch!

    After getting home!! So much rich color!

    Oh my goodness! What a wonderful experience! I went in today for a color appointment with Jasmine. Now let me say, I was going in for an unconventional color, dark emerald green, and have an unconventional hair cut, basically a Mohawk with bangs. Having said all that, this salon intimidated me a bit. I was treated like a queen! Everyone was so nice and I must say the wine was delish! Jasmine was so thoughtful and great to talk too! I asked her about the salon and how she started working there and was very impressed to learn she worked very closely with the owner (Ron King, also an absolute delight and sweetheart) for a while before taking on clients her own. That says a lot about a place. The owner takes the time to make sure each employee is trained to his high expectations. Every detail of visit was perfection! Jasmine made my hair look and do things I never thought possible, seriously, my eyes watered up a bit as I left. I walked out of there with the confidence of a lion and a strut in my step! Thank you so much Jasmine and Ron King!

She has gone out of her way to teach me proper hair care and maintain my extensions. She is honest and I trust her.

Her calm demeanor and wisdom puts everyone at ease. I feel so lucky to have Averie as my stylist and to have been taken care of at Urban Betty for so many years.
