The stations are arranged so that you have good privacy with your stylist. Good space between stations and hairwashing area. Terrific music playing. Stylists are all very friendly. Sometimes you'll be greeted at the door by a big, lovable dog too! read more

From their website, I was under the impression that Salon Uffizi was an upscale salon. Nothing could be further from the truth. I bought a Groupon for a salon mani-pedi with Roberto. Later I tried to call the salon to confirm --- you can't speak to a real person, and I later found out why. They do not have a receptionist. There is a Byzantine system of voicemail and if you don't know the extension you want, you have to listen to the whole long list and then leave a message. I left a general message which no one ever returned. I showed up a little early for my appointment. My first impression of the salon was a very strong chemical smell. There were several customers seated in the waiting area --- a row of seats ripped out of a movie theater (complete with cupholders)! There was no one at the reception desk. I stood waiting for a few minutes --- I had hoped to book a walk-in shampoo/blowout in addition to my mani/pedi --- but no one came. The salon is set up so that you can't really see the reception desk from the stations. While I was waiting, at least one stylist yelled from the back of the salon for her next customer to come on back. After a few minutes another customer got up, walked over to a station, and said, "You've got somebody waiting up front here." A stylist emerged, looking very put upon. With her facial expression, tone of voice, and body language, she did absolutely everything she could to let me know it was NOT HER JOB to deal with me and it was weird that I was waiting to be helped. She did everything but roll her eyes. She said, "Ummmm ... can I HELP you?" I said that I had an appointment with Roberto. This confused her. She had to think about it. Then she said, "Ummm, he's not here yet but he should be in a few minutes." And she went back to her station. No greeting, no invitation to have a seat, no offer of water or coffee. She just wanted to get rid of me. And this was a middleaged woman, not a young girl. I have no idea where the attitude came from. I had driven all the way across town for this appointment, with plans to leave town for several months the next day, so even though ordinarily I would have just walked out at this point, I decided to wait. Roberto had been very nice on the phone. After about 10 minutes he called my cell phone to say his car wasn't starting and he didn't know when he could get in. He apologized and asked if we could rebook the following week, which I couldn't do as I am leaving town. At this point, he should have offered to rebook me with a colleague, but he did not. It's not Roberto's fault that he was having car trouble, and he did apologize profusely, but he should have offered to rebook me with a colleague especially after I told him I was leaving town the next day and had specifically made this appointment so I'd have a nice mani/pedi before traveling. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I drove back across town to Art Nails and Spa, my neighborhood Vietnamese nail salon, where I was greeted cheerfully, seated immediately and offered a drink, got a fabulous salon pedi and gel manicure for less than half of what it would have cost at Salon Uffizi, and which came with a lengthy foot, calf, shoulder, arm, hand, and neck massage. I have learned my lesson and I will NEVER go back to Salon Uffizi. read more

Nancy, gave me the best facial ever. She has so much knowledge of skin care. I felt so relaxed that I feel asleep. The massage I received from Nancy felt like heaven. My skin was glowing from the facial. I went back to Salon Uffizi to get my eyebrows shaped by Nancy. Hands down the best eyebrow shaping I had in my life. Nobody has ever been able to give me such a defined arch. I could not stop looking at myself in the mirror. My eyesbrows were tranformed, I felt like Freida Pinto the most beautiful Indain actress known for her amazing eyebrows. This lady is good at what she does. I have been to the Bliss Spa in New York, Anastasia Beverly Hills Salon and never received the quality of service Nancy provided me. .Salon Uffizi does not have the upscale esthetics of those salon but the service I received from Nancy is superior. read more

I highly recommend Luisa at Ufizzi! I recently moved back home to Austin and feel I have found a hidden treasure. She did a fabulous job on my hair, both cut and color. She taught beauty college for years ~ she really knows her stuff! Luisa is also incredibly pleasant and the salon is very nice as well. read more

Joan Brown is an ARTIST with the color! I have been to her several times for highlights, and she will mix a pallette of shades to give my hair depth and shimmer. I've gotten many compliments on my hair color since going to Joan! read more

Salon Uffizi - Joan's expert hair color at Uffizi Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been coming to Chad for over 20 years. He is one of the best colorists in the country, and can cut some very challenging hair. I have friends who travel from other states to keep themselves looking fabulous!! read more

I am missing the girl hair gene. Thank God for Erin! She gives me the kind of haircuts that can withstand my lack of basic skill. I get compliments for just brushing my hair. She does the color, too, and people (...ok, men) have actually said that they don't understand why I'm not going gray! It's that natural. Chad is also very talented. I have seen some great cuts from him. When my hair starts to really thin I am going to go to Shayna. I have seen nearly bald women come away looking like they have a full head of hair. She integrates hairpieces with what they've got and you really can't tell. If you get shampooed, get Patricia to do it. You will also get a head and neck massage that will make your day. I get her to do my eyebrows, too, because I have never had anyone do a better job. read more

I have moved with Erin and Willa Kaye for many years. Super stylists and better people. Know everyone working there and literally like them All. Chad can tell you which restaurants he's tried and recommends. My Willa Kaye cut my hair for years and the last few I asked for a shaved head. She hesitated but did it. I love it and get regular compliments. And I get color every other cut and look fabulous. Hah. Come on IN. It's a great place to get beautiful and visit with folks who become your friends. I told Erin on my last trip that I appreciated the way she sets the tone for the shop. It's a fun place with lots of smiles and hugs. And if you don't need a new style just get your hair washed by Patricia. She washes, massages and makes you feel like a new person. Love Salon Ufizzi. read more

I like this place--have been going to Diane about 1 1/2 years now. I always feel comfortable in this salon--it's nice but down to earth. The stylists are friendly, and the clientele is very diverse--young, old, hip, traditional, etc. The shampoo ladies are to die for.....LOVE their scalp massages!! read more

Luisa is by far, one of the best hairdresssers and colorists in Austin. And she's one of the nicest people in Austin! I've been going to her for many years. She fixed my self-coloring attempts several years ago (I got it way too dark) by stripping it and starting all over with a fresh updated color. I've seen photos of some of her more intricate dye jobs that the more adventurous people like and they turn out so beautiful! She is a wonderful soul and just an incredible hair stylist. Btw, you'll get an incredible shampoo and head massage from Patricia at Salon Uffizi also. read more

A co-worker recommended Salon Uffizi to me - specifically Erin the owner. She cut my hair quickly and did a great job. I especially appreciated that she kept asking me about what I wanted while cutting my hair, "Do you want it to be dramatic? Do you want it really bouncy?" I was so pleased that I booked an appointment for another service before leaving the salon. I'll definitely go back and would recommend her to others. Oh yeah, and like the other reviewer said, great scalp massages. read more

I can't recommend Erin enough! I have crazy hair, thick and curly but easily tamed. At the same time my scalp is really sensitive to chemicals. Erin gives me the best hair cuts ever and uses great products that look awesome as well as nourish my hair. I always get compliments on my hair. Thanks Erin! read more

Erin cut and styled my hair after I went through chemo therapy. I have never gotten this many compliments ever before :) She is very knowledgeable regarding post chemo hair care. I'm definitely going back to her, and have already started recommending her to other post-chemo patients. read more

I've been going to Erin for about 15 years. She's genuine, creative and a great hair stylist. She's extremely experienced in color and cuts, but most of all, keeping your hair healthy and you looking/feeling your best! Highly recommend Erin as your go to hairstylist. read more

Joan has been cutting my hair for awhile now and I love her and her prices! She is always fair, listens and goes the extra mile. Willa Kay recently helped Joan work through a color problem my daughter had. Willa Kay being the color expert. Joan came in on her day off and spent 5 hours using Willa Kay's prescribed remedy. My daughter's beautiful locks were saved. Patricia is the best shampooer ever (and I have lived in 3 states). Her head and neck massage (included if she is there) are absolutely amazing!!!! As I look around the salon I realize this is truly a Happy place to be, they all like each other! Erin is the owner, she's talented and one smart cookie. I am so glad I found them... read more

I have followed THE BEST stylist in the world (Donna Akers) as she has moved from salon to salon in Austin over the last 20 years. Salon Uffizi is far and away the finest salon yet. Super clean with no offensive smell and with an exceptionally talented and friendly staff. Patricia Reyes gives a shampoo that is more like a scalp and neck massage where your hair happens to get clean. I recommend Uffizi with NO reservations. Oh! There are great manicurists as well. One stop shopping. read more

Ladies, it is the man in the back of this salon you need to see for your hands and feet. Roberto Guerra is THE BEST nail tech I have ever used. I went to see him recently after jamming a heavy wooden shelf into my big toe during my move to Austin. The nail was pulled loose from its foundations on two sides, filled with gunk and infection. This man knew exactly what I should do to recover this poor mutilated nail. Now, three weeks later, it feels fine. And, Roberto was able to give me an outstanding pedicure. Afterwards, my boyfriend couldn't tell which toe had been injured. How fine is that? Guerra's manicures are better than I have had anywhere in the United States. No wonder two of Texas' first ladies have consistently used his services! read more

I have been going to Nita Jarvis for my mani/pedis now for almost 5 years. She does an AHmazzing job! My mother was actually the one who referred me to her. To this day we still laugh about how my mother warned her how picky and particular I am about my hands and feet. Nita ALWAYS brings her A-game. Never have I had to correct her how she files my nails, or how she applies polish. She always finds a way to fit me into her schedule and never minds that I'm always switching from polish to gel to shellac. Which, by the way, she rocks at! I'm in the cosmetic industry myself and I wash my hands a bazillion times a day, but never has my shellac polish stayed on the way it does with her. Truly wonderful at her profession. I'll be with her until she hangs her nail-tech hat. read more

Great atmosphere and great stylists! Luisa has taken care of my hair (and lack of when undergoing chemo), my eyebrows, and my facial hair for years! She helped me transition to gray hair with grace! She is also an awesome singer in her band Pearl. And Patricia gives a great shampoo/scalp and neck massage!. I don't think you will be disappointed with any of the stylists....Jean C. read more
