Original review: Have called twice in the past 2 get days. I also left 2 voicemails,and have heard…read morenothing back. Once was a Monday, yesterday. This place does show being closed on Mondays, so I guess I understand them not answering . The other time I called was the today, Tuesday , in which they say they're open. I was interested in getting my makeup and hair done for a work Christmas party. This place has decent reviews,and is right by my house. However, no one has contacted me back,so I'm now I'm scrambling and needing to go elsewhere. I figure,if you're a legitimate business, with a phone number and your business hours show as open, that you should answer the call or at least return voicemails left on your Google phone number with an Austin area code - that make it look like you're using to try and make yourself appear legit in this area. Austin has no shortage of good hair stylists,and I'll be taking my business elsewhere. It is unfortunate, but that's how it goes when businesses don't respond to potential new clients. Updated review: Ally called me and explained why she didn't call back sooner. She also let me know the names and phone numbers of other stylists she's worked with in the past for similar things to what I was looking for! Pretty nice of her to do! Thanks Ally!

I was in from out of state and needed a quick shampoo and blowout. I decided to pick this salon…read moresince it had good reviews, but I learned my lesson that I should've asked for the pricing prior to booking. I did have a nice scalp message as well as, a quick wash/blow out from Tamra, taking about a 1/2hr nice & quick too! My assumption for price range (I thought) would be your typical city prices of $55-$75. But I should have asked first because the total upon checkout with a 20% tip was a whopping $146.10!! So price for blowout -no flat ironing, no curling etc. - ended up $116.88 without tip! Always ask pricing prior to booking!! Lesson learned! :/

Very modern and welcoming. When I came in, I was greeted by the stylists working on hair.

Everyone was chatting and clients seemed relaxed. Maribel was my stylist, and was super easy to talk to. I showed her some reference pictures and explained my situation, and she made sure we were on the same page before getting started. The hair wash was glorious, and Maribel had my hair washed, cut, dried and styled in under an hour! I highly recommend Torres!

Giving her 1 star is too much credit. She insisted she could do a perm and did them often. It is…read morea big lie. She was very disorganized and kept losing her spray water bottle while doing my perm. I should have gotten up from the chair and ran when I saw her reading the perm solution box more than once. After she finished with my perm she could not decide what hair product to recommend and didn't have any hair products on hand to put in my hair. My hair is one big frizzy lump of hair. I am having to pay a lot of money, again, so that a professional can correct it, and make it look like I have a perm as opposed to one big frizz lump of hair. I reached out to Alicia asking if she would refund half of what I paid and she of course circumvented my request and instead offered to show me how to do my hair. I will never return to her. Not an honorable person at all because if she was she would have been honest at the onset and told me she wasn't competent enough to do perms but instead she charged me a lot of money for one big disaster of a perm.

I've unfortunately had to get a haircut or two when out of town on long trips, and am always reminded why it's best to only see Panda! Outside of Panda, Birds on Slaughter offers the typical free drinks, games and chill vibe of the Birds Barbershop model...BUT...it also offers a more hospitable and "you're one of the family" vibes than other locations.

Oh my gosh!!! I've…read morelived in Austin for 25 years and have lost count of how many stylists I've tried. Xavier had great reviews and is within a short drive from my home. So, I held my breath and scheduled an appointment. I'm 72, have naturally-colored, grey hair, and wanted it layered. It's difficult to find a stylist who can do a decent layered cut. But, Xavier hit the mark. He is a scissors, brush, and dryer wizard. We spoke until he was sure he knew exactly the results I wanted. He definitely delivered. No more bad hair days for me!!! In the morning, I simply fluff up my hair then run my fingers through it to make my style spring back to life. Within 10 minutes it's dried and styled....no brush needed. I simply sweep the dryer over my hair with the concentrator nozzle in the direction I want it to fall. No product is needed to keep it in place. My visit with Xavier was extremely enjoyable because he's such a vibrant, engaging person. We chatted away the entire time I was sitting in his chair. It was so relaxing to be in a private room where I wasn't forced to listen to multiple conversations and dryers blasting. Xavier even has the courtesy to silence the ringer on his phone. Thank you, Xavier, for such a pleasant experience. See you soon!!
