Went here to get serviced by nails by nostalgia I love 4 mins away but she didn't provide a clear address so my Uber was confused then proceeded to not answer my calls or texts while I looked around AFTER attempting to go in the salon but all the lights were off then told me I was too late for my appointment and never rescheduled or gave me my deposit back even though I was only late due to lack of communication on her end All while I needed my nails done for an important event very inconsiderate read more

I have been coming here for years! Brenda Cisneros is truly the best. I always leave feeling like a million bucks. I had to leave on a last minute trip & she was fully booked, so she came in at 7 IN THE MORNING just to accommodate me. She always knows what I like & most of the time I just sit in the chair & tell her to do what she thinks will look good on me. We sit & talk like we've been friends forever. Her suite is decorated so stylish & she always offers me refreshments! I love Brenda Cisneros!!! Come see her! read more

Topher Machuca-- see the name-- know the name. If you want f'ing great hair, you need to book under his name. I've been a client of Topher's for over a year, and let me tell you, the boy works his magic! He colors your hair in a careful way, to let it grow out beautifully. I usually hate my color in a couple of months with it growing out. But not anymore. Topher does it right. His prices are completely fair, and he is very entertaining. Whether you are looking for a fade, a design, or crazy colors.. he can master it. read more

"Skin Body Soul" Laurie Hoyt (Estetician) review: facials are affordable, luxurious, thorough and long! I never feel rushed here. She steams my face and does extractions too! Her products all smell wonderful and are all safe. She has done peels on me too which are very effective for getting baby soft skin again. She also has done eyebrow shaping that looked great! She is experienced and it shows. I go once per month and in 6 months I have seen a HUGE improvement in my skin!!! It looks the best it has looked in over 5 years! I no longer use harsh acne medications or retin-a products. If you want to improve your skin, I highly recommend Laurie. She is also very easy to talk to, listens closely and has a calm relaxed energy that is very soothing and healing. read more

Ok so I got another cornrow style on 6/4/16 by Patience. See pix. This style was a remake of a style I did on my own head. What you don't see is the single cornrow going from the base to the crown of my head in the back because of how my hair was put up. This day, Patience appeared extremely distacted by 2 visitors, her son and her pastor. They came at 2 different times. I understood her child being there for a few min to be picked up. What I couldn't get is how quickly she forgot my request as her braiding technique went from gentle and patient to tight and fast. Yeah, her son was irritating her and I in turn felt this emotion on my scalp. I told her during my 1st visit, via email, and this visit how sensitive my hairline is. I also repeatedly told her when the braid she started was too tight. Hmp, she even told me I "complained" and how I was the only person who told her she braids too tight. Patience even said she would apply edge control and start the row further back as if that's going to make it looser. I admit she asked me several times if a braid was too tight. A few days later. Patience asked if my hairline relaxed. That's where the credit ends. Btw I ended up w small bumps in different areas of my hairline because it was so tight. This is also something I warned her would happen if her braiding is too tight. Both a comb and hair extensions fell to the floor. In turn, those same items were used in my head. Why?! When I got home and took a closer look at my new do, I noticed the up do was on the sloppy side. A few days later, it was starting to come down. Also, Patience used to much gel at the start of some of the rows. This resulted in caked, flaking gunk that I picked off. So much for thinking she was on point with styling. Ms. Patience seems to be a cool person, but I won't be returning. I care to keep my hairline. Oh, I returned a 2nd time to give her the benefit of doubt. Mo hair. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Erika Loya, who I clicked with right away. I walked in for my first haircut after growing it out over a year. I had no idea as to what style I wanted or would look good. She helped me assuring she knew just what I needed. My haircut came out amazing and she made sure to keep my length to my hair as she promised. I would recommend her to anyone, she is friendly, funny, and just a great energy to be around. read more

Was scheduled with a Katlyn Kapcoe for false lashes. It was a gift for my mother. Was rescheduled the day of her appt. and was stood up on the rescheduled appt time and day. Needless to say i was referred by a friend to use her, never been so disappointed in customer service and unprofessionalism. Will not be looking at this place for any services. read more

I am giving them a 1 star rating for pissing off my stylist to the point that she left!

Erika is an amazing hairdressers!! A true artist, she completely transformed my hair and boosted my confidence 110%. I had to go in for a color correction and my hair is supper long. She really took her time and payed attention to every detail, the amount of compliments I got was insane. I recommend her 10/10. read more

This review is for Rose Garcia Winsman. She has her own hair salon at Salon's By JC. She has been doing my hair and my daughters for several years. Not only is she completely lovely to spend time with, but she is also an amazing hair artist. She cuts and colors both of our hair and she has never disappointed us in any way. On the contrary, she takes what we ask for and delivers something even better, every time. Thank you, Rose for helping keep us beautiful! read more

I found out about Salons by JC from an awesome Livingsocial deal. I was a little hesitant because the deal seemed too good to be true for haircut, full highlights, and glaze. However, as a college student you take what you can get, so I went ahead with it. At first I was disappointed because my originally scheduled appointment was canceled less than an hour before the appointment. Although the hair stylist was incredibly apologetic, I was already on the way to the salon, and I had planned the appointment before a trip to California. The hair stylist wasn't able to reschedule me until after my trip. That being said Brandi Cooper, my hair stylist, did a fantastic job on my highlights and cut. I came in with highlights grown out (almost to the point of an ombre look), and I wanted the same highlight color touched up. She was really friendly and worked with obvious professional skill. My thick head of hair took only about 1.5 hours, and I am very happy with the end result. The highlights are the exact color I wanted, and my hair looks shiny and healthy. I would definitely recommend Brandi Cooper to others! read more

I gave Topher some creative license after seeing his other work on yelp. I could not be more pleased with how it came out! I've had a number of hair disasters in my past, mostly caused by me being a bit too cheap and going to schools where half the students don't know what they're doing. This time I decided to step it up, and I'm so happy I did. Very reasonable pricing and very friendly; I'll definitely be back to see him. read more

Salons By JC - Before/after - cut and color by Topher. I gave him creative license on the color, just wanted something different. Very pleased! - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went to Topher to get my hair cut and colored and I am in love with what he did! I decided to go lighter, which I've never done, so I was nervous. Topher provided some constructive suggestions about what would look good with my skin tone and we decided on a beige blond balayage. It was really interesting to hear him talk about the process, he obviously knows his stuff. I'm really happy with the results and I'll definitely return when it's time for more color. read more

I decided to give this salon a chance since my regular stylist was booked , and I needed to get my hair done. There are many stylists there, and it was just my TERRIBLE misfortune to be booked with BRANDI COOPER. I went in for blonde highlights, red low lights, root touch up, and a trim. Blond highlights...good. Red low lights...fine...on top of my head, anyway. My roots in the front (which I didn't see til I got in the car) completely missed! But what really took the cake was the most HORRENDOUS haircut I have ever, ever, EVER had in my life! After she finished the blow out, she hurriedly charged me, claiming she had to get down the hall to throw towels in the drier. I never saw the back of my hair til I got home and looked at it with my own mirror. And when I saw it....Shock! Horror! TEARS! I mulled all of this over for a day and a half before I decided to contact her to request only a PARTIAL refund so that I could get this mess fixed, and I sent her photos of my roots and the hack job to back up my request.. I honestly (and quite mistakenly) thought she would handle the situation professionally. WOW, was I ever wrong. Get ready for this.....not only did she accept absolutely no responsibility for that unbelievably horrible haircut, but she actually accused me of doing it to MYSELF!! She did offer to touch up the roots. Because, after all, she couldn't deny THAT! If she could have accused me of magically growing them out in a day, I am sure she would have. UH....NO. There is no way on Earth that I would ever let someone so incompetent get their hands on my hair a second time. So just be warned, ladies. The stylists there are independent contractors, (and I am in no way implying the other stylists there are like BRANDI) meaning they rent a room in a building and work for themselves. If she had worked for a regular salon, the manager or owner most assuredly would have made this right. But she works for herself. So DENY DENY DENY and SHIFT THE BLAME is the name of the game with her. If you value your hair, and we all do, DO NOT go to BRANDI COOPER. not only is she incompetent, but she is unscrupulous as well. I would give zero stars if I could. Be sure to check out the photos on this website on the upper right hand corner.....but be sure you are sitting down. read more

As a stylist that has been renting a suite here for over 2 years I have to say I love it! Having a private suite and being my own boss has been a blessing and I thoroughly enjoy coming to work everyday. It's conveniently located, it has a beautiful design and my favorite is that I have 24hr access because my schedule can be chaos sometimes. I have made friends with other stylists here that will be lifelong friends and enjoy the little community we have built. If you are considering renting your own suite I would highly recommend doing so here! :) read more

If you have a family or a young child, this place is not for you. I prefer to have my family go to my hair stylist for their hair cuts. BUT at Salons for J.C., this is not the case. My husband and I felt very uncomfortable and my 7 year old son couldn't even laugh. One woman kept walking by us while giving us a disapproval look. I am very very disappointed and offended with the management, especially Dana (whatever her name is) and I do not intend to recommend this place to any of my friends, family or co-workers. I would have not chosen a complete star but only HALF a star. This is how dissatisfied I am with Salons by J.C. TIP ~~ replace management with professional individuals that possess people skills and frankly respect and manners. read more

This review is specifically for JENNA S. I have been trusting Jenna with my hair for over 2 years. Jenna isn't afraid to give her input and lets you know what cut or style she thinks will work best for you. She also isn't afraid to do dramatic color and seems to know what I want to do with my hair. I've gone from black hair to blonde in two sessions. Previous stylists were too afraid and wouldn't even try. She has also done balayage highlites on me. She is the balayage Queen! I took the leap last year and decided to cut off about 12 inches of my hair. She is the only stylist I would trust with this task. Another task I would only trust her with is razoring my hair. I have thick hair and she razors it but keeps enough so my hair still has volume. She is reasonably priced and I always leave super pleased with my new do. She loves her job and her work reflects that. Hair styling aside she, as a person, is delightful. She's so sweet and easy to talk to making the overall experience enjoyable. I use to be the person who put off hair cuts because the stylist always said they had to cut a lot of hair to get the layers I wanted. I would leave unhappy and with shorter hair than I wanted. Jenna told me this isn't true and never cuts more than I tell her to. Simply put book your appointment. She will make your hair look the best it ever has and will always try to fit you into her busy schedule. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could! WARNING!!! Do not, I repeat Do Not visit Kimberly P @ Salon by JC! She called me 4 times within 15 minutes to confirm my appt (yes this should have been a sign!) My husband finally answered on the 4th call and asked her to quit calling. So I went to her on Friday 8/7/15 for a 2 inch trim...walked in with hair to my waist & walked out with a butchered job of a hair cut. She was unprofessional, took a nap while I sat under the dryer getting a deep condition, offered my daughter cake she had been eating off of, kept closing her eyes while she was cutting (obviously!) and while blow drying my hair dozed off & fell into me! Terrible terrible visit! Most certainly NOT a trim & a horrible horrible cut job as well. I called the owner, Dana, after I left & she apologized ten times over & sent me to her personal hair dresser on Sunday to fix it. Jen did a great job of correcting the awful mess done by Kimberly but now I'm stuck with much shorter hair for a while :-/ Go figure...I'd read all the negative reviews on Kimberly AFTER my terrible experience! Why oh why is this woman still cutting hair??? read more

Salons By JC - Walked in with hair to my waist, asked for a 2 inch trim...this is NOT a trim & it's not even a clean cut!! Terrible! - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

One of the tenants in this location made me feel very uncomfortable. She actually had a Hispanic electrician watch me & my wife until my wife's stylist arrived. I felt that was racist & uncalled for. She stated that this wasn't the case, which is often the response when this issue is brought up. If this wasn't the case, then tell me why the electrician resumed his job duties and left the front area after my wife's stylist arrived. This may or may not be your experience if you go to this salon. Enter at your own risk. read more

Hair by Maryalice is a diamond in the rough! She's SO incredible! She managed to squeeze me in three days before my wedding for a trim and color. She educated me on the process of getting the color I thought I wanted and we decided together to go a different route. She then completely took me by surprise by creating a custom color just for me! It was such an amazing experience! So glad I found a FANTASTIC hair stylist in Austin who's real! She didn't sugar coat the fact that the color I wanted would destroy my hair! I would highly recommend her to any and everyone looking for a fantastic and friendly stylist! read more

Chelo is awesome!!!!! She is a great person and a great stylist, she really knows what she is doing ! I recommend her 100%. I got highlights and the Brazilian blowout. My hair is amazing, it looks healthier and without frizz. It is very worthy.. I would totally trust her to work on my hair. The best stylist I've ever had... read more

Jennifer cut my hair a couple months ago and did a great job. No issues with the Groupon and she even offered to honor the same price next time. Unfortunatley, when I called today for an appointment, I was told she was no longer there. :-( It is close to my home and they will take late appointments. Owner suggested another stylist. We'll see, wish I knew where Jennifer went. read more

One on one. Went with a groupon at hand. Very talented lady doing the nail art. Had a great experience. I can only vouch for Paradise Nails.

Salons by JC is a beautiful well maintained modern concept salon for individuals to lease a room where you can have your own small business without all the extra overhead expenses & responsibilities of a small business owner. I currently have my business here and I am very thankful to have such an opportunity to run my small business here. The place is always very clean and kept in a business like manner. Operating a quiet relaxing spa in a salon with over 30 individuals and their clients can get very hectic. The manager/owner does a fabulous job keeping this place professional and quiet. I highly recommend having your business here and visiting with the other talented business owners. There is someone for everyone here. read more

MaryAlice has easily become my new go to hair stylist. I visited her for the first time this week and she took the time to listen to what I wanted done with my hair. I came in for a haircut, deep condition, highlights, style and cut. She took her time throughout it all and it was clear she has years of experience. She made me feel comfortable and transformed my one dimensional damage hair into beautiful rich brown locks with layers of gold highlights. I am so glad I found her and will be going back to see her in the future. read more

I am kind of surprised by a lot of the reviews as I had a completely different experience. I bought a groupon for this company as it was only $20 for a Women's haircut and conditioning treatment which I needed so I decided to cash it in. I called the number and Kimberly Pierce was my stylist. I booked my appt on the first call and showed up on time and it went wonderfully. She was so easy to talk to, fun to work with, was really attentive to detail on my long hair with layers, and I really enjoyed working with her that I tipped 50% of the groupon total itself! I highly recommend Kimberly Pierce. I even am trying to book an appointment with her to simply style my hair for an Engagement Shoot next week. She is super sweet and I think regardless of some of these reviews you guys should try her out! I am somewhat of an introvert but we talked about everything there is to talk about and the time flew by and my hair looks amazing and feels so much healthier now! read more

Review for Kimberly (hair colorist). SO UNHAPPY WITH SERVICE!!! I booked my hair cut/color for a friend and I a week ago and sent emailed pictures of our requested hair color. The day of the appointment (2 hours before), I called to confirm and she let me know that she didn't have anything CLOSE to the hair color I'd emailed, the only color she had was red. As I took off work for this appointment, I am livid and strongly suggesting you do not visit this woman. When I told her I felt upset that she failed to let me know this before the day of the appointment she said "okay.", not even an "I apologize"!! She was very rude to me and I will not be going back. read more

I made an appointment for Saturday Apr 2nd @ 3 pm. I received a call later that the lady booked me incorrectly, so it would be 4pm. I was ok with that. I am driving a few feet away and my cell goes off. I was driving, so didn't answer. When I pull up to the front door, which is 3:50 pm (10 minutes early), the same person (can't understand her name, but both calls to change appt were from 208-241-8XXX left a voicemail that her current appointment was taking longer than she anticipated and if I could come in at 5pm. Are you serious???!! I almost called back, but was so ticked off, I just drove away. I couldn't believe it. If you are the owner, you should consider another line of work. Absolutely disappointing. I'd give ZERO stars if I could. read more

I hit the jackpot! I have lived in Austin for many years and the unthinkable happened; I ended up on the streets without a permanent hair stylist. It was as serious as if my doctor had retired. I tried here and I tried there, but I was accustomed to knowing the best because I once styled hair and I guess I'm more aware of the skill involved. Today I had my hair colored and cut by a young lady who put the others I had tried to shame! Her name is Chelo located at Salons By JC in South Austin. She magically made me a blonde by using the balayage technique and created a layered haircut similar to the picture I had been carrying around only better! I feel ten years younger and she put the pep in my step! She will be seeing me regularly! Her work is golden and so is she! read more

I was referred to Salon by JC across from Southpark Meadows shopping center by a co-worker and found the Salon to be very nice and clean, with beautiful decor and friendly management staff. From the moment I walked in, i was greeted with a warm welcome, provided a tour of the facility and directed to the location of my appointment. Since then I have returned and tried other services for hair and skin care and find them to be professional and skilled. I would recommend this Salon. read more

I bought a Groupon for a haircut and a brazilian blow out. I made the appt a couple of weeks in advance. Talked to her twice, the second time was to correct her on the wrong day/date combination. She said she had an appointment on the correct day and said she would fix it. I then tried to call and ask a pretty important question. There was no answer so I left a message. Upon not hearing back, I called again a several hours later and there was no answer. I called the morning of my appt and again there was no answer. I had a feeling something was going to go wrong with my appointment. I arrived at the door to not find the stylist. She was getting lunch. I waiting only a couple minutes which was the only good thing about this experience. When she finally arrived she didn't even introduce herself, let alone say hello. She asked me if I was there for a haircut and style. I said no I'm the one with the blow out and haircut. I told her my name and she tells me my appt was yesterday! Are you kidding me! We had talked about my appt twice. So I was apparently supposed to be there yesterday and she didn't even think to call me asking where I was or hey I dont know, confirm my appt? I left you a message woman talking about my appt the next day. She made a sorry excuse for an apology and said she couldn't do my hair. I eneded up getting a refund from Groupon. Thanks guys. So whatever you do do not go to kimberly at this company. Kimberly kimberly kimberly! Her last name is Pierce. Terribly disappointed in how this all went down since I was so excited about getting my hair done. Ugh read more

Brenda Cisneros was the worst experience I have ever had with a hairdresser. I had a decent first appointment and it was downhill from there. I scheduled my next appointment ONE MONTH IN ADVANCE. I received a text 4 days before my appointment to tell me she would be out of town that day and would I like to reschedule, but gave me no options on time or day. We rescheduled for 1:00 that Friday. At 12:59, she texted me to tell me she was across the street (I-35) trying to buy my hair color. Really?? You didn't think of buying it earlier that JUST BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT? The beauty supply did not have it, so we rescheduled AGAIN for the next day at 12:45, but she offered to come in on her day off (Monday) to make it up to me. At 9:35, I received a text asking if I could come in Tuesday. I texted her back and asked about Monday. When I did not hear from her, I canceled. VERY unprofessional behavior. She tried to blame it on the manager of the beauty supply and swore this had never happened before. I doubt it. She clearly does not know how to put the customer first. She should have had my color way before my appointment was scheduled and made mealy mouthed excuses. read more
