Updating because I still love Shea! when I come in, she's 100% focused on me. that sounds like a no brainer, but hey. Recently I asked her for something impossible. I could tell she was a bit hesitant but she forged ahead and I freaking love my hair. it's EASY but stylish. She's the GOAT. And I love the new place. having our own private room is so relaxing! read more

I have seen Shea for years now. Shea recently moved to another location which is a little further for me since I live north/central. The location sits inside a strip mall and plenty of parking. What's great is there is plenty of places to shop and eat before or after. Shea of course can cut and color my hair beautifully. I always walk away feeling like a million bucks. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by the talented and lovely Shea McJagger for seven years. She never fails to deliver and provides to me exactly what I want. From the first moment I sat in her chair, she exuded a calm and confident demeanor, putting me at ease immediately. Her attention to detail was evident in every snip of the scissors and every stroke of the comb. I've been fortunate enough to have had my haircut by some of the best in the world, and I feel confident to say I put her in the same realm. Shea's passion for her craft is palpable, and it's clear that she truly cares about her clients' satisfaction. Overall, I highly recommend Shea, she will give you a cut that frames your face and make you feel like a million bucks! P.S. her new location is south, park near World Market. read more

Shea is masterful, an artist, that loves what she does. She cuts my hair so artfully and thoughtfully, she understands how it will grow, how I like to style it, so that I feel as incredible about my hair when I leave the salon as I do four months later. It is as though I love my hair more and more each day after - this is what I mean by artist, a true master of her craft. The color she does on my hair has such incredible dimension and it lasts so beautifully. I feel all the energy and love that Shea puts into her work and my hair is proof. read more

Absolutely obsessed with the haircuts Shea has done on me! Very relaxed discussion each time to figure out what I'm looking for/what will actually work with my hair. Appreciate the realness and the professionalism :) Highly recommend read more

I LOVE Shea and have been with her for over 8 years! I'd follow her anywhere. I highly recommend her as she is fantastic with color, cut, and product recommendations. She's also an amazing and lovely person!! read more

This review is long overdue! Shea is absolutely amazing at her trade, you can tell this is her art. From the very first time I had my hair styled and cut by Shea, she nailed my vision. On my last visit I went in not knowing exactly what I wanted (which is not like me) but I trusted she would know how to find the "feeling" I was looking for... and of course, I absolutely love it. Aside from her badass stylist skills, she is a beautiful person with a lovely space. My experience is always relaxing and I leave feeling really good. I'm so glad I found her! PS She's a boss at both short and long hairstyles. read more

Please go experience Shea!!! I recently got my hair cut and want to go get it cut again just because it was so fun!! I waited a few days to write this review because I wanted to make sure I was loving it as much as I expected. My expectations are exceeded. I've always wanted to just walk into a salon, have full trust in my stylist and say "make me pretty!" I explained how I lost my hair after giving birth. I explained how I wanted life to my hair, style while it grows out of the awkward stage, and something low maintenance because I am very busy with a toddler. Shea looked at me, knew exactly what my hair needed and finished with a lesson on how to style it and to "let my hair do the work". Y'all!! I am telling you I have NEVER experienced such a great haircut. Blowdrying my hair takes literally less than 15 minutes and I have fun doing it. It has never looked so full in my life. She somehow cut it so that it thins my face! Shea has a history of teaching in NYC, but some people just have that special touch and eye and know what to do. Shea is that person WITH a great background! She is literally my dream stylist. Enough about the haircut that I am obsessed with... we got to work in a private room, she has her sweet sweet dog and some bomb ass music! She is also basically a therapist as well haha. The experience all around is a 10/10. If you're debating where to go for a haircut, I hope this review has you sold. I get multiple compliments a day on my hair. Shea is unique, trustworthy, talented, fun and everything I hoped I would find in a stylist with great pricing! I could go on and on but just go experience for yourself. I cannot give enough "Thank you's" to Salon Sovay! read more

Shea is the reason I have resurrected my Yelp account and installed the app on my phone. I've never been great at leaving reviews. But the world needs to know about Shea. I've been seeing her for about 5 years... I think. I've never hated my hair in the past 5 years, so the math adds up. I have annoying hair. Shea will say that everyone's hair has its own unique patterns. That sounds a lot nicer. My hair isn't straight, but it's not really wavy. It's fine, but has a bristly streak. It's thin-ish, but there's a lot of it in places. Like right over my ears. It drives me nuts. My hair is also extreeeeeemely important to me, and Shea gets that. She knows how to cut my problem spots so they play nicely with my more chill spots. She's like a chemist in a lab when she works. She knows the volatile vs nonvolatile compounds on everyone's head and ensures nothing explodes, unless it's your ego when you leave her studio looking fine AF. Because you will. I've taken the biggest hair risks of my life with Shea. Did I mention how important my hair is to me? Do the words "platinum pixie cut" sound bold and slightly terrifying to you? I went there with Shea. Some of the most dazzling style I've ever rocked. People are always asking me who does my hair, I tell them, and hope they call. I don't know if they do. So I'm leaving this here, hoping that you will read it and call too. At my first appointment, Shea told me that my hair is actually HER hair and I just get to wear it. With that kind of confidence, I was hooked. She delivered. Let your hair be Shea's hair. Non-hair related things that make Shea special: She's incredibly interesting. She can magically sense if you're feeling chatty or withdrawn and will vibe accordingly. She is a dog person. She plays great music in her studio. She lives fully and loves her craft. TL;DR Call Shea if you love looking good, like, all the time. She'll make it happen. read more

Shea is a Godsend. She cares very much not only about high standards in the craft of her profession but about the people whom sit in her chair. It is important to her that her clients feel great with the service she offers them and that they get even better results than what they expected. I experienced her care, patience, attention to detail and my hair has definitely benefited from her long term experience. She is brilliant at what she does and she indeed cares to and goes above and beyond to do an excellent job. read more

Shea McJagger Kicks hair ass! Honestly, moving from CA to TX has been a struggle for hair.. yeah.. I said it. I'm not proud, but I needed someone who understood different hair styles. I have local friends who work at nice salons - but Shea is the only one who understands the look I'm going for and makes it happen! I would like to say it's an all-around amazing experience... but sometimes you are forced to listen to The Eagles. Sooo.... everything else is great! read more

So I can be a bit difficult as the first time I'm in your chair I don't talk. I just don't. I sit there and watch, mainly because I'm nervous what is going to happen to my head. You'd never know it but I'm actually shy. It takes a good six months to break the ice, but she's just took her time acted like it was the most normal thing in the world and let me work it out with me trusting her. It's been three years now I think? And I can't shut up! Lol she's amazing and you simply can't go wrong. She'll tell you the truth and you'll be all the better for it. Every time I leave and go back to work, it's non stop compliments about my hair. I'll follow her anywhere. Thanks Shea! read more

In my view Shea is an expert in her field. She knows hair....taught at Aveda for a long time and goes to events to stay on top of everything in the world of hair. Another great thing about Shea is how she is so into it....I enjoy getting my haircut by her because she is so enjoying stying it. Plus, she is such a nice person....a really good person. I highly recommend her. BTW it is best to text her. read more

I've been seeing Shea since oh, 1996 or so? A really long time. I've followed her wherever she had her chair. She's the only hairdresser who's ever really gotten me and my hair. Now we are at a point where I show up and she tells me what I want, and I know whatever she says is going to be great. She's intuitive, creative, smart, caring, and a freaking wizard genius with color. I have fine but curly hair and she always gives me the best cuts, no matter short or long or in between. (She's the go-to curly hair master). I've had every length and every shade of red and brunette and she always makes me look great. She's also honest and won't let me do some stuff because she KNOWS what will work. I love her and she's just the bomb. The Utter. Total. Bomb. Don't believe me? She's trained half the hairdressers in Austin. This girl KNOWS what she is doing. read more

Updated review: Yelp steered me here, thanks Shannon B.!, and it steered me in the right direction. I've been seeing Shea McJagger for over two years now, and I'm a devotee! I got a pretty drastic hair cut the first time (about 6 inches off), and I have zero regrets. It lays nicely and is so much easier to style than I am used to. This lady knows her stuff about hair. She is an artist, not just a stylist. No wonder she books up pretty far in advance, in my experience it took 3-4 weeks to get in as a new client. She was super responsive via text leading up to my appointment. Over time I've learned to prebook my next appointment when I'm there, so I never have to worry about getting in. This is not a cheap haircut, but it's worth every penny. Fab-u-lous lady, fabulous hair! read more

Being a client of Shea's has been like hitting the hair stylist jackpot!! She gets it perfect every single time! My hair is very fine, thin and I wear it in a bob. One wrong cut will definitely show. Her business should be called "Trust" because you can!!! Shea is the very best! read more

Shea is fantastic in so many ways. Easy to make appts via text. Great at listening to what you want and executing accordingly. magnificent!

Love what this woman does with my hair! I've been going to Shea for a couple years now and I know I can trust her. Her cut and colors last me months which this mama really appreciates! Dreading the day I have to start the search over again. Please never stop doing what you do best Shea!! read more

Shea is among the best. She cuts and colors my hair to perfection. With curly hair, it is difficult to find someone who can cut and style it. Many say they can but do a terrible job. Shea has been cutting my hair many years and she is truly an artist with hair. read more

Shea is ahhhhmazing. First off, I googled "best salons in south austin," and salon sovay was one of the first to pop up. I checked out each stylists' bio, and Shea had a great story and years of experience, so I went with her. I was not disappointed. I got there and told her I had a vision for my hair, and pulled up about 20 pics of the hairstyle I wanted. She nodded and understood, then immediately said she wanted to look at each one with me to see what I liked and didn't like about them all. I mean, come on, that's what you want in a hair stylist!! I basically got the short Miley Cyrus haircut-an undercut all the way around my head with the pixie on top. She didn't use an electric razor to shave my head, instead she used scissors and a thinning or texturing razor, which I liked better than the electric. She was personable, didn't bs around, and truly excited about the hair style, and really seemed to love her work. She was super attentive to the way my hair grows, and the smallest details of the cut. She would often stop and check out the progress, asked if I liked it and so on. She truly customized the look I wanted to compliment my face and hair texture. I love her and have found my stylist for life! read more

Shea does an excellent job cutting my hair, which can look like a lampshade if not done properly. Plus, she's a good conversationalist. I highly recommend her. It looks like she has many other satisfied customers as well. read more

Let me just start by saying that Shea McJagger is exactly what you're looking for. I've come to her twice now and each time I leave I am ecstatic about my hair. She turned my orange hair (a mistake made by a previous stylist) to the most beautiful shade of blonde. She knew exactly what to do with me when I (seriously) felt like there was no hope for my hair. I really can't get over how gorgeous it is now! She has by far been my favorite hair stylist in all of Austin, and after living here my whole life, trust me when I tell you to give her a try! Thank you again Shea!!!! read more

So I got my haircut with Shea a few days ago, right before travel....and oh my goodness! Shea is a badass, hair queen! Perfect cut for easy maintenance. Like a good musician knows how to shred on say guitar, Shea knows how to shred some locks in the best way possible! Thanks again Shea! read more

Shea is amazing. The best stylist I have had...ever. Salon Sovay is not close to me (at all), and I would definitely commute even farther to have this spectacular stylist. Thank you Shea!!! P.S. You have to book her ahead of time. All of us clients love her and book early. :) read more

Love me some Shea McJagger! On my first visit, she took my botched hair cut and made it beautiful. She is a master of hair and takes the time to make sure it's exactly as it should be. Plus, she's a really good soul and easy to be around. read more

Shae has that magic of knowing what works the best for your hair. And on top of that she is such an awesome person! I recommend her to anyone that needs a professional hair stylist. read more

I seriously LOVE this woman. (And I mean that in a,OMG she does amazing things to hair sort-of-way) No lesbo stuff here. (Not that I'm against that) Anyway, 2nd experience with Shea, and still as amazing as always & even made sure to write down all the specifics of my first color since it was perfection in a bottle. There was a small misunderstanding with scheduling & I somehow got lost in her schedule...BUT she sincerely apologized, got me in the NEXT WEEK, texted me when something even EARLIER came open, & did an Olaplex treatment for FREE??!! If you don't know about OLAPLEX, I suggest you find out...SOON! HELLOO...any one who gives a shiz about their hair needs to get to this woman fast. But do it ASAP bc her schedule gets full & forget about getting her on a weekend! (damn us 8-5ers) but she does 5:30 appt.'s too, so if I haul a&& to her after work, I can make it, and c'mon shes totally worth it. I have plans to win the lotto and hire her as my personal stylist & tour guide. (apparently she's been to quite a few awesome places in & out of the country) read more

Shae was awesome! I gave her full liberty because I wasn't sure what I wanted and she did phenomenally! She listened and provided feedback based on my routine! I'm really bad about getting frequent haircuts and need to go see her again!!! read more

Creativity, vision and seriously honed technical skills are a few of the characteristics and abilities that make time in Shea McJagger's chair an exceptional and joyful experience. She has transformed my dull, damaged, and oh-so-wrong rodeo queen brassy locks into a flowing blend of caramel, coffee and "bronde" high and low lights. Coupled with a sassy sexy cut that compliments my facial structure and my hair's texture, I was amazed at how dead sexy I looked! I'm not exaggerating when I say I received at least 20 compliments from co-workers, passing acquaintances and complete strangers the following day. Shea is a gracious, talented professional who listens to and appreciates her clients. It's evident she's committed to making her clients look amazing and feel like they can rock their world like a superstar! Artist, Agent of Positive Change and a truly delightful person - yes, yes she is! Give yourself a gift - go see Shea McJagger. read more
