    Kristie F.

    Kristen's been doing my hair for a year, since she was recommend by a good friend. She's done a great job getting my hair back to blonde Street I dyed it brown a while back. She really is a color genius! I love her pretty little salon on the south side. It's pretty and comfortable and g the sound track is always great.

    Chelsea is absolutely amazing, so sweet and fun to work with. She totally put my bridal nerves to rest! Great experience I hope I have an excuse to come again soon, she even made time to do my mother's makeup as well. 10/10 would recommend this cute salon.

    my wedding day hair
    elizabeth e.

    Kristan was incredible to work with! This was a destination wedding, so I went to Sonar for a trial just a few days before the big day. Although I was having Kristan do only my hair on the actual day, on the day of the trial she did both my hair and makeup because I was having super-late-in-the-game engagement photos taken afterwards. She did such an amazing job! She was also super sweet and friendly, didn't seem put off at all by my awkward shyness like some people tend to be. :) On the morning of my wedding, she did my hair, my maid of honor's hair, as well as the hair of three other family members and a friend. I could not believe how fast she worked and with such amazing results on every one of us. She somehow made my just above shoulder length hair seem way more abundant than it actually is. AND it was still perfect by the time all of the festivities ended around 3am! Another thing, the salon was just the perfect atmosphere and vibe to start off my perfect day. It is super cute, especially the back room which Kristan so graciously allowed my makeup artist friend to take over that morning. She even offered us a bottle of bubbly she had in her fridge - exactly the thing I needed to ease my anxiety of being the center of attention for the day, ha! :) So yeah, I highly, highly recommend Kristan for your hair and makeup needs. I wish I lived anywhere near Austin so I could go to her regularly!

    Ombre re-done :)
    Robert M.

    I absolutely LOVE my hair! Kristen re-did an ombre I had done months before at another salon. The blonde is bright, the color flows evenly and the tone is perfect. My hair is naturally dark but Kristen really did magic on my hair to get the color exactly the way I wanted and extremely close to the picture I showed her. I will definitely be going back for touch ups and a cut. Btw....The salon is super cute and love the decor. Kristen was very sweet and really listened to what i wanted.. Satisfied and happy customer! :)

    Nope! Okay y'all! Don't do it! Worst annoying experience ever. I had the owner Kristen try to do my hair and I brought in my own take in extensions in and she left most of the blond out then made me buy another pack of Brown. Craziness! She calls todsy and says they hair they are not in supposedly on brown back order but I'm supposed to go tomorrow and dye my roots to blend it and go back again for tape more brown hair another day & 100$ hourly rate. Brown hair never on back order. She does not know ho layer hair just chop it off. Do not go there you will get taken advantage of and be juiced for money to keep going bsck. FYI. Color sucks. She left it all over and Burnt Scalp and ears. Now I'm Stuck w clip ins to cover her bad blending. Her greedy. She's nuts hope you enjoy the free 200$ for brown pack I never got!

    Kristan was the absolute best!! She arrived on time, got everyone done quickly and we all looked amazing! My bridal party didn't even have pictures for her to go off of. She just made it up all on the spot! Before the wedding day, I was really worried about the timeline and if she will have enough time but it all went fantastic! She told me not to worry too much and that she got it and yes she did! I'm so happy that we had her there to make our wedding day even better! Definitely recommend! :)

    Fresh color and style from Jeanette G at Sonar Beauty! Feeling radiant!

    Come visit Jeanette G here at this beautiful salon located just off of South Congress in the hip heart of Austin! This isn't just a bridal salon...Jeanette specializes in fun colors and edgy hairstyles! I love my current Rockabilly blonde and auburn red hair...but we have talked about putting in some rose gold or even Lilac...just for fun. Jeanette always listens to what I have to say and is very patient with my hard to tame tresses! She is conscientious and takes the time to ensure the best result. She is very professional and low key and I look forward to my next visit to her chair.

    This is right before Jeanette cut my hair!
    Rachel C.

    I have to say, I love this place. Don't let the name fool you, the stylists don't just do bridal stuff, they do cuts and dyes as well. I highly recommend Jeanette G. I've been trusting her with my hair for about 3 years now, and I actually followed her from another salon (She's that awesome)!

    Hanna lightened my hair for summer with a lighter red at the roots and blended highlights  into base color. Love, love, love it!

    Hanna saved this new mommas ratty hair! Since having my first child and wearing my hair up for 3 months I knew I needed a new do before I returned to work. I found her on Groupon and gave her a call needing to get in asap as I procrastinated getting my hair done. She gave a great consultation and took my too dark red hair and lightened it with a new root color and all over highlights. I couldn't be happier! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be returning!

    From a balayage to brunette.
    Maria Eugenia S.

    I had a balayage that I didn't quiet love. So I decided to become a brunette again. Brooke took such a good care of me. And she gives you great advices for your style. Definitely I'm loving my look right now.

    Foil-headed realness while processing to a killer salon soundtrack.
    Kelsey M.

    Kristan is an absolute hair color and cut goddess! I got her expertise recommended to me from not just 1, but two of my friends months ago that told me about how great she was and had been meaning to head in to Sonar Beauty for some time (overly grown out ombre = not the cutest). She was extremely welcoming and sweet, as well as hilarious and honest with me. She listened to my blonde-haired dreams and gave me the approach of full highlights or an all-over color and we decided on lots of foils and a cut, keeping my length while going blonder. She was so patient (and professional!) with my long lions-mane major hair, and you can see straight away that she is really passionate about what she does, her products, and making sure you absolutely LOVE how you look when you leave. If you've ever had a stylist cut your hair without chatter or questions or making sure you're comfortable, you know how frustrating that can be, but Kristan 'checks in' the whole time in between awesome conversation (about Beyonce, Austin's best happy hours, and our hilarious experiences with the Whole30 diet), making sure you love your length and what's happening to your locks! She actually teaches classes on coloring, so her expertise reputation is well-deserved and she will happily explain all sorts of color care, knowledge and steps to inquiring minds (like mine). Plus, homegirl got my hair so much brighter and blonder damage-free while keeping my length (!!!) which truly rules and is nearly unheard of for us blonde addicts. Seriously- go ahead and book with Sonar Beauty, and see the adorable little styling nook for yourself- but make sure you make plans for after your appointment, because you're definitely going to want to show off how amazing your hair looks.

I had no involvement in what was being said and no opportunity to correct it, which made the situation even more upsetting and unfair. I reached out directly to the salon and the owner to address this respectfully and provide clarity, hoping for a professional response. Despite multiple attempts, I received no reply. Ignoring a concern involving client privacy and misinformation shows a lack of accountability and professionalism. Clients should be able to trust that personal matters and conversations connected to a salon visit remain private and are not repeated or acted on without verification. That trust was broken here, and the complete lack of follow-up made the experience even more disappointing.

After many months of research, I found this beautiful salon and found Pedro. Pedro patiently took the time to discuss what I was looking for, along with realistic expectations, and performed the biggest transformation on me. Pedro is seriously a miracle worker and a true artist. I could not have found anyone better and am so thankful to have had such an amazing experience. If I could give 100 stars in this review I would. Pedro took my previous blonde that had brown dye over it, a band of red from base bumping, extremely dry ends, areas of new growth, and transformed my hair into a beautiful and healthy dimensional blonde. I don't know how Pedro pulled this off, but years of expertise, knowledge and experience, along with quick thinking, and love for the art was very obvious in the results I obtained from Pedro. I am over the moon and am so excited to have found this place, and to have found Pedro. If you're thinking of booking here or booking with Pedro, don't hesitate, just do it! You won't regret it. Thank you Pedro and thank you Dolce Salon for making all of my hair dreams come true!

    I booked the "Haircut - Luxury Experience" for my first visit and showed Ruby Perez three reference…read morephotos. I clearly requested a slanted, vertical side cut with the front length touching my chin, and suggested trimming only about 1 cm. What I left with was a nightmare--my hair chopped drastically short, front above my jawline, sides straight, and nothing like the photos. When I pointed this out, she casually said it would "look like the pictures in 8 weeks." I was shocked and humiliated. During the haircut, she even told me twice not to cross my legs--something I've never experienced at any salon. I asked to switch stylists, and was told I'd have to pay extra, even though the issue was not my fault. Ruby then claimed that because I agreed to a graduation in the back--which she suggested--she had to ignore my other requests. I cried in my car on the way home, devastated. $160+tax for a ruined haircut and a traumatizing experience. I can only hope no one else has to go through this. Without exaggeration, this was the worst salon experience of my life.

    After two good experiences with Jamie here I recently had a very negative experience I feel I…read moreshould share. I had an appt scheduled with Jamie on 09/10. I received a call around noon saying she went home sick and asking to reschedule me with Zeke at the same time. I agreed since things happen. No worries. I arrive to my appt and find I was moved around to another stylist Ruby. Not a huge deal but odd. Ruby was nice and welcoming but did jot down a great job with the cut. It was very uneven (pictured). I left the salon with a curl so it took a day to notice it was uneven. I call back on 09/13 asking for an adjustment. Lisa tells me to come in 09/17 and my original stylist Jamie will fix it (over a week after my initial haircut). I show up and they have no record of my appt or conversation with Lisa. They tell me Jamie is unavailable and I can wait for another stylist or come back another day. I opt to wait. The stylist was nice but slightly gaslighted me into telling me my hair wasn't that bad. As a final straw the parking validation did not work and I had to spend $13 to get my hair fixed after the original haircut $75 + $15 tip. I will not be returning.

I showed up with SUPER duper long grown out hair but she was meticulous and fast in getting me sat in the chair, layers cut for days, and even asked if I wanted to lighten up the thickness of my hair. It feels so healthy and refreshed since it's been some time I've sat down for a hair cut.

I trusted her opinion and went with more layers to give my hair some movement and I have to say I am beyond pleased. Not only is Hannah down-to-earth but her prices can't be beat also her private salon space is clean and tidy. If you are looking for an experienced hairstylist who listens to you and executes precisely then search no further than Hannah!
