I finally found the place - and the person I trust with my hair. Tim Patrick is amazing - professional yet friendly, focused yet patient, listens to you but also guides you to what will actually work the best. I found Tim through another Instagram influencer whom I trust to be quite real and that was my own experience as well. I am very happy with my haircut, which was a bit of an adventure for me to cut off 12 inches, but enjoying it even after subsequent washes. Tim could assess I wanted something low maintenance that looks good naturally with minimal effort. And he certainly delivered on that commitment. Don't get intimated by the pricing on the website because they also have a renowned spot in LA. Austin pricing was fair for a high-quality stylist who has knowledge, skill and experience. And thankfully, focused on charging for the haircut and not this new ridiculous model of charging-for-time and each add-on. Parking is a bit challenging in this area so leave some extra time for that. And give the side streets a try. read more

Spoke & Weal - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Gavin is the absolute best colorist there is! I first had him color and cut my hair last year and was blown away by how seamlessly he blended the pieces. Since then, he has moved to Spoke and Weal. While he no longer cuts hair, his teammate Tim takes over that part and is equally amazing, being meticulous with his cuts to ensure your satisfaction throughout the process. Gavin is excellent at informing you throughout the process and making recommendations. I was initially confused about what I wanted, torn between an ashy and a warm tone, which are complete opposites. Gavin thoroughly talked through the differences with me based on my inspiration photos to get a better idea of what I was looking for. This time, we opted for an ashy bronde balayage, and I am obsessed with the result. I highly recommend working with Gavin if you get the chance. I've already recommended him to friends, who are always satisfied with his work! read more

It was my first time at Spoke & Weal and the second I went in, I immediately loved the culture, energy, and overall atmosphere of the salon. I also had one of my favorite cuts ever from Noelle!! She took the time and energy to make my vision come to life. She was patient in making this happen (i have a lot of hair) and took the time to get every detail right. She is truly a natural and is so great at her job. During our cut, she even took the time to get to know me and it made our time together even more fun and intentional!! She's one of the best stylists I've ever met and I can't wait to go back! read more

TLDR: - talented / experienced hair colorist - beautiful / clean space - free + easy parking I AM BEYOND IMPRESSED. Spoke & Weal recently opened up downtown next to Nate's Baked Goods and I was so excited to try it out. I received a custom hair coloring service by Katelyn and she was such a doll! Her and her partner moved to Austin this past year from Los Angeles, where they were doing hair prior at another Spoke & Weal. She has five years of experience under her belt and this is one of the best hair color services I've received since living in Austin. She 100% nailed my "inspo pic", was easy to make small talk with, and genuinely seemed to love her work. Will be coming back again for sure! As for the space itself - they are still working on a few projects here and there since they just opened up a month or two ago. However, it is spotless, modern, and well-decorated. The mirrors have incredible lighting as well. read more

Spoke & Weal - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Deeann saved my hair! It had been almost a year since I'd had a trim because I hadn't really liked any of the stylists that I tried in Austin since I moved here in 2020. I had let my hair run wild all summer. Lots of sun, sweat, chlorine, and lake water and very little conditioning or care. The result was a long tangled mess with horrible dead ends. Deeann did a thorough consultation with me to figure out what I wanted before shampooing, conditioning, and blow drying my hair. She did a dry cut which I've always preferred over wet cuts because it's more precise. She was able to chop all of the damaged ends off while still saving a lot of length. She expertly cut long layers to give my stick-straight hair some movement and texture. She also blended in the curtain bangs that I had cut myself with my kitchen scissors while bored one day. She styled and curled my hair in perfect loose waves afterwards (I asked for early 2000s Victoria's Secret model hair). I'm absolutely in love with the result and my hair is so much softer, shinier, and healthier looking! I can't stop touching it now and the maintenance is much easier. Deeann is a new stylist to the Austin area (and to Spoke and Weal) but she has many years of experience cutting hair! She's a true hair professional who is also so sweet, personable, and easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable and confident sitting in her chair. While I was there Tim was also chatting with Deeann about the techniques they use at Spoke and Weal and it's clearly evident that he's an expert in his field. It was fascinating to listen to him explain how they do things the Spoke and Weal way and how detail oriented they are. For example, since I have dark hair they put me in a white cape instead of a black one so there was higher contrast and they could see what they were cutting more clearly. I recommended Deeann and Spoke and Weal to all of my friends! I'm so happy I found the studio. It's my new go-to salon in Austin after years of feeling like I hadn't clicked with any stylists. The before and after photos speak for themselves! read more

Best blonde-ing I've found in Austin. Katelyn is a hair wizard who will make your dreams come true!

Tim Patrick has cut my hair for years. He's always been an incredibly talented stylist and an amazingly kind human being with a heart to give you the best at all times. And he just continues to up his game! One of the things that I love about him is that he's always training and learning from the best of the best...which is what Tim truly is, THE best of the best! Austin is so insanely blessed to have him and I'm in love with my hair because of him. The salon has a cool modern vibe, and the selection of high quality products is fantastic! I've always been an Aveda girl (which the salon carries)...and I still am, but Tim recently introduced me to the K18 products and they're transforming my hair. Everyone at the salon is incredibly friendly and helpful. You're going to love it there, and you'll no doubt adore Tim! read more

I had *the best* experience at Spoke & Weal today. Brandon greeted me and welcomed me in with so much warmth and professionalism, I immediately felt at home. The space is fresh, clean and new. I've heard about this salon group for years and cannot express how elated I am to have them here in Austin and for my experience to be so fantastic! Tim, one of the stylists, introduced himself when he came in and we got to talking about a number of things, which was an absolute delight. Same goes for Katelyn, my incredible colorist, who was so easy to work with and absolutely NAILED the assignment! From start to finish, this was the most wonderful salon experience I've ever had. The services are worth every penny, I cannot overstate how good it feels to have so much trust in these stylists/this salon as a whole. Cannot recommend it enough!! read more

I recently visited Spoke & Weal for a haircut and I couldn't be happier with the results. DeeAnn did an exceptional job listening to what I wanted and delivering exactly that.

I have curly hair and I got an amazing haircut from Deeann. She has 18 years of experience and I felt so lucky to be with a seasoned stylist. She listened carefully while I explained what I wanted and asked great questions. It was such a great experience because she washed, blow dried, straightened and then cut my hair. After she cut it she put in this amazing smelling product and curled my hair to give it volume. My hair never had looked that shiny in my life! I would definitely recommend her services to anyone and I can't wait to come back! read more

After a few disappointing hair experiences in Austin, I finally found someone I can trust--Katelyn! She's excellent with color and truly listens to your needs before starting. Working with her is a breeze. Thank you, Katelyn! read more

I am the queen of the messy top bun and my hair hasn't had much love in over a year. My long time stylist moved and it has been a journey to find a replacement. Deeann to the rescue! I don't always love sitting in the chair, but i enjoyed getting to know Deeann. Better yet, I LOVE my hair. I normally have to go home and play with it a bit after getting it done, but I left the salon feeling ready to hit the town. I have recommeded her to many friends already and will continue to do so. Book with her! read more

Irene is amazing! I've been getting my haircut by Irene for close to a decade and it was a happy accident that we moved to Austin around the same time. She is so considerate about how much you actually want cut and really takes the time to perfect the haircut. I will never get my haircut by anyone else! read more

I recently had my haircut by the incredibly talented, Tim Patrick. Now, I've had a lot of haircuts in my day. Some bad, some good, but Tim Patrick is on a whole other level. I have never before had a haircut that I was so immediately happy with. (You know that typical wait a few days before you're used to your haircut.) I gave Tim a few reference photos and he gave almost exactly what I wanted. I say almost because what this man did to my hair was even better that I imagined. It's like he knew exactly the look I was going for and made it perfectly suited for me. I couldn't recommend Tim enough. If you like having nice hair he is the man for you. 10/10 would and do recommend. read more

Irene is the best!! After moving to Austin in 2019, I could not find a hairstylist that I liked. I probably went to at least five different salons. One I had to wait five months to get a haircut...and I still didn't like it. My search finally ended with Irene. Not only did a she gave me an amazing cut, she's cool! read more

Katelyn and Tim are experts at their craft! I have always wanted a natural look to my color, but never felt like it ever came out quite right until Katelyn, she is so so talented, and such a sweet person. As far as cuts go, I usually just add them on to my usual color, but I truly had no idea how much better a haircut could be. I always felt like my hair was thin, but realize now that it was just the way that it was cut. I could not recommend them more! So glad they decided to bring their art to Austin! read more

Tim Patrick is a true expert in his field. Tim, an excellent listener, delivered exactly my request while educating me every step of the way. I will absolutely be back. read more

Tim Patrick is magic. First of all, he really cares about his craft and it shows in his attention to detail and consultation process. During the consultation, he took the time to understand what I wanted and then explained how he would offer me that based on my specific hair type and the season we are in. I love how Tim made me feel cared for through the whole process- because it's not easy to just trust someone with your hair. He then washed and blow dried my hair to cut it dry, which I like so much better. You actually get to see what your hair will look like as you go- no shocking short length once it's dried and styled. Also, I have never had anyone ask me to stand while cutting my hair! As he was taking the length off, he had me stand while in front of him. Once he explained why, because we're not always sitting when people see our hair, it made sense and I was like, "why doesn't everyone do this"? Overall- he's talented and has a knack for being able to translate what you want into your hair cut. He delivered my hair style I wanted without compromising his integrity. I loved every moment of it. Finding a good hair stylist is like finding the perfect pair of jeans- you never want to let go of them! Glad I found Tim! Pay the money, your hair is one of your best accessories- and he's so worth it! read more
