Lys at Strange Bird is incredible! Great with short hair and texture. They really took the time to understand me, my hair type, and what would actually look good on me. Also took time to teach me how to maintain it to keep it looking good. I've been home for a minute and my husband has looked over at me several times and told me how great my haircut looks and how it matches my personality. I wanted a curtain bang to add to the bob I already had but I wanted it to be chunky cuts with layers of some sort and didn't really know how to describe it. They took it from there and nailed it better than I could have imagined. Gave me tons of texture for my partially curly/wavy/straight hair that really works for me. This is literally the coolest haircut I've ever had. Highly recommend Lys! read more

I had the pleasure of being a hair model for Ashley this week. The salon is located in East Austin amongst shops and cafés. The vibe of the salon is so cute and open and airy. Very nice modern decor and an overall inviting feel. The staff were very friendly and my haircut turned out great! read more

Ashley has cut my hair a couple times and each time has done an excellent job. This salon has a great vibe. The decor is stylish and hip, the chairs are comfortable, and all the staff are friendly. read more

Kasey was amazing! Kasey cut my boyfriend's hair and it looks perfect! Exactly what he asked and his hair looks so much healthier as well. She is extremely kind and fun to speak to as well. Definitely recommend Kasey! The space is beautiful and welcoming as well read more

Went back to SB for another bob cut - this time with Elise. Again, just a wonderful experience start to finish. Elise took time to explain her vision and listen to mine. The salon itself is so welcoming - everyone there is just an amazing individual and the cuts are top notch. If you are someone who is looking for cutting specialists, especially if you have wavy or curly hair, SB is the spot! read more

I originally found Breezy at Scruffs Barbershop on South 1st and liked her so much I followed her to Strange Bird Salon. After checking out her Instagram, I really dug the cuts she was putting out and her overall vibe. I was daring to try a burst fade mullet (even at 51) - and she absolutely delivered! Breezy's awesome. She's easy to talk to, empathetic, and really listens to her clients. She brings superb professionalism to each visit. The fact that she teaches other stylists tells you everything about how good she is and how much she cares about her craft. But seriously - if that's not enough for you, go for her shampoo and scalp massage alone. It's INCREDIBLE. At Strange Bird the shampoo station is like a little spa with ambient chill music and the whole vibe is so relaxing. Simply put, Breezy just gets it. Can't recommend her enough! read more

Elise is a magic worker. They continuously give me the haircut of my dreams. I've been going to them for years and always leave their chair THRILLED with their work!! Thank you Elise. Keep up the good work! read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I booked an appointment and had to cancel just 45 minutes later due to a work conflict. Instead of understanding, the salon is charging me 50% of the haircut cost--$180--for an appointment I never even had the chance to sit down for. When I called to explain, the manager was condescending and completely unhelpful. I politely asked if they could make an exception since I had only booked less than an hour earlier, but she flat-out refused. Extremely disappointing experience and terrible customer service. read more

If you're in the ATX area, I highly recommend Annika all the way for your hair needs. I've been cutting my hair with her for a good while now and she never disappoints and is very friendly/caring. Seriously the best hairstylist I've come across! Strange Bird itself is also a great atmosphere with friendly staff and customers! read more

Kascidy - aka "funkeecuts " is phenomenal. I was able to DM her on instagram with a few questions about what I wanted/needed, and get in the following week for a cut. She gave me my dream hair! Now, about a month later (my hair grows so fast) I was able to DM her last night at 6 P.M. needing a bang trim / touch up, and she got me in at 2:00 P.M. today to fix it up, and it only took about a half hour. She is truly a gem and I will be with her for life! The place itself is very cute, everyone is stylish and sweet and they always welcome you + ask you if you want a beverage upon entry. 10/10 would recommend, she is an angel and the whole place gives the safest and kindest vibe. read more

Breezy provides great cuts at competitive prices! Such a chill place as well. I would highly recommend this place.

Elise gave me the best haircut I've ever had, I literally go back to look at the picture i took the day I got it all the time. The salon space is cute and clean. All the products smell amazing as well :) read more

Breezy is the kind of stylist everyone hopes to find. She brings incredible attention to detail, listens closely to what you're looking for, and consistently delivers clean, thoughtful cuts. I've seen her work magic with both men's and women's styles. She's truly versatile and skilled across the board. On top of that, she creates a comfortable, welcoming environment that makes every appointment feel like a break from the day. Breezy is the real deal, and I'd recommend her to absolutely anyone. read more

Sam was incredibly informative and polite! She is a genuine people person with your experience as the top priority! Gave me a heck of a shag cut, thank you Sam! read more

I always liked the rocker style type haircut you know the very choppy/short layered/ messy look It was always so hard to find the right stylist to be able to achieve that look until now I finally found the place I was looking for! My stylist was Annika and she delivered exactly what wanted I'm so happy I found this place! read more

Brielle Collings has an eye for the right way to cut hair, I had been just getting a basic hair cut before but the way she cut mine was a huge improvement over my former generic hair cuts. People noticed the improvement!. read more

Lys!!!! I got the best haircut of my life last week from Lys. Lys is really precise, a good listener and managed to coax beautiful, face-framing layers and abundant curls out of my wavy mess of hair. Love. read more

This is my happy place. As soon as you walk in you are met with beauty, happiness and relaxation. They only cut and use natural products so there are no harsh chemical product smalls. The space is full of plants and sunshine and you feel so grounded. Graysan is a magician and an angel. My hair has never been better. She always knows the exact right amount to trim to keep it long but also healthy. She shapes it beautifully without layering or thinning and gives the exact right texture around my face. I love our chats during the service and I always look forward to seeing her. read more

Lo Shabino (owner, inventor, Lead Stylist) is an artist - that means everything from the moment you open the door is thoughtfully selected, from the peaceful decor, to the eco-friendly products, and the compassionate stylists providing customized services. You could bring a photo of the latest trendy style you want to emulate and they will follow your inspo but make it *just right* for your face and hair texture. This is what "cutting specialist" means, and you'll pay for it, but I promise it's worth it. My hair (although heavily processed) is the longest and healthiest it's ever been, in the most flattering shape it's ever been, irrespective of trends. What's more, is I love spending time with my stylist, who checks in with me each visit (even for bang trims!) to make sure our expectations align. A very special place, East or Central location! read more
