I've never been 100% happy with my cut/color/style when I've visited other salons. I've underpaid, overpaid, and paid for the right price...but my long brunette locks have always ended up just looking meh, until I was recommended to Michella at The Werx! I live in central Austin and for the past 3 years, I have been driving to Taylor (30 mins each way) every time I need my hair done because Michella is that good and her prices are UNBEATABLE. I believe she's had over 20 years of experience and has worked in bigger, more expensive salons, but she says that her clientele is so high at this tiny little salon that she can get away with charging people LESS and still end up with more profits than upscale salons! Every salon should take advice from Michella if they want to be successful and hold true a good business name like The Werx. It's exactly how you'd picture a small town salon. Tiny, a bit run down, friends and family of the stylists coming in and out just to say hi, bring them lunch, or sit and gossip about girly stuff, ect. Don't expect to be pampered at The Werx, you're there to get your hair done only, and at a fantastic price. So if you leave pissed off that you didn't have some fake bimbo stylist buttering you up with compliments the whole time or massaging your head for you before your cut, then don't say I didn't warn you because this isn't that type of salon. I've been going to Michella for over 3 years now. I have very long, thick hair and have never walked out paying more than $150 for a cut, full head of highlights (3 colors), blow-dry, and style. Someone PLEASE show me a good stylist that can beat that! Not to mention she actually understands what "natural looking highlights are" and never leaves me with a zebra head. Michella is friendly, beautiful (she looks SO young for her age) and she'll talk to you like a normal human being. I've recommended a couple friends to her that used to regularly pay over $250 at other salons, and they've all left extremely happy with Michella. Give her a shot, and make sure you tip her well. She's worth it! read more

Michella always does an excellent job with hair. From coloring, high-lights, cut, and style, She has you covered . The atmosphere is great, she always has a smile and a laugh for you . Michelle's shop is setup downtown in Taylor . read more

My curly cut turned out lop-sided. She seemed unsure of where to cut to get it to match the photo I provided. The only redeeming factor was she was great on colour. I might return for dying only due to low rates, but not for a haircut. read more

Love my hair cuts. Michella always asks questions before she starts and I feel confident that she is listening to what I want and has my best interests at heart. So happy I found her. read more

I walked in, told Michella I wanted it just like I had it except shorter. She asked a few questions and set to work. I ended up with a great style for a lot less than I would pay in Austin. I already have a second appointment. read more

My mom loved this place. She had been going for years and Michella always made my mom happy with a beautiful hair color and cut

I happened to be in the area when I just couldn't stand my split ends anymore. I came across this place on Yelp and since Michella got such a good review I decided to give her a shot. She did not disappoint! It's crazy to me there are so many stylists out there charging more than twice what Michella charges that either don't know what they are doing or just don't listen. I have made and will continue to make the trip for future haircuts. read more

I've been going to Michella for a year and a half now to have my hair cut and colored and love her so much. Her work is wonderful, I'm constantly getting compliments! Her prices are more than fair as well. One of the first things I picked up on when I started coming to Michella is how loyal her customers are- they travel from all over the area out to Taylor just to see her and have been coming to her for years. It isn't a bright and shiny big city shop- rather this is definitely a small town place where people stop by regularly to chat even when they don't need anything done to their hair. I love my visits here almost as much as I love the magic she works with my hair! read more

I have been going to Michella since about 1992 or so and I have followed her to every salon she's ever worked at not only because she is that good but because she is such an amazing person, so kind and so personable! I live in NW Austin and my husband and I, yes, I said my husband and I, make an appointment and drive to Taylor together to get our hair cut! My husband cracks me up because he absolutely loves to go to the classic small town, people friendly salon and he always says he loves to go and catch up on the gossip! HA! Aside from the fact that Michella's prices are great, and she is awesome, she does great haircuts for me and my husband both! read more
