Audra was amazing, we came in Thursday 10/16 after 6pm; after letting Audra know this would be my son 2nd time using clippers, she was gentle and kind. You are amazing and wonderful.
Online check in was a breeze, enough parking and the salon was clean.

Just got my hair cut by a gal named Madison. They were very courteous and took the time to explain to me why my hair does what it does, something about a cow lick. They were very gentle (not knocking my head around during the process) and got me looking much better than what I did when I walked in. They even took the time to answer my question about how to pronounce “pomade” (?). 10/10 or five out of five stars. Ask for Madison.

DO NOT bother with this location. They will give you a bad haircut and bad service. If you’re looking for a cheap haircut there are many other places in Austin you should look instead.
