Shag Salon

"Curly girlies know it’s hard to find a good stylist. Taylor is the only one who has ever made me feel like a million bucks—twice now (and I’ve visited a LOT of salons in several cities). She is friendly and strikes the perfect balance between doing what you ask and what is best/healthiest for your hair. Overall, prices are reasonable and transparent, everyone is kind, and it’s easy to book online. Parking situation is not ideal, so I always book for 10am when they first open."

"Love it, love it, love it here! Ladies with short hair: this is your place to go! I'm visiting from out of town and was desperate for a cut. I'm always travelling, so it's usually a miss more than a hit when it comes to blind gambling on someone who says they can cut short hair. (Yay hats). I actually just spotted this place driving by in the night to a BBQ place for dinner and took a mental note and called the next morning. I asked if they had anyone who specializes in women's short hair and I was referred to Kelly, who is a master stylist. They were up front about the price, and I booked it. Sadly she fell ill (hope she's better now!) and I was recommended to go with Beau next. I wasn't going to say no because I really was desperate. SO glad I went! What a wonderful person and amazing stylist! I told him what I was looking for, but gave him free reign to just make it sexy, fun, and flattering. He nailed it. And he's so much fun to talk to! I might have to consider swinging by Austin more often just to get my hair cut here again. I'd like to maybe book with Kelly next though, because she seemed super cool over the phone. Thank you Shag Salon for a great experience!"

"Abel Reyes!!! I've been seeing him for a year and a half and won't be switching stylists until he retires or moves out of the city. With over 17 years of experience (and a growing list of certs + qualifications), he has NEVER done me wrong. I'll let the blend pictured below speak for itself; but he slays the cut, color, and blowout every single time (and does hair extensions too!)."

"Wow…. Just wow Abel is truly a master at his craft. I walked into this salon on a last minute appointment with a blotched highlight job (second photo) and a heavy heart. By the end of my appointment I was in a fantastic mood and had a color I couldn’t even imagine possible from what I walked in with (first photo). I can’t put into words how fantastic my hair looks and I’m so glad to have found a main stylist in Austin."

"Beau and Abel are awesome hair stylists. They've both cut my hair on different occasions. I loved my cut both times. I showed them a picture of the style that I liked and they cut my hair nicely. They have kind personalities and are fun to talk to. I recommend both. The salon is well-appointed. The staff is polite. Everyone is professional but casual. They use Oribe hair products which smell terrific. The shampoo with massage is wonderful. Their styles did all the "heavy lifting." I use a blow dryer, small round brush and a little product for 5 minutes and I'm on my way!"
