Where is the Best Nail Salon in Austin, Texas?
Kim Tolbert has been my hair stylist for 9 years. I visit her for foil highlights and lowlights for my blonde hair. I have never gotten a bad haircut or style from her. She is a highly skilled stylist who keeps up to date with the latest trends in her field. The owner of Salon Presly, Michael, runs a great salon. He has been open for over a year and owns this quaint ,little shop in a safe, downtown, Austin neighborhood. I like going here…it is a low stress, eclectic little salon , and the owner takes great pride and cares about every customer who walks in the door. The shop is easy to find and offers a free parking lot in the back. All in all it is a great experience from the time you walk in the door until you leave. That’s why I keep going back again and again! I highly recommend Salon Presly. Pros + Friendly, comfortable , low key, professional environmentCons – ?
I like to come off as a guy who doesn’t care too much about his hair, but my wife and a few other people on this planet no better. Up until discovering David Tienda at Aziz (South location, on Brodie), I was a wanderer — each month searching for a new stylist whom I didn’t want to pop in the throat for f-ing up my locks. Let me tell you, I got around. David not only listens carefully and does what you tell him to do with your hair, he makes great suggestions based on your hair type, face shape, zodiac sign, social security number, what have you. He’s a wizard with the scissors and a seer with the shears. He’s a great conversationalist, too — able to wax eloquent and exhibit wit without losing focus on the quaff he’s cutting.He’s like a stylist ninja, with personality and humor. Seriously, the dude’s talented, and a good guy. Give him a shot — you won’t be sorry. Pros + Mr. T, no uppity staff, ample parking (huge plaza lot)Cons – nada
I got word of this place by the Groupon of the day. I had my best friend in town from FL, so we wanted to pamper ourselves. I called about 2 weeks in advance for a Jan. 2nd appointment. I had no problems and the person was very pleasant at the Lamar location. She mentioned we would receive a call to confirm our appointments. I didn’t get one and figured due to New Year’s Day, it might have been missed. I called before our scheduled time on Jan. 2nd to find out she booked it for Feb. 2nd. I was very distraught and unhappy about this mistake. The lady on the phone was very polite and did what she could to save the situation by trying to rebook. The times were inconvenient for the next day. We figured out a time to reschedule but I had to bring up if there’s anything she could do since we were so inconvenienced. She finally gave us some free add on and $10 off. We ended having to go to this location vs the Lamar. In the end, we were satisfied. I had one of the best massages by David a
I tried this salon because it was near my old apartment, and I’m still not sure how I feel about it =/ All trims are charged as cuts, so I can never afford to get my hair trimmed when I get it colored. Also, the first guy I went to there (the receptionist picked him for me) didn’t pay attention to what he was doing and when I got home, I found pieces of hair around my face that hadn’t been colored at all! He charged me very reasonably however, so I didn’t bother to gripe. So again, it was close to where I lived, so I tried a different stylist and she did a very good job, but it took over three hours just to do my roots and the pricing was insane (I remember it was roughly over $200. To do my roots.) The stylists were friendly when I went and seemed to do a good job of listening and discussing what I wanted, but I’m not sure I’d go back.Pros + Really comfy chairs for the shampooCons – Unpredictable pricing, expensive trims
