Where is the Best Piercing in Austin, Texas?
I am writing to let everyone searching for ?the best? salon in Austin for highlights and lowlights to stop looking any further. Go to Skye Salon and ask for Laura (although the others are likely just as good). I am a lawyer from LA and I am particular about my look for work. I had gone to Vidal Sassoon for more than 20 years because the quality of hair coloring and cutting is consistently outstanding. I tried two other places in Austin and at one, I was there for hours and at the other, my hair was over-processed. A nightmare to try to fix. I read reviews on CitySearch and found Laura at Skye Salon. I checked the reviews at Yelp too and took a chance. You should too. Laura is excellent with color –both highlights and weaving in darker shades– a superb stylist, experenced and thus quick. The rates are reasonable and comparable to other salons. Another plus is that the salon is in a central location and there is ample parking; Laura, the staff and the owners made it an e
I followed Melissa as her client from her previous salon. She has been the MOST wonderful stylist and colorist I have ever had. I get comments and questions weekly about my cut and color. She makes me look and feel younger, and I’m truly comfortable with my hair. Every time I’ve asked for a change, she encourages me, and helps me find just what I’m looking for. She knows my preferences, but what’s more, she knows me. She remembers what we talk about, asks about my family, etc. and keeps up with my life. It’s a rare thing, but after years of going to Melissa, she probably knows me better than most of my friends. I LOVE MELISSA!The rest of the staff are awesome too! They always know my name, are friendly and helpful. And I love getting my hair washed! They massage my neck and head…OMG! I’d go there just for that! Always amazing!Bottom line, if you want to feel pampered, cared for, remembered and special, you need Salon Ciao Bella.LOVE YOU GALS!Pros + Relaxing and positive atmosph
This is a review for Pure & Austin Nails which is part of the Waxing Studio. It’s an “eco-chic” nail salon. It actually smells good in here. They boast surgically sterilized instruments (sealed for each client) and fresh-flowing water for all pedicures (no standing-water basins).I hadn’t had my nails done in, say, 7 years. I’m not much of a nail gal but my sister treated me and our mom to a manicure, so of course I was game. It was a very pleasant experience to be in a no-fume nail salon. The ceiling is vaulted, maybe 20 feet, and the walls are soothing celery green. The woman who did my nails was an expert with 20 plus years of experience. Our nails looked terrific after the session. I got a peek at a deluxe pedicure in action–the client enjoyed a lower leg sugar-salt scrub and was massaged and buffed in a plush looking chair while viewing a runway fashion show on the flat screen TV. My sister surprised me with a Gift Card for a pedicure! I guess my pedicure envy was fairly e
I was just at the salon for a wedding I was a attending for my cousin. The bride, her mother, mother of the groom, other cousins, maid of honor, matron of honor, bridesmaids and other family members were all here. There was whispering among us, bad past history, crys of sadness, crying of joy and the salon actually helped us keep an even keel. They were very zen if you would say. I felt tacky for the way I was acting and they created a very safe environment for me. They listened and then gave support and love for us all. Very strange experience for me. Not gossipy or belittleing. Just reminding us that family is all we have …….for better or worse. Forgive and comfort. Well, there was one typical stylist telling us of her drama and problems with boys. All about her, while she coughed up a lung. Well everyone did excellent bridal hair. I mean excellent. We had fits and bad comments about each other and the salon swooped in and got involved and “fixed” our issues. The
This is the first time I have ever rated any business. Westlake Pilates is fantastic. My Pilates instructor moved to LA and I was devasted. I had one session at a well know Pilates studio. It was like I was doing Pilates with a judgemental task master. The experience left me in tears. I drove around Austin going into different Pilates studios. I walked into Westlake Pilates and spoke to Julie Strycker, the owner. I told her that she would probably think I was weird but I wanted a studio with great energy. I also wanted someone to respect what I had been doing for a year. JULIE IS AMAZING!!! She sat with me, connected, listened, and asked me to show her what I had been doing. She did not judge my “Pilates” but used what I learned to take off from there.The energy of this studio is fantastic. It does not have any “katty” behavior or tension. Julie is caring, committed person to each individual client. She also is building a team of instructors that have the same qualitie
