I hardly ever get my hair cut b/c my hair is brittle and long and curly and just hard to manage. I went here with a groupon and she was the first stylist who didnt freak out when they saw my split ends! Its a very austin-y place and she runs it independently with one other lady. When i went there, i didnt know what i wanted to do with my hair except cut it all off b/c it was so dead from swimming for a semester, but there werent any styling books. However, she knew exactly what she wanted to do with it. She shampooed my hair and then went all-out in cutting/styling. You can tell she is very experienced and knows exactly what she is doing -and she HAS been doing it most of her life. And this isnt just a hair CUT, its a complete styling -unlike other places ive been where i could pretty much do what they did. She completely flips and arranges and cuts all of your hair to fit into the style. I usually dont like people to cut my bangs b/c they tend to mess it up, but asking that with her was not an option! Lol -it was just all part of the process. She actually didnt cut as much as i thought she would, but i ended up liking my cut a LOT for the most part. The only thing i dont like is the volume -which sounds weird to say! B/c i actually LOVE the fact that i have more volume, b/c i had none before, but she did this special trick where she twists a bunch of parts and snips them, which makes the hair at the top of your head much shorter, and therefore less heavy and i think angled so that they "poof" -which is awesome. Except that she did a little TOO much of that with mine, and at the parts its super puffed up, and since a lot of the hair is shorter at the tops, makes me feel kinda like i have a mullet at times, although it doesnt really look like that. Most of the time, however, it does NOT look like a mullet, and i can kinda just straighten the top of my hairs and bangs a little bit really quickly and it looks great. So maybe just ask her ahead of time to go easy on the "poofing". Other than that, its a great cut, so much so that it styles itself! I think thats how haircuts are supposed to be, but they seldom are. Shes very nice and talkative, although very busy. I dont get my hair cut that often, but i definitely will be going back for my next one. Shes very affordable, especially for the quality and service. I liked that she actually spent a lot of time making sure it was perfect, altho the blow-drying afterwards was quick and she didnt style it -but that could just be because i got a basic cut. Im sure i could have paid more for her to really style it afterwards! Lol. The whole process took about 30 minutes, but that time was without any waiting and included the free rinsing. Definitely recommend her. ;) Oh! and she also recommended getting a better shampoo/leave-in conditioner, which everyone told me, but i hadnt tried the really nice brands. I bought "Redken Extreme" Shampoo and Leave-in Conditioner, and it is absolutely THE BEST ever. Its like those little packets of shampoo you get when you self-dye your hair and always wish you had more? Well this is it. It repairs very dead, dry, brittle hair, and with the combo of this shampoo and that haircut, my hair actually looks and feels normal and soft, which i never thought would be possible again! Im not sure if she sells it there, but i completely recommend trying it if you have similar problems with your hair :)

It was with great fortune that I randomly stumbled upon this place as I was just idly walking down Guadeloupe one hot Texas day. I was in search of a special new unique cut and I could have stopped by a typical Supercuts down the street but I definitely would not have gotten the same personalized experience that I got here. Janice really knows her hair, shes been in this business for a long while and it clearly shows. We had a lot of fun just messing around with my hair giving it a unique look and I can tell she really enjoyed bringing out a unique style for my specific length and hair type. She is a joy to sit down and converse with. Overall it was a great experience. Janice definitely just gained a new regular customer! I absolutely recommend her for anyone seeking to breathe new life into their hair. Although her humble little business may be a little hard to spot, tucked quietly behind Food Heads she has a steady, loyal repeat customer base that keeps her busy. Walk-ins are welcomed but expect to come back later within the week as she is usually booked up. Be sure to capitalize on her $10 off google offer/yelp deal for new customers.

Short and sweet review: used a groupon, asked for a certain length and cut, got back much more than I expected. Super happy with the results :D Long review: I found a groupon on Monday for the stylist Janice, but I had work and couldnt make it. So, I called and she told me when thered be another...so initially already off to a good start. Come Thursday its time for the cut. I told her I wanted it cut right at the shoulders and that I wanted semi-short side bangs. She cut my hair at a perfect length, and she cut my bangs layered from the top and short. I was worried about having a dull and blah haircut, but the way she cut it was new, fun, and unexpected. My roommate (who is a guy) liked it so much that even he wants to get his haircut there. I know some of these reviews can sound too good to be true, but this is an honest and simple one. I just liked my haircut. Nothing extraordinary. Just a deliciously awesome haircut.

I have walked by this bright, beautiful hair salon every morning for the past few years and had always thought I should give it a try. I was not expecting to find such a bright, beautiful hair stylist to go along with the salon! Janice is a joyful, energetic person and she is quite skilled at making you feel right at home in her cozy, tucked away salon. Even at 9 am on a Saturday morning, she made me feel as if I had known her for years, which is quite a feat that early on a weekend. She listened to my description of how much work I put into styling my long hair (zero minutes ;) ) and assured me she knew exactly what to do. She delivered effortlessly! My hair feels healthy and looks great. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a beautiful cut from an experienced, kind hearted hair stylist! I look forward to getting my hair cut by her in the future!

Obviously, this is a haircut place so that is the most important. Janice knows how to cut hair. I am pretty indecisive on my haircuts and always end up settling for something because I dont want to ask the haircutter to do something over again, or to cut it a little shorter etc. I didnt have that problem this time because Janice wouldnt let me get out of the chair until I was fully satisfied. As for the haircut, it was my favorite haircut I have ever received. I usually take a few days to warm up to a haircut but I liked this one immediately. I have had haircutters rush through cutting my hair and leave patches that were uneven, but Janice took the time to check over everything to make sure it was all even. Long story short, best haircut I have ever gotten, Janice made sure I didnt leave her store less than completely satisfied with my haircut.
