I have never had a better cut than the cut I received from Aydrian. She really knows what she is doing. I came to her in dire need of an overhaul. I had been to another salon in town and got a horrible "stacked" bob. She was able to take the choppy worst cut of my life and turn it into a haircut that I have never gotten more compliments on. I went to Aydrian a couple of weeks later for my color and was equally impressed. Upon calling to make an appointment I just found out that Aydrian has left to work at Topaz salon. Im sure the other stylists are great at Keith Kristofer but I will follow Aydrian anywhere! Pros: best cut, great color

I went in to have my hair colored a shade darker (medium brown) with subtle highlights for a friend's wedding party the next day. I asked for subtle highlights, and not anything drastic. The highlights were foiled first and left on the entire time. The results were truly disappointing as I looked like I had thick blocks of orange/yellow streaks through my hair, and even older with the highlights by my ears resembling white hair. The main color looked lighter than what I had walked in with because of the highlights. I was so embarrassed with the pictures, and to this day cannot look at them. I went back the following week to have it fixed, and the 2nd application of the darker color hid some of the hideous highlights but not for long. I had to go to another salon within the same month, and they did their best to correct the issue without damaging my hair. I will never go back to Keith Kristoffer's. Cons: Coloring technique/judgment

I have had my eyebrows waxed and tinted everywhere from Los Angeles to New York to Dallas to London, and trust me when I say no one in any of those cities can compare to Amber at Keith Kristofer Salon. She spends a great deal of time analyzing your skin, hair and the shape of your face before deciding what eyebrow color and shape is right for you. I'm a redhead, so mixing the perfect color combination for my skin and hair can be difficult, but Amber gets it right everytime. Unfortunately, I live in New York, which makes it impossible to see Amber each time I need a touch up. I was recently reminded how amazing she is when I went to have my eyebrows done at Warren Tricomi in the Plaza in New York, and it was a disaster. Even the most upscale salons can't compete with Amber. If you live in Austin, definitely go see her!!

Carrie, colorist, is amazing. She's creative and I've received more compliments on my color in the year that I've been a client at KK, than ever before. She has a personality that makes everyone want to be good friends with her. Amber, THE eyebrow designer of Austin, takes years off my face everytime she does my brows. Now she's someone you totally want to go out and party with. Larin, hairstylist, is so bubbly and sweet and really listens to what her client wants. She does a great job creating "Victoria's Secret" hair. Jacqueline, nail specialist, is awesome at doing up your twenty in style. She's always trying out new things so she stays current. Always fun to chat with while she works. Melissa & Autumn rock! I'm always pumped to see what their hair looks like every time I visit. All in all, everyone I've spent time with at KK is fun, talented and creative. I'll definitely be with them for a long time. Pros: Everyone there is a pro and they're so friendly Cons: A little pricey, but worth it

This was my first time at this salon. I was comfortable there, everyone is very nice, and the salon is beautiful. Here is the really, really important stuff: I went to Kris, my hair was a mess, it was the wrong color and I had quite a bit of growth. So I needed her to correct the color, and blend it into my natural mostly white with brown hair outgrowth. What surprised me is that she knows what color is best for my skin tone, she actually studied that! In the past years, I have asked stylists at other salons what color would be best for my skin tone, and none of them knew, they just said pick a color you like. Kris did a perfect job, my hair looks fabulous! It looks 100% better, Kris performed magic, I really didn't think it could turn out this well. It makes my skin look better and I think I even look a little younger:) Thank you Kris! Also, her assistant, Jessica? I think that's her name, I am so sorry, I can remember for sure. But her assistant is a doll, and I can honestly say I have never had such a relaxing shampoo. I know this sounds silly, but even when she dried my hair with the towel, it was relaxing! I want to go back in between hair color appointments just for her to wash and style my hair! They really care about how you look at this salon, they listen, and treat you like you matter. Pros: Stylists and assistants know what they are doing Cons: None

I have Asian hair, and this causes me lot of problems when it comes to haircuts. I've gone to lots of cheap places where they do a terrible job, barber shops that do an okay job but not good enough for me to come back, as well as some nice salons here in Austin that cater to women, NOT men. Keith Kristofer Salon is the best place I've EVER been to. Most of my life when I get a haircut, I'm not completely satisfied. This is the FIRST time I left with smile on my face. I really had a good experience. My stylist was Larin. She listened to what I was looking for and spent a lot of time with me. My haircut was about 1.5 hours because she took her time to provide me with a quality cut as well as to understand the frustations I've had with my hair. She washed my hair at the beginning AND the end so I didn't have to rush home to take a shower. Another great thing is that she helped me to better understand the way my hair grows so that I can style it in a way that makes me look my best - how many stylists really do this? She told me to wash my hair every couple of days so I wouldn't dry out my scalp. And she made me a shopping list of products that best suit my hair. Larin has made a lifetime customer and I look forward to my next appointment. Pros: Stylists listen to what you want and nice atmosphere Cons: None

Keith Kristofer saved my life! Okay, okay, that's an exageration, but I feel like the wonderful ladies at Keith Kristofer did! My husband is currently deployed and will be arriving home to San Antonio this week. In an attempt to spruce up before his homecoming I decided to have my hair highlighted at a very expensive salon in San Antonio. In short, they destroyed my hair. I cried for three days and on the third night I emailed Keith Kristofer salon at around 11 pm. I received a response from Keith and Kris, the owners, at 12:30 am the same night. If that isn't customer service I don't know what is!?! The salon worked me in only 2 days later with Kris styling my hair. From the moment I arrived at the salon to the moment I left everyone at Keith Kristofer was friendly, welcoming and professional. Kris thoroughly discussed with me what I wanted to do, what had actually gone wrong at the other salon, and what kind of outcome I could expect. Kris, Kris' assistant and Jessica took wonderful care of me. I had three great women styling my hair and checking on my progress. Kris did not disappoint. My hair is beautiful! It is exactly what I was looking for! I actually liked my hair even more the second day than I did walking out of the salon! How amazing is that? I will not go anywhere else! I will not let anyone else touch my hair! I am a Keith Kristofer client for life, and I cannot wait for my husband to see it! Pros: Professional, Friendly, Excellent Work Cons: None
