This review is long overdue! I moved to Austin 7 years ago, and spent the first 3 trying to find the right stylist. I tried one after the other, which all came highly recommended. Then, I finally found Brenda at Amaz! Before Brenda, I just thought that it was typical to leave the salon thinking "I'll get used to it." After 3-4 times at each salon, I knew it was time to switch again. It's been 4 years now, countless highlights, color, treatments, and cuts from Brenda, and I haven't once left Amaz for Hair feeling this way. It's exactly the opposite, as I always look so forward to the next time I get to go back! Not only do I leave with hair that feels & looks great every time, but my time spent there with the staff always makes for a great day. Brenda is extremely talented and knows how to make everyone's color and cut exactly how they want it. If I am feeling indecisive, I can trust that she's going to surprise me with something I like. Thank you Brenda for everything you've done for me! Pros: Experience, Staff, Atmosphere, Location Cons: Pricey, often very busy

I've watched this site for some time, in fact it is why I consulted this salon in the first place, because of all the positive feedback. Now I wonder why all the negative reviews suddenly disappear? Something the owner told me was that she and her staff write the positive reviews...not sure if she was joking. I was a former patron to this salon for the better part of two years, who had an opinion, but it seems to have been erased. Funny, it wasn't flaming or anything like that, just that I didn't care for the mood-swings of the owner, and chose to move on. Things that make you go "hmmmm".

Ava Hastey has been cutting my hair for over twenty years. Not only does she give a fabulous cut, she is a fabulous person with a great, though sometimes crazy, personality. I wouldn't let anyone else cut my hair, except maybe Brenda--in the opposite chair. I also just enjoy going to AMAZ for Hair as it is so relaxing and all the people there are special. Pros: I always know I'm going to look good when I leave. Cons: What??????

What do you look for in a salon? I look for a place where I can get reliable, consistent results from a caring, congenial team. At Amaz for hair, you're always welcomed, cared for with special attention, and your hair is colored, cut, and styled with loving care and with your personality in mind. Ava, Brenda, and Jara are the cream of the crop, and their teamwork is evident. Treat yourself. W.Whitnah Pros: Central location, easy parking. Great service Cons: Call for appt. in plenty of time. It's a busy place.

I would like to thank the entire staff of Amaz for Hair for two years of working with some incredible talent and for their continued support by letting my clients know where I'm now located. The few disparaging comments which were posted absolutely do not reflect my opinion of the staff or my work experience at Amaz. Deklynd Channing

When I need to get my style on, I always go to Amaz. They've just gotten all of the details right. The folks there are charming and do consistently good work. And even though they're busy, I always feel comfortable and well taken care of in this shop. Having my hair cut there is one of the few luxuries I won't cut back on.

I wanted to write briefly about my experience at Amaz for Hair. Every time I called to make an appointment at Amaz, the staff was personable and professional. I have been a client of Deklynd's for approximately five years and followed him everywhere he has gone so I wanted to thank Amaz for letting me know where Deklynd has moved to! I will truly miss the salon as each experience was a good one - Brenda also did my hair once when Deklynd was unavailable and she did an excellent job! Thanks for all of your hard work!

I?ve been going to Amaz for years, and every time I walk in the door there I feel myself relaxing. The atmosphere that Ava has created is serene and lovely. Each of the people who work at Amaz seem genuinely interested in providing a nurturing environment by the way they interact with the clients. Everyone is professional and yet approachable and caring. And I always have a good time when I?m there. The haircuts I get at Amaz are the best I?ve gotten anywhere. Ava?s expert technique results in a haircut that not only looks great in the beginning, but also lasts. She has a way of cutting my hair that makes it grow out gracefully. Over the years, I have come to know Ava as a person of integrity and heart. She genuinely cares about people, both in the salon and in the world. In so many ways, she is quietly making a difference in the lives of many. I wholeheartedly recommend Amaz for Hair to anyone who wants the best. LindaJ Pros: quality service, convenient, professional, relaxing atmosphere

This salon is by far the best in Austin. First off, I really enjoy the time I spend there: the staff are all very fun people and are very interested in making you comfortable; each is willing to lend an ear, give a hug, give encouragement, etc. Not that your stylist should be your psychologist, but I have listened to clients in other chairs talk their way through problems with the help of the stylist. Second, for all the comfort, they also run an impeccably professional operation. The shop is always nice and neat, appointments are confirmed, etc. Third, there is some great people watching to be had in the shop. Clients wear some of the best shoes I have seen in one spot in a while, which also goes to show you that well dressed, fashion conscious people trust these women! And finally, I love AMAZ for the compliments I get on my hair when I go out. People from the Saks Fifth Avenue make up counter to the conveneince store girl to waitresses at restaurants routinely comment on how nice my hair looks. I have referred many a friend and stranger to make an appointment at AMAZ.. You cannot go wrong with any of the sylists...they are each marvellous with color and cut! Also, I have told both Brenda and Ava, "just do what you want, I trust you" and I have never ever been disappointed! Pros: comfortable setting, cutting edge designs, fabulous stylists who are flexible and en vogue Cons: a little pricey, but you certainly get what you pay for!

Was charged more than what the services were quoted on the website. Not happy with the hair, but the owner, Ava, is not open to criticism. When she makes mistakes, she blames the client. Interesting that everyone is providing this place five stars only - no fours, no threes.....makes you wonder who, really, is writing these reviews? Pros: clean Cons: Charged more than website quoted for services.
