Kerry at Skye Salon is an angel on earth. At 51 y/o, I have had long, thick, curly hair my whole life. People have always complemented me on my beautiful hair. That all changed in the past 3-4 weeks when my hair started falling out in huge handfuls everyday in the shower. I learned that I had been incorrectly treated for thyroid disease, and that the abrupt changes in thyroid hormone were the cause of the hair loss?70% so far, and counting. It will be 6 months to a year before I can hope to have the thyroid disease, and the hair loss, in check. Even then, I will never have hair like I've had my whole life up until this point.
Thus, I had no choice but to seek my first trip to a salon in over 20 years, as what was left of my so-recently thick beautiful hair was pathetic to say the least. I had purchased a wig the day before, anticipating the likelihood that soon I would not have enough hair to be seen in public without one. I picked Kerry for my appointment based on the other reviews in Citisearch where other customers said what a ?good listener? she was and how she took her time to craft the best style for the customer?s needs and wishes.
What I experienced with Kerry far exceeded those statements. Traumatized by the sudden change in my body image with the loss of my best feature(my hair)?along with the real possibility of being completely or nearly bald before Christmas?--Kerry patiently asked me questions, and worked slowly and methodically to see what would work for me. My hair was not very cooperative with the blow dryer as we slowly cut it shorter. She must have washed my hair at least 3 times, and at one point I actually left for a couple of hours and came back?this was in order to let my curly hair dry naturally to see how the curls would look before cutting anymore hair. Kerry worked on my hair as if I were a family member. She gave me her opinion and then listened to my thoughts and wishes every step of the way. In the end she created a style using my curly hair?s ability to plump up and cover the growing patches of scalp that would have been visible with any other style. Though the transformation to a whole new look was a ?have to? versus a ?want to? Kerry?s genuine warmth, caring, and competence made it as close to a stress-free experience as possible.
Charlie was also gracious and concerned?occasionally hovering to check on our progress and see how I was holding up. I have never experienced this level of personal service and caring?all at no extra charge for the additional time required. I know that no matter what the future holds, I will be going back to Skye Salon, and to Kerry, to help me make the most of whatever hair I?ve got.
Pros: Best Salon Service and Personal Care I have ever experienced
Cons: Zero/None

Laura at Calvin's helped make our Halloween engagement headache free and very enjoyable. She pretty much held my hand through the entire process from picking out rings to handpicking the right diamonds with me. Laura and everybody at Calvin's were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Calvin's to anyone I know looking for that perfect gift.
Pros: Laura at Calvin's

I have been growing my hair to donate to Locks Of Love for 5 years....finally decided to cut it off and was a little scared. Chose this salon/stylist from the high ratings on Citysearch and was not disappointed. Amanda made cutting 11 inches off my hair a wonderful experience. Great cut and I will be returning when I get the courage to go even shorter.
Pros: friendly staff, great price, cool salon
Cons: none

I have been going to Heather for the most part of about 5 years. I am one of those who use too dread when it was time to get my haircut, because I never new if it was going to be good, ok, or terrible... And then I met Heather. She has consistently given me a GREAT haircut coupled with the fact that it's no small task (I have what some might call difficult hair). I have always recommended her to all of my friends cause she will help you conceptualize what you want to accomplish and then give you good feedback on where you and your hair can go from there (as far as health, styling, and tricks to make your hair the best that it can be).
Go see heather. You'll be glad you did :)
Thanks Heather
Aaron Bryant
Pros: Best Hair Stylist in Town
Cons: Every once in a while she goes on vacation ;)

I went to Shanna for the first time yesterday and it was perfect. I got bangs for the first time since I was about 8 and went in not sure how the bangs would look, but came out ecstatic!!!!
She was very honest and straightforward about what she was doing and also other ways you could achieve the same look at home.
I am very picky about my hair and I have been with the same hairdresser since I was about 7, but she is in Lubbock and well I have successfully found my Austin professional!!!!!!
Pros: everything from the cut to the overall feel of the salon

WOW! I had a fantastic time at this Spa. Sabrina Ewing gave me the best eyebrows I have ever had! She was gentle, confident & talented to boot! I've had my eyebrows waxed for over 18 years & she is my new girl forever! I booked a facial with her for my sun damaged skin, and I am also planning on having brazilians done there from now on!
