Salon Sovay

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 ;) more

My sister and I have been going to Charlie for many years, even before he was at Salon Sovay. I have strayed once or twice because of commuting distance, but always come back to Charlie. I once saw a ""world renowned"" stylist who ruined my hair..it had to be cut off to a very short length to get it to grow back healthy. it is now long, silky and soft again..thanks to Charlie. He always shows so much concern, takes all the time he needs and is very precise. He does my highlights and cuts and I could not be happier!! Charlie's private studio also is a place where I can totally DE-STRESS, knowing I am in the most capable hands in Austin!\r Thank you Charlie for all you do!\r Stefanie Pros: Takes the time to do an outstanding job everytime! more

I've been going to Heather Davis since she was in the outlets in San Marcos. She is amazing. From the very first time she cut my hair, she listened to what I wanted and discussed what would work and what wouldn't with my hair type. She listens to the kind of work you want to put into your hair and teaches as she styles to show you how to recreate it at home. I live in McAllen now and I will still make the trip every now and then to get styled by Heather. She is a real sweetheart and treasure of Austin. Check out Sovay, peoples. For real. Pros: dream hair. everytime. more

When it comes to my hair, I love to go with the best...and Heather is the best!! I've been going to Heather for my hair cuts and colors since she was at the outlets in San Marcos (years ago). Ever since the first time she cut my hair, I've had the kind of hair that I've always wanted! You know, the kind that's soft and manageable that just falls into place no matter what. Just tell her what kind of style you are looking for and she will give you what you want. Even if you aren't too sure about the kind of cut that you are looking for, she'll talk it out with you and it will come out great! I'm always getting compliments on my hair and you will too! If you want the kind of hair cut that you've always been looking for, go visit Heather Davis at Salon Sovay in Austin! Pros: My hair always looks great! more

For the past two years, I have gotten really terrible haircuts. I jumped from stylist to stylist wondering if I would ever have good hair again. I had all but resigned myself to a life of hair travesties when somehow I ended up in Heather Davis’ salon chair, and I’m glad I did. \r \r The first thing I appreciated was that Heather really took the time to thoroughly discuss with me how she was going to cut my hair and to make sure that we were both on the same page before she began. During the consultation, we also discussed future plans for my hair and how the cut I was going to get would facilitate the achievement of my present and future hair goals/visions. \r \r During the hair cut, Heather was very personable and easy to talk with. I also felt very comfortable stopping her and asking her questions about the procedure, and she seemed pleased to lend her expertise to the conversation, which was very reassuring. \r \r After we were done, Heather then encouraged me to go home and play with my new style and come back if anything needed to be adjusted. This was very refreshing since most stylists seem to be offended when you ask them to adjust your cut; they take it personally as if they did something wrong, but Heather understands that sometimes you just change your mind. \r \r The main quality that stood out about Heather is that she looked at me as a person- not as a client. She genuinely cared about me and my needs and that kind of selflessness really translated into her work and created amazing results. Plus, she’s really sweet. I will be back!\r Pros: I have great hair Cons: I hope my hugs didn’t make her uncomfortable more

I have entrusted my hair to Marcy Hoen for 3 years and I highly recommend you do too! Marcy is rare in heir field in that she approaches hair the way a scientist understands a complex problem and an artist creates a stunning work of art. The scientist first seeks to understand your hair - its journey before arriving at her chair and its natural structure and composition. And she shares her analysis with you so you learn about your hair. Once the scientist has understood, the artist takes over. With a total mastery of her tools, she transforms your hair into a beautiful creation. It's no accident that Marcy also curates art, working with the finest artists in Austin (AustinArtStart). All of this coupled with Marcy's charming demeanor makes for a wonderful experience at Salon Sovay! Pros: perfect results more

Sovay, the Salon's owner, is not only a real talent, but she will be completely upfront and honest with you about whether or not she thinks you have the hair to pull off a particular style or cut. Something I greatly appreciate since my hair is kind of thin and fine. She is the ONLY person I trust for a cut, but she is excellent with color as well. I'm one of those people that always hates the way I look after the stylist has blown me out and styled my hair. No one ever does it the way I like it, or in a way that is even sort of representative of MY STYLE! Sovay is the exception here. When I leave her salon, I feel like a better version of ME, not like a replica of her, or the last 10 people she just styled, or what SHE THINKS my style should be. She listens, she consults you every step of the way, she's excellent at what she does, and I HIGHLY recommend her work! Pros: Appointment Availablity, CONSISTENTLY Top Notch Work! more

Been going to Charlie for a long time now and one day decided that it was time to bid my medium-length curls farewell. He gave me the most awesome short 'do for my curly hair, I get nothing but complements on it all of the time and my confidence level has gone up a few notches. My boyfriend, who was apprehensive about me chopping off my signature curls, loved it and said it was the haircut I was meant to have. more

I recently moved to Austin from NY and I have had several horrible experiences at various salons throughout Austin. I found Salon Sovay online and after speaking personally with the owner, Savoy Reeder, and reading numberous rave reviews about Charlie, I scheduled an appointment. Charlie scheduled 3 hours with me for my first visit. He spent nearly 35 minutes just discussing with me what we could do, offering suggestions and listening to my ideas for a new color and cut. He is extremely personable and detailed - he is a true perfectionist! I have received nothing but compliments on my new hairstyle and color. For the tremendous work he does, his prices are quite reasonable. If you are seeking a unique, highly talented hair stylist, Charlie is the perfect choice! Please call Salon Savoy and ask for Charlie - you will not be disappointed!!! more

Charlie most importantly gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I said, you're the pro, do what you need to do. He went at it and it was awesome. He's also super cool and the atmosphere was great. You won't be disappointed Pros: Best Haircut I've ever had more

I wanted something new and turned to Marcy for input. Immediately, I was realized I was being studied like a piece of clay and was in the capable hands of an artist. She suggested and created a style that suits me perfectly and is extremely easy to care for. I recommend her highly. Pros: Great salon, service and style. Cons: Absolutely none. more

As a participant in the Miss Texas pageant circuit, I came to Salon Sovay looking for the perfect blonde. I was overjoyed with the beautiful work Sovay did on me, taking me from a mousy brunette to a bombshell. The haircut is gorgeous, easy to replicate at home, and exactly as requested. Not only did I get precisely what I was looking for, but the prices are extremely competitive for such an upscale style. I have sent all of my friends there, too, including many who have to make the hour drive from San Antonio. It is well worth it! Pros: Amazing haircuts with great movement, easy to style more

Heather is a very talented hair stylist who can make anyone's hair look amazing, but most good stylists can do this. Heather goes beyond that by listening to her clients wishes, lifestyle, and desires and then turns that into a cut and/or color that is the most flattering for that person. I have to say that since I have been going to her, each consecutive cut and color has been better than the last. The last time I went to her, i told her to do what she does best - and the result was so much more than I could have hoped for! It wasn't what I imagined; it was so much more. If you're not getting the hair cut and color of your dreams - you're NOT going to Heather! Trust Heather to turn a hair cut into a life changing event - you won't be disappointed. Pros: Best haircut and color I've ever gotten!! more

I Aaways get tons of compliments on my hair; he works miracles Pros: Best hair stylist in Austin hands down! more

I am new to Austin and was nervous about finding someone to cut my hair. I couldn't have lucked out more in finding Charlie. I went to see him based on his feedback here and I was just thrilled. He's a whiz with both cut and color and just an all-around cool dude. I recommend him highly! Pros: great service, great price more

I have been going to Heather since the beginning, I have never once had a hair cut I didn't like, and when she does my color it's art! She is super sweet, gives alot of attention to each individual client to ensure satisfaction. She is awesome. GO TO HEATHER! :) Pros: awesome hair Cons: I guess the constant complements can get annoying...;) more

Heather is seriously the best hairstylist I have EVER been to. Almost everytime I go to her, I can't decide what I want, and I tell her to do what she thinks will look best, and everytime I have left with a hairstyle/dye that I have LOVED. When I do know what I want, she always understands and gives me exactly that, or a version of it that looks awesome on me. Seriously, go to her, and you will never want to go anywhere else. She rocks! Pros: really nice, gives you exactally what you want, awesome! more

I received a wonderful haircut and then a free bangs cut between my next cut. Its nice to have a stylist that can give you direction in the cut that will be most flattering to you. Thanks Erica! -Abby Pros: Great atmosphere and service. Friendly yet professional. Cons: Not many drink options more

Nearly 3 years ago, I went to Sovay and I am so glad I found her. I've never had a stylist like her before and I am hooked! She took the time to get to know me, my lifestyle, and MY HAIR and over time has transformed my image and my hair into exactly what suits me best and I LOVE it. She has taken the time to train me how I can style my own hair and always answers my questions. I have taken others to her who have completely different hair types than mine and they too were thrilled with the results. It is obvious that Sovay loves what she does and she is fabulous at it! Thank you Sovay!! more

I knew Sovay before she went to hair school, which was a long time dream of hers. I was lucky enough to be her guinea pig on several occasions. I also had the pleasure of watching her go from student to salon owner in no time at all. Sovay's dedication, creativity, and passion have made her salon a delightful place to visit. She takes pride in her work and will never let you leave unhappy. She always has great tips for how to style your hair. Also, I love the compliments i inevitably get every time I visit Salon Sovay. Pros: great atmosphere, lots of laughs more
