Salone Di Essenza in Austin, TX

Absolutely love this salon! I'm pretty picky when it comes to my hair. Met Cynthia a few years ago, at a different location, followed her to Salone di Essenza last year.I like the vibe here like 1000x more than the stuffy salon before. I can walk in, and be myself! So happy to be a patron here, great vibes all around!

I booked an appointment with David since he was a color specialist. My haircut was great but my color touch up was not. I asked if can blend the back while I was still there and he told me to rebook for highlights. I was there for four hours and he could not blend my hair while it was still my appointed time. Very dissatisfied. Will not be going again. I paid 230$ for THIS

Heard great things about owner Lisa through a friend however she was booked out later than I wanted so chose Vickie who was available on the website. Vickie seemed nice, color was pretty good but hair butchered. I spoke to manager but because they are contracted independently I needed to speak to stylist Vickie directly. When I told Vickie what happened with hair and how my old stylist (who is all the way in Marble Falls now and drove just to have her try to salvage it but it was very bad) she became very angry and defensive. My layers were uneven and not blended and abnormally short. Face framing not existent but that's an easy fix. Hair looks thinner than it ever did. I didn't want Vickie to correct it for obvious reasons but simply to refund me just for the cut since color was fine. I've never asked for a refund for hair in my life and it was that bad that my old stylist said you should really ask for one. Vickie rejected the refund defensively after starting off apologetic. Thought the communication was good until she grew rude. Disclaimer: I wouldn't say not to go to this salon simply because I heard great things about manager/stylist LISA and wouldn't want to hurt her business but DO NOT go to stylist Vickie. Owner Lisa was very much apologetic and offered to do my hair or offer product compensation. Poor customer service from Vickie though and such a shame since I thought at first she was so sweet!

Bebe has been cutting and coloring my hair for years now, She also cuts my daughter's hair. I love that we are always coming up with new ideas for the cut and color. Bebe is a true artist and I always look like a million bucks when i leave. Sometimes we even put a pop of purple in my hair. It's a crowd pleaser and so much fun. Thank you Bebe for always taking exceptional care of us. See you soon, Laurie

BeBe is the best. Super cool, knew exactly what I wanted and not only made me look good, she cared about my dry hair so suggested a few things and gave me an awesome conditioning treatment. You get what you pay for and definitely won't disappoint. See you in a couple weeks, BeBe!
