Bettie Bangs Salon

I went to Bettie Bangs because of the price & because it was close to my house. I left Bettie Bangs with the best haircut I have ever received. I have never loved a style more! The price was perfect for me, and the attention to what I wanted and described, and the pure instinct of the stylist made for the best experience! I will never go anywhere else in Austin!

Stephanie took care of my hair. I am having mixed feeling. the hair style I got I was not actually looking for, but what I got, I really love it. May be every style looks different in different hair types. She is nice, she did a quick job, and I got my hair makeover.

Kristen is bomb! She is quick and excellent with her styling. The salon is always clean. All the girls are helpful and friendly. They even offer you a drink while you get your hair done.

Stephanie took care of me. She fixed my hair and made it awesome.
Sadly I can’t recreate it to do what she did that day. One day I will.

Worst experience ever. Warning do not let them touch your hair I wish I never bothered with this shop

I made an appointment only, their website makes it very easy and foolproof. Ashley was the stylist I selected and was also the person I saw the day of. I’ve had other salons switch me to another stylist the day of.
She listened well, was very accommodating to my toddler, who I brought along in preparation for her own haircut in the near future. Although I left with a slightly different style than I had I mind when I initially made the appointment, I was pleased. Ashley was able to translate what I wanted and needed into a great haircut.

I am so glad I stumbled across this salon! Ashley cut and styled my hair and I am very happy with the result. She was friendly and courteous and I enjoyed the entire experience. The salon was clean and prices are very affordable. Looking forward to my next visit. Would recommend this salon and specifically Ashley! Thanks again.

After going to Bettie Bangs I’ve gotten the most compliments I’ve ever had on my hair. Kelly R. does a great job every time. I love the cut she gave me and the beautiful ombré .The salon is cute, they are right off the freeway and parking is close and free.

I came here at the recommendation of a friend because I had been talking about getting a red ombré done, but had no clue where to go. It was easy to request an appointment (did it online on a Sunday) and got confirmation of my time the next day without any issues.
Everyone I met during my four hour appointment was extremely friendly and definitely talented. I had the pleasure of working with Ashley, and she did a phenomenal job on my hair. She really listened to what I wanted, gave great advice on what would suit me best, and really followed through with her work.
I cannot express enough the amazing job Ashley did (as well as the other ladies!) and how this place greatly exceeded my expectations. This will definitely not be my last time to come here!

Stylist did a great job. At work everybody asked about my hair and it completely suited me. I recommend this place.

So I found this salon by accident and WOW, am I ever happy to have found this place. Getting a girls haircut last minute on a Saturday was a lot more difficult than I thought but Bettie Bangs Salon came to the rescue.
Its my daughters birthday celebration tomorrow and she was in need of a last minute haircut and our usual spot was not available. Upon walking in is a very cute and well decorated salon with an even more pleasant group of people inside. Kristen was nice enough to squeeze my daughter in for a quick cut and I’m so thankful for her. My daughter is a huge tomboy and usually hates going to «girly» places but at my surprise, when we walked out my daughter said «I can’t wait to come back and get my hair cut again, she was amazing». As a male single parent raising a girl, girly things are not my specialty but Kristen definitely knew what my daughter needed and helped get her the exact cut & style she wanted. Well it’s official that my growing daughter now has her own salon/​stylist. Thank you soo much for the wonderful service and great cut. We will definitely be back!

I’m a dude with an oddly shaped noggin and wavy hair that will fro out if not tamed. Kristen at Bettie Bangs is one of the few that can keep me looking human.
All self deprecation aside, my wife gets her hair done by Kristen and is always very happy with the results. I travel from down south because I don’t trust anyone but Kristen. She’ll keep you looking sharp, price is more than fair and they give you booze.
Friendly, talented… It’s no surprise they are expanding into the space next door!

Having now spoken to Stephanie the owner it appears there was a misunderstanding with living social and she had not refused to refund my money. I appreciate Stephanie clearing up the misunderstanding and wanting all her customers to be happy

These women have done a wonderful job growing their business and keeping the atmosphere fun and hip in the process. Our whole family has a stylist here.

I absolutely LOVE this salon. Ashley is my regular colorist and stylist and she is amazing. I love that they have online scheduling and have always been able to get me in (even at the last minute). The staff is so friendly and the prices are excellent. Tip these ladies well, because they definitely deserve it. I recommend everyone I know to this salon. GO HERE!

This was my first experience at Bettie Bangs but it won’t be my last! Kelly was my stylist and she is wonderful. She listened to my requests then offered a few helpful suggestions to tie it all together. The salon is clean, tastefully decorated, and overall a pleasant place to be. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a permanent haircut home. They are honestly priced too, and will not add on surprise charges at the end of your visit. We can all appreciate that.
I have to also add that I’ve had bangs for almost a year now and I have never loved them this much! I have described what I envisioned to several stylists that didn’t get it half as quickly as Kelly did.
Pro tip: The shop is next to Hobby Lobby on Research. It’s well worth the drive. :)

Clarissa is GREAT! I came here for the first time and was scheduled with Clarissa. I was nervous as anyone would be trusting someone new with your hair. I am leaving for my honeymoon in a week and wanted to get my hair done for my honeymoon. Unilocal was what brought me to Bettie Bangs.
Clarissa listened to what I wanted and I welcomed her advise and suggestions.
My hair looks great! I love it and my husband loves it :)
I got:
Great conversation, glass of wine, a relaxing head massage (my fav lol) while getting my hair washed and a great hair cut and color! She also have me advise on how to manage my curly/​wavy hair. I will definitely be back here.
Clarissa you rock and I appreciate your awesome customer service!

This review is especially for Brenna.
On August 8^th, my fiancé and I were to elope at the Travis County Courthouse at 2:30pm. That morning, I was scheduled to get my hair and makeup done at 8am by April-​Kelly Cashion (who was recommended to me by a stylist friend). We were scheduled to have an elopement photoshoot, then the ceremony, then more pictures. She flaked. Woe is me, the poor bride who was left to do her own hair and makeup on her wedding day, when one of the best photographers in Austin would be photographing her. I was livid.
Through my rage, though, I saw a light in the darkness: what salon do I know of that specializes in gorgeous pinup styles? Bettie Bangs, of course! Somehow, the stars aligned, and the gorgeous and talented Brenna had an opening that would put me at the shoot just in time. She listened to me rant and rave, and after only an hour and fifteen minutes, I had an amazing ‘do with some victory rolls and perfect pinup makeup!
After seeing the results, I begged Brenna to do my hair and makeup for our big ceremony on September 20^th, and she obliged. She quoted me a very affordable rate and was excellent at communicating with me to make sure everything went off without a hitch. On the morning of the big day she was punctual and in a great mood, and I had a blast, despite my nerves, as she made me beautiful once again. It poured rain for most of the day (humidity!!!) and those victory rolls did not budge. Brenna is the greatest. So grateful for her.

I have been in Austin for 8 years and in that time I have tried several different salons. I have a hard time budgeting, let a lone legitimizing, $ 80+ for a hair cut, but I still want my hair to look decent. So a few months ago I decided to try out Betties Bangs, hoping it’d be the end of my search for a hair-​home. I had looked on Unilocal for something close to my house, and less than $ 45. You know what – Unilocal was right. This place is awesome.
Today was my second visit (first time I’ve ever returned to a salon in Austin – first time in 8 YEARS). I decided I’d wait to Unilocal to see if I returned and to see if my first experience was a fluke or a trend. Its clear it is a trend.
I see Chenoa and I have never had a stylist I liked so well – even when I was a teen and loving my hair. I went to her thinking I was going to cut all my hair off because I’d been showing other stylists photos of long, layered hair cuts and no one was willing to cut the layers for me. The other stylists would tell me layers are too hard to maintain and they wouldn’t layer my hair like the photos (what? yeah, they wouldn’t – very bizarre). Anyhow. Chenoa made my hair look like a frickin Pinterest post. I love my hair for the first time in years. I don’t feel like a dowdy soccer-​mom with Stevie Nicks hair, no more witchy woman. I’m much more Jessica Alba. Today for my return trip my daughter was concerned I was going to cut all my hair off – but I feel like the desire to hack of my hair is so far behind me because I’m no longer frustrated by stylists who either can’t, or won’t, cut my hair like I want. I feel like I can rely on Chenoa to continue to make me look and feel beautiful. I’m truly grateful.
And she is a total steal. Seriously. Less than $ 60 with a 20% tip.
I’m a fan for life. Check her out – she is brilliant.

I followed Kelly Reneau to her fabulous new salon at Lake Creek and I couldn’t be happier.
The tiffany blue walls and black accents give a retro charm to the cozy space and the décor is simple and classic, with stunning portraits of the salon’s namesake hair icon. The stylists are fun and friendly, offering a variety of reasonably priced services. Here you get a great blend of small business attention to detail with professional quality talent.
So do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this great new addition to the area! Walk-​Ins welcome Tuesday-​Friday 9am-​7pm and Saturday 10am-​5pm, but you can work with individual stylists to schedule an appointment for pretty much anytime.
