Charlotte Belle

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review until now, Charlotte has been cutting my hair for years! I love her!
Most of her reviews have come from curly haired ladies, well, because Charlotte is truly the master of the curl. I know this because I’ve seen her work. I however, have a very straight, fine, boring head of hair. That is, before Charlotte works her magic.
She adds layers and depth to all my cuts which no stylist has ever quite done for me in the past. They always somehow match my style and personality and frame my face nicely, whether I’m going short or long. I’ll be honest, I’m not great about scheduling appointments on a regular basis, but I get compliments on my hair no matter what stage its in. The cuts I’ve got from her grow out beautifully.
Not only does she give me amazing hair cuts (oh, and I haven’t even mentioned the scalp massages, purrrrr), but she is such a lively, fun person to spend an hour with chatting and laughing. I wish my appointments lasted longer!
Her salon is easy to find, but parking is minimal. It has never been a problem for me, though. I drive a pick up and usually just park on the cross street of Robert T. Martinez. There aren’t any restrictions. If you have time to spare, inside the salon is one of the best vintage clothing stores, in my opinion, in town. I’ve purchased a few of my favorite clothing items here. There’s also a really fun wig shop in the back, full of cosmetics and jewelry to fancy upon. It’s a really cool spot.
No matter what kinda hair ya got, or what your style is or isn’t, you should definitely book an appointment with Charlotte. Seriously.

I love Charlotte! She’s awesome!
She’s the first hair stylist that I have gone to that is actually excited about cutting my curly hair. My curls have NEVER looked better. She really knows what she is doing and to top it all off, she’s the sweetest person ever!
If you have curly hair, BOOK AN APPOINTMENT NOW. You won’t regret it.

Charlotte is great. My hair is wavy not curly but it’s very fine. Her cut makes me look like I have great hair and it grew out beautifully! I play tennis and go to the gym, and get compliments on my hair even when I’m all sweaty! And her scalp massage is fantastic! I highly recommend her

Love, love, love this woman and her magical scissors and hands! It’s hard to find someone who knows how to handle the curls, and what a scalp massage! She was recommended to me by a coworker, and I am sooooo happy I gave her a chance. And what a sweetie! Check her out — you won’t be disappointed.

Charlotte is awesome. If you have curly hair look no further in this town. She gave me not only an amazing hair cut today but her scalp massages are pretty epic as well. She’s also just an all around sweet genuine person who’s easy to pass an hour chatting with. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend her! You won’t regret it and your curls will love you for it!

Awesome with adults and children alike.
I never go anywhere else to get my hair cut because I don’t trust anyone else to do it right. I typically go in and tell Charlotte to do anything that she thinks will look good on me and I always turns out great. You can book appointments online with Schedulicity which is super convenient.
She sells hair products that I love that smell great and my hair has never looked better. The best part of the entire experience (besides getting a great «do») is the stress relieving massage. Ahhhh…
Anyway, the shop is really cool, the artwork changes frequently, and it’s just a classy but eclectic salon. The name of the salon part of this Maison has since changed to Lulu Belle but you’re still getting the same quality of service with a cut from Charlotte and a color from Johanna. Plus, you can do some shopping for vintage clothing and maybe some cool jewelry and make up while you wait.

As a person with curly hair, I have been cutting my hair since I was a teenager because nobody seemed to have any idea how to make it look good. Not only does Charlotte know how to cut curly hair into other shapes besides a mullet or afro, she also has great ideas for different hair shapes (something I didn’t think was possible for me having extremely tight curls). I’m sure she rules at cutting other hair types, too, but I just need to leave a rave review for what I experienced: A HAIR MIRACLE. Nobody else will ever cut my hair, thankfully including myself ;)

Charlotte really is great: she’s one of those lucky people to have found what she likes to do AND is great at it to boot. I have the type of curly hair that’s a bit of a mixed bag: varying textures all over, and the curliness is all over the board also. Last week I came in wanting to overhaul the unruly mess that had become my hair, and she talked me through what she was thinking, accommodated what I wanted, and came up with a cut that’s cute and that I can replicate at home (I’ve had minor disasters in the past with a stylist making my coif look completely amazeballs at the salon, but then getting home and realizing that I lack the magic stylist hands). Her prices are reasonable, and she’s so enthusiastic and great at what she does. Highly recommend!

Simply amazing. Recommended by two friends who also have great hair.
I have this weird combo of wavy/​curly/​poofy.
For years, I’ve been going to stylists who cut my curly hair and then blow it straight. To keep it looking nice, I had to straighten it after washing.
When Charlotte first asked me what I wanted to do with my hair, I replied, «I want it to look as good curly as it does when I style it straight.»
My wish was granted! Without any product or styling, I have smooth curls. I am not sure what kind of magic she worked, but it even looks good in humidity — it curls rather than poofs.
And it still looks amazing nearly 4 months after my haircut. It’s growing out beautifully — I don’t have the wild-​woman «bird-​lady» look going on that I used to get a few months after a cut. In fact, I feel kinda guilty that I’m not going back every 8 weeks and giving her more business, but my hair looks so freakin’ amazing, I have no reason for another cut right now.

Charlotte has magical powers.
When it comes to my hair, I am one of those people who wants at least 7 opposite things at once. I wish I was so skilled and punk as to do it myself… but the reality is that Charlotte always manages to nail exactly what I was hoping for, and make it look better than I imagined.
She has been cutting my hair for years now. I have gradually started taking more and more risks in my requests, and Charlotte has always rocked it — and I have only grown happier with my hair.

I have extremely curly hair. Charlotte loves my hair when most other hair stylists do not even know how to start caring for it. She knows curly hair. I love my hair!!! It is healthier than it ever has been. Charlotte understands the difference in curly and straight hair. She is the BEST!!!
Oh I forgot to mention her head massage!!! It is the best!!! You feel special and appreciated from the time you walk in her shop until you leave. Thank you Charlotte!!!

I have been waiting and waiting since moving to Austin (over a year ago) to find someone to cut my curls. Finally, I was out shopping the other day, and complimented a woman on her awesome haircut. She gave me Charlotte’s name, and I made and appointment ASAP. Charlotte is awesome! She really truly knows curls, and spent an hour with me, first cutting my curls dry, to see how my hair fell naturally. Then a glorious scalp treatment and massage, followed by diffusing the curls, and some last minute detailed snips, and I was ready to go! I finally have the proper layers so my curls can be free! If you are a curly girl, you must go see Charlotte :)

Charlotte Belle’s knowledge of curly hair, (and normal hair types) was astounding! I haven’t had a hair cut this thorough in at least 15 years. I am so excited to have stumbled upon Charlotte and her amazing salon! This has started a beautiful relationship with my hair! Not only was she on time, she was pleasant, enjoyable and great to talk to during the cut experience.
Her and Johanna, (her salon mate that colors/​cuts that I met again in a happenstance photo shoot) have really helped my hair. They both are so careful with their instruction about your hair health. After both of their tips now my once, unruly and very dry hair is soft and manageable. THIS IS THE SALON TO GO TO IN AUSTIN! I am already spreading the word out there!
And I almost let the parking deter me from visiting them, but please don’t there is plenty of street parking and they have a couple spots in front of their amazing shop! The rest of the offerings that the location has, I haven’t gotten to truly scope out. But I am very excited to in the future!

Charlotte Belle really knows her stuff. I have long been wanting to go to someone who truly knows curly hair to get a fun, new haircut. She did an amazing job! I showed her two pictures and tried to explain what I wanted and she did exactly what I wanted/​needed. I have never enjoyed a haircut so much! I thought it was impossible to have a funky cut with curly hair unless I went to an extreme like an afro. Not only is my cut funky, but it is also very feminine and fun not extreme which is exactly what I wanted. She also gave me loads of great tips some I knew some completely changed the way I treat my hair for which my hair thanks me every day by looking springy and healthy. Even though I had been looking for a salonist at a cheaper price she actually is very reasonable for what you get: an awesome haircut, a head massage, useful tips and delightful company. She didn’t push any products on me and in fact told me about some home products like lotion that could be used on my hair. The one product I did buy from her was actually cheaper than the product I use now. She seems to get that most people want to take care of their hair but not at the expense of their bank account which is a rarity in my experience with salons. I wish I could give her six stars. She is that great!

Charlotte Belle is one of those people who always makes you feel special, and has one of the kindest personalities. Her haircuts are as much fun as she is and you also get to walk out looking your best. I go to her because she makes me feel beautiful when I leave with a haircut I know people will die for she a one of kind artist! I highly recommend her, she has exceptional skills and a bright and cheery personality to go with it. You don’t get just a great hair cut you also feel like you met a great new friend too. It’s always a pleasure and I will continue to go as long as I live in Austin, she’s my gal! She also does free bang cuts, who does that???

Charlotte gives the best hair in Austin and she is a totally awesome person to boot. I just can’t get enough of her. The last time I went in, she shampooed me and made me feel all energized and special with good conversation and a totally sweet haircut that grew out nicely! Speaking of, I gotta call her cuz I’m all shaggy and she knows how to do it right – hair what I’m sayin, no what I’m screamin? Help me OB1Charlotte, you’re my only hope…

Move over Rover and let Charlotte take over. If Jimi Hendrix cut hair instead of lasering sonic holes in the starry sky he would sooo cop Charlotte’s moves. She WILL turn your hairdon’t into a hairdo & unwind your mind and rethread your head. Great space, skills, prices, tunes, & EZ scheduling. All delivered with a humble, postitive, & caring attitude. To some it’s a job. To Charlotte it’s art. You’ll step lighter on the earth & colors WILL vibrate after a sess in Charlotte’s chair. She’s another fine citizen keeping the blue island of Austin afloat.

Charlotte is a freakin’ artist! She’s spunky, friendly, and did a damn good job on my hair. Plus the price isn’t bad — $ 50. She was very thorough in explaining exactly what I need to do to be able to replicate my style at home, and although I haven’t quite mastered it yet (keeping in mind that today is Saturday & I just got my hair cut Wednesday, four days ago), I’m sure a large chunk of that is that I don’t have a diffuser at home (…yet). Like another reviewer mentioned, she doesn’t sell products there, so you know she’s suggesting it because it’s good & not because she gets a cut.
Plus, the Daisical Industries building is super cute. I spent a while after my haircut browsing around, and found myself somewhere between happy I didn’t bring any more cash because I would have spent it all, and sad because… I didn’t bring any more cash so I couldn’t buy anything.
Anyways — I went in with boring hair (or as boring as blue hair can be), walked out with sassy awesome hair, the scalp massage was ah-​maze-​ing, totally recommend Charlotte!

If you have curly hair, ya need to see Charlotte. She’s amazing. She is extremely thorough, and really know what she’s doing. Also, I really appreciate her honest advice. Charlotte gave me TONS of advice on how to take care of my hair. She doesn’t sell products at her salon, so you can trust that everything she recommends is honest, not just to sell products. All the Daisical Industries girls are super sweet.
A quick run down on my appointment– I was there just for a cut–
Started on time. First Charlotte cut my hair dry, then took me back for a wash and conditioning treatment. While she let the conditioner sit, she gave me a rather awesome scalp massage. Back to the chair for a wet cut. She then dried my hair with a defuser and cut it again. Charlotte devoted a whole hour just to cutting my hair.
The whole salon has a laid-​back, vintage feel. I’d recommend Charlotte to anyone, especially if you have curly or textured hair.

Charlotte Belle was recommended by two men with gorgeous locks. They were so right. I have finally found someone fun who knows how to cut curly hair. That’s the magic combo for me.
I also appreciate that she’s on time. I think my longest wait has been two minutes. The only time I’ve stayed longer than an hour was because she was at the end of her day and offered to blow dry my hair straight. Just to clarify: this is an epic undertaking that lesser stylists have neither the skills nor the patience for. (I do all kinds of crazy things to my hair and I don’t even have the patience.)
She has her schedule online and makes scheduling by email easy, which is super handy for the day-​job-​working and/​or organizationally-​challenged folks.
She has started Daisical Industries, a cooperative business, with several other fabulous ladies. Looking up the names…
Esther Bangs: vintage clothes and original designs. My vintage-​loving opinion: small collection but well-​curated: wide range of decades, some lovely original stuff and a better than average range of sizes.
Coco Coquette: make-​up, eyelashes, wigs and falls. High quality and a wide variety from shocking pink to just normal pretty color and cut.
Johanna Esper: color and makeup. I haven’t tried her yet but noticed that she’s got a big stack of magazines, which is nice when you can’t describe what you want or are under a thousand pounds of foils.
That’s some serious flair in one nice old house. But I like the simplicity of it, too. People doing what they love and being good at it, making small business go.
