Deseo Salon

My hair was done by Fabien and I really love it. He easily recommend me 3 options for my hair cut according to my face shape and hair. And at the final it was amazing. Everybody around me made a compliment about my new look. Plus Fabien such a nice and talented person! Thank you so much for my new look!

Discovering Fabien Roussel was such a gamer changer — he’s completely changed my hair and the framing of my face for the better. I originally found him because a friend’s haircut was so stunning I wanted to leave my stylist of 5+ years and go wherever she was going. Best decision ever. Thanks to expert styling, I spend almost no time drying or styling my hair, yet it always looks like I’ve put tons of effort into it. He is an artist, very dedicated to treating each face as a beautiful canvas. He is also a delight to spend time in the chair with, and I always look forward to visiting him. Every time I leave his salon I’m asked for a referral because he is
.talented!

I started using Fabien Roussel at Deseo Salon as my stylist upon the recommendation of a close friend whose hair was absolutely beautiful. My experience so far can only be described as divine! Fabien is truly gifted at his craft. He is able to cut my hair in a way that is perfect for my face and personal style. I spend a maximum of 5 minutes on my hair in the morning, yet look as if I just left the salon. One of the best things about getting my hair cut by Fabien, though, is that I have always been treated as if I were his most important client. His hair cuts are the best in Austin, and Fabien is world-​class.

Hair is one of the most important features, it defines a person. I will always trust Fabien and Jason with my hair. Fabien is passionate about what he does, listens to the client, provides suggestions and cuts away. He makes it look so easy. He finishes off his work of magic with a flawless blow dry and style. Jason is immaculate when it comes to color, he gets it. He will spend as long as it takes to get it done perfectly. That is where I will keep going from now on. Just wish I had met them sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money and mediocre cuts and colors. I highly recommend it.

Jason is the very best when it comes to color and fine hair. I have been with him in 3 salons. I follow him!!! He is great

I love Deseo Salon and Wendy! Wendy is amazing with color which I have to do very often! The salon has a great atmosphere and you always feel welcome. I have recommended family and friends to Deseo and all have gone and keep going back.

I have been a client of Frankie’s for about eight years. She is a primo, top-​notch stylist with a heart of gold and the intelligence to match. Once you meet her and get to see her dynamic personality, you’ll understand why I have stayed with her for so long. She knows me and the style that I crave. Being sometimes on the shy side, she has a way of knowing what I am seeking in a hairstyle without me having to tell her. I go to her for color and haircuts. She has mastered the color I crave and even knows how to pull out my fun side. I have always wanted to have a funky edge like an extension of color, but working as a professional, it wouldn’t be acceptable. Instead, she surprised me with two pink extensions that I can put in on the weekends or whenever I feel feisty. Now THAT’s a stylist! Added bonus is my hubby loves the way she styles my hair.
Deseo Salon is conveniently tucked away behind Whole Foods Market with ample parking in their own parking garage. When you arrive, you feel like you stepped out in Greenwich Village. I have always been greeted with a friendly smile and a cold beer or wine. Last visit, they offered Saint Arnold’s Lawnmower beer and it made my experience so much better. Deseo is the perfect salon that you should frequent and Frankie’s your girl.

I recently moved to Austin. I’ve since found a dentist, doctor, nail salon — you name it – everything BUT a hair stylist, because I dreaded getting my hair cut. I have THICK. LONG. HAIR. A lot of it. And I was a magnet for all things Murphy’s Law. Invariably and inevitably, I felt like whenever I got a cut or a color, I’d wind up getting something that wasn’t quite right. Or, I’d love it for a day and then… not. Enter Frankie @ Deseo:
Six months ago, my mother got the cutest pixie cut I’d ever seen, and it was impossible to mess up – I tried. I shoved everything to the left. Then the right. Then forward. It was *impossible* to make the cut look anything but phenomenally classy-​cool.
So, I decided to come out of hiding and give it a shot. Deseo is lovely and Frankie is amazing, period. I walked into the salon, explained what I wanted and she did it. She did it better than what I wanted, and with complete certainty. She’s frank. Probably the most blunt stylist I’ve ever met — which is GREAT. She oozes total ease and professional competence; truly an artist I would recommend to anyone.

I’ve been going to Wendy for years and she is by a long shot the BEST colorist I’ve ever been to… especially if you are a redhead! The other stylist are are amazing too! Can’t go wrong with anyone that works at Deseo — top notch and professional!!!

I am sure all the stylists at Deseo are great, this review is for Phillip Hall.
Phillip has been doing my hair for years. He takes his time and thins it out perfectly. We have the best time (I seriously look forward to our visits) and when I walk out, my hair is FABULOUS. Love Phillip!

Wendy for Color!!! Fabien for cut!!! I’m Blonde with highlights… Best place In Austin hands down!

I went to Phillip for a blow out and was in and out in 30mins not to mention my hair looked fabulous and everyone was very friendly!

Just had my hair cut and colored with Kelsie and she did a great job… as usual! My highlights look so natural! I feel like a million bucks every time I leave the salon. Kelsie helps me with styling techniques and she gives me great advice about products too! I can’t say enough about her! Her positive, upbeat personality is contagious. I highly recommend her!

Just had my hair cut for the first time at Deseo and Phillip was my stylist. He did an absolutely amazing job!!! I haven’t been this happy about a haircut in a long time!!! I came in to the salon because I had had my hair cut a few weeks ago by someone i’ve been going to for awhile, but had just been getting my hair trimmed. This past time I asked her for layers in the front, but it just didn’t work out right. So I needed someone to correct and reshape my hair. Phillip not only corrected my hair (he explained what needed to be fixed and explained how he was going to cut my hair to do exactly what I wanted it to do originally) but did an amazing job styling and making sure just to cut what needed to be cut because i didn’t want much off the length. Phillip is without a doubt talented and I will definitely be returning again!!! Not to mention, Phillip has a great personality and is very funny! :)

Wendy is a color goddess. I’ve been going to her for many years and my hair has always looked amazing. She’s fun to hang with while she does my hair, and I totally trust her advice. I can’t say she has ever steered me wrong. I’ve even had other stylists compliment my color and ask me where I get it done. As an added bonus, she does the best bangs I’ve ever had — I’ll get my hair cut and end up going to her for better bangs. Worth every penny.

Erin is Deseo’s new Master Stylist, and she is truly amazing! I absolutely love the haircut and new style that she recently gave me. If you are looking for a boutique salon, with incredible talent, I highly recommend checking out Erin & Deseo.

Cannot say enough how much I love both Jenni and Wendy. I will follow Jenni anywhere; I love how my hair looks and feels after her dry cut. I also love how Wendy takes my wishes and dislikes into consideration and makes my hair color look fabulous. It is really important to me that my hair reflects who i feel i am and i love that neither one of them force anything on me and are collaborative in what is done. I LOVE them both! Again, I have nothing negative to say and highly recommend them.

The talent at Deseo is amazing. Wendy always colors my hair. She’s the best. Today I had my first haircut from Fabien. Originally from France, he moved here from NYC with his wife and two daughters. We are REALLY LUCKY. What a terrific haircut, not to mention he’s a great guy. Wow! I plan to send all of my friends to him. I can’t write a review without mentioning Jenni. Although she’s not taking NEW clients, she’s wonderful. The girl knows how to cut hair. I know from personal experience.

I cannot say enough great things about Wendy. She has done my hair for over ten years, and I’m SO happy that she’s finally opened her own place! She is a hair genius, and the funniest, kindest person you will ever meet. Her new salon is beautiful, and the experience there is incredible. She is by far one of the most talented colorists and stylists in Austin, and you would be mistaken to try anyone else first.

I’ve been a cut and color customer of Wendy’s for five years and I’m thrilled that she’s opened her own salon. My hair is hard to manage and I always leave her feeling fabulous. I’ve met the staff she’s recruited and they are completely in her image — talented and on the cutting edge without being pretentious or forcing their own style or «the latest» trend on you. It’s all about you and what makes you feel and look beautiful.
