Dolce

Love Dolce! Cris and Cynthia are amazing with color. Very friendly environment. I had one issue with my color and it was taken care of immediately and without question. Excellent service!

I’m giving the 5 stars to Wes! I have lived all over the country and gone to several pro hairstylist and have never found someone as good as Wes. His color is incredible and he also puts in and cuts my tape in extensions and they look so natural and beautiful. Not to mention, he’s so much fun!!! I drive from San Antonio to see him!

MJ is fantastic! I try to send everyone I can her way. Not only are the cuts fabulous she does fantastic with color and is always willing to try something new!

I can’t say enough about my hairstylist, Wes! He is funny, sweet, and knows exactly what he is doing. I never have to show him pictures of what hairstyles I want, i just tell him what I am looking for and he throws Magic on my head!!! I have been going to him for 4 months now and I see him at least 2 times a month but I wish I could go back just to sit in his chair and talk to him all day! Not only is Wes a great hairstylist, he has now turned into a great friend. Thanks for making me feel beautiful and like a QUEEN!

I went in for a keratin treatment before a long vacation out of the country, if you check their website you’ll find this information on the treatment «Developed in Brazil, Beox Marrakesh is designed to reduce unwanted volume, frizz & unruly curls that will result in silky, shiny straight hair.» I thought this would make it easier to manage my hair while on vacation, to cut down on my styling time, all I did was gain these problems! By the time I got home from the salon, I had tons of fly away’s (breakage) and the back of my hair was bumpy, I waited the proper amount of days to wash and style, when that day came, I had a mess, my hair was harder to style than ever before, I had permanent wave making it very difficult to straighten, and tons of breakage! It took me twice as long to style my hair and it looked awful!
I contacted Dolce about this problem, they had me come in so they could see it, the salon owner and the stylist said they have never had this happen before… that Keratin won’t «straighten» your hair? He re-​trimmed and styled my hair using a flat iron and gave me a conditioner treatment to use once a week. I spent my entire vacation with frizzy, unmanageable hair with tons of breakage (a month long, very busy trip, looking ridiculous).I didn’t have any of these problems prior to this treatment, I simply wanted straighter, less wavy (as advertised) easier to style hair. Wes offered to redo the treatment when I was back from my trip.
When I got back, I decided I didn’t want to repeat the treatment and further damage my already damaged hair. They would not refund me the $ 310 that I paid for this treatment. Wes did offer to refund a portion of it, he deducted the haircut (which is understandable), and for the «free» conditioner that was given to me to try and help with the frizz? .and the cost of the repeat keratin that I didn’t have. because I «denied the offer to repeat the treatment», even though I don’t understand being charged for what wasn’t done or for the conditioner that was given to me to try and help the damage… I agreed.
I never received a dime, it has been many months of excuses, one after another! I have been way way beyond patient and understanding. This started last year, I have had email contacts repeatedly with promises of a partial refund but the only thing I have got was new excuses. It’s a check, it takes 2 minutes to write and put in an envelope. I have provided my mailing address a couple of times.
I don’t know why there are such great reviews, I can only assume most are paid for since companies can pay for mass amounts of good reviews.
The people who work at Dolce are friendly, the owner did talk to me about the issue once, but there was no solution offered.
I wasted over $ 300 including a generous tip (not expected that back) and all I got was frizzy, damaged, unmanageable hair for my once in a lifetime vacation! Something wasn’t done correctly, whether the product was bad or it was stylist error, maybe the flat iron was too hot. It didn’t seem that all the hair underneath had been straightened during the process either, otherwise I would think it wouldn’t be bumpy and wavy underneath. All and all it was a disaster and it was a huge problem during my vacation, I’ve known people who have extremely curly hair who have had this treatment elsewhere and their hair is stick straight. My hair was not unmanageable before this treatment.
I would give 0 stars if I could. I’m very upset that I have basically been ignored and the Dolce did not refund my money for their mistake, that I have been given the run around for month and months despite being very kind and patient, not once did I complain in anger like most people would. I don’t have that kind of money to throw away, I spent most of my savings, leaving only $ 100 in my acct. thinking it would be worth it. it wasn’t! I had horrible hair for many months.
I wish I thought to dispute the charge instead of being kind and giving the benefit of the doubt. lesson learned.

Wes at Dolce is amazing! I’m so glad he was referred to me by a close friend. He did a cut, color and style and my hair looked its best ever! I give him the highest of recommendations.

Cris and the staff at Dolce are welcoming, friendly and talented! I enjoy my time in the salon and always feel more beautiful inside and out when I leave. My hair has never felt better… I am a keratin treatment girl… and I get the added bonus of amazing eyelash extensions. So grateful that I found this gem when I moved to Austin last year.

Wes is amazing! He is creative and knowledgable — easy going and fun to work with. I had color correction, super fine hair that was damaged. He turned it into a smooth, healthy looking glow with a cute and workable cut! Absolute wonderful and highly recommended!

I have been to Wes a few times and every time was an amazing experience. He is very knowledgeable and truly wants every single client to love their hair! I had Wes do highlights and root color on my hair and every single time I leave happier than the time before. When you talk with him you can tell how much he loves what he does and it shows in the quality of work. I love that the prices fit my budget and an appointment never takes very long, like I have experienced at other salons. I would recommend Wes to anyone!

I took my two teen daughters for haircuts. The cost was about 50 dollars each and I expected somone relatively experienced to take care of them. When one of the stylists asked the owner how to «salvage my daughters» haircut, I was furious as my daughter heard and was upset. My daughter asked the stylist what happened and was told «it was nothing».
There is nothing like trying to have a nice time with your daughter getting her haircut and then having her cry the whole way home because of bad hair and feel like its your fault.
Anyway, I took my daughter to my stylist and for another 75 dollars got it fixed after the very botched hair job.
I would not go back. For the prices they charge, they should not have stylists barely out of beauty school serving customers.

Let me start off by saying that this review is LONG overdue! I moved to Austin a few months back and was in desperate need of some hair-​therapy. I have extremely thick, frizzy and damaged hair that requires a lot of love and attention. I am SO glad I found both Dolce and my stylist, Wes! Wes treated my hair with chocolate keratin and gave me a much needed trim. To say my hair was transformed is an understatement. It was shiny, healthy, and beautiful. Ladies, please check out Dolce! All of the stylists seemed wonderful, but I absolutely adored Wes!!! It’s a no brainier that I’ve found my salon in Austin!

I just paid $ 150 for a gel mani and express pedi!!!
They took my entire $ 150 Christmas gift certificate. All of it. I should have wondered why they asked me how much my gift certificate was for when I arrived.
When I booked, I requested services FROM THEIR WEBSITE: a UT mani with gel ($ 30) and UT pedi ($ 40). This should have run me $ 70 plus tip, right? Wrong.
At the end of my mani, the receptionist and owner (serving as my nail tech) decided to ask me to pay early since the salon was closing. Fair enough.
What wasn’t fair was that they then told me I’d been magically upgraded to the deluxe gel mani and pedi and this would run me nearly my entire gift certificate. I was given no exact price, though. So floored and confused, I did mention that I’d requested the UT nail services but was too floored to haggle further.
The receptionist and owner managed to ring me up by taking my certificate fast enough but offered no receipt of any kind, no new certificate with any remainder of the original amount, nothing.
Like others have said, the people here are very nice, the owner especially. So I’m torn about writing a bad review but I was really taken for a ride and I’m pissed!
I don’t know why the owner didn’t question her receptionist about what was going on. I don’t know why the receptionist never figured out what kind of service I truly wanted, since he was confused, before my manicure was begun (30 minutes late, by the way).
I know I could call tomorrow and discuss it but I’m headed on vacation and, even if they reimbursed my gift certificate, I feel too awkward and angry to ever go back.
So, be warned. You’ll receive a wonderful mani and pedi but at quite a price.

I have never trusted any one with my hair, untill now. MJ is my hair stylist, she has my hair color and cut perfect. I only trust her with my hair. She has a wonderful personality, very beautiful and she is always a joy to talk to. I live in Pflugerville and I drive to Becaves in Austin, to have her do my hair. I would drive even farther if I had to. If you want a great cut or color see MJ. Every one at Dolce are very freindly. Every time I am in there every customer that comes in. Leaves happy with there new look.

I went in with a Groupon for a blow out and make up application on my birthday thinking I would look great for my dinner party. My blowout left my hair completely flat on my head and my makeup made me look like a drag queen. All of the foundation, browser, and contouring made my face a dark shade of orange and my eye makeup looked ridiculous. I had to go home and wash it all off and do it myself. The people were super nice but the services were terrible.

What a great place!!! I am so glad I went there. The staff is friendly and attentive! I got a color and cut with Chris, she is amazing. She did a great job. She has been doing this for a while and her mom was a stylist too so it’s in her blood and best of all, she loves her job!!! She also educated people on products. It’s not for sales it’s really for the overall good, because products she carry are organic!!! She is amazing and I am so glad I found this place!!! Thank you to all the staff, you guys are great!

Dolce is an amazing salon. I’ve had Wes do highlights and root color on my hair, and he did an excellent job. He is also incredibly friendly, and a pleasure to talk to while my hair is getting done. He takes time to get my blowout just right, and I came away happy both times.
I’ll admit that since my hair grows fast and I need roots done very often, he’s out of my price range for color now. But if you make an appointment with him, you’ll be delighted with the service and the results!

Cris is my girl! Love dolce and love Cris. They make you feel welcome. I am tired of the attitude you get at other high end salons, plus they don’t pressure you into anything here. Right off Bee Caves with plenty of parking. Cris is the most talented colorist and stylist in central Texas. I used to drive to Houston for my hair but that is a thing of the past. I would also highly recommend Wes for cut and color.

Had the Brazilian keratin treatment with Cris 6 weeks ago and am so happy with my hair!
She was very helpful in listening to my concerns as I have health issues which required me to avoid harsh chemicals. She guided me into choosing the right formula and did a wonderful job! She is very sweet and friendly and excellent at what she does! Look forward to seeing her again for a follow up!

Where do I even begin? The entire staff at Dolce is one amazing crew. I followed Wes to Dolce (he’s been working his magic on my mane for years) and I have been so abundantly pleased with the Dolce family.
It’s just a FUN place to get pampered! Facials, nails, makeup, the works! Wes is a hair guru, his techniques are superb and he truly listens to your input and needs, but also gives sound advice when you have questions. He uses Olaplex during color treatments, and once you experience the difference you will NEVER process your hair any other way. More than anything, he’s sparkly, sweet, and makes you look forward to your time in his chair. He’ll quickly become one of your favorite people, I know it!
BIG BONUS: They use Kevin Murphy products, and offer a HUGE variety of high quality hair products for you to take home and keep your hair salon-​perfect.
Don’t be basic. Be Dolce!

I was living in California for years and I had a lady who I would trust my first born child with because she was that good at making my hair breathtakingly incredible. Anybody who came next had some serious shoes to fill. Wes was that man!
So I will start by saying that when I called to inquire about hair extensions I was pleasantly surprised by the lengthy time taken to explain each type that they offer.
Wes explained to me that because I requested fusion he would like to do a consultation to make sure we ordered the right color. After some thought I decided tape extensions were more in my price range so I went with the brand they offer which is Hot Heads. Needless to say Wes is incredible and not even my mother can find the seam between my hair and the extensions. (She’s a hair nazi)
I also had my eyelashes done by krys and she was a godsend I didn’t have to wear mascara for a month!
Dolce is the best salon I have been at since moving back to Texas and their hair and eye lash extension services can’t be explained by and word in the dictionary so far so incredible will just have to do!
