West Salon By Leah

Thank you to the wonderfully kind and sweet ladies at WEST Salon By Leah! My mom was recently going through high dose radiation and had a large, uncomfortable catheter sitting just above her pectoral muscle. She had not been able to wash her hair in 5 days. We tried to wash her hair at home, but every position we tried struck her with severe pain. We decided to take a shot at West Salon By Leah to see if they could fit her in for a wash. Not only were they happy to fit her in their busy schedule, but they did it free of charge. I can’t thank these ladies enough for putting a smile on my mom’s face. It’s the little things in life that makes others feel good on the inside & out, especially in a time of pain.
On another note, I saw a friend of mine walking out and her hair looked fabulous! I will be going back to get my hair done :-)!

I got my hair done my Leah, she did an amazing job fixing my hair. I was going to a different salon and the chick who did my hair had a baby and I also moved to a different part of Austin and needed a new place quick! Everyone at the salon was awesome and nice. They have the best sinks to wash your hair in as well!!! It’s not the bowl shape ones that you have to position yourself uncomfortably so they can wash the stuff out of your hair, they are more flat so you can easily lay your head back and sit comfortably.

The moment you walk in you are greeted by a friendly staff. The manager, Nicole, made me feel at home and offered my son and I our beverage of choice. I don’t know about you, but enjoying a cold beer before a haircut is pretty cool.
My son and I were lucky enough to get Deborah to cut our hair. My son went first and was comfortable in Deborah’s chair throughout the entire haircut.(This does not happen anywhere for this kid) I sat down after my son and it ended up being the best haircut ever. Everything from the actual cut itself to the exhilarating shampoo and head massage. I have since received multiple compliments on my hair. The atmosphere here is great and you can tell that the stylists have a special bond with the clients. I highly recommend that you give West Salon By Leah a shot! I will be back every two weeks moving forward.

Went in once and got an ok cut. Went in again to give it another shot. First of I was given an appointment time when no one was in the salon… Figured it was a mistake so I waited. I asked to have my current cut cleaned up and my neckline cleaned up. The girl I was scheduled with said she wasn’t comfortable and passed me off to another lady. She did go ahead and wash and dry my hair while I waited… I was then asked to come back later in the day because she didn’t have time then… So weird. Don’t think I’ll be going back.

My son and I are pretty picky when it comes to our hair and Leah never let’s us down. Fast, friendly and affordable. We recomend this salon to all our friends! Hope you open more locations out farther West!

I have had Leah cutting my hair for the last 6 years since moving to Austin. Even when she is unable to cut my hair, I can depend on any of the stylist in her Saloon to provide the same level of cut. (Well… maybe not as good as Leah. but you know!) The Salon is very down to earth and everyone is so friendly making your time a pleasant one. Recommend this Salon to everyone I can.

Clean, sophisticated, and inviting are only the beginning positive attributes of West!
BACKSTORY: I moved here from Portland, Oregon, several months ago, my long hair that I’ve had for a number of years, in tow. As my concerns about handling the heat and humidity increased this last month, I was nervous about finding a hairstylist having had some bad experiences and cuts (probably one of the reasons my hair grew so long anyway).
I did some research and found West salon, conveniently located for me and well reviewed, I decided to give it a try! SO glad I did! Even when I called and asked umpteen questions, Shirley was super helpful and understanding about my concerns about cutting off my long hair.
Hope was my stylist! She was fantastic! She listened. She asked questions. She was concerned about lopping off my long tresses because she cared about my beautiful hair, but did anyway, and in the end, I got the most fantastic cut I’ve ever had! I’m transformed and completely in love (and a heck of a lot cooler) with my new cut.

If you’re a male that is looking for someone that does a great job styling men’s hair I personally recommend Debra.

WEST Salon is hands-​down the best hair salon in the Four Points and surrounding areas! Before WEST even opened, Leah was my girl and since opening, I’ve had my hair cut and highlighted by every stylist in the place and I’ve never been disappointed. Look no further if you are in need of a trustworthy hair salon, WEST is your place!

Atmosphere is nice. I arrived on time and waited over 20 minutes. Almost 4 hours in, and I was told that I would have to wait for stylist to finish someone else for cut. Never had a hair cut and highlight take so long. I do not have that kind of patience.

The first thing I noticed is that the interior of the salon was comfortably arranged — unlike most places that feel like a doctor’s office, there was a cosy sitting area that felt like Martha Stewart had been by recently. This great hospitality proved to be a fortunate trend. Even though me and my companion showed up as walk-​ins close to closing, Debra made accommodations for both of us.
The haircut itself I’m very happy with, and I’m even happier with the service — so much so I even booked my next appointment in advance.
I would definitely recommend this salon for any men looking for a great haircut with amazing service. Quick, easy, enjoyable and also very inexpensive.

I’ve been to West several times now and recommend it to everyone. Make an appointment with Sam– You will not regret it.

I love these folks! Last May, I decided I wanted to chop off and donate 8 inches of my hair, and Leah made sure I was comfortable with it first. She suggested adding layers, but told me that I should get used to the short hair for a few weeks before she did. Samantha has also done some of my trims, and she’s fantastic too. The salon is clean and comfortable, and all the folks working in there are super sweet and welcoming.

I’m new to Austin. Got here about a month ago, and it was time for a haircut. I searched for places by my apartment and found West Salon. Was just gonna go to a chain shop like sports clips or something, but decided to give this place a shot based on the Unilocal reviews and because I’d rather support a small business too. Now back home I always had my haircut by my mom who’s been a hairdresser since I could remember so there were some lofty expectations walking in here and I wasn’t sure they could be met, lol.
Well I showed up for my appointment and was greeted by my stylist Deborah. For 25 bucks I got an awesome cut and all my worries were gone by the time she was done. She was awesome and super nice, really easy to talk to also. She fulfilled my expectations and then some. She is a magician with scissors and a perfectionist, my hair has some wild cowlicks and can be hard to manage and she knew exactly how to cut it to make it do what I wanted. She really enjoys what she does and it shows when your walking out the door with a sharp fresh cut. She takes her time to make sure every part of your hair is perfect. I’ll be going to Deborah from now on as long as I live in Austin, I can’t recommend her enough.

Leah is quite simply the best men’s hairstylist I have ever had. She is talented, professional, and can suggest subtle changes or complete transformations that will suit you. Or she can cut your hair consistently every time. Plus– everyone who works there is welcoming and the salon is comfortable. Can’t recommend Leah and West Salon enough!
P. S. they are great with kids as well!

Leah and Debra have cut my hair for years, great to seeing them jumping out on their own. Highly recommend them both

Samantha and Leah are both great stylists and the new salon is really nice.
Most recently I brought my 5 year old daughter in because she had attempted to cut her own hair. Samantha saved the day and my daughter ended up with a very cute haircut. Everybody has been raving about how adorable it is! The only downside is that she won’t learn the «why we don’t cut our own hair» lesson because it turned out so awesome.
I highly recommend both of these ladies.

Great hair place (for men and women) run by a great person! Leah has been cutting my hair for several years now and I’m happy to see her create and open her own place. Leah has always appeared to have high standards when it comes to customer service and I have no doubt that the staff she’s assembled, will be top notch — although, no one touches my hair but her! So, if you’re looking for service, quality and a clean new facility, look no further, it’s in The Trails at 620.

Samantha did an awesome job on my hair and I really enjoyed my experience. Leah is building a great place. It’s very nice and comfortable. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a new hairdresser and salon.

I’m a guy and I use to buzz my hair but I found myself in an industry that it was important to make a very professional first impression.
I started going to Sam over a year ago at a different salon and she’s the only person I allow to cut my hair cause she is that good. I’m in/​out quick and it’s not painful for my wallet.
I followed Sam to West Salon and the place is really coming together. The renovations are fantastic and I can’t wait to see the finished products.
I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality hair cut that wont break the bank to go check out West Salon. I won’t get my hair cut anywhere else.
–Very Happy Customer
