A couple of years ago, I decided that I needed to actually find a colorist to do my hair instead of crossing my fingers with the Sally’s do-it-yourself approach. I had a dark red that I wanted to bring back to something close to my own color with a few foils just for fun. This is an Aveda salon, so you get what you expect from Aveda. The products and services are fantastic, but you should be prepared to pay for what you get. I alternate between doing just base color and then base plus highlights every other trip, which leaves me paying just under a hundred to just over a hundred each time. I used to balk at paying that much to get my hair done, but when it comes to color I just can’t see screwing around with it. Elaine is the master stylist that I go to, but all of the stylists there seem to know their stuff. There is not a lot of turnover in staff either, which I always take as a sign that employees are being treated right. Everyone is always friendly without hovering. My husband gets his hair cut here too and he has always been very happy with the results. It’s a big city salon out in the hill country, so if you are looking to save yourself some extra driving, don’t hesitate to book an appointment at the Spring Branch K Charles. You’ll get the same Aveda salon experience you’d get anywhere else.
