Crystal cut my hair after a couple of years of not caring at all about it, it was super long and damaged, she was amazing and really brought it back to life! I have loose curly hair so it's hard to find someone who understands how all that works when it dries or is wet, she was wonderful and made me feel very safe, I'm super happy with the outcome. Great salon and highly recommend crystal!

Great atmosphere and skilled stylists who take the time to consult and discuss options. Very impressed with Natalie's attention to detail and the whole team's seamless operation.

Maybe this just applies to mens haircuts, but the women who cut my hair had absolutely no idea what she was doing (she also charged like $100). I felt as though this place was kind of a scam. Response to reply: please note that I wrote this under an anonymous email as I don't want to reveal my identity (that is why you don't have a client profile with this name). The reason I did this was because of an earlier review that warned against providing negative feedback.

Natalie did my hair and she is amazing! She always makes me feel so pretty and fabulous. I love her! The salon is a great vibe and so just beautiful and light! 10/10!

UPDATE: staff was so accommodating with a refund. So helpful and quick. I appreciated their understanding much! The staff members are SO friendly and booking was easy, salon was gorgeous and clean. Im really not happy with my cut by Jessie, they were super super nice and personable but my layers look like my hair is one part chin length hair and one part extensions. I didn't notice how not blended the pieces were until I took my first shower. I wish I could get a refund as I'm definitely going to need to get it fixed.

My first few haircuts at method hair were great. Sofia did an amazing job on my hair. However, this time I changed my stylist and I am repenting my visit here. I asked for a particular style and midway the stylist tells me she has no experience doing that style. I was on the chair for 3 hours and barely left with any hair on my head since we tried doing a lot of damage control.

Very disappointed and it's going to take me a few months to like my hair again. This place has great stylists but they need to discuss the clients preference before hand and make sure they can do it, else not go ahead with the appointment.

Sarah and Jesse are both amazing at working with wavy/curly hair. So excited I found them! The location has easy parking, the space is cute, the staff is friendly and talented, and the pricing is good (rates vary per stylist and pricing is available on the website). I love being to be book online, as well! Getting color done this week and excited to see final results.

Recently booked a day before appointment, went in very nervous but knew every stylist is incredibly talented. Without fail- BEST haircut experience ever. From the talent you're having work on your hair, to the products and atmosphere! Crystal Seeds was my operating stylist, and with just a description and an idea from words she brought my hair back to life!

I am so thankful and couldn't recommend her, and the salon as a whole, enough! Thank you so much Crystal for making me feel confident and more myself walking out of your establishment! This place is so amazing. Definitely will be back!

Terrible service. Charged me $65 for canceling due to sickness during a pandemic. I spoke to the manager, who was extremely rude, and she claimed I was scheduled for an adult haircut with a stylist who doesn't do kids cuts, yet I scheduled for my five year old child.

Well.mixed reviews and thoughts here. I LOVE Method Hair and have been going here since around 2017/2018, when they were at their last location. They've done everything from full process color to balayage on me, and I've loved it every time. Until last October. They had lost the note of the usual brown we use on my hair, so we had to select a new one.and accidentally went wayyyyy too red. Im also not entirely convinced it wasn't permanent dye vs demi permanent. Regardless, red.red is a lesson learned.

At the time, they just said "oops!" and covered it up with a deep dark ash brown. For some reference, I'm a natural dirty blonde/bronde. When that darker Demi began to wash out, that red was still underneath. So, went back for another deep dark demi brown. Again, it started to wash out (as it's supposed to) and I was getting tired are that red.

The stylist mentioned we could use a color remover, and I thought "nice, ok, goodbye red." Nope. Nope not at all. In the salon after two rinses of the remover, it didn't look too bad, but this morning in the day light. I am a full on ginger, minus my bronde roots. All the remover did was take out the remaining brown I had in my hair. I reallyyyy don't have the skin tone for a ginger lol.

At this point, I'm going to need to go to a blonde specialist to try to get back to even a hint of my natural hair. I smell my first ever bleach treatment coming unfortunately. Which is frustrating, but (expensive) lesson learned. Luckily hair grows back, and in a year or two that red will have grown out and be gone forever. Just wish we could have actually worked harder to actually fix it. But I'm a little wary of this salon now, as the attempt to fix really only made it worse and cost me money I'll need to try to actually fix it.

Didn't see any prices listed for mens haircuts from the Services menu on Google. Booked an appointment thinking it would be reasonable. Went in and got a pretty basic trim, nothing special. Went to pay and I was being charged $130. Explained to the manager that I was completely unaware how expensive it would be and that the price wasn't listed for mens haircuts. Kindly asked if there was anything they could do to help.

She told me it is what it is and I should have asked for the price when I got there. Any decent business would have offered some sort of discount to help offset the price since I clearly wouldn't have booked with them if I understood the pricing, and that information was not listed in their services menu.

I wished my hair would grow three times faster to come here three times more. I have wavy hair and always go to Doug for a new inspiration, a new hair cut, twice I gave him a few words and he knew exactly where to take us. Method Hair has great staff, fun decoration and the head massage is +++. I thought the best hair dressers were in my hometown, Paris, but let me tell you this one is the best I have ever been to. Perks: alcohol and great conversation.

This was my first visit at Method Hair and I had a great experience with Jordan! She cut my hair exactly how I wanted it, was very informative and gave me a great scalp massage as well! Having your hair cut by someone new to you can be a nerve wracking experience but Jordan made me feel very comfortable and communicated with me the whole time. I'll happily go back!

I am the worst person when it comes to getting haircuts. Maybe I'm the only one, but I always end up leaving feeling like an ashamed shorn sheep. I visited Method for the first time today and had an amazing experience. Lacey was very caring, and listened to what I wanted from my cut. I'd probably pay $60 for just her head/scalp massage alone!

I have been seeing Sofia for many years. My parents live in Austin, so anytime I fly in for the holidays or any bigger trips I make an appointment to see her. I book my flight and I book my hair appointment right after. Sofia absolutely understands my hair vision every single time. She is so fun to talk to, but more importantly she does incredible work.

The most memorable time was when she did a complete color correction on my accidentally orange hair from another salon, never judging the entire time. Ever since for four years, I have been flying in to see her. She's the best! And so is Method Salon.

Sophia was AMAZING! She fit me into her already packed schedule so that I could look fantastic on my graduation day! She listened to all my ideas and created the perfect cut. I got so many compliments!

2 stars because the first stylist I had was fantastic and gave me the best style I have ever had. She left and I went to someone new, who was good but also soon left. But the last time I went (Jan 2021) the 3rd stylist not only forgot to cut my hair and I had to remind her as she walked me out, but there was a long chunk left when she hurried through it.

A single color and terrible cut cost $260 before tip. The color looked good though. I hate leaving bad reviews when I am sure there are other good stylists there who I want to do well, but I have never paid anywhere near that amount for such a basic appointment. They charged a much more reasonable rate before 2021.

Great experience with Crystal. She was thorough when explaining the process and what she was doing next. Made me feel as comfortable as possible during these COVID times. I wasn't decisive about what I wanted and she helped me figure out the best path forward. Her head massage was also killer.

I recently cut my bangs and on a one month trip to Austin I realized I desperately needed a bang trim. Sarah was kind enough to give me one. What a down to earth, kind, humble being! If I lived in Austin, Method Hair would definitely be my salon. Also, my bangs look amazing and my husband can't stop complimenting them. Thank you Sarah!

I have been trying to get my curtain bangs to sit right for like two years and with just one cut, Erin M made it happen. A week later they still look great, I'm freaking out!

This is a first for me, as I never write reviews, but I feel obligated to warn future customers. I came in for a partial balayage with Erin. The estimated cost I was given was $125-$175. I payed $305 (without tip which I regretfully gave), for hair above the shoulder. When I questioned this, I was told partial balayage was $235 and Erin added a gloss, without asking me, that cost an extra $70.

My hair looks great, don't get me wrong. But was it worth the price? Absolutely not. I might have felt better if Erin was more customer-oriented. I spent 3 hours there and she spoke probably ten words to me. It felt like she was annoyed by my presence. which is strange since I tried to have conversation with her like you typically would at a salon.

On the bright side, the gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and kind. But sadly that is not enough to forgive the ridiculous prices and lack of customer service on the stylist's end.

Amanda is a magical hair sorceress. She listened to what I wanted, 100% understood my vision and gave me a cut that was more than I could have imagined. All of the staff were taking COVID safety very seriously and I felt totally safe with their precautions. Austin and Paige are also awesome and made my visit perfect. Thank you!

I NEVER write reviews on anything - check my history. I did a consultation with the lovely of lovelys, Sarah, and she made my hair FRESH. I walk with a different confidence now. I make an impact in any environment. Hands absolutely down the best experience in Austin for getting your hair did.and I done did the research! I am so unbelievable pleased with the outcome - oh yeah, the staff is rad af too. But wow. this place is.the.truth.!

Sofia is a genius! She cut my wavy hair into a stylish, low maintenance long-ish bob and I couldn't be happier. I moved to town recently, and this was my first haircut since lockdown - I just wanted a superb haircut and boy did she deliver!

Got my haircut by Crystal today- absolutely loved the experience. Crystal was super nice and helped me figure out what to do with my hair. Also- her head massage was SO good I needed a tension release from my head and that did the trick. They've implemented increased sanitation and contactless payment due to covid and provide anyone without a mask with one! I felt super safe going here to get my haircut and I will definitely come again! Thanks Crystal!

I've been going to Michelle at Method for nearly 3 years. I am picky, picky, picky about both my cut and my color but, she gets me, even when I fail to articulate what I want. And, she is honest with me if I ask for something that's dated or just wrong for me. At first glance, the salon appears to be an ultra-cool, hipstery place but there is no attitude whatsoever - everyone is so nice. Also, the prices are reasonable - not cheap - but reasonable.

What a great experience I had today. If you read my reviews on hair salons and barbers, you might see that I'm pretty picky and that I always have trouble finding good ones in the US. As I was currently located in Austin and this salon was right across the street, I couldn't but try it out. I made an appointment with Dough without knowing any history.

Within the first minutes, I knew I had a professional here. Doug is very knowledgeable about his work and took his time and expertise to the next level. We had a great chat about a variety of subjects. Every step that he took in cutting my hair, he explained very well and the reasons why he was doing it. It might have been one of my longest hair cuts but the result can be seen. Walking to the register I was a bit afraid of the total price but surprisingly it was very decent which added to the experience. They also offer complimentary trims during hair cuts which I'm definitely going to take advantage of because that is mostly why I wait three months to get my hair cut.

Life changing. Sarah and her team are amazing. My 16yr old son went in for a transformation haircut but it was so much more. He has recently had a big loss and high anxiety and needed a good haircut to help cope with his hair angst. Sarah is the hair-teen dude whisperer. She listened and took the time to really see what he wanted.10 inches of love/hate hair gone and my kid has got some joy back.

I feel it was complete kismet to have found Method Hair. Chingri made us immediately feel welcomed and when this mom teared up after watching all his hair be cut, she was there with a pretty damn good mimosa. We donated his hair that was cut and feel so good about that too. Trust me when I say don't think twice about another salon. This is the only one that matters. We found our hair home FOREVER!I'm next! Brandi&Zane

First time to visit Method Hair but not my first time to see Doug Mesh. Love the atmosphere, I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was offered a beverage. It's clean, edgy, and you can tell everyone who works there loves what they do!

Sarah was amazing. She understood my hair type and was able to cut and treat my curls with ease. My curls look refreshed and my layers look great. She even gave me some great advice on how to care for my "misunderstood" hair type (as Sarah called it). Everyone here is friendly and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable while there. Thank you to everyone there. I look forward to returning next month.

If you have any doubts about booking an appointment at Method., just go for it because you will not be disappointed. I have had 2 different stylists on my CRAZY mane (photos attached) and they nail it every time. Not only has the balayage been on point every time, but each time I leave I have a newfound knowledge on a product/technique that helps my curls majorly! Yes, it is expensive but you really get what you pay for, quality product, friendly hairstylists and the rare (at least for me) feeling of pure happiness when leaving the salon. Shoutout to Crystal who colored and cut me last time and left me feeling like a seventies disco queen!

After having a few disappointing salon visits at coloring my hair over the past couple of years, I really did my research looking for a good place to get my black hair into a blue ombre. I initially went in for a consultation with Michelle, who then referred me to Ashley because she specializes in fashion colors. Ashley is amazing! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her work.

The entire process for my hair took around 6 hours, so I'm so grateful for Ashley's patience and energy! While the final result didn't exactly look like my reference picture (which makes sense because I can't imagine them getting my hair bleached light enough in one session), I'm still very happy with the outcome! I've gotten so many compliments from strangers, friends and coworkers. I'm looking forward to hit up Ashley again for my next coloring job!

Yesterday I saw Sophia for the first time for a rather dramatic cut. I went from medium/long hair to a short pixie cut. Of course I had nerves, but she exudes confidence and that helped me relax. She did not rush and went slowly, taking it but by bit until we got to a length (or rather lack of length) I was thrilled with. Throughout my cut she also took the time to educate me on the products she was using on my hair and sent me home with generous samples.

The atmosphere of the salon overall is laid back, but still luxurious. Complimentary beverages are offered and parking is very easy. I highly recommend Sophia and I must give a recommendation for Jen Rische who has cut my hair before as well and is now at Method. She's a hair Jedi! They are true artists and worth every red cent (and a nice tip!) and the 30 minute drive from north Austin :D

I came in with a long overdue need for a cut/color. Jen took care of me for both - and she was fantastic! First of all, such a sweet person, and fun to talk to, and secondly - simply a stunning hairstylist. She took her time with me in both appointments, and her attention to detail made me feel confident and comfortable. I had never been here before, and I'd never felt more at ease getting my haircut.

Thank you Jen! She also ended up spending close to four hours just on my color alone to get it just right. Amazing. Though Method Hair may be a little more pricey than other options, you really are getting what you pay for. If you have waited too long for a cut/color, I say just go for it and treat yourself. Thanks again Method! I'll certainly be back
