Services
A Maximum FX haircut begins with an Aveda Stress Relieving Scalp Massage, an expert customized consultation and a precision cut. We also offer complimentary stress relieving treatments and hand massages. All are a part of your regular visit. Please note that some hair types require additional time, such as thicker, longer or more textured.
HeadMapping is an operational color system that allows our salon to deliver consistent color services through creative technical standards. We are serious about color and understand how important results are to you and what great consistent hair color can do for you mentally, emotionally and physically.
Waxing is the fastest, most efficient method of temporary hair removal. Over a long period of time, it causes a thinning and lessening of hair re-growth and extends the period of time between waxing treatments. Experience the pleasure of Aveda's soothing plant and flower based products before and after to minimize any sensitivities.
Would you moisturize with petroleum? Enjoy the sweet smell of methyl-octine-carbonate? Accentuate your eyes with a coat of tar? Aveda's products are grown from a simple premise: what you put on your body should be as healthy and natural as what you'd put into it. That's why we use plant-derived ingredients, organically grown whenever possible. With the active energy of plants, we have with the natural ability to soothe, invigorate and refresh. That's something no synthetic can imitate.

You have a lovely kind staff who always makes the visit so enjoyable. Your salon is always so beautiful, very clean and well kept. Javier who has been doing my hair for over 13 years now continues to always be on point with exactly how I like my haircut. I always leave my appointment feeling like a beautiful new woman! You know a place is pretty amazing if you're still going to it after 13 years.
I think that says something. I also get my hair colored by an amazing colorist Christian who also does fantastic work. Maximum does a great job of finding quality talent staff who appreciates their job and customers.

I came to maximum fx salon for a hair cut while in Austin on vacation. My hair was soooo long that it was getting in the way of me enjoying the trip actually- so my boyfriend made an appointment here to get it cut. Everyone I interacted with was highly professional and polite, from the front desk assistant Catherine, to my stylist Sabrina. I was so embarrassed about my hair looking like a rat's nest, but Sabrina made me feel right at home, not judging me but instead offering me solutions and assuring me that she'd have me looking beautiful in no time.
I was really grateful for their expertise, kindness, and teamwork (since it took two stylists to brush out my hair at one point!). I only wish there were locations of this salon in my state because if so I'd go back in a heartbeat! And, next time I'm in Austin I'm absolutely going back here for a cut. I highly recommend you checking them out!

I always look forward to my appointments at Max FX S. Lamar. From the hand massages, facial hot towel wraps, and white wine, they offer so much more than the average salon. Sabrina is great working with my hair, and always does an awesome job on my makeup. Christian is a fantastic colorist, and I love that they have a policy to 'fix' anything you're not completely satisfied with after a week.
The front desk staff is very helpful and friendly, and the salon itself is beautiful with a lot of natural light. I never feel like anyone is snobby- in fact, everyone is very down to earth and makes me feel at home. Highly recommend.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value I went to Maximum FX for the first time this weekend for a haircut and loved everything about it! Everyone was so welcoming and my stylist made sure to continually check in with me to make sure everything was to my liking! Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back!

This was my first time to the salon since I moved to the POST. I came here because it was downstairs and I had a New Client coupon - my friend picked it up for me and said it was a really nice place and the staff was nice. I booked with Natasha, and she couldn't have been nicer or more helpful in deciding on a new, very short hair style - coming from long straight hair. The new style is a success and I'm already excited to have Natasha coiffe another new do! Thank you!

Sabrina is absolutely amazing! She was so friendly and made sure I was completely comfortable the entire time. I usually hate having to find a new salon but Maximum FX made my experience so much better. From when I first walked in I was greeted with a smile and offered a beverage while I waited. Sabrina took the time to get to know me and my style, she was helpful but not pushy.
I got a relaxing complementary scalp massage, Sabrina showed me how to style my hair and let me practice a little to make sure I could recreate the salon look at home too. Overall, I'm so happy with how my hair turned out and the amount of time and care the entire staff puts in to make you feel pampered. I've already booked my next appointment!
