The Best Salons in the City

A curated guide to Austin's top-rated hair and beauty salons.

Hair · Curl Specialists

Austin Curl

4300 N Quinlan Park Rd #200, Austin, TX 78732

Tucked into Steiner Ranch, Austin Curl is built around a single, well-honed idea: curly and textured hair deserves a specialist, not an afterthought. The studio's hill-country setting feels worlds away from the downtown rush, which suits a service that rewards patience — proper curl shaping is slow work, done right.

Why You Must Go

If your curl pattern has spent years fighting a one-size-fits-all cut, this is the reset. Expect a consultation that actually treats your texture as the starting point, not a complication.

Velvet Touch

2013 Wells Branch Parkway, Suite 108, Austin, TX 78728

Velvet Touch has built a loyal Wells Branch following on a simple promise: clean, high-quality care without the upsell. Threading, brow tint, brow lamination, facials, lash lifts, and waxing all live under one roof here, with a personalized touch that regulars say is hard to find elsewhere in North Austin.

Why You Must Go

The $99 full-body wax combo is the kind of value that gets talked about, and the on-trend Korean lash lift has become a quiet specialty worth booking ahead for.

Why You Must Go

Transparent pricing, a genuinely welcoming room, and an eco-conscious ethos make Method Hair a standout on the East Side — especially for custom color and curl work.
