Smart Style - Regis Corp Smart Style Sux Austin Texas

You know how you want your hair to do so get some sharp scissors, a comb and a clipper and learn how to chop.

Good luck.

In Austin, there is so much price gouging going on because of all of the yuppies and rich college kids, you'll be lucky to find a place that will charge you a reasonable price to cut your hair.

May I recommend an older lady who still has her own salon on Woodrow. She is amazing and when she puts a perm in your hair -- it STAYS! She has been at it quite a while and she knows what she is doing. ( And she does NOT get high on anything!)

I hate that you got a lousy service from a Smart Style employee. It was very unprofessional of her to be out of the salon and not be prepared for the cut. It's even against company policy for a stylist to leave a shop unattended to.
But I do know some stylists who work for Smart Style and they are EXCELLENT.

Just because it's located inside a Wal-Mart, Peter, doesn't mean you're doomed to get a bad haircut. I guess all of those salons that charge $40 for a simple trim are WAY better, huh? Yeah, right. My last botch job was FROM a pricier salon, so take that theory and stick it. It's all about the stylist and his or her abilities (or lack thereof), NOT the salon. Always trust your gut: if it's telling you to leave, then leave.

... when you entrust someone at Walmart to cut your hair! Seriously now, read the complaints on this board in reference to Smart Styles. There are MANY -- much more so than any other value-based salon chain. Buyer beware!
