Mint

Amazing service from Jody! She dyed my hair platinum and took every step to ensure it would remain healthy. She also did a great job cutting and styling my hair. This place is awesome

I got my haircut from Allie, who is amazing! I look great and I got a free beer (good beer, too)… I loved everything about this place. Will definitely keep coming back! Highly recommend!

Great space, great people, and great service. This is a must when searching for a salon but how I feel after I go home and wash my hair after the salon is what brings me back to Mint. I’ve never felt comfortable blowing out my own hair but Allie shaped it so well that I don’t always have to go for the straightener. This means a lot to me because my hair is long, thick, and wavy. It takes so long to dry it and then use a straightener. Now, I blow my hair out, twist it in a very low, loose bun as I finish putting on my makeup, and let it loose as I walk out the door. I look and feel great!

I cannot say enough good things about Jen Patton — she is a damn genius. For the past 20 or so years I have had waist-​length, box-​dyed black hair. Now that I’m in my mid-​thirties I wanted to move towards a more stylish ‘do and lighten up the black. She has taken me from shitty box dye to a mutli-​faceted caramel so gorgeous that strangers stop me on the street and ask about my hair color. I also recently decided to chop my long hair off and go with an a-​line lob, which she helped me choose. I was really nervous to cut my hair since the last time I cut anything significant, I looked like a 1980s PTA mom on a bad hair day after missing Donahue in the morning. Not. Good.
Now, I have famous people hair. I have beachy waves. I have a sleek lob. I have whatever the hell I want because Jen’s haircuts fall perfectly and suit your hair texture (as well as the amount of laziness you wish to achieve). My selfie game has been changed. I’ve had to buy new clothes for work because my hair is too goddamned amazing for the Old Navy Office crap I was wearing before. I HAVE A BAUBLEBAR SUBSCRIPTION NOW. I have to accessorize the rest of my head because my hair is so distracting.
I got a promotion at work. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Wanted to get a new cut but needed professional advice on what to do. Didn’t want to cut it too short but also wanted some body. I got with Jody and she did wonders. Did a nice fresh chop on my layers and gave me better recommendations then what I wanted to do. Will probably go back for a color next. A bit pricey but they are professionals so they know what they are doing.

Danann is the best at anything hair. Cut, color, style, you name it, she can do it. I have finicky curly hair that will do crazy things when not layered right and I am even finickier about how it’s cut. She’s given me the best haircuts I’ve ever had and her work with color is spot on.

We all know how devastating the wrong haircut can be. Sure it will grow out but unfortunately you’re the one that has to walk around with it for the next month.
The first cut I received was not good, nor what I asked for and ran me $ 80. A too short, traditional stacked bob (from the 80s). Something you would expect from Supercuts or a beauty college student.
The management of this salon handled my dissatisfaction very well.
Long story short, I did go back to original stylist to attempt a fix but somehow it just got worse. Management listened to me and offered a refund or to set me up with another stylist at no charge. Allie to the rescue. She listened and worked with what I had and changed the shape by using a razor and didn’t take off too much more length. Thank you Allie!

I literally pass this place everyday, so being new to Austin and still searching for that great salon/​day spa place, I wanted to give Mint a try after seeing the great 5 star reviews.
I will have to say the two services I received, on two different visits (I wanted to see if I just came on an «off» day, so I waited till I had two visits under my belt before writing a review), were worthy of 4 or 5 stars. I felt the pricing was fair, $ 60 for a non-​junior stylist hair cut and $ 20 for an eyebrow wax. That being said, I found that my hair stylist and my eyebrow waxing technician were competent but not friendly, warm or welcoming. I could tell that both employees wanted me in and out of their chairs as quickly as possible. I think what gave my hair stylist away was her lurking behind the reception desk when I cashed out so she could collect her tip, car keys in hand, jacket on, ready to get the heck out of Dodge.
Again, I do want to emphasize that the services I received were very high quality and I’ve been enjoying them. I could tell their stylists are extremely competent but their «bed side» manner leaves a lot to be desired. Based on the later, I will still be looking for my go-​to salon and day spa.

I always feel confident with my haircut, and that has helped me with my career! Kristi is fantastic, she always has a story of adventure to share.

Got a huge haircut (way more than 6 inches cut off) and Dannon was really great about talking me through the cut and helping me decide exactly what I wanted. She was so kind about checking in with me throughout the cut because getting a lot of hair chopped off can be nerve wracking. To top it all off — I love my hair! It’s super short now and I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Great place to get your eyebrows waxed and shaped! I worked with Jen and she was able to shape my eyebrows the way I asked and gave me tips for maintaining them. The salon’s atmosphere is really fun and cute! The staff is really friendly!

Melissa Titus is the best! I first met her over 7 years ago when she styled my hair for my wedding and I’ve been a regular ever since for haircuts. I trust her completely with my hair and basically just show up and let her do her magic. Each time she spins me around for the grand reveal I’m amazed with how good she makes my hair look. But my absolute favorite part is she does a 2 minute scalp massage that is pure heaven. Mint is a great salon that is open and sunny and cozy. All the staff, especially the gals working the front desk, are genuinely friendly and happy.

I have been to a few places here in Austin and have left the salons angry and full of regret. This is the first time I have ever left a salon feeling like a million bucks. I am so happy with my hair color. I have been to this salon twice and have requested Melissa both times. She is the only stylist that has actually listened to what I say and each time I go, my hair ends up looking even better than I expected it to look in the first place. She knows what she is doing and is very patient. Thank you, Melissa! You are amazing.

I would HIGHLY recommend Mint! I love my haircut and the experience was perfect. They’re very laidback but still attentive. I barely waited at all in the lobby before I was getting my hair washed. Kenny somehow managed to do exactly what I wanted with my hair despite me being incredibly vague/​not really knowing how to articulate the look I was going for. Even though it was my first time going to him, I felt so comfortable with him immediately that I let him take off five inches! If that’s not a winning endorsement, I don’t know what is haha.

Mint came highly recommended to me by a friend, and it met every expectation! The salon is beautiful, the people are friendly and talented, and Jody did an amazing job fixing my hair after a disastrous encounter with the Aveda school for a trim. If anything, just go to experience a hair wash, aka therapeutic head massage!

Love the staff at Mint! Jen’s been doing my hair for years, and she just recently started cutting my son’s hair. Highly recommend Jen and Mint!

I went in to Mint several times last year. I have long, thick hair that seems to have a mind of its own and wanted a cut that would allow me some versatility. I’ve seen a few different stylists, and ultimately was impressed by each. They’ve always helped me figure out a look that works for both my style and my care routine. Love this place. After recently moving back to Austin, I can’t wait to get back.

Got my hair colored yesterday by Allie! Literally best I’ve ever seen my hair look! So excited to rock my new hair for my wedding coming up next weekend. Can proudly say I want her as my color gal forever!

UNPROFESSIONAL.
I would not recommend this salon to anyone.
I sat in a chair for 4 hours & 45 minutes for highlights, lowlights, & a trim. I had told the colorist the EXACT process & formula that my former salon had done. She chose to do a diferent process, but assured me that the results would be the same. After a long day in the salon, my roots were still dark. There was a crown of dark roots on my head. When I questioned her, the stylist told me that my hair «would get lighter in 3 weeks» and advised me that my «roots were too long to go as blond as I wanted to be.» I wondered why she hadn’t mentioned this before she started coloring my hair. When the process was finished, I spoke with the manager. I advised that I was unhappy with the service & would need corrective coloring. The manager denied that there was any problem with the dye job and took a phone call while I stood upset at the front desk. The manager repeated that my roots could not be taken any lighter & that I should get my «hair done more frequently if I want to be that blond.». She then told me to stay there while she spoke with the stylist. I stepped outside to take a breather & overheard the manager & stylist loudly talking about me unkindly. I found this completely unprofessional. I was horrified. I went to my car and called the salon to advise that I would pay only for the cut and not the color. I advised the owner that I heard her speaking unkindly about me with the colorist. The conversation was not pleasant. I felt that myy voice was not heard.
Maybe my color would have turned out if my colorist hadn’t been texting and having a nice visit with her friend who stopped in while she was WORKING.
I went to SALON INTUITIONS in the Triangle and got corrective coloring and my hair now looks amazing. They easily fixed the error and were very kind and understanding.

Go to Melissa Titus. She is a hair expert! I have ridiculous waves in my hair and she is able to cut them so they look beautiful! If you have thick wavy hair you know what a pain it is to find a stylist who can cut your hair. After many failed attempts at finding someone who could cut my hair I found Melissa by asking a complete stranger who cut her hair (her hair was so cute!). I followed her to Mint from Modesty and am a customer for life!
I recently started adding highlights and she is great at blending them in to look natural.
So if you’re sick of your hair, go to Melissa. She’ll whip it into something good!
