5 /5 ryan miller: Harlow Beauty and Hair Salon: A Luxe Retreat in the Heart of Austin
If you’re looking for a salon that’s more than just a place to get your hair done—somewhere that feels like a retreat, a sanctuary, and a little slice of luxury in the middle of Austin—Harlow Beauty and Hair Salon is the place. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel like you’re in expert hands.
Let’s talk about one of the absolute best parts of the Harlow experience: the eye masks and the shampoo/conditioning massage. I mean, WOW. If you thought washing your hair was just a routine step, think again. The moment you sink into their comfortable shampoo chairs, you’re transported into pure relaxation mode. The gentle weight of the eye mask helps you fully disconnect, while the scalp massage melts away every ounce of tension. It’s the kind of thing you don’t realize you need in your life until you experience it—after that, there’s no going back.
And then there’s Herta, an absolute gem and a true artist in her craft. Whether you’re coming in for a fresh cut, a color transformation, or just a refresh, she somehow always seems to know exactly what you need. She listens, advises, and delivers results that make you feel like the best version of yourself. Plus, her attention to detail and genuine passion for what she does make every appointment feel like catching up with an old friend—except you leave with flawless hair.
Harlow isn’t just a salon; it’s an experience. The little details—the relaxing ambiance, the friendly and skilled stylists, and those legendary shampoo massages—set it apart from anywhere else. If you haven’t booked an appointment yet, do yourself a favor and make one now. Your hair (and your stress levels) will thank you.
