Gallery of Salons

I went to gallery of salons & Shelly Rodriguez did my hair cut & color. I decided to get my hair done professionally because I will be a bridesmaid in a wedding in two months. I asked for a natural looking red hair (close to strawberry blonde), but I left with radical punk rocker magenta hair & I have a wedding in two months! I thought about it for a few days & decided to ask for my money back but she said she would think about it & never called me back. Shelly never apologized & said there is no telling how color will turn out. Basically that it is a mystery. I have never placed a negative review, but this was necessary. Save yourself time, money, & frustration & get your hair colored elsewhere.

Worst haircut I’ve ever gotten! I was referred to Abel for a men’s haircut, I don’t know if he only specializes in tapering because he kept asking me 100 times if I wanted it tapered. I told him I wanted a decent sizored haircut because I need to keep it professional, I asked for the spilt line where where I comb my hair, he made it super wide! Now I’m just afraid to go out in public, never coming here again. This man clearly needs better schooling.

Wow. ELAYNA really exceeded my expectations. To validate my review, I was a hair model for two years of my life, my mom and grandma both were hairstylist so I feel I know a thing or two about hair. I decided to go in for the first time and I’ve never been so happy with my color and cut, you can tell she’s got A LOT of experience, as it took her no time at all to get my hair sectioned and all the bleach distributed evenly and saturated. She knew precisely how long to let the bleach sit, and mixed it with the right levels. This lady is very skilled! Her studio space is very comfortable, she has awesome eqpt. She didn’t cut any corners with my color, treated my hair after the bleach, used toner, really took care of me. She knew exactly what products to use for pulling out the orange in my brown hair. I will absolutely, without a doubt return. Don’t be shy, book an appointment with her.

Aaaaaamazing! I’m loving my hair now! I can finally wear it down again. Thank you Kim for fixing that horrible hair cut! Go see @kim kodali at Social Lights Salon.

WOW! You can find Kim Kodali inside this Gallery of Salons.
For the past 6 years now, I’ve never let another hair stylist touch my hair. She goes above and beyond any hair stylist I’ve ever met. She will make you look like a million bucks from hair, to hair styling, brow shaping, & professional makeup.
Her perfectionism makes her the best at giving cuts. If you say you don’t want her to cut a lot of, she won’t. If you continue to go to her, you’ll see a significant difference in the health of your hair. Her motto is to always have her clients looking their absolute best so she does not offer any products that harm your hair. She uses amazing organic and healthy products (and won’t even let us get perms because it’s so damaging.)
Her prices are lower than industry standard and does this so that everyone can afford to look their best.
I WON’T LET ANYONE TOUCH MY EYEBROWS UNLESS IT’S WITH KIM! She’s SUPER clean and the wax never hurts. Let her know if you like them thicker or thinner. She does a great job of shaping and just cleaning them up!
If you’re interested in getting a cut, all you need to do is text her and she will put you in her schedule. She also works till 9 on the weekdays so there are no excuses to pamper yourself.
Oh yea… free wine. She’s the best!

Deborah was amazing! I usually fall asleep during hair appts because I am so bored. This time I brought my laptop and not once did I have to use it! She is fun, charismatic, and really felt like she cared about my hair. As long as it took, it was in my best interest in order for me to get the BEST results… cause I have wasted money before on «rush jobs». Love Deborah!

I went to Timberly for a Swedish massage and was not disappointed. I will definitely be going back.

Super sweet lady, funny and very entertaining, you will have a blast for sure.
She is VERY knowledgeable about hair, color, cut and tips for after care. I had color and cut and I came back 2 weeks later for more services. She is a little eclectic, not your everyday stylist, so for sure you will have fun, most importantly she is honest and will try to please you so you will leave happy! Isn’t that what we all look for when we go a the hair stylist?

I plan on filing a formal complaint against DEBORAH DEFAZIO
the phone #512−463−2906 with the cosmetology board
here is the address: P.O. box 12 157 Austin, Texas 78 711
She was very intoxicated and had my 17 year old daughter mix her own bleach, she got so drunk while she was coloring and cutting hair that she asked my daughter to drive her home. I am beyond upset and she has ruined my daughter’s hair but more importantly needs to stop with all her ridiculous behavior

DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT Go To Deborah. She Is The Worst. I Asked For Simple Hidden Caramel Highlights Throughout My Hair And I Left w/​A Shitty Wanna Be Ombré Design. She Didn’t Even Offer To Fix It For Free. Plus, Every 10 Mins She Would Leave To Smoke. SO UNPROFESSIONAL! You Should Never Leave Your Client There To Take 20 Fucking Smoke Breaks. Com’on, Get Over Yourself Lady.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HER.
Please Stay AWAY!

This review is for the lovely and talented Taryn, who works in Gallery of Salons. She is the only person I’ve worked with in Gallery of Salons, which is a fine establishment.
A few years ago now, my gorgeous Amazon of a sister-​in-​law, a 6-​foot Caribbean Venus, got a really fabulous haircut. And I coveted that hair. So I printed 30+ photos of Rihanna with a very similar short hairstyle, and off to the salon I toddled. When Taryn escorted me to her chair for the first time, I did not yet realize my good fortune. But I got an inkling when I showed her the 30+ photos of Rihanna — and she didn’t laugh. Understanding that I am a late-​thirties, cinderblock-​proportioned woman of Swiss/​Irish/​English descent, you can see that we were off to an auspicious start.
Now, beyond waving around photos of Rihanna, my ability to communicate about my hair is pretty much limited to grunts and gestures. But Taryn completely got it. The fluttering in my stomach quickly subsided as she went to work. She checked in at yea-​or-​nay moments and had an intuitive feel for my vision — better than I did, I think. When it came time for the final mirror-​twirl, I felt like a stocky Cinderella under my fairy-godmother’s wand. Rainbows, tweeting birds, chorus of angels, all that. Perfection.
Because Taryn is magical; it’s as simple as that. I can’t speak to Taryn’s touch with longer hair, as my husband refuses to trim his waist-​length dreads, but I will happily testify to her supernatural gift with short hair. She knows every nuance — both how to ease it a bit longer in winter and how to shear it breezily short in summer, keeping just the right vibe. She effortlessly interprets her clients’ inarticulate muttering into seriously cute hair. Taryn is a master of hair texture — she wrangles my cowlicks with a foolproof cut that still works even when it’s a bit overdue for a trim. And she pretends that she can’t find my white hairs, which I find endearing. I tip pretty well, but still.
Taryn is a very friendly gal and will chat as much or little as you like. And if you share my hair-​talking impairment, Taryn will teach you to say things like «number two shield,» just in case. But I hope I never have to say those words — I hope Taryn will cut my hair forevermore. Taryn, my little tattooed hero, I will follow you anywhere. Unless you ask me to stop.

Kim was sooo amazing! I called around noon on the only day I had in town. It happened to be her day off but she came in for me on super short notice. She cut and highlighted my hair, and waxed my eyebrows. I went from frumpy, umkempt mama to stylish, hot mama! She talked to me and took my lifestyle into account when helping me decide on the style I would be most comfortable with. And her prices were great!
My only complaint is I didn’t like trying yo navigate either the phone system or the website for the Gallery of Salons, but it was well worth it once I got in to see Kim!

Kim Kodali is the absolute best stylist in Central Texas! Kim has taken on the difficult task of taming my locks since 2006. I wouldn’t trust anyone else! In fact, my sister has gone through cosmetology school, and I won’t even let her touch my hair! Kim does a fabulous job with eye brows as well. I would highly highly recommend her.

This review is for Jenny Estillore, the amazing nail tech that performed a shellac mani for me! I’ve never received a manicure that was so complete, it was such a relaxing experience. She took her time to ensure my cuticles were in good shape and perfectly painted.
Her studio is well designed and has a calming atmosphere, I will definitely be back as a new shellac addict! Additionally, she is super sweet and I enjoyed our conversation! Much more personal experience than going to a regular nail salon.

Jenny Estillore is an amazing nail technician — professional, nice and accommodating. I am super picky about my nails (biggest peeve is when polish creeps over to my cuticles). Jenny takes the time to ensure my manicure and pedicure are perfect. I can’t recommend her enough!
Additionally, her office is clean with access to music (if you want) and wi-​fi. The environment creates a perfect get-​away for this busy, working mom.

I heart Jenny Estillore! She’s super sweet and personable, and does a perfect job for a reasonable price. When you’re with her it’s like chatting with a friend. She never makes you feel rushed or ignored. Her shellacs are perfectly done; I get so many compliments. Her office is also super clean for peace of mind. Go see her, you won’t regret it!

I bad need of another hair cut, I was close by and decided to give Kim Kodali a call as recommended on here. She was on her way back from the Airport after dropping someone off and wasn’t planning on working. She met me in less than 30 minutes and gave me a really awesome hair cut! My hair hasn’t looked this good in quite some time. She also trimmed my eye brows (never had that done before) and needless to say I’ll be definitely going back!

I love the Gallery of Salons for the fact that it is a one stop shop. You can have a complete spa day there. No it might not be as fancy as going to a pool side but they seem to have anything and everything from just your basic manicures and hair stylist to some of the most complex facials I have ever expierence.
What I really like is there is a small suite for each hair stylist. So you feel like you actually have one on one with them and not the world is watching or listening to your conversation. I always go to Rhayne to get my hair done. He is amazing. He can do about anything and everything. He cuts, color, washes, sew in weaves, and etc… He knows what he is doing adn gives great information. He carries fantastic products and works fantastic with the customers.
I am biracial (half black/​half white) and my hair grows very slow. My curls are tight and trust me… there are times I want to just shave myself bald. He has worked miracles on my hair and have found me products that work with my hair and do not over process or break it. I recommend going to him to anyone!
The place is great to go to and everyone is extremely nice and welcoming!

Kim Kodali has been cutting my hair for the past few years. Now she shares a suite with Maria DR Jaime and Oivia Ruedas at the Gallery of Salons. Give these ladies a try.

This place is wonderful! Anything beauty-​wise you could think of is under one roof!
My stylist, Tiffany Brandon, has been doing my hair for 12 years and she rocks. I’ve had everything from very normal highlights and low lights to super trendy slanted bob and she is wonderful. She is also a master colorist with Paul Mitchell. The girl is outstanding, but if your looking for other things also (massages, nails, etc) they are all here also!
