L7 Salon

Love Kristen! Very honest and love how she cuts my hair. I’m looking forward to her doing my balayage!

I’ve had so many terrible experiences with hairstylists that I’ve been cutting my own hair for years. I have fine hair that is kinda wavy, and every stylist just pretends it’s straight and gives me long layers. Then when I style it at home and leave the wave in, it is terrible, like frizzy That Girl. Based on reviews, I went to L7 and the lovely Christina actually listened and gave me a texturized bob, checking with me on length as she cut. Wonderful! I love my new easy and cute hair.

I have been going to L7 Salon (once Capelli) for about 2 – 3 years now and I ‘d recommend it to anyone! Not only is my stylist fantastic, but everyone is so pleasant and accommodating, the location is excellent, parking is even better, and the place is super adorable. I understand I am only repeating what everyone else has said, but Lisa does a wonderful job on my hair EVERY TIME.

Chose L7 for the great reviews and Olaplex. Marcy nailed the cut and color. Took my shoulder length brunette hair to an icy platinum pixie. A true professional. Accommodated my schedule and stayed after hours to get the color just right. Thanks Marcy!

Came in for a cut with Christina based off of a couple other Unilocal reviews about how amazing this girl is with hair. And they were right!!!
Backstory, I had long hair that covered my girls and had been growing it out for years. It was getting tangled and the weight of my hair was flattening it out. Desperate in need of a change I had come to peace that I was going to cut my mermaid hair because it wasn’t very mermaid after all. So turning to Unilocal,I found l7 and found Christina.
The precious Unilocalers had explained similar situations like mine. Girls with long hair in need of a drastic change. I related to their woes and was eager to let Christina get her hands on my hair.
Come appointment time she was friendly, knowledgable and she got the job done! I brought in some pictures of what I wanted my hair to look like, shared my concerns about what going shorter might do to my face and she listened and delivered.
Results are me in a perfect hairstyle for my face and for this new chapter in my hair life. I love it!

One day I decided that 6 years of long hair was enough so I spontaneously looked up hair salons in Austin and just hoped for the best. I called in and asked if they took walk ins and they very politely took me in without a wait. The interior was very modern and aesthetically pleasing. Christina Bourque was my stylist and I still can’t get over how amazingly talented and friendly she was. I took in reference pictures and she was extremely professional and made it look EXACTLY the way I wanted… EXACTLY! I don’t regret my decision to cut my hair short because I genuinely love this haircut so much. I would and will recommend her to all my friends.

I have tried different places (from cheap to expensive ones) for a nice haircut in Austin over 4 years. This time I went through Unilocal to find a new place for my haircut. I have very long hair and I wanted a layer cut for it. I went to L7 at Guadalupe. They are closed on Mon. So, plan ahead. Call them to book an appointment and make sure they have the right phone number so that they can send you confirmation text to you. In my case they did not write the correct phone number so I had to email them to confirm my appointment. There is 1 hour free parking in front of the L7 salon. I asked my hair stylist and she said there are some extra parking spaces at the back of the salon. Since, I went on a weekday afternoon, it was quite empty and I parked at the front.
Once I was there they promptly asked me if I want any drink and made me feel comfortable. I liked their welcoming service. I had booked my appointment with Kristen based on some Unilocal reviews and I am glad I did that. She asked me about my expectation from this haircut and I showed her some pictures from google to give her an idea what I am looking for. Next, she took me for shampoo and conditioning. We spoke a lot about life, places we have been to.
My hair cut was hardly for 15 mins, since I did not want to chop my long hair. Kristen blow dried my hair and set it with nice wavy layers. And I immediately fell in love with my new hair cut. My husband loved it too and said it was the best hair cut I have got in Austin :)
Also, Kristen gave me some tips about hair products, how I can manage a healthy hair etc. She did not force me to buy anything from the store, which I appreciate a lot (had a horrible experience at other salon at Barton creek mall).
I will definitely go back to L7 for another haircut.

I’ve been going to L7 fairly regularly since around August. I love it, and Christina is the best stylist I’ve ever been to! She’s great to talk to and knows exactly what I want without me having to explain a lot. The haircuts are a bit pricier than what I’m used to, but they are completely worth it! I regularly get compliments on my hair now (2 – 3 a week from strangers) whereas I never got any before. Going to my hair appointment is now always one of the highlights of my month!

The «$$» are there for a reason! My previous salon was about $ 30 cheaper i think, but I found myself in need of a new salon for one reason or another and this place was so highly reviewed, i had to give it a try! (budget be damned!)
I got set up with Kristen and she was so wonderful. listened to everything I wanted — grow out my highlights a little at a time, low maintenance (whatever that means), and of course, fabulous.
she went above what i wanted and she was so easy to talk to. at some point there was some silence but she looked so focused on my haircut so i didnt mind at all!
I have since come back 3 times (i believe) and the last time was a hair-​emergency. Long story short, i went somewhere that had no reviews/​had just opened and ended up with a mullet even though i had asked for a plain 1″ trim. I ended up begging kristen to squeeze me in ASAP to fix it and well, she worked what magic she could to salvage my hair without giving me a pixie cut.
My hair has grown into her fix quite nicely and I’m fixing to go back in soon now that the top mullet is grown out to even it up once more.

Absolutely amazing experience! I saw Jillian today and she gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had! She transformed my hair from a broken, stringy mess to beautiful and bouncy. I’m absolutely in love with my haircut and will be back again and again. I was nervous going in because I knew I was going to have so much length cut off, but the atmosphere and people are so great that you can’t help but relax. The shampoo was relaxing and the haircut was quick and efficient. Jillian also gave me some great recommendations for my specific needs/​concerns and answered all of my (many) questions about hair maintenance. Thanks, Jillian and everyone at L7!

I received a haircut about a week ago and the experience was absolutely fine. My stylist did a good job and took her time. The reason why I listed it as two stars is I’m a guy and I usually get a haircut twice a month so when I went in there I never saw any listing of prices (I’m not saying there wasn’t but it wasn’t obvious to the buyer) my haircut I received was an average haircut that I would have received at almost any establishment except I paid $ 45 for it. I didn’t put up a fuss I just paid it and learned my lesson. It’s sad cause I really liked the environment and the people, but I just can’t wrap my mid around paying that much for a haircut.

Oh my gosh. I went in for a a huge change in color with Ashley, from neon pink to a coppery red. She totally accommodated all my needs on the fly, worked hard to give me the color I wanted, and made me feel comfortable and welcome the whole time I was there. I am blown away by the results, I completely love them. I will absolutely go back, I am so completely totally satisfied and happy with my experience there.

New to the Austin area, I searched for a while to find the ‘right’ place but I am SO GLAD that I found L7 Salon. Kristen is a fantastic stylist at the Guadalupe location. She was on time, took time to hear my ideas and view pictures, and then she gave her own polite opinion on the style I had chosen and how it would fit my face shape. We chatted during the appointment, I love when hair dressers do that so you’re not sitting in awkward silence. I took 13 inches off to donate and was pleasantly surprised that the salon mails off the hair donation for you! I thought that was pretty awesome so I filled out a small information sheet required by locks of love and it was all packaged and ready to go! The salon is also very clean and chic with loads of bumble & bumble products and parking is a large lot beside of the building.
I love my new, short hair! Thanks, Kristen!

Kristen is one of the best stylists I’ve ever had, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in Austin.
I always get my hair layered. I used to think that, when stylists layer your hair, you get the same haircut. But, over the years, I’ve realized that different stylists cut your hair differently, even when you tell them the same thing. Kristen listens carefully to what I want with my hair. And without a doubt, Kristen gives one of the best layers.
Whenever I get a haircut from Kristen, my hair feels neat and easy to maintain. The cut looks really good, even when it’s freshly cut, and it lasts long. My friends and my stylist in Dallas have complimented my hair after I get it cut at L7. In contrast, when I get a mediocre haircut, my hair feels very thick and it looks bad and out of control, no matter how long I let it grow.
I’m not an expert of haircuts. That’s why I get my hair cut at the salon! But I know a good haircut when I see one. I’d recommend Kristen as a stylist.

I don’t typically post reviews but in this case I will. This one goes out to Ashley. Not only was she incredibly awesome and friendly but she also did a fantastic job on my haircut today. I am brand new in to town and I will continue to bring my business to L7 as long as Ashley is there. Thanks Ashley!

Marcy cut my hair and she did an amazing job. Front desk rep was very nice. Marcy is my new hairdresser and I will be defiantly setting up my color appointments and future cutting appointments with Marcy. They use bumble and bumble products and goldwell color. So looking forward to getting my color done with L7. Unilocal reviews steered me right.

I’ve been going to see Kristen for 3 months now and I’m so thankful for have a salon home and go-​to stylist. I’ve hopped from salon to salon and stylist to stylist ever since I moved to Austin 8 years ago. I couldn’t find the right person who could give me the right cut (I don’t color my hair).
During my first appointment with Kristen I chose to shake up my look with bangs — from no bangs to blunt bangs. Kristen asked all the right questions before she even picked up a pair of scissors — desired look, hair type, styling habits. Even during the cut she checked in to make sure things were the way I wanted and she listened to the feedback I provided. Needless to say, I love the bangs and I love going to Kristen. I have a standing appointment with her every few weeks, bang trims and all-​over cuts.
In addition to her awesome styling skills, she’s very easy to talk to and cares about her clients!

Marcy is a hair angel! She has done magic with my hair. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to make it perfect. I originally came in to L7 with a wreck of a head of bleached out, damaged hair. Marcy has taken the time to guide me through the best options for my color and texture. She never pushes product, but shows me what products work best for me and I am forever grateful! I’m so appreciative to have someone working on my hair who genuinely cares about my look as much as I do. I recently went from blonde to red and she made sure I properly prepped my hair over several weeks without jumping in to a day full of processing without prior care. I praise the hair gods I found her. She’s also a blast to talk to. And the staff is wonderful! Always super sweet and easy to work with. Love love love them.

Alyssa was as wonderful as can be, she paid attention to detail, always was making conversation with me and the beeeeest part of all was her shampooing of course. She gave a great massage on my poor little tired head… lol my cut was beautiful she got my color just how i wanted it… OVER ALL THE EXPERIENCE WAS FABULOUS

Shout out to Kristen, who did an amazing job on my highlights! Thank you for making me look like I was born blonde.

Jillian was awesome! I got a trim today, as I asked for, and she even showed me how to style my hair (and for this lazy gal, I appreciated the quick and easy instruction!). I will be back.

After four solid visits to L7 Salon, I feel very confident recommending Kristen.
Kristen is professional, attentive, responsive and honest. Her cuts always work well with my hair type and maintenance level.
She knows I’m trying to grow my hair out and does a great job balancing style with function. I walk away with that fresh-​cut feeling, but also plenty of length. Kristen is also really helpful with bang trims in-​between the cuts to keep everything in place.
This past visit, she was running about 20 minutes behind, but handled it well and I did not feel rushed at all during my appointment. Next time, I’m going in for partial highlights. We’ll see how it goes!
Scheduling is easy over the phone and the confirmation emails ahead of the appointment are helpful. I definitely recommend this salon!

Just checked out L7”s brand new location on South Lamar!!!
Absolutely LOVE this new location!!! Super modern, chic, and colorful. Everyone who works at L7 is amazing at what they do and they really take pride in the art of hair! I especially love Lisa Allen because not only is she the absolute best person you can trust with excellent highlights and a fresh haircut, she truly cares about every person who walks through the door. She listens to what I want and makes me feel absolutely beautiful. Definitely recommend checking out this new location and visiting any of the stylist here because they do phenomenal jobs. You will love it!

I have been going to L7 since I was a student at UT, which is a super hard sentence to type with the «was» involved. Roughly maybe three years all together. Anyways:
The first couple of years I saw Abbi who is phenomenal and one of the coolest people I’ve met. She was the person who put the idea in my head that I could totally pull off the shaved side of my head look (I want to believe… but I am a rational person). She ‘got’ everything I asked for and more.
One day Abbi was totally (understandably) booked, so I took a chance and saw the ‘new girl,’ Kristen. She’s been there about 7 months at this time of the er– publication. WOW. No regrets since. (I think I committed some kind of cardinal sin by switching stylists in the same salon but… it was too late. I had my new go-​to!) Kristen is a mind reader, almost creepily so. She has an amazing arsenal of knowledge about products from her previous salons, current styles, and tons of information about the cut you’re getting and how to maintain it. She is incredibly honest and will be up front with a «No that’s a bad idea» when you once again, go for that shaved-​side-​of-​the-​head thing. She’s the BEST!
I don’t think you can go wrong booking with anyone at L7 Salon. I have had a great experience with everyone there. The customer service is phenomenal, they’re extremely accommodating, and they never make fun of my insane iPad signature on their super fancy receipt system. Amazing!

I was so stoked to try out L7, based on all the excellent reviews. I had a flight Saturday morning to see my boyfriend after over a month, so I booked an appointment for 4:30 Friday afternoon. After sitting in horrible ACL traffic, I get there on time and am told that no such appointment is on the books. I show them my confirmation email and while they apologized profusely, it put me up a creek (with an hour and a half to find a salon that might have an opening, and I’m already trepidatious about getting my hair cut, not to mention I was starting to look disturbingly like cousin it). I was told they’d ask around, and as I only needed a cut (nothing drastic and no color), I was hopeful, but figured my chances were slim.
The hair gods came through for me. Jamie was able to squeeze me in about 30 minute after my original appointment time, and they did the cut complimentary to make up for the snafu.
Service like this still exists? Color me seriously impressed. Best part? I left looking great. Jamie was awesome to talk to and super sweet.
Why can’t I give L7 7 stars like they deserve?
