Visible Changes

I typically had my hair colored and cut somewhere else, but I stopped at Visible Changes because my bangs needed trimming. I found out VC does not charge for bang trims, but I always tip regardless. On one such occasion, Zee trimmed my bangs, and she made a great impression not only with her warm and friendly personality but with the way she trimmed my bangs. Those of you who wear bangs know how hard it is to find someone who does them the way you like them. Anyway, months later I needed an overall haircut right away, and I made an appointment with Zee. I really did not know what I wanted, but I told her what I liked and did not like about my hair. The result was one of the best hair cuts I have ever had. Additionally, she showed me how to style my hair and recommended some hair products. I will definitely keep coming to Zee at Visible Changes!

I worked at Vidal Sassoon for 10 years and continued to get my haircut at Sassoon while living in NYC. Needless to say I have had many great haircuts over the years and am a bit spoiled. When I moved to Austin I took a serious pay cut and my budget for hair shrank along with my pay. I also noticed that, generally speaking, that the «hair style» of hair in Austin is rather boring and few people have cute short hair. I was soooO nervous to get my hair cut! Finally I saw a girl with cute short hair and discovered that she saw Margaret at Visible Changes so I booked and anxiously awaited my cut. I was very pleased at how cute my cut came out! Margaret really listened to what I was looking for and gave an honest assessment of my hair and what we could get away with. I felt comfortable giving her some artistic liberties and I was so pleased with the end result. Margaret rocks! I love my new hair!

This is a review for a bleaching and color treatment. I will not be naming names, but the woman who did my treatment did a sloppy and unprofessional job. It did not meet my expectations. At first I thought everything was going nicely. I had informed her this was my first treatment. However, I probably should have kept that to myself. Once she finished, she briefly blowdryed the roots of my hair to show me the color and had parted it how I normally do. I thought everything was fine. When I got about half-​way home, I notice she missed a complete section of hair that was hidden by how she parted it. There were other messy splotches that outlined the coloring that become more noticeable as my hair began to fully dry. So I turned around and went back. I was taken back to have her touch up the area she missed. She wound up treating many other spots on the underside of my hair and throughout the back of my head. Afterwards I left, thinking everything was fixed. But, not even quite a week later, more areas are becoming more visible that were also missed. Highly unsatisfied customer, and I will definitely not be returning. I wish I would have spent all the money I did on a hair dresser who does not do such a sloppy job, resulting in her client having to return at least once to have it redone.

Great overall experience. Was questioning the mall location, but it actually works in the clients’ favor (later hours, Sundays and Mondays). Had a appt with Zee for a cut and she did a fantastic job. She is incredibly personable and keeps you in the loop about what’s going on with what she is doing (pauses to have you take a look front and back). Overall very efficient salon, clean and busy. Busy to where it’s a good thing but you can get an appt easily. Zee is my definitely my cut girl, and looking forward to going back for some color!

I am extremely happy with the level of service and professionalism I have received from Meaghan (hair color) and Chad (hair cut). They are very personable and quite attentive. Being new to Austin I am excited to have found my new hair stylists. I recommend these two for anyone with high expectations, as myself.

I have been to Visible Changes for many years. In that time I have had several master stylist cut and style my hair. Today I went in for highlights and needed my hair dried before I left. They suggested a stylist named: Courtney. I was blown away by the FANTASTIC cut and style she gave me. This young woman knew everything about what my coarse hair needed!!! As she cut my hair she went into detail on how my type of hair needed: texturing on the end, how the top of my head needed layering so the cut would move… etc. etc. etc. Courtney you are amazing! !!! I will be sending customers your way. Lisa

I was referred to Courtney after asking a waitress where she got her hair done. I was shocked to hear that it was in the mall!
But her hair was really cute and fun so I thought I would give Courtney a try.
I called and immediately got an appointment unlike some places where you have to book 2 weeks in advance expecially around the holidays!
I also love the fact that I got in at 8:30 at night! Again better hours than a lot places!
Courtney was very very nice and sweet she actually listened to everything I asked for !!
I warned her that my hair could never be thinned and she did not thin my hair she gave me a great cut.
I was extremely happy a lot happier than some of the $ 60 haircuts I have received in the past from so-​called high end salons. I recommend this place and you know I only tell the truth! LOL
Great hours, great people, (unlike some of the places that think they are better than you and look down on you. Also did not trash talk my hair from what the last person did to it) very fun, most of all a great cut at a great price!
Thank You Courtney so glad I found you!

Margaret is my go to hairstylist. Love her! She has helped me transition from a long hair style into a short hair cut. Which I’m obsessed with. I’m definitely going through a short hairstyle phase. Margaret knows exactly what I want and takes directions well. She’s also one of the few hair stylist who can also do a good job with men’s cuts (In my opinion). I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to explore new hairstyles.

Zee is a fantastic stylist! I went to VC yesterday for the first time ever (I was nervous). Front desk was friendly and helpful. Zee is very sweet, and she didn’t take hours to cut/​style my hair. She explained what she was doing as she worked. Which was nice given we had just met.
I’ve had so much trouble finding a really good stylist at a reasonable rate. My hair looked lovely leaving the salon. After washing and fixing it at home, I am happy to say that I am more than satisfied! It’s more than a decent cut! It’s a great cut! It lays nicely, it’s easy to manage, looks nice curled, straight and up! I’m looking forward to the next visit!
Request Zee at Barton Creek Mall! She’s wonderful! :)

Prices are reasonable. Music is loud. Place looks like it’s straight out of 1983– which makes it something of an experience. People are polite.

Slight disappointed in today’s visit to visible changes and here’s why
Upon arrival a lady names Dre didn’t welcome but stared at me and my friend. We then took the initiative to say hello then ask if there were any available appointments for just a trim. (The previous night we had called and they had the whole day open). Dre then rudely responded no and that their only availability was not until 7pm and since I was with my friend who had an appt. for 3:30 I declined the 7pm one because it would have been too late. 30 minutes later when it was time for my friend to get her hair cut we re entered visible changes and thought we would ask again just in case anyone had canceled. This time a different lady told us there was a 4:30 availability and I told her to give me one second to think about it. As this exchange was happening my friend was checking into her appointment with Dre and Dre rudely interrupted my friend and asked her what year she was born in. My friend said 1996 and as she was saying she was 19 Dre blurted «oh so you just turned 18» in the most nasty voice. My friend ignored the comment and went to go get her hair done.
So after that when I came back up a minute later to tell the front desk I could take the 4:30 appt. apparently it had just been taken and no longer available. Pretty frustrated at this point I sat back with my friend in the waiting area and told her what happened. She then called visible changes from inside the hair saloon and asked when the next available hair appt. would be. They told her 4:30…I was shocked and upset because the lady had JUST told me there were no more available appts. My friend then continued to book that hair appt. for me. I came back and $ 30 later with the worst hair cut I have ever received I left visible changes. I will never be back to this hair saloon. everyone is rude and the job preformed is average at most. Whoever the manager is need to teach their workers proper customer service. I would rather pay 60 $ at tony n guy than 30 $ at visible changes.

I’ve been coming to Visible Changes since the mid 80’s. Now I bring my kids here. Margaret G has been cutting my sons hair for awhile now. She is awesome! Great personality and Gavin is always happy with his cut. Definitely give Margaret a try, you will not be disappointed!

I may be a little bias, but Charlotte DeBusk and all of the staff at visible changes are first class and are masters of their profession. I recommend them all of the time to anyone needing to get all fancied up.

Linda for cut; Charlotte for color. I’ve been going to Linda ~20 years and Charlotte for ~10. Superior style and coloring skills delivered from professionals. Always complimented! These ladies rock!

I’ve been getting my haircut here for 3 years now. It is a really nice facility with great staff. I regularly see the senior stylist Zee Zertuche. She is a great stylist and always gives me a great mens cut. I highly recommend seeing her if you have the opportunity.

I can proudly say that I have been visiting Visible Changes for 4 years, and I have been happy the whole time. The staff is incredible. Christi was my stylist for about 3 years, and when she moved cities, she referred me to Zee. While I still miss Christi, she left me in good care with Zee. Zee is funny, friendly, caring, and REAL. Aside from her awesome personality traits, she is awesome with hair, too! She works with you as opposed to just telling you what she thinks is best. Just recently, I referred my realtor to Zee and the next day when I saw my realtor, she was RAVING about how sweet Zee was and what a great job she did fixing her hair. You see, the last stylist my realtor visited, and I’ll use that term loosely, cut her hair unevenly, and when she asked about it being uneven, the «stylist» told her it was meant to be that way… um no. That’s when my realtor asked about where I get my hair cut «cause it’s so pretty», and I happily referred her to Zee!
Tl;Dr version: VC Barton Creek is awesome. Ask for Zee!

I have been going to Arlyn for about a year now and she is amazing! I usually detest the whole process of getting my hair cut, but Arlyn makes me feel at such ease. Along with giving me a wonderful cut, she is just an overall nice and welcoming person. I don’t plan on going anywhere else!!!

I’ve been coming here since I was in high school, so about 7 – 8 years now & haven’t looked back. I’m VERY hesitant letting new people touch my hair when I trust someone with it, when I first started getting my hair colored there it took a couple of color stylists before I met Amy. Amy is a freaking miracle worker, every time I see her she’s friendly, nice & just plain awesome. She’s never disappointed me with my hair & does exactly what I want & explains everything as she’s doing it which I love. I never have to feel worried or scared when she’s working on my hair, especially since I’ve been getting the «funky» colors for the past 3 years now, my hair is still in amazing condition & I have Amy to thank for that.
As for my hair cuts I’ve seen a BUNCH of different people, some are good & some I just don’t like touching my hair ever again. I had a girl I was regularly seeing that was okay but when she left I was introduced to Zee. Zee is just amazing, she always welcomes me with a big smile & even checks on me when I’m getting my hair colored to say hi. She makes getting a hair cut so much fun ! She knows exactly what I want done w/​my hair each time & knows I don’t want to lose my length, especially knowing how long it took for it to grow back out. I’ve never had to worry about hating my hair after seeing either of them, & feel amazing every time I walk out of there :)

I’ve been coming to Visible Changes for a bit over a year now and it’s all because of Zee! Professional, friendly, trendy, and knows how to cut hair! She’s always got a great attitude, a big smile and knows exactly how I like my hair. The atmosphere is great, the staff friendly and I definitely recommend signing up for online booking. It’s super easy to schedule appointments and a great way to save a few dollars off your cut! Now do your hair a favor and book with Zee!

I’ve been going to the Barton Creek Visible Changes on and off for 3 years largely because of where I worked. I had a handful of good haircuts. But even when they were good I oftentimes felt like my previous stylists needed direction, and at times couldn’t replicate their former successes.
Margaret is literally the first hair stylist I’ve had ever, where I feel confident that I can sit down, give her no direction and I know I’ll walk away with a great hair cut every time. When a hair cut is done well its a form of art and I don’t feel anymore comfortable deciding how it should look then I would deciding what an artist should paint, sculpt etc. I’m not an artist of hair, but I’m glad I found someone who is.
