Chuck Edwards The Salon

Wish I had found this place before. Stephanie did a great mens cut!
My wife also goes here at loves Kat, so as a family we´ve had great experiences here.

Stephanie is awesome. She is the kind of stylist that gets to know your hair and understands what does/doesn’t work with it.
She takes care of me as soon as I get in the door: asks if I’d like anything to drink, assesses what I want to do with my hair that day, gives me an amazing shampoo, then gets to work.
I like to try new things with my hair occasionally and Stephanie always makes it work with my style.
She’s also super friendly, so it’s always easy to talk to her. It’s hard to make small talk with people sometimes, but Stephanie is very easy going.
I’m so glad I don’t have to shop around for a stylist. Stephanie is definitely my go-​to.

I hadn’t gone to a salon in about 2 years but am so happy I broke this hiatus by seeing Remi at Aces! He is a color-​genius and my hair turned out so wonderfully — I’ve paid ridiculous amounts at other hair salons to have stylists screw up my color and I just ended up going home and trying to fix it myself. Remi took my bleached blonde, treated hair and turned it into the softest sweetest blue that I’m absolutely in love with.
The salon experience was wonderful — I felt like I was in and out of there in no time. When I arrived I was offered whatever I wanted to drink, so I relaxed with some white wine and let Remi work his magic!
If you’re someone who has a hard time getting «settled in» or «finding» a salon that suits you and have given up then come here and have your faith restored! Thank you Remiiiiiiii!!!

SUMMER HAIR
Please tell me I’m not the only one that HATES «doing» my hair during the HOT months. I like to hop out of the shower and run some product in it and go. And this is going to sound ridiculous but I don’t care… my hair looks amazing right now and it’s because of Remi. My ombré and blunt lob gets compliments all the time: hair flip: Having thin and weak hair, I was afraid to do anything to it, but Remi made a believer out of me by TRANSFORMING me. I’m talking slow-​mo, music in the background, struts while pushing my cart at wheatsville. Remi explained that he uses something extra while he’s doing the color to protect my hair, I don’t speak hair, obviously, so I don’t know what that means, but it’s been almost three weeks and not a single split end. Also… I don’t understand Remi the cut and color warlock because for the affordable prices he charges… my color is going to last probably for the rest of the summer. That «lived-​in» look is obtainable people! You don’t have to flip through instagram and drool over other people’s hair… get it yourself with REMI!

I can’t recommend Remi Zehr Do enough! I had my first appointment with him last week & have received tons of compliments on my hair since. He’s incredibly warm, friendly & fun to talk to. Not to mention his color skills are off the charts. I have naturally light mousey brown hair but have been coloring it borderline platinum for ages now & he nails the lived in look I like. No harsh highlight lines or awkward grow out here just easy, messy, beachy blonde! Remi’s so far from a one-​note stylist though. Want bright mermaid hair? He’s got you. Want a sharp angular look? He’s on it. Want balayage? Yep, check. Going pastel? Platinum? No sweat. Remi’s the best! You won’t regret booking with this sweetie pie.
BONUS: The shampoo chairs at Chuck Edwards are the comfiest I’ve ever been in.

I’ve been seeing Cat for a few years now so this review is waaaay overdue.
I first met her when she did my hair for my wedding which came out awesome and affordable!
She also helped me grow out and tame my lion’s mane, my cut is always on point and she always shows me her new favorite products which as a hair novice, I totally appreciate!
Cat is attentive, talented, friendly and I always walk out happy as a clam! Online scheduling is a breeze and they send e-​mail reminders so I never forget an appointment.
Recently, she did ombré highlights and let me tell you, I feel
! If I can figure out how to post a picture of it, I will!

The salon itself is great: clean, quiet, nicely decorated, with a great assortment of snacks and beverages to enjoy during your appointment. The main reason I go there, however, is for Brittany’s magic touch! She has been my stylist since 2010 and I wouldn’t want anyone else. She gives you a fabulous cut and is always game to do something new, yet will let you know if she thinks your ideas are off-​the-​mark. Then she will come up with a better option. I truly trust and appreciate her opinion. I get tons of compliments on my hair and am happy to refer people to her, including friends and co-​workers, who are also very satisfied returning clients. Brittany is the best!

I’ve been going to Chuck Edwards The Salon for over two years now. I absolutely LOVE this place! Chic, sophisticated, professional, & exceptional service. Each chair is equipped with its own tablet that has countless up-​to-​date magazines on them. So hip! Love it.
I’ve had my hair cut, colored, ombred & bayalaged by (the one & only) Chucks Edwards, cut, colored AND highlighted (like, totally blonde… um, PLATINUM BLONDE) by Cat Kirkwood (LOVE HER!), cut, colored, & sun-​kissed by Ashley Huebner, & just recently had my hair colored & trimmed by Stephanie Simms. Their entire staff is amazing in every aspect that there is of a hair salon.
Though each of them have their own special skills, they were all able to give me the look I was going for; I have never left this salon with regret or disappointment.
If you’re wanting blonde/​ombré/​rich color with a bob-​styled hair cut, go with Cat. Cat is seriously my favorite (sorry, I love all of you, but I have to brag on her a little!).
BONUS: they now have a second salon located downstairs across the parking lot– ACES A Chuck Edwards Salon.
Check these cool peeps out, you won’t regret it! :D

My appointment was with Katy, and she did a wonderful job. I’m newer to Austin and was still on the hunt for my home salon, but I think I’ve found it. I typically dye my hair a natural auburn, and Katy nailed it. They use TIGI color and it’s a great product.
I had also been debating a nape undercut to get rid of weight and tangles in my long hair. Katy gave me a good list of pros and cons and I decided to go for it. I’d never had clippers used on my head before, but Katy did great and made me feel really comfortable.
Also: this place has the best shampoo chairs ever. They lay you more flat and take a lot of pressure off of your neck. It’s wondrous. The price was definitely reasonable, and I got quality service. I would definitely recommend this salon.

Please note: I am a person that has gone to the same stylist, driving back to CC every haircut, for the last 15 years — to get a trim, highlights once in all those years, nothing fancy… yeah, I’m weird, but I have had terrible experiences trying to find someone to just trim my hair here. I thought I had given up hope of finding a new stylist in Austin, but I decided to give Chuck Edwards a shot and am happy to report I may not ever go to my ‘hair lady’ in Corpus ever again! I don’t need anything fancy, as I mentioned above, just like to get a cut and style every 6 months to get the dead ends off and feel pretty. When I have tried new stylists, I explain that I do have fine, curly hair, that I wear straight occasionally, want some long layers and want it to look and feel healthier, and that a razor ‘for texture’ is not going anywhere near my head. I told Ashlee those things and she did an awesome job with everything! The cut is great, the blow-​out was amazing, love the products she used, etc. She is awesome and you should go to her for your haircut and style! She even makes me want to consider coloring my hair because I know she would do awesome. Did I mention she’s awesome?
Also, the new space is really nice, clean, roomy and open. Has plenty of parking and everyone who works there is friendly and makes you feel good.

This morning I woke up, and wanted a change. I have needed a hair cut for a while, and been sheepishly coloring my hair out of a box for a couple of weeks, because my hair grows incredibly fast. Through the online booking, I was able to see that this was one of the only salons I could get into with appointments open on a Saturday. I scheduled with Ashley.
When I sat in the chair, we discussed a photo I had brought in, that I previously tried to get another stylist to do from a different town. and they had failed me. She told me that we would just wing it, and at first I was pretty nervous because everyone in the salon had rainbow hair. (So cool, but I would get fired for having it.) She was so awesome to talk to, and she didn’t criticize me for having too much hair or taking up her entire afternoon.
The salon itself made us very comfy with plenty of snacks, tablets for you to play on, and drink options. Its a cute little place decorated in Ikea marketplace items, and they are very chic. At the end of the day, she blew out my hair, and it was EXACTLY like what I had asked for. I was so happy… I just moved to town, so trusting someone who I have never met to take on such a big task is tough, but Ashley was a pro. Cost me about $ 150 for 3 colors, a cut and a blowout. Pretty competitive there. Can’t wait to return to see what other dimensions we can add.

I went platinum blonde last spring, and although dark roots are an acceptable and almost «cool» thing to have in 2015, they were getting a bit out of hand (as in, my bangs were brown, my hair was blonde 0₀.)
So, I made an appointment with Remi Zehr Do at Chuck Edwards using their handy online system. I didn’t have a photo, but Remi did an amazing job picking the perfect low light colors and it looks amazing!!! He has such an incredible eye for the color, and the placement of the high lights is wonderful. I will most definitely be back and recommending Remi to everyone I know.

TL: DR I walked in wanting a shimmery gold/​auburn/​copper color and to keep as much length as possible. I walked out with short dull brown hair.
So really here’s the whole story. Their appointment system is awesome. It is SO great to be able to book an appt online with the stylist you prefer. Then you get texts and then reminder texts. I arrived for my appointment to a locked door and no one inside the salon. I’m calling the salon and only getting the answering machine. «Uh hi… I think I’m at the right place.» 10 minutes later, just as I’m about to leave, I received a call about my appointment. Turns out they’ve moved and someone didn’t give me the memo on the expansion. It’s just across the parking lot btw, if you’re headed there. Also maybe someone could answer the phone or put it on the answering machine as I’m guessing I won’t be the only one to encounter this snafu.
I have to admit it had been months since my last appointment, waiting to cut it in hopes that it would grow long like Rapunzel. Instead, I was like the before picture of extreme makeover. Like, if I’d seen my face staring up at me from the pages of busted I’d be all «that girl needs to get her hair did.» I showed her my pinterest board and we looked through the coppery reds of some celebs (think emma stone, amy adams.) Then we applied, and washed and cut and dried.
You know when you leave a place on the verge of crying? You’re like please take my money before I burst into tears? That’s how I felt. I waited a couple of days before writing this review to see if it would wear off but it hasn’t. Each time I catch a glimpse, I think «who is that weird soccer mom with the short hair?» I’ve re-​styled it straight. Then I tried curly. My versatile cut is so versatile that it looks bad both ways. Talk about versatility!
The tricky thing about hair and new stylists is you don’t know each other yet. It’s like a first date of sorts. I’m not really well versed in the hair lexicon so it’s possible that I miscommunicated. I also didn’t have a strong preference on some things and I did say that I was open to something different than what I’ve been sporting but isn’t the hope always that there’s a grand vision at play? As confirmed by 3 separate parties, I’ve officially «gone brown.»
I’m intentionally not mentioning my stylist’s name because I think this is an anomaly. To be fair, the condition of my hair is 100X better than it was when I went in. It probably IS good that the split ends have been eradicated. But when a cut/​color costs $ 150, I want to walk out and feel euphoric, glorying in my new locks instead of agonized, searching desperately for a tissue in my car to cry into.
** Yes, I have the option to go back. But like, does anyone do that? Isn’t it incredibly awkward? **

Today I had an amazing haircut by Rémi Do, at the salon’s new addition next door. Rémi is an experienced educator within the hair industry, and it shows in the quality of his work. I went in just wanting a simple trim to get the dead ends off, and left gaining much more than that! He asked great questions and we discussed daily challenges I face with my hair. He pinpointed each one of those challenges and executed them with the perfect custom haircut for me while still only taking off the small amount of the length (since I want to grow my hair out long). My hair has life again! It’s going to grow out so well! Rémi has awesome communication and understood exactly what I wanted. He is so friendly and is easy to talk to, which is always something I look for in a hairstylist. If you are in need of a new stylist in Austin, look no further!

This is the second salon I have tried since I moved to Austin. I found this place on Unilocal and I liked the reviews I read about Cat and her ombré experience so I decided to give it a try. And because I’m a Unilocaler, I want others to know how much I liked it!
I made an appointment 3 weeks I’m advance with their easy to use online scheduler. The place was easy to find and had lots of parking. I was greeted as soon as I came in, offered a drink, and we got right on it.
Cat was very friendly and easy to get along with, I showed her a picture of Nina Dobrev’s ombré and she knew exactly what to do and offered some suggestions. My hair is naturally dark and I had some old ombré and highlight leftovers. I appreciated her suggestions and her explaining in different techniques and colors that could better complement my skin tone, length of hair, etc. During the process we also discussed after care, shampoos, etc. After cut, she also showed me some tricks on styling. Like how to properly use a curling iron, which I’m really bad at.
I didn’t feel like I paid an arm and a leg for this, which is good. I really liked the result and I liked all the suggestions she gave me. I appreciated that my ombré didn’t have an obvious change of tone like other ombré I’ve seen, but more of a natural tone change. I also appreciated how my cut was nice and flowy rather than choppy. I was definitely satisfied! I will definitely come back with Cat, everything positive about her I read on here prior to going is true! Ombré is her specialty so I definitely recommend her!

Cat is the best!!! She made me feel calm in a huge change with my hair… I had it long for ever and decided to go short, very short and she helped me with her knowledge and kindness. And btw I LOVE MY NEW HAIRCUT!!! Love it love it love it!

I’ve been wanting to get my hair dyed for a while but never could get the courage to do it, until I read other Unilocal reviews about this place, then one day I finally decided to take the leap and book an appointment with Chuck himself!
I have to admit I didn’t really know what I wanted going into my appointment but he took the time to ask me several questions about how I wanted my hair to look, and I still don’t think I was any help… all I basically told him was that I wanted ombré hair and I wanted it to look amazing and that I trusted him. He started mixing and got straight to work and well 3 hours later, I left the salon with beautiful hair that I love! Chuck did a great job… he took his time and really knows what he’s doing and he was also really personable and left a great impression. I will definitely recommend this salon to anyone!

Allison continues to be my go-​to gal for my hair needs. She took my hair from a super-​bright-​little-​mermaid-​red (my previous color obsession that Allison helped me achieve) to a gorgeous ashy-​platinum blonde in just a few sessions (a journey of about 6 months) and every shade in the middle was a lovely ever-​lightening ashy blonde. She knew what my hair could handle at every appointment and knew how to keep it healthy. Currently I go to Allison to have her touch up my dark-​brown roots, and as always I look forward to her relaxing shampoo and scalp massage.
I get so many compliments on how healthy my hair is, even though it’s been processed to a very light color. It never looks dry/​fried, and I thank Allison for that! She knows exactly what to do and what products will keep my hair that way (*cough* Paul Mitchell.)
Side note: Usually when I’m getting my hair done, I get to see what Chuck is up to with his client’s hair next to me. Seriously, those women leave with the most GORGEOUS blowouts. I swear it’s like he only has models for clients or something.

I moved down to Texas in May. My last haircut in MA was back in March. I was fortunate however that my boyfriend and his friends had a friend whom was a stylist. All the girls go to Allison! A couple weeks ago I finally broke down and made an appointment with her. Now let me give you a little back history about my hair…
For over a year now I have been dying my hair red; different shades of red. My goal color had a decent amount of copper in it however. My natural hair color is a med-​dark brown. Back in MA my stylist had found my hair never wanted to take the red properly. We had trouble getting it a lighter shade I wanted.
Now, lets flash to a couple weeks ago! I arrived for my appointment and met with Allison. We discussed the color first. I showed her a picture a color I loved and we went from there. Allison asked me questions that no other stylist has ever done before (with color and cut). When it came time to discuss my cut I again showed her a picture of one I had done previously which I loved. It had an angle to it.
In the end Allison is amazing! I received the best cut, color and service I have ever received! Allison listened to what I wanted and achieved it. She did admit that my hair didn’t get as bright as she was expecting (again red seems to not take to my hair as well), but it was perfect! It was lighter, brighter than I ever had and just what I wished for. Allison was very gentle with me. She didn’t pull my hair too rough. When it came time to rinse my hair she was gentle and I definitely became very relaxed.
The services are on the higher end, however you are receiving a quality service and experience. It was worth every penny! I will definitely be returning to Allison again! I definitely understand why all the girls in our group go to her!

I absolutely cannot say enough about this hair salon or rave about it enough to my friends. So much so, that I have followed Chuck from Clarksville, to UT area, to the burnet location and probably would follow him to Dallas and beyond should he ever move (chuck, if you read this, in the words of the clingy chick from Wedding Crashers: DONT EVER LEAVE ME!)
Per my previous reviews, even though i was somewhat of a hairstyle virgin before stepping into Chuck’s salon and chair for the first time, I have now sampled the haircare rolodex with Chuck, each time leaving with absolutely gorgeous, vibrant and most importantly to me, NATURAL looking hair. Chuck has cut, trimmed, brazilian blowout (ed?), ombréd, re-​ombréd, color corrected and most recently… brought me back to my original hair color, all for more than a fair price point, flawless experience (there’s a full bar selection of drinks, candies, even TABLETS to keep you occupied).
The salon vibe is friendly and welcoming and the place is immaculate without that sterile «I dont belong in here ’cause I’m not coiffed enough» aura. I’ve sent about 3 friends and 2 Unilocalers to Chuck based on reviews and verbal affirmations, all who have LOVED results. So, even though it’s not like the Unilocal reviews isnt enough (THE SALON IS VOTED TOP 3 IN AUSTIN!), add yet another glowing review of the Chuck Edwards Salon experience to the mix!
