Maximum FX Salons

This place is amazing! After missing a blowout appointment at another salon before my friend’s wedding, my boyfriend came to my rescue and found this awesome salon that had a perfectly timed appointment before the wedding. The price was right (cheaper than the other blow outs in the same area-​$ 38), they offer a free spa treatment while your hair is being washed, and they did a great job. They even gave me a free hand massage and lipstick application while my hair was being done. A couple weeks later I got a thank you note from my stylist that was personal and sweet – even though I live out of state. I highly recommend, especially if you enjoy the Aveda brand.

Met with Jake the morning after I cut off 10 inches. He shaped and cleaned up my cut perfectly and gave new the cutest shag. I loved the experience. I got a free stress treatment during the shampooing, a hand massage and lip color application, (with a product and color that I love and wear every day now,) during the cut. Jake was fun and did a great job. He really listened and gave me just what I wanted. I love my look. Nikki’s hand massage felt great. I can’t wait to go back and I’m recommending it to everyone that I know. I got $ 20 of my bill because a friend recommended the salon to me via thier website and she got $ 20 too. I will get $ 20 off next time to because I’ve already told another friend about it through thier website. Making an appointment was easy and super convenient. I can’t wait to learn more about and try the member services. Go there and ask for Jake. Here’s great with long hair. :)

Last minute blow out for me and my bestie. Very friendly and accommodating. Deep condition and cuticle treatment was a nice addition. (deep condition costs extra but worth it)

Whitney is the bomb. Not only does she give a fantastic cut, she’s a blast to talk to. I’d recommend her to anyone. She’s great and the salon is beautiful

I LOVE this salon and all the staff! From the moment you walk through the door you are made to feel special. I have «problem hair» as I like to call it and Jake and Gretchen manage to keep it looking so healthy and stylish I get compliments!

I’ve had great haircuts from Anastasia, Savannah, Whitney and CeCe. All of the staff are top notch and really care that you leave with exactly what you want.

Michael did a great job with my haircut. He was so patient and thorough and completely fixed a bad haircut I received elsewhere. He is very patient and professional. Highly recommend!!!

Jake is amazing! I have never had a better haircut. The salon is very nice as well. They offer a free treatment every time you go on. Last time, I had a hand massage as I was getting my hair cut. And then, a lady came around and offered to put lipstick on everyone (with a new q tip, of course). She found a shade that I now love and wear daily. They also sell Aveda products.

Just got my hair done by Candy. I have curly hair and always have a hard time finding someone to trim it so it sits right. She knew right away what was wrong with the layers that were cut and fixed it all. Love my curls even more! Thanks Candy!

Service is great. Reservations need some work told me to come at 1230 but appt is 130. Worth the wait???

The salon is well run, with a friendly staff. Always smells nice because of all the Aveda products.
Michael has been cutting my hair for about two years now, and I think he’s awesome. I always like the way my hair turns out (and he’s styled it both short and long), and I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it. Michael’s easy to talk to and always asks before putting finishing products in my hair (which can get weighed down with them pretty easily). Plus, the price is right, and it’s simple to make an appointment online.
I highly recommend this place!

Had a great cut experience with stylist, Jay. I will be going back, especially as this location has excellent evening hours.

This was my 2^nd time at this salon (same stylist), thought i had finally found a replacement stylist. I went in and gave the stylist a picture of what I wanted. Stated that the cut i had received in March didn’t work, my hair grows to fast and becomes heavy and begins to lay flat… when she was done i had the exact same cut i received in March… i said to the stylist this isn’t what i asked for… where are the bangs… i walked out with a 70’s shag cut with no bangs… go figure… don’t mind paying the high prices, however i want to get the cut i request not what the stylist seems to think i want… should have stated my discontent at the salon but didn’t want to embarrass the stylist…

What a wonderful experience. I had an early morning appointment, and was warmly greeted and well taken care of. Jay did a fabulous job with my hair and her head massage was out of this world. I left feeling beautiful and pampered.

I really love the service I get at Circle C. (I haven’t been to the other.) They bend over backwards to meet all of my needs.

I can’t give enough praise to this place!!! I see Kristin for my color and Michael for my cuts. I have had my hair screwed up by other places in the past but MFX I trust implicitly to do a great job every time!!! The staff is great and I highly recommend them and Aveda products are so great!

I have always had a wonderful experience at Maximum FX! The salon at Circle C is convenient… parking is easy and the atmosphere of the salon has an upscale, but relaxed ambiance. Candy is great at what she does (and quick!). I have loved each cut and style from her!

LOVE LOVE LOVE my new haircut! Totally trusted Jake the first time I met him — and trusted him to cut off approx 10 inches of my hair! Have not gone through hair cut shock at all! So glad my friend recommended I go to Jake! He’s fantastic — you will love your haircut from him!

Jay did a superb job on my daughter’s very challenging hair. It was time for a major overhaul — 7 inches — on her dry, coarse, wavy hair. Jay was confident & professional as she dove in. And she snipped & clipped until the hair was perfect. When she was done, my daughter’s hair cut was glorious & it all feel into place.
Highly recommend the salon, & especially Jay.

I’ve lived in Austin for about 5 years now, but have never bothered to find a salon to do my hair because I was visiting my hometown (and salon there) often enough. However, now that I live in the adult world and don’t have as much time to scamper on home, I decided to find a salon here.
My only requirements were that it had a good Unilocal rating (of course), was an Aveda salon (it’s just so awesome), and that it be reasonably priced. So here we are! I booked an appointment online and got both confirmation texts and emails, which was great.
My appointment with Whitney was wonderful. She wasted no time finding out what I wanted and got started with the scalp massage (!) immediately. She was very friendly and we had a good time talking. It was very different from the other Aveda salon I was going to, which had a more spa-​like atmosphere, but it was fine because she was so fun! Normal shampooing (and more head massaging) with a hand treatment (that I chose) was great, as was my haircut. During the haircut, a guy actually came by and gave me a hand massage, which was really unexpected but really awesome! Overall, it was a fantastic experience — no wait time, I felt like I was well cared for, and just a fun experience overall! I would absolutely recommend this to any of my friends living down south, with an extra recommendation to go to Whitney! She is getting a lot of love on Unilocal,and it is well deserved. You’re awesome!
