Maximum Image Hair Salon

For the first few cuts I have received… SARAH was pretty good.
I went in last week for a total short cut, showed her the picture and she said ok.
Left feeling so disappointed. SHE didn’t even blow dry my hair or style it. She even charged me $ 25 for a «trim» on my daughters hair, which took less then ten minutes.
SHE seemed in a rush and then she only wanted cash, because she couldn’t take a card!!! The other lady swiped my card and SARAH was «I have to go», and walked out with her purse in hand.
Went home and my hair was lopsided. uneven, and awful looking.

For me, one of the highlights of moving back to Austin has been coming back to a salon where people know your name and treat you as more of a friend than a customer. Anna and Matty have been cutting my hair for years, and have always done a phenomenal job, and taken the time to get to know me. It’s rare to find places like this these days, and this is the exact reason that our entire family has kept coming back year after year.

Go see Matty. Half of my family and friends went to see her and now they look somewhat respectable. Seriously, she doesn’t harm a hair on your head. I usually fall asleep while she’s working. Maximum Image has a very professional staff and their pricing leaves room for a well deserved tip. It’s past Westgate on Slaughter (on the right), next door to the Driving School. Go Check em out.

Everything was exceptional until it came time to pay. The facilities are clean, the cut and shampoo fairly priced, and my stylist, Sara, was professional and friendly.
When it came time to pay I wanted to use my card (since I don’t carry cash). One of the employees (or perhaps the owner) was using the phone line in the break room which prevents running cards (since there is only one line).
Sara asked the person to please free up the phone line so her customer could pay.
5 minutes passed and the person was still on the phone with what sounded like a personal call. This is highly unprofessional and is inexcusable in any business when you put your personal interests ahead of a paying customer.
Today’s business world doesn’t tolerate these ideals without consequences.

Maximum Image has definitely helped me maximize my image for the last 7 years all on an affordable budget! This cute salon is nestled in a mini shopping strip in deep south Austin on Slaughter Ln next to Austin Driving School and a gymnastics studio.
Ana, the owner of Maximum Image, has done an excellent job creating a trendy yet warm family friendly salon. It’s not too trendy where you are afraid that you might not be cool enough to step inside or walk out with an extremely «expressive» hair style and it’s not infested with lots of loud reckless children that turn off the twenty-something’s like me. I’ve even seen lots of men come over the years for walk-​ins. They have a broad demographic client base from young children to mature senior citizens of all ethnicities and walks of life.
There are 4 other beauticians that specialize in different services such as up dos, putting feathers in your hair, eyebrow threading etc. Just state what you are wanting done when you call to make your appointment and they will gladly match you with the person who will best meet your needs. And if Spanish is your primary language, then you will feel comfortable coming here as a couple of the beauticians are bilingual.
The clean spacious salon is equipped with all of the standard equipment that you would find at any typical salon including a TV. The bonus is that there is even a massage chair in the back where a masseuse comes in to give scheduled or walk-​in massages if he is available. I’ve gotten one once and absolutely loved it.
Ana is my personal stylist whom I trusted to chop off my hair for Locks of Love shortly after meeting her 7 years ago. I figured if she could handle that then she was a keeper! Not only does she have great skills, she is very friendly, personal, truly listens to any suggestions I have about my hair, gives her honest feedback gently, and has extremely affordable rates.
Examples, if you just want a deep hair wash its only $ 3. Wash with Hair cut is $ 18. Foil highlights for one color $ 75. Wash, trim, foil highlights for two colors, blow dry/​style is $ 125!!! That’s awesome considering some of the super trendy salons on So Co, mall, and downtown charge no less then $ 150 for the last service I listed. And it’s usually closer to $ 175 and higher.
So Maximize your Image without breaking the bank and support this awesome local salon no matter what demographic or population you identify yourself with!!!

Anna has cut my hair since I moved to Austin 6 years ago. She does a wonderful job at an even better price. I have never had anything but compliments on my hair, and it is all because of Anna. She is very sweet too :)

Anna is fantastic at cutting men’s hair. Don’t be fooled by the word «salon» and think it’s for ladies only. No, sir, Anna does it all and kids, too. If you’re looking for a friendly hair professional who is well informed, knows her hair styles, hair products along with a nice atmosphere, you can’t go wrong with Maximum Image Hair Salon. — Jack C.

Martha gave me a great hair cut! She listened to what I asked for. Gave very professional advice! And the best part was the price!
Thanks!!!
