Can anyone recommend a good salon in Austin (pref central, N or NW) for some treatments for my 14 yr old daughter?

She'd like to have her eyebrows shaped (maybe threading?) and I thought I'd treat her to a few more things too, she deserves it!

thanks all!

Default JR on Burnet

I had recently asked about finding a place for short, funky haircuts, and got a few replies.

A coworker recommended JR on Burnet and 49th. They are associated with, but are not the same as, Jackson Ruiz elsewhere in town.

The staff there were friendly and young, and they have clients of all ages, men and women, as I observed when I was there last week. I saw moms and daughters getting their hair done together, and lots of solo customers.

They have staff dedicated to color only, and then stylists. They also have staff dedicated to waxing, eyebrows, etc.

They are an Aveda products store, so everything smells really nice.

I don't know what they charge for eyebrows there, and I don't know if they do threading there, but...

1. You pay a flat fee for a cut, $45, no tipping allowed.
2. You get a scalp massage.
3. You get a hand massage.
4. You get a makeup consultation, if you want it.

So for that fixed price, it seemed like a good deal to me. I saw a young woman named Frankie, she was great. She just cuts and styles hair, no color, no eyebrows.

My wife goes to Avant Garde Salon Spa on Capital of Texas Hwy next to REI and Whole Foods. I know she really likes it there. Since it's in a strip mall, I'm able to wander around in REI while she's in there. I don't think it's that expensive, but I really have no idea.

Jamila Salon on Rockwood. They specialize in threading and have a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Thanks all - I called around some friends too and got a recommendation for a lady who owns a salon called 'Hair it Is' on Balcones Woods Dr - she fitted us in at 10.30am, she was wonderful and the eyebrow threading was only $10!
