no girl ever tries a new hairstylist or trusts a new salon... which is probably why you are reading this. I was once in your shoes... shopping around for the right place to cut my hair. I went to WET because they had good reviews on yelp[dot]com and when i called, a real person answered the phone. The receptionist was very polite and scheduled me for the next day with Leslie. Leslie is wonderful!! During the first 5-10 minutes we went over what i wanted in front of the mirror while she examined the type of hair i had. I asked for se xy hair... and got se xy hair!! I have to admit, she said she liked the length, and kept the length... but it feels so much lighter! I have no clue how she did it I also had color done, it was my first time to get my hair dyed and it came out beautiful. she was very helpful with color selection, and used a new technique that made my hair look extremely natural.. as if the sun naturally highlighted it. Please! get your hair cut here, you will not regret it... especially if you get leslie

For all of you ladies with curly hair, Ryan is your man. We all know how awful a haircut can be on curly hair if not done correctly. Ryan REALLY understands curly hair, he takes his time, is incredibly patient (I have the hair of 3 people), and does not cut any corners. I have had my haircut by several different people since moving to Austin, and Ryan is the only one that has really done exactly what I needed. If you want your hair done right then go to Ryan! He's incredibly pleasant, great at what he does, and has a great schedule. What more could you ask for?

i recently went to Wet Salon needing a hair cut. after reading some reviews i thought i would give it a try and called to make an appointment. they were very willing to book me that day with Ruby. I was nervous going in because i had read a few reviews of ruby that were not very good. but she is very nice. however, i don't think i'll be going back to see her again. when consulting i showed her a picture of what i wanted, but she didn't say anything. instead she said so what do you want me to do. so i showed her the picture again saying that this is what i wanted. when cutting my hair we had a great conversation and anything and everything. however, i started getting concerned when she started using the razor. other stylists in the past used razors on my hair and i was fine. but she seemed to get very happy with this razor and took a lot off, especially in the back. after she cut my hair she handed me off to someone else to wash my hair again ( i have no idea were she went and the new girl washing my hair had no idea either) when my second wash was done ruby came back and finished styling my hair, which in the end i wasn't a huge fan of she made my hair really big on top. i haven't washed my hair yet to see how i can style it, but we will see. as of now i don't think i'll be going back to Wet.
