Carmen Allison. Carmen cut my hair in Nashville for over 8 years. Believe me when I say she will be sorely missed by a legion of fans! She is the BEST there is with both cut and color. So good in fact that I keep trying to figure out ways to go to Texas for her to cut my hair!

Austin's Best Colorist. I have never had a stylist know so much about what my hair needed and the right color for my skin tone. Carmen Allison was honest about what I should and shouldn't do with my hair. If you are looking for a stylist who can honestly call herself an expert, go to her!

Lauren: great highlights, lots of compliments!. Lauren highlighted my hair about a month ago. I was doing blond highlights for the first time in years and was very nervous about the decision. Lauren basically made all the decisions regarding the highlights, with my approval of course, including how blond to go and placement choices.

Lauren completed my highlights in great time and I was very excited with how they turned out. When I left Electra, my hair looked awesome.

Since then, I have had several customers at my job, a restaurant, ask me who did my highlights. Lauren's styling techniques must be impressive to all walks of life since all the women have ranged from (guessing) 20 to 55, edgy to conservative, etc. you get the idea!

Abby Mitchum. I have been going to Electra Beauty Lounge for a couple of years....after my personal hairstylist moved out of town, she referred me over to Abby Mitchum. Fortunately I knew Abby personally, and was excited to transition over to her as a client. Abby is friendly and extremely knowledgeable about hair. I have flip flopped between blonde and brunnette colored hair over the years and Abby has done an EXCELLENT job at making knowledgeable decisions on colors and tones all w/ minimal damage to my hair! :) I love her and love our conversations.

Lauren does a great job everytime!. As a guy that just doesn't want to get the run of the mill cut from a stranger, I can say that Lauren does exactly what you want done. She makes me look cooler than I am! It's also just a great environment at Electra. Always good.

Awesome!. Abby cut my hair a few weeks ago. I was a walk-in, so I had no idea what to expect. But she did exactly what I wanted, and I've had so many compliments since! It's the best haircut I've had since I've lived in Austin! Abby, you rock!

Abby = awesome highlights!. Abby made my hair look amazing both times I've visited her! She is intuitive, skilled and experienced, and I loved how she took time to understand what I wanted. She was meticulous in getting right down to the roots and giving me a well-blended, natural look by choosing the right color and using many foils.

She also gave me an awesome head massage when she washed my hair - major bonus points!!

A great experience. I've been to Electra a couple of times now and really like it. It has a great atmosphere. Lauren was my stylist and she was great. Would highly recommend.

Abby is amazing. I'm new to Austin and I had a great salon back in my old town, so I was nervous about having to switch. I can't believe I scored so well on my first try. I've been back twice now and both times I've loved the results.

My stylist is Abby. She's a total magician with color - she fixed my messed-up multi-dyed hair, made it look great and feel really healthy. She also has a great eye for picking out colors. I like my hair just a shade darker than natural, and it's really easy to go TOO dark, it's a very fine line. The shade she suggested was exactly what I wanted and looks amazing.

If you have short hair, you should also give Abby a try - I wear my hair really short (like pixie cut) and I've had some stylists who give me 'boy cuts' or awkward shapes. Abby gave me a funky, messy, feminine pixie cut that is super easy to style and was exactly what I had in mind. If I move out of Austin I might seriously consider coming back just for her services. :)

Jené is totally rad!. Jené has been my stylist for over 8 years now. I drive from Dallas to Austin to get my hair done. My Big D friends dog because I make the long drive for just a "hair cut", but she's worth the drive. I've had 2 hair-affairs in the last 8 years that I regretted. I will never again. This woman is awesome at her craft & just awesome to be around. I totally trust my locks in her hand. MWAH!
