Hair Goddess

by moconamblist at Citysearch

Micky is the sh*t! I have very thick and super straight hair and had bad luck with hair stylists in the past. But since I started going to Micky, I get compliments about my hair everywhere I go. (I am not exaggerating about this.) Micky is very skilled and knowledgeable so not only your hair looks fantastic right after you get a cut, it will continue to look better as it grows.

As one of few color experts in town, Micky is also an excellent colorist. I'd recommend Micky to anyone and everyone!

  • Pros: Best Colorist in Town

Ruby rocks my dome like a hurricane

by Cash Nugent at Citysearch

It is time for this to be said.

Ruby has been cutting my hair for over 6 years now. I have seen her rock everything from a prom dress to military fatigues, all while treating my head as a personal piece of art. I have had long, short, bald, stinky, greasy, afro, slick, and nerdy hairdos since my days in Austin and Ruby as dealt with all of them. Scissors are her samurai sword and she cuts with the precision of a ninja assassin. She is a rad artist and independent filmmaker, so there is lots to chat about.

Point is, if you like crappy cuts and colors, or you are into lame-o hairdressers at the mall, don't got to Ruby @ Wet. But...if you want your lid to be an electric cornucopia of truck stopping radness, do not delay. Jump in your cougar and take a trip to BadAssHairTown. Once you get there, grab a lonestar with the Mayor. Her name is Ruby, and she will set your ass straight.

  • Pros: Convenient, mad skillz, motorcycles, rock and roll

by MagsOgratin at Citysearch

The best salon in Austin hands down. They treat you like royalty without the high prices. It's actually reasonable! I took a picture to Heather that was pretty out there, and she duplicated it perfectly! I wouldn't go anywhere else. ever.

  • Pros: Great prices and edgy, talented artists for the hair
  • Cons: no drawbacks whatsoever

Enjoyed my experience

by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch

My first time at Wet started on my walk up from the parking lot stairs where 3 stylists were smoking and were extremely nice and courteous to make room for my 8 month pregnant body. Upon checking in I was immediately offered a seat and a beverage from my stylist who I had never met before. I had to wait for a minimal amount of time and the actual haircut was great. Ryan listened to what I wanted and did a great job. I will be returning.

Loved WET! ask for Leslie

by takeAnumber at Citysearch

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

  • Pros: go to yelp[dot]com for more reviews on wet.

Ryan is the best hairsylist ever!

by lethllolita at Citysearch

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?

  • Pros: Ryan knows his stuff!
  • Cons: ??? none....
