Best Colorist, Stylist and Framesi Educator in Austin

by sherwallace at Citysearch

Salon Valentine is a really cool salon conveniently located in North Austin. I specifically visit this salon to see Carter Lund. Carter is a fantastic stylist specializing in color, color correction and precision cuts. Carter has been a Framesi Educator for 11 yrs. He hosts educational seminars all over the U.S.and photo shoots where he is regularly featured in well known publications like "Ladies Home Journal." Carter is a true professional with amazing business acumen poising him to run successful salons and provide consulting services. When he is not teaching or maintaining clientele bases in Austin and L.A., Carter is attending seminars on the newest color and cutting techniques. He is a true veteran and knows how to correct any color snafu out there; including mine.

I am too young to have gray hair. But I do. I came to Carter after being fed up with my previous stylist's results. Carter patiently worked with me to achieve the results I desired. Today my hair feels like silk and my color is so stunning, my skin glows (even without make-up)! Carter's prices are excellent for the quality and experience you will receive. And he is extremely flexible with schedule. I used to do a lot of traveling for my job. He met me the day after Xmas at 7:00am last year! He manages to successfully balance his busy career with an awesome family.

Carter is simply the best. I would highly recommend him. You will leave with a smile. And the sweetest perk is that he hosts regular promotions like the current one he has going on (see details below). Come by Salon Valentine to meet Carter in his element and check out the gift basket you could win!

Carter Does an Amazing Job!

by DLinz at Citysearch

Carter is such an upbeat person and so are the others in the salon. You can have a glass of wine while reading a book while your color is being done, relax and just forget about the rest of the hustles of your day...( this is what I do!) I have only used Carter at Salon Valentine so I would reccommend Him I know he does great Hair!

• Pros: Great Cut & Color without downtown traffic!
• Cons: Can't think of any to mention... Which says a lot!

great haircut

by critter0027 at Citysearch

Carter Lund is a genius when it comes to cut and color. But beware... he has this thing with unnatural bright red. I gave him free rein once, and had a red in my hair that was a little extreme. Have an idea of the range of color you want, and he does the greatest job!

• Pros: great cut and color
• Cons: have an idea of what you want

Will not be visiting again.

by Vintage220 at Citysearch

I have been here on a few occasions to get my haircut but after this most recent experience I definitely do not plan on visiting the salon again. I arrived early as I always do for my appointments, but was not once greeted during my wait. The entire staff saw me sitting there but did not acknowledge me until my stylist finished with her client and asked if I was getting my hair cut. The shampoo and cut was rushed as it seemed that the stylist might have been running behind, and at the end I was not even asked how I preferred to have my hair styled. After this experience I would rather venture to downtown Austin to get a great experience, both haircut wise and customer service, than drive just 5 minutes to this salon.

• Pros: Modern design, close proximity to home
• Cons: Awful customer service by staff, appointment was rushed

Carter Lund is the best hairstylist i have ever been to...and Ive been to alot in the Austin area. Carter moved from Trends salon just recently and I can tell you that Salon valentine is sooooooo cool. The decor is relsxing and the atmosphere is conducive to wanting to get Carterized...Thats what I call getting my hair done. carter doesnt just do your hair he creates a masterpiece using an Italian style method of cutting and coloring using the finest products on your hair. his scalp treatment are glorious!!!!! Carters ability to know exactly what color and tone to put on a persons head is PRECISE every time. Carter also educate other stylists on how to cut and color I noticed at the other salon his coworkers were consistantly asking him for his help. That definitely says volumes about his professionalism.

If you want to look your best and have an exciting time as well go see Carter at salon valentine

• Pros: my color and cut are the best EVERY TIME
• Cons: carter should own his own place

CARTER T LUND NOW AT SALON VALENTINE!!! MUCH BETTER LOCAL!

by britanie78727 at Citysearch

I love Carter, he is a genius. I would follow him anywhere. This salon is great, very clean, modern (yet warm), very fun. Matches Carters personality much better...

Bottom line.. its not the place, its the person behind the chair that counts.

Again last night, I gave Carter 'free artistic reign" to do what he feels best for my cut and color.. Again, he amazes me and never disappoints! It looks FANTASTIC, natural yet fun hues of brown and hints of red, nothing extreme, but just right for me... sassy, fun, flirty.... LOVE IT..

His 21 years exp and his accreditation as a World Wide FRAMESI ITALIAN COLOR specialist - pays off!

He is the best I have been to in years. I am faithful and proud to be colored and cut by this master!! Not to mention he really makes it a TRUE - "EXPERIENCE". Its not just a visit to get your hair done, its an "experience".... and did I mention the best hair wash ever! You have to go see him!

• Pros: EVERYTHING!!!!
• Cons: NONE

Best kept salon secret!

by KittyPuckett at Citysearch

I have just come from an appointment with Carter Lund at Salon Valentine in Round Rock. I have been a faithful & consistent patron of his at "Trendz" in Austin for the last couple of years. Salon Valentine is the "breath of fresh air" that reflects Carter's attitude. Clean, friendly, warm, modern & alive. Carter stays educated & ahead of the curve on all the latest trends & styles. Every visit is "all about the client".
