LEE RODRIGUEZ - PROFESSIONAL STYLIST & COLOR SPECIALISTS

05/19/2008 Posted by Schtuff

Does anyone know where Lee is now? I have lost contact with him and my hair is looking like it is in desperate need of attention from NO ONE else but Lee. I certainly hope that he is still in Austin and still doing hair as he transformed my appearance and I need to keep it looking Lee Good.

Pros: LEE

Cons: Where is he?

I have been a client of Lee's for 6 years. I found Lee based on reviews of his clients. I have been so happy with Lee. His expertise in coloring and hair cutting is outstanding. My color and cut always looks sophisticated and stylish. I love it, my husband says he is "the master" and I get compliments from colleagues that are unsolicited. There is no need to have anyone else touch my hair. Lee is great and makes me look terrific and and feel wonderful about my hair. Give Lee a try. He will become your hair stylisist from now on. . . . . .

Lee is a great man, friend, and will do anything and everything for his clients. I have never seen someone care for their clients as much as Lee does. His skills are incredible and you never have to worry about getting that nervous feeling when he's in control of your hair. The guy is amazing and trully gifted at what he does. I highly recommend him to friends and family all of the time. Let Lee get his hands on your hair and you will never want someone else touching it. I was recommended to Lee from a coworker and most of the office now goes to Lee. All in all...FIND LEE and let him work his magic. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

Pros: THERE ARE NO CONS

I recently went to Lee based on other reviews shared on this website. My stylist/colorist retired a few months ago and I had yet to find what I was looking for in a stylist. My search has finally stopped. I have found my new stylist/colorist. The office staff were very friendly. The premises was very clean and appealing. Lee was absolutely fantastic. Considering I had been with my previous stylist for several years I never really asked what she was doing to my hair. When I went to my appointment I really had very little information that I could give to Lee. He seemed to be able to picture exactly what I wanted. My hair came out beautifully and I have zero complaints. He was very eager and outgoing and I could not have asked for anything more. We conversed as easily as two old friends, with nary a cross word or an ill-mannered joke or comment. I met his wife and daughter and I really felt at home with Lee and his family. It is hard for me to imagine that any of Lee's clients have been displeased with his work, temperment, and/or his manners. Lee put so much work and effort into my hair. It is very evident that he has a natural talent for coloring. Lee is very comfortable, relaxed,and confident in what he does. Lee is very accomodating and friendly and clearly cares about your hair and the way you feel. He does not argue with you or try to force you into making snap decisions. He takes the time to discuss what you would like to see when you leave the salon. When you are happy Lee is happy. I cannot imagine any stylist/colorist in Austin or the surrounding areas doing a better job while keeping such a great outlook. My husband even took the time to write an email to Lee thanking him for his great work. I think that speaks volumes all by itself. Thank you Lee. I know I will be seeing you soon. -R. Pham-

Pros: Lee! Lee! Lee! Oh.... and Lee!

Cons: only 5 o'clock traffic

After reading the reviews on CitySearch yesterday, I called Lee to make an appointment to fix a bland color job. Lee treated me like a queen. He was so friendly and so incredibly competent--he obviously knows his stuff very well, and loves it very much. He gave me beautiful caramel/honey brown color with lighter golden pieces, served me wine while I was waiting under the drying hood, and treated me like I was an old friend. His wife, Mercedes, came by about halfway through to help him out, and she was just as much of a gem as Lee. I went in with a years-old attitude of "I care about my looks, but I don't wear designer clothes, I drive an old car, I have a low-maintenance beauty routine, therefore, I need to keep my look conservative." I thought I might look like a fraud with the beautiful color that I see on people like, oh, say, Jennifer Aniston. But you know what? I walked out of there 3 hours later with movie-star color on my hair, and felt great! It gave me just the lift I needed, and was a great price. Not only does Lee have extremely high standards--he spent over three hours on my hair until it met with his satisfaction (I was happy to leave it to him)--but he also has a ton of passion for his life's work and is totally committed to making his clients happy. Lee has a huge heart, huge talent, and an amazing spirit. I will recommend him to everyone.

Pros: color/highlights, service, staff

Cons: none

I believe a person needs to speak their minds when the moment ask's for it. Not wait a few days, or even a week later to say what's on their minds. Example: I was referred to Lee as a color specialist here on citysearch. After years of coloring my own hair, it started to take a life of its own! I called and made an appointment and was immediately warned that any color correction service done would take awhile BEFORE I went in. So you see, I knew how long it would take, and was well prepared for the long haul. I'm glad that I did because my results were awesome. My hair is "normal" now, and I can see what my natural hair color was with natural colored highlights, not bleached blonde! I am happy with my hair, I didn't throw a tantrum for being there for a long period of time, and I'm planning on going back when the time is needed. It was worth it. I love great conversation, off the wall or even serious. Lee isn't just talented with hair & color, he's also a people pleaser as well as a friendly guy who likes to chat. Nothing more, nothing less. Great work Lee. Thank you for helping my hair to look human again. I'll be back! There - I've put in my two cents!

Pros: Parking, Hours of operation are accommodating, Experienced

Cons: none

was out scouting extra's for a video shoot here in Austin and came across a few girls working in Dillards that had the cutest hair! Bold as I am I asked who they're stylist were, and they both recommended me here to this salon. I was a bit thrown by the name of the salon, but not enough for me to NOT call in an appt. Both Rhonda and Lee were recommended. 2 weeks later I booked a last minute appt with Rhonda, and I have no regrets! I have the BEST new hilites for summer with the cutest "low maintenance" cut! It pays to ask if you like something. Now I have myself a new stylist, new salon. Thanks.

Pros: Hours, Location, Price is right

Found Lee on citysearch & found that the postings do him no justice. I had a consultation one day, came back a few days later & had Lee do my highlights, color & cut.He made the accommodations to meet w/me after hours.It took about 4 hrs due to MY negligence of using a box color 2 shades to DARK! His professionalism is wonderful. I highly doubt he would have ever allowed me to walk out of the salon looking like a wet dog or try to cancel appts just to have a day off.He made extreme accommodations to meet with me after hours due to MY schedule. He know's his work, I'm happy with my results & I'll definitely be back as well as refer others. Lee told me if in a few days I wasnt happy with my hair, he would be glad to give me a refund. Great!

Pros: Experience, Flexible Scheduling, Inexpensive

Cons: none

Lee is a great colorist and stylist - but that's where it ends. Normal highlights and cut take 3 to 4 hours and he talks about himself constantly - often about inappropriate, unprofessional and offending topics. My time with him was tiring and irritating listening to his constant talking. Couldn't wait to leave him and this salon - was angry with his unprofessionalism, talking about himself constantly and I was physically and mentally exhausted after this experience with him.

Pros: color, stylist

Cons: immature, unprofessional, constant talking
