Joie de Vie Salon

by GingerMadeleine

I always have trouble finding a hair salon that has stylist that can actually give me a haircut that I like without having to pay an arm and a leg. I am also put off by the snobbery of most high end saloons. Hello! I am paying you to cut my hair. Joie de Vie has a great atmosphere and makes me feel welcome to return for a hair cut or other service. My hair stylist Amanda is awesome and great to talk to. She has been so patient in helping to make sure I get a haircut that I like. I have been happy every time I have been there in the last year!

• Pros: Great atmosphere without the stuffiness
• Cons: parking during events

LOVE this salon!

by jenwils9392

I went to this salon for the first time this past weekend and got a parking spot right up front! My favorite stylist, Angelia Sheets works there and she ROCKS! They had the most adorable flower hair clips there too for a great price! The staff was very friendly, got me a drink and all were real personable. I highly recommend it!!!!!!!!

• Pros: Easy to find, friendly staff, my favorite stylist
• Cons: Parking COULD pose a problem during the day

Great place for haircut and color

by Camilleon

I highly recommend hair stylist Emily Hatfield for a haircut and/or color. Finally, after 5 years of being in the Austin area, I have found a true expert and professional in the hair industry. I have long, straight, heavy hair; that I find sometimes, female stylists have a hard time handling. I'm typically open to whatever hair cutting technique the stylist wants to use, as long as they 'keep the length' ;) ...but extremely picky when choosing color ...having dark brown hair, it's easy to look like a zebra. Emily immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease with her warm, yet outgoing personality, and vast knowledge of hair color and care products. I loved that I could leave so much of the decision making up to her, and came out looking like a million bucks. I live and work in Round Rock, so when my appointment went a little past 8pm, I was surprised and delighted at how welcome the staff still made me feel; and didn't try to rush me out. And finally, the amount of compliments I had on my hair the next day, is enough to know I can and will recommend her and this salon to anyone. Thanks Emily...and I'll see you soon! :)

• Pros: Great hours of operation during the week and friendly staff
• Cons: Typical downtown parking restraints

Happy Hour here is a MUST

by RtotheO

Every other Friday night from 5-8 is happy hour at Joie De Vie. This is the best idea ever, I wish more salons did it. All services are super cheap- it's a great way to get your nails/hair done before going out for the night (just step out the front door and your on 6th Street!)- the best part is, there are FREE DRINKS and FOOD. There's a DJ upstairs, and everyone is having fun. I suggest Happy Hour at Joie De Vie to everyone! I'm pretty sure their site has the dates, I found it just by walking by.

• Pros: Fun environment, friendly staff & stylist
• Cons: None

Amanda Eggimann rocks!!

by LizW

I am fairly new to Austin so finding someone to cut my hair was hard. I'm super picky and didn't know where to go. My friend from work suggested I go here and so I went with it.

My friend raved and raved about how good Amanda was and how much she loved the salon atmosphere. I was a little skeptical at first.

Once I entered Joie de Vie though the staff was very friendly and willing to help you relax while you waited. They had wine, beer, and snacks available and they have a computer upstairs that you can browse on.

Once I met Amanda, she was super friendly and really wanted to know what I wanted. I told her I wanted to get rid of a lot and so she said well how short do you want to go? I was a little nervous at first, but she gave me the best haircut I have ever had.

I have received so many compliments on my hair and would highly recommend Amanda Eggimann to anyone!!

• Pros: Great friendly staff, cool atmosphere
• Cons: Parking

i went to a very upscale "im too good for you" salon and paid WAY over $200 for a cut and color...well it was HORRIBLE. my hair was orange. i had to go back to get it fixed and it was STILL the worst cut and color i have ever had. i went to go see AMANDA and she fixed my hair and made it EXACTLY the way i wanted it. i felt totally comfortable being with her. she listened to what i said and took the time to talk to me about the actual color i was wanting. i left feeling great!! YOU HAVE TO GO SEE AMANDA...SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!

Best Salon Ever!!!

by SassyJane

I recently was referred to this salon by a friend so I decided to check it out. I absolutely loved the experience. I came in for a day of pampering and left in the best mood I have ever been in. From the time I walked in the door, the coordinator(I believe her name was Stephanie) took the best care of me. My stylist, Erin, took her time consulting me on every aspect of my hair and gave me the best cut and color I have ever had. I recommend this salon to anyone who wants that relaxed, Austin experience without paying a hefty price!

• Pros: Friendliest atmosphere and talented stylists!!!
• Cons: parking
