825 Blowdry & Color Boutique

825 Salon has become one of my go-to spots in Austin. I have been seeing Sam for almost a year, and he completely reset my color in a way that feels flattering, natural, and easy to maintain. He has a real gift for understanding what works for your hair type and your day-to-day life, and he delivers it with so much care. He has also done my hair for special events, and those appointments made me feel beautiful and genuinely supported. On lighter weeks, I love stopping in for a blowout before date night. It is simple, fun, and always exactly what I need. The salon feels peaceful and cheerful from the moment you walk in. Sam is incredibly talented with both color and style, and he truly wants you to feel your best. If you are looking for a place you can trust, go to 825 Salon. I recommend

Sam and his team at 825 Salon are not only the fastest, but simply the best in the business for blo-outs. Every single time I've been, I walk away with great looking hair for days, AND i have super thick curly hair. So glad to have them in Austin!

I am very disappointed in the service that I have received - or the lack thereof. I went online and made an appointment with Sam for color and blow dry a few weeks ago. 4 days before my appointment, I got a text saying he isn’t available anymore at that time and they could move me to an earlier slot that day.

Today (day before my appointment), I received an auto-reminder text about my appointment. So I was confused as to whether this appointment still exists or not. I decided to call the salon, and the gentleman who picked up, proceeded to tell me that Sam is not taking any new clients at this time so my appointment is cancelled unless I want to see some other stylist. I

I go to 825 Salon for my keratin treatment and they are MIRACLE WORKERS! I had a ton of new hair growth, but unfortunately it was so frizzy and unmanageable. Sam did a keratin treatment on my hair and it not only feels healthier, but it looks absolutely fantastic, and my frizz is down to a bare minimum. I will be returning to his salon again and again!

When you know you know…this is THE place for you and your hair - come first for the blowout and come again and again for more blowouts PLUS the reason why 825 Salon exists in the first place - founder/owner Sam: the most gracious, hardworking, talented guy in Austin’s haircare community - seriously. Team 825 is there for you and your best hair life - again, because of blowouts from Sam or fabulous Eden and Cici and the other stylists; but additionally because Sam brought with him from Chicago his established years of talent (think he was a teenager when opened his first salon?) - color and cut and significant experience running a thriving business (before he built the 825 he used to commute, but now Austin claims him 100%!). Though 825 Salon is a business, it truly is like a family of the
