Best

Evelyn Esquivel has done my hair a couple of times and has done by far the BEST job with the coloring. She did exactly what asked and my hair color came out beautifly. Not only is...

Worst

Anna Lisa was touted as a color specialist. Having been a color specialist, myself, for 13 years I can assure you she is not. I asked for a full head of highlights and expressed...

Prissy is the BEST 6/3/2009

Prissy Gonazales (EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR as selected by Visible Changes) has been great to visit over the last 2 years. As a guy I don't want to have my hair cut more than once every 6 weeks... but she makes my hair look great and the visit enjoyable! Pros: Extremely courteous and on the ball Cons: None, now that they opened the La Cantera location... more

Gabriel is wonderful with cut and color. Just had my color done three weeks ago and I have had many comments on how natural and beautiful the color is...yep, it isn't out of a box... Pros: great color more

Gabriel is the BEST! 5/27/2009

I have been going to Visible Changes for years now. Gabriel has been doing my hair from the beginning. My color is amazing all of the time. I love his honesty when an idea is not good and he explains why. He is funny and makes the trip enjoyable even when I am extremely tired and grumpy. My cuts grow out beautifully and I have never been unhappy with one of his cuts or color. I get so many compliments on my hair and have since he first started. I will never go anywhere else. Pros: Best color and cut EVER! Cons: Expensive but soooo worth it. more

Thanks Elena! 5/27/2009

Elena at Visible Changes has been cutting my hair for something like eight years, during which I've experimented with a short bob, long hair, bangs, etc... I've always had a great experience for a very reasonable price, and there is no other stylist I would trust as much with my hair! Pros: great service, facility, and atmosphere Cons: the wait might be a bit long more

Thanks Riley - I LOVE my highlights 5/13/2009

First of all let me say the new La Cantera Salon is beautiful. Very spacious and bright. Two different people offered me bottled water. Riley did my hair and I have to say she is very friendly and easy to talk to. She took her time and gave me exactly what I wanted. Even more. I did not have it cut this time but will next time. Thanks again Riley for color, highlights, and lowlights. Pros: Lovely salon, friendly service, Cons: cant think of any more

Bad Experience 5/12/2009

What a nightmare. I decided to get my haircut at Visible Change at La Cantera. Now, I wish I never stepped a foot in that salon. The store looked very professional and I thought I would get a good haircut and to my surprise I received a bad haircut and bad customer service. I asked the stylist, Evelyn, for angle bob hairstyle. I had shoulder length hair. I brought in two pictures of the angle bob haircut. One picture showcase the length of the haircut I desired and the other picture showed how I wanted my hair cut in the back. I wanted my hair to gently encircle my neck while angling towards the front of my face. I did not get the haircut I desired. If my mother did not come with me to the salon, I would have walked out with hardly any hair on my head. The stylist started dropping her scissors, flat iron, and comb when my mother grabbed the pictures to compare my haircut to the pictures. She did not clean the hair tools and continue using them in my hair. She knew she gave me a bad haircut and she got busted. Worse than getting a bad haircut, the stylist was arrogant too. She kicked me out of her chair when I asked her not to cut layers at the ends of my hair near my face (tipping) instead of a forward angle line like we agreed upon. I thought a customer was suppose to get the haircut they desire, and they should communicate how they want their hair cut to the stylist. She excused herself for about five minutes while I was sitting in her chair. Then she told me another stylist would cut my hair without any explanation why. She told me I would be sitting in the waiting area for about ten minutes until another stylist could cut my hair. She sent me to the waiting area with a smock on, mirror in hand, hair messed up, and my hair stuck on the smock. Everybody was staring at me (humiliating). The stylist was cutting another clients hair with a smile on her face. The whole salon witnesses the rude behavior and did not care. To add insult to injury, the next stylist asked me why my hair was parted in a weird way. The next stylist finished my haircut. I went to pay for the haircut, and I told the receptionist that I did not appreciate the bad customer service or haircut. She said sorry in a nice nasty manner and asked me to take a picture to keep the picture of the haircut on file like I wanted that haircut again. They do not care how their customers feel has long as they can cut the customer?s hair the way they desire. They would not offer my money back until I complained to the cooperate office. The stylist never apologizes for the rude behavior and the supervisor rallied behind the stylist. They put themselves over the customer when it should be the other way around. What happened to customer first or customer is always right? The stylist forgot that she was performing a service to give a haircut the customer desired and to be nice during the process. Pros: Clean Salon Cons: Bad Customer Service and Haircut more

Elena @ LaCantera 5/11/2009

the LaCantera Visible Changes has a beautiful and friendly environment. I'm always greeted with a smile and if my stylist is runing late the salon calls me to give me a heads up. What service! The staff and Management Team are awesome. Pros: Simply the Best! Creative and Always consistent more

Can't say enough about this place. 5/3/2009

Let me tell you how much I love the North Star location of Visisble Changes. I live in freaking Austin and once a month to every six weeks I go down there to get my hair done. People say..""That's dumb. why do you do that?"" Why? Because it's your hair. And if you're lucky enough to have it, it should look amazing. I mean it's on your head. All day long. Bad haircut? Why not just get an ugly shirt and wear that all month? I drive all that way to see one man. The Greatest Hairstylist on Planet Earth. Gabriel. His skill and creativity knows no bounds. He's seriously Superman with the Scissors and Batman with the Colors. You know how you spend fifteen minutes trying to explain to your stylist what you want your hair to look like and then they just give you the horrific cut they were going to give you anyway? Yeah, you can talk in those vague terms to Gabriel and he will give you not only what you had in mind but make it even better. Also, if you have a celebrity you want it to look like, he will know exactly what you're talking about and how to do it. Really. He's done so many cuts on me for over fifteen years and always knows the coolest, most up to date styles. Add to that he is the nicest, funniest, most charming guy you could spend your afternoon with so you won't be bored sitting in the chair for all that time. And not just Gabriel. The entire staff from the front desk to the shampoo girls are friendly and talented. They know myself and my brother by name and are always helpful and pleasant. Try any of the stylists. My girlfriend even found one she liked and started going with me to San Antonio to get her hair done as well. Also, another of my friends was a skeptic about the drive until Gabriel cut his hair and then he started tagging along with us. Gabriel even went out of his way to fit him into his busy schedule. I've been going there for nearly twenty years since I was a teenager and I think it's only gotten better. Really, if you hate your haircut, you will kinda hate your life. Do something about it. Pros: You look fabulous. Isn't that why you went? Good rates too! Cons: It's in San Antonio:) more

Bad Customers Service 5/2/2009

I decided to get my haircut at the salon at La Cantera. I brought in a picture of an angle bob that trimmed to gently encircle the neck. I asked for a bob haircut that has a horseshoe cut in the back with my hair angled in the front of my face. The pictures of the haircuts shown to the stylist were medium length haircuts (hair falling around the neck). I had shoulder length hair and came out the salon with a chin length bob. Evelyn, the stylist, did not cut the hair in the back to hug my neck. My hair was squared in the back and not rounded. The stylist tried to bob my hair with a flat iron to create the shape. Evelyn took the scissors and was bringing the layers high into the back of my head. My mother asked me if I wanted layer that high in the back of my head, and I said no. After I said no, the stylist stopped cutting the layers that high in back of my head. My mother grabs the picture on the counter to compare it to my haircut and noticed the stylist was creating a haircut I did not request. When my mother looked at the picture, the stylist started dropping the scissors, comb, and flat iron. Then she took the scissors and started snipping vertical layers from the bottom of my hair near my face. My mother noticed that Evelyn was not cutting a forward angle line near my face. She was making my hair look choppy and shorter. My mother asked me if I wanted vertical layers in my hair, and I said no. She had me faced away from the mirror while she cut my hair, which was a big mistake for me. The stylist then excused herself. She came back to tell me that another stylist would be finishing my haircut. My mother and I had to sit in the waiting area for about ten minutes for someone to finish the cut. I was sitting with a smock on with my clipped hair on the smock while waiting in the waiting area. My hair was left just the way the stylist left it after refusing to cut my hair. I felt like a public spectacle and not a value costumer. The stylist did not care how she treated the customer. Everybody was looking at me while the stylist took another client. The stylist walked down the hall to get the supplies for her next client. My mother asked Evelyn politely why she refused to cut my hair after we asked her not to put vertical layers in the hair in front of my face. She just smiled and told us that someone else would be finishing the cut. When the next stylist came to finish the cut, she asked me why my hair was parted with most of my hair on the right side of my head. I told her the stylist left my hair in that manner. Then the stylist had me part my own hair in a center part, and then she finished my haircut. I was unhappy with my haircut. The hair on my left side of my ear was shorter due to Evelyn cutting vertical layer that made the hair on the right side by my ear longer. I walked out the salon dissatisfied, because I did not get the haircut I requested. I told the receptionist that I was not happy with the service Evelyn provided. She was very unprofessional. The receptionist never asked me why I was unhappy with the service, and she did not ask me if I wanted to speak to the manager. They just let me walk out an unhappy customer. I cannot believe they wanted me to pay full price for the cut and take a picture of it to help the stylist cut my hair again like I was coming back. I never had a more horrible experience at a beauty salon. They never asked me what happen or cared how I felt. They believe everything the stylist said without listening to the customer side of the story. I never misbehaved in the salon; I just question how she cut my hair. She could not give me the haircut I requested and acted like I had the problem. Cons: Bad Haircut, Rude, and Don't Value Their Customers more

Awesome!!! 4/14/2009

I have found my hair stylist!!!! This is the first time ever that I'm happy with my haircut. I feel like I went to a makeover! Martin Castanon is a true artist and very friendly. My daughter is looking forward to her new haircut. He suggested that she should let her bangs grow out, so we will wait. I am very thankful for the lady at the front desk who convinced me to go with a Creative Dierctor. She was right. Thank you....thank you....thank you! Pros: Excellent service Best ever haircut more
