Our Mission: Empowering Curls, Celebrating Diversity, and Supporting a Sustainable Future
At Austin Curls, we believe that life is better when you embrace your natural texture—and in Texas, that means working with the humidity, not against it! That’s why we proudly champion “Keep Austin Curly.” Our mission is to help clients celebrate their curls, coils, and waves while contributing to a more inclusive, educated, and sustainable world. We provide a space where everyone, no matter their background or identity, can feel empowered to express themselves authentically through their curls. Guided by our core values of Inclusivity, Education, Community, and Conservation, we are committed to offering exceptional curl care with a positive impact on our planet and our community.
Inclusivity
Austin Curls is built on the belief that curls are for everyone. It’s estimated that 60-70% of the world’s population has some form of texture in their hair. Curls transcend racial, gender, and sexual boundaries, and we are committed to serving clients from all walks of life. We strive to create a safe, affirming space for every individual, no matter their race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Our team is trained in working with all curl types, from loose waves to tight coils, so that everyone can feel seen, valued, and empowered to embrace their natural texture.
Education
We believe education is key to exceptional curl care and confidence. Our stylists receive continuous training on the latest techniques and products, ensuring they can offer the best service for every curl type. But we don’t stop there—education extends to our clients. At Austin Curls, we ensure that every client leaves the salon knowing exactly how to care for their curls at home. From product recommendations to styling tips, we provide the tools and knowledge necessary for clients to nurture their natural texture, no matter where their curl journey takes them.
Community
Austin Curls is proud to be part of the vibrant, diverse community of Austin and its surrounding areas. Our salon is a space where people can gather, connect, and feel accepted. We actively participate in local events, support causes that uplift marginalized communities, and partner with organizations that give back to the city that supports us. Through our work, we aim to foster a sense of belonging and pride in our local community, knowing that our success is rooted in the people we serve.
Conservation
We believe that caring for curls goes hand-in-hand with caring for the planet. As a Green Circle Salon, we are committed to sustainability by recycling up to 95% of our waste, including hair clippings, color tubes, plastic, and more. We also incorporate eco-friendly tools like EcoHeads, which reduce water usage by up to 65%, we use biodegradable Bio Towels to minimize our environmental footprint and many more. Our commitment to conservation extends to the products we use, ensuring that they are organic and environmentally conscious, so your curls look great without compromising the planet.

Our Approach To Curls
Two-Cuts-in-One
At Austin Curls we use various cutting techniques but we are certified Ouidad, It’s really two haircuts in one. The exterior cut which designs the style you want, then the interior cut which is sectioning your hair and carving and slicing into your natural curl pattern to enhance your curl and eliminate the triangle effect.
Austin Curls FAQs
At Austin Curls, we strive to provide exceptional service and care for all our clients. We understand that you may have questions about booking appointments, preparing for your visit, and what to expect from our services.
Whether you’re a new client or a returning one, these FAQs will help you navigate our booking process, consultation requirements, and service preparations with ease.
How do I book an appointment?
Booking an appointment is easy! Simply click here to book now!
Is a consultation required?
Yes, for color services, a consultation is necessary one to three days before your appointment. This allows your stylist to understand your chemical history and formulate a custom color or treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Why do I have to complete new client forms?
Completing the forms is essential for your stylist to understand your hair history and goals, ensuring they can curate the ultimate experience for you and your curls.
How should my hair be when I come in for my appointment?
We recommend coming in with minimal product, air-dried, and without it being pulled back by any clips or ponytail holders.
Does a wash come with my service?
Absolutely! We double shampoo your hair with all of our cuts, styling, and treatment services.
What if I want a haircut and a color service?
You have options! You can either book a color consultation first and then schedule your color service and haircut for a couple of days later. Alternatively, many clients prefer to book their haircut and color consultation together and then schedule the color service at a later date.
If I want my haircut to a short tapered length, do I book a regular cut or a tapered cut?
If your hair is longer than your ears at the time of the service, you would book a regular haircut. However, if your hair has not yet grown past your ears by your next appointment, you would book a tapered cut.
What do I book if I just want a trim or shaping?
You would still book a haircut regardless of how much or how little hair you want to be cut off. This is because curly hair requires a thorough cut due to its unique texture and growth pattern, making it more prone to dryness, frizz, and breakage.
If I get a curly cut, can I still wear my hair straight?
Absolutely! Just communicate your specific lifestyle and styling preferences to your stylist. They will tailor your cut to allow for versatility, ensuring your hair looks amazing whether worn straight or curly.
How often should I get my haircut?
We recommend getting haircuts once every 3-5 months. Additionally, salon treatments every 2-3 months are advised for optimal hair health.
