Too risky – I went to this salon seeing great reviews online. But it turned out to be a risky deal for me. I think my hair dresser did not do a good job of setting my expectations and fulfilling them appropriately. Ofcourse I wanted a new look and that's why I was there. But I got a feeling that a lot of damage was done in terms of style. Uneven locks, just plain gauchy. Even worse was that the hair dresser was trying to pass his work off as a piece of art. I was so embarassed to sport my hair in public. I have been pinning ... read more

The best haircut that I have had in a long time! – I read the other positive feedback about Chris Kirkpatrick and it is all very accurate. He was very honest about the haircut that I had in mind (WAY too much maintenance) and he cut it in a very stylish, low maintenance style that fits my lifestyle. He is very professional and he made me feel very comfortable. I cannot recommend him enough. Orbit Salon is a very cool place and the location is within walking distance of a lot of places in the downtown area. The prices are ver... read more

Christian Kyle is a rockstar! (literally and figuratively) – Like previous reviewers have said, Orbit Salon is a great fit for Austin. It is both unpretentious and cool in the same style of the city. When I called to make my appointment, Christian Kyle actually answered the phone and got me in very quickly. I was referred to the salon by a friend on a local chatboard, and used to live in Chicago so was thrilled at the accessibility of someone who was recommended as highly as he was to me. I was thrilled with the haircut that... read more

Excellent-Chris Kirkpatrick – I've never written a review before but because it's been so difficult to find a really good colorist/stylist in Austin (I've tried several over the last 3 years) I'm compelled to let people know they can finally stop searching. I had an appointment with Chris Kirkpatrick at Orbit Salon today and I am thrilled with the results. I have been flying from Austin to LA to get my hair done because I've been so disappointed with the hair options in Austin. I was ready to give up hope of ever finding a l... read more

Great hair services, so-so pedicure – I got my hair cut and colored by Chris K., he was great and took the time to make sure we were on the same page before he did anything. I was very pleased with how my cut and color turned out. I've also had a pedicure there which was really mediocre. They use the little pedi foot baths instead of the nice big pedi chairs. This is fine if you are charging nail salon prices, but for the basic "spa" pedi it was $35 and it only lasted about 35-40 minutes. The nail tech was friendly, but was ... read more

Top notch care for your hair-feet-hands! – Last fall I stumbled upon Orbit Salon via the web looking for a place close to my job (UT) and voila! I do not care for "snooty salons" so it was very important to me to find a place with talent, trendiness, and comfortable setting with friendly staff. I love the historical house, the unpretentious atmosphere, colors & coolness, and Lisa Herzog, my stylist. I got a pedicure last fall and the staff at the front told me that Lisa also cut hair great, so I promptly made an appointment.... read more

Best group of hair professionals you will ever want – Not that customer service is the only reason why you visit a salon, but the follow up and coordination amongst reception and stylists is remarkable. From the moment you enter the salon your greeted and treated like a VIP. Read the BIOS of the stylists and your sure to find one that fits your style. I found Chris Kirkpatrick to be a guy with a an intense degree of detail and precision. I honestly feel that when I walk out of this salon, I could not have a better experience... read more

Super Cheap and Super Cool – Okay, this was my first time at Orbit and I'm a freak about switching stylists but I also like to try new people. When I want a haircut, I want it right then and there. I called on a Monday (they're closed on Mondays) and I was booked for an appointment Tuesday. I am extremely indecisive when it comes to hair but I know that my hair is way to thick and needs help but I don't know how to say it. Well, I got Jamon and he rocked it! My hair has never been this light feeling. Not to mention he turned... read more

Cool-Fun Environment, Friendly too! – First time customer. Had my hair cut by the coolest girl, Kristina. She took the time to ask me what I wanted and informed me how she could work with my hair. She did an awesome job on the cut and style! All my friends dug my new cut. There was no pressure on product sales. She mentioned what products she used on me in case I liked how the products handled my hair and if I ever wanted to buy the products elsewhere. Really cool people and place. Totally recommend it!
