i heart orbit salon! – i had to find a new salon after my last sylist blew town. boy did i ever get it right with orbit! the atmosphere is SO austin: unpretentious, kitchy, laid-back, upbeat, inviting. from the friendly front desk staff and beverage station up front to the personalized stylists' suites, every appointment is like visiting a old friend. i chose chris kirkpatrick as my stylist for his years of experience and numerous accolades but had no idea he would be so friendly and personable. his skill as a stylist/colori... read more

The perfect fit for Austin – My sister told me about Orbit hair Salon, knowing that I was quite particular about going to new places to get my hair cut. I love so many things about Orbit, from the curb appeal to the tunes the play in the waiting area. My hair stylist, Chris Kirkpatrick, was the sweetest thing ever. He gave me an amazing hair cut, and would even explain why he cut hair the way he does, which I appreciated. It was a nice experience- the people were so friendly! It's easy to set an appointment and they have man... read more

Disappointing and dirty – I was disappointed at the hair experiences both I and a family member had on two separate occasions. We both received cuts from Rhonda who came recommended with great cutting skills on the website, but seemed more concerned with hurrying to finish when she found out neither of us were interested at the time in purchasing additional products or services other than those we'd booked. My cut was mediocre, and my styling nonexistent (she left it wet). When my family member stated that she did not want a... read more

Business response:

I was certainly sorry to read about this young lady's. Just to let ya'll know, we always include blow dry and styling with the haircut price (unless you prefer to leave with it wet). Sometimes an assistant or another stylist will do blow outs for us. On the mess. It sounds like she caught us on a busy day during lunch. Point well taken. We'll clean up more! Christian

Kate for a great cut and color! – When I moved to Austin from Europe I had trouble finding a good hair stylist. A friend recommended Kate at Orbit Salon. I was a little scared by the high hip-factor when I first walked in, but Kate's professionalism put me at ease immediately. She really listened to what I wanted and cut my hair accordingly. Kate has been my hair dresser for years now and she never fails to deliver great results. Recently she put highlights in my hair and it looks fabulous. Very natural and subtle: exactly w... read more

The name says it all... – This salon is out of this world! I had an awesome time, I was a bit reluctant to go just because I was having a relaxer put in and you hear so many horror stories and such, plus I had fried my hair doing my own back in the day. Anyway I bit the bullet and went, and am so glad I did! The minute I walked through Orbit's doors I felt at ease. Cool music, tricked out decor, and a very informal, inviting atmosphere. Within minutes of my arrival Kristina came over, introduced herself and we went back to w... read more

There's no place like Orbit! – After moving from Chicago, I was desperate for a salon but I wanted talent, funk & an atmosphere that definitely wasn't a "beauty shop". Seeing the blue house, cool sign & then the fab website I was able to choose a stylist & services, plus do it all on-line. Immediately I felt at ease with Rhonda's talent and manner. She listens & takes time to get to know you & your hair's personality (yes, your hair has a personality). She cares so much that what you want & what will work for you is what you... read more

Chris Kirkpatrick! – Today was my first cut at Orbit and I really enjoyed my experience. My stylist was Chris Kirkpatrick. I made my appointment using AIM which was really easy since I was at work and couldn't make a personal call. Chris was very professional and I enjoyed talking with him. He really grasped was I was going for with my short cut and he took the time to "get to know" my hair (his words, hehe) and really give me a good cut that I can work with. Not to mention he gives great shampoo massages! I'll definitely be... read more

Hip Place for All – I've had my hair colored by Michelle for years now! I refer everyone to her because she does an awesome job and incorporates her wonderful personality into her work. She listens to what I want and gives suggestions on how to make my look even better. Everyone I've encounterd at Orbits is really friendly and they always treat everyone really well. One of the few places that has evening appointments. They are great when it comes to working around busy schedules.
