Karu salon

Hair Play is full of character, talent and great hospitality. The owner (Fritz) took care of me personally and I can truly say I've never left a salon happier. My hair went from dead and dried to healthy and alive! The company and conversation made me feel right at home and I am without a doubt that Hair Play is my new go-to salon. More...

I just started going here this past Fall and absolutely love it. Just simply walking in is my favorite because the interior is decorated very old and classy. You'll see upside down hand mirrors hanging. The customer service is more than pleasant and comfortable. Just everyone makes you feel good. My hair dresser is the best yet. I'm sure they all are wonderful but Anna is AMAZING. She is super sweet and chill and knows so well with how to give you the style you want with it still looking flattering on you specifically. Of course I'll always recommend her! More...

I came in to see Kari for a color correction. Kari's technique is excellent, and she did a great job on my hair. I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted and was nervous, but Kari took that and listened to me thoroughly and recommended what would be best for my look. I especially love my hair now, once it faded, it's even better! Thanks Kari!!! More...

Anna is incredible! I have been going to her for over a year now and she never disappoints. She is very good at understanding just what style I'm looking for. I tend to stick to subtle highlights that add a bit of dimension to my hair, and she's awesome at making them look very natural. Also, the salon atmosphere is wonderful. The salon is decorated beautifully, and the nice receptionist offered me a variety of different beverages upon my arrival. More...

Every time I am in Texas, I can’t wait to have Kari do my hair. She always exceeds my exceptions. This is the first time I said, "I want a makeover. " I wanted some length cut off. Other than that…I said, “I trust you. Do what you do.” I received the best cut and color I have ever received! I love my new look so much and I have never received so many compliments on my hair EVER!! So very happy with the results and I will return to Texas, from Ohio, for more cuts in the future! Thank you so much Kari @ Karu! More...

I had the best experience at KaRu Salon! Needed a makeover for my long hair that reached the middle of my back. I was very nervous because I have always had long hair but had a desire for a more updated look. Kari really listened to what I wanted and how long I wanted to spend styling my hair every morning. My color and cut is even better then I imagined. Kari took the time to educate me on how to use styling products to fit my hair care needs and showed me how to style my hair for a casual look and then a dressy look. LOVE my hair and the experience I had. I will be coming back to this salon!! More...

Highly recommend the whole team at Karu Salon!

I've received all forms of cut and coloring services from several of the lovely women at Karu since I moved to Austin in 2007. A huge fan of Kari's, I followed her to KaRu, where she has created a classy, warm, nurturing salon with an elegant, vintage flair.
If you're looking for a team who can integrate your practical needs with your desire to be self expressed, you've found the right place. I always leave feeling happy, educated about how to maintain my 'look' and well supplied with products I love. Best part: I can book online! More...

I love this place! Tina is amazing! She is so kind, open-hearted, and wonderful to be in the chair with. Gotta love those ginger dreads! She gives me amazing color with great cuts--just what I ask for. I have total trust and let her do her thing. Getting my hair done used to be a chore, but now I look forward to it! My best friend and I both see Tina for color, and she rocks it! Every. Time. Dionne is amazing at cutting my friend's curly hair. It always looks fierce. She also did a wonderful job styling our hair for my friend's wedding. Couldn't recommend this place more! More...
