About

AMBER Salon & Headspa is a salon and head spa in Austin, Texas, located in suite C107 of the white buildings behind Half Price Books on North Lamar Boulevard. The salon's work centers on scalp health and hair regeneration alongside hair styling, and it is owned by trichologist and hairstylist Aoife McCarthy.

The menu covers color, including highlights, balayage, glosses, grey coverage, full custom color and wig coloring, along with cuts such as dry cuts shaped to each client's texture and daily styling. Extension options include Combline fills, extension move-ups, handtied rows, mesh integration, micro tips, tapeless tabs and non-permanent and semi-permanent toppers. For hair loss, the salon offers consultations, jet plasma sessions and a six-week ROOT Method restoration program.

Prices are hourly and depend on hair length and density, so new clients booking full custom color are asked to schedule a consultation first to talk through goals and receive an exact quote. A hair loss consultation includes a detailed scalp analysis using scalp-scoping technology, and clients receive an emailed report with recommendations, treatment options and next steps. Head spa appointments run 30 minutes or 1 hour, and a blowout or air dry can be added to any of them. Postpartum packages are booked by contacting the concierge by email or phone. The salon does not accept tips.

Memberships for head spa visits, blowouts and hair restoration run for a three-month minimum and are billed monthly on the sign-up date. Unused blowouts or treatments roll over for up to 90 days, and membership discounts do not apply to color or extension services. Buy Now, Pay Later financing is offered for bookings between $50 and $4,000, with approval obtained before the appointment. The salon describes its extension methods as the best and safest available, and says its products are clean, non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Pairs scalp health and hair regeneration with hair styling, using clean, non-toxic products and practices.
