About

Arco sits in East Austin, a short walk from East 6th Street and Rainey Street, with covered and street parking right by the entrance on Navasota Street. Clients can book online through the website or by phone at 512-237-7677, or walk in. Hours are Monday 1pm to 7pm, Tuesday through Friday 10am to 7pm, and Saturday 10am to 5pm, with Sunday closed.

The menu is built around quick, practical services. Blowouts come in several lengths: the Arco Blowout runs 45 minutes for short to medium hair, the Arco Extended Blowout takes 60 minutes for long or thick hair, and a 30-minute Dry Style works on dry, clean hair. Textured hair has its own 90-minute Dry Style Extended. A Special Event Up-Do is 60 minutes and is booked separately from a blowout. Hair treatments include a 20-minute, three-step Milbon Smoothing Treatment that comes with a take-home booster pack, and it does not include a blowout. Summer combinations pair that treatment with either a standard or extended blowout.

Nail services cover dazzle dry, gel and regular polish manicures and pedicures, with tiers from essential through rejuvenating or transformative. Gel-X extensions, a builder gel that adds length and strength to natural nails, and gel or SNS removal are all available. Pedicures from the signature tier up include an aromatic soak. Makeup services are also offered. Clients can add a head massage with an aromatic towel wrap, a 15-minute massage to any pedicure, a hair mask, French tips or nail art, and nail repair for chipped or broken nails.

Sparkling wine is offered to clients. Every metal tool used in nail services is sterilized in a dry-heat sterilizer, and the salon says that sterilizer meets one of the strictest hygiene standards of any salon in Austin. Digital gift cards are sent by email instantly in any amount and can be used toward any service. Payment is cashless, with credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and tap-to-pay accepted.

The salon emphasizes hygiene in its nail services, sterilizing every metal tool in a dry-heat sterilizer, and keeps its prices in line with its live booking system.
