About

Mint Salon opened in 2000 on the idea that happy stylists make for happy clients. Much of its business comes from repeat visits and referrals, and many clients have been coming since the early years. Building long-term relationships with clients is the salon's stated top priority.

The salon describes itself as hip yet comfortable, with a friendly, approachable team and a neighborhood feel on a central urban strip. Its work has been featured in Austin Monthly, Tribeza, LA Weekly and Martha Stewart Weddings, and on various news and film sets. The home page cites the Austin Chronicle as naming Mint the best salon in town.

The team offers cutting and styling, color and processing, and specialty services. Color work runs from glosses and one-step color through partial and full highlights, balayage, ombre and corrective color. Keratin Express and keratin straightening are also available, and relaxers and corrective color are priced on request. Stylists set their own fees, which can include extra charges based on the time and products needed to reach a client's goal. All listed prices are starting prices. Extensions are priced after a consultation.

Off-site and private bookings are available, including customized wedding and bridal packages. The salon says all of its stylists graduated from top-tier beauty schools and take ongoing education at Bumble and bumble University and the Aveda Institute. Booking is by phone or online, and some stylists take bookings by email only.

The salon is built around the idea that a comfortable, well-supported stylist gives clients a better experience, and it leans on continuing education and long-standing client relationships.
