Best of Austin Beauty
/
I’ve been wanting to do this blog post for a while & I’m so excited to put this list together for y’all! So many clients ask my recommendations for beauty services around Austin and I thought it would be fun to put together some of my personal favorites! I also did polls on instagram for all of my followers to leave me their favorite places too!
Below you’ll find a list of MY personal favorites along with the TOP recommendations from ladies around Austin! If I haven’t personally been to the place that was recommended, I looked up reviews and photos before adding them to this list! I think this is a great list because if several different people unknowingly recommended the same place- thats such a great testimony AND I know my clients personally, which means they expect the same type of quality service I give them in the salon! Meaning- these places should not disappoint! ;)
I am not working with any of the following businesses (other than Blonde Faith of course) and these recommendations are 100% just recommendations based on trusted resources or myself! I am not a blogger posting for trade or getting paid in anyway for these reviews.
** = places I have personally been
(others are top recommendations from y’all!)
All things hair:
AKA best hair extensions, best blonde highlights, best overall color, best cuts, best blow outs etc etc etc…..
BLONDE FAITH SALON
Best Nail Salon:
**CAESARS IN THE DOMAIN
This is my personal favorite place! It is upscale, affordable, clean and I’ve never left disappointed. I normally get pedicures and if I do my nails I get shellac/gel
E’shee Nails in the Arboretum
This was the top recommended nail salon. I’ve walked past it but never been in, looks nice! It’s also next to a home goods, target and michaels…what more do you need in one day?!
Bliss Nail Bar
Best Botox:
**Dana Kirk with Rejuvenate Austin
I’ve seen Dana for YEARS and her botox seems to have the most longevity and overall best results! She’s also the sweetest human. I’ve been a few different places over the years since Dana moved a little further from me, but I just love her and always find my way back to Dana! It’s worth the drive to me for longer lasting results!
The next top recommended Botox Injector was Alicia Long with Synergy I have been to Synergy but didn’t see Alicia! I’ve heard great things from several followers, coworkers, and clients. She has been highly recommended from trusted sources as well!
Best Massage:
**Oak Haven Massage
I go here frequently for massages! It not a spa, but I’ve always had great results and its a great place for affordable, routine massage services.
**Viva Day Spa
also a great place for massages, they are a little more expensive but has more of the spa atmosphere. I’ve gone to the one in the Domain!
Best Spa Day:
Top responses for sure are:
Lake Austin Spa
Miraval Austin
Ok so I’ve never been to either but definitely want to try both. After mostly everyone said these as their top answers I started really looking into it!
I have my eye on Miraval Austin right now because they have a 25% off for an entire spa day if you go Monday-Thursday! Even without a discount it is reasonably priced! See what all it includes here. I’m going to try it and let y’all know what I think.
Lake Austin Spa also has a half day away which looks pretty cool and affordable! View what their half day away includes here. I’d love to go overnight or for a full day sometime too but everyone said great things about both places!! Miraval seems like a better deal in my opinion because it’s about the same price (and way cheaper if you go during the week) for an entire day VS a half day at Lake Austin Spa. I’ll eventually try both and let you guys know which place I liked better!!
Best Lash extensions:
Pink Lady Lash
I don’t get lash extensions so I’ve personally never been but they have been highly recommended through the years and if I did get them this is for sure where I would go!
ATX Volume and Lash
Best Facial:
Lindsay at Skin Spirit
-Going here in April and I’m so excited! I’ve been following her for a while and she also gives great skin care tips on her instagram here
Mint & Thyme
Rejuvenate Austin
Skin Savvy - ok this place looks adorbs
Hydrafacial at Maui Med Spa (most affordable price in Austin)
Best Spray Tan:
Airbrush-360 Tans
Went here for all my wedding custom airbrush tans and always had great results!!
Also recommended- Organic Bronze Domain
When I don’t get Airbrush I get the Versa Spa at any tanning salon. I ONLY use the Versa because it gives natural results and you can pick your color. I usually do a “clear 4” it’s very natural looking!
Best Couples Massage:
**Spa Sway in the Domain
**Viva Day Spa
Of course either Lake Austin Spa or Miraval would be a great option too but at the higher price point.
Best Lip Injections-
Cece, @derm_nurse at Skin Spirit OMG I’m going soon and I’m PUMPED!!! Her work speaks for itself.
Alicia Long at Synergy Plastic Surgery
Top Recommendation from y’all again!!
Best Plastic Surgery
Not a ton of answers for this one but these were recommended
Synergy Plastic Surgery
Jennifer Walden
Best Teeth whitening/Veeners
Cosmetic Dentists of Austin
Best Waxing
**Soooo many recommendations for European Wax Center
Also, The Pretty Kitty Domain
Best Microblading:
I’ve been eyeing lovemybrowsby_m foreverrrr and want to go see her someday! Her work is incredible and she books out several months in advance. If she is booked she trains all of her employees I believe and she can recommend someone else!
Other Recommendations are:
Resshape Microblading Studio
Kara Sanchez
Prenatal Massage:
Honestly never had a great prenatal massage in Austin, the best one was of course the last trip we took over a year ago when I was pregnant at a spa in Charleston :( Maybe prenatal massages aren’t meant to be comfy haha. But the best results I had was when I was laying on my side VS the donut pillow. I went to all of the following places even towards the end of my pregnancy.
**Spa sway
**Milk and Honey Spa
**Oak Haven Massage
Viva Day Spa
Lake Austin Spa for Mothers to be Day Away
