Whether you’re visiting us for the first time or maintaining a look you already love, you’ll find answers to our most frequently asked questions below.

Note: Both Spoleti Salon locations are card-only for service and product payments.

Haircut Pricing & What to Expect

Haircut Costs, Stylist Levels & Value

  • In the Austin metro area, professional women’s haircuts typically range from $65 to $120+. At Spoleti Salon, our haircut prices vary depending on the complexity of the style and your stylist’s experience level, offering options from our rising associate stylists to our master-level professionals at both locations.

  • Spoleti Salon offers haircut options under $100 with select associate and commission stylists. We also have experienced senior stylists whose services may be priced over $100. This allows you to choose a stylist whose experience, specialties, and pricing fit your needs. Either way, you get an upscale experience at a competitive price.

  • Salon prices in Central Texas vary widely depending on the service. Haircuts typically range from $65 to $120+, while dimensional color services may range from $150 to $450+. At Spoleti Salon, pricing varies by stylist and the time, technique, and product needed to achieve your desired result.

  • Haircut costs fluctuate significantly across different Austin neighborhoods. Downtown Austin salons carry hefty city premiums due to high overhead. By visiting Spoleti Salon at our South Austin location (off S. Congress) or our Pflugerville location (off W. Pecan St.), you get high-end city quality without paying inflated downtown markups.

  • Instead of looking strictly at price, evaluate the value. Higher-end salons invest heavily in ongoing stylist education and premium, non-damaging products. At Spoleti Salon, we strike the perfect balance—offering luxury results using plant-derived Davines products at reasonable, tiered rates to fit different client budgets.

  • The best value comes from a salon that offers customized care and modern techniques without hidden fees. Spoleti Salon is highly regarded by Austin and Pflugerville locals for delivering beautiful, healthy hair, clear pricing, and long-lasting cuts that grow out seamlessly.

  • Spoleti Salon’s Pflugerville location offers customized haircuts and professional hair extension services. Services and specialties vary by stylist, so we recommend viewing our stylist profiles or scheduling a consultation before booking.

Professional Hair Coloring & Highlights

Hair Color Pricing, Services & Techniques

  • At our South Austin and Pflugerville locations, we provide an array of specialized hair services. We excel in expert blonding, balayage, highlights, precision haircuts, curly haircuts, hair extensions, custom hair color, and deep conditioning treatments tailored to your lifestyle.

  • Professional hair color in Central Texas can range from $100 for a root touch-up to over $350 for complex, multi-tonal dimensional color. At our salons, your total investment depends on your current hair length, density, and the amount of product required to safely achieve your target shade.

  • A bundled full head of custom color combined with a precision haircut generally ranges between $220 and $380+ in the Austin area. Booking multi-service packages with our team ensures your cut and color are designed to perfectly complement one another.

  • Blonding services in Central Texas typically range from $200 to $450+, depending on your starting color, desired level of brightness, hair length and density, and the amount of time required. Because lightening hair safely takes time and specialized training, some blonde transformations may require multiple appointments.

  • A full head of traditional highlights usually starts around $250 to $350+ depending on the salon. At Spoleti Salon, we customize our highlight and foil placements to your hair's natural fall, ensuring high-impact brightness that suits your lifestyle.

  • Balayage is a freehand, artistic painting technique that produces soft, sun-kissed dimension with a soft, blended root line, making it perfect for the busy Austin lifestyle due to its lower-maintenance grow-out. Highlights use structured foils to create a more defined, uniform brightness right from the scalp.

  • The best color results come from salons using premium, integrity-first color lines. Spoleti Salon is a premier destination for hair color in Central Texas because we proudly utilize high-performance, plant-based Davines color along with K18 and B3 Brazilian Bond Builder to protect your hair’s health and shine.

  • Hair color demands advanced chemical training, custom color formulation, prolonged active application time, and premium product materials. While a haircut relies solely on a stylist's physical technique, hair color is an intensive, multi-step chemical transformation tailored to your specific hair history.

Curly Haircuts & Hair Extensions

Methods, Maintenance & Finding Your Stylist

  • Spoleti Salon is a go-to destination for the Austin, Pflugerville, and Round Rock curly hair communities. Our stylists treat curls with a customized approach, focusing on deep hydration, tension-free shaping, and understanding how different curl types expand and bounce when dry.

  • Yes! Both of our teams have stylists who are trained in advanced curly haircutting techniques for all texture patterns, from subtle 2A waves to dense 4C coils. Whether you are looking for a short curly bob, a textured shag, or long bouncy layers, we customize the cut to elevate your natural curl pattern.

  • We specialize in luxury tape-in extensions, keratin tips (K-tips), and seamless weft extensions. We cater to clients looking for length and volume transformations across Austin, Pflugerville, and the surrounding regions.

    • Tape-ins: 6–8 weeks before requiring a reinstall.

    • Keratin tips: 3–4 months of beautiful wear.

    • Weft extensions: 6–8 weeks for move-up maintenance. Adhering to proper home care routines keeps your extensions looking flawless and your natural hair perfectly healthy.

Choosing a Hair Salon You Can Trust

What to Look for in a Salon and Stylist

  • A great hairdresser spends significant time asking about your daily styling habits, analyzing your hair's natural health, and listening closely to your goals. They will explain what is realistically achievable before ever touching your hair with water or tools.

  • Trust is built through transparent communication. Look for an open-minded stylist who welcomes inspiration photos, values the long-term health of your hair, and walks you through their intended technique during the consultation.

  • Professional stylists display precision in their work, maintain a clean workspace, listen actively without rushing, use high-end professional products, and continuously invest in their craft through ongoing education.

  • A superior experience begins the moment you enter. It relies on a warm, relaxed environment, transparent pricing conversations, clear communication, a comfortable shampoo experience, and walking out with hair you truly love.

  • Look for a salon that offers clear upfront pricing, showcases clear photos of real client results, prioritizes continuous education, and respects your schedule with a structured booking system.

Appointments, Salon Policies & Hair Maintenance

Booking, Preparing for Your Visit & Aftercare

  • We highly encourage booking an appointment in advance to secure your preferred date and time, particularly for lengthy color transformations or extension services. However, we love welcoming walk-ins and same-day bookers whenever our schedule allows!

  • Booking with us is quick and simple! You can schedule online anytime via our website, or call our individual locations during business hours:

  • Expect a welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere from the start. Your visit features an in-depth, one-on-one consultation, custom pampering using luxury plant-derived products, and personalized education on keeping your look intact at home.

  • When trying a new salon, feel free to ask: “Do you specialize in my specific hair texture?”, “What product lines do you carry?”, and “Can we do a standalone consultation first?” Our team is always happy to answer these ahead of time.

  • We love it when you bring inspiration photos! Come with your hair styled how you normally wear it day-to-day. This helps our stylists understand your natural texture, personal style, and daily maintenance routine.

  • The standard tipping rate across Central Texas hair salons is 18% to 22% of the total service cost, reflecting appreciation for your stylist’s time, focus, and custom work.

  • To prevent split ends and maintain an intentional shape, we suggest booking a trim every 6 to 10 weeks. If you rock a short pixie or precision fringe, you may want to visit us every 4 to 6 weeks to keep it crisp.

  • To protect your investment against hard Texas water and humidity, use Davine’s color-conserving, sulfate-free home care lines. Most blonding clients schedule a quick toner or gloss refresh every 8 to 12 weeks to eliminate brassy undertones.

  • Mid-week appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays are perfect if you prefer a quieter, more relaxed salon atmosphere. If you need a prime weekend slot, we suggest booking 2 to 3 weeks in advance.

  • Yes! We are always looking to expand our family. We have career openings for commission hair stylists and independent booth renters, across both locations. We also run an incredible associate stylist training program designed to help recent cosmetology graduates transition smoothly into a thriving salon career in the Austin area.
