Reviews of Garbo
The Garbo staff and owner are without a doubt ... The Very Best. Always friendly and ready to help with anything you need. Specials are awesome and frequent which is great on the budget


I've been going to Garbo for at least five years...maybe more. I love everything about this salon. Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel instantly at home. I've had everything from haircuts/highlights to facials, brow waxing and pedicures here. And this is the only place I go to get my Aveda products. I have been an Aveda junkie for 23 years. I keep trying other products and my hair just says NO!! If you love Aveda, go to Garbo and definitely join the Pure Privilege program. Totally worth it!!

The folks at Garbo make me feel like extended family and you just can't get better than that!



You gotta love an Aveda salon with decent prices and exceptionally talented staff! I went for a haircut with Beni who gave me exactly what I asked for plus a lot of extra goodness (most amazing aromatherapy scalp massage ever).

I had the opportunity to meet Marsha the salon owner during my appointment and from meeting her, it is clear to see why Garbo Salon is such a happy place. No bad energy in this place with Marsha in charge! I highly recommend this hidden gem on the NW side of town and Beni is now my go-to girl for all things hair related!



Vanessa has been cutting my hair since her days at the Paul Mitchell school. She's still my hair stylist at the Garbo Salon. Whether it's a hair cut or hair color, you'll definitely be satisfied with her attention to detail. You'll also enjoy her scalp and neck massage. You'll love the atmosphere at Garbo. The rest of the staff is very friendly and professional.

Pros: attention to detail and a great cut every time


Rosalba is the most talented hairstylist I've ever come across. I've had a ton of very different hair styles and she has kept up with each of them. The back of my neck has crazy things going on and she somehow manages to get it all under control. Every single person I come across always mentions how awesome my hair looks. I'm definitely a client for life.



I just wanted to let Marsha know how much I love Liz Miller.  I am so happy I "found" her.Every time I go in there, she has a wonderful smile.  She does a thorough hair cut,  is great with color and ALWAYS has something new to teach me!  She always makes suggestions on how to take care of my hair and what products I should use.  Just wish they were a little more affordable!! A big plus, I love her shampoo / massage.  Wonderful.  So happy. I would appreciate it if you would let Liz know I would be happy to recommend to any of my friends or family.  Thank you.


I love Garbo! Austin friendly but with great consistent customer service! Judy is best stylist Ive ever had - perfect cut color and style. Amazing to be the best at all three! i see men and women regularly going there. Always feels like home - a fantastic spa home. Highest recommendation from me.


I was captured by Garbo over 12 years ago with a friendly, warm, and genuine connected atmosphere. When I moved from Southern California, I was use to the latest and greatest up to date hair styles and services so my expectations were high. Before arriving at Garbo I had already tried 6 other hair salons. I have to say between the great, friendly Garbo team, and up to date hair styles and products, my experience at Garbo and the entire staff has truly been refreshing. "Thumbs Up" for the owner (Marsha Power) for taking so many initiatives to help the community and those in need. Last but not least, it is a joy watching customers walk out happy including myself... I have to say Garbo is definitely a keeper for life!


Outstanding!: Great Salon! Very friendly and very skilled technicians. You can really relax and enjoy being pampered. Come out looking your best!


I love this salon and have been going there for years. Unlike other hurried and curt personnel, everyone there loves Marsha (the owner) and Elsie's (shampoos). They are sensitive to your health and use natural Aveda products. The massage therapist is so wonderful also.
Now I have to drive from out of town but they are worth it! Bravo GARBO!

Beni is not only a hairstylist but also a massage therapist and she is absolutely incredible at both. Her energy instantly calms you and relaxes every part of you. She offered me a chair massage while my color was processing. I thought it would be strange but it was the most relaxing and beneficial way to spend my 30 minutes processing time. I left Garbo feeling absolutely beautiful and relaxed all thanks to Beni.


I love this place!!! I go here for EVERYTHING....facials, waxing, nails, massage, and hair. The atmosphere is amazing and you will always be treated with a smile.


I think that I had some good karma running around or something on this one!  I happened to get a free cut at this salon by the lovely Beni so that she could teach a class to other stylists in the salon.

First, I have wild curly hair and for any of you ladies who have wild curly hair you know what I am talking about when I say that typically I wait longer than I should for a cut because I am so afraid to get it done.  That goes double for those folks (like me) who have not found a regular stylist.

I arrived a bit early to the salon, and even though I was there for a free cut no courtesy was spared.  Coffee (mmmm.....they put a little cinnamon in it, and it is delish!).  Neck and head massage.....oh hell yeah, plus I got it a little longer since we had to wait for some folks to show up....it was even better because Beni is a massage therapist, so she knows how to do that whole thing right.

Cut.... FABULOUS!!  Honestly, I was so lucky to have gotten chosen to do this etc.  However, I think that it is going to be tough for me to go to anyone else now that Beni cut my hair as well as she did.....  I love it.  Perfect length, great volume, easy to take care of (ie. no dryer or dryer it looks great)......

Save yourself the anguish and just head to Beni at Garbo A for a cut that is worth its weight in gold!!!


I've been going to Garbo for years, and I love it! Rosalba is a color genius!! I have never had a bad experience at Garbo, and I've probably been there about 100 times. All the ladies (and Milton) are fantastic. Everyone I have sent to Garbo has loved it as well. High quality services and products, but very friendly and unpretentious.



Garbo A Salon and Spa has exceeded my standards for the past year. I've always gone to Aveda salons in Austin, but tried Garbo after receiving a flier. When I first arrived I immediately felt welcome...great energy, wonderful customer service from everyone (front desk, stylist, shampoo). I was told about the other services that the salon/spa offered without feeling overwhelmed or like I was being sold something. The place is just wonderful. I would recommend going in for a "Queen for a Day." You will receive the works...scalp treatment/massage, haircut with a senior stylist, facial, manicure/pedicure (they serve you lunch too)!! You can trade the facial for a massage if you want. Another great thing is that they are open 7 days a week!! What Aveda salon/spa is open 7 days a week?? GARBO!!!



I've always had great experiences at Garbo. I've gone to Beni several times for my hair and she always listens and gives great suggestions too! The rest of the staff is really friendly and professional and overall it has a great atmosphere.
