Best Hair Salons near me in East MLK, Austin

Master Cam is wonderful! I’ve tried various places for haircuts/style in Austin and he has been the best. He is truly talented at what he does and you can clearly see enjoys his job. Everyone who works with him is extremely professional and kind as well. He takes his time to cut hair and go through each step with you and why he is doing something. My hair has never looked healthier or better since I started going to Cam. 10/10. Have recommended him to anyone who asks for hair care (color or cut).

Cam is truly a master of his craft. He took the time to explain the pros and cons of my different color and style options and helped decide what would be the best treatment for me ( ie lasting results and minimal damage). I finally found a stylist in Austin who can skillfully cut and color my dark, fine Asian hair to give me volume and dimension. I’m extremely happy with his service and will be returning.

It was my first time not only going to Smooshine, but an Austin hair salon since moving. It was an amazing experience. The environment was beautiful due to the music, the location, and the aesthetic. I booked my hair appointment with Sam, and it went wonderfully. Not only did he deliver the haircut that I wanted, but he helped me understand why my hair was damaged and how to fix it. He offered a solution in the salon and an at home solution. He was very precise with my haircut, and made it a wonderful experience. This is the best haircut I have gotten!

Needed a haircut badly a few months ago when dropping my daughter off in Austin. Tried Mark and let me sat I made sure to get in to see him again a few months later as I am picking by girl up. Trying to talk him into moving to Nashville!

This was honestly one of the best experiences I have had at a salon! I have been to other salons in Austin but never felt very comfortable or like the stylists particularly cared about my hair. I had a totally opposite experience here and I will definitely be coming back to Smooshine. Jacob was awesome! He was very attentive and thorough and it was just a super high quality haircut and experience. I appreciate the time he took to understand my hair goals, and to explain his methods and why he did them. I will definitely be recommending Smooshine and Jacob to friends.

We are lucky to have this studio here in Austin. Cam's expertise is world-class. He brings a level of artistry and excellence to Hyde Park that you would expect to find in SoHo, NYC. I'm hooked!

I can always trust Mark with my hair. He recently fixed a bad haircut from another stylist. Let’s just say he gave it more life! Thanks Mark

Finally…finally! My son actually likes his haircut! 🎉 Not only that, he’s officially chosen his hair stylist and now only wants to see Jacob. Jacob really took the time to understand my son’s hair and exactly what he wanted. He was also incredibly patient, even with a little kid wiggle during the appointment. The result was fantastic, and my son left feeling confident and happy with his hair. We’re so glad we found someone who truly gets it. Thank you, Jacob! 🙌🏼✂️

Excellent experience from start to finish. Cam is highly skilled and clearly knowledgeable in his craft, delivering one of the best haircuts I’ve had. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the entire team was professional and friendly. My daughter also received a haircut from Sam, who is very skilled and knows what he is doin, he did an outstanding job, and my daughter is extremely happy with the result. I highly recommend this salon.

Sam is a really great stylist! I got the best haircut in my life so far!

I recently visited Smooshine Hair Salon and had an amazing experience! Sam Elamaireh was my stylist, and I can’t recommend him enough! Sam was very funny and knew exactly what he was doing. I’m so so pleased with my hair and with the service. I cannot thank him enough—my hair is the best it’s ever been!

I had Master Cam and he was great and super understanding! It was my first time bleaching, so he went through the process with me on bleaching, haircut, and color and made sure I understood everything. He explained everything so well it made me feel confident in my decisions and feel like my hair was in good hands.

really good stylist and haircut

Aug 8, 2023

Excellent precision, attention to detail, and framing of the haircut. My only complaint was the session scheduled for 7 - 8 and it was delayed 20 minutes. But the quality of the cut is fantastic quality.

Sam was great! Awesome haircut and good conversation

Always enjoy getting my haircut with Mark! He knows exactly what I want even when I’m not sure. I always walk out of the salon so happy with the outcome. Plus we always have great conversations :)

Master Cam did my hair today and I honestly couldn’t be happier!! The cut, the color, the time he spent, and the knowledge he shared throughout the process were absolutely amazing. He’s smart, precise, and truly knows his craft. I felt taken care of from start to finish. Customer for life, I’ll definitely be recommending and returning as soon as I can. Jason is also incredible at everything he does. Such a great experience all around. Thank you guys!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark completely transformed my look! I came in for just a haircut and style, but he went above and beyond. He took the time to understand what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and the end result was better than I imagined. My hair has never looked this fresh, modern, and full of life. I left feeling confident and brand new. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows what they’re doing and has an eye for style—Mark is the one!

Mark is a lovable guy, and he is always going to be my number one person to go to for haircuts, with style ~

Wonderful experience!!! The color and cut turned out absolutely beautiful! Mark had a vision for a rich dynamic color, and also listened to my desire to make it look natural. Will definitely be rebooking!

Mark did a fabulous job with cut and color. He is very talented and his suggestions as to what cut and color are good for you. It’s always a nervous time when you see a stylist for the first time. I am very impressed and pleased with the results. Thank you Mark!

Mark is not simply a hair stylist. He has expertly mastered the art of color blending and face framing. I have been a loyal client for over a year, and he always manages to do something better than the last. There is no one else I would trust with my hair other than Mark. I have seen countless clients flying to get into his chair from all over the world. He’s also worked in salons in London and Dubai, which has added to his experience. Just trust the process and Mark’s expertise. If he takes you on as a client, you are one of the luckiest people who get to experience his talent firsthand.

Fantastic stylist—knowledgeable and provides excellent customer service. After months of searching for a professional to cut my husband's hair, we finally found one! And to my surprise, he specializes in curly hair—so I’ll be booking my next appointment for myself with him. We highly recommend him!

Mark is unmatched. If I ever lose him as my stylist I will grieve it. His class, charisma, and style is amazing and I’ve never experienced this level of service before. Coming to see Mark is a joy in my life. Before starting to work with him I felt like my style was directionless, now it feels bold, professional, and like I can make a statement about myself. Mark is amazing and no words come close to describing.

Feb 6, 2026

Great experience! Really knows his stuff and did a wonderful job. I haven’t been this happy with a haircut in a while. Definitely worth going to Mark for a haircut you won’t be disappointed.

Jan 3, 2026

Great haircut! I appreciate the attention to detail and time Mark spent to get it right.

Dec 16, 2025

Always a great cut & color! Mark is a true professional and kind human.
