Really nice salon with great customer service, kind staff, and beautifully designed! Eliana did a wonderful job on my hair and was very attentive and friendly. Free parking is available behind the salon which is also a plus. Felt very pampered, looking forward to coming in again!

You have a lovely kind staff who always makes the visit so enjoyable. Your salon is always so beautiful, very clean and well kept. Javier who has been doing my hair for over 13 years now continues to always be on point with exactly how I like my haircut. I always leave my appointment feeling like a beautiful new woman! You know a place is pretty amazing if you're still going to it after 13 years.

I think that says something. I also get my hair colored by an amazing colorist Christian who also does fantastic work. Maximum does a great job of finding quality talent staff who appreciates their job and customers.

I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone but Sabrina in the Austin area. She is a master with my curls, and she helped strengthen my hair to the point that bald spots I've had for years simply disappeared. I'm moving out of state and will miss our conversations and her mad skills!

I came to maximum fx salon for a hair cut while in Austin on vacation. My hair was soooo long that it was getting in the way of me enjoying the trip actually- so my boyfriend made an appointment here to get it cut. Everyone I interacted with was highly professional and polite, from the front desk assistant Catherine, to my stylist Sabrina. I was so embarrassed about my hair looking like a rat's nest, but Sabrina made me feel right at home, not judging me but instead offering me solutions and assuring me that she'd have me looking beautiful in no time.

I was really grateful for their expertise, kindness, and teamwork (since it took two stylists to brush out my hair at one point!). I only wish there were locations of this salon in my state because if so I'd go back in a heartbeat! And, next time I'm in Austin I'm absolutely going back here for a cut. I highly recommend you checking them out!
