What an absolutely positive experience I had during my first, but definitely not my last, trip to Austral Salon. My stylist, Madison, went above and beyond to give me exactly what I was striving to achieve. I gave her a somewhat vague idea of what I wanted and she delivered more than I’d hoped. I’m so grateful as it was a major change and I was unsure of what to expect. I’ll definitely be visiting this salon again.
