La Vie Med Spas & Salon

This review is long overdue, but I feel compelled to share my awful experience with this salon’s service. I went in for a root touch-up and a haircut with Joe. I specifically asked him to ensure the color wasn’t too dark, as the rest of my hair was lighter due to sun exposure and previous coloring. Unfortunately, the result was completely off—my roots were brownish-black (see the photo). When I said to Joe it was almost black, he assured me the color would lighten after a few washes. Any experienced colorist knows that permanent color does not lighten with washing. To make matters worse, my ears and forehead were covered in dye, which Joe neither prevented nor cleaned up. I regret not taking a photo because I have never had this issue at any salon before, not even when I color my own hair at home. The haircut was just as disappointing. Instead of the layered look I requested, my hair was unevenly chopped (as shown in the second photo, taken at another salon a month later). I went to my stylist in LA a month later, who spent four hours coloring my hair in 3 stages to fix it. And she showed me how my haircut was uneven and choppy (see photo). This was a very expensive visit with money and damage done to my hair.

Probably the best med spa experience I have had in Austin so far. The girls are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, and not pushy. My injector Vickmay definitely knows her craft. Needless to say I will be coming back!

I have been here many times, and the owner, a French speaking lady is the one who does the work on me. I adore her! The way she greets me and performs the services I request. I came through Groupon years ago. This has been my favorite place in Austin and surroundings! I usually go for deals but this place has always been a great experience so it’s better to do the work with this lady as she understands my taste and my limited budget. I like natural looking results. Instead of paying through Groupon, I pay cash. 💰 Everyone is happy! 😊

Vickmay is a rockstar, I’ve been seeing her for over 2 years and am never disappointed. She is skilled at her craft, with every treatment the results are spot on. Bonus: If you like a cold glass of champagne, this is your spot, trust me you won’t be disappointed when you visit La Vie Med Spas & Salon! You’re welcome!

I had a hard time finding the place, she was very sweet and understanding of my tardiness and helped me find the place. Afterwards, we sat down together and we discussed everything I wanted to improve and we came up with a plan. She was very sweet, kind and knowledgeable about what she is doing.
