I’m not very good about getting my hair cut. Seriously, I’ll go months without even a trim.  It’s an awful habit, and one I’m trying to break.  But I’ve had bad luck with stylists in Austin. I found one I liked well enough, and she even worked at a salon near my house, but she moved away only a year after I started to visiting her. So then I bounced around a little, trying a few other stylists at the same salon, as well as some different salons in the neighborhood. None were worth recommending. None were totally terrible, but if I’m going to pay good money for a haircut, I would like for it to be a great haircut.

So today, I asked my friendly and ever-so-helpful Twitter friends for advice. I got tons of excellent recommendations and, after some prompting from a friend, thought I would share these recommendations with you.

• Studio Tilee
• Platypus
• Orbit
• The Cutting Room
• Ulta
• Hairy Situations
• Zig Zag

Alas, no one recommended Sexy Scissors.

I made an appointment next week at Orbit, so I’ll let you know how it goes!  And if you have any recommendations or experience with these (or other) salons, leave them in the comments.  I’m sure there are others we can add to this list.
