FAQ
General Salon & Booking Questions
Where is your salon located in Austin, Texas?
Apotheca is proudly located in the heart of Austin, Texas snuggled right between Hyde Park, Allendale, Rosedale, Crestview, Brentwood, Wooten and Muller in the Highland Neighborhood.. Our salon provides a relaxing, luxurious environment where you can escape the Texas heat and treat yourself to a premium hair care experience.
How do I book my next haircut or color appointment?
Booking your next visit is simple! You can schedule your haircut styling, or color service directly through our website's online booking portal, or by giving our salon a call. We recommend booking a few weeks in advance to secure your preferred stylist and time slot.
Haircuts & Styling Expertise
What types of haircuts do your stylists specialize in?
Our talented Austin stylists are trained in a wide variety of techniques to suit every hair type and texture. Whether you are looking for a precision bob, long flowing layers, a trendy shag, or a classic men's haircut, we tailor every snip to complement your face shape and lifestyle.
How often should I get a haircut to keep my hair healthy?
For most **hair** types, we recommend scheduling a haircut or trim every 6 to 12 weeks. Regular trims prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft, keeping your style looking fresh and your hair feeling incredibly healthy. If you are maintaining a very short style, a 4-week schedule might be ideal.
Expert Hair Color Services
What hair color techniques does your salon offer?
Apotheca is a premier destination for Aveda hair color in Austin. We offer everything from root touch-ups and all-over color to advanced techniques like balayage, foil highlights, baby-lights, and vivid custom colors. During your consultation, we will discuss your hair goals to formulate the perfect shade for you.
Will coloring damage my hair?
Maintaining the integrity of your hair is our top priority. Our salon uses high-quality, vegan nourishing Aveda color and protective treatments that eliminate damage. We also provide customized Aveda at-home care recommendations to ensure your hair remains vibrant, soft, and healthy long after you leave our chair.
How should I prepare my hair before a color appointment?
To get the best results from your color service, we recommend arriving with dry, relatively clean hair (day-old hair is perfectly fine!). Avoid using heavy styling products or dry shampoos right before your appointment, as build-up can sometimes interfere with how the color processes.
Ethically Sourced Hair Extensions
Do you offer hair extensions at your salon?
Yes! We proudly offer Vomor extensions to add beautiful length and volume to your natural hair. We chose Vomor because their extensions are 100% ethically sourced, ensuring the highest quality and integrity.
What types of extensions do you use?
We specialize in both hand-tied and tape-in Vomor extensions. Whether you are looking to enhance your current haircut with a little extra fullness or want to seamlessly blend a new color dimension without chemicals, our Austin stylists will customize the perfect extension method for your unique hair type and lifestyle.
Environmental Responsibility & Aveda Partnership
What kind of hair products do you use?
Apotheca is a proud Aveda Concept Salon. We exclusively carry and use Aveda’s 100% vegan hair care and color lines. We deeply share Aveda’s brand love for the environment, which is why we are thrilled to offer products that are packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled materials and manufactured using 100% wind and solar energy.
Is your salon eco-friendly?
Absolutely. In fact, we are a net-zero carbon impact salon! Through our dedicated partnership with Green Circle, we recycle and repurpose up to 95% of our beauty waste. This means that everything from your hair clippings after a haircut to leftover color and foils are diverted from landfills. When you visit us, you are actively supporting a healthier planet.
Inclusivity & Genderless Services
How does your haircut pricing work?
As a queer-owned salon, inclusivity is woven into the fabric of who we are. We proudly offer genderless services. This means our haircut, styling, and color pricing is based entirely on the length of your hair, the complexity of the service, and the time required—never on your gender identity.
Is your salon a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community?
Yes, without question. Apotheca was built to be a welcoming, affirming safe place for our transgender friends and the entire LGBTQ+ community here in Austin. We believe everyone deserves to feel celebrated, comfortable, and completely authentic when they sit in our salon chair.
