Your A-List: Best Beauty Salon
Retro ruled in the Your A-List competition for Best Beauty Salon. Birds Barbershop on South Lamar Boulevard, which combs a little rock vibe and winking irony into respect for hairstyles past with its Joel Mozersky design, ranked No. 1 with 30 percent of the vote.
Visible Changes, a write-in candidate with two locations, zoomed up to No. 2 with 20 percent, virtually tying No. 3, veteran Avant, also a day spa for two decades. (Gotta try that day spa thing someday.)
Jackson Ruiz, which pioneered contemporary hair for diverse customers, was No. 4 (9 percent). Bunched at below 3 percent of the vote were Salon 505, Ann Kelso, Aziz, Bradz, Joie de Vie, Vain, Electra, Pink, Wet, Maximum FX, Shag and Mint.
And just to prove that Central Texans spread their hair love around, all these shops won write-in votes: Bella Salon and Day Spa, Bob Salon, Cates & Co., Cutting Room, Grateful Head (which I stupidly assumed was a head shop), Innu, James Allen Salon, Jose Luis Salon, Keith Kristofer, La Fuentes, Lake Austin Spa, Lush, Salon Uffizi, Shag, Sirens, Spa at the Lake, Super Star Nails, Thomas Saverio Salon, Urban Betty, Vickmay Skin and Body Salon.
