    Drea did a stunning job! This was my first haircut since moving to Austin in late November, and I couldn’t be happier. I found Motive Hair through Instagram—after doing a deep dive on different salons in the area, their page really stood out to me. From the moment I walked in, I felt confident I was in good hands, and sure enough, I left feeling like a brand-new woman. Highly recommend!

    I went to Shawna after having long hair for years and wanting to do a cute little sofia ritchie style bob. i was terrified but it turned out amazing and i cannot be happier. she was incredible, sat with me in the beginning to understand what i liked/wanted and was extremely detailed oriented and made sure my hair was perfect. would recommend to anyone looking to switch up their hair and will 100% be back.

    Ugh I love Jordan. What a talented delight with a real calming type aura. A week post-cut, I love the cute lil shag and fringe she gave me. Made it super easy for my lazy ass to continue wearing hats constantly, and going to bed with wet—but nicely cut!—hair. And she didn't judge me! How refreshing when everyone else refuses to congratulate me for speaking out about how sexy hygral fatigue can be. Anyway, so happy I met Jordan. Be my friend forever! Dye my hair neon but with zero maintenance required!
