Austin’s Favorite Aveda Salon.
One salon, two locations, one team. Nobody works alone here, so the stylist in your chair can pull in a colorist or an educator without you ever getting up.
What makes us different
Three things we decided early, and they are why people stay for years.
The training never stops
Some of our stylists came up through our in salon apprenticeship. Others arrived with years behind the chair. Either way the education keeps going, so you are always working with a trained professional.
Aveda, and nothing else
Every color we mix comes from Aveda’s plant and flower based line. It is the only line we carry and the only one we train on. We are a Green Circle Salon, so what is left over gets recycled rather than washed down the drain.
One company, one goal
We are one salon, not a collection of stylists running separate businesses under one roof. There is no competition inside our four walls, and you can feel that the moment you walk in.

I have been going to Maximum FX for 6 years. I have moved away from Austin, but still drive into town for my hair. That is how amazing this salon is.
I moved to Austin from NY a couple of years ago and it has taken time, and a couple of botched haircuts, to find someone I completely trust my tresses with. Alicia listens, offers solutions, and follows through.
The stylists are talented and really listen to what you want rather than just doing their own thing, which makes such a difference in the final result.

A gift for someone who has been putting themselves last.

We partnered with Aveda because of a standard their founder never stopped repeating.
“Don’t put anything on your skin that you wouldn’t put in your mouth.”Horst Rechelbacher, founder of Aveda
He was known to prove it by drinking the hair spray in front of a room. That is the bar for everything we reach for at the station, from plant based color to whatever your stylist hands you on the way out.
We hold that line for two people. The guest who sits in the chair for a couple of hours, and the stylist who stands beside it all week breathing whatever we choose to open.
