Sam is my stylist and always listens carefully and has great suggestions when I want to try something new. She is meticulous and a true artist. Gastons Salon and Spa offers the best ambiance of any hair salon Ive been to in New Braunfels or San Antonio. In fact, I changed from my SA salon due to how frazzled I felt getting services. Gastons is very clean. The salon was the only place I continued to go to during the pandemic once they were allowed to re-open. The manicures and pedicures are relaxing and a nice treat. I have had massages with Lisa which I recommend too!
Nikki is the best stylist I’ve ever had!Also their spa services are really nice
My daughter and I loves the way Brandi cuts our hair! She gives a great head massage also when washing :D....Ill always go here! Cant wait for my next appointment! :)
Great salon. They do a great job educating you about products and services. Also, sparkling clean.
Lisa gives the best Massages. Relaxing and very professional! Would highly recommend her 100%.
Cindy was very friendly and professional. She was on time for our appointment. I had come by Gastons previously and given her my long-time Vegas hair stylists notes on what she used for coloring/highlighting my hair. Cindy wrote it all down and was prepared when I came in a couple of weeks later. I am very pleased with both the coloring job as well as the haircut I received. Gastons also receives high marks from me for having a clean and comfortable hair salon. I have found my Hill Country hairdresser!
Rosalba does an awesome job. I am so excited that I found some I trust with my hair. She is my girl now!
Brandi does a great job on Brazilian blow outs! Cant go wrong when you choose Gastons :-) Thanks Brandi!!!
Great as usual! Everyone is always nice & helpful.
A wonderful salon with the nicest people. I have always had a great experience here. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone.
Sam is a great stylist and prices are very reasonable. Love Aveda products and when I traveled for the summer up north and had to get my hair done elsewhere they responded quickly to provide me with color formula. I will definitely be back when I return the area.
Great shampoo! Brandy cuts hair the way YOU ask her to. So nice!
Gastos has been my longtime go-to salon. From the welcome when I walk-in to the overall experience Gastons makes sure you are comfortable, listened to, and pampered. My stylist Cindy is always a pleasure and hears my requests as the styles change. Gastons is a hometown favorite and for good reason!
I recently had my hair styled at Gastons and was pleased with the stylist, Brandi. The shop was very clean and lots of product was on display. The reciptionist was very friendly and puts you at ease. I recommend this shop to anyone that is looking for a beauty home place. Koleta Disch
Samantha did a great job at cleaning up a previously bad haircut. I have gotten compliments since! Plus she is a nice person!
They are professional at all times Nicky knows her stuff. I listen to her recommendations for my hair. The front desk is welcoming and professional at all times. I would recommend Gastons to everyone
I think the best compliment I can offer is that, in my experiences with Gastons, they truly listen to what youre looking for vs. doing things the way they think things should be done. Its always a five star experience for me
Darlene always makes phone calls to remind me of my appointment, and she individually greets me when I enter. Samantha cuts my hair how I like it after an excellent scalp massage. She also regales me with funny stories. Gastons is serious about mask wearing and I don’t feel worried about COVID.
Samantha was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of me and made my hair look and feel brand new! It’s rare that you find someone who is so passionate about their job and that makes their client feel truly beautiful. Such a gorgeous salon with a relaxing atmosphere. Would recommend to everyone I know.
Nikki always does a great job with my hair
It was wonderful for my hair, and my soul, to finally get the much needed attention after being stuck in the house from this Covid crisis. Samantha is so talented and really knows her craft. She always makes my curly, unruly hair look and feel fantastic! I will definitely suggest Gastons to anyone looking for a new Salon.
Love this place so much. Ask for Nikki! She is amazing and always does my hair and my moms. Very amazing service!!
I love Gaston’s!! I get pedicures done there & they are always top notch!!! I’ve never gotten a bad pedicure & everyone treats me so nicely...all very friendly!! I get massages there too & I cannot say enough good about Lisa!!! I love her!!! She’s very knowledgeable & does a fantastic massage every time I see her!!! Very kind & sweet too!!! 💜👍🙋♀️
Cindy has been styling and coloring my hair for a number of years. She always does such a great job. None of them rush you thru to get to the next appointment, while you are there you are their main focus.
Clean, professional salon. Nikki does a great job with color & cut!
Brandy has my hair color just right and my hair is healthier than it has been in a very long time. She is very detailed. The entire staff is very friendly! This is a happy place :)
Nikki is absolutely amazing! She takes her time with her clients. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. I am very picky with who I will let do my hair, and I will choose to wait months to have her rather than go somewhere else. Since moving to Texas in 2017, she has been my go to girl! Part of me doesn’t want to recommend her, because it is already hard enough getting an appointment....she truly is fantastic. Thank you, Gaston’s for always impressing!
Great job Nikki! Everyone at Gastons goes out of their way to make your visit a truly fabulous experience. I appreciate their dedication to not only meeting, but exceeding each clients expectations.
This is a well run salon with excellent stylists. From the time you enter the door until you leave (looking good!) everything is totally professional and top quality.The staff members are friendly and service oriented. If something is not right (which is rare) they will fix it. Ive been a client here since 2009 and I highly recommend this salon.
The place is clean and nicely decorated. They also have nice pedicure seats. And a great selection of nail colors. I have and will continue recommending them to anybody who needs wonderful services!
Could not be happier with the haircut I got from Cindy. All the ladies are so helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing whether you are get styled or using the spa. I highly recommend.
Great atmosphere, customer service, and Samantha is a fantastic hair stylist! The hair shampoo and head massage is wonderful! They have a really nice boutique and the owner, Barbara, is so nice.
I have then looking for a new salon for a while. And I finally found in Austin one. I came in looking for a new cut very short and my stylist was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I left the salon knowing that I could make my hair look as awesome as it did leaving the salon with her wonderful help.
I absolutely love my haircut from Katie. She was attentive and took the time to listen to what I want and did an amazing job! This salon has a very welcoming and spa like feel, and I was offered a beverage right away. I really enjoyed my experience and cant wait to go back.
Everyone is so friendly. The stylists are well trained and very talented. You will love your experience at Gaston’s. Five members of my family are regular clients that should tell you that we are happy clients!
I have been having my hair done at Gastons for over 40 years. In all that time the service has been professional and friendly. Gastons is a hometown salon that has grown with the needs of the community. Lisa, the physical therapist is knowledgeable and professional. When I need a therapist thats who I turn to. All the stylists are excellent at their craft. And Barbara has continued the excellent service started by her husband so many years ago. I cant imagine going to any other salon.
Great experience!!!! My hair cut was just the way I wanted it!!!
I have been coming here for years and always receive great service. They are welcoming and make me feel very comfortable. Lacy cuts & highlights my hair and always does a fantastic job. Ive also had facials, massage, pedicure & manicure- all of which have been wonderful. I highly recommend this salon!
What a wonderful Christmas gift! I enjoyed a full spa day complete with back massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, hair treatment and style, and makeup application-- plus lunch! These girls are so sweet and excellent at their jobs. ❤️❤️
Lovely place love my hairdresser
I rate my experience at Gastons as amazing! Customer service is wonderful and the skill of all their beauticians is excellent. I enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of their quiet waiting room while my hair color is processing. I highly recommend it.
Love Gastons - have been going there for over a year. My stylist is Nikki and she does a great job on my cuts and color. They do a good job of not over-booking - Ive never had to wait past my appointment time and they always remind me ahead of time. And who doesnt LOVE Aveda products!!! Highly recommend this salon for friendly, professional service.
While growing up, I presumed I would stay beautiful until I die.Well, that ship sure saled about the time I turned 60. I realized excellent care to my hair, nails & skin could make all the difference to me in the way I felt about myself.Now, I have trusty caring, skilled experts -- the staff at Gastons Salon & Spa to advise my skin care, keep my hair and nails trim, & looking their best. I walk out Gastons doors with zest in my steps & my spirit.Jessica, thank you my stylists par excellent & my nail doing queen for your consistent service & care to me. You know Ill be back & back, & back some more.
Great customer service, friendly staff, relaxing environment. I get my hair cut every 3 months and Samantha does a great job every time! She gives me exactly what I ask for and I feel like my hair is in good hands. Definitely recommend Gastons.
The staff here are experienced and friendly. Theyll take good care of you!
Cute little salon with very friendly staff. Not too expensive.Edit:Some of the cosmetologists are not very good at waxing eyebrows. I was not happy with the service that I got. For $17 I’m expecting something great but I was really let down. The girl who did my eyebrows did not know what she was doing.I will not be returning
The stylist is great with my color, but management will not let them blow dry out hair or have hot towels???? What is the point????
Best salon AND spa hands down! Massages are to die for! The massage therapist is so wonderful and professional!! She makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable. Also the establishment is very clean and super relaxing and they will greet you with your choice of either a crystal glass cup of water infused with fuit, your choice of hot tea or coffee for free. It is a bit more pricey then other places I have been too but soooo worth it!! I absolutely recommend this place especially for massages you get about an hour for $85 you pick your own scent, the music is very very relaxing and you are in a candlelit room I said they put these warm socks on your feet so your feet wont be cold. You also get an amazing scalp massage which is my favorite!! And you also get that scalp massage when you get a haircut too! Best Ever!!!
Love Nicole for hair cuts!
My entire family gets our hair cut by Samantha and we LOVE her! My husband and I also get massages here and I get facials. We are very pleased with the salon!
I always enjoy coming to this salon, I love the trickling Waters of the fountain in the lobby, the wonderful Aveda tea and the hair stylists are awesome. They have a great selection of Aveda hair and skin products and do a great job of explaining how and what to use. Im a regular customer!
Calm cozy place to come get pampered.
Male 75 received chainsaw pedicure = 5star excellent for Fathers Day 😎
Samantha has an amazing gift to know what works for your hair and your lifestyle. Would not go anywhere else!!!
Had previously had a good experience with Gaston’s, so my husband decided to treat me to the spa day package for Valentines Day. I was so excited for the relaxing day I had ahead of me! I was getting a massage, facial, mani and pedi, makeup application and scalp massage, hair wash and style and lunch. I went in, and was off to a good start. The massage therapist is wonderful, and does a great job. Finished up, and went for my facial. The facial was okay. She did a very few extractions, and seemed a little rushed to get everything done, but it wasn’t too bad of an experience. But that’s where anything good stopped. Whoever scheduled my appointment, decided I should be put with the student. Had I known this from the beginning, I would have either asked for someone with more experience or cancelled the appointment all together. She did my nails, which were halfway painted. I didn’t get the manicure at all, I simply got a polish change. Next up, Was hair. I got a simple curl, that came out okay. That experience wasn’t too bad either. After hair, was makeup... which was a complete joke and humiliation. She used a color way too dark for my skin, and didn’t even bother blending in. She added bronzer to my cheeks, and it was a burnt orange color. She did not blend the eyeshadow. And my eyeliner was literally half an inch off my eyelash line. I looked like a clown!! On to my pedicure, she didn’t bother cutting my cuticles, cut my toenails way too short, and didn’t even paint my entire nail (same she did on my manicure). She also had painted my skin in multiple areas, and didn’t bother cleaning it up. I’m on the verge of tears at this point as we paid about $300 and my expectations were not met. I had a little trouble getting a refund after everything was over but the lady finally decided to give me $40!!! At this point, I was completely fed up and decided I would let my husband handle it from then on. He called a few days later and was able to get another $40 but we ended up paying over $200 still for an absolutely horrible experience. As a salon, they should have booked someone with a lot more experience to the lady who was spending the whole day there and made sure things went right, not the student who very clearly had no idea what she was doing. My husband and I had plans to go to dinner immediately after me leaving the salon but that could not happen since my makeup looked that awful.. I had to go home and try to get that color and product off, which was not easy, and I had to go spend another $70 elsewhere so they could fix the horrendous job that was done on my nails.
By far the best jewel in New Braunfels! The salon is fabulous and never been dissatisfied with any hair cut or salon experience. I live in San Antonio and still drive to this salon...its worth the drive!
My favorite Aveda salon in town! This is my go to place for haircuts, styles, pedicures, and THE BEST massages in town! I love Samantha for my haircuts and Lisa for massages. When I was pregnant she helped with my back so much! Ive been going to this salon for about ten years now!
Everyone was very professional and I enjoyed great conversation with all three of the women that I had an appointment with that day. And I was very happy at the end of the day.
On my first visit, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. It was nice to be in a non-gratuity salon, although Im sure I paid for it since it was pricy, but did a great job.
Love this salan, Samantha always does a great job coloring and styling my hair.
Everyone was really sweet and helpful. Crystal did an amazing job on my hair. Definitely recommend.
I got a manicure and pedicure by Lisa and I loved it!! I will definitely be back again! The atmosphere was so calming and she was intuitive to my needs.
Great relaxing experience at Gastons Salon! Nicki was very attentive and gave me one of the best haircuts I have every had!
My experience here has caused me to have negative feelings about my wedding day. My hair appointment lasted 1.5 hours, and when the appointment was over, my hair looked NOTHING like the picture I brought. I wanted a simple bun-type hair style and got something...strange. I couldnt see what was happening because of how my hair was hanging in my face while my updo was being put together. Since it took so long, there wasnt enough time to start over and actually get what I wanted because I had to get back to my venue. Despite the long time and 38 bobby pins in my hair, my hair started falling before I even put my dress on. I was so distracted by falling hair pieces and I was so heartbroken because I did not feel like the beautiful bride that I should have felt like. Since my mother paid for the appointment, she contacted them with our complaints and there was absolutely no response.If you want to feel gorgeous on your wedding day, DO NOT go here.
Very sweet, very clean and the decor is amazing
This an excellent non-gratuity salon. Wonderful staff and fantastic selection of Aveda products. Highly recommend!
Luv this place - quiet, calm and never ever rushed -always greeted by name just a wonderful environment to get away from the hectic world and Cindy Torrez is the best hairdresser for my blonde/gray hair!!!
Robin is the best! She really knows how to cut and style hair. Always gets it right. I just go in and tell her what im thinking about doing and she does it even better than i imagined. I will drive to New Braunfels to see her no matter where i move to.
Gaston’s and staff are amazing. Since moving from New Braunfels several years ago I have not been able to find an Avaida Salon that even comes close to Gaston’s. Any time I go back to New Braunfels I book an appointment. The service, friendly staff and shampoos are incredible. Give them a try!!!
Gastons Salon and Spa is my go-to salon for highlights and haircuts (with Cindy) and full body massage (with Lisa). This has been true since we moved permanently to New Braunfels almost twelve years ago. There are two things I like most about Gastons--the atmosphere of cordiality and the sense of a team working together (no big egos) and the no-tipping policy.
Always great Customer Service. Caring and professional.
So happy that I tried out Gastons Salon & Spa...service is excellent from the time I walk in the door, services rendered and checkout! Definitely recommend Gastons to newcomers to the area who are looking for a top notch spa!
Great job. Staff very helpful & friendly. Ill be back.
I always receive excellent service from Gastons Salon & Spa. Their extensive collection of Aveda products provides something for everyone.
I was very skeptical booking my appointment here due to other experiences with customer service and judgment in New Braunfels. Im SO thankful that I decided to give Gastons a try. The customer service is excellent from everyone, its clean and the product set up is organized. Christina has given me the best pedicures, always making sure i am happy and comfortable. I do think the pedicure area can use some cosmetic updates but other than that I love Gastons and will continue enjoying this spa.
I have been going to Gastons for over 4 years now, and highly recommend this salon for all your hair care needs. From color to cut, and even massage was a great experience. The owner is very cordial and treats me wonderful, even when I walk in looking like a mess. I walk out feeling like a million bucks. They never fail to notify me a few days before my appt. And Always offer me a drink. Very prompt and no waiting around. Just tell them that Joanie W. recommended you to give them a try. You will not regret your experience. Your only job is to show up on time and RELAX. Enjoy your Day at Gastons Salon and Spa.,
I am always very pleased with Gastons Salon and Spa. They are professional and knowledgable and take a genuine interest in each customer and are very friendly and caring. I also really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere...very relaxing.
I was looking for a nice salon for pendiqure. I came across this one. I give only 2 stars and that because the atmosphere, the clean place and the ladys in the register, so sweet ladies. The young lady who did my pedicure needs more experience. My 6 years old kid would do a better job. My nails was all over painted and around the skin, never clip them(even when I asked for), never remove the quticals and they were over painted. Few days after I remove the color my nails were yellow, probably from too much color and stuff she put on. I wanted to go back if the result was professional but unfortunately it wasnt. Too but for Aveda name brand. The other lady was doing a very good job to the costumers next to me. I was looking at her all the time and was wondering why mine was unexperienced. Never go back to that lady even if she was sweet, the result is the job well done which wasnt the case here.
Very good stylist that are loyal. No tipping which is different but works as the staff love working there and are well.
First class service, great haircut.
Nice place! I love my Dear professional Cindy.
Cannot beat the quality and service. I drive an hour each way to go here, and its worth the effort
I get great service here. Lacey is great !
Great Aveda salon, I have been back again and again.
Wonderful full spa day experience! I was so relaxed I forgot to freak out about turning 40!
Fantastic hair by Katie, everyone is always inviting and attentive!
Great hair cut. By Samantha. Friendly staff.
Best highlights and lowlights ever - thanks Robin!!
I had my hair cut there today. I have not been to Gaston’s in years, but I am happy to say I will be going there again.
My wife visits it regularly and is satisfied
Amazing stress buster massage with Lisa
Awesome service and wonderful people!
Always a pleasure!!!!
Lacy is awesome!
Awesome!!
