  Review:

  I just had the Brazilian Blowout with Felice, and I highly recommend her. She put up with my neurotic craziness with good humor, and reassured me that I would get the results I wanted, which I did. I wanted to keep my curls, and now I have bigger, shinier curls. She is very sweet and easy to talk to. She is one of the few stylists in Austin certified to do the Brazilian Blowout.

  Review:

  I just received one of the best haircuts of my life by a man who knows his way around curls. I had very long hair when I went in and a pretty good idea of how I wanted it to look coming out. I brought in a photo, gave a description of what I wanted (short with layers below eye level) and he not only listened to me but gave me good advice on how to make the cut work for my face and curl level. Ethan does a mixture of wet and dry cutting, meaning he is not satisfied until each curl is perfect. Ethan charges $70 but it was so worth it. As he washed and dried my hair he walked me through the steps of properly taking care of and styling my curls. He used Deva Curl shampoo (No-poo) and conditioner on my hair and only used one product in it called Re-Coil. He was very nice and I can't recommend him enough. I love my new haircut!

  Ethan gave me my first edgy haircut. I love it. It gave my limp, wavy hair volume and life.

  I rarely get my hair cut. But when it was time, I knew exactly who I wanted to see. Ethan is a genius. He does a mix of wet and dry cutting, and spends lots of time shaping your hair perfectly. Plus, he's just as pleasant as can be.

  I have curly 3B hair that is super thick, so I have kept it long for the past 20 years! I decided to cut it off, but was terrified that I would end up with triangle hair. I had no idea where to go and Ethan was recommended. He is awesome!!! He cut my hair wet and dry and my hair looks FANTASTIC! I have received rave reviews from everyone that I know and they all want Ethan's number. I would recommend him to anyone with curls!!!!

  Wow! I went to Ethan after reading the reviews and yes, even waited the month until our schedules matched. He was everything that the other reviewers said. A great listener. A great teacher. He really took the time and encouraged me to work with what my hair wanted and how my hair behaved as opposed to the experiences I've had in the past where they want to flat iron or blow my curls out! Loved this amazing experience and can't wait to tell all my curly headed sisters!

  Review:

  I am a curly who doesn't get my hair cut very often. I snip at my curls occasionally just to get by. I decided to get a real haircut and went to Ethan at James Allen Salon. He gave me one of the best haircuts that I have ever had. He made my curls more curly and didn't cut them too short. He cuts dry and wet. He really took the time to work with the way my curls fall and the texture of my hair. He is also is a super styler. His product knowledge and the way he dried my hair was just perfect. It was one of the few times that I walked out of a salon and didn't go straight home to rescue a curly hair disaster. I am thrilled!

  Review:

  I have very thick, dry, 3a curly hair that I used to style straight most of the time until I moved to Austin two years ago. Since then I've been to three different stylists and have gradually been growing my hair longer, but really felt I needed someone who specialized in curly hair. After searching the Naturally Curly website for salons in Austin, I made an appointment with Ethan Shaw, about whom I had read many positive reviews on this site. After my experience, I would definitely recommend Ethan for a haircut, and color as well. He gave me a great cut and took a lot of time and care in explaining to me how to work with my hair, and he's a really nice guy too. With my former stylists I had never really liked the way they styled my hair curly, but Ethan seemed to know just what to do with my hair and got it just right, and that's a high compliment from a hair-obsessive like me! I'm really happy I decided to go to Ethan and will definitely be returning to him in the future.

  Ethan is the curly hair specialist in Austin. He always understands exactly what I want in a style and he always does a fantastic job. He has been my stylist for six years and he exceeds my expectations every time. I never end up with mushroom head (if you have curly hair you absolutely know what this is) and he recommends the perfect products, but doesn't try to oversell. I am always being complimented on my hair, and I always recommend Ethan.

  Review:

  I had the pleasure of visiting Mr. Ethan Shaw at Anne Kelso Salon on Friday the 13th of all days. Whoever said this is an unlucky day never got their hair cut with Ethan on this day! He is wonderful, plain and simple. He took the time to really look at and play with my hair before the cut and explained to me what he thought should be done. He then washed it and did the initial shaping while wet, then dried it with re:coil (he asked me what styling product I have and love and used that!) and then dried it. Then he cut each curl! Wow! He didn't pull out any magic hairdresser tricks and asked me how I normally style my hair (which I don't) so he did that. He took into account my very busy life and gave me a beautiful, easy, do-able cut. He is a very nice guy to boot! I will definitely be going back to him! We are so lucky to have him in Austin, curlygirls!

  I had a great experience with Ethan. He really talked to me about my type of hair, and what would be the best products to use. He is the best curly cut I have had in the 7 years of living in Austin, TX. I usually have to go home and restyle my hair, but I left looking fabulous! If you want someone who really knows curls of all sorts Ethan is the man!

  Review:

  Over the years my semi straight hair has been getting curlier and curlier. Frustrated at trying to straighten my hair all the time (it would take at least an hour since I have A LOT of hair), I finally decided to go with the natural curl. The stylist I was seeing was no longer working out for me. I finally went to Ethan after a friend recommended him and WOW. The cut is great and he recommended some styling products for my hair so now it only takes me minutes in the morning to style my hair and it does not frizz in the middle of the day. I tried going back to my old stylist and hated it, I am now back with Ethan and loving my hair.

  Recently, my straight hair became curly. I didn't really know what to do with it. Ethan gave me a haircut that complimented my new texture and looks great! SR Koivisto
