Services
Brazilian Blowout
Brazilian Blowout is a customizable keratin treatment that eliminates frizz and enhances hair manageability. Our Master Certified stylists apply a patent-pending formula that temporarily realigns hair bonds, delivering smooth results lasting up to 12 weeks. The process includes shampooing, solution application, blow-drying, flat-iron sealing, and conditioning, completed in 90-120 minutes depending on hair density.
Balayage
Balayage creates natural, sun-kissed dimension through freehand color application. Our certified stylists use a sweeping technique to apply lightener, focusing on mid-lengths and ends for low-maintenance growth. The service includes a personalized color consultation and can be completed in one or multiple sessions depending on desired intensity and hair length.
Hair Extensions
We offer premium human hair extensions using methods like HotHeads, Great Lengths, and Invisitab. Each package includes hair, installation, styling, and follow-up appointments. Our specialists provide free consultations with test extensions to ensure optimal length, color match, and comfort while maintaining natural hair health throughout wear.
Goldwell Color
Goldwell's Couture Color Services deliver vibrant, long-lasting results through advanced formulations. Our stylists use ammonia-free options and toners to achieve precise shades from subtle glosses to dramatic transformations. Monthly education ensures our team stays current with trending techniques like fashion-forward contrasts and multidimensional blends.
Bridal Hair
Custom bridal hair services include trial sessions and event-day styling for weddings and special occasions. Our stylists specialize in creating timeless updos, romantic curls, and secure styles that last through celebrations. Packages can be combined with other salon services for complete pre-event preparation.

Do you offer free color consultations?
Yes, we provide complimentary color consultations with our certified stylists. This includes discussing desired outcomes, hair health assessment, and recommending techniques like balayage, foils, or glosses tailored to your needs.
How long do hair extensions last?
Premium human hair extensions at Wild Orchid last 6-12 months with proper care. We offer follow-up appointments to maintain placement and hair health, using high-quality installation methods that minimize stress on natural strands.
Are your stylists trained in current trends?
Our team receives monthly education from Goldwell, Oribe, and Brazilian Blowout Master Educators. Stylists also attend industry events in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami to stay updated on emerging techniques and fashion-forward styles.
What makes your salon different from chain salons?
We combine independent ownership with luxury brand partnerships, offering personalized service in intimate settings. Our award-winning team focuses on building client relationships rather than high-volume turnover, with three convenient Austin locations.
