Garbo A Salon

Some of you already know me well, as we have shared stories, friendly conversations and cares together over the last 11 years. To others of you, reading this may be our first introduction and I look forward to the day we meet in person within the walls of Garbo or the world at large. I welcome you all to this blog post and to hopefully the many others that will continue in the same vein, as I explore what it means to Build and Maintain a Business from the Heart. My name is Jonathan Jones, and I am the Director of Garbo Inc. (aka: Garbo A Salon & Spa, Garbo A Salon). It is story time! As a young child, I had a great uncle that ran a little barbershop in Ballinger, Texas. His quaint little 5 chair barbershop in a historical downtown district, complete with old brick roads, was a place of memorable joy for me. I was born in Austin, Texas, growing up just 20 miles Northeast in the little farm town of Hutto, Texas, population 634. Quarterly at a minimum, my family would make the four hour drive from Hutto to Ballinger to visit my Great Grandmother and the rest of the family. Our visits always included a trip to the family barbershop to clean me up with the best haircuts. My mother was military and never let my hair get too long as a child. I can remember the smells first and foremost when I think of the old barbershop. Walking through the doors, you are instantly met with the radiance of boot polish, barber elixirs, shampoos and shaving creams. The shop had a 2 seat shoe-shine station in one corner and each chair was always turned away from the mirrors during service to allow the customer to view, through an all glass storefront, the beautiful historic town and people out and about shopping. My great uncle insisted on experience. He went above and beyond to provide exactly what his guest needed within his realm of hair care and personal care knowledge. I was treated to this type of experience, even though I was family and he could have let the experience go without fault and provide just a haircut. Consistency in that experience was important to him. Every guest, every time; including me. From the moment you walk in, he has his attention on you. The aromas in the air blend. He welcomes you to one of his chairs. He doesn’t just cut hair. He doesn’t just trim beards or give shoe shines. He provides his craft for full service before letting the guest leave happy back into the world. He converses and builds relationships with those in his chair. He helps them relax and unwind and enjoy the moment. That is his magic as I experienced. That is the magic of a well run business from the heart that I would later come to understand. Services at his barbershop included a complementary neck and shoulder massage; provided with the coolest machine I remember in my youth. A glove like device strapped to the back of the hand of the barber provided a vibration which would massage your shoulder and neck stresses away. The shampoo that followed was always my favorite

Highlights
"No way would I go to any other salon! Ive been going to Garbo since 2012, first at the north location, and once Garbo Salon Northcross opened, I took the opportunity to go there since it's closer to my house. No matter which location, Garbo is my one and only choice for hair care, and I especially recommend Kelly, who I'll follow to either location! For five years she has been amazing! Whether with perfect haircuts to beautiful highlights, Kelly has used her expertise to make hair look better than it ever did before I "found" her. Every time I leave, I love the way my hair looks and feels... and I love all the compliments I get from my friends!"

The month of June is all about dads! Garbo A Salon & Spa salutes all dads and father-figures and wish them a Happy Father’s Day! Some dads are majestic. They make things that are missing appear. Some dads are heroes. They save us from all sorts of predicaments. Some dads are wise. They help us understand and see things better. Some dads are funny. They make us laugh even when we want to cry. Some dads are loving and caring. They make us want to be better people. I’m reminded of my dad, Daddy Jaybird. Thoughts of him come up all the time for me at work! I can still hear his advice in my memories. “If your mouth is moving your hands are moving,” he would say. That saying is embedded in my mind. It’s something I often share with my stylists because if we are talking and our hands are moving, it takes away from the service we should be providing for our guests. Our hands should be working for them and not for us to express our thoughts while on their time. Thinking of it makes me giggle with wonder. My Dad may be gone, but his expressions continue to live and have influence. Something else I remember him saying jokingly was, “Running late for work? If you were running, you wouldn’t be late?” Ha!!!!! Happy Father’s Day from Garbo A Salon & Spa! My father was wise, loving and caring. Memories like these keep him close to my heart, and I’ll do something on Father’s Day to honor my sweet memories of him. Whatever your dad or father-figure is to you, Garbo will help you celebrate him with something special by helping you create a fun and enjoyable experience. Most gifts have a short shelf-life but creating memories with fun experiences will last forever. If Jaybird were here now, I would certainly spoil him. I’d drive him to Garbo so he could get a special back facial by Marina. Then I’d make sure he had the best haircut ever, and I’d seal the experience with a manicure and pedicure by Ashley. I’d also include so many kisses and hugs he’d talk about it for the rest of his life. If you are without your dad or father-figure we hope you have warm memories to celebrate. And for those of you fortunate to have the chance to celebrate with your dad, we recommend creating a fun and memorable experience designed just for him. Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Garbo! With gratitude and respect, Marsha more
Pedicure
"Amazing experience, talented staff, and friendly environment. Would definitely recommend! The facials are so relaxing, pedicures are nice and in a private area, and there is no other place I would want to go for color/cut for my hair!"

Facial Treatment
We are always looking for ways to expand the level of service we provide at Garbo. Throughout this last year, we realized we had an opportunity to enhance the options for consultation that we are providing our guests. Our team worked to develop and create a system allowing Virtual Consultations as a new service for our Garbo guests. No longer do you need to make a separate trip for a consultation before scheduling a "Big Change" service. With a Virtual Consultation with Garbo, you can save yourself time and stress with optimized booking and a clear and concise price before you schedule and book your services. Consult on anything from Color, Cuts, Waxing, Nails, Facials, or any other beauty services you would like to enjoy with Garbo. Call us at either location today to setup your Virtual Consultation and check out the video below for more information and what to expect with our Virtual Consultation. We look forward to talking to you soon! Northcross: 512.458.4162 Southshore: 512.520.5660 more
