Services Offered

Motive is a small hair studio in downtown Austin, Texas. Every appointment starts with a real conversation about your hair, your routine, what’s working, what isn’t, and what your goals are. From there we work with your texture and personal style to get to the look you want. You will leave with results you wanted, and feel comfortable throughout the visit.

Pricing and specialties vary by stylist. Visit the Team page to find your match.


We specialize in layered cuts, shags, natural lived-in shapes, gender affirming and alt- styles. Some of our clients prefer something subtle and low-maintenance, while others want something more alternative or bold. We’re comfortable with both, and everything in between.

Haircuts


Natural Color Services

We offer lived-in, dimensional color designed to grow out well and fit your maintenance preferences. Some clients want soft brightness or grey blending that feels subtle. Others prefer deeper contrast or richer tones. We approach color with a plan that makes sense for your hair and your routine.


Vivid Color Services

We also offer vivid and alternative hair color services - bold placement, high-contrast tones, or an all-over creative look, we’ll talk through what it takes and how it will live on your hair.

Service times and pricing will vary on complexity of process - to get an estimate start with the color consultation form!


Hair Extension Services

We specialize in beaded sew-in weft extensions. Hair extensions can be subtle enhancements or complete transformations. Our cutting expertise is what makes the difference here - no awkward lines, just a seamless blend for a natural looking extension installation. We use ethically sourced and quality hair extensions.
