Lo Shabino has built more than a salon at Strange Bird. She has created a welcoming community space rooted in authenticity, creativity, education, and care. Celebrating six years in business, Strange Bird has become one of Austin’s most respected haircutting specialty salons, earning more than 1,100 five-star Google reviews and a loyal following built through connection and word of mouth.
At the heart of Strange Bird’s mission is inclusivity. The salon welcomes all humans while specializing in all hair textures, ensuring every guest feels seen, respected, and confident in the chair. This commitment reflects the belief that exceptional hair care should never be limited by curl pattern, identity, or background.
Lo and her team are also deeply committed to supporting Austin’s LGBTQ community. Strange Bird has become a trusted space where individuality is celebrated and self-expression is encouraged without judgment. Beyond the salon, the team gives back through annual fundraising initiatives that support local communities in need.
As a haircutting specialty salon, Strange Bird uses no chemicals, aerosols, or artificial fragrances in its products or services, focusing instead on healthy hair and sustainable practices. Through classes and mentorship, the team also helps train the next generation of inclusive stylists today.
