This year, even if warmer temperatures in Austin delay sitting around our fireplaces, candlelight and fragrances by NEST are instant ways to lift holiday spirits and get us in the mood for socializing, cozying up and enjoying being together. NEST is a long-time favorite of Janet because of the home fragrance line’s exceptional quality and the long-lasting candles that broadcast interesting and sophisticated scents throughout the room where they are placed.
Our favorite NEST fragrances come in lovely gift packets, candles and reed diffusers. So, grabbing a thoughtful and long-lasting gift is easy if you stop by the salon or remember to pick them up after your service.

JANET’S FAV LOCAL HOT SPOTS RIGHT NOW
Whether you’re entertaining (or escaping) visiting friends and family this season, here are some of Janet’s favorite hot spots around town:
 |
Desnudo
The coolest direct-to-customer coffee business. Gold, Silver & Bronze Memberships and Community events drive this unique and conscious coffee business with locations downtown and on Webberville Road.
From their website: By working directly with small family-run farms we can impact their lives by teaching them new techniques, encourage them to produce special coffees, with sustainable practices, regenerative agriculture, and a mindset that helps build a better future for their kids, and in turn, our own
Suerte
“Lucky Hour” Sundays 4-6 are particularly festive at this award-winning favorite restaurant of Janet’s. Their masa (gluten free as well) is magical and behind the astonishingly delicious and hand-crafted chips. Stunning presentations and always, always great.
Poeta
Award-winning “thoughtfully prepared all-day Italian,” is nestled in the Frances Modern hotel. Special, attentive and off the beaten path. Daily Brunch!
San Gines Chocolate & Churros
This historic and indulgent chocolate and churros establishment just recently expanded to Austin. Making these swoon-worthy confections in Madrid for over 125 years, their newest location is in our fair city. They also offer ‘take home’ options!
La Traviata
Back and better than ever, this long-time Austin favorite Italian restaurant has opened its new location out south. It’s so great! They serve amazing Italian food, offering lunch and dinner and are the antidote to downtown congestion worth the boogie.
Michelin Starred Restaurants
All of Austin’s fabulous restaurants who earned a Michelin star, and those who earned special mention are here: Michelin Restaurants in Austin We are surrounded by so much deliciousness.
Vintage Bookstore and Wine Bar
After a day of browsing, perusing vintage clothing and furniture, and walking on the east side this bookstore and wine bar is heaven. “Welcome to Austin’s Living Room,” is a smart stop for a libation or to enjoy the library. https://www.vintagebooksandwine.com/
Cosmic
One of Janet’s favorites patios offering caffeine, cool people watching, and after-hours action Cosmic Saltillo is a great option for the season’s meetings and greetings. https://cosmichospitalitygroup.com/saltillo/
The Well
Clean eating just a few steps from the salon, The Well is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Perfect for pre-theater meals near Austin City Limits, too. Make time for a smoothie after your next appointment.
