Salon 1150 is a luxury hair and beauty salon in downtown Austin, Texas.
Our editorial blog reaches a growing audience of beauty enthusiasts, style-conscious professionals, and haircare seekers every month.
From time to time, we open our blog to outside contributors – experienced writers and beauty professionals whose expertise genuinely serves our readers. If that sounds like you, we encourage you to read through our standards below before reaching out.
Every article on the Salon 1150 blog goes through an editorial review process. We prioritize depth, accuracy, and reader value above all else.

Editorial contributions from qualified writers are considered on their merits. Brand collaborations and sponsored editorial arrangements are handled separately through direct discussion.
A short author profile is included where editorially appropriate. Links within the article body are evaluated solely on relevance to the reader they are not guaranteed and are not part of any arrangement.
We aim to respond to all pitches within five to seven business days. If your pitch moves forward, final publication typically follows within two weeks of draft approval.
