About Us
Our story
A private studio built on twenty years of craft
Sara Carden Hair is a one-on-one studio inside Marquise Salon Suites on Highway 71 in Austin. Founder Sara Carden grew up in California and spent more than two decades in the beauty industry, from commercial sets and editorial shoots to music videos, fashion week runways and red carpet events, before making Austin home.
Clients come from Austin, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Dripping Springs and across the Hill Country for an appointment that feels personal, unhurried and focused entirely on them. Meet Sara.
Our philosophy
Great hair starts with trust. We take the time to listen, to understand how you live, and to build a style that works for you, not just in the salon mirror but on a Tuesday morning when you are running out the door.
The work is rooted in precision cutting, especially straight-razor work, which creates texture, movement and shape that look effortless. We are not interested in trends that do not serve you. Every appointment is one-on-one: no double-booking, no distractions.
