Best Hair Salon Near Buda, TX | Sara Carden Hair

Balayage, color correction and precision cuts in southwest Austin, about 25 to 30 minutes north of downtown Buda by I-35 or MoPac.

Welcome, Buda neighbors

Sara Carden Hair is a private suite inside Marquise Salon Suites, right off Highway 71 in southwest Austin. For Buda residents it is an easy drive north, and the appointment is nothing like a rushed, one-size-fits-all visit at a chain salon.

Sara is a colorist and stylist with more than two decades behind the chair, a Bumble and bumble background and ongoing education as an Evo Pro Ambassador. She takes the time to understand what you want before she starts.

Buda has grown quickly, and living outside the city center should not mean settling for less. In Sara's suite you are the only client in the room: no distractions, no noise and no waiting. Sun-kissed balayage, a full color correction, a precision cut or keratin smoothing, for every hair type and texture.

  • Complex color

    Balayage, foilage and color corrections, including clients who arrive after a color job went wrong somewhere else.

  • The private suite

    One client at a time: no competing music, no shouting over blow dryers and no waiting area.

  • Products and home care

    Professional Evo products in the chair, and a home routine that keeps your hair looking fresh between visits.

  • Time to do it right

    Sara books enough time for each appointment, so nothing is rushed to fit in another client.

A stylist who listens

Every appointment starts with a consultation about your lifestyle, your goals, how much upkeep you want and how much change you are comfortable with. Sara is honest about what is realistic for your hair's type and condition, and never pushes you into something you are unsure about.
