Why Leander clients choose Sara Carden Hair

Leander has changed a lot in the last ten years, with new neighborhoods going up all the time. Finding a stylist who really knows color, cuts and texture can still feel like a search.

Sara Carden has more than 20 years behind the chair, a Bumble and bumble educator background and ongoing work as an Evo Pro Ambassador. Clients from Leander, Cedar Park, Liberty Hill and Georgetown come to her suite inside Marquise Salon Suites at 7010 W Highway 71, Suite 122.

She specializes in lived-in color, precision cuts, corrective color and styles that work with your hair instead of against it. She looks at your face shape, texture and lifestyle, and what you can manage on a Tuesday morning when you are running late, then builds the look around it. The suite is private and quiet, and she never rushes an appointment to fit in someone else.

  • Precision haircuts

    Bobs, long layers, textured shags or a big chop, shaped to grow out well and to suit how long you want to spend styling.

  • Lived-in color and balayage

    Hand-painted highlights and custom tones that blend softly and still look good months later.

  • Corrective color

    Orange banding, green-tinted blonde or patchy color, fixed with a clear plan and an honest timeline.

  • Blonding and highlights

    Icy platinum to warm honey, lifted carefully so the ends stay healthy and brass stays away.

  • Men's cuts

    Clean, consistent cuts built for your hair type and face shape.

  • Special occasion styling

    Blowouts and styling for weddings, galas, prom and date nights, made to hold up all evening.

Every service, start to finish

Sara does every service herself, with no handoff to an assistant. She will also tell you the two or three products that will make the biggest difference for your hair and how to use them, without pushing anything you do not need. See her work on Instagram at @prettycutanddry.
