Best Hair Salon Near Wimberley, TX | Sara Carden Hair

Color, cuts and styling from a stylist with more than 20 years behind the chair, in a private suite on Highway 71 in southwest Austin, about 35 to 40 minutes from Wimberley.

Why Wimberley clients make the drive

The creek, the square, the galleries and market days on the first Saturday: Wimberley is a town where people care about quality and will drive for it. Living in a smaller town can mean fewer choices close by, but it does not mean settling.

The drive is about 35 to 40 minutes, up RR 12 to Highway 290 or through Dripping Springs, an easy, scenic route through the Hill Country. Some clients book a morning appointment and stop for lunch along 290 or in Bee Cave on the way home.

Sara's clients come from Wimberley, San Marcos, Dripping Springs, Bee Cave and Lakeway. In her private suite at Marquise Salon Suites, your time is focused entirely on you, which matters when you have made the drive.

About Sara Carden

Sara has refined her craft for more than two decades and is still learning. She trained as a Bumble and bumble educator and works as an Evo Pro Ambassador, which keeps her current on products and technique.

She is direct: if what you ask for will not work with your texture or face shape, she explains why and offers an option that will. That honesty is a big reason clients stay with her for years.

  • Haircuts that work for you

    A cut that air-dries well after a day at Blue Hole, or a polished shape for the drive into Austin, and Sara shows you how to style it yourself.

  • Low-maintenance color

    Custom-mixed formulas that grow out gracefully, so many Wimberley clients stretch visits to every 10 to 12 weeks.

  • Balayage and highlights

    Hand-painted, soft and sun-kissed, with foil highlights when they suit you better. Built for swimming, sun and air-drying.

  • Corrective color

    Box dye gone wrong or highlights that turned orange. An honest assessment first, then a realistic plan.

  • Toning and gloss

    A quicker visit to add shine and calm brassiness from Hill Country well water between color appointments.

  • Blowouts and styling

    For Hill Country weddings, events or just a good Thursday, for every hair type.
