About Sara
Sara brings more than 20 years of salon experience to every client. Originally trained in Southern California, she relocated to Austin, where she combines dimensional balayage, precision cutting and advanced color correction in her own studio.
She is known for her straight-razor cutting, her ability to read a client's texture on the fly, and custom color formulas that work with the tones you already have. There are no assistants and no handoffs: just Sara, you, and a plan built around your hair and your routine.
