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.

  • Balayage and blonding

    Hand-painted, dimensional color and full blonding, planned to grow out softly.

  • Color correction

    Fixing banding, brassiness and past color with an honest, step-by-step plan.

  • Precision and razor cutting

    Cuts shaped to your texture so they hold their shape between visits.

  • Keratin smoothing and extensions

    Keratin smoothing for Austin humidity, and hand-tied extensions for length and fullness.
