I just had an okay experience here - unsure that I'd return for a visit. The receptionist desk wasn't super friendly upon arrival so I had a feeling it would be subpar as a result. It's a really cute salon though, with plenty of free parking. For background, my regular stylist (at a different salon) called to reschedule my appointment two days prior because she was sick and couldn't get me in for another week - it happens. I purposely scheduled this appointment because of an upcoming event so I was hustling trying to find someone to do my roots, and possibly give me a trim, before my event in 3 days. Bella Salon contacted me quickly so I went with them. The color my stylist "matched" with my existing roots is much, much darker than my natural color, making my existing balayage - that still looked really good(!) - look like a total mishap. The application seemed very rushed (maybe because I sat in the lobby for 10 minutes after my appointment time) and then I was ushered to a heat lamp for 30 min. Well, she said it would be 20 minutes, but I sat there for 30 (when the lamp turned off automatically) while watching her do someone else's hair. She asked if I wanted a trim and I said, "if you have time" and she said she did. I didn't anticipate getting my haircut, thus, didn't include it in my initial inquiry. As we're walking back to the chair from the lamp, she noticed her next scheduled appointment waiting, and tells me he's 1 hour early. Then, as she's blow drying my hair, asks me when I last had a cut and tells me to save my money, that I don't need a cut. I appreciate this (her concern for my financial situation) but it definitely felt like she was trying to rush the service so she could get to the next client and complete her day. I had stains of hair dye all over my forehead when I left, too. $130 bucks (with a 20% tip) for 1 hour and not super stoked on the result. read more

Everyone was friendly (chatty, but not too much pressure to talk nonstop), and did great work. read more

I scheduled an appointment for a formal hairdo. Sage did a wonderful job! If I lived in Texas, this would be my hair salon for sure!

I highly recommend this salon. My daughter had a not so great experience elsewhere and I had wanted to treat my daughter for her birthday. The salon was able to accommodate my daughter quickly and matched her to an amazing hair stylist, Jenesis. Jenesis listened to what my daughter wanted and I couldn't be happier with the haircut and partial balayage. It is absolutely stunning. I want to thank Jenesis for not just the haircut and balayage but giving my daughter such a beautiful experience. Highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience with Troy for my Keratin treatment. He talked me through the process and gave me lots of tips to continue care at home to extend the treatment. read more

New in town and needed to find a new HG hair salon. I unfortunately didn't know who to book with, so got saddled with someone who never broke a smile, had only been there 3 months and it was a chore on my part to actually finish the appointment. I wanted to walk out within 10 minutes but figured he started the service so I would finish it. He wasn't prepared for my arrival and had to look for the right comb/brush/ beads, which added another 15 minutes to my already tedious appointment with Mr. Personality. Never going back, especially after getting charged $203 for a service that should've cost half of that plus the 1.5 hours that I'll never get back. read more

My curly hair people, at the risk of getting him overbooked I have to share this with you all. Forget settling for an ok haircut. Forget feeling kind of pleased. Don't you want to feel thrilled? Don't you want those curls to bounce and sway and make you feel like a curly haired diva that you are?? Keith can do this for you. I called him the magician and boy does he deliver. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, look at these beautiful curls, he did that! You're hands down the best Keith, and I'm so very glad I found you!! read more

Bella Salon - I've been outside in the humidity and still look at these curls!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I moved to Austin in June 2020 and struggled to find a salon with everything going on. I found Trista and Bella Salon and have been going here ever since! Whatever I need done, Trista does SO WELL. When I first saw Trista, I was my hair relaxed and she did an amazing job. A few years in, we stopped relaxing my hair and Trista worked with me on growing out my natural hair and did an amazing job on this journey. She keeps my hair healthy, shiny, long, and so pretty. I can't say enough good things about Trista and Bella Salon! I'm so lucky to have found such a great place. read more

Trista did an amazing job giving me the service I wanted, even when we had to jump through some hurdles. I have been going to Trista for over 10 years, and trust her so much with my hair that I flew out from California just to see her. Yes, I refuse to have anyone else touch my hair and it's definitely worth the flight. Trista can work some miracles, particularly with my natural curls (and especially when they need some TLC given my hectic life as a single parent with a high demanding career). I cannot say enough about Trista with her knowledge and downright natural skills with hair. Finally, she's an amazing human being. read more

I can't recommend Raquel enough! I'm pretty picky, and this is the first time I've left a salon feeling 1000% thrilled with my results, and it's all thanks to her skills. Raquel really listened to what I wanted and got my dark curls to the perfect blue I was hoping for. Her years of expertise really showed. She's also an incredible, warm, and fun person to get to know--I came in nervous and she put me at ease and just made my day. If you want a stunning color transformation, Bella Salon ATX is the place, and Raquel is the expert you need. Her work is worth every penny. Thank you, Raquel, for bringing my dream hair to life! read more

Jenn was amazing, I found my new "fo-to" for Austin and will even go out of my way to be here when I can plan my own schedule. Considering I cut my own hair, after a "reputable" salon I chose while traveling left me with an odd triangle curly cut (unless it's intended it's a bad plan, and she even asked me how to fix it - NOT Jenn, the girl from the "other" place). On the other hand, Jenn was fast and remarkably better. I'll choose her every time I'm in Austin. I have unruly curly, it was way more than I expected. Hell "Yes"! read more

Katie Lauer is my hairdresser and has been extraordinarily helpful as I transitioned from short dyed hair to a Bob with natural grey/silver hair. I truly didn't understand how different grey hair was to fix or dry or anything. Luckily my hair turned a terrific silver but I was clueless on how to fix a totally new look or even what products to use. Katie was patient and provided guidance and suggestions and always made me laugh (she has a gift for that). My hair looks wonderful and she really listens to the small tweaks I want while understanding my hair. I get compliments all the time from men and women and couldn't be happier with my hair. read more

This salon is great and Candace is AMAZING!! I went in to do the opposite of most women my age - I wanted to go from 30 years of dyed red hair to my natural gray - with a twist. I wanted to have a sassy transition by adding purple streaks and dark gray lowlights. Nothing like a good challenge! This might normally be a two or three phase process , but Candace did it in one trip. It turned out just the way I envisioned it (not frequently an easy feat) and I love it. I posted pic on my FB page and got more likes than anything I've ever posted. The salon itself is bright and classy. read more

I have been to so many lash lifts in Austin and have never had even close results to what Jessica does. She is magic! She is super knowledgeable, her skill is incomparable and her selection of products are the best quality, no damage and a long lasting lift every time! She is also a skin expert so any facial with her you are in excellent hands. Get a lash or skin appointment with her now you wont regret it! read more

This is what I asked for and this is what I got. I was quoted $125 over the phone then asked to have it washed before styling the total with tip was $250. That's an expensive wash. Candice was very nice but didn't obviously listen to my request. read more

The salon has a great vibe. I had a wonderful, relaxing facial with the esthetician, Jessica. She is very professional and doesn't push products, just does a great job. Then I had highlights by Joe and they look beautiful! I can always rely on him to do a great job whether it's a cut, a color or just a blowout. I always leave happy! read more

Loved my hair cut . I feel great about it. Most recommend. Love how they will hep you with options By candace read more

Troy did a great job! He was really friendly and gave me a really natural looking balayage that added great dimension to my hair.

After having a traumatic hair experience a year ago that left my hair damaged and looking awful I have found my forever salon! Tristen upgraded my hair in a way I didn't think possible. She blended my natural color down effortlessly and brought up golden highlights. She was honest and super sweet about what we realistically could do with the hair I came in with. I am beyond happy with how it turned out. Cannot recommend Tristen or the salon enough! read more

This is my first time writing a yelp review. I want to send a huge thanks to Jonny - who I'm so grateful just landed in Austin! I'd grown attached to the idea of having long hair, and I'd stopped cutting it. It was in desperate need of revitalization. I love the cut Jonny gave me and I'm still obsessed a month later. Thank you for making hair cuts fun! See ya soon! read more

Candace is an excellent and got my color right. Friendly service! The front desk was great. Clean and well designed space.

Joe Conroy is the best color specialist I have ever watched work! I have had my hair bleached and colored in shades and values that Joe would always know would work best with my complexion and my hair texture (who knew?) and my trust in him developed immediately. He explains what his process will be so you will know what to expect and it will make sense.. I love that he's thriving in Austin and trust me, you won't be disappointed and you will even learn some cool things about your hair. Thank you Joe, 5 stars and more ! read more

I would have recommended but I will tell you their prices are through the roof. Top that off with staff not being on time and no updates. But they are quick to let you know you are late and tell you they want to charge you if you leave/don't show up. While yes - if you can actually get into the stylist - they are great. My time is just as valuable and sitting and having to ask for updates when your stylist is 30 minutes plus late is unacceptable. Won't be going back, not worth the money when they are wasting my time and hire poor staff to take care of their high paying customers. read more

Great staff. Friendly. Love my hair cut and color! Cute place. Very clean. Highly recommend Lindsey, she is an amazing stylist and very caring to make sure de tangling my hair didn't hurt!!! read more

If I good give zero stars, I would. I got the WORST pixie cut I've ever had. If you need a pixie cut trimmed RUN FROM THIS PLACE!!!

Tristin took lots of time since this was our first cut. She was very diligent in making sure everything was just perfect. Also had a nice chair side manner. Lovely young lady .Will definitely keep her as my stylist. The Salon is immaculate and very bright. Staff are all very friendly. read more

I was so wowed by the reviews for this salon that I moved my flight home by a day and paid an extra night at a hotel to get the appointment they had available. I have really curly hair and finding a place that can do curly hair well is no small feat. One star because: --I arrived at 1:15 for a 1:30 appt. checked in. --Waited --Waited more --At 2pm, I went up to the front desk person to ask what was going on and she said my stylist WASNT EVEN THERE YET. She offered 15% off my next booking, which does me no good because I was there visiting and won't be in Austin for at least a year. What perplexes me the most is why the front desk person didn't come over to me sooner to say that the stylist wasn't there and was on her way? Why left me wait for FORTY-FIVE minutes? I was talking to a friend on the phone, so maybe she thought I hadn't noticed? Still, really awful service for a salon with such good reviews and high price tag (my service starts at $175). read more

I usually get my hair cut at the beginning of every summer but due to lockdown, I needed to wait until it was okay again. I felt very safe at this salon. Everyone had masks, everything was sanitized and set up to be socially distant. Alexandria cut my hair and I love my new hair! It feels so light and healthy! I'm just in town for a month and Alexandria also gave me great tips for places to visit while in town. I highly recommend getting your hair done here for a safe and welcoming way to feel confident during this rough year. ‍ read more

First thing's first. Ginnie is the best hair stylist I have ever had. My long mop got a much needed cut and she blew me away with how well she listened to what I wanted and asked questions to make sure to get it right. From the front of house staff to the final snip my experience was absolutely lovely and I made sure to book my mid point trim and full hair cut before I left the salon. Even with all of the PPE and safety measures I felt pampered and understood the whole way through. Thank you so much to all of the Bella Salon staff for making my first time here so memorable. read more

So, I've been coming to Bella since I was in college, and it's always been my favorite salon even when I've lived in other places. Steven has been styling my hair for the past year, and believe me, he can work magic! My hair is a light brown that I like to have lightened substantially, and it can turn a little brassy! Steven has pretty much fixed that issue for me, which is wonderful in and of itself, but he also does root retouches in between highlights that look very polished and natural. Anyhow, I probably don't need to write quite this much, but it's a beautiful salon, with all very talented stylists and aestheticians. read more

He always listens and asks questions before we start to make sure we're aligned on cut and color. And his technique is flawless. Never leave me, Keith. Neverrr! read more
