Authentically Austin

Have been getting blonde highlights done by Melanie & Jenesis since I moved to Austin 3 years ago - always leave the salon SO happy (and with perfect hair)! Great service, friendly staff, pretty standard pricing. Would recommend both of these artists for anything blonde!

I've been coming to Bella for all my hair needs for over 5 years! Mel is the best. She is the only person who has ever dyed my hair. I always walk out feeling my absolute best.

I’ve been going to Mel at Bella Salon for years (8 years to be exact), and she is absolutely incredible. She’s the only person I trust to highlight my hair and she leaves me with the perfect blonde hair. She also makes sure to take care of my hair and lets me know when is a good time to add a special treatment to keep my hair healthy and shiny. I love coming to her for haircuts as well because she takes her time and actually makes sure your face layers look great at different angles. Her blowouts are also flawless and last for days. Beyond being insanely talented, Mel is the sweetest, most fun person to be around. I genuinely look forward to my appointments just to catch up and always leave feeling so happy with the final results. :)

I’ve been going to Bella Salon for a few years and Melanie is my go-to! I booked with her after a friend recommended her to me, and decided to color my hair for the first time.

I was rocking short, purple hair for a while that eventually faded into a really nice lavender color. My hair didn’t feel dry, or damaged like I thought it would and still maintained a really nice healthy shine. Over the years she’s still been my number one pick for a hairstylist, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair!

Jenesis was the absolute BEST! She was so joyful and did an amazing job with my hair. We had a consultation before she really understood how I wanted my haircut and it looks beautiful!!

Melanie did such a good job - so obsessed with how my hair turned out. She gave great advice on the color and gave me the perfect cut! Completely recommend!!!

Mel is awesome! She is so sweet and always does an amazing job with my hair! I've been seeing her since 2017 and have never had anything short of a great experience!

I found Bella Salon through a friend’s recommendation and took a shot in the dark picking one of the many fabulous stylists. Three years later, Melanie has elevated my look through trims, big chops, and now most recently, color. She’s very easy to communicate with and especially skilled at interpreting my vision when I’m struggling to articulate it. I sincerely look forward to each of my appointments. When I sit down in Mel’s chair, I know I can let go and trust her process 100%. Book with Mel!

I’ve been going to Bella for about 5 years now, but haven’t really stuck with a particular stylist since my hair is pretty basic and doesn’t require advanced knowledge. I recently came for a keratin treatment and randomly picked someone like I normally do. I won’t say any names since it’s a bit rude, but I had a terrible keratin treatment. I’ve had many before and love them. However, I got home and let my hair sit for about 5 days without washing it. I then washed it and knew something wasn’t right. Half my hair looked like I had a keratin treatment and then other hair was frizzy like nothing was ever done to it.

I immediately called the salon to speak with the manager regarding my concerns. She was very understanding and set me up with another stylist to get my keratin treatment redone stat. I was instantly rebooked with Stephanie.

Stephanie did an excellent job and I could instantly tell it was done correctly. 5 days later, I washed my hair and it’s perfection! Thanks Bella for making my experience right!

I had the most amazing experience with my stylist, Keith! From the moment I walked in, he made me feel completely at ease. He took the time to really listen to what I wanted and offered expert suggestions that I hadn’t even considered. Keith’s attention to detail, creativity, and passion for his craft truly set him apart. I walked out feeling more confident and refreshed than ever—he completely exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait for my next appointment!
