After 74 years of searching for a barber who truly gets men's hair -- especially the challenges of…read morethinning on top and that one stubborn side that never wants to cooperate -- I finally found Taren at Bella Vita Salon. My son had been going to her for about a year and kept insisting I try her. I'm so glad I listened. From the very first visit, Taren delivered exactly what I'd been missing. I like my hair just a little on the longer side, but it's very thin on top toward the back, and my left side has always been a problem area -- it simply wouldn't lay down nicely no matter what. Other barbers struggled with it for years. Taren gets it right every single time. She has a remarkable way of making everything cooperate, and the back always looks sharp and natural. It's consistent, precise, and exactly what I've been looking for. No more fighting with my hair in the mirror afterward. What makes Taren truly special goes far beyond the haircut itself. She's easy to talk to, genuinely engaging, and keeps the conversation flowing naturally -- listening well while sharing about her life and work. It feels like catching up with an old friend. She's the kind of person you'd want at a party to keep things lively and fun. My wife came along once and brought some wine and crackers to share; the two of them sipped and chatted the entire visit. Taren even recommended one of the excellent stylists at the shop for her. At just $45, the value is outstanding -- especially with thoughtful extras like her signature neck and shoulder massage. And while the outside of Bella Vita Salon looks unassuming, the interior is gorgeous and welcoming. It's easy to see why the community has voted it Best Salon in North Hays County multiple years running. Taren is the only dedicated barber in the shop and a true hidden gem specializing in men's grooming. If you're a guy in the Buda or Kyle area who's tired of mediocre haircuts that don't hold up, do yourself a favor and book with her. It's simple and convenient online. You won't be disappointed -- I haven't been in months of visits.

I have been working with her for years, and she is really easy to get along with. She ensures that you are satisfied with the service you receive. I should also mention that s Marlowhe is a blonde specialist. I've been dyeing my hair with her for years, and she brings your vision to life while keeping your hair healthy and preventing it from becoming damaged. One of the best things about her technique is that when your hair grows out, it almost looks like balayage instead of showing noticeable root growth. I'm always receiving compliments on it. I'm very picky about my hair, so if I'm recommending her, it's because she does exceptional work. Thank you, Brittany, for all the years of beauty and confidence thanks to your hair skills! https://www.salon-mystique.com/austin-stylists/brittany-marlow?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPNDA5OTYyNjIzMDg1NjA5AAEeSSQyfKBK4JFLoqKNlSuKdvMQeFL8ht0V57ZfHTN7cRgQojGt3Z33jZ-HyU4_aem_3nQWyYFDIT3eRHPdVkeNRw IG: https://www.instagram.com/hairbybrittannnyy?igsh=azFjZTJxbWNwMng3

I went in for a partial Highlight and haircut and what I left with was two short pieces in the front (not blended at all) and a random sideburn looking piece on one side of my head. My highlights were also yellow. The true disappointment came when I asked for a refund (for at least the full price of the haircut) and was offered $55 for a $90 haircut. I was told I received the discounted price refund for the haircut. I will say I was offered for it to be fixed but I was not interested in the same person that messed it up, trying to fix it. I simply wanted my money refunded. Instead I was told the stylist was "having a bad day." It is extremely disappointing to have this experience a week before my wedding and to be offered a "discounted price" refund for a horrible haircut. Unfortunately because of the way this situation was handled, I would not recommend this salon.

I have seen this shop for several years; don't know why I've waited so long to try it. Dianna did exactly what I asked.

Very modern and welcoming. When I came in, I was greeted by the stylists working on hair.

Everyone was chatting and clients seemed relaxed. Maribel was my stylist, and was super easy to talk to. I showed her some reference pictures and explained my situation, and she made sure we were on the same page before getting started.
