Gabriela Arista

Highly recommend Gabriela! I was extremely impressed from the moment I walked in to the finished hairstyle. I have never had someone truly listen to what I was wanting done to my hair the way Gabriela did. She is someone that takes time to understand your "hair vision", talks you through the options and really cares for her clients. You are missing out if you don't choose her for your next stylist!!

I have been having Gabriela cut my hair before she ever opened up her own salon. I have followed her from business to business and then to when she opened her own business during the pandemic. I have always thought I had hard to manage hair because it is very fine but I have lots of it and when it is humid, it sort of just expands and can look frizzy even though it is not curly. She understands hair, textures, and products so well that she not only makes your hair look great in the salon, but you can replicate it and keep it that way with very little maintenance once you are home.

I have had plenty of past haircuts where it looks good that moment but once you wash and try to style yourself, it looks awful. With Gabriela's magic, I don't have to do much more than just comb it, and it looks great. Healthy and shiny with very little frizz. I feel she treats your hair holistically and gains an understanding of what it needs on a very individual basis. And for me, a haircut that saves you time every day that you do not have to spend fussing with it to have it lay right, is an enormous amount of time saved in the long run that I can spend doing other things. Which makes the price paid a true value. Sure, you can get a cheaper haircut, but life is too short to cheat yourself when a great cut and the right hair product can make you feel so much better about yourself and again, save you time from futzing with hair that never looks like you want it to.

Gabriela is fantastic! Very kind, professional, asks questions, amazing haircut and styling. She had to help me a few days later when I struggled to style my new hairdo (zero fault on Gabriela because I was sure I could style it like she had). Went back feeling defeated about not being able to do my own hair but she didn’t make me feel incompetent in any way and changed the cut so that I could work with it. I am so happy and pleased to have found her. Loving the hair and I recommend her to anyone. Wishing you all the best Gabriela!

Gabriela is wonderful. She takes her time and makes sure you are totally satisfied with your new haircut. She asks questions about how you care for your hair and will give you tips on what type of products to use and how to blow your new style so it will look as good as it did when you left the salon.. I was so happy to have found her. A true professional.

If I could give Gabriela more than five stars I would. She is very professional, kind, and cheerful. She knows exactly what she is talking about when it comes to hair and the environment of her salon is very pleasant. She asked me about my lifestyle and my hair preferences in which gave her a better idea of what hairstyle would best fit me. Gabriela cares about her clients and she is very fun and easy to talk to. I left her salon with a smile on my face and feeling more confident. I will definitely be going back to her.

Gabriela is amazing! She makes my hair look so beautiful! She mixes the color to perfectly compliment my skin tone and it comes out looking natural but better. Gabriela is sweet, fun, and it’s so easy to spend the time chatting. She doesn’t just pretend to care, she really does. I can not recommend her enough!

Gabriela is amazing! She knows a lot about the science of hair and asks really good questions before starting. It helped me feel understood and heard. And the colour and cut turned out amazing. It’s hard for me to find someone that understands my hair but Gabriela understands and goes above and beyond! And we had great conversation.

Gabriela is the best!! She really listens to what you want as your hair goals and she makes them a reality! Every time I leave I feel so much better than when I came in. She’s so sweet and fun to chat with! I’ve already recommended her to family and friends! She’s amazing!! I will continue to go back and highly recommend!!

Gabriela is such a good hair stylist I cannot recommend her enough. She listens to your concerns, gives a wonderful hair shaping, is great company AND tells you how to take care of your hair... She is 10/10 my hair dresser from now until I’m done here in Georgetown! PLEASE go and see her for all your hair needs!

If I could give Gabriela 10 stars I would! She is an inspiring, gifted and talented professional. She is personable, knowledgeable and incredibly kind. She puts you at ease immediately and feels as if she’s a dear friend after just meeting for the first time. Please do yourself a favor and have her do your hair!! She’s the best!

Gabriela is wonderful! Inquired about getting a haircut on Sunday & walked out with a fantastic cut at 10 a.m. on Monday. She walked me through her process, including getting to know her clients & their likes & preferences to give her a better idea of what would fit them & their lifestyle. And in COVID times, felt totally safe with her, which is a huge plus! Will definitely be coming back. Definitely worth the drive from north Austin!

Gabriela was wonderful!!! I love my cut and style, she is my new go to person for my hair! She explains everything she is doing, offers suggestions and seems to genuinely care that you are happy with the results!

Gabriela is extremely talented. She is an ultimate professional who listens to what you want in color and style. I never walk away feeling anything but newly refreshed and satisfied at the service she provided. Thank you for the care and love you give my hair!

Gabriela is so amazing. I struggled for years to find a person who does my hair just how I like and takes the time to ask questions. she is so knowledgable and genuine and im so thankful I found her!

Got a hair cut and style from Gabriela and I love it. She was super knowledgeable and gave me a thorough consultation before she even began shampooing my hair. She looked over my hair carefully and really tried to understand what I wanted and how I normally wear my hair. I have anxiety and so going to get my hair cut is an ordeal most times. I felt fully comfortable with her and felt like she really wanted to give me what I wanted. I also was unsure upon walking in what exactly I wanted and she helped me figure it out. My hair came out perfect. On top of all that she's super sweet and kind! I didn't feel pressured to buy any extra products, she made recommendations (that I asked for) about the kind of products I should look for. I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend her!

Ms Gabriela was amazing! She knew I was nervous. I have never had my hair this short before. After the cut, I was shocked. Then after the color, let me say BEAUTIFUL! She made me shine and smile like I use to(I've been down) and just hyped me up! Definitely someone to go to! Thank you again!

Gabriela is amazing. True artistry. I always feel so fantastic after getting hair done by her. I just tell her what I dont like about my hair and she diagnoses the problem and always has the answer. Highly recommend

Gabby is an amazing listener, she takes the time to get to know your hair, lifestyle and environment (which affects the hair) and your hair goals. Gabby is professional, clean and simply talented, I love her work and look forward to a long customer / stylist relationship!

Gabriela is the BEST in the business! I have been a client of hers for years and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. She is incredibly talented and always does an amazing job on each & every visit!

I appreciate you listening to my concerns about my hair and achieving my goals with out comprising the integrity of my hair. It has been quite the journey for me with several different stylists before visiting you. You nailed it! Thank you Gabriela for doing an amazing job on my hair!
