About

Among all the bars, food, and entertainment that is nestled on Austin's 6th street, one gem stands out on west 6th: a glowing neon sign with a pair of scissors reading "Bella Salon". Established in 1990, Bella Salon is one Austin's renowned upscale salons. Stepping inside, visitors are greeted with a range of art, warm southern hospitality, and a sense of nostalgia of old Austin.

Bella Salon is what most would describe as an "all in one" salon, offering all beauty services: hair, esthetics, and nails. You will be met with various members of the staff that all have their own unique styles, personality, and specialty. Bella’s employees ensure a memorable experience for any individual that sits in their chair. When you ask each team member why they love Bella, they will express their love for the clients, describe Bella as a second home, and highlight how the salon serves as a space where they can flourish creatively.

Outside of salon services, Bella is also a home for businesses, some of which are local and small. The salon carries products such as jewelry, accessories, home goods, and body care sourced from these businesses. Bella salon is proud to support: ROAM Homegrown, El Arroyo, Earthly Earring, Hey Girl Jewelry, Emi Jay, and Kendra Scott.

Bella Salon is a proud partner of Green Circle Salons, an environmental organization that is aimed to reduce salon waste. Bella prioritizes sustainability and environmental consciousness. By partnering with Green Circle Salons, they are able to make a positive impact on our planet.

"Love All, Serve All" was a famous saying by the salon's original owner, Josh Martin. The saying is a principle that establishes universal compassion and selflessness. Josh has integrated this into the salon's space to make it known to all that Bella is more than beauty: there is a sense of unity and community. Bella's current owner, David Roussy, has upheld this for the salon brand in the last couple of years. As a salon business owner, he continues to seek ways to enrich the lives of both his client and employees. Bella Salon is more than just a salon. They strive to make a positive impact, bring people into Austin's community, and make every individual feel comfortable in their own unique looks. They are dedicated to creating a welcoming space where people are encouraged to show a sense of confidence and empowerment that extends far beyond the chair.
