Twenty minutes from Marbella. The kind of results worth driving for.
Marbella's not short on salons, obviously. But if you've had the rushed appointment, the inconsistent result, the stylist who's clearly thinking about their next client. It might be worth trying somewhere else.
Sara Bella's in Calahonda, about 20 minutes east on the A-7. Two specialists. Both been doing this a long time, both actually good at it.
Who's behind it
The people behind the studio
Fanni Sara's got 16 years in as a hairdresser. Colour's her thing really: highlights, balayage, root touch-ups, full colour. Built her whole client base through word of mouth, no advertising, nothing like that.
Wash, scalp massage, blow dry, styling comes with every service. The price you see is the price you pay. Simple as that.
Mónika's been a nail technician for 20 years. Uses TPO-free and Hema-free gels, not because it's trendy, just because they're actually better for your nails long term. Manicure, BIAB, hard gel, pedicure. Cash, card, Bizum, whatever's easiest.
The honest answer
Is it worth the drive from Marbella?
Fair question, honestly. Most people who make the trip once end up coming back. The appointment's not rushed, your specialist isn't juggling three other clients while they work on you.
And the prices are what they say they are. Highlights from 90€, a BIAB set 35€. No surprise at the end.
From central Marbella it's about 20 minutes on the A-7. There's free parking at El Zoco, which small thing, but it matters when you're already running late.
