Gabriela Arista in Georgetown, Texas

Gabriela Arista is the only heart-centered hairstylist and podcaster who creates a safe space for her clients in Georgetown, Texas, to prioritize their hair health, and who suggests lifestyle-appropriate looks while also serving women—both in her chair and listening to her podcast—through encouragement, inspiration, and education around beauty, self-care and personal growth, so women can learn to love themselves (inside and out) without comparison, in an era of one-size-fits-all beauty standards that lead to self-doubt, insecurities, and misguided beliefs for anyone who “stands out” from the crowd.
