I've been seeing Maribel for over a decade- Her work is her art and she's very proud of it. She always makes me feel like a million bucks when I leave

Mala Vida is where I have gotten all of my favorite haircuts! Couldn’t recommend them enough. There is so much precision and technique, you can tell they’ve dedicated years to their craft. My hair always come out so fluffy and wispy. I always get tons of compliments and it grows out so nicely in all of its stages.

Affordable and professional hair stylist with a great personality and hair cutting skills!

First pro haircut for my 5 yr old and new cut for myself. My daughter felt comfortable and excited to be in Maribel’s styling chair! I needed a new look to help me want to do more than just running a brush through my hair and heading out the door. Thanks to Maribel for experience and we will be back for another snip!!

I have been seeing Maribel for almost 10 years now. When she left her previous location years ago—of course they wouldn’t tell me where she went— I literally found her on a friend of a friends page & asked them for her info. The atmosphere, cleanliness & professionalism she offers is unmatchable. From pixie cuts, mullets & long layers, she can do anything!

I was looking for someone to do a “pixie-ish” cut for my daughter (10) that wouldn’t break the bank but would also do a nice cut! I found Maribel on Instagram after looking at all of her work and was really blown away! When we got to the salon, I felt like she really understood exactly what my daughter wanted done and we felt really confident in her abilities! Not only was this the most adorable cut my daughter had ever gotten, it was done with such great precision and skill!!! Maribel was nice, professional, personable, and knowledgeable! I cannot wait to go for my own appointment!!! 10 out of 10! 5 ⭐️!!!!

If you want a cut that fits your personality, your face shape, and works with your natural textures then you've come to the right place! Not often can you find a hairdresser that will A.) Give you what you want B.) Cut your locks in the best way to fit you C.) Be open and honest about your ideas for the best outcome. 👌🏾 Worth your time and money here.


Feb 06, 2022

I’ve only let Maribel cut my hair for about 15 years. When I have gone to other places for a blowout, they always ask WHO cuts my hair?? Even other professionals are impressed!


Feb 06, 2022

Mala Vida Hair is a true artist with mad skillz!! She will make your vision come true and share her knowledge to enhance your vision. Go check her out and you will NOT be disappointed!!

Maribel cut my hair and gave me a completely new hairstyle. I hadn’t gotten anything done since before COVID and it was an amazing transformation. She played super cool music and was professional and very friendly. She asked for reference photos and gave me honest feedback on how to personalize what I wanted to my hair texture, face shape and length. Her many years of experience definitely show! She also showed me how to style my new hairstyle and which products she was using. I will be going back to her for sure. 10/10. The hot towel during the hair wash was a cherry on top.

Maribel has been cutting my hair for over two years now and she is easily the best hair artist in SATX!


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel has been cutting my hair for years! I trust her completely and she always does a wonderful job!


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel is AMAZING, I do hair myself and only trust her hands with my cuts! I have looked to her as my hair mentor/role model because she is so skilled, inspirational, and creative! I got my hair cut with her back in March, we are now in December and the way my hair has grown out not only exceeds what my personal hopes were, but my hair still looks great and layered! (Pics added from original cut - to present) Shes so very talented and I encourage you to look no further, as this sweetheart will always get the job done.


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel is amazing, knew exactly the style I was going for. Very professional and cool at the same time, made me feel very comfortable and listened to my ideas I drove from Austin and I will do it again when it’s time for a trim 🖤🤍🖤


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel is beyond words. I cannot explain what she does. She’s a true artist. She doesn’t use clippers, she scissors by hand and that’s talent in itself. She is always welcoming and down to earth. I love my Maribel!


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel is more than a hair stylist, she is an artist with a vision. If you want to get a basic haircut go to your local barber/stylist. If you want to feel like a rock star go to Mala Vida!


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel is so professional and friendly! She gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had and really helped me decide on a style that would best suit me. I feel more confident and hot because of my new haircut and i will definitely keep coming back for more!! <3


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel is the best!! She was recommended to me by friend last year. I had shaved my head during the pandemic and i needed a quick shape up. As my hair started growing back she kept working her magic. Everytime i go with her she does an amazing job. Shes really professional and attentive. A real work of art! I would definitely recommend her.


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel is the most friendly, and skillful barber/stylist I have ever met. I went to her not knowing exactly how I wanted my hair and she still made it look awesome. When I went back the second time we did something a little different and it was even better. I would highly recommend.


Feb 06, 2022

Maribel was super warm and welcoming. Gave me a great haircut experience. Her space was clean and inviting. Highly recommend.


Feb 06, 2022

Ms. Maribel gave me the haircut of a lifetime! To say that my cut was "good" would be a gross understatement. Not only was she incredibly professional, but her shampoo and styling were top notch! Thanks Maribel!


Feb 06, 2022

Such an amazing artist! Absolutely amazed with every cut! The results speak for themselves! Highly recommended!


Feb 06, 2022

The best experience I've had getting a haircut. As someone with curly hair it's hard to find someone who gives me a haircut I'm more than satisfied with. I've always been happy with how my haircut turns out and the service provided. Maribel makes sure you're comfortable and communicates to get your desired style. Getting my haircut here is always an experience that increases my confidence. I highly recommend her services!


Feb 06, 2022

Very sweet. Knows exactly what you’re talking about and want. Gets it on point. 🔥
