Welcome to Salon Festa! I’m Leila Halbert, owner, stylist, one woman show extraordinaire! 

I opened Salon Festa in 2022, after 3 years of barbering, 1 year in a commission salon, and 7 years booth renting. Having my own space where I could thoughtfully curate the culture, vibe, and aesthetic, that best reflects who I am as an artist and a human, has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember (and holy sh*t look at me, I’m doing it!) I am passionate about the art and the science of hair, but also about the power of human connection, which is why I love what I do so much!

Variety is the spice of life, and I offer a wide variety of services, but what I love the most are precision cuts, vivid/creative color, straight razor shaves and big transformations. My goal is to be sure every person leaves my chair feeling even better on the inside than they look on the outside! 


Good hair. Badass energy.
My mantra.

The party starts in the chair.

Dream Hair Starts Here

"I highly recommend booking with Leila!"

"This place has it all! It has the CUTEST decor, so vibrant and eclectic without feeling cluttered. It's also a single chair salon, so it's just you and the stylist, which is quite nice and feels less overwhelming than being in a large salon with tons of conversations and noises surrounding you. Speaking of the stylist, Leila is incredible! She is friendly and funny and did a fantastic job on my hair. I've gone a few times, the first time was for a cut and color. I wanted really dark hair, but not black and let me tell, she nailed it! The color looks so natural and I absolutely love it. Even as it fades, it remains a good color and hasn't washed out very quickly, which is fantastic. Leila suggested some hair products for my hair that I have been loving as well. I always appreciate when a stylist takes the time to recommend specific hair products for MY hair. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Leila at Salon Festa! Oh, and she even offers little snacks while you're there! 

"I've been getting my hair done by Leila for years."

"I've been getting my hair done by Leila for years, and she's amazing! I actually fly up from California a few times a year just to go to Salon Festa. She always does an incredible job and I always leave relaxed and feeling good about myself."

"Let me tell you - she is it!"

"Just freshly moved up to Bellingham and let me tell you, she is it! She is so welcoming and kind, and really took the time to understand my vision. Leila walked me through her ideas and the whole process of it all. She exceeded my expectations on every level. So amazing, best hair experience I've had!"

"Leila is a true artist!"

"Leila is a true artist! I always leave with exactly what I asked for and feeling beautiful! She is open and honest when she thinks something won't work the way you want it to and is helpful with creative new ideas. I love that I found her and recommend her 100%!

"I'm so proud of her and she is amazing at what she does!"

"Leila is awesome! For the last 10 years, I have been going to see her for haircuts (and occasional beard trims). I have followed her from every barber shop and salon she's been at, and now she has her own place; Salon Festa! I'm so proud of her and she is amazing at what she does. My wife now goes to her for all her hair needs, too! If you're looking for a new barber/stylist, I highly recommend Leila! Go see her! 

"Leila has been doing my hair since 2015 and is the color queen!"

"Leila has been doing my hair since 2015 and is the color queen! LA quality color right here in Bham. HIgh recommend. Plus her salon is adorable, she brings you snacks, and she's hilarious. So many wins.
