COMING SOON
Construction on a second Salt + Waves Salon location at 2098 Murfield Bend, Hutto is estimated to be complete in November. The salon will feature a separate coffee shop and taproom entity called Dwell House Coffee + Tap. Owner David Bednarek said because the property is situated where a drive-thru can easily be added, he and his wife decided to include beer and coffee sales at the new location. www.saltandwavessalon.com
