The Beauty Lounge — Local services in Redwood City

I’ve never been compelled to write a bad review but I must say I received the worst haircut of my life at the Beauty lounge. I had long virgin beautiful hair, and all I needed was a simple trim and some face framing pieces. I showed SUSY, my hairdresser, pictures of exactly what I wanted. I let her know I had a huge fear of my hair being chopped short as I have spent years growing it long. As she was overbooked and managing three clients at once, my service was rushed and I was sent home with half-styled hair. She only straightened the front pieces and left the rest frizzy. It wasn’t until I went home and straightened my hair that I realized it was very unsymmetrical and she gave me layers that made me look like I was from the 80s! I went back the next day to have her correct the uneven layers. Unfortunately to correct the uneven layers she ended up chopping my hair even shorter! The front layers come a bit past my shoulders and the back is to my lower back. There is a huge disconnect between the layers. I look like i have a mullet. I’m sad and In a way grieving my...

I went for a curly hair cut and all over highlights. It was a busy Saturday at the salon . Leti is very experienced and we discussed what I wanted. Scheduled online but my appt or info got deleted somehow. She cut it dry first. Then we did the highlights. Then we washed and she cut it again. No full dry before I left or styling included outside of styling cream. I’m very happy with the highlights they are expertly done. My hair hasn’t been sitting nicely since then. It was only the first time she has cut my hair so I think there’s room for improvement and curls dry differently etc. I love the highlights but the cut hasn’t really worked out even after a week to see if I could get used to it. Not sure exactly what the issue is it just doesn’t lay right and there’s kind of a shelf layer in the front. The price was at the very top of my budget. The color/highlights was be majority of that the cut probably would have been 120-150.

Update went back for a little redo of the front and blend of the layers after Leto texted me. I love it !...

I always look forward to my appointments with Atena and I can’t recommend this salon highly enough! From the first time I sat in her chair, I knew I had found my stylist for life. Atena has a unique ability to understand exactly what I want while offering her expert advice, making every visit a fantastic experience.

The atmosphere at Beauty Lounge truly enhances each appointment. There's a wonderful sense of community, filled with laughter and connection, which speaks volumes about the relationships they nurture here. Every time I walk in, I feel welcomed.

Additionally, the salon is perfectly located near great food and coffee spots, making it easy to enjoy a little outing before or after my appointment.

Thank you, Atena, and the amazing team for consistently providing such a wonderful experience. I always leave this place feeling lighter and...
