I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt people should see what $110 got me here…read more I had to stop the service mid-appointment because basic nail prep was not being done. I work with my hands for a living, and my nails genuinely needed proper cleaning and prep before tips were applied. Instead, I found myself having to repeatedly ask for basic prep work while being made to feel uncomfortable for speaking up. The tips were then applied with excessive glue/product underneath the nails, leaving thick chunks underneath that make the nails difficult to properly clean. When I expressed concern, I was told the glue "had to be there" to make the nails strong. I have been getting my nails done for decades and have never had a technician argue with me for not wanting large globs of hardened glue underneath my nails. When I said I wanted to stop the service, I was told "let me fix it," but the issues were never actually corrected. The nail lengths and shapes were inconsistent, the filing/shaping was uneven, and there were visible imperfections, debris, and rough edges throughout the work. I also had concerns about sanitation. The UV lamp being used appeared dirty and damaged, and the drill/e-file bits looked visibly unclean between clients, which made me increasingly uncomfortable during the appointment. I've attached photos so people can judge the quality for themselves.

Visited: 1/29/26…read more Shannon was an incredible hairstylist and host. She made me feel genuinely welcomed from the moment I arrived and took great care to give me exactly the haircut I wanted. She paid close attention to every detail, especially my request to retain length, and was always transparent about how much she was cutting, which I really appreciated. She was also so easy to talk to and incredibly thoughtful, constantly checking in to make sure I was comfortable, whether that meant offering coffee or water or making sure nothing hurt. Her scalp massage while washing my hair felt heavenly and truly elevated the experience, making it feel so luxurious. In addition to her amazing work, the location itself was beautiful, clean, and such a lovely space to be in, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I absolutely loved my haircut, and Shannon made me feel beautiful not only through the cut itself but also through her kind compliments and care throughout the appointment. I highly recommend her and will definitely be coming back in the future! (For reference, there's parking available in the back. If that area is full, street parking is also available.) Total (without tip): $120

Gabby for the win! My first time here. Was feeling very…read morelazy, but wanted to straighten my hair for the day. I looked up on yelp for blowouts in my area and this place came up. Gabby was the only Stylist available last minute, but it worked in my favor. I was lucky to get an appointment within two hours for a blowout. I kinda miss the turn, so ended up parking on the street, but there is parking in the plaza lot that they are in. But otherwise there is plenty of street parking for free along Olive Avenue. Gabby is so sweet, and although I don't mind a heavy-handed Stylist, she is very gentle. The whole experience was very relaxing and satisfied with my end result. My only complaint and the reason I gave only four stars is, I didn't love the shampoo bowls. They don't have the rubber neck support in the bowls, and I just felt like I kept sliding down in the chair and it made me think too hard and not be able to enjoy the shampooing experience. I will definitely come back to see her on these days that I am feeling lazy. I just want to be pampered a little bit. I ended up having her flat iron as well. Blowout alone was $65 and with flat iron was $80 total.

They hyped me up after everything was done and made me feel absolutely beautiful. The salon itself was very cute and intimate.

I'm a cooper queen, and the color is stunning! I can't tell you how many compliments I get on my hair. My hair is healthy and shiny! I also love going to the salon to be pampered. The atmosphere has a calming vibe with beautiful artwork and plants all around. It's a unique quaint salon in the city of Burbank. This salon could be easily mistaken for one in Beverly Hills, but without breaking your pocketbook! I highly recommend it, and I highly recommend Kaitlin!!

My wife had a frustrating experience at Color Lounge with her service.The initial consultation…read moreseemed promising, but the actual appointment turned out to be a massive ordeal. She was quoted a 6-hour timeline, but ended up trapped in the salon for a grueling 12 hours (9 AM to 9 PM). The real shock came at checkout when she was hit with an astronomical bill of $1,800, which came out to $2,300 after a 20% tip that she felt completely obligated to give because of the pure time spent by the stylist Sai. Worse than the price, her hair was severely damaged by the aggressive process. Her natural curl pattern was completely stripped, and the hair began breaking off any time she touched, brushed, or styled it. When we asked the owner, Sai, for guidance on professional deep conditioning or repair treatments to help recover from this, she simply told us to buy a retail bonding line and offered zero actual support or follow-up assistance. For thousands of dollars, you expect high-end expertise and client care, but my wife left with ruined hair and no support. We will not be returning.

I found this place through Yelp and was a bit hesitant since I hadn't dyed my hair in a while, but…read moreI decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I left very disappointed. I paid $620 total (including a 15% tip, $540 before tip) for a balayage and haircut, which felt extremely high--especially considering the haircut alone was only $80. During the appointment, the experience itself was uncomfortable. Chemicals were dripping onto my face, leaving stains on my forehead, and when my hair was washed, the water was cold and splashed everywhere. A few days later, after washing and styling my hair the way I normally do, I noticed how off the balayage looked. My roots already appeared very grown out--almost halfway down my head. I understand balayage is meant to grow out naturally, but this looked like it had been done months ago when it had only been a week. Even my family commented that it looked grown out. I called the salon to see if they could fix the top portion, and I was told my stylist, Angel, would call me back--but I never heard from her. Overall, I'm really disappointed. Not only was the service expensive, but the results didn't meet expectations, and there was no follow-up or effort to make it right.
