I've had my hair done for over 20 years, and my experience with Vance in early 2025 remains, without a doubt, the most mortifying and disrespectful encounter I have ever had in a salon chair. The experience started on a bad note when Vance arrived 30 minutes late. He walked in completely unapologetically, offering no greeting and zero acknowledgment of the fact that I had been sitting there waiting. It set a cold, unprofessional tone for the rest of the appointment. During the consultation, his attitude was incredibly nonchalant and dismissive. I am currently postpartum, and when I asked for a cut, he later refused to even give me a trim, claiming I would have hair loss anyway. It felt patronizing and insensitive during a time when I was already feeling vulnerable about my changing body. To make matters worse, when I showed him a reference photo of the look I was hoping for, he actually mocked me. He told me the image was AI-generated and made a snide remark that I "couldn't even tell the difference." I didn't go there to be insulted or tested; I went there for professional service and a boost in confidence. I walked out of that salon feeling absolutely terrible. It took finding a much more talented (and kind) stylist elsewhere to reinstate the confidence. Vance likely doesn't remember this interaction, but I certainly do. I'm writing this to remind him that treating customers with basic human respect is the bare minimum. If you are looking for a stylist who listens and values your time, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. No one should be made to feel the way I did. read more

I'm a little late to this review, but you can see how my hair is growing out! Lana is truly amazing and so attentive. I told her that this was my first time going to an actual hair salon to get my color, and she really put my mind at ease by checking in with me throughout the appt. I had no idea what to ask for and Lana was really patient with me. She asked all the specific questions to get my desired look (ex. highlights or lowlights, what shades do you want, do you want it to blend in or did you want strips.) I showed her pictures of the general color I wanted and she ate with the color combination. (She told me, but I forgot the numbers and letters sequence) My hair is growing out now, but you can't tell I got it done 3+ months ago. I still get compliments from friends who think I got my hair done recently. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, THANKS LANA read more

See all

I've been coming to Aria Beauty for 2 years now because my friend recommended them, Aria Beauty is a gem. Lana always works her magic! I'd love to gate-keep Lana but that's selfish and everyone deserves amazing hair and someone that cares. I came to Lana in my balayage era (that was terribly done elsewhere) and she unfortunately and fortunately had to revive it. She's done numerous reshapes to my hair and has helped me discover what cut I feel confident in. Now I have to see Lana within 4-7 months or else my hair shape is just nonexistent and then I want to make irrational decisions. I also love that Aria Beauty isn't pushy about products, they talk about products they stand by, even if it's not something they carry. I think that's amazing customer service! Vance and Lana are also just a vibe and it's like catching up with old friends which makes my heart happy. read more

Aria Beauty Bar - 2025: goal was to full reset to natural hair, I still wanted lots of layers and curtain bangs. Lana does it again - Eyelash Service Near Me - Burlingame, California

Absolutely cannot stress enough how much I love seeing Vance and Lana! They took what was a hair disaster from another local salon and gave me the hair color and hair of my dreams. Vance has been doing my color and Lana has been the guru behind the extensions. They are a dynamic duo and if anyone asks where I get my hair done I do not hesitate to share! read more

Lana is the only person I would trust to do my hair. EVER! (other than Vance, if Lana is not available). Every time I get my hair done I never quite know what I want... Lana does an amazing job at taking my reference photos and turning them into real life masterpieces. I always feel so beautiful when I leave, and my hair somehow always feels healthier than when I came in (which is saying a lot since I bleach it all the time). Lana clearly has a true talent for hair and a deep understanding of hair coloring- and there is never a shortage of laughter whenever she is doing my hair. read more

I can't say enough good things about Lana as a hair stylist! I went to her earlier this year in search of a vibrant, fashion tone red. My hair was not in the best shape going into our initial consultation-- I had bands of different growth and color on my hair. During our consultation, Lana was super patient and worked collaboratively with me to come up with a game plan to achieve that vibrant red color of my dreams. I was so happy with the color we achieved and also the haircut during that first appointment! I've had about 4 services with her since then, and I've been so happy with them. Her skill and attention to detail makes every visit a pleasure. I also love how she styles my hair during blowouts and she's very open to sharing what products she uses to achieve those results. With her help and advice, I've been able to master my at-home hair styling routine, which is such a win for me personally. My hair integrity is also in very good shape, even with lifting my hair. I credit that to good technique from Lana and also effective at-home washing instructions/products recommended by Lana as well. Vance is also wonderful and the two of them make such a fun salon environment. I can't say enough good things-- If you're looking for a stylist who is compassionate and not afraid of fun, fashion tone colors, Lana would be a fantastic choice! Parking is also available all around the salon, and the stylists are very accommodating if you need to get up and refill your meter. read more

Aria Beauty Bar - My hair after our first appointment! - Eyelash Service Near Me - Burlingame, California

Lana is the ONLY person I trust with my cuts - and I'm incredibly particular about my hair. She consistently brings my vision to life, often exceeding the inspo photos I bring in. Since I started seeing her, the health of my hair has improved dramatically. I always look forward to my appointments and watching her work her magic! read more

I've been coming to Aria for about a year now and I absolutely adore Lana! When I first came in, I was noticing that my stick straight Asian hair was starting to become frizzy. She and Vance were super helpful, did a quick analysis of my hair, and explained that my hair texture was changing -- turns out I have wavy hair now! Lana has been helping me navigate my hair ever since. Her cuts are amazing and make it easy for me to style daily. I've recommended her to multiple friends. Lana is super friendly and whenever I visit it feels like catching up with an old friend. read more

I genuinely don't remember the last time I liked a haircut - until I finally went to Lana!! She did an incredible job and gave me the coolest cut. Lana is so friendly and easy to talk to, and I am so glad I have found someone I can trust with my hair. read more

Ilana saved my hair!! My hair was in rough shape when I came to her, and she completely turned it around. She didn't just fix it -- she elevated it. You can tell haircutting is her specialty by the way she works with precision and confidence. She listens, she cares, and she knows what she's doing. If you need a fresh cut, a rescue job, or just someone who truly gets hair -- she's the one. read more

Had my first cut and color appointment at Aria with Lana and it certainly won't be my last. She was a dream! I came in with a combination of reference pictures and she pulled everything together so beautifully while taking the time to explain her process along the way. She was even able to ease my nerves about getting bangs for the first time and left me with helpful styling tips and product recommendations when I asked. Both Vance and Lana made the salon a fun and easygoing environment and I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Vance transformed my hair from jet black to golden blonde while keeping it healthy. On top of that, I got some awesome product recommendations from Vance and a super easy blowout tutorial from Lana. They're both amazing--highly recommend checking them out! read more

I found Lana on Instagram and I'm so glad I did! I feel like she's the only hairstylist I've had that understands my kinda curly, kinda wavy hair, and gives me haircuts that are super flattering and fun for my hair texture. The salon has a casual cool vibe. Would recommend! read more

Vance and Lana never miss on my hair. I used to fly regularly to Seattle (hometown) because I had a hard time letting go of my previous hair stylist. Ive done all over color, balayage, baby lights, and hair cuts with Vance. My hair is healthy and always comes out so cute. So thankful to have found them! The salon is always playing good music, and I love just chatting with them and the vibe they create. Vance is also a long hair loyalist so I never worry if my hair will be too short... a trim is always a trim! read more

I've gone to Lana I think 3x now. I'm a little OCD with cuts/colors (balayage/blonde) and whenever I need an adjustment made she's been very helpful. She also gives great layered cuts that support my wavy hair but still maintains fullness and length as I have long hair. She doesn't rush the process so your hair can have minimal damage and makes sure you're educated on what you're asking for and aftercare. I will continue to go to her because it's hard to find a stylist you like and that understands your hair! read more

My sister and I absolutely love Lana! Shes amazing at handling all sorts of hair textures and styles. Shes awesome at bangs and layering. Salon itself is cute with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Love seeing the pups! read more

I have been coming to Aria Beauty Bar for almost two years and I cannot imagine going anywhere else for a balayage, tone or cut!!! Lana and Vance are so knowledgeable about color and have always given me not only the best service but super helpful advice on maintaining the color and integrity of my hair. Vance has done the most beautiful natural toned balayage on me while Lana has worked some brighter, more vivid tones in my hair - I've loved both styles equally and it's so fun to be able to place my trust in such skilled and talented professionals who know exactly what they're doing. I also love going to Lana for my shag cuts. I can't recommend them enough!! read more

I had a hair cut with Lana and love the cut! She is friendly and the vibe is great! I would recommend Aria Beauty Bar and Lana!

Su at Nabi Salon is my go-to for my hair, so when she opened Aria Beauty Bar, I knew I needed to give it a try. While I was still taking a break from lash extensions, I decided to go for a lash lift and tint. Teri was very professional and friendly throughout my session. She was very detailed in explaining which curl and perm size would best suit my natural lashes. She has provided very helpful advice on maintaining my lash health as my perm grew out over the next 6-8 weeks. I could not speak highly enough of Teri (and the rest of the staff here). read more

I have gotten a cut and balayage from both Vance and Lana in the last year, and both of them did an awesome job especially with getting the color just right. I have dark, thick hair, and I have had trouble finding someone who can get both the cut and color to my liking until now! Vance also recommended new haircare products and my hair has never felt better. read more

Yayyyy so so so happy I found a great stylist to cut my hair. Got my hair cut by Vance and he took my thoughts into consideration but also added his own flair. Which I was hesitant to trust but I'm glad I did. He styled my hair curled after my hair cut and said if I needed more cut off to come back. After I wore it a couple days I took him up on the offer and he took some more off with exactly what I wanted. Will def be back and might have to also ask Lana to play with my hair with some color :). Thanks so much!!! read more

My new favorite place for all things beauty. I recently got my hair done by Vance and absolutely loved how it turned out! A few days later, I booked an appointment for a facial and eyebrow wax with Teri. Teri went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and personalized my facial specific to my skin concerns. I came out with glowing skin and perfectly shaped eyebrows. All their services are so worth it for the major boost in confidence at the end. Im so grateful to find a place that's close to home and has everything I need. I will definitely be coming back! read more

FINALLY, a beauty bar that has it all in one location.  Teri at Aria Beauty Bar is an amazing esthetician.  I booked with Teri for a facial and eyebrow wax... I am so happy with the results.  Not only is Teri an experienced professional, but she is also kind and patient.  You can tell she takes her job very seriously.  Before my facial, Teri and I talked about my skin so she could tailor the facial to my needs.  Teri also explained to me what she thought would be best for my skin.  Leaving my facial, I felt like my skin was glowing and my skin felt hydrated and so much healthier.  It's been almost a week since my facial, and my skin continues to have a healthy glow. For my eyebrow wax, Teri took her time asking me questions about my brows and shape.  She wanted to make sure that I kept my shape and thickness.  Teri's gentle approach made my wax experience easy and painless.  I appreciate Teri's attention to detail.  I am beyond thrilled with my skin and brows.  I already booked a follow-up appointment.  Aria Beauty Bar also offers lash services, so I booked a full set with Jazzy and my appointment was a few days ago.  Short and sweet, I am obsessed with the results. I love that I am not going from location to location for all my services.  Aria Beauty Bar has it all under one roof and everyone at the beauty bar is amazing.  I can't wait for them to add nail services so I can legitimately go to one place for all my needs. read more

I love this place! I got the classic lash extensions, lip wax, and brow lamination w/tint. Jasmine provided all of these services and I'm very happy with the quality of her work--she made by lashes look so full and fluttery. They still looked pretty good when I came back 3 weeks later for a fill. Jasmine is very good about educating you on how to care for your lashes to make them last. She also turned me on to brow lamination. My brows now look nice and thick, almost like I drew them in but it's all my own brows. My lip wax was quick and painless. She was even able to get all the tiny hairs. This is now my go-to place for beauty services! The place is comfy and clean with very cute decor. Everyone there is very nice, professional, and accommodating. I like the neighborhood too. read more

Loved the haircut Lana gave me. She listens when you tell her you need a low maintenance haircut cause you're a mom who has to wash and go. A month later, she and her mentor Vance gave me a beautiful medium ash toned balayage. She was very kind and informative through the long process. I felt very comfortable with the care and attention I received. I'm coming back to touch it up with confidence! Thanks guys. read more

Aria Beauty Bar - Medium ash balayage - Eyelash Service Near Me - Burlingame, California

sadly I did not have the best experience here. there was no product / heat protection put in my hair before blow dry and didn't ask how i wanted my hair style so i had to go home and curl my hair myself after paying $90 for a cut and my hair was so dry. Im disappointed read more

Vance is hands down the BEST stylist. I've been going to him for a few years now for balayage and cut and will never go to anyone else!!! He is honest, patient, extremely detail oriented, and ensures you leave the studio looking your absolute best. At this point, I go into the studio and just tell him to do whatever he thinks. I've always loved the outcome. Additionally, when my mom had a botched haircut on the east coast, Vance gave her a cut and color that made her look 10 years younger. He's a true magician. Also shoutout to Lana who is also just as amazing!!! read more

Loved the bob that Lana cut for me! Appreciated her attention to detail. The salon also had friendly vibe. Will be back next time!

I just need to say one word..RADIANT!!! Terry gave me an amazing facial with LED light today and I'm glowing . Thank you and can't wait to check out all the other services at Aria read more

I hardly ever write reviews, but I felt that Teri definitely deserves a glowing review (similar to how my skin was feeling after my first facial!). Teri was a wonderful esthetician to work with, and I would highly recommend her. She was able to walk me through the process, provided great feedback on my skin and areas to work on. She kept me feeling comfortable through the entire appointment. My skin is definitely feeling its best, and I have already signed up for recurring appointments to better maintain the health of my skin (and to be professionally pampered). If you are on the fence, just do yourself a favor and see Teri! read more

After going two years without a facial (thanks, COVID), my skin NEEDED some TLC. I went to Aria Beauty Bar on Friday, and I treated myself to a facial with LED lighting. The esthetician, Teri, is super knowledgeable and professional. My skin feels rejuvenated and hydrated! I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

I got my very first facial from here by Teri, and couldn't have had a better experience. She walked me through the process and we discussed my skincare goals and how to achieve them. I have very sensitive skin so I was a little worried, but Teri was great! I've rebooked already for my next facial and can't wait to see my skin improve. read more

HUGE SHOUT OUT TO VANCE!!!! I have struggled with my hair for as long as I can remember, I am in my 30s and have never really known what to do with my thin, fine and curly hair! I was wearing it up in a bun 90% of the time and whenever I TRIED to do my hair, I always hated how it looked. I went into Vance after reading some reviews about him and WOW I have never felt so confident with my hair! He totally tailored the haircut to MY HAIR (how it grows, where it is thinner, the way it curls differently in different spots, etc). I am blown away and SO HAPPY with my new haircut! He suggested I cut off quite a bit, which I was not thrilled about, but I have no regrets. I can rock my natural curls and barely do anything to it and I LOVE how sassy and cute it looks! I cannot thank you enough Vance!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping to bring my confidence back!!! read more

I looked for and tried several salons in Burlingame since the pandemic hit. I wanted to find a local salon instead of my favorite stylist in San Francisco. I'm happy to have found this salon. Courtney did my hair for haircut and hair color. Her skills were exceptional and impressive. I'll work with her again. read more

Terry is amazing, I've had multiple lash lifts and a facial. No one has ever been able to get my long, straight eye lashes curled and she did!! I am so happy with the results. Facial...total relaxation and cleaning. Came out glowing! read more

Facial with LED and face is glowing! Teri took an individualized approach and made sure to listen to all my concerns. She is extremely knowledgeable and such a gentle touch. This is not like other facials where they will leave you while the steam is going. You are attended to and spoiled the entire duration !!!! Also got an eyebrow and lip wax - not sure what she used but it was so painless and the shape she knew exactly what to do. Plan on going back for their henna brows. Wonderful addition !!!! read more

Ladies, after wearing sweatpants and doing zero self care for nearly two years (except for binge eating - does that count as self care?), I'm ready to get back on the beauty bandwagon. I had heard about this place opening, connected to the well established Nabi Salon next door, and was curious. I decided to try a Signature Facial with an under eye add on and the LED treatment add on. When I entered the facial room I'll admit it was a little on the small side, but the ambiance of lighting and music made it really relaxing and "spa" feeling. I explained to the esthetician, Teri, that I really wanted to focus on extractions. Blackheads are the bane of my existence and facials are really the one thing that help me. Teri did an AMAZING job. Seriously, not only did she make my pores shrink significantly, but my skin is just GLOWING. Teri is also really knowledgeable and she gave me tips on my skin care regimen and explained what the treatments do when I asked. The LED treatment was new to me but I'd heard a lot about it. I feel like it added an extra kick to the facial. I'd say most of all the under eye treatment was worth every penny, as my under eye area is usually sooo tired looking (I have 3 small children!). After the treatment I am finding that lately I don't even need make up, my under eye area looks hydrated and I look soo much more well rested and glowing. Teri is amazing and I plan to return for another facial soon! read more

I booked a facial at the beauty bar when it first opened, and Teri did an excellent job. She explained every product and process that was part of the facial. It was such a relaxing experience that I booked another future appointment right away. I also treated my husband to a facial at Aria Beauty Bar for his birthday and he absolutely loved it too. Would highly recommend. read more

I don't usually get facials but when I do, I'll be getting them at Aria Beauty Bar. The treatment room was very zen-like and Teri was knowledgeable, friendly yet professional. The Signature Facial and LED treatment left my face and neck clean, refreshed and hyper-moisturized. Looking forward to my next appointment. read more
