Tera is the best! Curly hair cut and revival
Alexandra C.

Tera's the best! My hair was overgrown and too long and dry. Curly hair cut and revival for a healthier length and layers

Khristine C.

I am so happy that I decided to go to this absolute gem of a salon! The bar inside the salon is what ultimately sold me to try this place. Once inside you are greeted by gorgeous crystal chandeliers and a super cute bar. This whole place is just a VIBE. I booked with Jonathan based on the reviews and he is so amazing at his craft! I didn't realize how much of a difference a good haircut makes but after I left Jonathan's chair I seriously felt like a whole new woman. I never understood why people used that line...now I understand the feeling! Needless to say, I think I found my salon. Something about drinking a good cocktail and getting pampered.... Now that's my style!

So much dimension. Full highlights.

I am so happy with how my hair turned out. Robin took his time and was very meticulous with my hair. He did not rush through it and wanted it done right. I very much appreciate that and his quality of work. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair, I definitely made the right decision to go to Beauty Lounge and book my hair appointment with Robin!

I went to this place it was first time going there and I had an amazing experience with Eve! I was nervous at first because i bleached my hair at home and I thought no one would be able to save it and my curls but Eve was able to. She is so kind and an awesome person she is so good at what she does and i'm going to her always for my hair now! Everyone is also kind in there and the place is really classy.

Obsessed with this salon! So cute. Definitely my new "go to" because they have literally all services! I went in recently for cut and color (hair). Let me tell you...Tera is amazing! So glad I found her! For years I have been looking for someone local that I trust with my hair and she came highly referred! She knows what she is doing and is super detailed doing it! I came in with a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it. One thing I really appreciated is that she made sure I loved it before leaving! Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!!

This review is for Tera. She should be on everyone's Christmas List because I am so thankful I ended up in her chair. She is the elite in her craft. The stylist I saw before her, did some unimaginable damage to my hair, so I was in need of finding a stylist that specializes in curly hair. She knew what to do and helped me come up with a plan to get my hair back on track to my natural-self. She literally prescribed me some products and set up a new hair routine to help with moisturizing and hair growth.I wish I took a before picture to show the progress, but I feel so much better and can't wait to be back in a few weeks! Thank you again Tera!! I'm so happy you are back in Walnut Creek, but you should be doing hair for celebrities

Color and highlights to cover gray
Amanda L.

I saw Tera and she was fantastic. She is a true professional and very passionate about her craft. She is also very kind and accommodating. I got a hair cut and highlights to cover gray, I was satisfied but not over the moon and she encouraged me to be completely honest. She insisted we do a redo and got me in within 2 weeks and gave me a toner and low lights. She went above and beyond and wouldn't take additional payment! She said "I guarantee my work". I am sold. Love the look and I can say now I LOVE my hair.

After Tera does her thing!

Tera the literal queen of hair! She has saved my butt so many times from my hair being orange and green due to bad products I used to save money. She is highly educated on many if not all hair styles and will give you the science behind keeping your hair the best it can be. I highly highly recommend Tera! I have been seeing her for over 5 years and she has never let me down and always goes above my expectations!! She has a safe and inclusive chair which makes the experience that much better! Run to the beauty lounge and get on Tera's books!! Instagram - terastyles

Beautiful blonde locks by Karen
Mandi E.

I absolutely love the beauty lounge. I've been going there since they opened and it's always been a great experience. Karen is a great hair colorist and she always keeps my blonde looking good. Mark and Noami are great business owners, and are very welcoming. They also have a fully stocked bar so you can get tipsy while you get your hair did

Beauty Lounge is still the salon I go to after 11 years. Only difference between then and now is that I see Robin and he does my kids' hair too. He is absolutely amazing with color. I have had almost every color under the sun and each one has been fantastic. From the fashion colors to ginger to auburn to a rich brown.

Andrea did some MAGIC on my hair. She is so talented !! Came in talked to her about my vision and she made it come to life! Very knowledgeable about the process and the hair care to come with the extensions. I'm so thankful to have found her and this salon it was a wonderful experience over all. 10/10 recommend I've officially been coming to Andrea for over a year. And here is all the magic she has done

Full Color and Haircut by Robin
Nikki B.

This amazing place just to get beauty done, serves alcohol while you're getting your hair and nails done- where else you can go. The place is beautiful and immaculate. The chandelier are spectacular. The services and products are out of this world. Top of the line including the services of there employees Larry, Camille, Nancy and my favorite is Robin(the best- loved his personality and work) Noemi is the owner of this beautiful place. I recommend this place.

What was explained to me, I was pretty confident that they were really going to do an amazing job with my help. When I got back, I was late for the appointment but they didn't sweat me, since they just got done with the previous customer and needed to set up the station. When my stylist was ready, she was very sweet and really took care of me to make sure I get the cut and style I requested. The vibe of the salon was very personable and easy going. I really enjoyed the time care she put in to working. When she completed my hair, it looked exactly as I wanted. It was like 20 pounds was chopped off my head If you're looking for a good salon that is really proficient with specialty cuts, this is the place to go.

Because I have had bleached hair (as an Asian) for a while, I have visited several hair salons for color and he is definitely the best, has an eye for colors that would pair well with your face, passionate about his craft, and takes a lot of pride in his work. I can't imagine someone being unhappy with the results. He even has a lot of before and after photos in his phone, where you can see a lot of really cool color jobs that he has done, in case you don't believe me. Everyone was very sweet and the salon was nice and clean! I would recommend Sari again!

The space always has such cute decor and they add extra things for holidays. I chose Sabrina for my stylist because her instagram showed beautiful curly cuts and I've always had a difficult time finding someone who can cut my curly hair. Every time I come to Sabrina with a new idea, she's always been supportive, asking clarifying questions and has given me good advice on how my hair will handle whatever I want to do to it. She never pressures me to me do something differently and always makes me feel heard. When I said I wanted to go to purple hair back to blonde she spent extra time making sure every hint of my purple hair was gone and that I'd be happy with the results. I really appreciate Sabrina when she gives me her professional knowledge and helps me learn what is best for my hair.

It saddens me to write this after 2-3 years as a Rare Byrd customer. This review concerns only my…read morestylist, Sabrina Huish, not the salon or its other stylists. For years I enjoyed our conversations and valued Sabrina's experience. But lately she seemed rushed and distracted, sometimes moving on while I was explaining what I wanted. On several occasions, I was double-booked without advance notice. During one appointment, she was enthusiastically working on another client's elaborate, waist-length rainbow color, which she said had taken 6-8 hours. Much of my own service was handed to an assistant, and I felt like an afterthought. Creative color may be her passion, but clients requesting conventional colors and cuts deserve attentive service too. My mother had similar difficulties feeling heard and eventually stopped seeing her. I'd also had several bang trims that were too short, uneven, or unlike the reference photos I'd shown. I began trimming my bangs myself, but continued seeing Sabrina for color and overall cuts, with only occasional bang trims alongside a full haircut rather than at my monthly color touch-ups. Our history made me want to give her the benefit of the doubt. At my latest appointment, I wanted a lighter, more neutral brown and brought ideas about color levels. After color remover, Sabrina said lighter brunettes naturally have warmer tones. I respectfully explained that my natural medium brown hadn't had the reddish warmth I'd noticed since coloring it. She clarified that dyed hair behaves differently. I understood, and said I was happy to wait until another appointment for my preferred shade if that was healthier for my hair, even though I'd hoped to have it done before my birthday celebration the following week. I wanted to discuss a plan together. Instead, I felt increasingly uncomfortable with her annoyed expressions, laughter, and responses that came across as condescending. I'm quiet and dislike confrontation, so asking questions when someone seems irritated takes effort. I tried to stay friendly and assume she was having an off day. When she explained that the shades I'd suggested would be too dark, I thanked her and asked whether a level six would better suit my goal. I appreciated her advice and was happy to follow it. I wasn't challenging her expertise; I simply wanted input into decisions about my own hair. I also asked her to blend my bangs into face-framing layers. They looked fine at first, but at home I saw that one side had been cut much farther back than the other, leaving noticeably uneven thickness and an inconsistent transition into the layers. I politely texted asking if I could stop in the following Tuesday for a correction so my hair would look nice for my birthday. I simply explained the unevenness and asked for a fix. Her lengthy, feelings-focused reply stunned me. Although she offered other days to look at my bangs, she suggested I find another stylist because of my supposed "lack of faith in my professionalism and argumentative nature." She revisited our color discussion, said my questions made her uncomfortable and stressed, and wrote, "I also don't feel it's necessary to have to explain my reasoning for everything I do." What felt especially bizarre was the complete reversal of what I'd experienced. During the appointment, I had felt anxious about asking perfectly reasonable questions because her responses seemed defensive and dismissive. I'd consciously tried to remain respectful and friendly despite feeling uncomfortable, only to receive a message afterward portraying me as the argumentative one who had made her uncomfortable. Her account felt completely at odds with my experience. I'd paid approximately $400 and left my usual full tip despite the tension because I didn't want one uncomfortable appointment to overshadow years of good experiences. I don't expect perfection, and I respect a stylist's professional judgment. In fact, I want that expertise! But clients should be able to ask questions, express preferences, and collaborate with their stylist without being made to feel difficult. A professional consultation shouldn't require blindly agreeing with everything suggested. To be fair, Sabrina did offer alternative dates to correct my bangs. However, after receiving a message criticizing my behavior and explaining how uncomfortable I'd made her, I no longer felt comfortable returning to sit in her chair. What should have been a straightforward correction became an unnecessarily personal and unpleasant situation. After years of loyalty, this was an incredibly disappointing end to the relationship. I left with uneven bangs just before my birthday, and a simple request for help ended a years-long client relationship. I can no longer recommend Sabrina to clients who want to discuss their hair goals. I've retained our complete text exchange and would be happy to share it privately with salon management if they'd like to understand what happened.

They matched me with a stylist and I came in on a particularly cold rainy day. The first issue I noted was that they didn't use heat to process, which my formula calls for. Although I've had other salons use wet heat to treat, using no heat was unusual. Beyond that, I noted the stylist would make comments where the tone sounded friendly, but the words like, "your hair is so long, do you ever cut it," were a bit rude. By the end of the visit it was clear she didn't particularly like me, but my hair looked fine under the lighting, so I tipped well and left. What followed has literally never happened to me in the four years I've gotten full root coverage. The color leeched out of my hair - as in, within a few days, all coverage was gone. I don't know what she used, but after a week it didn't look like I'd gotten my hair done at all - my best guess is that because she didn't use heat, it didn't process correctly. I just don't know. I've sat on this review trying to decide how I feel about it, but I definitely always now confirm my formula has to be processed with heat and I've gone back to my old salon in Berkeley even though it's a bit of a drive.

My first appointment…read morewith him gave me a beautiful result with a mirror shine, but I got caught in the rain right after, so we had to do a retouch. While sitting in the chair for the retouch, he told me he would try his best. Based on the last results, I trusted him completely. During the chemical processing, he pulled too hard on my head while doing stress tests. I had a three-step Hime cut, and he asked if my other stylist who cut it was Asian. He asked where she worked, where she went to school, and if it was a school. I told him I would just send her portfolio info.I explicitly told him that I am terrible with a paddle brush and a blow dryer. Despite knowing this, he still sent me home damp with a wet underside and told me to dry it myself at home. It took me an hour and a half to get home, where I continued to sweat for another 20 minutes. I spent four hours after just trying to get the kinks out of my hair at home because it dried funny.My hair is perfectly straight, but the entire length from the root down is not even close to being as shiny as it was and looks terrible, with a frizzy spot in the back and on the side. In person, the difference is night and day. He got the kinks out, but he also got the blinding shine out. I paid for this service in cash. My halo shine is completely gone from the first treatment, and I was told it's unlikely that it'll come back without major moisturizer all the time forever on those lengths and I'll need rebonding treatments, but it'll never be quite the same again.I am giving three stars down from five because of the retouch. As long as you don't get caught in the rain and need a free retouch, you'll probably be fine. I'm still in shock, I know he said he would try his best, but he didn't guarantee anything either, I trusted him completely. and implicitly While going above and beyond to try and protect the style, even staying up 30 hours so I didn't get creases. At least it didn't melt off. This was my first and last treatment. I don't think I'm going to do this anymore. I am a very patient person, which Billy commented on as well, but I don't quite know how to handle this. I am completely gutted and a little bit heartbroken--that is seven years of my life, and the first thing that I cared about after my illness was getting my hair fixed. I should've left well enough alone, a little flat iron daily, but caveat emptor.
