My experience cannot be summed up in words. Up until now I have tried numerous salons and hairdressers. Due to my experiences thus far, I've learned to unfortunately not expect much. My hair is fine and is in the process of growing out. Needles to say, a decent color was more then I had hoped for before going to lounge hair studio and meeting Lance. I have never been more happier with my hair! For the first time in a long time, I LOVE my hair! Even at this stage where I never though I would have any options. I have never gone to a hairdresser who is more experienced, dedicated, caring enthusiastic, and just amazing as Lance! He will go above and beyond to make sure that you are more than happy with the end result.If you want hair (cut or color) that you never though would be possible, You need to see Lance! Just the next day after Lance had done my hair, people were asking me who this hairdresser was and said they need to have his number. I've been going to hairdresser for maybe 15 years. But what you will get with Lance, trust me.... it's very hard to find! You will not be disappointed, I promise you this. Once you've gone to Lance, you'll wonder how in the world you have ever gone without having him in your life. Thank you again Lance for such an amazing job! I will defiantly be seeing you again in a few months!! read more

I have been going to The Lounge Hair Studio for a number of years, and would never go anywhere else. The quality of styling and colouring is beyond exceptional. Many times due to my own scheduling difficulties I have had to jump around to different stylists. I can say with 100% confidence that I would trust every single stylist in that salon with my hair. They keep a file on you with all your colour information so that no matter who does your hair the exact formula is written down and updated after each visit. Every single employee from the front desk clerk to the owner works in the salon and are some of the friendliest and professional people I have ever met. They love their job and share this love with their customers. Pricing is very reasonable. You have award winning international stylists working on your hair and you do not have to save up a fortune just to go. They even offer customer appreciation discounts such as a referral discount. This is not your typical salon where stylists rent chairs and keep their own clients. It is a family and they welcome you in to their family when you arrive. read more

this review has been a long time coming. i can barely remember how long i have been going to the lounge. not only is it my favorite salon, kelly, queen of cuts and color and coiffé too (that could be french for styling) who has been doing my hair for many years is my very favorite hair-stylist e-v-e-r !!! sorry sis, you were great too, but kelly is a hair-goddess deserving of ten stars (but yelp only gave me five. sorry, kelly, i'll bring you the other five on my next visit. promise.) true story: people did not use to complement me on my hair cuts or dos (and certainly not on my hair don'ts), but whenever kelly does my hair i get tons of compliments. every time. thank you kelly -- of course, now you know that you can never retire for as long as i shall live (lucky for you i'm a few years older than you are). seriously people, you'll never get a better cut or color or coiffure (i know that's french for hair style) and kelly is sweet too and considerate and funny and charming and... okay i'll stop right there. don't want her to hike her price when she reads how much she means to me. read more

If you're questioning your curls, then Jacob has ALL the answers. My hair is unbelievably unruly. I told Jacob what is important to me: less time spent on my hair, less fuss, ability to still get it into a ponytail and still be cute. This man worked a miracle, I tell you. Not only did I get exactly what I wanted, I had incredible customer service. My free consultation was informative and pressure-free and Jacob offered to stay later so that we had time to really get my hair where I wanted it to be. Jacob really listened to what I wanted! The price was very reasonable and I couldn't be happier with my hair. Not only does it look great, I learned a lot about the health of my hair and Jacob gave me some tips for day to day care. The woman who welcomed me to the salon was lovely as was the young man who massaged (washed) my hair. Overall, a spectacular experience. THANK YOU LOUNGE HAIR STUDIO. read more

A friend recommended Jacob Rozenberg after I had just gone from waist-length hair to a good technical short cut, but not what I has asked for. The most important thing to me was that Jacob listened to what I wanted, and not only made it possible, but better than I had imagined. On my way out from that first cut, two women stopped me independently, asked me to twirl around, and told me how much better I looked than when I walked in, lol! I love my hair now. Jacob is not only an incredible stylist, but he is also a mensch. Everyone I've encountered at the salon is professional and welcoming. I look at the results around me, and I am awestruck by the consistently great quality and creativity and how the cuts/colorings are so personalized. People walk out looking their own best. read more

I have been Martin's client for over eleven years. I have problematic hair...fine, thin...and I have been pleased with my haircuts and colour from day one. Last Saturday after my regular appointment with Martin, I stopped in at Safeway to pick up a couple of items. A woman tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if I would mind telling her where I get my hair cut. I told her that I go to the Lounge Hair Studio and she raved about how beautiful my hair was...that the cut was just so well done, etc. She made my day!...friends and family feel obligated to compliment you but a total stranger on the street? (or in this case, in Safeway)...it's genuine! I highly recommend the Lounge...all of the staff is friendly and seem to take time with their clients to find out their needs! read more

I was a long-time client of Phillip Wilsons's during the 1980s and so was delighted to learn that his son Ross was now apprenticing at The Lounge. Ross is certainly a 'chip off the old block' and will, I'm sure, be an amazing stylist just like his dad. Ross is very committed and dedicated to learning his craft and certainly has that flair that will make him very successful in the future. He also has an easy charm and great sense of humour and fun which, in combination with his other attributes, makes the whole experience of having your hair cut by Ross - memorable. Even though, at the moment he's a Junior Stylist, I was very happy to have him style and cut my hair and I loved it ....and would definitely highly recommend him. read more

I have been a client of Martin Hillier's for the past twenty plus years. Martin is a Master technician. His skill outperforms any stylist I have seen in the past, both locally and internationally. I would highly recommend Martin to anyone who is particular about hair colour. His deft skill and expertise exceeds expectation and I recommend him highly to anyone who is as fussy and challenging as I am. His partner Lance is equally as talented and provides a friendly, relaxed approach which puts you at ease the moment you walk into the salon. The Lounge is by far the best salon i.e. services and talented, professional staff that I have been in. I highly recommend them and commend the level of service they provide their clients. read more

I am a relatively new customer, having formerly been a client at a high end salon on South Granville. Konrad and the Lounge are professional. The Salon is conveniently located in Yaletown. The staff are friendly and efficient. I have never been kept waiting and my cuts are exactly what I want. I have had some of the citty's best stylists in the past, but this place is my choice. I also appreciate their eco-friendly approach. Go to this place if you want un-pretentious and down to earth service in a place that has a great magazine selection and free coffee/tea while you wait. Only problem is you never have to wait and therefore don't get the time to read the magazine! read more

Ross Wilson will be an exceptional addition to the brilliant staff at the Lounge! The genetic thread runs deep as the son of Phillip Wilson, Ross Wilson has his own style and flair but has inherited the artistic genius that runs in the Wilsons. His natural talent and ability is without question and his attention to detail a valuable quality. Ross' compassion and empathy to others is an attribute in the 'people' business. He will be sure to listen and hear what clients want and do his very best to comply. His sense of humour always makes the experience of being in his company a relaxing fun time. He may be just starting his carreer but is on the road to much success. read more

My experience at the Lounge has been fantastic! From the warm welcome to the professional care with my hair cut/colour. My stylist and colour expert is Conrad. His first priority is to listen to what I want as it pertains to my hair colour and cut and then delivering above expectations. He is professional, charistmatic and makes you feel like you are his only client. My hair is not easy to manage (frizzy) and Conrad makes me look great! Love my hair colour and cut! Not to mention the BEST head massage :) It's so great that I have Conrad as my stylist after searching for so long! Sabrina read more

I have been going to The Lounge for over a decade and have been to many ot their stylists, most of whom are still there! I currently see Iris for hilights and cut and she is an excellent colourist... i'm giving myself away here by posting that I colour my hair, because it is done so well it is hard to tell! They are friendly, always offer a coffee, tea or glass of wine, and give a great scalp massage when they wash your hair. Iris always does exactly what I ask and I have NEVER had a bad cut or colour there with her, or with any of the other sylists. I highly recommend this shop! read more

I happened across The Lounge as I live around the corner, so I have walked past it many times. When my previous hair stylist moved back to France, I decided to pop in and asked for a recommendation of someone who is experienced with blonde balayage/hilights. They booked me in with Carolyn, and I feel so grateful to have found her! She's amazing with colour and cuts, and she's also really sweet and nice to have a chat with. The environment itself is the most relaxing salon I have ever been to - and they have up to date magazines and nice coffee too! All round great experience!! read more

I have been through many salons and stylists in my day. The Lounge Hair Studio and Kelly B are the top of my list. The overall salon is well maintained, everyone is courteous, your always greeted and always offered water, tea, coffee, wine... Kelly is a gifted stylist. She's helped me grow my hair from a few inches to down between my shoulder blades and managed to keep my hair looking stylish and attractive even through the awkward stages. She has a great sense of style and humour and will always be honest if you ask for something ridiculous. read more

I've been going to Jacob at Lounge since last year, and he really is as good as it gets! He was recommended to me by a dear friend, and she is an even dearer friend now for sending me to such a great hairdresser! Jacob has handled my challenging curly hair with great skill and has given me such great colour treatments that total strangers stop me in the street to tell me how much they love my hair! God's truth. I've never had that happen to me before. Jacob: you'd better stay in Vancouver for a long time: we can't live without you! read more

A friend recommended Konrad to me and he has been cutting and colouring my hair for over a year. He has been helping me grow my hair out and always listens to exactly what I want. I am constantly getting compliments on my colour. He definitely knows what he's doing and you can always trust him to make you look great! He is also a ton of fun to chat with while getting your hair done! I always look forward to seeing Konrad. As well, you can count on an amazing head massage!!! Always a great experience and very highly recommended!!!!!! read more

Well where do I start!! Kelly has been doing my hair for about 10 years now. I do not trust anyone else, although Jakob colored my hair once and it was fantastic! I have had more compliments on my hair in these years, I now have stopped counting them. This was not occurrence before Kelly, at all! When I get my hair done, all I can do is smile and think I look great! The Lounge Hair Studio is a place that you can relax, put your feet up, have great conversations while all the more looking your greatest when you leave! read more

I've been getting my hair cut with Iris for a very long time. I go to her because she's always friendly but most importantly she's got the skills to pay the bills. My hair is not conventional in the least--I've had previous experiences at other salons that prove this theory as my hair (Asian) can come out looking horrible when placed in the wrong hands especially as it grows out. Thankfully, Iris always keeps me looking stylish and looking good helps me reflect on feeling good. Thanks Iris! And thanks Lounge! read more

for us, The Lounge is a family affair. We all visit Jacob regularly and find both him and his fellow "loungers" to be most welcoming and hospitable. Jacob is a divine young man: talented, inspired and possessing that wonderful combination of being gentle- natured but able to speak his mind. He has patiently steered me through each hair phase and continues to educate me into dealing with the frizz and curls! One word of caution- book well in advance as there are many of us Jacob fans out there! read more
