    I wanted to try a new stylist to get a precision layered full weave. I found the Vanity Lounge after doing a little research. I really liked the location because it was extremely close to the freeway and my job. Parking was easy to find on the street. Added, plus is there is a cafe in the same building to grab a quick bit to eat. I walked into the Vanity Lounge and was welcomed by Jessica. Lounge had a very cute decor. Very Girly. Jessica is very friendly and approachable. Jessica did a wonderful job on my hair. I brought a picture of a hairstyle I liked but Jessica did my hair better than the picture. What I really appreciated was she stopped during my weave install and asked if I like my hair or if she needed to change anything. Boy...I wasn't use to that because my prior stylist would have to wait until my hair was fully installed to make any changes. My hairstyle lasted the entire weekend where I received many compliments from my Family and Friends. Of course I just handed them Jessica's Business Cards. I definitely will be back!!! A.V.

    Luscious locks.  Thank you Taya!

    I don't even know where to begin! This cozy salon is truly a hidden gem in the Bay Area. Conveniently located in Berekley this salon is the place to go for all of your hair needs. Whether you need a weave, custom color, wash or flat iron they do it all! Owners Taya and Jess are professional and friendly. Forgive me but I can't remember the other stylist's name but word around down is she's a double threat as she does hair and full face makeup! You gotta love a one stop shop. I made an appointment for a Friday evening for a full weave. The place was rolling but upon arrival I was greeted and introduce to Taya's assistant. I was immediately taken to shampoo bowl and after got blow dryed while waiting for my turn in Taya's chair. Her assistant does a wonderful job shampooing and her massage gave me life! I'm definitely going to be a regular. I got Malaysian hair installed that blends wonderfully with my natural hair and I absolutely love it! Vanity Lounge also sells 100% virgin hair and I must say the quality is the best. I've had the same hair installed 4 times over a two year period. It's pricy but definitely an investment that's worth every dime.

    Full sew in with hair left out. 2 1/2-3 hours start to finish.Jessica rocks!

    Jessica really came through for me when my previous stylist became unresponsive. There appeared to be a lack of online presence for black stylist in the bay,that truly displayed the intricacies of our styles... and then came VANITY LOUNGE! I recommend visiting their instagram for more photos.The salon was clean,quaint and quiet. $175 for a full sew in with hair left out at the top. 2 1/2- 3 hrs to complete.I'm pretty sure I found my new stylist.

    Jessica did my install and color on my Brazilian wave :)

    This review is way overdue but Jessica has done my hair many times when I lived in the bay. Such a sweet girl and does an amazing job! I even had her install my hair for my destination wedding

    Fresh do!!

    Love Jess!!! She is beyond AMAZING!!! Been to her a few times now and she has yet to fail me. I will NEVER let anyone touch my hair but her!! Love, love, love her & her work!! I drive and hour and a half just to get my hair done because she is by far the BEST!

    I love going to Taya at Vanity Lounge to get my custom color and extensions! Regardless of the style I get its always neat and last until I am ready to go back. My hair has grown so much and I love the atmosphere and energy there! Taya always has good customer service and fast work! I'm never in there for hours! It's also in the perfect location to walk around after and shop and eat.

    SILVER did my hair for prom , book an appointment with her (510) 447-3080

    Shymell is amazing!!…read more I briefly used to go here at their old location on Telegraph above the tattoo parlor and the attention to detail/comfort and customer service has not only stayed true since then, but has gotten even better! The entire place looks and smells like a spa. Symone is so kind and her smile is super contagious. I went to EWC across the st. to start the Brazilian process again because it was cheaper but immediately regretted it. I promise you, the prices here are so worth it considering my sensitive skin always leaves feeling calmed and renewed after my wax- something that is so rare at every other waxing place I've gone to EVER. I've never experienced any skin issue during after care or long after the wax since they only use the cleanest ingredients and their estheticians are really skilled. I booked an extended Brazilian about 4ish months ago and randomly got assigned Shymell and I'm so glad I did. She's super gentle and makes me feel so comfortable which is crucial for this type of wax. It feels like we've known each other for so long! She tracks how my skin/hair are doing and is now very knowledgable about my skin/hair profile after only a handful of sessions. Also love that they kept the art on the ceiling- so empowering! I don't usually write a long review or review at all but felt the need to share how awesome this place and Shymell are.

    Amazing experience here, would highly recommend! This place is clean, it's welcoming, and all of…read morethe staff are very knowledgeable! I really appreciate the divine feminine/spiritual vibe throughout the waxing center. I will definitely become a permanent client here . My first Brazilian wax and Vida made it me feel very comfortable. She's the best!!!

    I came here many moons ago when they had a yelp event. I have tried some of their products and by…read morefar one of my favorites will always be the brightening serum. I have now ordered it a couple times, and it's never a fail. I can't wait to try some of their other products and services - and will definitely come back. The vibe is very clean and crisp, and there are several treatments room throughout. Also, the reception area is spacious.

    I booked a 45-min back treatment with Shannon, and the experience could not be even more perfect…read more The spa/clinic was light-filled with minimal aesthetics. Luckily their location was not terrible to find, as there was ample street parking. When I walked in, the warm and friendly receptionist greeted and made me feel right at home. Throughout my visit, Shannon shared me with her wealth of knowledge of the various AHAs as well as retinoid products. I love that we were able to geek out on which products to use to achieve brightening effects. She also made some recommendations based on my skin type such as mandelic acid instead of glycolic acid for gentle exfoliation. Without trying to oversell me her products, she suggested that I try over-the-counter Nizoral antifungal wash for possible white-heads that pop up occasionally as well as prescription tretinoin since I had a few hyperpigmented spots that I wanted to fade/brighten. Given it was my first time there, she did allow me to use my credit card to pay but informed me that she only accepted cash or checks to help keep operating costs down. Since my back issues were minor based on her assessment, I did not schedule a return visit. I so very much appreciate her sound and scientifically backed advice (I also follow various certified dermatologists on IG for general aging skin care maintenance); I definitely will be making a visit if future skin issues arrive!
