    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.

    Fresh do!!

    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

    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

    I went here to have my face waxed - did my brows - chin - neck and upper lip and Mina was amazing…read more She had a good firm touch and was quick about it. Nice and fast and firm. She uses excellent quality wax (I can tell as my skin had no reaction to it) and she is extremely nice and kind. I really enjoyed my time with her. I will be trying her facial services as well.

    I have never experienced something this unprofessional during a service, especially one as intimate…read moreas a Brazilian wax. This was my first Brazilian, and instead of creating a calm, supportive environment, Meena became visibly agitated and began loudly ranting about political issues related to her home country, then she began yelling. Her tone escalated to the point where it felt aggressive. I was lying exposed on the table during this. I expressed that I was uncomfortable, and I had to be the one to regulate her emotions, while she stopped speaking so loudly and intensely, the energy in the room shifted in a way that felt tense and hostile for the remainder of the appointment. A Brazilian wax requires a high level of trust. Clients are physically vulnerable and often anxious, especially the first time. Emotional regulation and professionalism are not optional in that setting. At the end of the service, while I was still in a vulnerable state, she took out her phone and began showing me graphic videos, including footage of people being killed. Being shown violent content during a waxing appointment is completely inappropriate and deeply distressing. I did not consent to being exposed to graphic material, and it was extremely uncomfortable. I was also given zero aftercare instructions despite clearly stating this was my first Brazilian. No guidance about heat exposure, friction, exfoliation timing, or what to expect post-wax. Within 24 hours, I developed significant redness across the area. Without aftercare direction, I was left anxious about whether this reaction was normal. This experience felt emotionally unsafe and lacked basic professional boundaries. A service that intimate should feel calm, respectful, and supportive -- not tense, aggressive, and unpredictable. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because clients deserve safety and professionalism in spaces like this

She talked me through the entire process, made me feel completely comfortable, and clearly has a passion for what she does. Not only did she match my brows perfectly, but she also made the tinting and threading experience feel safe, quick, and supported. Threading can be painful, but Jasmine's encouragement and nurturing energy made all the difference. Plus--she smells amazing, which somehow made the whole thing even more pleasant! Highly recommend this spot, and especially Jasmine. She's a brow magician and a total gem. Will definitely be back!
