Vanity Lounge

So I ordered hair from here and it wasn’t my first time so I didn’t think twice about where to go. My order was placed on ³⁄₂₈ and I got a msg from someone at the company they wanted to apologize for the delay and stated they would overnight the order. I was fine with that because it was on the way. When I got the confirmation it was sent 2 day air not over night no big deal. When I got the package the sizes were not what I ordered one was way longer. I ordered specific sizes because I didn’t want to cut it cause it makes it hard to reuse. I message the same email and no response. I’m not one to complain but when I pay my $ 230 I expect to get what I ask for.

Impressed is a understatement. Yesterday was my first (of many) sessions with Charita. As a new client you need a level of trust — before she started she asked the right questions (history, preference, etc). The salon décor was beautiful and the salon was clean and comfortable.

Charita does phenomenal hair! I started going to her in December, and I’m satisfied every time. All the ladies do great hair, have excellent customer service, and the shop is always clean. Whether you want a weave, natural, or fly short cut Vanity Lounge Hair is that place!

The absolute best!!! Every time I get my hair done I am in love rather it’s color, a weave, or just a wash and style. Almost all my friends and family go to Taya and get our hair done and we all love it every time.

Silver has done my hair for many years ! Long to short … Whatever it is I’m always satisfied. My hair is very thick and curly, I have been to other hair stylist and no one has gotten my hair bone straight besides her, which I love. I highly recommend EVERYONE to call her an book an appointment. (510) 447‑3080 She is very reasonable with her prices and I promise you would leave loving your hair. Thank you SILVER :)

Screaming from the rooftop how happy I am with my 10 year old daughter’s hair! I called last minute to get an appointment and Silver was able to accommodate my needed hours. We were in and out of the salon in time to make it to my appointment. My daughter has very thick hair that is hard to work with and she did an amazing job! I even tipped her and I don’t tip unless the service is worth it. My daughter was so excited to show her hairstyle to her friends today at school. I usually have it in braids but decided to let her wear it down for a week. Silver is fast AND the prices were reasonable. WIN, WIN! I will be back at the end of the month for myself.

Can’t rave about Silver enough! Having a short cut, being natural and having a THICK mane, it’s not often you find a stylist that can effortlessly maintain all three (without complaining lol). She does just that, quick and reasonably priced #obsessed #silverbulletstandard #shesovain

I am SUPER picky especially when it comes to my daughter and her hair. We have tried family and friends and nothing has been right. Bottom line some people do what they want with your hair.
We made an appointment with Jess, based on the Unilocal reviews she seemed to be the best in the Vanity Lounge Shop. My daughter’s 18^th birthday was closely approaching and we had contacted multiple stylist, although Jess was one of the highest in pricing, the end result showed you get what you pay for.
Jess was on time and professional. The shop is all white and silver which is adorable and the ladies keep it clean. Not a lot of loud obnoxious gossip and chatter which was wonderful. I felt comfortable leaving my daughter alone for her appointment.
The only complaint which isn’t really a complaint was that she braided her hair tight. But isn’t that what you want when getting a weave installed. We will definitely be going back!
Thank you Jess for making my daughters 18^th birthday begin smoothly.

Minuses: prices are steep, but culturally, I’m used to $ 75 less; deep condition and hair trim are not included in the service so total hair care does not seem to be a part of the salon’s «mission».
Pluses (experiences with stylist Taya): started on time; trimmed weave for a natural look, lace front closure looked realistic; overall installation was tight; sew-​in lasted two months, remaining fresh and appealing; hair was installed for easy removal that did not pull out or break my hair.
Usually makes great time but may take a «quick» client in the middle of your appointment. Nothing major, but some people like to know that sort of thing.

Over the last year I have been searching for a new stylist and my search stop the moment I walked into this salon. Taya is amazing. She is kind, very detailed with her work, and the shop is very clean and welcoming. Everyone who works here is obviously nothing but amazing you can see they value their craft and truly love what they do and that speaks volumes. Taya, thank you for making me feel beautiful every time I leave!!!

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.

This was my first time going there and everyone was really nice and welcoming. I got a little confused since there were no signs outside for the business, but I called them and they told me which one. I think it was 808, but you should call to make sure. I wanted to get my hair cut really short, and Charita did a great job! She understood what I wanted when I described the length, and she was very detailed. She was really nice, and gave me a lot of suggestions on products I can use.

This was my first time back in a hair salon in I don’t know forever. I was really skeptical at first being that I have had numbers of so called «professional» do my hair and turned out to be horrific hair experiences. However; after talking to Jess and explaining long term what I want regarding my hair I felt at ease. Jess made my 1^st time back experience amazing and my hair is flawless. Love love love her professionalism and also her recommendations moving forward with my hair. I will be definitely going to Jess from here on out for ALL my hair care needs.

Taya did an amazing job with my hair and the salon experience was relaxing and enjoyable. The prices are affordable and you’ll leaving feeling amazing! She clearly listens to your wants and needs and provides a finished look.

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!

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 ½– 3 hrs to complete. I’m pretty sure I found my new stylist.

I wanted to try a new stylist for my graduation pictures and came across Vanity Lounge on Unilocal.I decided to give the salon a try because of it’s great reviews. Jessica was my stylist and did an AMAZING job on my hair. She was very professional, paid attention to detail, and did my hair exactly like I wanted it. My hair came out gorgeous, and I have been getting compliments for days.
The shop is located near 4^th Street in Berkeley. This was a perk for me because I walked to MAC to get my make-​up done for my pictures after my hair appointment.
Overall I had a great experience at Vanity Lounge and will be coming back for more services.

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.

First off let me say I am disappointed in the lack of good stylist in the Bay Area!
I found Jessica here on Unilocal.After reading reviews, and checking out a few photos I decided that I would take the chance of having her work on my hair which was in dire need of some TLC. She was friendly and professional over the phone.
I arrive at Vanity. It’s located in a really nice neighborhood in Berkeley which is surrounded by other cute shops. Jessica was on time, which was awesome! I walk into her shop which is so freaking cute, really sassy, and girly. Jessica got started on me right away.
We talked, and she made me feel right at home. And she did an amazing job on my hair and she took her time. I am happy to say I found my new stylist! Thank You Jessica… I see why you have 5 star reviews!!!

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 café 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 décor. 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!!!
