Olive – The Beauty Lounge

Danielle highlighted my hair and brought it back to that bright blonde that I’ve wanted for so long. So glad I found this salon, I used to drive to Rockwall to get my hair colored. Love love love the vibes of the salon & also the products they use as well.

Went to olive the first time today. I had been going to the same guy for 25 years. I needed a change but didn’t know where to go. I was referred to this place by a coworker. I was scared to try a different place but i called and made an appointment for a full highlight and cut. I was scheduled with Jenni.
I just have to say this place is awesome! Jenni listened to what i wanted and took her time with me. She did an amazing job on my highlights and my haircut. The color was just what i wanted and my haircut was perfect.
The salon is really nice and relaxing. You cant go wrong going to this place. Everyone is so friendly.
It is more expensive than what i usually pay but i feel it is worth it. I will definitely be going back.

New to the area and needed a cut. Stumbled upon Olive — so happy I did! Carrie gave me a wonderful cut (8 inches off!) and styled it perfectly, which I am usually so picky about. I’ve never walked away from a hair appointment so happy.
The salon itself has an awesome chic and current vibe and style. Exactly what I was looking for. They also carry an amazing variety of product.
Olive is on the spendy side ($ 65 for my cut). But, I honestly had no issue paying for the great service. Worth every penny.
I will refer all of my friends and be back for sure!

Michelle, Valerie and Lacey last highlighted my hair and all did a wonderful job! Best salon ever! So glad this place is in Mansfield!

Michelle is the best! I’ve never had a haircut that was this easy to take care of and have look awesome. She took the time to show me multiple ways to style it after listening to me explain how I don’t normally style hair because it isn’t a priority with kids. I will definitely be back. It was a great experience!

I went here for the first time yesterday. I am in a very awkward stage of growing out a pixie cut. My stylist was Natalie who was wonderful. She was super personable, told me exactly what she was doing, asked my opinion, it was an overall wonderful experience. The décor was was not cluttered and was really nice. Every staff member was wonderful. I LOVE that they open at 9am I can drop the kid off at school and go get my hair cut and styled for the day. I will defiantly be back.

This place is nice and clean but definitely pricey. I’ve been here a total of four times and Amy was always the one to do my hair. My first time here was because I’d gotten a bad cut with my previous stylist and wanted it fixed ASAP. This place had good reviews and was close to home, so I spent $ 55 (plus tip) on a cut to fix it. I really liked the cut so I continued to go there but noticed my cut went up to $ 65. My haircuts seemed fine at first, but my last cut was a little funky; there was a weird layer that made no sense and was only on one side of my hair.
My last time here was in May when I went to have my hair colored. I was informed there was no time to style my hair so it would be a color appointment only, which I was ok with. I went home to dry/​style my hair afterwards. I wanted ombré but got what I assume is balayage, definitely NOT what I wanted. I didn’t realize this until the next day and had no idea what to do about it. The coloring job was nice but not what I wanted and I felt a little robbed considering I paid $ 185 ($ 160 color + $ 25 tip).
I will not spend my money here again. My stylist was always nice and my color looks really nice still (balayage has grown on me), so that’s why I’m giving this place three stars. I hope this helps anyone considering this salon.

I tried to do a lot of research before coming here. I originally wanted to go to Brandy Nguyen, a hairstylist in Arlington who works for herself and does an amazing job — however she was booked for 1.5 months and I didn’t feel like waiting. It was my first time here and my last.
I wanted a caramel balayage, and the only reason this place is getting two stars is because Jen, my hairstylist, gave off the feel that she loves what she does and takes it seriously and also because of the fact that the décor of the place was on point. A lot of my coworkers go here and they are regulars, but I don’t see the appeal… they probably never ask for the receipt is why.
Originally, I wanted a haircut an color, and you would think that not coloring your whole head would cost less than full color, but it wasn’t. I opted not to get the haircut, so she colored my hair and I received a «free» deep conditioning. I also wanted a blow dry because i wanted to see the finished look when it’s dry.
Well the total was $ 160 (plus tip)…ok so was it that much to color just because of my thick hair… NOPE. I asked for the receipt and they charged me $ 30 for a blow dry… excuse me? It’s a blow dry, not blow out. Shouldn’t it come with it if you’re coloring someones hair to see if the color is right? Then I see $ 15 extra for going over my appointment time. Ok, I had a CONSULTATION a week before and Jen set it up for 2.5 hours. While waiting for the color to set she decided to start on someone else’s highlights and then offered the «free» deep conditioning, which was the reason why the time went over. so it wasn’t FREE, and how are you going to charge me for time that y’all set after looking at my hair a week before?
Ridiculous price for the work done.

I went here for the first time on Saturday and Denise cut my hair and did a GREAT job! I didn’t have to wait, they offered me a drink right when I walked in, then I was quickly taken back. It’s decorated well and has a wonderful ambiance. I will for sure be returning to see Denise again!

I’m a transgender women, and this was my first time getting a feminine haircut, so I was incredibly anxious about the whole thing. But now that it’s all said and done, I’m not at all nervous to return. If there are any trans girls in the area looking for a new stylist, stop searching and book an appointment with Danielle!
Like others have said, the staff is very polite as soon as you walk in the door, with an assortment of drinks at the ready. I had a brow wax with Michelle, and she was understandably a bit awkward but very professional. She did an absolutely amazing job and I’ve never been so in love with my eyebrows. (She also complimented my hair on the way out.)
Danielle cut my hair, and she was absolutely amazing. She listened to what I wanted, and gave me advice on how to style it in the future. She was very polite and an easy conversationalist and did not ask anything awkward or invasive. I absolutely love my hair and I’ve gotten a ton of complements on it, and I honestly can’t wait to go back.

Every time I have gotten my hair done here I have had the greatest experience! especially when Jenni does my hair! I’ll never go anywhere else!

I haven’t cried from a haircut in a long time. The last time was because of a trip to Supercuts where an Asian woman with stick straight silky hair cut my textured curls for $ 12. I spent $ 150 with a seasoned curl stylist trying to fix it. Since then I have always taken precaution to research and consult with any place and stylist before allowing them to approach me with their shears. I have been lucky enough to in the last few years to happen upon very good stylists who, in our consultations, engages with me about my routine, and how my hair behaves or doesn’t, and kindly lays out a plan with which I approve before beginning any work. I’m sure someone reading this right now thinks im obsessive or crazy but let me just clarify. I am blessed and cursed with VERY unique hair, in my combo curl type and texture. Every stylist I’ve ever seen is struck with dread at first sight (as they probably say to themselves «please god, help me through this, as I have no clue»). So, after finding Olive on Unilocal with great reviews I was sure I would be in great hands, especially because they are endorsed by DivaCurl. I came into a very pleasant and clean atmosphere. I met the stylist, ANDREA BOATRIGHT, and was happy to see that she had wavy/​curly hair, hoping that that meant she would understand mine a bit better. She was seemingly unusually confident in demeanor which put me at ease. I sat down and talked to her about my styling routine, the specific problems I’d like to fix with my hair, and told her about how my favorite haircut was achieved. I specifically stated that I wanted to keep as much length as possible and concentrate on thinning my tendrils so that my hair lay properly. I also detailed specifically how that look was achieved with my last stylist. A couple of times during that consultation she explained the method behind Diva cuts and how some of the methods I was talking about would cause certain problems with my hair and proceeded to tell me how she was going to do it her way… and that’s when I SHOULD HAVE walked out of her chair. But alas, I stayed because I didn’t want to be «difficult». Curls are like snowflakes, each girls curls are unique because so many factors contribute to them being just so. So regardless of whatever others have seen or experience with their own, no one knows my specific curls as well as me because i’ve been forced to learn about and witness them over the length of my life. I would say that overall I’m sure Andrea is a great stylist for someone out there. But it really upset me that she did not have much consideration for what i said worked for me, she instead insisted on doing my hair as she had been trained by DevaCurl. I asked for her to shape my hair and essentially what i left with was a trim that proved to be uneven when i restyled my hair. A $ 50 fucked up trim. As soon as she was done she assured me that i could reschedule to come in for her to fix it. UM NO, if you didn’t listen the first time to what i wanted, why would i let you touch my hair AGAIN? I called the salon this morning about it. They did make me talk to a couple of different people but the manager there assured me that If i was that upset they would do whatever to make me happy and offered me a full refund.
Listen, I’m sure not everyone has very specific needs like mine, and I’m sure andrea is a great stylist to someone out there. But I felt that With Me, she was unwilling to truly listen to my needs and unwilling to stop and try to correct herself or inquire as to how to make any adjustments when i was so clearly not ok with how she was handling my hair. I would say I know a lot of my girlfriends who would love this salon, but I will not be back.

$ 170 for color and cut is a little extreme for Mansfield tx, maybe Dallas, Houston or Los Angeles Ca… but not Mansfield, the color was good but the «cut/​style» was not worth the visit.
After talking with the owner I was offered $ 10 for the mis-​charge on the «cut/​style». Not worth another visit for such customer service. When the tip was $ 50!

First let me say the décor and style of the «beauty lounge» is amazing. I would describe it as feeling like your inside of Pinterest. They greeted me with a complimentary beverage. I chose coffee, amazing by the way. I didn’t have to wait long and they got me straight to get a hair wash. I was only coming in for a cut and style since I don’t put chemicals on my hair. All of their products were all natural, which is awesome!
When I got to «Latoya’s» chair, she asked me what I wanted done. I had my hair cut by my stylist of about 6 years (Toni and Guy). He messed it up big time about 5 months ago. I was letting it grow out until it needed some dead ends cut off. I have layers, no bangs. I told her I only wanted the dead ends cut off and she recommended bangs. The only bangs I’ve ever had is «swoop bangs». I was thinking she was recommending full over the forehead bangs. Which are very popular now and she seemed confident, so I said alright. She cut a very thick section of the front part of my hair to my eye, it was very chunky and wasn’t blended at all. She then informed me she would be adding more texture when she dried it. She put mouse for volume but only applied it to the very top. I have VERY limp and lifeless hair and its really hard for their to be body near the roots. I thought it was for volume and she would be round brushing the top. She got out a round brush and instead of lifting the roots she smoothed them down and didn’t do that round brush motion I was used to. She snipped a little more off my bangs but didn’t really do much at all to my hair. She cut more than an inch off which I wasn’t happy about. Then when I got home and got to really look at my hair. She didn’t give me any layers!!! I asked for LOTS of layers. My bangs are hideous. I have them pinned back and they will stay like that until they grow out. If it was a coffee shop, I’d be back. Maybe a different stylist. I was NOT pleased at all. The website pricing says $ 40 and I was charged $ 50. DON’T GO.

Moved to this area about a year ago. In search for salon, I made an appt at Olive for the first time, for hair cut. Michelle did a great job! She asked questions to find out exactly what/​how I wanted my hair to be cut, look, and feel, and I’m very pleased with the result. I think I found my beauty salon finally. Booked another appointment for color and cut.

Went back for my 2^nd appointment and had Michelle do my hair again. She’s great. The highlites are perfect. Will continue to come and see Michelle as long as I live here.

I’ve used two stylists at Olive (had to switch while one was out in maternity leave!) and both are great. Valerie is quick and thorough with a cut/​blowout. Jessica F. does wonderful, natural-​looking Balayage highlights. The stylists aren’t too pushy with selling you products, which was a major complaint I had about my last salon. The salon itself is beautiful and the front desk staff are very helpful. I love that I can easily schedule my appointments online through their website.

I would not choose another salon to go to! I have been going to Kyle for over 5 years or so now and he is great! He will do your hair exactly how you want it done. (From past experience some hairdressers like to do their own thing.) The rest of the staff is great also, very nice and professional. The salon itself is also set up very well and is so gorgeous! I would highly recommend anyone come get their hair done here, women or men.

This is the best salon ever! The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. When you arrive you get a choice of drinks (wine, tea, water, coffee, etc). The décor is gorgeous — modern but cozy and feminine at the same time. I’ve never had to wait when having an appointment either so that’s a plus.
Latoya is my stylist and she is awesome! I got highlights for the first time and was worried they would look too extreme. But I shouldn’t have worried — they look great and I have gotten so many compliments about how natural they look. Latoya is always great at cutting and styling my hair exactly the way I want it!

Professional, modern, friendly and fun. Olive — The Beauty Lounge may sound like and old fuddy-​duddy old people salon. But, don’t let the name fool you. The stylists are top-​notch. You won’t leave disappointed.
Ask for Latoya. She’s been my stylist for nearly 9 years.
