    Hair color
    Zoya E.

    Since I moved to San Antonio, I have been looking for someone I can trust with my hair. It's been 2 years and I have tried so many salons. Finally after a long search I found Aklounge. I got my hair done by Cedar, she's extremely talented and knowledgeable about hair color. She advised me well and we decided on doing baby lights . The color came out amazing and I absolutely love it. I am so satisfied with the whole experience. I won't be going anywhere else now

    I was so uncertain about getting my eyebrows microbladed, but after meeting with Kenny I knew I was in good hands, his portfolio is sooooo.......mind blowing and I salute him for being such a big sponsor towards cancer patients with hair loss pigmentation, areola art work and much more. The customer service I received was outstanding, he took his time during the procedure to make sure I was completely comfortable. His shop room is so comfy, I should've took a nap but I thought I'd rather get to know more about his work instead. This guy is so funny I'm telling you lol! There was never a dull moment he was very polite, offering refreshments more than once(they have every chip you can pretty much name lol, a mini fridge stacked with juice, soda, and water, and a fresh popcorn machine with so many season flavors I wanted to try them all. Y'all I'm talking a tower of snacks with chocolate, candy, nature oats you name it! ) Inside was a tad bit cold and He offered a plush fluff blanket without me having to ask and played a movie while my eyebrows were numbing and through the entire session. I highly recommend this location for micro blading. (I will be updating my review with before and after photos once they are healed) they are like a real family at this establishment I felt like I was at home with family, I've never felt so good just by being in the presence of employees before, if you check this place out which I 100% recommend you will get to experience this genuinely customer love also! Thanks AK LOUNGE!

    Before..... uneven cut, dingy color and lots of damage.

    Jordyn Baker and Sam (don't know his last name) is all I need to say. So I've been through a SHIT ton of hair trauma. Have struggled with my hair and different stylist for the last 5 years since being here in SA. I've had bad cuts, bad color, chemical burn on my scalp.... you name it. I've had it all. I just about cringed at starting over with somebody new but due to the salon reviews I decided to give it a try. The saying "you get what you pay for" is true. I've never paid over $80 for my hair and it truly showed. Cheap jobs get shitty results which mainly means lots of uneven color with lots of damage. Walking in the salon was like walking in my front door. So welcoming and just a laid back atmosphere! Jordyn worked on me for a total of 13 hours(yes crazy to think I sat in a chair that long and she worked that long on me) but she did with no complaining. Sam also helped on the fun! He was a doll! We laughed so much! But spending 13 hours with that beautiful soul was a blast. She taught me about proper care and much more. I usually leave previous salons crying. NOT YESTERDAY. I walked out feeing like a million bucks. My hair is BEAUTIFUL AND FEELS FANTASTIC! I've never been this happy with the results. JORDYN MAY AS WELL MARRY ME BECAUSE SHES MY HAIR PERSON FOR LIFE! Spend the money don't be cheap ladies. You'll thank me later. Thanks S&J, you da bomb. #prettyhairdontcare Will post another full review on Sam with pics included!

    Best experience ever !! I moved from Cali to Texas and of course as soon as I was settled in I searched for a blonde specialist salon in San Antonio . I've tried a few, but let me tell you! I didn't really love them , didn't like how my blonde looked! but I knew as soon as I stepped in AK LOUNGE and met Jordyn and instantly I knew I found my hair stylist ‍ She's only done my hair 2x but both times were def beyond my expectations! My hair gets better better and better .. can't wait to see her again ! I feel like I've known her forever and I'm so glad I found my stylist here in Texas !!!

    Balayage by Denise AMAZING

    If you are thinking about coming here, you better drop all your things and come RUNNING! This place is not only up to date, comfortable and friendly, but the experience you will have is like NO OTHER. I came here with a photo in hand and Denise worked complete MAGIC. She transformed my hair with the utmost delicacy, time and effort. She is a hair god. Then, Jordan came in with AN AMAZING haircut that took off exactly how much I wanted, framed my face to fit ME, and had the most positive spunky attitude. I am telling you, hands down. The.best.salon.

    AK lounge hair magic. You'll walk out in love with yourself all over again
    Gigi M.

    Found AK lounge in FB after years of having the same stylist. I messaged them and within minutes they responded, they even accommodated my short notice. My purple Pinterest inspirational we're a walk in the park for these ladies. Kayla my new stylist was A-mazing. They did test strands and got the most grueling part out of the way, the money. I love that there were no surprises & they truly catered to my needs. The studio is open and welcoming, no boring ceiling tiles while they massage the shampoo out. There's a nice inverted floral box that is cleverly placed. You won't be disappointed.

    After microblading
    Erin J.

    I have wanted to get my eyebrows microbladed for some time, but had never found someone who I trusted and whose worked I truly liked. After doing extensive research, I found Kenny at AK Lounge. I decided to go for it, and I am SO glad I did. The process was very comfortable. He measured my eyebrows extensively, showed me what he would be doing, thoroughly went over the process and aftercare, chose the right color for me, and asked my opinion on everything. He numbed my brows and I didn't feel a thing! After they healed, I went back for a touch up a little over a month later. My eyebrows look completely natural and absolutely perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I get compliments on them all the time and people can't believe they aren't my real eyebrows- that's how natural they look! Kenny is an artist and I'm so thankful I went to him for microblading!

    This is my first time getting a haircut from AK Lounge. Tenica was my stylish. She was amazing. Not only she's talented, but also she gave me lots of product and technique recommendations for my long heavy Asian hair. I love my haircut and will definitely recommend her.

    All over color and cut, shampoo treatment and steam

    I have a naturally curly hair. And I was wondering who would you recommend to style and cut my hair but knows what they are doing with my kind of hair? Not saying no one knows what they are doing but I am nervous to try a new place.

    Tenica would be able to help you. She has spoken to me about my curl pattern and the impact of a haircut and Brazilian blowout on it.

    Is there a certain time to call to inquire about services? I have have called over 5 times-and have not received an answer.

    My sincere apologies , we understand your concern, this is Kenny I do all the cosmetics and normally today would be fine but both me and Ashley were teaching a Areola class in a hospital from 7am - till just now we’re very sorry we miss your calls… 

    Do you specialize in Lip Tattoos?

    Yes we do, kenny is an amazing tattoo artist that specializes in cosmetic tattooing and he can make the most beautiful 3D lip ever!

    Do you guys do permanent eyeliner?

    Yes we specialize in it

    Are you able to complete brows on African American with darker skin?

    Yes we can you can come in for a consultation and we can see in person;) if youd like to make a consultation you can call or text our salon at 2104789676 and we’ll get you scheduled Thankyou for your interest and look forward to meeting you ;)

    Honestly I have nothing but Amazing things to say about this place and how it is ran. First of all…read moreI had Kassandra and she was AMAZING. She is so sweet and professional and caring and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. I had gotten my hair done years ago from another salon and they bleached and butchered my hair so I was so nervous to come to another salon to get it done. But Kassandra took the time to listen and my hair is BEAUTIFUL! She is an expert on hair cuts as well, I went from long hair with no volume or definition to beautiful long layers with bangs that frame my face, I got a balayage done and now that I have lived here for 5 years I think I have found my new salon. Also a big shoutout to the owners as well, Roger was super professional and you can tell very proud of his studio he runs it well, he checks on every single client that comes in to make sure all the stylist are doing PERFECT work. I seriously cannot say how amazing this place was the two times I have come. Thank you Kassandra and Roger for making me feel beautiful:) you guys are doing amazing and I hope your company flourishes . If you are feeling iffy about this place, don't, because they are amazing .

    YES! I would absolutely recommend this salon!! At first…read morethere was some confusion regarding my service. I called and was told I could come at 4. However, I didn't pay the deposit. So by the time I arrived, someone else had booked the time slot. However, the owner was very apologetic and very friendly. He was able to quickly schedule me in the next day. This time paying the deposit. I forgot the young ladies name,I want to say Veronica, anyway she was so very sweet, kind, considerate and conversational. Whenever,I need a trim or curl, I would absolutely return and recommend her and this salon. SIDE NOTE: Which I don't understand why there are so many complaints about the deposit being non refundable. Because literally EVERY SINGLE STYLIST I have found in SA has requested a non-refundable deposit. (Which is understandable when you consider people no showing.

    I normally do not write reviews but I feel like I have to warn others about my experience here. I…read morewent to this salon on November 15, 2023 trying to save some money and booked with a level 1 stylist fresh out of cosmetology school. I deeply regret that decision. I asked for simple curtain bangs and the stylist completely butchered the right side of my hair. She told me she was fresh out of cosmetology school and it honestly showed. The cut was uneven, choppy, and way shorter than I asked for. It was so bad that I have been self conscious about my hair ever since. What makes it worse is that my hair has never been the same. I take very good care of my hair and it used to grow evenly and healthy. Three years later and that section still has not grown back properly. I have had to style around it constantly and it has been extremely frustrating. I trusted this salon and left feeling upset and embarrassed. If you care about your hair at all, I would strongly reconsider booking with a level 1 stylist here. Saving money is not worth dealing with damage that lasts for years.

She most recently helped me recover my hair from my impulsive decision to bleach on my own! She was very patient and brought my hair back to life. The salon is clean, comfortable and well versed in services. If you're not sure where to park, there is parking across the street by the block fences or along the street. Definitely recommend booking ahead of time and/or calling the salon. This is Amber's IG: https://instagram.com/amberrose.stylez?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

What made matters worse is that they do not accept walk-ins, which would be fine if they were actually responsive. I called three separate times and not a single call was answered. No callback, no communication, nothing. Because I couldn't get through to anyone, I had no choice but to go there in person just to ask about appointment availability--only to be told they don't take walk-ins. The lack of basic customer service and communication is unacceptable. If you expect people to schedule ahead, the least you can do is answer your phone. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend unless you have a lot of time and patience to deal with the hassle.

Which totally defeated the purpose of paying to get my hair done. I think the only thing that I liked on my makeup was the eyeshadow, the lashes had lifted at one end of both eyes. My stylist was Lili, I don't think I would return or recommend, especially for the money spent and dissatisfaction of the results. Also, I understood that the salon was located downtown and how I would have to pay for parking because of it, however, I had even asked via text message if they recommended a place to park which they were helpful in sending a picture of one and with it showing their side door for me to enter on the weekend. However, when I got up to the salon, they had asked me for my license plate information to cover or waive the parking expense. Unfortunately, this information wasn't relayed to me in advance that they would be covering the parking expense and the parking lot states you have to pay when you park and when I told her I had already paid for it nobody told me anything even when I asked ahead where to park, Lili's response was "oh well next time." It would have been nice to save the $21.56 that I had spent for 2 hours of parking. Again, super appreciative that they even offer this it's just nice that if it is offered that the information is relayed so I could have appreciated/benefited from it as well.
