We are downtown Bay City’s luxury hidden gem.
- Welcome to the Lounge

We built a lounge
- Not just a hair home.
- Not just a workplace.
- A place where you can grow, laugh, eat, vent, celebrate, learn, find the best of friends, travel, succeed, and know you’ve got your girls.

We have each other’s backs
- We protect the vibe. It’s sacred to us.
- We give grace.
- We have a team with zero drama.
- We want the best for each other, always.

We hype each other up
- Your hair is fire? We’re telling you.
- Big win? We’re celebrating you.
- Bad day? We’re probably giving you hugs in the back room and hyping you up.

We care for each other
- If we have time to grab a treat, we don’t forget our Lounge besties.
- “I’m getting Water Street, do you guys want one?” is basically a love language.

We share everything
- Formulas. Products. Tips. Fav women-owned vendors. Clothing links.
- If one of us finds something good, everyone is about to know about it.

We laugh… a lot
- There’s always a story.
- Always someone making everyone laugh.
- Always a little good chaos.
- And usually someone saying, “Okay, I really have to go…” 45 minutes before they actually leave.

We don’t just work together
- We travel together.
- We show up at each other’s houses.
- Sunday football? Come over.
- Want a drink after work? Bet a couple or a whole handful — we’re coming with.

We make plans and actually show up
- Dinner turns into drinks after.
- Drinks turn into “Where is our next Lounge trip?”
- And somehow nobody wants to go home yet.

We show up outside the salon
- Because friendship doesn’t clock out after we’re done working at the Lounge.
- We’re there for the life stuff, too.

We choose community over competition
- There’s room for all of us to win.
- Your success is our success.
- We’re not keeping score. We’re building something together.

We celebrate the little things
- First-time guests. Fully booked weeks. Big plans. Exciting achievements. New babies. Birthdays. Engagements — you name it, we are truly happy for you.
- We make a big deal out of the things that matter to our Lounge Babes.

We include the girl
- New girl? Come hang out with us.
- Questions on a formula? Ask away, girl.
- Making weekend plans? “What are you doing?”
- Nobody will ever feel like they’re on the outside at the Lounge.
