The Best 19 Hair Salon in South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado Country

Kristie Hobbs Got the haircut I wanted. Great service!

Patricia Oor Terry has cut my hair twice now. She was the one I went to after letting my hair grow for a year do to the covid shut down. She did a great job. So I went back 2 months later.

Deanna Keirstead Love, love, love

Kristin F Karla is amazing! I have curly hair and have had a hard time finding someone who cuts it just right and she did an awesome job! She is super talented and is an all around great woman to chat with. I will be back!

Jill Stanfield I was in South Lake Tahoe over the weekend and a friend took me to Hair at the Lake on Saturday to update my style. Karla asked me what I wanted for my cut and color. She more than delivered, the color is vibrant and in the sun it sparkles. The new hair style I asked for was shorter and took my hair away from my face and gave me bangs. When she turned me toward the mirror when she was done I was so pleased, this is the first time I have LOVED my hair cut and the color added depth. I would recommend Karla to anyone. she is 3 hours away from home but I will be back to see her soon. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this hair stylist

Mason Balison Me and my girlfriend got our hair cut here and Karla is absolutely amazing! She’s very kind and a great hair stylist! She’s been cutting hair since the 80s. She’s so good with hair she can even cut it dry which is difficult for most stylists. I have found my new permanent hair salon and couldn’t be happier with Karla’s work.

maureen newberry They say that great things come from small packages. That couldnt be more true of Hair at the Lake. The gorgeous Karla not only has the skills to produce beautiful results, she is a master of really listening to her customer to know what they want. She has, on many occasions, taken my hair from the "soccer mom" look to one that radiates class and sassy with the colors to match. My only regret is that I dont live in Tahoe but she is my first stop whenever I get there. I cannot recommend her enough!

John Dovala Just by walking into the salon shows you Rochelle has an excellent sense of design--color, light, form, shape, etc. Her sense of design clearly informs her skills as a stylist. She is excellent. Top tier.

Georgianna Shea The warmth of this cute salon is only matched by its owner, Rochelle. She was so welcoming and took the time to talk with me about my color needs, assuring we were on the same page and had a strategy for not only this appointment but moving forward. My full highlights are GORGEOUS! Of special note: I am gone for most of the winter and Rochelle offered to give me the color formula she used on me so that another stylist could match it. I don’t know of many stylists who would do that!! Many may remember this salon when it was the old Tahoe Hair Company and miss that salon. Change is hard. But trust me on this one, the change is very, very good!!

Kathy Crane Rochelle does a fantastic job! Im so happy to have found her....TBH....my husband was the one who found her. Rochelle cuts his hair also. The cut she gives me looks great for at least as long as the time between appts and the color is perfect.

Jessica Wilcox Rochelle is fantastic! I found her a few months back when looking for someone in town to do highlights and extensions. She took her time during consultation to decided what kind of extensions would work best. I love how she installs my extensions and my color is spot on every time, I usually don’t even watch her doing my hair like I used to do with others, because she knows what she’s doing. Been back several times and wouldn’t trust anyone else in town. Prices are more than reasonable and she’s really flexible when it comes to scheduling, much appreciated.

Kathryn Jones Kim transformed my totally grey hair to dark brunette with great coverage. She also gave me such a great cut with perfect bangs. Looking forward for highlights on my next visit! Halo Salon is affordable, professional,and personable!

Leslie Amato Favorite place for amazing color and salon services! Highly recommended!

paul amato We are never disappointed with the amazing quality found at Acqua!

Wally Pierce Acqua did Hair and make up for bride and maid of honor. Jaw dropping beautiful. WOW Grate Job. No wash B4 styling.

H S Moving to a new area and finding a new hair stylist can be stressful, especially when getting highlights. I was so lucky to have been referred to Sarah! Her salon is clean, parking is easy, and she’s a fantastic, experienced stylist. I couldn’t be happier!

sarah winner Julie is amazing!! Ive been going to her for the last couple years and no matter what I ask her to do she absolutely kills it. Shes made me blonde, dyed my hair black, and given me fun shaggy mullet cuts. Shes kind and I love that she has a small salon and its just us in there. Highly recommend!

Nicole De Rosa The owner to Lucid Hair Design, Julie Collins is beyond exceptional. I was first referred to Julie from my mother-in-law, and I have been going to Julie now for several years. Im pretty picky when it comes to my hair and getting the blonde just right, and I can honestly say Julie has NEVER disappointed and has always excelled at getting my color perfect. She not only is knowledgeable, Fair with her prices but also, shes just a wonderful person and I always extremely look forward to getting my hair done and having a little girl time. She is also extremely versatile with many different types of extensions and knowing what extension type is best for each individual person. I have no plans to look for a hairdresser, pretty much ever again. I can honestly say Julie Collins is a hair genius. I can say with certainty, when it comes to South Lake Tahoe, California, the standards are always high and there is quite a bit of competition. So, for the fact that Julie has her own shop and doesnt have to work underneath anyone, let alone has the steady clientele of her own, speaks volumes. Truly I am blessed at finding such an amazing girl to do my hair.

Terra Hurst Julie has been doing my hair for 4 years now. I have extensions and color regularly. I have gone to many hair dressers for extensions and Julie is hands down the very best by far. She is extremely fast and my extensions stay in for months. I very rarely lose any. She also has done my hair and make up for special events. I have had Julie try so many different things and she’s always willing no matter what my request is, she does an amazing job every time. She is one of the sweetest, kindest, hardest working humans I have ever met. I consider her family. Not only is she my hairdresser, she is also my therapist.

Destiny Sherman She did an amazing job on my hair! She gave me exactly what I asked for. If you’re looking for a blonde specialist in Tahoe definitely call her!

DS Concierge Hands down the best experiences Ive had for my hair have been with Julie. Shes worked with me to go blonde, short, and now brown with red! I love how easy it is to communicate what I am looking for in a cut and color. Plus her studio is so cute and relaxing.

Derek Guy Love the vibe and the atmosphere here!

alejandro garbalosa Dani is amazing! Her attention to detail and personalized service is second to none. She was prompt about making appointments and had a great eye for making my hair look great every time. 10/10 would recommend!

Kat Walton A great salon! Dani always considers my hair type and lifestyle every time I go to her. 10/10 recommend

Lake Tahoe Pontoons Best place to get a haircut in Lake Tahoe. Ive been here for decades and hands-down Best barber Ive ever had. Beau has been doing this for decades and it shows. Friendly serviceable and always ready to cut however, you ask. Of course, Ive liked the cut that he gives me for years so I just say the usual.

Sonja Burns Oriana is a delight, I have only started seeing her within the last year and so far I have LOVED every cut and color that she has done. I have gotten to a point where I let her "play" with my hair because I can trust that it will look amazing! Cant wait for the next go round in a couple weeks!

Nikki Cruz I have been going to Oriana to get my hair done for a couple years now and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. She is such a kind hearted women and is so knowledgeable. I always love coming in and getting my hair touched up by her. ❤️

Kimberly Nenstiel Oriana is wonderful. She did a very professional job with my highlights and I will definitely become a regular at her shop! Highly recommend!

Jenny Smith Oriana did my hair and makeup for a Memorial Day weekend wedding and she did such a great job. It was a really fun experience, I recommend if you are doing and updo or any wedding service for hair and makeup, please consider her business. Super professional, and so easy to work with.

Brittany Streeto Kristy is the best I’ve encountered!!! I’m here for the summer all stressed without my normal stylist. I went to call Kristy and she immediately text me within seconds and was able to see me right away. She put in my extensions better than anyone has ever done prior. She trimmed and toned my hair to perfection. Her prices are lower than any place I’ve ever come across and her knowledge, expertise, passion and amazing personality make the experience on another level! If I lived in Tahoe permanently she would be my stylist for life!!!!

Ashley Wilson I have been coming to Kristy for many years I live in Sacramento but I drive up every few months because I don’t trust anyone else to do my hair. I’m so excited to visit her in her beautiful salon. My hair always looks great even when I try to dye it red out of the box she was able to fix it.

Ashley Elizabeth Absolutely gorgeous salon! I was greeted by a friendly face, Kristy the owner, and offered a glass of wine or mimosa. How cute!! Couldnt recommend this business more for small town South Lake Tahoe with a very limited amount of reputable salons. A must visit for eyelashes, keratin treatments and really any hair needs. Recommend 10/10!!!

Lisa DeLucenay Brian is absolutely amazing with my color and tone, fabulous cuts too!! Love love love!!

Jen Dawn Brian is the absolute best. I have been going for years and every cut and color is perfectly on point.

Cristina Urreaga Awesome place. Always leave having good hair and one of the better looking salons in Tahoe.

Deb Bradley Goldwell products, very happy with my color and style!

Deborah Centanni Kelly did an amazing job! I love my new hair cut.

Andrea Dannehl Ember is absolutely amazing. I went to see her for a Thai yoga massage (My first ever) after experiencing major neck pain. I went in with little mobility and left feeling like a whole new person. Her space is beautiful, calm and welcoming. And her energy is equally calm and welcoming. I will definitely be returning and also telling the world about Ember’s magic hands!

Krista Forste I just got a hair cut from Ember for the first time and she was amazing! She paid special attention to my requests and listened to my wants and truly supplied the haircut I asked for. She was super understanding and patient with me, I’ve never enjoyed a haircut more. I definitely recommend her!

Sam Penfield I moved from NYC and am so lucky to have found Ember, owner of Luna Studios. I have bleached dreads so my hair can be complicated to work on. Ember not only was able to easily work on my hair but introduced me to new techniques that has made my hair my healthy and looking better! Ember is a real sweetheart: flexible, professional and an absolute artist. I cannot recommend her more highly!

Brandy Posada Had a wonderful experience with Ember. I scheduled an appointment for a hair conditioning treatment and haircut. As I have wavy and frizzy hair, I usually dread getting my hair cut and styled. I discussed my concerns and wants with my hair and Ember was very receptive. I felt comfortable and enjoyed my experience at Ritual. She really is talented! I would recommend to anyone looking for a hairstylist with years of experience.

Mitchel Soliman I’d like to start this review off saying that I appreciated Ember seeing me last minute and taking me after hours… however the service I received was beyond terrible. This lady cannot do braids. She charged me $160 for an hours worth of work only for the braids to come out 2 hours later… I politely asked for a partial refund as I was appreciative of her time however she was extremely rude back blaming me for the quality of my braids? Then I asked for a full refund of which she refused and then stop responding to me. Very unprofessional. Do not see Ember for braids she has no idea what she is doing. She claimed my hair isn’t long enough yet I get my hair braided 3-4 times a year with no problem. On top of that I’ve never paid more than $50-60 for braids. $20 per braid is RIDICULOUS especially for someone who clearly cannot braid. And then also blaming it on me not wanting products in my hair? I’ve never needed gel for my braids before. Again you clearly lack the skills and should not offer braids as a service. I am still waiting for my refund…

Summer Neibert Sonia was amazing. I was so happy with my Hair And Make Up on my special day. Not only was she amazing at getting me ready for my big day, but she was an amazing person even helping me get into my dress.!! I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to do your hair and make up in Southlake Tahoe for your big day!!

Brandi Deuel Sonia did an absolutely wonderful job! The makeup was flawless and so light that it felt like I was wearing nothing. I showed her a couple of pictures of how I wanted my hair and it came out perfect! Both stayed in place the entire day and night. She is super sweet, professional, and I would hire her for every special occasion if I could!

Kaitlyn Carter Sonia is absolute gem! Unlike most brides, I was coming from out of state so I couldnt do a bridal tutorial before my big day. I was also doing a sunrise wedding! I told Sonia what my vision was for my hair and make up. She communicated with me over several months leading up to my wedding. She made the entire process less stressful. And she exceeded all my expectations! She made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I highly recommend Sonia to every Bride making the trip to Tahoe! I loved getting to know her both on a professional and personal level.

Julie Singer Sonia did an incredible job with my hair and makeup. My hair is a bit shorter than chin-length so its not always easy to pull off fantastic curls to go with a flower crown. My chest has a lot of redness from blood vessels dilation and she seamlessly blended that so that from the top of my dress to my hairline had a flawless, even look. She came to my hotel room and was able to get everything done in the exact 2 hour window that she quoted. She even did so on her birthday! I cannot recommend her enough.

Maya Bruhis Sonia and her team were amazing!! They did a wonderful job with our hair and makeup for my wedding, and were also very fun to hang out with on my special day. They were very professional and responsive leading up to the event. I highly recommend Tahoe Hair and Makeup for your event!

Debra Buie The best pedicure I have had in a long while! I got the hot stone pedicure, 10am walk-in. Clean!

Barbara D Brown Ask for Oriana. She’s the best with hair cuts and hair coloring. Highlights too. You won’t be disappointed

Shannon Huggins Best hair salon in Tahoe.....would visit every time I need to get a hair cut. Very good service and everybody is so friendly.

janice ross JULIE IS A WONDERFUL LADY & HAIRSTYLIST . I HAVE ONLY BEEN TO HER BEAUTY SALON TWICE, BUT I WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE. SHE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CLIENT.

Carolyn Curtis Great haircut and I will be back❤️

Anna Stoneman Jessica did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it turned out amazing! There were 25mph wind gusts and my hair stayed up, and my makeup stayed perfect through the whole day. Thank you so much!

Ashley Palbicki Kathy was absolutely amazing! I couldnt have been happier with my wedding day makeup. I had initially been planning on going to MAC to get my makeup done... they were horrible.. Salon be was only 10 minutes away from my venue. After looking at their website and seeing pictures of other brides, I could tell that they would do a great job. I choose the airbrush makeup application and it looked amazing. I cant recommend these ladies enough! Thank you for making me look amazing on my wedding day!

Avery Bedard I hired Salon be to do the makeup for my wedding day, and Im so thankful I did! Kathy and Eryn did the makeup for 7 women and myself. They were such a pleasure to have in the bridal suite the morning of the wedding! They kept the tone in the room fun and light-hearted. Their work was beautiful and they managed to make everyone look like an elevated version of themselves. No one had any cakey makeup or looked out of place. And the best part - my makeup looked great even at the end of the night - despite wedding day tears, sweat and dancing all night long! Id happily encourage anyone in the Tahoe/Reno area looking for makeup services to hire Salon be! Their professionalism and talents are crucial to have on your wedding day.

Elizabeth Marshall I love this salon. My stylist, jessica did a great consultation for me and made sure to know what I was looking for. The color was perfect and styled just like the picture I brought in. Thank you, Salon B!

Andrew & Katie I had a wonderful experience using Salon Be for my wedding! Beautiful hair and makeup services by Kathy and Eryn. I am VERY happy that I did a hair trial (I’m less particular about makeup, so I didn’t do a trial for that). Kathy and I spent about 2 hours together in the salon tweaking my hairstyle until we found just the right look; I was super impressed and grateful for the amount of time she spent with me during the trial. I am not local to the area, so I scheduled my trial for 4 days before the wedding. It was absolutely worth it, and I would highly recommend this for any Bride! For future brides: I had scheduled 45 minutes per service per person, but I might suggest adding an extra 15 minutes to your Bride services if you have a strict timeline. We were running a little tight on our makeup schedule by the end of the morning.

Cally Moore Marianna was amazing! She is truly a gem! She styled our incredibly thick hair flawlessly. Our makeup enhanced our best features. I would recommend her every time!

Jill Hahner Marianna was absolutely wonderful! I would definitely recommend her for all your hair and makeup needs. I was so impressed with her enthusiasm. During my trial, she made sure to ask plenty of questions to get to know myself and my preferred style. The day of my wedding was magical. My hair had never looked better and my makeup was gorgeous. Marianna is a very sweet lady who genuinely cares about her clients and I’m so glad I found her. I plan to book with her again for any of my future photo shoot and event needs.

Lana Sheta Marianna did makeup and hair for me and my bridesmaids and she was completely lovely! We had an early wedding and she was willing to climb the 5 flights of stairs to our condo at 6:50am to make sure that we had plenty of time to get ready. Marianna was friendly, efficient and responsive to our requests for modifications!

Samantha Fernandez Marianna did such an amazing job for my wedding! She used airbrush make up that came out so great. I emphasized how much I wanted a natural look because my (future) husband loves my natural look. He said he had a hard time trying not to cry when he first saw me walking down the aisle! Everyone kept complimenting on how amazing I looked and what such a beautiful bride I made and I attribute that to Marianna. Thank you for excellent work and detail!

Paula Lomax Marianna was wonderful. I brought a picture of the hairstyle I wanted and she nailed it. She made my makeup look natural but refined. My wedding pictures turned out absolutely perfect. A great experience!

Skye JP! Im a new customer who has been going to LAtelier for the past 18 months. The proprietors and stylists are creative AF, hilarious, and they are wizards with hair. The vibrant decor of the salon matches the personalities there. I always look forward to my appointments as a relaxing respite where I know I will have a good time, or at least find myself laughing out loud, while my hair is perfected.

Jenna Marie Andrews Love this salon and Alice! The location is beautiful, clean and modern. I love how it is tucked away but still very popular! Make sure to make an appointment, as they book out fast. Worth the wait. Ive been seeing Alice for about a decade and I am always happy with my results.

Kelley Hopper Michelle is the best. The shop is really cute and super clean. I’ve been getting my hair done by Michelle for a lot of years and have never been disappointed.

Sarah Jones Shelly is the best stylist I have ever been to. She listens to what I want and delivers every time. L Altelier is chic and quaint, every visit is a positive experience.

Sarah Balasanian Michelle is so sweet. She does an amazing job with my hair. This place requires masks and complies to the rules set in place by the Governor (for those who are concerned about that sort of stuff). Its a cute little spot. I fully recommend.

Nicole Levesque AMAZING - I come to Tahoe once a year and always go to the spa a few times as my treat. The spa I previously went to closed, so after doing some research and reading reviews I gave Biospirit a shot and I was NOT disappointed! My 90-minute massage was HEAVENLY! Loren was my therapist and she really listened during our consult and delivered an exceptional experience. I am going back today for my final spa day while on vacation and am confident that the I am going to have an amazing experience. Would HIGHLY recommend

Dillan Lindon I recently had my first massage here, and it was absolutely wonderful! Its the best I’ve felt in a long time. The space was incredibly clean and radiated a cozy, calming energy. I felt completely at ease and was able to relax fully. The overall experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Peggy Cantfil Lovely spa had an excellent body glow sugar scrub… Got all the barnacles off. Massages are lovely. Wanted a firm foot reflexology While was a pleasant foot rub it fell short Of my expectations for my tired feet, not true reflexology as advertised.

Bri Freeman I had a lovely massage with Jennifer. She is very talented and the massage was maybe the best I’ve had. She’s very professional and has a comforting and welcoming presence. The lady working at the reception was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the spa is cozy and clean. I’ve had facials there in the past as well and always have a good experience. I will be back soon!

Erika Rendino The spa was impeccably clean and had a cozy, inviting ambiance that immediately put me at ease. The front desk staff went above and beyond to be attentive and welcoming, ensuring I felt cared for throughout my visit. As far as the massage, I had requested a 90-minute deep tissue massage, but unfortunately, the experience was very underwhelming. The massage fell far short of expectations, barely qualifying as a standard massage. It felt like the longest 90 minutes of my life and was totally not worth the $215 I paid, including the tip.
