Where style and skill come together
We want every client to feel cared for and confident when they leave our chairs. Whether you’re here for a blowout, styling, extensions, or our professional makeup services, we focus on giving you a bespoke experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and amazing!
Since 2006, we’ve been bringing bespoke hair and makeup services to LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and now to our La Jolla hair salon.
Luxe Lather Lounge was founded by Yumi and Korina, two industry-leading stylists known for their signature blowouts and flawless, camera-ready makeup, who wanted to create a luxury blow-dry bar with a deep commitment to innovation and excellence, delivering an elevated experience to everyone who sits in our chairs.
We specialize in blowouts that add volume, shine, and lasting hold, along with event and bridal makeup tailored to enhance natural beauty.
