The shop is super cute and Andrea is amazing! I originally 1st booked her to do my wedding and she did awesome! My 5 bridesmaid and I had beautiful elegant waves! Recently I got a cut and style and was again very impressed. She cut me some layers and styled my hair with some super soft waves that I can never achieve. She is very knowledgeable and super friendly! I would highly recommend. Read Less

I've always had dark hair and wanted to go lighter with bright color for as long as I can remember but was scared of my hair being damaged. Andrea I at AK Lounge was able to help me get to the perfect shade of purple as well as a bubble gum pink that has been my favorite hair color so far while keeping my hair healthy (olaplaex take home treatment). She is AMAZING with color. I've sent about 10 friends to her for color work and all have had just as great of an experience as I did! If you're looking for some fun color in your hair, make an appointment with Andrea! Read Less

DO NOT GO HERE. This is the worst place ever. I went here for a simple dye job and left with half my hair burnt off. The girl who worked on my hair was Denise and she didn't know what she was doing at all. Not only did she completely burn off half my hair but she even tried to hide what she did by not telling me the extent of the damage. Then when I confronted the worker, they had the audacity to try and blame me. I was told the damage was my fault due to a chemical reaction between the dye I had used on my hair from a box over six months ago and the new dye they were putting in. It's pretty obvious that Denise tried to dye my hair with bleach (which I explicitly asked her not to use) and ended up leaving it in for too long. I was offered a bottle of shampoo and told to come back for a new appointment. How is that supposed to make up for the loss of my hair? I'm so completely disappointed by this entire experience. These ladies have no idea what they are doing. Don't go here at all if you care about your hair. Read Less

Had the worst experience of my life at this place!! Went there for a Brazilian Blowout with Jordyn and after almost 3 hours there, my hair didn’t look like I did anything, on top of everything when I washed I realized a big breakage on the back on my head! When I called to complain (of course as I paid $325 for it) Ashley was the one who replied my text and all the time she replied she never proposed that I come back so she can see it, no she just went on and on how it couldn’t possibly be the product, humm well I didn’t have that breakage before and even though my hair had some damage from previous treatment, the product was supposed to help with it, not make it worst!! All chemicals products if not well applied can cause damage, but the whole time all she did basically saying that it was my fault and not the stylist who applied the product!! Honestly for the price I paid, and how my hair looked, they really owed me some compensation or at least a treatment to recover the hair! And all she said in the end was that the product would come out in 12 weeks!

Kenny did an awesome job on my eyeliner! He listens and doesn't overdo the permanent makeup. Another client was leaving before my appointment and they showed me her eyebrows that she just had done. I don't like overdone eyebrows and was impressed about how good they looked, like an appropriate amount of makeup, done really well. The client told me she had cancer and lost most of her eyebrows from that. I was confused, as I could see that she had eyebrows. I responded that she still had a good amount. She beamed. Kenny had to explain to me that it was an optical illusion with the way he made little lines like eyebrows. My eyes were completely fooled! I was really impressed and had no idea what could be done with permanent makeup! Read Less

Ashley is by far the best hairstylist in San Antonio!!I saw Ashley for the first time about 5 months ago. My hair was grown out and brassy and all different shades of blonde. She spent 7 HOURS correcting the color; picking through each piece of my hair and foiling what needed foiling and being diligent to avoid all the random platinum strands. I was blown away - I have NEVER been to someone who cares enough to spend the time and the energy (and to do it happily!) to get the job done right. Every stylist I've ever been to has rushed me out in an hour and left me extremely disappointed. Not Ashley, she genuinely cares and will do what it takes to achieve the highest quality results. She is always upfront with you about what can be achieved in one session and doesn't ever try to steer you in the wrong direction. Fast forward to about a month ago - I believe I had a temporary bout of insanity when I decided to make the TERRIBLE mistake of seeing another stylist simply because they promised a next-to-nothing-price: Long story short: my hair got fried to pieces, breaking off everywhere, horribly (and I mean horribly) damaged and dis-colored. So I was back in Ashley's chair a few days ago, thinking surely there was no way out of this horrible conundrum I had gotten myself into. And she worked a MIRACLE!!! Not only me, but my friends/family/coworkers were BLOWN AWAY at the transformation! You would never know I had such awful hair before, I am still so amazed and incredibly grateful!Do yourself a favor and see Ashley, I promise she will amaze you. She's super fun and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. And she is always learning new techniques and technologies and getting featured in this article or winning that award, it's pretty awesome. Check out her Instagram too, she has a bunch of great before-and-afters and pics of her work so you can see for yourself! Read Less

I've had such an awesome experience over the years with Ashley and Kenny! Kenny did both permanent eyeliner and my eyebrows and they still look fantastic after a few years, with no pain during either procedure! From tattoos to permanent makeup, the results are always outstanding. I've had two appointments for my tattoo and both went really well. I used the topical numbing cream the first time and didn't feel a thing during the entire 3 hour appointment. I decided not to use the numbing cream this past weekend for the next session and he was extremely gentle, little to no pain during and after the appointment!Ashley has been doing my hair for almost 4 years and I couldn't ask for a better stylist. She is always in a great mood and makes me feel so comfortable. We chat before my appointments to go over what I'd like to do and she's always ready for a new challenge. Her energy and excitement for her profession is infectious, I love the fact that she continues to take classes and grow in her field! I am so lucky to have her as my stylist and friend. All in all, I couldn't be happier with their services and can't recommend them enough! Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment, you'll wish you had done it sooner! Read Less

I've always had dark hair and wanted to go lighter with bright color for as long as I can remember but was scared of my hair being damaged.

DO NOT GO HERE. This is the worst place ever. I went here for a simple dye job and left with half my hair burnt off. The girl who worked on my hair was Denise and she didn't know what she was doing at all. Not only did she completely burn off half my hair but she even tried to hide what she did by not telling me the extent of the damage. Then when I confronted the worker, they had the audacity to try and blame me. I was told the damage was my fault due to a chemical reaction between the dye I had used on my hair from a box over six months ago and the new dye they were putting in. It's pretty obvious that Denise tried to dye my hair with bleach (which I explicitly asked her not to use) and ended up leaving it in for too long. I was offered a bottle of shampoo and told to come back for a new appointment. How is that supposed to make up for the loss of my hair? I'm so completely disappointed by this entire experience. These ladies have no idea what they are doing. Don't go here at all if you care about your hair. Read Less

Had the worst experience of my life at this place!! Went there for a Brazilian Blowout with Jordyn and after almost 3 hours there, my hair didn’t look like I did anything, on top of everything when I washed I realized a big breakage on the back on my head! When I called to complain (of course as I paid $325 for it) Ashley was the one who replied my text and all the time she replied she never proposed that I come back so she can see it, no she just went on and on how it couldn’t possibly be the product, humm well I didn’t have that breakage before and even though my hair had some damage from previous treatment, the product was supposed to help with it, not make it worst!! All chemicals products if not well applied can cause damage, but the whole time all she did basically saying that it was my fault and not the stylist who applied the product!! Honestly for the price I paid, and how my hair looked, they really owed me some compensation or at least a treatment to recover the hair! And all she said in the end was that the product would come out in 12 weeks!

Kenny did an awesome job on my eyeliner! He listens and doesn't overdo the permanent makeup. Another client was leaving before my appointment and they showed me her eyebrows that she just had done. I don't like overdone eyebrows and was impressed about how good they looked, like an appropriate amount of makeup, done really well. The client told me she had cancer and lost most of her eyebrows from that. I was confused, as I could see that she had eyebrows. I responded that she still had a good amount. She beamed. Kenny had to explain to me that it was an optical illusion with the way he made little lines like eyebrows. My eyes were completely fooled! I was really impressed and had no idea what could be done with permanent makeup! Read Less

AK Lounge is not only visually stunning, but Ashley is my new hair style guru! Having my extensions done at AK with Ashley felt like being styled by one of my girlfriends. Her knowledge of "all things hair" is not only impressive, but hard to come by. The salon itself is so out of place in San Antonio, in the most amazing way!! It's the perfect combination of industrial artilary and femininity. With open ceilings and slate floors, there is a punky warehouse feel that makes you feel like you're "in the know".. but Ashley's feminine and soft touches give it the grace it needs to pull the funky posh salon together. This is for sure my new go to salon! And Ashley is my new go to stylist!! I wouldn't go anywhere else for extensions! Read Less

Had the most perfect hair experience of my life at AK Lounge. Brittany cut and colored my hair to the exact color I want to grow from my head naturally. The collaboration between Brittany, Courtney, and the master Magician, Ashley, was inspiring. Pictures have not been providing justice for the glory. Read Less

I had my 1st Brazilian Blowout with Ashley & it turned out amazing! I have to admit I was very excited & very nervous at the same time. I have very very curly hair & the difference afterwards was unbelievable! My hair was so soft, stick-straight & shiny. When I went to work the next day there were many double takes when I walked by my coworkers & "oh I didn't recognize you!" Of course it would definitely depend on how my hair turns out in the next couple of months as to whether or not I have another but I would highly recommend Ashley. Ashley is so cool & down to Earth. Mind you I spent a few hours in her chair BUT didn't realize it until after I was done because the conversation just made the time fly by! Definitely an experience I'll remember! Read Less

Ashley is by far the best hairstylist in San Antonio!!I saw Ashley for the first time about 5 months ago. My hair was grown out and brassy and all different shades of blonde. She spent 7 HOURS correcting the color; picking through each piece of my hair and foiling what needed foiling and being diligent to avoid all the random platinum strands. I was blown away - I have NEVER been to someone who cares enough to spend the time and the energy (and to do it happily!) to get the job done right. Every stylist I've ever been to has rushed me out in an hour and left me extremely disappointed. Not Ashley, she genuinely cares and will do what it takes to achieve the highest quality results. She is always upfront with you about what can be achieved in one session and doesn't ever try to steer you in the wrong direction. Fast forward to about a month ago - I believe I had a temporary bout of insanity when I decided to make the TERRIBLE mistake of seeing another stylist simply because they promised a next-to-nothing-price: Long story short: my hair got fried to pieces, breaking off everywhere, horribly (and I mean horribly) damaged and dis-colored. So I was back in Ashley's chair a few days ago, thinking surely there was no way out of this horrible conundrum I had gotten myself into. And she worked a MIRACLE!!! Not only me, but my friends/family/coworkers were BLOWN AWAY at the transformation! You would never know I had such awful hair before, I am still so amazed and incredibly grateful!Do yourself a favor and see Ashley, I promise she will amaze you. She's super fun and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. And she is always learning new techniques and technologies and getting featured in this article or winning that award, it's pretty awesome. Check out her Instagram too, she has a bunch of great before-and-afters and pics of her work so you can see for yourself! Read Less

I've had such an awesome experience over the years with Ashley and Kenny! Kenny did both permanent eyeliner and my eyebrows and they still look fantastic after a few years, with no pain during either procedure! From tattoos to permanent makeup, the results are always outstanding. I've had two appointments for my tattoo and both went really well. I used the topical numbing cream the first time and didn't feel a thing during the entire 3 hour appointment. I decided not to use the numbing cream this past weekend for the next session and he was extremely gentle, little to no pain during and after the appointment!Ashley has been doing my hair for almost 4 years and I couldn't ask for a better stylist. She is always in a great mood and makes me feel so comfortable. We chat before my appointments to go over what I'd like to do and she's always ready for a new challenge. Her energy and excitement for her profession is infectious, I love the fact that she continues to take classes and grow in her field! I am so lucky to have her as my stylist and friend. All in all, I couldn't be happier with their services and can't recommend them enough! Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment, you'll wish you had done it sooner! Read Less
