What they're saying about us
"Having always wanted to be more blonde than nature intended, finding The Glam Lounge was like coming home for me. My personal coup occurred at my high school reunion this year when my husband could not recognize me in my senior picture - he had no idea that my hair is naturally quite dark and mousey. Dawn and Justin are talented, charming and make every visit something to look forward to. I always tell them that if I ever win the lottery I will be coming to The Glam Lounge every week! I can also recommend their services for styling you on your wedding day. It can be stressful getting everyone ready to march down the aisle but Dawn and Justin will have you and your family/friends/attendants laughing, relaxed and looking beautiful and camera ready!"
"The staff of Glam Lounge is amazing! About an hour after I arrive to have my hair and makeup done for my wedding I got a phone call saying that there was going to be a demonstration at the park in downtown Raleigh where I was having my wedding. Not only did the ladies from Glam Lounge tell me it was going to be okay, Rachael actually drove me around Raleigh looking for a new location while my mother and bridesmaid continued to get their hair done! I don't know what I would have done without them. Not only did my hair and makeup come out amazing, but the staff of Glam Lounge went above and beyond to make my wedding day the best day ever. Dawn, Rachael and Lauren are all amazing and worth every penny!"
"I have been going to the Glam Lounge for 6 years and I love them. Justin always knows what to do with my hair even when I am not sure. My cut and color are always perfect when I am done and it is easy to maintain."
"Dawn at has been doing my hair for years. I could not imagine going anywhere else. Her talent is the best of the best. My color and styles are superior each and every time I go. Dawn and Justin are so much fun and the salon is great! I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed!"
"Dawn and Justin are incredibly talented with hair cuts and color, not to mention styling. They have been invited to events at Sundance Film festival and the Golden Globes! They are real people and though the salon is rated tops in the Triangle, they are down to earth and make getting a hair cut a relaxing and fun experience. The Glam products are fantastic too. I really love the shampoo and conditioner. I feel great about supporting these local entrepreneurs. They do not disappoint!"
"Such a fun and educational experience. Have been going to Dawn since she first started doing hair. Really appreciate her knowledge and superior training with so many International Competitions and being on the US Team and bringing back the medals. Always pleased with the outcome! So worth it!"
"Dawn is fabulous. I really enjoy having such a talented hair stylist. I leave happy after every appointment. The atmosphere is casual and down to earth for such upscale service. If you are considering going...consider no more you really can't go wrong with Dawn or Justin."
"I have been a loyal client for years, and have never had a bad 'do. everyone is so nice and accommodating, and i never feel uncomfortable. i've been to many salons where the atmosphere is stuffy and snobby, and glam lounge is the complete opposite of that. you will be glad that you spent the time and money!"
"If I could afford it - I'd be there every week!"
"The Glam Lounge is a quaint little salon on West. I have been a client since the grand opening. Justin Dare and Dawn Bender are both experts at their craft. They have had celebrity clients and been asked to travel across the country to do weddings, etc. They also do a lot of fashion shows and teach classes at local universities. They are both extremely talented and really listen to their clients. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun. It is somewhat pricey but no more than any other upscale salon and you get what you pay for!"
"Small salon with a pleasant atmosphere. Experienced and skilled stylists."
"I have been a client for 6 years and by far it is the best cut and color I have ever had. Justin always knows what to do with my hair and keeps my look fresh."
"I Love Glam Lounge - Justin does a fabulous job with color and cuts. Haven't tried Dawn. Have been a client for years and always happy."
"The best cut and color ever."
"If you are looking for a long-term home for your hair needs - this is the place. Before finding Dawn and Justin it seemed I could find stylists that were creative and talented but they were always canceling appointments or running 45 minutes late. I also found many stylists that were reliable and on time but who lacked the technical knowledge and talent. Dawn has been cutting and coloring my hair for over 6 years now and I will never, ever go anywhere else. The Glam Lounge is also great for your wedding day hair and makeup. Justin had my mother, my friends and me relaxed and laughing as he got me ready for my big day."
"Such talented stylists and such a comfortable atmosphere. Have been going to Dawn for quite some time and really appreciate how she has honed her craft through international competitions. Always pleased with the outcome."
"Best hair salon on the East Coast!"
"WOW... this place is amazing!!! Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly and fun people, amazing talent and I could go on and on. Dawn has been doing my hair for years and I could not imagine going anywhere else. I never have to say a thing.... my color and cut are always perfect and I leave more than pleased every time. From long hair to short hair and back to long, Dawn has made me feel fabulous with each "do" she has given me. I highly recommend Glam Lounge... you will not be dissappointed!"
"I have been a client of Justin's for 5 1/2 years, since I moved to Raleigh from NYC. He has color down to a science and has the ability to make any woman feel fabulous with a new haircut. I recently tried Dawn and fell in love with her talent as well. A fantastic cut and springtime color to boot. I continue to recommend Glam Lounge to any hair-obsessed friends. You won't be disappointed!"
"Best cut and color ever!"
"Amazing talent at fantastic salon"
"If you want to be assured you like your style and color EVERY time I suggest you give Dawn or Justin a try. I have been a client of Dawn's for over a year and I absolutely love that I can go in with no idea what I want to do and come out pleasantly surprised every time. They have also taken the time to develop their own hair products which are fabulous."
"I have been going to Justin at the Glam Lounge for 6 years. He always knows what to do with my hair. The cut and color are always perfection. I m very picky about my hair and no one has ever been as good as Justin. He keeps my hair looking natural and healthy."

"I have been a client of Justin's for 5 years, even before Glam Lounge got it's start. His ability to cut, style and color is fantastic. I looked around Raleigh for the perfect hair stylist for a long time after I moved here. I am thrilled with Glam Lounge. Well worth the money; they make cuts grow out so beautifully. I recently had Dawn cut and color my hair and was delighted with her talent as well. You can't go wrong here!"
