Carlyle Salon Expands
Carlyle Salon and Style Bar, a popular hair salon in downtown Santa Barbara, has expanded with a new venture: the Corner Room at Carlyle. Located adjacent to the established Carlyle Salon, the Corner Room is a private suite primarily dedicated for bridal parties, yet also available for an array of innovative and exclusive events. The new space is a natural extension of the 11-year-old salon, which has catered heavily to the wedding market since its inception. The expansion marks the reality of a dream for owner Lisa Gaede, whose career as a hair stylist spans three decades in Santa Barbara and Montecito.
“The Corner Room elevates the concept of a personalized styling experience,” said Gaede. “We hope this personal space becomes the destination of choice for bridal parties seeking top-tier hair and makeup styling in an intimate setting.”
With an abundance of natural light and approximately 600 square feet of open space, the Corner Room can accommodate up to 15 guests comfortably. The room is equipped with four salon chairs, several make-up stations, cozy couches, a small conference table, separate changing room, and an elegant beverage bar with mini-fridge, espresso maker, tea service, and more. “It’s a stress-free environment that also allows photographers to capture beautiful pre-wedding prep photos,” Gaede said.
Beyond bridal parties, Gaede’s plans for the space include pop-up shops featuring the wares of local artisans, including clothing, jewelry, custom hats, and skincare. The space will also host various workshops and offer discounted rental availability to local nonprofits in need of meeting space.
Clients will have access to Carlyle Salon’s team of hair and makeup artists, known for their skill and ability to craft personalized looks that resonate with each individual’s unique style. The salon also has access to a trained team of freelance artists, ensuring that everyone in the bridal party is accommodated without long waiting periods.
The Corner Room is equally suited for a diverse range of private events, from milestone celebrations like Sweet Sixteen birthdays, baby showers, and other special occasion gatherings. From basic room rental to fully staffed with meal service, Carlyle offers a range of options to meet various budgets.
“The space is truly for the community, housing pop-up shops featuring local artisans, community workshops, and offering attractive rates to nonprofits in need of meeting space,” Gaede said.
Carlyle Salon and the Corner Room are located at 350 Chapala Street, Suite 101. For more information, contact info@carlylesalon.com, or visit www.carlylesalon.com.
