About

Bay Vibrant Salon Studios works as a studio space rather than a traditional storefront. Its private one-chair studios are leased to beauty professionals, and clients book with the professional working in the studio they use. The entrance is through the green gates off Clay St or 9th St, or through the Swan's Market walkway, inside the courtyard at 936B Clay St.

The salon describes itself as renowned for curly hair expertise, and its listed menu reflects that focus, with a Curl Current group for cutting and styling curls alongside color, conditioning and treatment groups. The stated goal is helping every client look and feel their best.

Hours are 11 AM to 6 PM on Tuesday, 11 AM to 7 PM on Thursday and Friday, and 11 AM to 5 PM on Saturday; the studio is closed Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. Color appointments should be reserved two to three weeks in advance, and clients are asked to contact the salon with questions before booking a color service. The studio is not listed as kid friendly.

First-time clients booking services of $100 or more pay a non-refundable 50% deposit of the chosen service, which is applied toward that service. Services that take three hours or more also require a 50% deposit. Cancellation and no-show terms are set by the salon, so check them with the salon before booking. Accepted payment methods are check, cash, debit card, Discover, Visa and MasterCard.

Parking is metered on the street, with one-hour spaces on 9th St and two-hour spaces on Clay St, all on the Swan's Market block. The salon suggests paying through the ParkMobile app. A garage at 7th and Clay charges $10 on weekdays and $5 on weekends for all-day parking. The studio offers a snack bar and WiFi, and contactless check-in is available through the Vagaro app, opening 15 minutes before a scheduled appointment.

Private one-chair studios for beauty professionals, with curly hair cutting and color as a central focus.
