About

Conscious Beauty was founded by Kathleena Gorga and works out of a suite at Ashira Salon on Solano Avenue in Albany, with an entrance on Carmel Street. The studio offers haircutting and styling, hair color, hair treatments, beauty services, on-camera hair and makeup, and EFT coaching.

Color is a central part of the menu. Services include highlighting, lowlighting and color blocking, using Kemon NaYo permanent color and Kemon COLORING demi-permanent color, which the salon says are imported from Italy. A plant-based option, Biolage Zero-Damage color, is also offered. Olaplex can be added to color formulas, and a demineralizer treatment is available to remove hard water mineral buildup that can interfere with color.

Beauty services cover brows, eyelashes, makeup and hair styling for special occasions, from prom nights to awards nights. Makeup and styling lessons teach clients how to apply their own makeup. The studio also provides hair and makeup for photo and video sets and press interviews.

EFT coaching sessions, workshops and makeup technique sessions are offered both in person and online. The studio sells natural, sustainable, cruelty-free hair care from Innersense and Rahua, and describes its focus as cut, color and earth-friendly products for healthy hair.

Booking is by phone or through the online booking system. Cancellations and rescheduling need 48 hours' notice. Without proper notice, a fee equal to the cost of the service may be charged, though exceptions are made for extenuating circumstances for clients in good standing. All major credit cards are accepted.

Focuses on healthy hair with earth-friendly products, and the salon states its color options contain no ammonia, PPDs or strong odors. Cutting and image work begin with a consultation.

The salon describes its space as tranquil and non-toxic.
