The Lab Hair Studio

The Lab Hair Studio has been operating in Clermont since 2014 and describes itself as a full service salon. Its owner, Christine Notartomaso, has been a salon owner in Clermont for 10 years and has worked as a hairstylist for about 20 years. The salon is a Paul Mitchell Focus Salon and works extensively with Paul Mitchell products.

The salon describes its mission as cheerful, creative and passionate service built on teamwork, with the aim of enhancing clients' lives from the outside in. It calls itself a community with a heart, where every client should feel welcomed, valued and understood. The space is described as intimate and inspiring, and reviewers on the homepage describe the atmosphere as welcoming and uplifting. The salon says its stylists are chosen for their skill and their passion for their craft.

Color is a major part of the menu, including partial foils, hair painting, balayage and corrective color. Other services include haircuts for all, hairstyling, formal updos, keratin treatments, deep conditioning, relaxers and hand tied extensions. Hand tied extensions start at $150 per row, and a consultation is offered before booking. The team also has experience in massage, formal makeup, lashes and facial waxing.

Community work is part of the salon's identity. The Passion Project is a mobile salon that offers haircuts, hairstyling and makeup, and it partners with The Neighborhood Center of South Lake. The project plans to add hygienic and color services once the mobile salon is operating. The salon also keeps an on-site food pantry that accepts canned goods donations.

Stylists take part in continuing education provided by industry leaders.

An intimate, inspiring space that reviewers describe as welcoming and uplifting.
