The Lab Lounge

The Lab Lounge was created by Neeko and Tanya Abriol as a hair salon and a shared space for hairdressers. The studio is in Beverly Hills on Wilshire Boulevard, and the founders describe themselves as celebrity hairstylists.

Haircuts with Neeko are booked as a single session. Chemical services, or a second person booked alongside a cut, need two sessions. Hair color is also offered, and new color clients are asked to email two photos of their current hair and three photos of the color they want before booking.

The business also works with hairdressers in other ways. Chair rental is available seven days a week, subject to availability, for stylists who hold a current cosmetology license, a Los Angeles business license and an approved application. Education is offered virtually, through online classes, courses and mentorship, and in person through classes and coaching. A 2025 tour with the founders is listed.

The Lab Lounge sells its own products through an online shop, including the MiraMe foam mousse, which the founders created. The business also partners with Re-Evolution, which works to reduce incarceration and recidivism in Los Angeles, and with Freedom + Fashion, which runs fashion and beauty programs for youth and women recovering from sex trafficking and domestic violence. It supports Makeover Chronicles, a self-care and makeover program for community leaders.

Built as a working space that combines client appointments, chair rental for hairdressers and ongoing education under one roof.
