"Phenomenal, amazing and epic are only a few of the words to describe my experience in working with the Barber Lounge for 'Taboo'," said Kimberly A. Ross, CEO of 3 Sixty Fashion Group, Designer for K. Antoinette Collection and Creator to Taboo.

This exclusive event was held at, and sponsored by, the Barber Lounge. The evening celebrated San Francisco's best and brightest designers, stylists and photographers. The event featured a Runway Show and Sample Sale with Lingerie & Swimwear Brand and K. Antoinette Collection™, designed by Ross.

Ross continued, "From the creative brainstorming sessions, to the enthusiasm and professionalism of the stylists and makeup artists; everything was flawless and in sync with my production. The hair and makeup took my swimwear and lingerie collection to a level way beyond my expectations. I look forward to many future collaborations with The Barber Lounge."

"The Economics of Art" forum was a benefit show on February 11, 2010, for San Francisco Fashion Week.

Primarily, the runway portion of the event was intended as a trial run for the hairstylists, makeup artists, interns, designers and models who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. The event at The Barber Lounge increased support from the local community and helped San Francisco Fashion And Merchants Alliance, Inc. to materialize the goals of their projected fashion show production. The organization's mission is to provide an open dialogue, to engage in a forum which discusses ideas about the economics of art. The series is focused on examining how to develop innovative solutions that address the impact of the nation's financial crisis on creative industries. "I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to you all for a successful event," said Owen Geronimo, SFFAMA, Inc's Founder. "I could have not done it without the dedicated team at The Barber Lounge. A MILLION THANKS!"

The Barber Lounge hosted a fundraiser "Bevan Dufty for Mayor San Francisco" where over 200 locals attended.

Guests enjoyed food, cocktails, DJ music and complimentary services from the Barber Lounge staff. Bevan is committed to running a grassroots campaign that focuses on putting San Franciscans first. "I support Bevan because he is very pro small business," said Greg Griffin, owner of the Barber Lounge. "He has been very supportive of the Barber Lounge. He put me in touch with the right people when I needed help with a massage zoning issue. I like his political ideals and believe that he has a great vision for the future of San Francisco."

For the second year in a row, About.com selected the Barber Lounge to host their annual Holiday Party.

John K - “Went to a 'Spa Holiday Party' at the Barber Lounge and couldn't have been more impressed. The ambiance is incredible. Top notch hair stylists, massage specialists, shaving gurus and nail ninjas are all ready to make you feel your best. After experiencing an incredible shave with a straight blade on my honeymoon in Sicily, I had to try it again. Cornelius is the man with the plan at the Barber Lounge. Cannot recommend him and the Barber Lounge highly enough.”

Our holiday art opening was a success with more than 200 guests enjoying champagne, cider and nibbles as well as some handy holiday gifts. Featured DJ Toph One and Red Wine DJs. Below are the SF rising art stars at the event. You can see their art beautifully displayed in our studio gallery:
