WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
Went before the big new year celebration for a cut and color. My hair was previously a red brown with blonde at the bottom. I wanted to cut off the blonde (about 3 inches) and dye it a chocolate brown color.
So to start the place is a mess inside and seriously needs some updating but if you can get past all that turn and run in the other direction. It was cheap and that was the only good thing about it. My color is uneven and patchy and the cut was completely crooked. I went to great clips the day after and had to pay to get the cut fixed it was that bad.
But it’s not even just that. The woman who did my hair was tall and super skinny wearing jogger sweat pants and couldn’t speak proper English if she tried. She talked over me and everyone else in the salon the whole time. Was swearing and complaining about her “baby daddy” and how he “don’t give her no money”. Completely unprofessional. And to make it worse she didn’t wear deodorant. So while she was cutting my hair I was forced to smell her BO.
Will never go back.

When my wife called to make us both hair appointments who clearly has a female voice and told the receptionist that she would like to make hair appointments for herself and her wife the receptionist began explaining it was an all female salon and do not do men's haircuts my wife then repeated herself that she would like to make appointments for herself and her wife and the receptionist said again said they do not do men's haircuts! So my wife told them to never mind and we will obviously not be using them. They are not LGBTQ+ friendly.

Locally owned and operated. I've been taking my daughter there since she was 9 years old. She's 16 now and still going there. We love Bonnie and all the rest.

Get over the fact that it looks like a garage from the outside, and a flea market inside. Then you can concentrate on what makes Carabel the best beauty shop in Lakewood - the personnel and what they do with hair.
If you can articulate what you want, they can do it, from simple classic cuts and sets to cutting-edge style and color. AND they do it for a reasonable price!
I've gone to other similarly priced places, and have never gotten the great looks that suit my face and lifestyle that I have gotten at Carabel. I used to pay double or triple at a boutique to get similar results. Now I just walk over to Carabel, put myself into the capable hands of Rose, knowing I'll get a style I can live with that looks both up-to-the-minute and flattering.
