ABOUT….beauty bar boutique | b3
In 2008, there was a vision to create a high-end hair salon with an upbeat atmosphere and city feel, to provide the best in hair styling to those who crave an upscale experience by professional artists.
The decor and product lines offered are particularly chosen to set the salon apart in the local beauty industry of Wilmington, North Carolina. Our stylist team is a blend of high talent from cities across the country, each bringing their own skillset and unique stylistic touch to the consistently beautiful hair that walks out of the door of Beauty Bar Boutique. Our staff is dedicated to delivering top customer service that is warm, welcoming, and accommodating to each and every customer.
We welcome you into our salon inspired by The One Hotel in South Beach, Miami. Refresh yourself with an espresso, sparkling water, or a glass of wine. Awaken your senses with ORIBE’s signature scent of sandalwood, jasmine, and bergamot extract as your hair is nourished, enlightened, and transformed. Let us paint in some sun-kissed brightness or dimension-adding lowlights from our Goldwell or Redken color lines, or go bold using vivids and pastels from Pulp Riot. Fight the humidity and live a little easier with a Keratin Complex treatment. Indulge in farm-to-bottle hair masques from DAVINES.
Whatever it is, we’re here for YOU :)
