“This is the culmination of our love and passion for NEW Lounge. This milestone will not only highlight our roots as Filipinos, but also champion the heart, dedication, and collective stories of our Lash Dolls, the community and Filipino talent to the world,” NEW Lounge founder and Chief Executive Officer Rachelle Bravo said.

Under Bravo’s humble direction and the deft handiwork of homegrown Filipino talents and practitioners, NEW Lounge’s credibility lies in its client roster, having brought celebrities through the salon doors—a rolodex that has grown to include Heart Evangelista, Jessy Mendiola, and Laureen Uy among other fashion icons. Their star products have earned a lasting place in these celebrities’ routines, and now they’re generously providing it in Beverly Hills, expanding their “Lash Doll” universe. During their soft opening, the brand had already serviced celebrities Adriana Lima and Bella Poarch through home calls.

Landing in Los Angeles, a strategic and significant playground for beauty, luxury, and fashion, NEW Lounge is a one-stop salon for all things beauty and wellness—while also showcasing the art, heart, and talent of the Filipino.

LA’s Newest Pamper Haven

Los Angeles women want a polished, feminine look with a natural-looking glamor. NEW Lounge’s must-have formulas cater to that by extending the natural lashes, boosting its volume, all while resistinh lumping, flaking, and sometimes even rain, sweat, and tears. To match the busy yet lavish LA lifestyle, NEW Lounge developed an LA exclusive original design that gives your eyes a wispy, dramatic volume and beautiful, eye-brightening effect.

To complete your look, why now kick back, relax, and bask in the feeling of giving your fingertips a proper good tending with a mani-pedi done by NEW Lounge’s experts. For LA Lash Dolls, consider having your digits painted with the exclusive Aurora Nails, a “unique color-shifting design that intricately captures the light dance of the Aurora Borealis.”

A Milestone for Filipina beauty

“We are bringing in the best Japanese technology, merging it with Filipino hospitality, in a holistic customer journey. We call it the NEW Lounge Magic,” Bravo continued. This magic was first witnessed by several distinguished partners and personalities from the Philippines, Japan, and Los Angeles at NEW Lounge Beverly Hills’ grand opening.
