Our Approach
Established in the same location at 33rd & Pioneers for over 40 years, The Hair Lounge, LLC., began its vision in 2010 by owners Kendra and Lyle Trumbley. It was their dream to have a salon where team members could go to work and have fun. To be a part of something they could call their own. Kendra guides the team behind the scenes, working with over 34 years of experience. Our salon has provided hair care for the entire family as well as serving many generations. Doing so has made our salon a staple in the Lincoln, NE community. We are now proud to have expanded to include Executive Directors who can reap the rewards of salon ownership all while enjoying their careers. And Company Educators who can train our staff where and when we need it. The Hair Lounge truly is an experience in itself. We know you will enjoy our atmosphere as our stylists all share the same passion. Having fun and creating beautiful people!
WE GUARANTEE IT!
We always want you to be 100% satisfied with your services. If you are not 100% satisfied, we ask that you contact us within 5 days of your appointment so that we may schedule you to have your service(s) corrected free of charge (same service) at your convenience. Any issues reported longer than 5 days from the original appointment date will not immediately be considered a redo, but will be assessed on a case by case basis.
Meet the Team
At The Hair Lounge, we look for people who are outgoing, fun, and most importantly, have a passion for doing hair! Our team is here to serve you in any way they can. Take a moment to get to know our employees!
Kendra
Founder & President
You can find her coming and going. Training new professionals and occasionally, standing behind the chair, serving some of her long-time guests. If you've ever sat in her chair, be sure to say "hi" to Kendra Trumbley. Helping people to feel beautiful is a love, but growing people for a living is her passion. So, with opening two Lincoln salons, this is first and foremost a dream come true. Working in the hair industry for over 35 years, 23 of which she co-owned a multi-location company, it is important to her to give back to the staff and community who have supported her over all the years. Providing the opportunity for members of the salon family to become Executive Members with profit sharing, or commissioned professionals, coaching them on their continued path to success. Paying it forward each and every day while being thankful for all those along the way.
Mandy
Executive Director & Associate Stylist
Mandy has been a part of our salon team for over 24 years and is the Executive Director and an Associate Stylist at our 33rd & Pioneers location.

Mandy is an avid outdoors person and enjoys time with her husband and two girls. When she's not in the salon, you'll find her enjoying the outdoors and traveling to watch her daughter play softball. Being an Executive Director allows her to benefit from salon ownership and taking care of general salon operations. She has great time management, good conversations, a big heart and a small-town personality. Sitting in her chair not only gives you the experienced professional you're looking for, but you'll also leave feeling like you've made a new friend.
