Hair Salon Near Sun Lakes AZ | Studio Eighteen Hair Lounge
Studio Eighteen Hair Lounge • Serving Sun Lakes, AZ • Updated August 2026
Studio Eighteen Hair Lounge serves Sun Lakes, AZ from our Gilbert studio, a straight shot down Alma School Road. We're a full-service salon in Gilbert, and guests from Sun Lakes book with us for color, cuts, extensions, and styling.
Getting Here From Sun Lakes
South on Alma School Road to Riggs Road is the direct line from our Cooper Road studio into Sun Lakes, roughly 20 minutes with normal traffic. It's one corridor most of the way, not a string of turns, which is the detail guests actually want to know before they book a first appointment somewhere new.
About Sun Lakes, AZ
Sun Lakes is the 55-plus golf community south of Chandler that Robson Communities built out across five distinct neighborhoods: Oakwood, Ironwood, Cottonwood, Palo Verde, and the original Sun Lakes Country Club, which dates back to 1972.
Each neighborhood runs its own clubhouse, so residents are used to a community built around several hubs rather than one downtown. That same layout is why guests from Sun Lakes tell us they'd rather drive the 20 minutes to Gilbert than fight the crowds at a salon inside the community itself.
Between the golf courses, the walking trails, and the desert sun, Sun Lakes clients tend to ask us about color maintenance between visits and about styles that hold up outdoors. Those are normal front desk conversations here, not a special program.
Sun Lakes doesn't have a downtown of its own the way Chandler or Gilbert does. It's built entirely around its five clubhouses, so residents are already used to leaving the community for anything beyond groceries and golf. Driving to Gilbert for a haircut fits that same pattern instead of breaking it.
The community sits roughly 24 miles from downtown Phoenix, which is part of why Sun Lakes residents already orient toward the East Valley, Chandler and Gilbert included, for everyday errands rather than toward central Phoenix.
