Blue Door Salon

I have a pretty open mind about new places I try. This salon wasn't so great. First, there's a pest problem: there were big, cuckarachas in the bathroom, around the sink area. Second, the owner brings her kid to to the salon, so you've got a little kid running around. Maybe she's marketing childcare services in addition to bad hair jobs. My hair was cut too short and my dye job lasted less than a month. I wouldn't recommend this place. more

I was referred to Corina by a friend and I do not regret listening to her advice!! The first time I went in, I was a bit hesitant because I had gone to a different salon where I got a great hair cut. I told Corina that I only had one requirement in mind and other than that, she could do what she thought would work. Everyone loved it. So I definitely didn't cancel the 2nd appointment we had set up. The 2nd time, I told her that I wanted to cut my hair from shoulder length to chin length and it turned out beautifully!!!! This last time, it was to trim it back up to the previous length. Corina listens to what you want and if she has ideas about what would make your vision better, she tells you and usually they sound way better than what you already had in mind. There are no sales pitches for products or any pressure to make referrals. The salon is not difficult to find and so far I've never had any problems finding parking. I would highly recommend Corina to anyone who is looking for a new stylist. more

I moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area nine years ago and have been trying to find a hair stylist here in town that really listens to what I want, but is creative at the same time. I have very difficult hair to work with and I am a perfectionist when it comes to my hair cut and color. After hours I am a local violinist so I want to look good on stage. I tried several of the number one rated salons in town and was not satisfied. Then I found Mika. Initially I went to see him at Lotus Salon. I was so pleased with the results, I have followed him to the Blue Door Salon. At my Initial Visit to see Mika my former hair stylest (from the number one salon in town) had left me with super short bangs, and fried blonde hair. Mika has been working with me the past couple years and now for the first time in years I am getting comments about how great my hair looks from strangers on the street, coworkers, and people who see me in concert. I am in the middle of a horrible custody battle, and my ex-husband's attorney ran up to me after one of our Court Appearances to ask who does my hair. I am still blonde, but for the first time in years my hair feels and looks great. Mika came up with a style that is not only creative, but works for my curly difficult hair. So far my experience with the Blue Door Salon has been very pleasurable. It is upbeat, lively, and the staff is very curteous and friendly. I higly recommend it to everyone I know. Pros: There is a parking lot available behind the salon Cons: I have to go elsewhere for the products that my hair stylist recommends more

I totally agree bwildered1 100% that whoever is writing these negative comments about the Blue Door Salon and Jade, are just disgruntled employees. I have been going to Jade since she was at Hair to Dye For and once she opened up her own salon, I was there with her! She is great and knows hair. I would highly recommend Jade to all my friends (actually, I already do that.) So all of you with the negative comments, go and get a life. more

Are you people sure you are at THE BLUE DOOR. I agree with the woman who said these must be disgruntled employees writing these bad reviews. I have never seen or experienced what has been said about Jade or her salon. A prima donna, Jade, no way! Jade grew up very modestly and has worked very hard for what she has. She is a smart, kind, strong woman who makes me laugh so hard every time I go in, plus I get a great cut and wonderful color too. I am a forever customer! And about the chemicals around a baby, you are putting them on your head, a quarter inch from the brain you don't use and you are worried about a baby several feet away DUHHHH!!!! And Barbara, who gets perms anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: Free parking, prices, friendly atmosphere Cons: make another appt immediately after one, takes awhile to get in more

I have been to this salon a few times and overall, I would recommend another salon for your hairstyle needs. I ask for a specfic style and the end result is never what I had in mind. It seems as though there are new stylists each time I go and I wonder why there is such turnover. Although the appointment should be about 2 hours, I always wait and never get out before 3-4 hours. Pros: location, products Cons: too hot or too cold, bad color, the wait more

If you want a good, cheap salon and you don't have a lot of money, I think this place is great. I moved here from Bakersfield and this place is as good as it gets! Pros: Free parking!. more

Went in for a touch-up on my highlights--was assured the owner was very educated and knew how to do complicated platinum highlights interwoven with blonde honey amber hues. Whoa! I ended up looking like Barbie with brassy, dull strands of straw! I may as well have had a haystack on my head. No, no, no--never again will I come back to this place--UGH! Nightmare on Haystack Street! Pros: Parking lot empty Cons: Misleading Experience, Bad Highlights, Bad color job more

My hair; long, shiny, thick, healthy, styled, highlighted and very beautiful. In style and looking awsome. This is what I get at the Blue Door Salon. Mother of three, no time, I depend on Jade. For 13 years I have depended on Jade to keep my hair healthy. Why 13 years? hum..... maybe cuz she's reliable, comfortable to be with, excellent in her practice, commits to her clients, extremley sharp in business. Her accomplishments in life definately shows, she works hard to be successful. ***completely satisfied**** and for those neg. remarks below. Slandering may make you feel good on occasion but it gets you no where in life. I highly recommed this place.............. judge for youself. Pros: location, cost, quality more

I have been going to this salon since it opened. I was one of there first walk in customer. I moved away for awhile, and when I moved back I called the salon to see if they could fit me in, the girl that had cut my hair for 2 years was still there and when I sat in that chair it felt like home. I sat there and didn't have to say a word she just knew what to do I have been to other salons in other states and spent anywhere from $15.00-$45.00 it didn't matter I never got a good cut. I am happy to be back. So when I heard about these bad reviews I had to post something.Those people must be crazy! To everyone who works there keep up the great work. Pros: great prices, fun atmosphere, relaxing more

Nine years ago, Jade was a smiling, friendly young girl handing out samples and price lists at the Downtown Plaza. When she walked into my place of employment, I thought it was fate! I'd just moved to Sacramento and needed a new stylist. I scheduled an appointment the next day, and I've been a satisfied client ever since. Jade is so much fun, and her skills are unmatched. I'm so proud of the way she's built her business! I just had my highlights done tonight, and I must say, I look amazing! :D Pros: Jade I <3 Jade!, drinks offered, nice salon Cons: None more

I think this place needs to have a warning sign in front of its steps. Warning: not for the faint of heart, NOT GUARANTEED to leave this place attractive and more than likely, DEFINITELY looking like an electrified poodle after a spiral perm. Don't get your hair permed here unless you're going to a HALLOWEEN PARTY and your costume is an UGLY DOG! Pros: parking lot always, empty Cons: bad perms, they don't listen, no style more

I have been a customer of the salon owner, Jade, for the past 5 years. I can't begin to explain the talent she posseses when it comes to color. In my opinion she is truly the BEST! I live in the Fair Oaks area and take the drive down to J Street every 5 weeks because of her talent. My 12 year old daughter also gets her hair done by Jade and refuses to go anywhere else. If you are looking for a good Salon in the Sacramento area, this is it!! Pros: Great Cut & Color, Professional, Friendly Cons: None more

I'm glad they ply you with beer here before they do your hair. The buzz from the alcohol will lessen the horror of staring at your crispy hair after it's gone thru their dye processing. The prices are good which I think explains why the experience level is not there. Pros: Cheap , free drinks Cons: inexperienced staff, awful, loud music, push to buy products more

I'd just like to say that if your looking for a new salon, then this is the one. It has a great staff,a wonderful fun and friendly atmoshere and they have a good selection of products, the owner Jade,my hairstylist is a awesome person with a very funny sense of humor. I give this salon a 10 Pros: friendly, product selection, skilled staff more

I have been a customer of the Blue door salon for approx 6 yrs. I am a cutomer service expert and definetly know a good thing when I see it. After a long day of work in the Financial Industry its good to kick back with a huge variety of magazines..beverages and good company and lots of smiles at the Blue Door salon. My husband insists that I take the drive from Roseville to J street because jade (owner and stylist supreme) makes me so beautiful! I love the Blue Door salon and highly recommend it for all your beauty needs. PS they have specials on all salon products that are a great deal and packaged nicley for gift giving! Yeah Blue Door! Pros: Great Value, friendly service, talented more

I have gone to many salons in the Sacramento area, but they could never give me what I want. I was referred to the Blue Door by a family member and have been going every since. I immediately noticed the difference. As soon as I walked through the door I was offered a beverage of my choice (free). The staff has always been very friendly and helpful with my ever-changing hairstyles (cut, dye, highlight etc.). Sooo many people ask me where I get my hair done and of course I refer them to the BEST PLACE IN TOWN.....BLUE DOOR! This is a place where the stylists know what they are doing. P.S. Most Relaxing Shampoo Ever!!!! Pros: Relaxing evironment, Skilled and Friendly, affordable more

I am a long time customer of the Blue Door Salon and will be for life. Numerous stylists in the salon have provided me with cut and color over the years and I have always been extremely pleased with the level of service and skill I have received not to mention the warm and inviting atmosphere, professionalism, and friendliness of the staff. I was shocked to read the negative reviews!! I have referred a number of friends and family to the salon over the years and they, as I am, will continue to be returning customers. Even if we try somewhere else, we always end up back at the Blue Door because it is difficult to find another salon that meets our high expectations. I have nothing but praise! Keep up the great work! more

I've just had my hair done at the blue door salon and I absolutely love it (blonde highlights). It's funny because after reading the three negative reviews, it doesn't even sound like the same place! The staff was so polite and helpful, I was offered my choice of beverages, (including wine and beer, which I've NEVER been offered before in a salon), and there is free parking. The negative reviews sound more like disgruntled ex-employees rather than real people who actually went there for a haircut. In my opinion, I think the Blue Door is one of the better salons I have been to in recent years and the ex-employees need to get a life and move on. Pros: GREAT hair services, Drinks!, Free parking more

I was referred to the salon by a friend. It was my first time there and the staff was great, and greeted me right when I walked in. I had a picture of what I wanted but didn't need it because my haristylist gave me a haircut and color that fit my lifestyle and my budget. I have rebooked several appointments since it took me 2 months to get in. Everyone was very nice and I did not hear any gossip about anyone. Everyone was very professional. Pros: clean, talented, relaxing Cons: takes to long, to get an appt. more
