Blue Velvet Salon

this is a salon that ultimately thinks it's much better than it is when getting my hair done the stylist did not do what was asked ,she simply did what was easier for her to achieve and still taking 3 hours , in need of an assistant she kept me in the chair for an ungodly amount of time did not do what was asked and did not tell me the price until the end of everything 250.00 for highlights that were not done properly a staff that was very slow and lax I would never go back, this is 2 thumbs down in my opinion, maybe hair cuts are ok but after all that time I really wanted out of the chair, I also heard a lady complaining of her bleach job and how it was so brassy the owner said it was supposed to be like that :( i would not recomend this place more

I saw the number of great reviews and tried out this salon - looking for a great place - since my hairdesser just left. I was a little off put by the terrible time I had finding parking - but tried to leave that behind .... Unfortuately. that was the best part of my appointment . Sadly , I had a really rough time- my stylist was really late, no one seemed to care and then after finally getting started- there was another delay . I tried to be positive thinking it isn't a big deal - my hair will be pretty. But after dying my hair I had dye left on my face ( not a look I could not recreate in the confort of my own apartment for 1/6th the price) that no one could be bothered to deal with. more

I am a guy who recently got a brazillian wax from Gwen. First off she is really cute which I thought might be a problem if you know what I mean. She was very professional at all times and explained everthything. Once you get past the akwardness and the positioning and the first initial pulling off of the hair, the procedure was not really bad at all. She was very fast and thorough and made conversation which made it extremely easier on me. I would recommend any guy that wants to do this to go see Gwen. Pros: Great customer service more

A girlfriend of mine along time ago got me into waxing my eyebrows..Truthfully I went routinely after that every 2 weeks! But I hated the pain and the swelling! It took forever to go down! But one day my best friend she tells me her hair salon does waxing also! So I went with her one day and thats when I met Gwen!!! Seriously I am a single guy who is not scared to admit to waxing his brows! I walk in and out of there in minutes and Ive never had such a great wax! There always the way I want them, She really knows how to take care of her customers! Seriously Ive gone to a few places to! Spent all kinds of amounts! Been through different kinds of pain! But Gwen Is gentle, kind and she does damn good work!!! Blue Velvet is very Lucky to have her! She Rocks!!! Im actually gonna get a facial from her soon too! I heard shes great!! But instead im buying my best friend hers! Pros: Everything! There the best! Cons: None! There Great! more

It has finally been one year since I was introduced to Blue Velvet Salon and I can't believe I found this awesome Salon. I was amazed to see the art work, the friendly welcomes, and the great taste of styles they each possessed! more

I went to Blue Velvet for a hair cut and color. I was nervous for a new stylist but immediately felt comfortable with Katrina. I like to add punky color streaks and these colors actually last and do not wash out right away. Katrina is amazing. She has so much experience and it shows. I leave the salon feeling beautiful. I recommend Blue Velvet salon to anyone wanting fabulous hair. more

The first review I wrote was very positive. I left with a great cut and great color despite the vibe of the salon. Second time I went back, I left somewhat disappointed but too shy to say anything. My hairdresser seemed ""off"". I think she's a doll and I would go back to her despite the not so great color and cut but the salon needs some serious etiquette lessons. Salons are notorious for being snotty..I get it but when I'm spending almost 200 plus dollars and I've spent 600 dollars on my hair, I do expect courtesy. To get my last appt, I called the salon 3 times. Finally a call back. When I went in for my appt, I was not welcomed. I let it go. When I left, I looked like I had my hair frosted and my hair was uneven, not quite the look I was going for. I also woke up the next day with a fungus hive infection that lasted two weeks and was told that I did get it from someone or something. I had something similar prior to my appt from stress, but nothing like what I went through. I left an emergency message on the voicemail of the salon for my stylist, whom I ended up speaking to but the salon never called me back. Today when I went to make an appt to have it re-done, I just felt unwelcomed again and felt I needed to compromise what I wanted in order to get it fit in. I'd rather be told someone is unavailable. I also left a message on their vm and emailed them for an appt- granted not with a lot of time- so that's my doing. Pros: NA Cons: Wanted to get out of there. Drove an hour to get there..Not worth it. more

Erin is AWESOME! She took me from brunette to ash blonde and it looks amazing. I have been coloring my hair for 10 years and this was the best yet. Can't wait to go back = ) more

I went in on a whim after reading the reviews on Citysearch and decided to get my legs waxed for the first time ever. The receptionist was really nice and got me a same day appointment. I only had to wait about 10 minutes, not bad. more

I have been going to Blue Velvet for years now. Since i'm a student and i'm on a budget i don't get to go as much as i would like to. I always see Heather and she is great! she is super sweet and takes her time to listen to you. Everyone is friendly and its a very relaxed environment. The art work on the walls is always changing, and they ofter beer and wine! If you want great hair go to Blue Velvet and see Heather! Pros: Friendly staff, cool salon, great hair more

I found Erin by chance in December (she had just started). She is fabulous! Ever since I have been going to her my hair has actually been growing without breaking off. She takes extra care in trying to keep your hair as healthy as possible while undergoing all the color and highlights. The time passes by quickly while you are in her chair as she is very personable. I recommended her to a few of my friends and they all love her too. If you are looking for a new stylist then you should definitely give Erin a try. Pros: Nice salon with great hours Cons: Parking-can be difficult at times more

I love Blue Velvet! The atmosphere reminds me of a slumber party and the stylists are very friendly. Megan is my stylist and I love the fact she took time to come sit with me while I waited and chatted with me about my hair, my routine and what kind of cut I wanted. The girls are chatty but not overly so, and it is just a great, relaxing atmosphere. The later hours (they close at 9pm some days) works for me since I can't make it in to the salon until after 7pm on weeknights. Pros: Ambience, staff is friendly but not pushy, prices are reasonable, service fantastic! Cons: parking is a little tight, but totally worth the hassle. more

This salon is great! everyone is friendly and the salon is really cute with lots of different art and cool things to look at. HEATHER did my haircut and highlights and my hair looks amazing! I got my eyebrows waxed by GWEN and she was fantastic too! Blue Velvet is such a cool salon, Im so glad i found them, i can't wait to go back! more

Funky cool salon atmosphere! Everyone was so friendly and productive. Erin gave me a great cut and color. She is a true artist! Love it:)! Pros: Very friendly salon experience! more

I came into blue velvet a burnette wanting to be a blonde... Pros: coctails, cool art work. great leopard print wall! and Heather! Cons: can't think of any more

I have been going to Heather for years and she is the best! she always takes time to talk to you about your hair, how it has been, and any new concerns.... If your interested in a color change she always goes over the color books with you and helps you find the perfect colors for your skin tones. i always feel like Heather really cares and wants me to be happy and look beautiful when i leave. Heather is great at both color and cutting, I have never been disapointed. She is also really down to earth, she isn't one of those stylist that and talk about themselves! She's also a great listener! go see Heather and you will not be disapointed! Pros: Great color, great cuts and blowdrys! art is always changing! cocktails! great products Cons: nothing.... parking sometimes in the afternoons is hard because of the lunch crowd at the resteraunts... more

To be fare, I found my experience pretty good. My stylist was really nice and my hair came out great. They are really busy so they're not really in your face waiting on you hand and foot, just down to earth people and a very relaxed atmosphere. If your into being waited on this is not your place, but it is full of talented girls, lots of great hair walking out. That's most important to me, I want to look good! As for the gossip..IT'S A HAIR SALON! They served me a Pabst, that was cool. Pros: Really good color for a really good price, open late Cons: Parking is a bit of a problem more

I came to this salon based on reviews that I had read and wanting a salon in my area. The staff was more interested in gossiping amongst themselves than helping me with my needs and tried to upsell me products that i did not need. My haircut was aweful and the color was not much better. I would rather drive out of my way to the city, than come here again. I would highly recommend the entire staff to take a course in Customer Service... Pros: not sure i can think of any Cons: parking horrible, staff rude, more

I felt like it was not very proffessional. My stylist very late. I wanted to like it by reviews but my experience was so so. Pros: reasonably priced cuts Cons: no parking, late stylist more

Best hairsalon with edgy and talented stylists. The music and the vibe could'nt be better. All services are reasonably priced and well worth it. A relaxed enviroment for men and women alike. Pros: everything Cons: nothing more
