LOVE MY HAIRCUT!

by Miss Jones at Citysearch

Let me first say...Heather is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!

I came into the Blue Velvet Salon with a serious hair problem last week and came out looking like a million bucks. Heather gave me the cutest, funkiest, bleach blonde short style out of a mass of unkept dreadlocks! How she did it....well, you'll have to ask her, but she nailed it. I absolutley love the cut & color. It's fun, edgy and so easy to work with! I get compliments daily on the new DO! She was fun to get to know as she tackled my hair issue too. Professional, efficient and comfortable was my experience. I will continue to go to Heather and the Blue Velvet Salon for all my future hair needs! THANKS GUYS!

So happy with my hair, Thank you Heather!

by JLJames at Citysearch

I just found out all my co-workers go to this Salon and see a girl named Heather. I was in desperate need of hair maintenance and itching for a new style, so i made a appointment.

The salon itself is very cute, i felt very at home. Heather is a peitte blonde Gwen Stefani - esque girl, super nice and knowledgeable! I brought in lots of pictures and ideas, I wanted to go from a dirty blonde to red. Heather was really excited for the change and totally up for the challange.

With color done, she re-layer my growing out hair and did a beautiful blowdry. My hair turned out better then i could ever imagined, absolutely gorgeous!!! I'm so happy. Thank you so much Heather!

FINALLY, A GOOD SALON

by lily238 at Citysearch

I've tried many different salons, but none of them have made my hair look amazing while also offering great service. I have gone to Anna for a color and cut as well as extensions, and so far she's never let me down. She is patient while she is working on your hair. Let's face it, some of the people out there just rush and ruin your hair. That happened to me before but ever since Anna did my hair, I never have that problem. I highly suggest having Anna work on your hair. =)

Wedding Perfection

by ohlaurel77 at Citysearch

I couldn't have picked a better team of hair stylists for our wedding. Katrina and her crew perfected each of our vintage hair styles. She created the perfected curls for my 40s look....On the first trial session, she took the time to figure out which curling method would be best for my hair. On the second trial, she used those curls and created the sample do. There were no issues on the actual wedding day....my hair looked perfect. The other bridesmaids and both mothers looked fantastic as well. Her styles are classy and age-appropriate. Blue Velvet is in a league of their own. Thanks again for everything gals!
