Great for men!

by Ldiggity

Love this salon! As a man it can be uncomfortable to find a new Salon, but Blue Velvet eases you from the start. The decor is awesome, the staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and the haircuts the bomb! Go see Chelsea especially, and try a Brazilian Blowout. You won't be disappointed. I wasn't.

• Pros: Awesomeness

Thank you Heather!

by jeneelove

After moving to the North Hollywood area from Nebraska, I was dreading having to find a new hairstylist. My new Co-worker referred me to see Heather at Blue Velvet salon, and I have been a loyal client ever since.

I have light hair but i like blonde highlights, she gets my hair beautiful blonde everytime. She also gives me great cuts and is always suggesting new ideas, like adding some low lights or bangs, so i never get bord.

Heather is a cute tiny girl with blonde, blonde hair, who is so friendly and always happy to see me, she really enjoys what she does.

• Pros: really casual, evening apointments, really reasonably priced
• Cons: parking can be tricky

The Best

by tismeeh

I've explored several salons in the last few years, and one day I just decided to pop into Blue Velvet. I always thought this place was really cute when I passed by so one day I looked online at their website and decided to go in for a shot. I thought to myself, whats the worse that can happen? Come out bald?! YIKES! OK,well I guess that IS probably one of the worse thing that can happen!!!! haha But I took my chances.

I remembered seeing a stylist with extremely blond hair (Heather).... since I wanted white blond hair myself, I thought she would be the best stylist for me - assuming that since she didn't burn her head bald by going blond, that my precious head will be safe in her little hands.

Well since that day, this has been my salon for the past 2 years and Heather is my girl! She's awesome. She has taken my hair to extremes when I wanted it and toned it down when I was over it. The stylist I went to before at a different salon was too afraid to take risks. That might suit some people, but not for me. Blue Velvet is great and if Heather ever decides to move to another salon for any reason, I am following her!

Btw... The owners dog Andy is so adorable. Every so often I have the pleasure to see that little guy there.

• Pros: No pressure to buy products over. Salon makes you feel at home.
• Cons: parking

Best haircolor/cut ever!!!

by bunnydurden

I went to Anna for the first time yesterday, which was scarey because I'm very particular about my hair. My old stylist lives to far from me, and she really only did an okay job anyway. I found all of these raving reviews on citysearch and I decided to try them out since they are so close to my house. Anna highlighted my hair like I've never seen before... no blotchy color, no brassiness, no repeat application of bleach. My hair turned out ash blonde, bouncy, and beautiful! My boyfriend is as picky as me, and he even raved about it! If you want perfectly blonde hair with no bullsh**, see Anna immediately!!!

• Pros: All
• Cons: None

BEST HAIRSTYLIST EVER!!!!!

by Nunu20

Anna is the best hairstylist I have ever had. She is simply astonishing. She has been doing my hair for 3 years now. I had different hairstyles done by her. She took me from brown to blond, from blond to brunette, from short to long extensions, and all of it looked amazing. She is they type that wont talk your ear off, she lets you relax and enjoy your day at the salon. She won?t lie to you just to get a hairstyle done, she will tell you the truth of what style will compliment your face and trend. I HIGHLY recommend her. Also, the salon had an amazing vibe!

• Pros: Late hours.
• Cons: Nothing

YAY!!!! I love my hair!

by NanaFace

I went into this salon on a Tuesday, being early in the week I was kinda tired and not so pumped about getting my hair done and sitting in a chair for hours. I was greeted right away by a friendly stylist and got my hair done by Chelsea. She's the best! I am now the proud owner of custom mixed blue/turquoise highlights! I get a lot of compliments on my hair and have recommended Blue Velvet to everyone I can...

• Pros: Awesome, amazing looking hair...
• Cons: Not one....

GREAT salon!! Bryan is a ROCKSTAR!!

by JackSchmack

I love this salon! All the people there are so friendly and it has a great vibe. I felt so at home. I have been going to Bryan for at least 5 years. He is amazing with color/cut and has the best training you can get. I was wasting my money til I found this guy. For what he charges I feel like I am getting an AMAZING deal. I have landed many jobs for modeling and they always tell me my hair is really awesome, and ask where I get it done. I am happy to refer anyone! You won't be disappointed. He doesn't take walk-ins so be sure to call ahead and make and appointment!!!

• Pros: Artsy vibe, icey beverages, fun location, easy access to freeways and major streets.
• Cons: Parking lot in back but popular spot so get there a little early.

Bryan is the BEST!!

by LadyBeeSquirrel

I have been a committed customer of Bryan Cummins for over 6 years now! He is amazing. What I love about Bryan is that he is truly talented and creative. He gives me cuts that last and is also very good at color. And best of all I always feel so beautiful after he has done his magic. My sister, mother, boyfriend and various friends now are customers and fans of his work. Which also goes to show he can do a variety of styles, shapes and colors. I highly recommend Bryan to anyone who is looking for a hairdresser that is talented, kind and fun. And the Blue Velvet salon is great environment. Everyone has a smile.

• Pros: Byran rocks, the enviroment is friendly, talented hairdressers
• Cons: some parking in the back, but still tricky
