I've been seeing Brittany for about a year, and when I would re-balayage my hair, she did an excellent job filling in the gaps and maintaining my hair length/ health because she was able to build off of her own work. I later went and got blue hair from Brittany! She fully achieved my "mermaid goals" and told me what length and styling was best for my thin/ long hair type. I listened to her suggestions and we worked together to get my blue hair absolutely perfect! This is the only place in Blacksburg I fully trust with my hair color and cut.

The worst salon experience I've ever had, and I have had my hair accidentally dyed neon pink, and…read morefirst it went okay but I should've seen it as a warning sign, the woman kept reassuring herself that she was doing a good job and was picking out an ashy blonde to make my hair, what was supposed to be, a beautiful copper gold. After a lot of tears, the woman finally decided to do a toner, which helped but could only help so much since she made my hair look practically grey. This hair was supposed to be a honey golden blonde and turned out grey. What I asked for vs what I got all I wanted was the ends of my hair to match my roots and that was not what was delivered these stylists do not know how to simply match a color and I ended up with a green and grey hair. They are only challenging the review because I am young and salons who value their customers (every customer) would not come out and denigrate a customer rather than taking the higher road. You have good reviews, I apologize that mine is not one of them, but those interested deserve the opportunity to see all of the feedback.

I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves...I went to another salon in Blacksburg first…read more (Picture on the left) I requested only an inch be cut off and I wanted layers....well they took way more off than desired and no layers at all, in fact she angled the front with scissors and a razor. I guess that was their idea of layers. And they let me leave the salon looking like that. I called Rebecca the next day and said can you please fix my hair?!?! She got me in the next day and fixed it(the picture on the right)! It was so uneven and bad, but she did a great job with what she had to work with!! She is going to do my highlights tomorrow! Thanks so much Rebecca! Btw, anyone complaining about her dog is just looking for something to whine about. Lilo stayed away from us the whole time and I even asked her if he would sit on my lap, we tried, he had no interest and he went over to his bed and laid down. Sweet pup!

I will never return to Rebecca at Bliss. First of all, I do not like a dog trying to jump in my…read morelap while getting my hair done. I like animals, but not in a beauty salon. Secondly, Rebecca is very out-spoken and brags about her ability. And, then I have NEVER paid $27.00 for a hair cut before, not even in the salons in the Mall. That is highway robbery. Thus, to say, I won't be going back.

I had an appointment with Katelyn last night. I've had my fair share of misses. This was my best…read moreexperience with a stylist that I can recall!!! I'm happy to say Katelyn really gave me great service. She is very relaxing, very present. She communicates and listens really really well. I'm wearing a beautiful mane of silky tresses that had winter snarls eating my ends. And I've grown out my hair for 4 years. Lots of gray, silver, and some gold and ashy blonde woven into my hair now. It's mostly my hair. It's been looking dull and the tangles were ruining my ease of daily hair life. She cut off the exact amount needed before shampoo and I was relaxed at the sink. Water temp was perfect, neck didn't hurt. My hair is so soft and my color, without any treatment, already looks way better to me!! My final rave of appreciation for Katelyn's skills is that she followed me on everything I discussed. She explained the logic behind the simple cut now (growing bangs out) and going for the layers I'm looking for later. A+++! And she understood the touch of color, or more complex color ideas and we were in sync on what's next. The Consultation was really the best I can recall. She feels like she could do her magic in her sleep. She's very comfortable with what she does and she does it well.

My hair color was a light brown with golden/red undertones. I had spoken with my sister who is a cosmetologist as well as two other friends who work at hair salons and they all told me that what I wanted would be easy to have done and not be that expensive. I went into InStyle for the first time for my appointment with Jesse. I let her know what I wanted thinking there would be no issue and she immediately took on a very argumentative tone with me regardless of the polite tone that I speak to everyone in. She has no respect for her clients or their wishes whatsoever. I ended up getting a drab basic dark brown all-over color which costed my $125. Back in Jan. I had the same exact service done, an all-over color and cut, at Younique (which I suggest you go to instead) and it was only $95 and the service was infinitely better. I don't enjoy being yelled at by someone who I am paying - she honestly created a scene. I wish I had the guts to grab my bag and walk out the door the first time she started raising her voice and and talking to me so fast and aggressive. Also, I asked for an inch or two off my ends and she only dusted them with a minimal trim. I have never had this problem anywhere as most stylists cut off too much but I barely felt or saw the scissors touch my hair. She said this was because my hair was healthy, however part of her reasoning in not wanting to do the blonde pieces was that it would leave my hair damaged. I told her I had tried blondes in my hair before and it took the process well but she likely wasn't listening to me. Unbelievable. The other ladies that work there seemed like they would have given me equally unsatisfying service. This is honestly a horrible salon. The pictures on Google make it look ritzy and inviting but it is absolute trash I tell you.

I understand that there is some breakage when bleaching hair. I also understand that the process I wanted done would have been multiple steps and multiple appointments. She wouldn't even consider it. After she was too scared to lighten my hair ,I suggested she go darker and she refused that as well. I simply needed a change. I waited SIX months to sit in her chair. It sounds to me like she could use some more training. I waited to post a review to make sure that it was warranted. The fact that I'm still upset about it tells me it needed to be written. People look forward to their hair appointments. We pay A LOT of money for the time in the chair and the end result. Had she taken the time to listen to me, she would have realized I wasn't looking for perfection. Honestly its more about the "me" time and the experience of having my hair done than what the specific color(s) turn out to be. It's just hair to me. I even told her that. I'm constantly doing something new to mine. Point to this review: If you're looking for a new stylist, she's not your girl. I cannot speak to what the other two stylists do there. Being overly worried about your reputation can backfire. Give the customer what they ask for. *The photo is my hair in it's current condition. Still haven't had it done.
