    April '21 - fantasy color by Ryanne
    Jade M.

    I can't say enough good things about this salon. The environment, the employees, the general vibe. I've had 3 appointments with Ryanne over the past year, each one having a better experience than the next. I've not only found a stylist, but a friend. I've received haircuts, root lightening, and all over fantasy color. You get what you pay for - absolutely stunning, top tier quality hair that looks so insane people might it's fake. I recommend Katie Blue to anyone and everyone!

    Omg. The best stylist in Richmond works here!! Do not go anywhere else. Hannah is an angel, she's so cute and she KNOWS hair! She does my gray streak and cuts my hair and honestly, I've never seen better work. The salon itself is super adorable and the vibe is amazing. The whole staff is sweet and they always have cookies put out (bonus!). Plus it's in Carytown which is always super convenient!

    Had the best experience here today with Melanie! I am always a nervous wreck when I get my haircut and haven't been able to find someone I can fully trust going to. Today Melanie changed all of that! I have pretty long hair and wanted a longer shag hair cut with curtain bangs. She greeted me and was so sweet and listened to all my feelings including the anxiousness. She talked me through the whole thing and made sure to show me how my hair would look when I actually do it at home before curling it. She really took the time to actually do my hair right and it was amazing. I'm so happy to say I actually have a hair stylist I can trust and will 1000% be going back to! Thanks Melanie

    The back of my head, layers of which were previously unconnected and choppy-now are much better blended!

    Calling all curly girls! Epiphany at Katie Blue salon is LEGIT. She's a curly cutie herself and knows exactly what our tresses need to shine at their full potential. She was patient, highly knowledgeable about all the products she used, and easy to talk to about everything from science to YouTube influencer drama. I had a curly haircut, which she did on my dry hair, and for my type of curls is the best method. She followed the cut with an Olaplex treatment and let me just say---blew me away with its results! My hair feels unbelievably silkier and my curls are bouncier and more luscious without nearly as much product. I'll be going back for her to do a partial highlight on my blonde hair and can't wait. I highly recommend!

    Maisie is a new stylist that did balayage, cut, and toner on my hair yesterday. She was amazing, really attentive, and made sure I loved my hair! I've never got my hair dyed before but super happy with how it turned out also- the salon made a mistake while charging me while I checked out but called me a few minutes after to correct it and refunded me the proper amount which I was super impressed by. It could have been so easy for them to not do that! 10/10 and I will definitely be returning!!

    before my haircut! it was unmanageable and stiff.

    Yes! They take clients of all genders and hair lengths, including men with short hair as well as long.

    Yes they do use Olaplex products.

    Cancer Patient Refused $500 Refund - Poorly Done Microblading…read more I am a recently diagnosed cancer patient that was seeking to get my eyebrows microbladed. I went to Maria @mariialash for microblading/"nano brows". Her price for this service is $500. I wanted to get this done prior to starting chemo so I could still have natural-looking brows during treatment. Unfortunately, 100% of the pigment that Maria put on my eyebrows fell out, despite following her care instructions. I informed her of this and sent a photo of my plain brows, stating that I am starting treatment any minute and will be unable to do anything that may compromise my immune system such as getting a tattoo, for at least the next year. At this time I requested a refund. She has refused to disperse a refund stating that her disclaimers her clients sign state this could happen. A flimsy "disclaimer" does not excuse a business from providing good service and exercising good judgement. I do not recommend trusting Maria with your money nor your brows.

She paid $500 for the service, hoping to have brows before starting chemotherapy. Unfortunately, despite following the aftercare instructions, 100% of the pigment fell out and she was left with zero results. I've had my own brows microbladed at a different business for over five years, and my experience was nothing like this. When my friend reached out, she provided photos and explained that she could not attempt a correction because of her upcoming chemo and radiation, and asked for a refund. Maria refused, citing a disclaimer. But a disclaimer doesn't excuse poor results or lack of accountability. For such an important and time-sensitive service, this was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend trusting this business with your money.

I really appreciated how prompt they were about my appointment time. All their products were bumble & bumble and it smelled fantastic. Michael, my stylist is extremely friendly and a great conversationalist. He's very communicative and knowledgeable about hair, hair color, and extensions. He made me feel very welcome and gave me great advice and suggestions on my hair. I had a lot of breakage from years of bleaching and he did a great job blending my damaged ends into layers. He also really listened to what I wanted and made sure to communicate every step of the way. Not to mention, I received one of the best head massages for my added hair treatment! Overall a great experience and I will be considering hair extensions with Michael in the future!

She also let me know the person who did my hair was no longer with them (good choice!!) I got my hair re-done by Lauren** and she was great although it was mostly toning if I'm not mistaken. It turned out a lot better than before and the cut was not crooked thank god! There was a problem at the register as the girl said there was not a note on my account so I had to pay the full amount, but contacted Elizabeth again and she reimbursed me a couple days later. I'm not giving a full 5 stars only because the girl who took my payment made no effort in listening and told me to "come back and talk to Elizabeth" which seemed a bit dismissive. All in all though despite that, it was a better experience, and the owners care a lot about customer satisfaction! So I would still recommend it! ---- Unfortunately, have to leave a not so great review for my first and only visit here. I saw Richard, who was very nice. Everyone was nice. I wanted a simple cut, no layers, but I wanted my hair thinned out (I have a lot of hair), and I also wanted color. Nothing fancy just some peak-a-boos all over so I could eventually transition into a balayage. I showed him a picture, he looked at it and got straight to work. Everything went great, we were chatting small talking etc :) I do have some experience working at a salon in Menlo Park, and watching him I was getting just a little worried as his techniques seemed a little basic (maybe it's just hindsight though). Anyway, he finished, washed (very very hot water ouch) and blow dried my hair (it also burned quite a bit. But I am not the type to complain unfortunately so I kept my mouth shut) Anyway I was happy up until I finally saw my hair. I mean I smiled but inside I was pretty sad. I went home, my boyfriend was like what happened to your hair I said what do you mean? It's fine.(didn't think it was THAT bad, notenough for my boyfriend who never notices anything to notice) I take a closer look in the mirror, the color is uneven and my hair cut is crooked / uneven. Random long strands etc. No biggie. Right? I'll just go in and have it fixed. So I call make an appointment to fix it and go in. He apologizes and takes a few minutes to fix it. Although it's better than before it's still not what you'd expect after paying $250+. Been wearing it in a pony ever since waiting for it to grow back. :( I'm giving an extra star because everyone was very nice and the salon itself is super cute.
