Save your money and go elsewhere! Went in for highlights since my regular girl was out of town. Holly was sweet and did my highlights. I was quoted an hour and 45 min and didn't get done for 3 hours. Everything seemed fine until after I washed my hair and realized there were major issues. To name a few, there were bleach stripes, and it hadn't been colored all the way to the root like you expect with highlights. I called the salon and explained what had happened, and sent the stylist and owner pics of my hair. I was given Holly's cell and she immediately offered to make it right by offering a refund as soon as she was back in the salon. I heard from Holly and was told that the salon owner (Jessie) would not allow her to refund me after all, then she stopped responding to the text conversation. I called and spoke to the owner, and she was very rude. Jessie told me feel free to leave a review if I wanted to get the backlash like she did to the other negative reviewers here. I honestly never have experienced an adult or business owner to act like this. and I felt this should be shared (with proof) so others don't have the same experience that I had at Salon Bleu. *My conversation with Holly was all communicated in writing via texts, that I have provided screen shots of here. read more

I highly recommend Amber Ringstad. I had a haircut with Amber several weeks ago, and my mane still looks great! She is always taking classes and improving her techniques. I brought in several pictures how I wanted my hair to look - not only was she a great listener, she was realistic and we settled with a style that would compliment my face the most. As for the salon - very chic. Love the decor and atmosphere. The online appointment system is very convenient especially for a working mom like myself. I don't have time to call and make an appointment, so I just hop on the computer and a couple clicks away I'm booked for an appointment. Thanks Amber for my fab hairstyle! read more

Sarra was lovely and very talented! Provided a wonderful cut and color and was really enjoyable to be in the salon with her. Thanks Sarra!

A few things that make this salon extra special. -Excellent customer service, they really work hard to make sure you are a happy customer and that you have a positive experience. -Qualified staff...I really like the way Amber cuts and colors my hair but across the board, customers come out looking good and feeling great. They also have someone that does make-up and everyone I have seen comes out looking amazing. They offer convenient hours and a clean and comfortable environment without being pretencious or uncomfortable. read more

First off, this is an adorable salon, not right on the beaten path of El Camino Real, it's tucked in behind a cute courtyard. I have been on a hunt for a new hairdresser for the past year and I am happy to say: I found her! I initially found the salon and Aja (pronounced Asia) through a South OC Hot Deals offer, I thought this would be a good way to try her out...And it was! Aja helped me decide on a style and discouraged me from going shoulder length, stating that it might be too short, we met in the middle and the length is perfect and she managed my bangs beautifully. So, now I have a new, springy style, hopefully it will be cute when I wear it curly too...I have a love/hate relationship with my curly hair, I am trying to embrace my curl again...wish me luck with that. Aja was attentive and directive which I appreciated. She clearly loves what she does and she does it well. Bottom line- I haven't pulled my hair back into a pony tail for 2 days...and that is saying A LOT! SUPER excited to have a new hairdresser...now I just need an optometrist and dentist here in SC! read more

Trendy. Chic. Modern. Gorgeous. Professional. I loved this salon & my stylist. My hair is absolutely gorgeous! I was very pleased. I would recommend to anyone! read more

I'm pretty hesitant to try new salons, but I'm really glad I took this leap of faith! Salon Bleu is awesome. Aja gave me a great cut and color- I'm in love with my new hair! Conversation was effortless- she's so sweet and talented. Prices are pretty standard for a good salon. I think my cut and color was around $140. Also- I loved that I was able to book my appointment online. Check this place out!! read more

i am a huge fan of Salon Bleu:). I have recently moved to San Clemente and I was in need of a hair dresser. I found Salon Blue through Yelp and I have them to thank for Dana my awesome hairdresser!! If you are looking for a new place to go for hair, Salon Blue is great and Dana is the best:). read more

Okay, here's the thing -- I've done just about everything to my hair: I've had several drastic, edgy cuts, and I've also had beautifully flowing locks. I've brought in photos of models, rock stars and even anime characters, asking for elements of their 'dos. As for color? That too. Several shades of red from firey to deep wine shades, purple, magenta, electric blue, raven-wing blacks tinted with smart violets, icey to golden blonde and my natural brown, even. My point being, for every crazy beautiful thing I've dreamed up since I was 15 to now (23), my stylist AJA (pronounced Asia) has been able to do. She's beautiful, sweet and has infinite patience. After a bad cut while I was going to school in Santa Barbara, I called Salon Bleu crying and they got me an appointment for the very next day with Aja. Totally worth the 3 hour drive, because she was able to take a too-short cut and transform it into something beautiful, as well as re-dye my hair without damaging it. She uses the best products on my hair and when I leave, I always feel fantastic and get so many compliments, even weeks and weeks after I've gone in! My mother, my sister and now even my girlfriend are clients of hers. Not only do I adore Aja, but Salon Bleu as a whole -- it's sunny, gorgeous and has a great vibe. I love that it's hidden away in the courtyard, just like the little gem it is. read more

MY FAVORITE place in Orange County. Morgan is truly an artist and always makes me look beautiful..I get compliments on her work EVERY day.... Morgan is worth every penny I spend..(Not to mention you can book appointments online which make life less complicated.....) read more

I love Salon Bleu! Olivia, Jesse and Ya Ling are my absolute favorite stylists in Orange County. My husband and two teenage boys love their cuts and I love the cut and colors. read more

Very nice salon, hip and cool atmosphere. You can see the stylists have talent in color, highlight, bayalage and cuts read more

Such a cute little salon with a super friendly and talented staff!! I followed My stylist Taylor from Carlton to Salon Bleu because she was just that good. She brought my black box dyed hair to blonde in only a few sessions and my hair maintained its integrity! It's currently pink and purple, but she's done a lot of really conservative and "normal" hairstyles for me, too. I added some photos of some of the many hair styles/colors Taylor has done for me. As you can tell, they're all over the spectrum--lots of fun colors, lots of "normal" colors, short hair, long hair, bangs, no bangs. She's the only person I trust with my hair and I'm glad she's at Salon Bleu now, it suits her! The atmosphere and the collaborative approach the stylists use really makes it a great, relaxing experience. read more

Just got hair and make up done for wedding! Tiara is the best, did exactly what I wanted and made sure I loved it the whole time through! My hair was beautiful, make up stunning, especially the eyes! They also both stayed looking well for hours, even on to the next day! Highly recommended! Thanks you so much Tiara for making my wedding day even more beautiful/special! :) Nicole was good too, my moms hair and make up was pretty beautiful! read more

Hats off to Jess and her team. They are amazingly talented and welcoming. Jess did a great job with my daughter's (very damaged) hair and we are working to get her hair back to her nice and healthy mane. Reasonable pricing and cool staff. read more

Staying in SC for a week and in desperate need of a haircut. Tried this place as I read other good reviews about it. Very glad I did! Sarra cut and styled my hair and understood what I wanted and did just that. Very very pleased! Plus they were all very professional and seemed to go above and beyond the safety precautions with Covid. Will definitely come back when I'm in town again which I plan to be soon. read more

Sarah exceeded expectations. Like big time. I researched almost every place in town to try to find a seasoned, yet trendy color specialist, I showed her a ombre look on pinterest, and boom. She delivered. AND gave me new killer blunt bangs. She's a true professional that obviously loves and takes pride in her work! Thank you Sarah!! read more

I've been going to Salon Bleu for a few years now and finally decided to write a review. Jessica W. is my usual stylist, but I've had great service from some of the other gals that have filled in when she was unavailable. They have a great vibe in the salon; its super clean, upscale look and feel, cool tunes playing in the background, and typically lots of people getting their hair done. They always include a shampoo and I love how I look when they are finished. I can easily recommend Jessica and the rest of the Salon Bleu crew to anyone looking for a great place to their hair done! read more

LOVE salon bleu and the ambiance.. so realxing and such a beach feel! HIGHLY recommend Sara Broussard!! She does such an amazing job on color, cut, and style. I felt like a new woman when I left! She wants to make sure you are happy with the outcome and makes you feel comfortable and at the same time knows EXACTLY what you want with you barely needing to explain! Can't say enough positive things about her! read more

Turned out to be the worst experience I have had with a hair salon. This was my second time here and I booked with Tiara. Things were going fine until it was time to dry my hair. She said she wanted to put me under the dryer because otherwise "my hair would pouf". Odd because every haircut I've had in the last 30+ years has been dried by the stylist and has always turned out perfectly, but okay... I'm open to her expertise on this. I sit there for 10 minutes or so and she comes by and asks me if I'm okay with walking out with wet hair or do I want to stay under the dryer longer. Huh? I figured she was putting me under the dryer for a little bit and then finishing it up herself. Okay... so now I'm confused. So she isn't going to finish my hair? She says she has to start on her next client so she takes off and leaves me there under the dryer. And I'm looking at my bangs and thinking they need some touching up. I can't even tell what the haircut looks like because my hair is still wet and hasn't been brushed through or styled or anything... it's just hanging down in this sad way that is half-wet and stringy looking. I resemble a homeless lady on the beach at this point. Let me also mention that I booked today because I wanted to have my hair cut, dried and styled by a pro because I was leaving for a big event that I wanted to look really sharp for. So this totally ruined that for me and I am deeply, deeply unhappy about that. I debated over interrupting her with her client to ask her to at least please touch up my bangs. I decide against it because I don't want to be rude. I get that she didn't want to be late for her client, but she was 10 minutes late getting started with me, so... I don't see why she couldn't have taken me back to the chair, finished drying my hair, brushed me out, make minor touch ups, styled it a bit, put in a little product, given me a mirror so I could actually see what it looked like from the back and asked me if everything looked okay to me. The way every other professional hair stylist has in my entire lifetime. I never even got a chance to tell her that I wanted it dried straight. And most stylists make a few touch ups when the hair is dry to catch things they missed when it was wet. I'm baffled over this. We had typical conversation, I can't imagine I could have said or done anything to have offended her or to make her want to ditch me without providing me the full service I actually paid for. Honestly, I resent that I did pay for something I didn't fully receive and wasn't happy with. It just felt so awkward at the end, I honestly didn't know what to do. I walked out feeling extremely awkward, totally unattractive and deeply confused. It's a one star rating simply because if you can't do the basic things right, nothing else really matters. Service is everything. read more

Jesse is awesome! I've been going to her for about 5 years and I always walk away happy! The salon is unpretentious, everyone is very friendly. Highly recommended! read more

This place is top notch! I had the best color, cut, and blow out I've ever had. Jessie and Ya-Ling are amazing women that run their own business, I respect that. Jessie's assistant Andrea is amazing too! And they sell the BEST PRODUCT EVER. I even went home and was able to blow out my hair, and it looked near salon quality. (We all know how hard it is to duplicate a salon blow out from a salon). Love this place and would recommend it to everyone! read more

Excellent! I've been going to Jessie (Owner) for many years. Spending time at any place where I have to sit for a couple of hours isn't my cup of tea but coming here is great. Jessie feeds and waters me while I relax. I don't even have to tell her what I want done to my hair and I have never been even remotely disappointed. In fact, I always leave incredibly happy! I'm old and I've never had such a great stylist whom I trust as much as her. Everyone here is very helpful and aware of the surroundings so if you need something, you won't have to wait. Definitely give it a try! read more

Great little salon in downtown San Clemente. Everyone is super nice and friendly. Jessica Renee is awesome--very efficient and fixed my haircut and color.! read more

NICOLE IS FABULOUS!!! I've struggled with finding someone who could do great color AND cut and I've finally found her! I really can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Nicole. She was sweet and caring, really listened to me and completely understood the look I was tried to achieve, even though I don't speak "hairstylist". She took her time and did a fabulous job! The color is just perfect and the long, sexy layers she gave me are EXACTLY what I wanted! I've really never loved my hair before and now, thanks to Nicole, I LOVE MY HAIR!!! read more

Desperately needed my color done for an event and was able to squeeze in here last minute. Jasmine was great! She offered 50% for first time clients (score!) and did a fantastic job. I was looking for strawberry blonde, which is a tough color to pull off, but I loved the result. I've gone back a second time and happily paid full price (which still isn't bad). The salon itself is super cute, it's hard to find though so keep your eye out. It's tucked behind the chophouse between el camino and Avenida de la Estrella. I don't think there's a parking lot, but street parking isn't too hard to find, just watch out for the two hour max during the day! read more

Great salon, friendly staff, affordable and you feel like a million bucks when you leave.

Very chill and friendly atmosphere loved the staff super welcoming they have such broad selection of styles and types of hair they do I love the coloring they do but I personally seen Sarra for a simple straightening and trim she took her time and wasn't very pushy or insistent on other services I should do which sometimes I hate about salons lol She was very sweet and down to earth. Loved my experience my hair is naturally very crazy curly so I was impressed by how silky she got it. read more

I really loved all of the employees! Very fun salon. However, the lady that did my hair didn't check to make sure that my layers were even on both sides in the back (probably because we kept talking so much) and I didn't notice until I was home. I don't think the cut was worth the price since my hair wasn't even on both sides in the back, it looked like I tried to cut my hair myself lol. I had to go to another salon to get it fixed. I just wish the lady would of double checked before I left! Other than that it is a very chic salon! read more

I have been coming to Blue Salon for over 2 years, great staff beautiful environment. I want it to post a comment about a huge disappointment I had with my last keratin treatment. They were running a promotional special discounted rate did the full treatment got completely different instructions on how to care for it and within 2 weeks the treatment did not take. If this had happened anywhere else normally the treatment would have been given again for free it was suggested that I perhaps can consider a different type however. I have been receiving keratin treatments for over 3 to 4 years with much success, very disappointed read more

Julietta, co-owner of Salon Bleu has been my hair dresser for about 9 years. She was a referral from a friend and I liked the way she did my friend's hair. I'm very picky with my hair since my father was a barber growing up. Julietta is the BEST! She can do any style you want, her ability to color hair and make it look natural is outstanding. I get compliments on my hair a lot and you have to go see her. She is worth waiting for, if you can't get an appointment right away. Julietta is a stylist I can put my name to. Her new salon is wonderful, full of light and air a real gem in San Clemente. read more

Tiara has been doing my hair for the past year and half, and I'm always thrilled every time I leave the salon! I'm blonde, and she is so great with high-lights: very precise and efficient too. The first time I had Tiara do my hair, I actually got low-lights put in and I absolutely loved that as well. She is seriously amazing, and you will never be disappointed! She is also super sweet & friendly and a great person :) The salon itself is in a great location and there is a little courtyard right outside... they usually have the windows open so there is a good airflow and just a really good vibe overall. Hope you love it as much as i do!! :) read more

Sara Miett is AMAZING! I have been going to her since I moved to Southern California back in May. She is a color wiz. When I first moved here I had dyed my hair only once, a lighter blonde from my natural dirty blonde. I wanted a drastic change seeing as though I moved across the country from a small country town. I went in wanting Ombre (a hip style that consist of a dark brown root that fades into lighter shades at the tip). Sara gave me just that! Sara is a perfectionist! She honestly has a passion for color and isn't a stylist that is looking for a quick profit. She will treat your hair like her own and will not stop until it is perfection! The first take on ombre did not come out exactly like we wanted (because my hair, being so blonde was hard to take the color) she admitted it immediately and instead of sending me away and having me come back later, she fixed it right there! She goes above and beyond to make you happy. Always being extremely particular with my hair, I trust Sara Miett completely! If you are looking for a great new look, I recommend Sara Miett all the way! read more

Sarra gave me the best cut and highlights! She's amazing and knew exactly what I wanted. So happy I found someone after all these years. Highly recommend! read more

Let me start by saying how much I love Taylor. I faithfully followed her from the original salon she worked at before finding this beautifully eclectic place by the coast. She has an eye for style, so much that I started letting her decide what cut or color would best suit me. She really takes the time to understand your needs and goes above and beyond... every time. She is an asset to this salon and I hope that you all feel that same. read more

I've had my hair cut by taylor Mcmillen for a couple years now and have never been disappointed! She's attentive to all the details I ask for and is also fun to talk to! And she always offers me a glass of wine or a beer which is a great touch ;) I always walk out feeling so good. Ask for Taylor, you will be so glad you did!!!!!!! read more

I came to this chic salon because my amazing stylist, Taylor moved here last year. I would seriously follow her anywhere. Taylor gave me a life-saving haircut after an awful attempt at a makeover with another stylist, and since then I've never looked back. She has great vision and delivered a beautiful whole head dye job when even I couldn't articulate what I wanted. I'm so grateful she's taking clients at Salon Bleu. The salon is always clean, has professional products I use every day, and makes it so easy for me to get in to see Taylor when I'm in desperate need of pretty hair. read more
