I have been going to Betie even before she opened her own shop. She is wonderful. I would highly recommend her!

I've been coming to this salon for a couple years now. Betie has done a brazillan blowout for me that it seemed to last almost 8months which is amazing!! Lillian has done a couple haircuts for me and I've always been so happy with my cuts. She does exactly what I asked and doesn't over do the length. Tegan has done my color, Brazilian blow out and cuts. She does an amazing job every single time. I get compliments often on how perfectly blended my balayage. All these women are so down to earth and totally talented. You can trust any of them with any service. read more

I asked for a balayage over previously colored and highlighted hair. The stylist - Lauren, offered me a base shade comparable to what my old salon used since they didn't use Redkin. Guys, she toned it and turned my base brassy and copper looking. I texted her the next day thinking she would rectify it because, that's what professional salons and stylists right? No, they refused and wanted to charge me for their goof. They tried to say I came in with this hair, which I did NOT. If I wanted red I would have said so. Not only is the stylist unprofessional but turns out that's the way they do business. I emailed the salon and yup, they think it's ok to charge you for their goof. Not only that, two other hairdressers I have since consulted said this is NOT a Balayage, they don't know what they're doing and botched my hair and won't take responsibility. I will never go back and do not recommend. THE most unprofessional salon I have ever dealt with. I will now have to spend more money to fix their mistake. BEWARE! EDITED TO ADD: Do not let them intimidate you into taking down your review like they tried to do to me. read more

Teagan is the f*ckin GOAT. greater talent and precision than most more seasoned and far more expensive professionals in downtown salons, sans the ego and pretense and pushiness. she's such a sweetheart and great at a job that is so often under appreciated for all its complications and difficulties. it was a real stroke of luck to find her. tons of gratitude. read more

Teagan did a great job on my highlights. My hair looks and feels healthier than before, so she really knows what she is doing.

I'm extremely disappointed with the service I got here. While Lauren is super sweet, I feel like what I asked for is not at all what i ended up with. I tried to Express my disappointment without being rude. I was told I would need to pay for another full service? Typically, If you aren't happy, they fix it. I'm going on vacation next weekend and have been saving and waiting for this for weeks only to be let down. read more

Love this place the staff is great and always friendly. I go to Megan and she is awesome. She does a great job.

I have to say I am a little disappointed. I usually go to the north side for my hair cuts and blow dry. But this time around, I decided to go around my neighborhood. I drove by Salon Blu and decided to give it a try so I made an appointment. The owner started asking me what was the occasion and I said I had a wedding to go to and that I just wanted my hair blow dried. The stylist was great but I paid $$$ . Are you kidding me? I know I have a lot of hair but I've never paid that much before. I felt cheated, just because I mentioned I was going to a wedding. I'm not happy and I won't be going back. read more

I first learned about Salon Blu shortly after it opened via an article in our neighborhood newspaper. I had been traveling far out of my way for my haircuts and while I was happy with the service I was receiving, it was simply too expensive for the distance. My first experience at Salon Blu was with Deneen when I was around 7 months pregnant. She was patient, listened to me and understood my personal style, and gave me a flattering, low-maintenance cut that got me through the remainder of my pregnancy. I was really happy to find a place close to home with such a great stylist. A few months later, I tried to make another appointment with Deneen and learned she wasn't working there anymore. Sad. But, another stylist took my appointment and I was happy to go back. Frustratingly, that stylist didn't listen to me and kept insisting that she give me a "stylish" cut so that even when I didn't have time to style my hair on my own, it would still be "styled". With my hair, this kind of styling won't work, and I left quite frustrated that the woman cutting my hair ignored my requests AND the points I made about my hair and general sense of style. I didn't want to go back to Salon Blu. It had been about two years of 'just okay' haircuts from a neighbor when I absolutely needed to get my hair cut and styled again. I was out of my mind with dried hair and splitting ends. Out of desperation, I tried Salon Blu again. This time, my stylist was Heather, and she was awesome. Turns out that neighbor who was cutting my hair, who was giving me okay cuts for cheap, wasn't giving me the best cut for my money. (At least the cuts were cheap!) Heather took the time to cut my hair, even it out, and style it to my liking. My hair wasn't even dry and it already felt better. I left the salon, but not before making a follow-up appointment, and that's something I almost never do (I'm fussy and want to be sure I like my hair first.) Heather was truly awesome, and every follow-up style and cut with her has been exactly what I wanted/needed. The salon itself is on the small side, but tastefully decorated and not overly trendy. It doesn't feel anything like the salons I grew up visiting (Old Lady Heavens). The services are all great, top notch and great quality. The prices are also in line with what other neighborhood salons charge, but Salon Blu feels much more upscale. A general cut and style runs me around $40 with tip, and especially since I started seeing Heather, I feel that pricing is more than fair. read more

Love Betty! Knows what she's doing, and does it well. Gets right to the point too, doesn't sugarcoat anything, which I like.

I had a great experience at this salon. The owner did my hair and did a great job on the cut and color. I've been getting all kinds of compliments. She took time to listen and make recommendations based on what I wanted and my hair type. She had a steady flow of clients yet kept things moving and was attentive to everyone. I like the service I received there, the owner was nice, professional and did a great job...I will be back again. read more

I was recommended by a family member to go to Salon Blu. The place is very cozy and has awesome service. I was very happy with my haircut and new bangs. Everybody comments on them. Thanks Deneen!! I'll be calling you again soon!!! read more

I've been going to Betie for several years and continue to go to her for my haircuts. I can always count in Betie for a great cut and color and she does an amazing brow wax! I travel from the suburbs to go to this salon and it's well worth it. Betie always accommodates my schedule as best she can. She always listens to what I want, but offers much needed suggestions too. The salon is really cute, clean and stylish! read more

I am extremely happy with my cut, color, and highlights. I am a new customer and have searched for a hairstylist I can go back to for the last few years. I have thin naturally curly hair and believe it or not many stylist do not know how to cut my hair. I went to Megan. She layered my hair and colored it, giving it a lot of texture, I can wear it straight or curly and it looks great. I highly recommend this neighborhood feel of a salon. read more

Back in October, I went to Salon Blu for the first time. Based on her great reviews, I requested Deneen for a haircut & style. Even though my hours didn't coincide with hers, she patiently waited for me after work and took her time to make sure that I got what I wanted. She suggested a few tips, which helped achieve a noticeable improvement in my thinning hair. I would definitely go back again and request Deneen.--Virg D. read more

Bette has been doing my hair for about 3 years. I have never had someone who is as talented and knowledgeable about hair as this woman! She keeps up with all the latest styles for all ages!! She is extremely accomodating and her prices are very reasonable. Her new salon offers a mulititude of "pampering". Dee is also a great lady! I have been in shop after Dee has finished with a client and she does a remarkable job. Hats off to a great establishment in our area! read more
