I recently took my daughter to Versus Salon to get box braids. We sent a text to the salon with a photo. I received a text back from the salon to purchase (4) packs of 1B Kanekalon hair. A week before the appointment, I went to the salon and paid a deposit. I saw the stylist who would be braiding my daughter's hair and showed her the picture of the style she wanted and confirmed that I was supposed to purchase (4) packs of 1B Kanekalon hair. She asked me, "Who told you that?" I said, I don't know - it was a response in my text from someone at Versus (perhaps Chelsea, the office manager). Corvette said, "No, you need to purchase (5) packs of Jumbo hair and you can get the cheapest brand." I also showed Corvette the length my daughter wanted for the braids because the photo that was sent had shorter braids and Corvette said okay. I said thanks for letting me know because I would have purchased the wrong hair. My daughter gets to the appointment the following week. The cost for box braids is $185 up to five hours. Each hour after that is an additional cost. Corvette took six hours to do my daughter's hair with a total of 45 braids. The braids were barely shoulder length and they were not even in length because Corvette told her she didn't have enough hair. But remember, Corvette told me to purchase (5) packs of hair. I brought (7) packs of hair with me. My daughter showed Corvette the length she wanted (which was past the shoulders - the same length I showed her the day I paid the deposit). But Corvette told her she couldn't do the braids any longer because she didn't have enough hair. I was not contacted to ask to purchase additional hair. Corvette went on to place gold braid rings around my daughter's hair. She told my daughter that some of the gold braid rings would hide her natural hair that was sticking out from the braids. Corvette used hot water to take the humps out of the braids and to seal them. She told my daughter that the humps would straighten out after a few days. Two days after my daughter got her hair braided, the braid rings started to tarnish. We took them out and noticed over 15 braids were messed up (her natural hair was poking through - making it look messy and unprofessional). The humps in her braids never went away. We tried using hot water to make them straight, but it didn't work. We contemplated calling Versus but decided to see if we could use a gel to mask her natural hair sticking out from the braids. A week went by and we decided to contact Versus. I spoke to Corvette about the state of my daughter's braids. She admitted that she put hair rings around some of the natural hair that was poking out but said it was only 2 braids. I said no, there were definitely more than two braids that were not correct and about the humps. She said she could see my daughter this past Saturday to fix her hair (let me say here - there was no mention of a maintenance fee - you will understand this comment a little later). I receive an email from Versus confirming a 15-minute consultation. I called the salon because I was confused how this short time period could fix the issue. I spoke with Chelsea who said, "We put it in as a 15-minute consultation so your daughter would not be charged." I said okay and thank you. At the appointment, Corvette tells my daughter it will be difficult to fix the braids with the hair she has in now. Corvette said it would be better if we had new hair. She also counted the number of "messed-up braids" and realized it was much more than the two braids she claimed over the phone earlier. My daughter told her she would rather come back another time because we had to buy more hair and it appeared it would take some time to fix the horrible braiding Corvette did. My daughter was to return to Versus at 2:30pm today to have her braids fixed (hair poking through and humps). I receive a call from Chelsea at 12:30pm. She said she received a message that I called Michelle and had questions about my daughter's braids. I told her she was mistaken - I have not spoken with Michelle. Chelsea said, "You will need to pay $25 per hour maintenance fee to fix your daughter's hair." Chelsea said after a certain period of time, they charge a maintenance fee. This is the first time I was told of a maintenance fee to fix something that Corvette messed up in the beginning. After speaking with my daughter, I contacted Chelsea back and told her my daughter does not want to return to Versus Salon EVER. We believe that Corvette and Michelle put their heads together to bleed us for even more money over an error that Corvette herself made. It makes no sense that it took Corvette six hours to do 45 box braids. I truly believe she went slowly (confirmed by my daughter) to get more money. I do not recommend Versus Salon as a place to go for braids on anything else. I hope this review saves someone from having an extremely negative experience. read more

I nervously set up an appointment for a Deva Cut with the first stylist available on the Versus Salon website. The process was very easy and all prices were clearly listed. When I arrived at the salon, I followed current protocol and called to let the front desk know I was there. I was cheerfully greeted by Amelia, and immediately offered a beverage. I was shown to the seating area, and various staff members said hello to me as they went about their various services. The salon is pleasantly lit and clean, and the atmosphere is relaxing and cozy. After a short wait, I was introduced to my stylist, Ale'. Ale' was VERY kind and patient, explaining everything as she was cutting my hair. If you're not aware, a Deva Cut is for curly/wavy hair and the hair is cut dry. Ale' gave me a great shampoo, protein pack, and conditioning treatment after the cut. After a quick diffusing, she then proceeded to expertly style my hair. I had a ton of questions throughout the process, and never once did I feel that Ale' was losing patience, bored, or just wanted to be done. She is also a pleasant conversationalist, and we spoke of many aspects of her life. All the staff remained attentive throughout my roughly 4 hours there. She gave me some great product recommendations, but not once did I feel pressured to buy ANYTHING she showed me. The products are working out great, and she also taught me a cool technique with the Denman brush and wiggle! I walked out of the salon looking and feeling like a million bucks! Thank you, Ale'! Please do not hesitate to support this salon! read more

The stylist did her best however my hair did not come out as I expected going to a professional salon that pride themselves in Deva . I was there from 12:15am until 4:30pm and had to get my hair washed over 4 times. I came to a professional establishment believing that they would know what worked best for my hair. You can't use the same products for everyone's hair and you must listen to your customer when they tell you what doesn't work for their hair. Nevertheless I sat under the dryer which doesn't ever work for my wash and go's nor does putting oil in my hair. I was baffled by the owner not giving me at least 50% off . I would have even paid full price for my hair cut of which I couldn't really see because of the way I left the salon. I paid $130 for hair that I have to go home and do myself. I was truly hoping to come to the salon every 2 weeks for my hair however I will not come back. I believe as a owner you have to sometimes bite the cost to obtain a customer that will produce residual income rather than looking for the short term pay off. Correction: the discount was not $20 it was $10 which is less than 10% off. I don't blame the stylist at all. She did her best. It's the manager that watched me walk out as an unsatisfied customer. read more

I had came across Versus Salon while searching for a good place that specializes in curly hair online . I have had bad experiences at various salons that claimed they knew what they were doing but clearly didn't because I always walked out of there sad because my hair didn't come out the way i asked. So I came in and made a DevaCurl Cut appointment for later that week with Corvette Lemons. The front desk staff was so nice she offered me chips and a beverage while I waited to be called. After a few mins it was my turn Ms. Lemons was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with me about my hair that I had never know before. She listened to my needs on exactly how I wanted my hair to be shaped and trimmed. I think it's so unique how for the DevaCurl cut they section your hair and trim every curl, yes it takes a good while but well worth it. Needless to say I walked out of there extremely happy . I'm forever going to this salon and Ms. Lemons for my trims. Love this salon!. read more

My experience today at Versus was wonderful. I had the pleasure of meeting Deniece as my stylist. She thoroughly explain the natural state of my hair during the consultation & was very honest and open about the hair treatment I was receiving. Before I came in for my appointment, I was very skeptical about how my hair would turn out because many stylist don't understand the vision you want for your hair. But Deniece met all expectations! During the appointment, she included me in the process by explaining step by step of the products and how I can maintain my hair on a everyday basis. At the end of my appointment she thoroughly explained the products she used and how they will benefit my hair. I'm anxious to see how long my style will last and whether her techniques will work once I use them. I write an update review later on. Her customer service was beyond exceptional and I will be returning to see her as my stylist. read more

I love this salon. I have gone here before when they first opened to help with different shows. As I was trying to gain an understanding about my hair, I googled a lot stuff. One of the main things that I ended up finding was the Deva Cut. I ended up scheduling one with Shells. I am very scared of getting my hair cut, but she made me feel comfortable. My cut came out great, then I scheduled for a full highlight set the week after. I recently went back last Saturday for a touch up on my high lights. I got a full set once again. I was greeted by Chelsea, who is very nice. Shells slayed my color once again, giving me what I asked for. I feel as if a treatment is needed after a color and they provide that! I will def will be going back. read more

I am long standing customer of this salon (since 2007). The salon started out in a small setting and has blossomed into a very nice high end salon. My stylist (the salon manager) has always serviced me and I've always left the salon pleased with the service. This stylist is very skilled and crafty in hair care cuts & color. My hair was initially damaged and broken off from a chemical that "I" applied, being cheap (it doesnt pay to be cheap). Within a short time my hair was back to a healthy natural state, not to mention the short sassy pixy cut & color that I so love. She's the best, she has really transformed my hair! The atmosphere is welcoming and the decor is by far that of a modern day salon. read more

It's been about 10 years since I've been to a salon and after stalking this salon for months looking at pictures I finally decided to book a colour and curl transformation(in the middle of a pandemic)lol It was such a relaxing time, Jasmine who did my colour talked me through everything and put me at ease. Jazmine who did the curl transformation listened to my needs and concerns. I couldn't believe when I was finished!!! Less than 2 hours for 2 services? Amazing!! It was nice to leave my hair in someone else's capable hands. I avoid places because of Covid but the protocols in place at Versus are great and I felt very safe. I will be going back! read more

Michelle (Shel) was absolutely AMAZING at my appointment this evening. 5 stars is not enough to rate her. Not only did she do a great job with my hair, but her energy is infectious and she is so knowledgeable. She does a great job of explaining each step, explaining the science behind why your hair is doing certain things and eases your concern even when you're reluctant for a cut. This was my first time at this salon (besides my consultation) and I was extremely impressed. I will be back for my Deva Cut a few times a year to keep my hair healthy and growing!! Thanks Shel, you're a miracle working, my curls are poppin'! - Angel Horowitz read more

Gone are the days of waiting in a hair salon all day just to receive a simple service. Versus prides itself in being client-centered and, as a client for several years, I can attest to that belief. When you schedule your appointment, you are the stylist's priority. The stylists also educate the clients by teaching about hair texture, care, and steps moving forward. The staff are friendly, professional, and people-centered. They offer a pleasant "hello", call for confirmation, and often offer water. The facility is contemporary, sleek, clean, and located in downtown Virginia Beach. What more could you ask for! read more

I moved from New York City and was in desperate need of a stylist I could trust for my cut every few months. I had been a client at Devachan when I lived in New York. I LOVED what they did for me and had the most difficult time finding someone who could achieve the style, use of product, and all around experience like I had there, until I found Versus Salon. Every single appointment I have had at Versus is SPOT ON with the cut, price, and service. Seriously worth my move down to Virginia Beach! I would recommend Versus Salon for anyone, especially those who have curly hair like me! read more

I have been a client at Versus Salon for many years and won't go anywhere else. Modern and very clean establisment with decor colors that are pleasing to the eye. The owner and stylists that work there are very professional and I know that my concerns and needs will be met. The stylists attend Hair shows during the year and stay current on the latest in hair and scalp health, color and chemicals as well as current styles. Diverse group of stylist who will relax, color, loc, braid or style your natural hair. Had my hair done by Michelle Williams today. Very pleased as usual! read more

I was driving around the Town Center area of Virginia Beach and found Versus Salon. I've never been one for getting my hair done because of terrible experiences in the past, but I gave them a shot. They made me feel so comfortable and welcome there. Such a great experience. My stylist really listened to my concerns and carried out what I was looking for in a cut. Their customer service was superb. From the receptionist, to the woman who shampooed my hair, to the amazing stylists. From start to finish, I finally found somewhere I could go on a regular basis and feel amazing. read more

Michelle is my hairstylist. She does a great job on my hair every time I sit in her chair. The last service I had was 8/29/24, where she took my hair color from red to warm brown with highlights. It turned out amazing. I love the color, and the way if feels. I went from badly chemicaled hair, to a healthy natural growing hairstyle with know breakage in the process. I have been a client for over a year. I love the great employees, the cleanliness of the shop, and the location is great. I would highly recommend Versus Salon and there staff. read more

Kate is amazing. She asked me what I wanted from the visit, what was a concern I had about hair. She explained the curl identification system and told me what my curl numbers are. O one has ever typed my hair. She explained how & why she was cutting my hair the way she was cutting it. We talked about lumberjack and ease of styling. She explained all the products she used and how they work to help me achieve what I wanted. When she was done and turned me around and I saw my hair I cried very happy tears! read more
