Blue Door Salon

A Dimestore WIG can make you look better than this rundown place!

by Sac1977 at Citysearch

I have a pretty open mind about new places I try. This salon wasn't so great. First, there's a pest problem: there were big, cuckarachas in the bathroom, around the sink area. Second, the owner brings her kid to to the salon, so you've got a little kid running around. Maybe she's marketing childcare services in addition to bad hair jobs.

My hair was cut too short and my dye job lasted less than a month. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Awesome Salon

by s_y_kim at Citysearch

I was referred to Corina by a friend and I do not regret listening to her advice!! The first time I went in, I was a bit hesitant because I had gone to a different salon where I got a great hair cut. I told Corina that I only had one requirement in mind and other than that, she could do what she thought would work. Everyone loved it. So I definitely didn't cancel the 2nd appointment we had set up. The 2nd time, I told her that I wanted to cut my hair from shoulder length to chin length and it turned out beautifully!!!! This last time, it was to trim it back up to the previous length. Corina listens to what you want and if she has ideas about what would make your vision better, she tells you and usually they sound way better than what you already had in mind. There are no sales pitches for products or any pressure to make referrals. The salon is not difficult to find and so far I've never had any problems finding parking. I would highly recommend Corina to anyone who is looking for a new stylist.

Great Hair Cuts and Color

by bjwillson at Citysearch

I moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area nine years ago and have been trying to find a hair stylist here in town that really listens to what I want, but is creative at the same time. I have very difficult hair to work with and I am a perfectionist when it comes to my hair cut and color. After hours I am a local violinist so I want to look good on stage. I tried several of the number one rated salons in town and was not satisfied. Then I found Mika. Initially I went to see him at Lotus Salon. I was so pleased with the results, I have followed him to the Blue Door Salon. At my Initial Visit to see Mika my former hair stylest (from the number one salon in town) had left me with super short bangs, and fried blonde hair. Mika has been working with me the past couple years and now for the first time in years I am getting comments about how great my hair looks from strangers on the street, coworkers, and people who see me in concert. I am in the middle of a horrible custody battle, and my ex-husband's attorney ran up to me after one of our Court Appearances to ask who does my hair. I am still blonde, but for the first time in years my hair feels and looks great. Mika came up with a style that is not only creative, but works for my curly difficult hair. So far my experience with the Blue Door Salon has been very pleasurable. It is upbeat, lively, and the staff is very curteous and friendly. I higly recommend it to everyone I know.

• Pros: There is a parking lot available behind the salon
• Cons: I have to go elsewhere for the products that my hair stylist recommends
