I am so happy that I ended making an appointment with Ericka. She was so welcoming and easy to talk to. She knew exactly what I wanted and have already booked my follow up appointment.

Stumble across Lonnie's instagram handle and thought her work looked amazing. Messaged her inquiring about pricing and services and she responded to me within minutes. She was fairly thorough with educating clients about the process, as well as asking for the history of client's hair in the past 2 years to ensure the best possible result for your hair. I booked her months in advance as that was the only availability she had at that time. I came in 10 minutes early and she saw me right away. She was super friendly and almost came off as like one of your girlfriends you haven't seen in awhile. Very comfortable to talk to. I have to be honest, I did not have high expectations for the result of my hair, due to many attempts of getting a balayage elsewhere, and the frequent disappointments. My hair has became fried, broke, and damaged in the past 2 years, and I just felt that it would be a huge challenge for Lonnie to make my balayage dreams come true again. However, I stuck with my hair appointment and let her do her thang... She educated me every step of the way which I appreciated. She helped guided me on how to take care of my hair better, as well as hair treatments at home that can easily be done in 10 minutes. After about 3.5 hours, she turned me around in the chair and I was astonished.... She literally took my breath away... well I mean, I took my own breath away with the way I looked, but all thanks to her! I could not believe how light she got me!!! Definitely recommend Lonnie to everyone!!! She did an amazing job in less than the time I have ever been at the salon before. She really does know her stuff! Don't think I'll find anyone else as good as her.

This was my first (and my last) experience at Blue Lion salon. I booked with Jamie Schmeits for a consultation in regard to a cut and color. The consultation only lasted about 5 minutes before she started immediately cutting my hair without asking me if I wanted her services (and failing to give me a price before hand). To my knowledge the cut came out okay; the only reason I couldn't really tell at the time was because after she finished cutting, she immediately started curling my hair. After she finished I paid and asked about how much she would charge to make me blonde (I'm a natural brunette). She gave me a decent price but insisted that I do a bunch of highlights instead. I asked for photos of what she meant because it didn't sound like what I wanted, but she showed me photos of women that looked VERY blonde with almost no brown left over. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the highlights would also protect my roots. Jamie made it appear as though she knew exactly what I wanted and that she could do it with no problem. She even offered to do it that day, a few hours later. I told her I would get back with her within the hour. After considering her offer I decided to book the second appointment. I made it VERY clear to her that I didn't want obvious highlights in my hair and I wanted all the blonde to fade naturally together. She assured me that she knew exactly what I wanted, and then began coloring. My hair was ruined. The highlights were extremely noticeable and very gray looking. She made me look like I aged about 5-10 years. It was so embarrassing. I immediately asked her if she could make the highlights look like a vibrant blonde, and she said all she had to do was use a different toner. So she attempted to fix it but, no luck. She told me that I should wait a week to see if I feel differently about my hair, so I decided to do that to really give her a chance. A week went by and I still was so self-conscious of my hair. So I got in contact with her about fixing my hair, and her only response was to tell me that she "fully explained that this could happen" (which she did not) and then continued to insult me by saying I don't know enough about hair to be questioning her. I'm no expert, but I've had my hair bleached before, so I know what to expect. In addition, she was not willing to work with me and insisted that I would have to come in for a second session (and pay full price), in order to get what I originally asked for. I was completely willing to pay anything extra to have her fix my hair, but her rudeness and arrogance made her lose a customer. I will never go back to Jamie's salon (which is called J Salon) nor will I recommend her to anyone. She had good reviews from others, and now I'm not sure why. The only reason I'm leaving a bad review is because I was instructed by the manager of Blue Lion (who is very nice and tried to help), as well as the professional stylist who actually fixed my hair and made me a true blonde in one session without damaging my hair (Michelly from Uplift Studios is amazing!). Attached are photos of Jamie's "work" and then my fixed and gorgeous blonde after after Michelly's expertise.

My friend recommended Lonnie to me for a gray make over! Lonnie uses Opalex and spend many hours on my hair, making sure I get the color I want and avoided drying out my hair. I recommend seeing Lonnie for consultation :) she's very patient and easy to talk to, and she has great knowledge on hair dimensions and always talk to me throughout the whole process.

I have been with Erica for over 10 years now and I will say this with conviction that “ She is the best hair dresser!! She really cares about the health of your hair and advises accordingly. I have gone to her with so many demands to do on my hair but if she feels that it will damage my hair the she does not put up with my demands. I really appreciate her honesty and hard work!

Soooo long story short - I got my hair messed up on December 2018- i went to a different hair stylist BECAUSE i was in a rush and i didn't want to wait for Steven's next appointment.. With that being said - I went to the lady I used to go to a long time ago, worse mistake I made on 2018. She fried my hair - she completely messed it up, bleached it and it was not what I wanted. I reached out to Steven and apologized because I should've been more patient... with that being said, he fixed my hair with no problem. One thing in mind, customer's satisfaction and making sure there's a perfect blend. If you're looking for a true artist and an expert on balayage Steven is your guy! His salon is inside the Blue Lion Salon Studios

Absolutely terrible. Do not go here. They ruined my friends hair and haven't been at all accommodating. She spent almost $400 here and her hair is severely damaged and orange. Her stylist should be fired.
