Shawn did an amazing job on my daughters hair and the five stars are solely for him. Unfortunately, if I had to give it on the actual salon It would be a 1 star. My 14 yr old Daughter was scheduled for her cut with Shawn/ This is our first time at this salon and my daughter hasn’t had her hair cut in years. She’s been growing it out to donate 12 inches. So we walked in with my husband and 2 year old son for her appt and the front desk girl checks us in then immediately goes and grabs another women hairstylist ONLY to ask us if we were planning on staying. Now we had only been there for 2 mins, hadn’t sat down and my husband was holding our son. I let her know that we were not staying we just wanted to get her checked in and let the stylist know what she wanted. She then rudely says okay good because we aren’t kid friendly…. Completely unnecessary to tell us that since we just said we aren’t staying. We realize it’s a salon not a playground. She isn’t just not kid friendly she isn’t friendly at all. Really bad customer service to start but Shawn was -amazing.

I went to Salon Vela for the first time today and had a great experience! Ron cut my hair and he went above and beyond to make sure he cut it the way I like it! I finally found a stylist that cares!! I highly recommend Ron and feel so lucky to have found him!!
