As the owner of a tightly-coiled, hard-to-manage/detangle/comb excessively kinky afro with balls on my ends, I finally took Vivians (owner of Urban Bleu) advice about getting a second texturizer. She gave me one back in 2013, and it was wonderful, but because I was trying to avoid chemicals like the plague, I was scared to get another. Finally after a 2+ years of trying to go it alone, which led to excessive handling, hours of time spent each time I shampooed it, and more breakage and thinning than I cared to admit, I realized she was the only one who was talented, bold and creative enough to give me another texturizer without collapsing my curl pattern or compromising the health of my hair. Believe me, I checked around. After having SO many bad experiences with chemicals over the years and my desire to still rock a fro, I was terrified. However, Vivian spend a LOT of time explaining to/showing me how I was doing more harm than good with all of the rough handling that I had to do just to maintain/detangle my afro -- each time I did, I lost enough hair to make an Afro Barbie! LOL However, no more -- thanks to Vivian! After yesterdays appointment, it is straight enough to comb easily, but yet kinky enough to stand up. It will also air dry without drawing up (so I can swim without having hours of work to get my hair to look like something). Yay! In the words of my sons, I have an afro reminiscent of Gina from Scarface, but it is still an afro! So to say I am extremely happy is an understatement. One last thing... I really appreciated the knowledgeable assessment Vivian gave about some thinning I was experiencing around my front edges and top of my head, as well as the recommendation of the Nioxin system, as well as her specific advice on how to recreate a wash and wear style at home. Looking forward to trying the products I bought from her and rocking my healthiest hair ever as I get ready to enter my 50s. All that said, check Vivian and Urban Bleu out for anything from the most basic styling appointment to the delicate handling of a texturizer for those who want to rock their natural styles more easily. Believe me, everyone cant do that! I know, because I checked! Will definitely be going back for color, texturizer touch-ups and the occasional rod set. Oh, I forgot to say Vivian is willing to experiment, which allowed me to see what my hair would look like dried with rods versus hanging loose all in the same appointment. If Yelp allows, I will post a picture. Signed -- A VERY satisfied customer. It was worth every penny spent!

The stylists at this establishment carry a great product - the Cezanne Keratin treatment. It smoothens and tames safely and effectively like no other Keratin treatment I have found in the market. It has been endorsed by celebrities.This salon advises you on the treatment itself and subsequent hair care. Their prices are very competitive and the service is very personalized. Even if you have color, with this product and the expertise of the specialists at the salon you can balance the two, making sure drying, breakage and over-processing arent an issue. Its really easy to get an appointment at this versatile salon - they do everything from color to style to weaves and braids for all hair types and ethnicities. I always find a diverse group of people patronizing this store. It is a true reflection of the demographics of the area, which is very assuring, because it shows the level of experience with all hair types! Thank you UrbanBleu Salon! Im coming back for another Keratin treatment in a few weeks!

If you want HEALTHY HAIR, a Stylist that is ACKNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONALISM and you want to be IN & OUT, then Vivian is the stylist you are looking for. Ive been a client since 2015. My natural hair has made a complete transformation since I started coming to Vivian. She has taught me so much about how to maintain my hair, and trust me when I say that I have tried some of the most popular oils, butters and creams and none produced the results that I get from hair care by Vivian. I highly recommend her services!!!

I was styled by Ashley! I am new to the Loudoun area and had been traveling to MD to get my hair done when I first moved here. After finding the salon on Google, I scheduled an appointment and was very pleased. Nice environment, they have stylist that can provide care for natural hair and the prices are reasonable. I am glad I found this place, no more hour and a half rides to MD for me!

Vivian and her team dont just style hair, they care for the health of your hair and have been caring for my hair for 15+ years. They would never do a style at the risk of damaging my hair. They recently recommended a Keratin Express treatment as I struggled with growing out my natural hair for the first time in 30 years. My hair is soft, manageable and no breakage. I LOVE it!

Ashley did my Cezanne treatment and I love the results! I have thick frizzy hair that was difficult to manage and never looked good without straightening but now it dries quicker, styles better and more resistant to humidity. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants softer, smoother hair.

I just went to this salon taking the risk for a haircut, no one camouflage cut it the way I wanted it. It was the 4th salon Ive been to and I absolutely loved it. Vivian was the one who cut my hair and it is exactly as I wanted. Great service
