Black 2 Blond

This is now my regular hair salon and Sara is the stylist who looks after my hair.
The salon is clean, the staff super helpful and friendly, and the service is amazing.

My first visit to Black 2 Blond Salon and it was very nice… included tea, hot towels and hand lotion. Staff were all very friendly. Nancy was my stylist and she was really great. Truly a friendly, professional, perfectionist who tries hard to give you exactly what you want… which she did! Haircut looks great and is really easy to care for. Love it, will definitely be back!

After going to numerous salons in Vancouver, I can safely say that Black 2 Blonde is my absolute favorite. The quality of service here is amazing, and all of the staff are so friendly. They also have a loyalty program if you refer friends which is great. I get my hair cut and highlighted here by Sara, and it always looks perfect! I would highly recommend this salon, whether you are looking for a luxurious salon experience, or you just need somewhere to get a trim.

A great place! My regular stylist was not there so I went to see sara. She was absolutely amazing. I look funky and modern. What else can I wish for? Everyone is nice and they do bring some great herbal tea! I highly recommend this salon

Best haircut I’ve had in a while which came with all of the additional advice I need to keep my hair and scalp looking good. Jaimie is an excellent stylist if you are looking!

Excellent hair salon. Staff is super friendly. Love my haircut and the provide services. Definitely will return.

This place is really nice. I’ve been quite a few times since it became a Biosthetique salon. It’s clean, it’s always busy, the stylists pay attention to their clients and aren’t busy gossiping amongst themselves, and they don’t play insanely loud music. It’s reasonably priced and they make an effort to pamper you while you are there. They usually offer up tea or a coffee when you come in, they’ll hang your things, and they’ll give you a scalp massage with aromatherapy oils before doing any salon services. All great perks.
They will offer you a free makeup consultation afterwards, which is essentially an effort to sell you make up. It can be nice to do if you like to get your make up done by someone or are going out, but if you don’t want to get it done a firm ‘no thanks not today’ saves you a sales pitch.
If you’re looking for a great cut I’d recommend Susan, she’s no-​nonsense and knows her stuff. She will take the time to explain why she thinks a cut will suit you and your hair. I personally like that she’s doesn’t fawn over clients like so many hair stylists do, but that’s a personal preference.

The ambiance in the salon is great, everyone is friendly and upbeat .Sue is an incredible stylist! I have waist length blonde hair, that is still healthy because of her due care and attention. I constantly get asked if I am a natural blonde. If you haven’t found your «mane squeeze» in Vancouver yet, book with Sue and leave the salon elated!

If I could give 6 stars I would. I went in to Black 2 Blond for a colouring class. Although not everyone in the class was a Black 2 Blond employee however I lucked out. I had 2 stylists work on me as models were short. I got the honour of having Teresa (owner) from Black 2 Blond work on me. My hair was definitely one of the most challenging hair colour correctors to do. Going from a black/​dark brown base with copper, red, blond and about 3 – 4 inches of re growth while ends were darker then the mid shaft. My hair coming in was a disaster to say the least! I requested a all around lighter base with cooler blond /​ashy high lights. They assured me I was not going to be able to go too light as my original hair colour is black (i totalllly understood that). After 5.5 hours of bleaching, toning, blow drying. My hair is exactly what I wanted! Wow. I was very impressed and have definately found my new stylist!!! Teresa is a magician!!! Thank you again!

I’m afraid to write a review about the two great stylists I go to because they’re already tricky to get an appointment with due to their popularity! (ok, also my insane schedule). Marlee and Danielle are incredibly talented colourists and have yet to fail my expectations. I’m one of those girls who hums and haws about what I want to do with my hair, shows a million pictures with completely different looks, and can never really figure out what I want. And yet, these two ladies always hit the mark mark and exceed expectations.
Marlee is probably the most knowledgable stylist I’ve ever encountered when it comes down to the science of hair (I mean actual science, her knowledge of colour chemistry and hair is very impressive, being a science person myself this rocks)
Danielle does incredible tape-​in extensions as well. The last colouring I got I had many of my friends not give me the ’ oh yeah new hairdo, it uh looks nice’ but instead I got ’ wow your hair makes your skin look incredible. That’s an amazing colour on you’ which in my opinion, is the way it should be.
I could go on about these two, whom I see whenever the other one is busy (i have a hectic schedule so this has really helped me)
These guys are the only two stylists in the city I’d be confident recommending, aside from Jarred who is a stylist at TRiM hair salon… but that’s too far for me to go :(That’s how I discovered these two gems (blocks away from me)
give them a try! Love them

I can’t believe that Black 2 Blond doesn’t have perfect reviews! For years I swore allegiance to a downtown salon for all of my haircare needs. Having moved out of the downtown core, I broke down and started searching for a salon closer to home.
I’ve been a client of Marlee’s at B2B for close to two years now and haven’t looked back. She cuts and colours my hair with incredible skill and I’m always a very happy client when I leave and definitely get what I pay for. That said, I find B2B’s prices quite reasonable. The entire team at B2B is friendly, knowledgable and make me feel very welcome to be there.
The salon recently underwent an extensive renovation and has become an exclusive La Biosthetique salon and spa. La Biosthetique is an eco-​friendly French company that creates luxury hair and skin care products. Loads of natural ingredients and a policy against animal testing sold me right away.
All that said, I have no problem at all recommending Black 2 Blond and their entire team of hair experts and estheticians.

if your dying/​highlighting your hair. please do not go to this salon! they messed up my hair once and I had to pay for them to fix it even more. and then they messed it up even more, I have brown hair and I wanted some nice summer highlights and they gave me a sandy green color and they didnt even tell me the color until the end. and then when I payed for them to fix it she bleached it for too long and now my hair is white at the top and dark brown underneath. please don’t go to this place! I warn you they will ruin your hair and don’t have the certessy to fix it.

B2B was amazing! The staff were friendly and welcoming and the service was terrific! I’m really happy with my new hairstyle ~ I will definitely be a repeat customer.
The stylist I saw was Julie — she was AWESOME! :)

I just moved here and was looking to get a pretty standard trim with some shaping and ‘spicing up’ since I am going through a grow-​out period. After going to the same stylist back home for 5 years, I was pretty specific in my research. I happen to live close to Black 2 Blonde and saw that they sell some pretty great products (Aveda being one of my favorites). I went with one of their Junior Stylists, Laura, since I didn’t need anything too fancy. She exceeded my expectations. I didn’t have a very descriptive idea of what I wanted, so she was very helpful at giving me some ideas. She was very patient, chill, and meticulous. After cutting, then blow drying she made sure to go back through and clean up any pieces. Then she styled and straightened my hair providing great tips on how to style my new ‘do. I should also mention that she asked me if I wanted more or less volume, shin, etc. before putting product in my hair. She explained each product and how it works without pushing a sale. The products worked great and my hair looked fresh the rest of the day and night.
All in all I went in not expecting too much and came out having an awesome ‘do that is pretty versatile… style-​wise. I will go back again for another solid experience!

I went to Black 2 Blond for the first time this week to color my hair. My appointment was with Kim and I highly recommend her. She is very personable, friendly, knowledgeable and has years of experience. I was looking to darken my hair, which is naturally black with extensive light blond highlights. I pointed out a rich dark brown color I saw in one of their magazines and it turned out spot on. The salon uses Aveda products, which was my first as well and my hair came out a really rich, dark brown — exactly what I was looking for. Kim was very thorough and meticulous in applying the dye to my hair and was very careful to make sure there wasn’t any dye on my forehead, etc. She also made me a latte and gave me a wonderful hand and arm massage. One of the greatest things about the salon is that they have the most comfortable rinsing chairs — they actually recline (like a recliner with a foot rest) so that your neck isn’t resting in a rediculously uncomfortable position (yay! no more sore necks). There is also lots of residential parking near the salon, which is convenient. For those of you looking for a spa treatment, they have spa services as well.
