I feel compelled to write as I've had a phenomenal experience at Sublime. I relocated here from So. Calif. a few years ago & was referred to Sublime by a Hair products rep. (due to my search for salon that used the high end products I was accustomed to having & I didn't want to switch. I'm VERY picky when it comes to my hair!) Of the 3 salons I interviewed here in ABQ, I was most impressed with Sublime. That was in 2007, and I now have an appt. weekly -- that's how affordable they make it! In fact, I transferred to Scottsdale for 2.5 yrs. & flew back here every 6 weeks to get my color / cut! I have patronized high end salons in my native Newport Beach, in Denver, in Sarasota & Scottsdale -- but have found the best value right here in ABQ at Sublime! This salon has a 'family feel' to it; it's not housed in a lavish location but rather a humble strip mall (corner of Wyoming & Candelaria). Yet, however unpretentious my services have always been cutting edge. Amy, the owner, is talented, experienced & low key -- a refreshing change from the 'flashy' stylist who's practicing the newest trends on unsuspecting clients. In all my time there I have NEVER left with a bad experience. Occasionally, Amy has needed to refer me one of the other stylists (Nicole, Yolanda or Kay) due to vacation, illness, etc. and the hand-off has been handled seamlessly with the services being the high level I've come to expect from the salon. Having been a Hair Model when I was younger, I have an eye for the stylists & their work. I continue to be pleasantly surprised at the color & cuts I see as other clients are leaving. On the rare occasion that I have a question / issue / problem, I find them all to be accommodating & customer-service oriented to the Nth degree! That's why I have personally referred DOZENS of people to Sublime. (I get asked about my hair on a weekly basis; strangers take pics of my cut / color to 'show' their stylist!) No problem giving Sublime 4 Stars -- in my opinion, they are 'as good as it gets'. read more

I have long, naturally curly hair and I had decided that I wanted to go short. There were a few places I tried calling and asking general questions about how the stylists go about cutting curly hair. Finally I saw a blog online that mentioned Devacurl stylists and a search for areas by state. I was going to be in Albuquerque for the weekend so I found Sublime through the Devacurl website. I called them up and spoke to Arlene and she answered all my questions. When I went up there and finally met her, just talking with her was a reassurance that I had made the right decision! She cut it dry (which is what you are supposed to do!) and she washed and diffused my hair with the Devacurl products. She even asked me if I wanted it shorter, honestly she was very careful about the length because she knew I was a little nervous about it. At one point we were interrupted during the cutting process because someone had approached us after waiting for awhile to get checked out and the older lady wasn't at the front desk (come to find out she was sitting in one of the hair dryer chairs reading a magazine). I thought it a bit unprofessional on her part, but in no way do I fault Arlene for it. Arlene had handled it in stride! I had a fun time with her, and she gave me some really nice tips for my hair type. If I'm ever back in Albuquerque, I will definitely go see her again! read more

Salvation was found at Sublime!!! I had a horrible experience at a local Salon that was running a Groupon. Needless to say they bleached my naturally curly, un-colored hair, sending into shock. The results I got were not even close to the color I asked for (showed the stylist a picture several times) and my highlights were a mess. I researched salons in Albuquerque and found Sublime. I noticed they had color correction specialists which is exactly what I desperately needed. I setup a consult with Nicole and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I was hopeful that my hair could be saved. Nicole did an excellent job correcting the highlights and the results were phenomenal! I am so happy with my hair and have Nicole and Sublime Salon to thank for it! If you are looking for a professional, reliable, fresh and up to date, sincere and overall fabulous salon look no further than Sublime. I would recommend them to everyone regardless of hair style, color or type. read more

I am in no way connected to Amy Bishop, owner of Sublime Hair Studio. I have known Amy for over 15 years. She has cut and styled my hair for a long, long time. I followed her from another Salon she worked at awhile back. Before Amy I was dissatiisfied with other Albuquerque hair sylists because they did not understand how to cut my fine hair. I am very picky about my hair because not many people know how to "deal" with fine hair. Amy does. She runs a great salon. I was just there today for my every-5 week haircut. The place was hopping. Everyone at the Salon is friendly and helpful. I will continue to go to Amy for my Hair styling/cut because I trust she will always do a great job with my hair. Plus she is a great person! read more

I love Sublime Hair Salon!! Nicole Baca at Sublime has been my hair stylist for the past 3 years, starting when my hair grew back in after chemotherapy. If you've never lost all your hair believe me when I say you are VERY SCARED to have anyone mess with your new grown hair! Nicole is FANTASTIC!! She understood how I felt as she has had several clients with my situation. She knew how to work with my new delicate curly hair, coloring and shaping it as my hair grew and went through changes in curl and texture. I have referred several friends and family members to Nicole and they have all been quite satisfied with her and have become regular clients as well. read more

Love, Love, Love Amy and Sublime Hair studio. I have naturally curly hair and Amy knows just how to style it. I have never had so many compliments on my hair as I have had since she has been cutting it. She even convinced me to try the Deva product line and I am so pleased she did. They are the perfect products for my kind of hair. The studio is very pleasant to visit, always nice and clean, and everyone is friendly, and her prices are so very reasonable! As long as Sublime is in business I will be a loyal customer. I refer friends to Sublime on a weekly basis and wouldn't do that if I wasn't such a fan! read more

For my first time at Sublime I have to say Yolanda Samora was amazing! Perms can go horribly wrong but this lady is a magican! I was so at home here and all the ladies were so welcoming and real. Ladies it is an understatement when I tell you I LOVE MY HAIR. I haven't gone to a salon since I was 13 because I trust no one with my crown (my hair) but I am definitely going back. And my 5 sisters and mom have all approved if my hair, and they are some rough judges. If you are like me and love your crown then do yourself a favor and don't go to overly priced places for okay hair. Go to sublime! Thanks again Yolanda! read more

Amy is the best!!! She is always very accommodating for my busy crazy life. I feel bad when i need a last minute reschedule but she always manages to find time to fit my schedule on my terms be it from cut to color! The atmosphere is always warm and inviting and I always feel like I can relax when I go to Sublime Hair Studio because Amy and all the women there make me feel it IS all about me!!! The best part is after my visits with her,...I get compliments for the following weeks on how great my hair looks!!! I love this place!!!! read more

I give Sublime Hair Studio a 5-Star rating. Amy has been my hairdresser for MANY years. I always get compliments on how healthy and how nice my hair looks--thanks to Amy. When my children were small, she was the only hairdresser I would let cut their hair. As adults, they are avid fans of Amy--she is still cutting their hair. On rare occasions, if I can't get my appointment with Amy, I've had other stylists cut/color my hair with excellent results. The Studio is very nice and a comfortable place to be. read more

Kay Lane is my stylist and I give her high marks in all respects. She is warm, friendly and very professional. I love it that she is always on time and has an excellent work ethic. I don't know anyone more concerned with her clients than Kay has proven to be. She listens attentively and keeps my hair healthy and looking good. She's not afraid to try new styles (if you so desire) and I have never received so many compliments since I became her client. I highly recommend her. read more

I have been going to Sublime for 15 years. They always exceed my expectations as far as the cut and service. When my body started rejecting traditional hair dye, my stylist found a solution in all natural henna. The color matches my natural hair, comes out soft and shiny, and lasts for about 5 weeks. I really appreciate the time they take to make sure that I am satisfied with the outcome. Thank you Sublime for making me look good! read more

I've had Amy for my hairdresser for almost as long as she has been in the industry, even before she had her own business. That's about 20 years. I have never had one bad haircut. All I have to do is tell her what I want, and I have it. She goes for perfection, and gets it. I haven't personally had others do my hair, but have seen their work. I wouldn't hesitate to have any of them cut my hair. Mary B read more

I have going there for so many years I can't even remember and won't go anywhere else! Amy is the greatest - I have really fine, stick straight hair that is challenging to cut and she is the only person that can manage to give me a great cut! She highlights my hair with my natural color to help give me great body and it really works! (Covers my gray too!) My teenage daughter loves Yolanda S. too! read more

Yesterday I received the worst haircut I have ever, ever had. I called Sublime this morning to see if a stylist had time today to help before I took the scissors to my own head. Luckily, Yolanda had time to fit me in for a desperately needed repair. She was able to fix the disaster on my head and I walked out with a sassy pixie which I love. Yolanda got a new client today -- me! read more

I rarely get my hair cut. I decided to give myself an early birthday gift and get my hair cut professionally. I am so happy I did because Arlene gave me exactly what I wanted. It is perfect and I love it. I can't stop looking in the mirror and feeling my hair. Also the price was not bad at all. I was expecting it to be way more. So 10 out of 10. Super happy. I will be going back. read more

very sad to say that Janie chopped the heck out of my below shoulder length layered haircut. left, among other failings, a three inch chunk out of the fringe framing the side of my face. it has been two months and i still get upset when i try to blow it out or iron it. Is there no one in Albuquerque who can do a good correct long layered haircut? read more

Yolanda Silva is AMAZING!!! She worked me into her already very busy Saturday schedule. Yolanda took her time and made sure my hair was "perfect" & to my needs, wants & specifications all while making sure I was comfortable due to the fact that I'm a paraplegic. She is a very kind & sweet person! Definitely five stars!!! Thank you so much!!!! read more

I LOVE LOVE this place. I live in Denver, CO and I wait to visit Albuquerque to get my haircut from Amy {the salon owner}. She always does what I ask and is able to make my hair funky and fun just how I like it. I have not even tried to find a hair stylish in Denver because I know that I have found the best right there at Sublime! read more

As someone who is very picky about my hair Nicole at Sublime hair studio has met and exceeded my expectations. As long as she's in business I won't be letting anyone else touch my hair. The salon is always very busy, which speaks volumes about all of their satisfied customers but I'm never waiting more than 5 minutes. read more
