I was in town for a few weeks, made an appointment with Bailey for my mom, and loved the results so much that I went back and got my hair cut with her too. LOVE IT. Bailey took the time to really understand what we both wanted, was very patient as we described the styles we liked (how does one correctly describe that?), and found examples on her mobile device to help us get on the same page. She has extensive experience as a stylist in different cities, worked in fashion shows and the like, and apprenticed under several high-profile professionals including those who trained under celebrity hairstylist Oribe Canales. Kudos also to the salon itself and to Chelsea who checked us in at the front desk. She was great too - warm, friendly, and welcoming. The salon is a very professional, well-run place - clean, bright, upscale, modern, and upbeat. A happy place! My mom and I felt very pampered from the minute we walked through the door. Honestly I thought we were there to just get a haircut, but it turned out to be an experience of its own. Needless to say, I highly recommend the Velvet Edge Salon. So glad I found it. It's been a few weeks and I am still loving my new hairstyle. My challenge now is that I'm afraid to get my haircut anywhere else and need to fly into town to see Bailey! read more

****WARNING!!!**** Ladies, if you want to keep the hair in your head intact OR if you expect a salon owner to take responsibility if your appointment goes completely south as mine did, DO NOT VISIT THIS SALON! After getting ROUTINE foils with Kelsey, my hair was melting out in clumps because she wasn't paying attention to how long she'd left the chemicals in my hair. She also did not have a basic understanding of different shades of blonde. She stood there like a deer in headlights and offered ZERO COMFORT OR EXPLANATION. Rachel, the owner, then proceeded to take ZERO responsibility, failed to offer compensation, blamed it on external factors, and hung up on me. Terrible salon. read more

Considering the amount of money I have spent at this salon over the last few months, I should not have issues with my hair. It's been pretty disappointing, I have had issues with both color not being applied correctly and extensions slipping but when I bring it to the attnetion of the the stylist, she cannot take accountability for her poor work. They blame the customer and agree to 'fix' but at a cost to the client. If I spend $400 for a 1-row move up, the hair should not slip off the bead just 2 weeks after the install, yet the stylist insists it's my fault even though this is the second time the same thing happened after the last move up, I ended up having to cut the extension because no one could get me in to fix it despite sending photos of how much the extensiong was sticking out of my hair and hanging off my head. How can they expect their high paying clients to walk around like that? But it seems that is the level of standard they hold themselves to. read more

This was my first time, and it was super easy to book an appointment. I wasn't sure what I wanted but Carolyne talked me through the entire process and what we were doing. She was extremely knowledge and was friendly. Had a great time talking with her. Everyone in there is friendly. The salon is absolutely beautiful. I loved the atmosphere, and already scheduled another appointment. Thanks again to everyone in there but especially Carolyne I'm loving my fall hair color!! read more

I'm new in town and thankfully found a great place to get my hair styled at The Velvet Edge. Anna colors, cuts and styles my hair so I look younger than I am. It's a peaceful spa experience. read more

This is what gabi did to my hair after I told her I wanted a medium shoulder length. They wanted to fix it but there's nothing left to fix. My hair is ruined. This is the worst experience I've ever had at a hair salon. Please save yourself read more

The Velvet Edge - Gabi destroyed my hair two days before a beach trip. I'm heartbroken. - Hair Salons Near Me - Irmo, South Carolina

I can't say enough good things about this salon. You walk in and are greeted with smiles from everyone before being taken to your stylist's station where you're offered a complimentary beverage ranging from infused water, to an iced coffee or even a mimosa. I had a consultation with Rachel for extensions and she was so sweet and made me feel like we had known each other for years. Today my extensions were installed and I've never felt more confident or beautiful. From the decor in the salon to the personalized name signs for each client, the whole experience feels high end but their prices are more than reasonable. As a mom of 3, I desperately needed a "me" day and this was the perfect place for it. Highly recommended! read more

It was my first time at this salon and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chelsea at the front desk is very sweet and welcoming. Mollie slayed my hair and was easy to chat with during the entire process. Plus all the other girls seemed to be awesome too so you wouldn't go wrong with anyone at this salon! Go ASAP : ) read more

Janessa was amazing! She really made me feel comfortable and took her time to give me the best experience possible.....she even offered to correct my hair color (if I wasn't satisfied with it). I really like that this place listed their prices on the website, scheduling online, length or duration of hair services and they offer their customers beverages like red/white wine while receiving their services. I received balayage + keratin treatment (Picture above in photos as well) read more

I just moved to South Carolina and was in desperate need to find someone that could get me blonde again. I booked with Keighley and she was fantastic. She did an amazing job and was so sweet to talk to during the process. The salon is adorable and the other staff I interacted with was so nice. I'm excited I found my new salon! read more

Jasmine did my hair cut today and I could not be happier. This was one of the best hair services that I've received and I left the salon excited to show off my new cut. Everything was amazing starting with the consultation, moving into the relaxing wash and easy cut then style. The stylist was very knowledgeable and and welcoming. 100% recommend coming to this salon! read more

Mollie did so good on my hair! I had been thinking about getting bangs for over a year and she really eased my worries about how they would turn out! Days later after styling my hair on my own, I am still thrilled with the results! Will definitely be going back! read more

Wow! Best experience I've had at a salon in a long time. I just moved to SC and was nervous about finding a new hair stylist. This was my third try going somewhere here in the area and I have found where I will get my hair done for the time that I live here. Meg was recommended to me by a friend and she exceeded all expectations. From atmosphere, to comfort, to skill, Meg had it all. She was thorough and listened to me. I can't go on enough of how she tailored the experience to me and how I am dying to get back in her chair! My hair looked great and I felt great! read more

I moved here a year ago and had so much trouble finding the right fit for me and my hair, then I met Breanna. I wish I had found her a year ago but I think that makes me appreciate her just that much more. She's amazing, I have found my Columbia treasure . The salon is decorated beautifully and has a calming atmosphere too. It's a great place. read more

This is my go-to salon and I always leave happy. Heather does a wonderful job and really listens to what the person wants. It's got plenty of parking and the salon itself is beautifully decorated and relaxing. They serve complimentary beverages and some snacks. You can book online, which was how I originally found them. read more

I loved my experience at The Velvet Edge! The team was so welcoming, I was offered a snack and a menu of drinks to choose from to enjoy during my visit. My stylist Gabby is awesome. She was so thorough in her consultation and we were able to talk through exactly what I was looking for during my partial highlight/trim. I will definitely be back again and recommend Gabby to anyone looking for a fun and talented stylist!!! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! had the blonde bombshell by Meg an it was amazing i'm so so happy with it! she did exactly what i asked! she listened to me an got me the icey blonde i was trying to get! Megs the bestest! read more

This place is top-notch! The customer service from when you enter to when you leave is impeccable, including the complementary drinks/snacks. I have been trying to find a salon in the area I like for over a year and have been to more than I can count. I was struggling to find place that tailored their services to me and my hair, and that is something Mollie (who is the bomb.com!!!) excelled at. Before beginning, she had a thorough consultation with me and gave me her recommendations for treating my hair based on my hair type and hair goals. We did a Quench treatment, which was very affordable, and so many people have noticed the change in my hair already! Mollie also styled my hair at the end, which I loved because I left the salon feeling like a million bucks. To top it all off, Mollie was so easy to talk to and she really has such a bubbly, amazing personality! If you you are looking for a salon, look no further!!! read more

I'm super picky with hair salons and when I found them and saw their amazing work online, I had to try them myself. It's super hard to find a great hair dresser when moving to a new state and knowing that Jacie understood what I wanted, felt great! I'm trying to lighten my hair little by little with out damaging it and its going to take a couple of appointments to achieve that! Will definitely be back soon! read more

I gave myself a haircut after watching some videos. My eyes thought they can do this but apparently my hands didn't agree. It was a disaster. Heather saved me and did a great job. I really like my new look. I will definitely go back. read more

I have been going to Mollie since I moved to Columbia a year ago. She has done wonders for my blonde hair! She has a talent for keeping hair healthy as well as gorgeous. I leave every appointment feeling so confident and excited to come back. Mollie is also the kindest soul and most fun person to have do my hair! read more

I came in for the first time, after I got a horrible haircut from another salon. Breanna was professional, quick, and fixed this hot mess of a hairdo I had going on. I got a botched cut from a place that charged me nearly DOUBLE what velvet edge charged me. Their prices vs. quality is definitely a plus. Clean and stylish salon too. Worth a visit for sure :). read more

Velvet P. I made an appointment and was looking forward to a wonderful experience. Several days before my appointment Bailey text me and wanted to "get a clear understanding" of what I wanted for my hair. I told her it was much longer than I wanted, but I didn't want it cut so short that she would need to shave my neck. I arrived early, and Bailey did not keep me waiting. When I sat in her chair she acted as if she didn't want to touch my hair, and asked me if I wanted a trim. I told her no, I want it cut it's too long. Then she told me that she did Not cut short hair. She works more on long hair. She said she didn't want to cut my hair and me to not like it. She did not want to cut it, so I left. What a TERRIBLE experience! I drove all the way over to Irmo from Lexington, only to find out she did not know how to cut my hair. Maybe this place needs you to explain how you want your hair cut BEFORE you get there so they can decide if they know what to do it. Funny, I thought the hairdresser is suppose to help the client decide what is best for them, not at this place. read more
