Black Velvet Hair

I love this place. My first time getting sew in extensions. Lisa was very kind as Melissa was an amazing stylist. She really hooked it up for me! Was helping me the entire time the whole process how tight or lose I wanted the braids! Amazing she was very accommodating not to mention her hair was on fleek!
Loved the music environment ! Great prices and amazing people. They hook it up and I’m looking amazing thanks to them!

I bought two bundles and a closure here. The closure, to my surprise, had actual TRACKS sewn onto it. Doesn’t that completely defeat the purpose of purchasing a closure in the first place?
Anyway, I contacted the company to see if this was a mistake… First, they were crazily elusive when I asked who I should speak to specifically about my concerns. When I asked who will be calling me about the issue, they replied (via DM) «We will.» I then asked if the person was a manager or the owner or generally anyone of authority… They completely ignored that question. Interesting… They said that this is how they make their closures. When I purchased the closure, I was informed that it would be ventilated. And that was it. No mention of tracks being sewn on or anything like that. So, I paid the $ 220 (tax included) with no problem. I asked SIX different stylists if this was normal, and they all had the same reaction. A frown followed by a «No». Also, it’s only been a month, and it’s shedding. A lot. It looks like I’m balding. I’ll never buy another closure from them. Ever.
I gave two stars because the other hair that I purchased was okay. It sheds a bit, but I’m not exceedingly bothered by it. After I saw the closure, my expectations about my newly purchased hair were lowered, so I think that helps.

Worst service ever we got ripped off they told me the hair is 100% human hair and if I dye it. It will turn blonde right away i had too bleach the hair 4 times and it still didn’t turn blonde and I am a professional hair stylist the hair is very nice quality and looks good but for a fact it is not 100% human hair like they say Real hair changes color in a matter of seconds doesn’t take 4 try’s !! Especially with the best products there is being used on it, i called to tell him to resolve the issue they said I had to repay for them to fix there problem anyways no one go here there overpriced and liars.

I was in desperate need of good quality hair for a client. I contacted Black Velvet as a last result, spoke with Ebony over the phone and told her what I needed. She had the hair I requested layed out when I arrived, however after looking at the many options I opted for the bundle hair vs the bulk braiding hair. She had patience as I looked over what had to be at least 10 different bundles of hair. I purchased 3 bundles, I was satisfied and most importantly my client was satisfied as well. The bundles were full and worth every penny. Nice set up and great energy from the ladies who were there. Thanks again

Let me start by saying I have worn extensions for 8 years and Virgin hair for 5 years. So I can tell a good hair when I see one. I have read many good reviewed so decided to buy 2 bundles. They were more expensive then I usually buy but they told me with good care the hair would
Last forever!
Unfortunately, the hair was the worst thing I ever dealt with. It tangles like crazy I couldn’t even brush it. The owner apologized and said that I probably got a bad batch.
They did everything in their power at first to make me happy and sent to my hotel in NY another package instead. So for that they deserve a 5 star. That day my battery was dead and the guy came all the way to my hotel not to find me there. I felt bad
From that point it took forever until I got the packages again. I have called many times and each time they said they will send it and they haven’t. Finally, they sent me the hair, but same issue! I stated to think this is just the hair and no excuses.
The owner promised me after my email that we can resolve this, And just to send back the hair. I did send, and so they have then sent another pack sent, only this time it was 4″ shorter and only came one when I ordered two at the beginning.
I have texted the owner without a response. I am stuck with a pack that is too short for my hair. I gave up
Lost 400 $ on the hair, more on shipping, and the most important thing– a LOT of energy.

When I purchased my hair almost a month ago I was a little unsure about purchasing my hair from there, I’ve had my share of experiences of bad quality hair, hair that doesn’t blend, tangles or sheds, but to my surprise there was a lot of good quality hair to choose from. It was a little pricey, but you pay for what you get, right? I bought a total of 9 — 10 ounces that I was planning on dyeing blonde. After I left I took the hair to my sylist only to find out that 3 ounces of it was black and she wouldn’t be able to dye it my desired color. I called to let them know about it, and much to my surprise they stated I could come back in and get a refund or exchange. When I drove back there, they were still very patient (I was being indecisive) with me and very helpful and I was able to find hair that wasn’t black. I had the hair installed and dyed 1 week later and have been happy with it. It dyed perfectly and I haven’t experienced any shedding or tangling (which was a concern). From the time that it’s been installed I have received numerous compliments on the hair and the color. It also looks great straight or in its natural curly state. Needless to say I will definitely return if the hair continues to stay like this.

I follow a lot of hair companies on instagram. The only one that truly got my attention was Black Velvet Hair! Their motto of: It’s time you got serious about your hair, really caught my attention. They explain how the whole weave hair process works. Their information can help anyone gain weave hair knowledge. I bought hair from them and received it faster than anticipated. When I saw a special posted online, I felt I had to jump right on it. I am so glad that I did! Customer service is very important in any business, especially smaller businesses. I am glad to have the opportunity to shop from Black Velvet Hair and to have met this awesome team. Now, I have even had the BVH Glam Studio experience. Together, they are a combination that cannot be beat! Thanks!!!

Quality of hair: Very nice quality of hair. I use organix to wash and condish my hair. Love both the air dry and blow dry results, I’m loving the natural curl pattern, so silky. A couple tangles and shedding, but nothing major. I styled Caucasian girls hair at my previous job and it is just like their hair regiment. Will purchase 3 bundles next time!
Service: The owner consults with you about your service and offers wine or other refreshments. The wait time is 15 mins or less and the braiding process and installment is quicker than I have experienced (2 hrs). I actually had my hair done from a traveling stylist and I LOVE the results! Info: IG: @karenkarenhair check her out!
Atmosphere: Downtown LA surrounded by great restaurants. The parking is 2hr but I recommend the parking lots (3 – 4 options) for $ 5 – 6, but they do close at 10pm. The salon is in a high rise building, nice size, and cute decors; very relaxing. Love the music that was played, best convos, and HILARIOUS stylist. MUST GO BACK!

TERRIBLE experience!
First of all the hair sheds like a dog and it tangles like crazy! Way toooo overpriced for low quality hair like this!
Second: It was installed by Nisa and it took her literally TEN HOURS (from 1 pm –11 pm) to do a very sub-​par, mediocre sew-​in. She cut every weft, which any stylist knows is a big NO because it causes shedding! It took her so long that the parking garage I was parked in closed for the night (with my car still in it). I had to take a cab home and back in the morning to pick my car up. Ugh, just a completely awful experience.
Ladies, please do not waste your money or time on this disgusting hair!

I bought 2 bundles of hair from Black Velvet, after doing extensive research for good «AAAAA, non-​tangle, shed free» hair, and so far I love it. With any hair you do have to expect some shedding/​tangling, but I’ve had minimal shedding/​tangling. I teach Zumba 5 days a week and sweat A LOT. To have hair that withstands this without tangling and matting is amazing. I will def be buying my hair from Black Velvet from now on.

i don’t wear weave often cause I have long hair but the few time I did, I used to get my weave done for about $ 150, I used to buy my hair wherever and the result was NOT as expected…
SO I went to Black Velvet Salon and the price were a bit higher but I have never LOVED a weave like I LOVE the one I have now. I think Imma get addicted to weave now. (no kidding)
SALON: small salon in a nice building downtown (book store building).
PARKING: right by the salon $ 6.
HAIRDRESSERS: They don’t have a big fake smile on their face when you get there, they don’t talk too much… but they are really cool.
Nisa and her assistant both know what they are doing and they are both friendly women.
HAIR: Beautiful, amazing hair, 100% natural. No chemical smell. You can even see pics of Nisa going to India to get those hair for us. Just go and you ll see.
TIME: 3−4hrs for a weave.
PRICE: $$$ but still a very correct price if you compare to other good hair salon places and hair quality is AMAZING, you won’t find it no where… totally WORTH IT!
PS: I DONT KNOW HOW PEOPLE CAN TALK SHIT ABOUT THE HAIR. I though the bad reviews would be more about a bad hairstyle or about maybe the hairdresser personality, it can happen. Since i have posted my reviews I bought 4 different kind of hair. I have used the 3 of them each many times, I still have my 1^st bundle that I bought when I wrote this review a year ago and its still perfect, no tangles, I take care of it just like my own hair, I wash them under warm or cold water and they stay perfect and I just bought a new one… lol

I love love loveeee this place! I don’t think I could buy Virgin Remy Indian Hair anywhere else. It DOES last a very long time. I brought hair about a year ago and it still looks new after dying, washing and flat ironing it all the time. Only reason I brought new hair (Jan 2014) is because I wanted a longer length. I HIGHLY recommend it. It rarely sheds and tangles with proper care. Its worth every penny. :) Only thing I suggest is to CALL before you go because a couple of times I’ve went (about an hour drive) they were not in the shop to purchase even though I arrived within the business hours.

I had an amazing experience at this salon today. My hair came out amazing, just how I envisioned it! My stylish Nisa made me feel so comfortable and took her time to make me look perfect. I will definitely continue to come back here every time I need my hair done. I highly recommend this salon if you need somewhere to get your hair done and you want to look amazing!

So glad my daughter and I came here. The place is upstairs in a cozy room. The people there are very nice and knowledgable about their products. They try hard to satisfy their customers with product and price. Park in garage nearby on Spring for $ 5. It’s worth it!

BE PREPARED TO BE BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY OF THIS HAIR!!! I have worn extensions on and off through the years; particularly as I transitioned from relaxed to natural hair. I have never been happier to share my «extension secret» with people. This hair was a perfect match with my hair. It washed well, didn’t shed, and never got the waxy look that hair sometimes gets that has been processed too much. The customer service was incredible and I would highly recommend Black Velvet Hair.

I LOVE this place! A little late on the review but I think they’re worth the write up. I went to Black velvet hair about a month ago and had a magnificent experience with «Nisa». I told her over the phone I wanted to go honey blonde, get extensions, and color them as well. When I got there she examined my hair that I brought an my hair and explained to me a healthy way to lift my hair color without breakage. My hair has red undertones, but she was able to correct it. To this day my hair has not experienced ANY breakage. However, I did have to buy hair from her… which we colored as well. The hair I brought in became course after the a week or so… BVH is still soft and beautiful to this day. I thought The hair I previously bought from someone was ok… until we dyed it :/​it’s garbage. BVH is a prime example of how Indian should react to color or heat… Just amazing! I will be back for my color touch up: D

Customer service is so important and this place has it down! They give you that personable experience that will make you stop, and smile! The convenience of buying my hair online is a plus! I am a busy business owner, and I can’t find alot of time to research the thousands of little places around my neighborhood that sell cheap hair at crazy prices! Ever since I found Black Velvet Hair almost 2 years ago, I go here to buy my hair. Now although I don’t need to buy anymore, I like to have a variety. I am the proud owner of the remy Brazillian Curly in 2 different lengths and the Virgin remy in 2 lengths that I can wear straight or wavy. I purchased this one online last week and this next part is why I said I must write a review! Again, like I said, I ordered the hair online last week. I had no time until today (sunday) to pick it up because my hair appointment is tomorrow! Now, they’re closed today and tomorrow, but I decided to call anyway to see if there was hope. The owner answered and heard my plea. Also wondered where I was this whole week! LOL. He told me he’d be in touch and that he would try to get one of the stylists to go to meet me there to pick up my hair. Well he did! Last night, I met with someone to pick up my hair. AMAZING! I was able to get my hair done today (monday) as scheduled! But that’s not all. I found out mid-​way through that I needed a 3^rd bundle… sighs…I knew they were closed today too! But again, I took a shot and called… without hesitation, he told me they could meet my husband at the salon and get me another bundle! In less than 30 minutes, my husband was there, got the hair, and got it back to my stylist to finish! WAHOO!
They are very professional and all about pleasing the clients. I love that. They often have discounts/​sales on their fabulous hair, so make sure you sign up for their email newsletters. Thank you again for accommodating me. Though I won’t need to see you anytime soon because this hair will last a long time, I will be telling everyone that asks just like last time where I get my hair! BVH!!!
