Jess is very knowledgeable and explained the process thoroughly. I was immediately at ease with her warm and friendly demeanor. And my hair looks fantastic! She did a beautiful job! Things could not have gone any better!

Book with Cameron Vandenboom. Full stop. She is the hairdresser every perfectionist dreams about. After a traumatic bang incident at another salon, Cameron took the time to talk through my vision and how she could help get my bangs there. Every few snips, she checked in to make sure I was comfortable and happy with the progress, because she could tell how nervous I was. So, so kind and attentive. Cameron isn’t just a master of cuts, she’s also excellent with vivid colors. We’ve done pink, purple, and most recently, a blue peekaboo, and every time she works with me to achieve the best end result. If achieving a color isn’t realistic or won’t last more than two washes (I love a pastel), she’s upfront about it and offers alternatives. That kind of honesty, combined with her respect for the health of your hair, is priceless. However, for the luxury and experience you receive at each appointment, her prices are very reasonable. I still usually schedule my appointments three months apart to be more frugal, and use salon-grade dye between visits. She knows I do touch-ups on my own and is very open to answering my questions and sharing tips on how I can upkeep the color, with no judgment. I could talk about how wonderful she is all day, but you really just need to experience it yourself. She books out weeks in advance (her insta is @CamDoesYourHair), so don’t wait until the last minute.

Great experience! Hannah was terrific and took the time to listen and did an excellent job. Will be back!

Jess was so friendly and nice! She has a nice touch ,I almost fell asleep during my appointment! And she did exactly what I asked her to do with my hair! Love it,so nice and bouncy!

Victoria is always amazing! She listens to everything I have to say and gives me exactly what I want every time. Love her!

I can't say enough great things about Jess! She did my hair so perfectly and effortlessly, nailing exactly what I wanted. From the flawless haircut to her impeccable balayage technique, everything was beyond my expectations. She worked magic on my long hair, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only is Jess incredibly skilled and professional, but she’s also such a genuine and kind person. She made the entire experience enjoyable and made me feel like I was catching up with a friend. I’m absolutely thrilled with my hair, and I’ll be coming back to Jess again and again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional hair care—she’s truly the best!

Haircut was exactly what I wanted. Sydney was delightful.


Jan 05, 2025

Hannah listened to what I was looking for and did her best to make it happen for my hair type. She did an amazing job! She also took the time to show me how to style it and explained what products and tools to use. I’m very happy with my experience.


Jan 05, 2025

I walked in with hair that had not been cut since before COVID nor had I had professional color during that time. I also wanted color, highlights, cut, styling, Brazilian blow-out in less than a week. Lexi grabbed the schedules and made it happen. Kala did all the color, cut and styling on one day and I came back for Jaime to do the Brazilian. All I can say is these ladies are miracle workers and I will be back soon. Total strangers are stopping me and asking for details. Thanks to all!


Jan 05, 2025

Listened and got me processed and in and out all with a smile. Thanks, Lauren! I look forward to the next appointment.

Brooke is just wonderful and I’m so glad I found her! I just moved to Raleigh and I’m happy to now have a “hair girl” in the area. She was great to talk to and gave me the exact cut I was looking for! She’s knowledgeable and experienced - and it shows in the quality. I will be coming back!


Dec 05, 2024

Cameron is amazing! She is truly the best!


Dec 05, 2024

Got a haircut recently, and it was a great experience! Sydney was super professional, asked all the right questions to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, and even gave some great suggestions that worked perfectly for me. Took her time to make sure everything looked sharp and kept the vibe really comfortable. Highly recommend!


Dec 05, 2024

I gave Hannah a difficult job. I had 3 different box dyes on the mid length, 3 inches of virgin hair at the top and a dark brown band between the two. Hannah was able to take all of those and beautifully blend lowlights and highlight together to give me my dream hair. She was extremely kind and sweet during her service and I will definitely be back again!!!!


Dec 05, 2024

I had a fabulous experience with Jess. Would definitely recommend her to a friend!


Dec 05, 2024

Jessica Dooley listen to what I wanted and offered great advice for thin fine hair. I walked away with the fresh new look I was seeking!


Dec 05, 2024

Saw Felicity, I love my color, wonderful shampoo and head massage. sweet stylist! will be back.


Dec 05, 2024

Saw Jayme, As a guy, I personally never felt comfortable going into a salon full of women. Thankfully, they welcomed me and I had a great experience. Hairstylist are naturally better with longer hair, But they did Great job at meeting my expectations. I’ll have to go back once my hair grows out a bit longer. Place is very clean and very beautiful beautifully lit.


Dec 05, 2024

Sydney was Awesome! She made me feel relaxed and had great technique. She listened to what I wanted and asked more questions to get a better understanding of what I wanted. She was pleasant and her personality was great as well. I will be returning to see her soon.

Cameron Vandenboom has been doing my hair for years and she's the absolute best! I'm a natural brunette and I'm completely a platinum blonde thanks to Cameron! I'm including pictures from my wedding last month because look at my hair 😍

I absolutely love Salon Blu and my AMAZING stylist, Cameron Vandenboom! I’ve been going to Cameron for years and she has always left me feeling so empowered and confident with her amazing skills and education! She keeps my hair so healthy, always has amazing product recommendations, and keeps my blonde looking perfect! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is truly the best of the best!!!!!

I have been going to Cameron Vandenboom for almost 4 years now! She is such a pro and is always so attentive to detail. I love my monthly “hairrapy” appointments and always look forward to catching up. She is very driven and motivated in her continued cosmetology education and perfecting her skills.


Nov 05, 2024

I have been seeing Cameron Vandenboom for years now! I trust her skills and opinion with my hair more than anyone! I always leave loving what she does to my hair!


Nov 05, 2024

I originally visited Salon Blu a few years ago, and really enjoyed my overall experience. However, when I tried to return, the stylist I previously visited had left so I was offered an appointment with Cameron Vandenboom. I can’t say enough good things about Cameron. I have moved around a lot, and the last time I found a stylist I loved this much was over 10 years ago. Needless to say I will not use anyone else in the Raleigh area but Cameron and recommend her to everyone I know!


Nov 05, 2024

I’ve been coming to this salon for over a year and consistently seeing Cameron Vandenboom for my color/cut needs. She is a stylist I stumbled on from IG after 2 other stylists in the triangle didn’t fit my needs. Cameron is amazing at color and actually understands the science behind color theory and hair health to ensure my hair gets exactly what it needs each visit. Want a quiet visit? No problem! Feel like chatting? Cam will be all ears. I look forward to my service with her and I’m so lucky to be her client.


Nov 05, 2024

I’ve been going to Cameron Vandenboom for three years now and am so blessed to have her as my hairstylist. She always takes the time to make sure my hair looks amazing. I always look forward to salon days and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing stylist! She is very knowledgeable and makes the whole experience a breeze.


Nov 05, 2024

Jessica was a real gem! Professional, sociable, and insightful! I will definitely be going back. Thanks!


Nov 05, 2024

Love Cameron Vandenboom at Salon Blu North Hills!! I've know Cameron since she was a student at Aveda but she's been my stylist for the past 3 years. She completely transformed my hair after the Covid lockdown and my new growth was out of control. I look forward to seeing her every time. She is warm, friendly, down to earth, and a super talent. She can do anything but excels with blondes! She is highly skilled and great with time management. She is realistic and honest and will only offer you what's best for you. I highly recommend her and I won't be going to anyone else for a long time! 😁 Salon Blu is a great company and full of amazing talent.
