THE 13 BEST PLACES TO GET YOUR HAIR DONE IN BANGALORE

Saying goodbye to a trusted hair stylist is like saying goodbye to a family member… alright maybe not really, but close!

Hair types, products, colors, and popular cuts are not always the same from city to city, yet we feel we’re lucky to have found a few good salons with great stylists that still leave us with luscious locks we love.

 

UPDATED FALL 2022- but please remember things change often so check website/Instagram or call salon before going!

Black Olive Salon

2. BLACK OLIVE 

Lucy has always been well-loved by her friends and neighbors in Whitefield when she worked at a competing salon, so it was natural that people would follow her when she ventured out on her own. Her cute little salon Black Olive is located at Whitefield’s Biere Street so it’s the perfect place to pop into before a meal or drink with friends. Lucy has spent years coloring her lighter (and not so light) haired friends and neighbors so is great with blonde coloring and highlights!

We love the industrial yet warm feel of the Looks salon in Indiranagar but interiors aside, it’s great now that stylists Jay and Sunny (the duo of Hair by JaySun) have joined the Looks team.

4. BLOWN

Being at Blown feels more like being at some cool, industrial bar. And it almost is! Their very own F&B manager Meghna stocks this salon with quite the wine and cocktail menu. The reception desk doubles as a bar which displays a selection of wine and spirits. Sip on a glass of Ice Wine (!) or a Pitcher of Sangria all while getting your blowout done. A great place to see and be seen, this trendy salon is the ideal spot to get your hair done with some friends before a night on the town! Services include cuts, hair treatments and blow drys using Sebastian or Balmain products as well as hair removal.

Vurve offers Keratin treatments and are aware of global trends. Vurve uses high quality branded products such as Kerastase and L’Oréal.

Enrich Koramangala

12. ENRICH

With multiple branches in the city, Enrich offers a wide range of salon services -right from face clean-ups to hair spas. A favorite is the Kerastase Bespoke hair spa where the specialist concocts the scrub, serum and mask according to your hair woes (and considering the Bangalore weather we always go in with hair loss and dry scalp troubles). Ask for their detailed Hair rituals menu to choose what you like or rather need for your hair. Enrich’s stylists usually suggest what will suit a person rather than what’s trending and never recommend products without you asking. And never have we ever come out crying after a cut (those horror stories are for some other post).
The prices aren’t exorbitant but a prior appointment is recommended.

VINE PRO TIP: Ask your stylist’s name and if you like their services you can request for the when you book your next appointment.

Haircut (Stylist): Rs. 975

Global Hair Color (Short Hair): Rs. 3,225

Wash + Blow Dry (Stylist): Rs. 875

Hair stylists here are known for being able to advise people on which style and color is best for someone’s face. Other services include hair texture services, cuts and color and hair treatments such as Keratin, Olaplex, Kerasmooth and other hair spas. Another plus about Uutopia’s exotic venue means that waiting for your appointment doesn’t mean you’re stuck in the waiting room and instead can hang out in the lush garden instead!
