"I can’t recommend CeeJae and The Velvet Salon enough. From the moment you walk into her salon, she makes you feel so welcomed. Her energy is truly beautiful and calming, which makes every appointment such a great experience."
"Ceejay is absolutely amazing! She listens to what you want and delivers!!! She is so thoughtful and attentive. I can’t rave enough about her scalp massages! She gives 110 percent of herself and more. She definitely gives what you want. She loves her clients so much. I can’t say enough good things about her."
"My most favorite place to get my hair done. I don't trust anyone with my hair like I do with Cee Jae. She is one of a kind, genuine, and delivers every time with the vision I have in mind. I have never been one to feel happy with my hair appointments until meeting Cee Jae two years ago, and I've never looked back. If I could give 100 stars I would.

Hair color isn’t one-size-fits-all—and choosing the right service shouldn’t feel confusing.
At The Velvet Salon, we organize our color services based on what you’re actually trying to achieve, not just techniques or terminology.
Whether you’re maintaining your current color, adding brightness, making a change, or correcting something that feels off, we guide you to the right place to start.
How to Choose the Right Service
Start by thinking about your goal, not the service name.
Most clients fall into one of these categories (click on each category to jump to the specific services).
You like your current color—you just want to keep it looking fresh, covered, and consistent.
You want something softer and longer-lasting that grows out naturally with fewer appointments.
You want to add brightness, depth, or dimension without fully changing your look.
Something feels off—tone, uneven color, or past color work—and you want it fixed.
You’re ready for a noticeable change in your color or overall look.
You want to soften or blend gray in a natural, lower-maintenance way.

How does this fit into your hair lifecycle?
Your hair isn’t static—it moves through phases after every appointment.
Understanding where you are helps you choose what you actually need next.
Fresh Phase (0–4 weeks)
Your hair feels aligned—color, shape, and styling are working with ease.
→ Focus: maintain what’s already working
Shift Phase (4–6 weeks)
Things start to feel slightly off—color softens, shape grows, styling takes more effort.
→ This is where services like a Color Refresh bring everything back into balance
Support Phase (in-between)
You don’t need a full reset—just a targeted adjustment to refine tone, shape, or health
→ Small services here prevent bigger corrections later
Reset Point (3–4+ months)
Your hair no longer reflects what you want—it’s time for a full refresh or transformation
→ This is where anchor services like Lived-In Color (Low-Maintenance Blonde/Brunette) come back in
👉 When your services match your phase, your hair stays intentional—without overdoing it or waiting too long.
