"Walking in off the street blindly putting all power into whatever random stylist is available RARELY turns out great... or even good. It's like haircut Russian Roulette.

I chanced it and ended up with Jon. He did a great job, was creative but kept it professional (my only request). I've never been so instantly impressed with a haircut.

I will definitely be returning."

"Hi Todd - Just wanted to say thanks again for sending me the gift certificate so quickly. It was a big hit with my friend! She knows of your salon, and can't wait to use it. I told her that you personally helped me, and provided great customer service. I'm sure you will have a new permanent client! :)"

"Dear Todd and Stephen~
I wanted to tell you about my experience at your salon yesterday. I had my first facial ever! My son gave me a gift certificate that I finally used, and I wasn’t disappointed. First your spa is really beautiful and calming. Second, Jennifer was wonderful, skilled, and knowledgeable. I recommended her to a friend, who now has her own appointment.
Thanks for providing such an awesome place to go!
Sincerely

PS~ my mom, Elaine has been coming to the Bladerunner for years! That’s how I found you!

"I love SLO and I visit too little--maybe once every year or two, and usually in passing on the way to someplace further south. I would live here if I could find a good job. I think I just have to look harder!

This time I was on a mission just for this town that I love. My first stop after the 4 hour drive down was to Bladerunner.

I got a nice 1-hr. deep tissue massage and felt really good afterwards. Vincent used just the right pressure so I wasn't wincing when he worked on the knots. I don't believe in having to be in total pain to have things worked out.

Afterwards, I was pampered by Aimee, who gave me a nice pedicure. At first I was skeptical of the quality, because I've had bad experiences with non-Vietnamese nail shops. But she didn't disappoint me--my polish and toes still look great, and I was completely relaxed and could take my time letting them dry, etc. She and I talked a bit and she was really sweet. She even recommended some job sites for me to check out. "

"The Bladerunner Salon is very nice and spacious. The spa area is separate from the salon with its own little waiting room that is quiet. I feel that they have one of the best day spas on the Central Coast! I have been coming to the Bladerunner for my brazilian bikini waxings and I can recommend both Nora and Jennifer. Between both of them they offer appointments 7 days a week and I can usually get an appointment within a couple of days. They do a very good job and are fast!"

"My very favorite hair-stylist Tiffany (who I still drive down to SLO to see) just moved over to Blade-Runner, so I guess that means I moved to Blade-Runner too.

It is so nice when you go in. Warm and rich coloring, pretty glassware on the walls, very clean, very Zen music. The stylists have a dress-code and all look like people I'd trust my appearance to, but they are all very different in personality, which I like.

Of course I loved my hair-do, cause I love Tiffany, but it was even better cause she seemed so happy there as a stylist. She told me that it was run very professionally, which is always nice to hear as a customer.

Best part - they serve wine. I didn't have any cause it was 11am, but I noticed an attractive middle-aged housewife with a glass of white. Very classy.

I can't speak for the massage services, but I would love to go back for a treatment. It's cool and chic, but not snobby. I wish I could afford to be a regular."

"The Blade Runner has totally revamped itself since 2000. Not that it was horrible in 2000, it just wasn't as chic!

I went up to SLO....mmmm...just a couple weeks ago and they had moved across the street from their old location. 2 of my friends work there and failed to tell me how much it's changed. From their hair stations to their sinks...it was really nice...nicer than most I've seen down here in LA.

They have a separate massage area and Jon my masseur was awesome. I had an hour long massage...no specific "kind" (ie Shiatsu, deep tissue, Swedish, etc.)...I just told him, "make it an hour long...for a dancer..." and he knew exactly how to get my hip area and my leg and back area...it was awesome.

Blade Runner is definitely one of those SLO jewels...if you're a student, I would definitely save up and treat myself at least once a quarter. I wish I did!!"

"I was driving to SLO to visit my boyfriend and when I got there my back was in pain. So the next day I had to set up an appointment for a massage and they had an available time slot for the same day. I forgot the name of the massage therapist but he was a guy and he did a GREAT job. He got the all of the knots out of my back and trust me my back was jacked up... The massage therapist probably could feel the pain I was in from the knots I had in my back... He saved my life for the day."
