Aubrey Nelson

Aubrey is simply THE best! She has a gift with color, and I’ve never found anyone who can color hair the way she can. She has a magic touch and can get color that you see in magazines/​editorials, PLUS she is really fun to hang out with and chat with while you get your hair done. Perfect combo.

I saw Aubrey for color several years ago in NYC. I have yet to find someone who can even come close to compare to her talent (including the people who actually trained her). I’m beyond picky and almost never liked how my hair was colored. it’s naturally mousey brownish blondish and so coloring it always ended up feeling either too light or too dark. She sincerely listened to what I wanted (which is just what she always does when she colors hair: very natural, easy to grow out, etc) and I am seriously going to start saving to travel to SLC for color if she doesn’t start frequenting NYC more often! She’s also so so nice and genuine. She needs to be cloned lol :)) but for real she’s the best!

Aubrey is magic! I had dyed my hair jet black for years and wanted to go platinum. We started with an ombré color for one visit and the next I was platinum. Her hair technique is like any other. She is also the most caring and thoughtful hairstylist I have met yet. My hair grows into the prettiest strokes of color because of the way she has painted my hair. I can’t see any other stylist after seeing her.

I am less than satisfied with the service I received from Aubrey and her assistant. I made an appointment a few weeks in advance and I was counting down the days. When I arrived after a two hour commute to the address on my confirmation email, the building appeared to be under renovation. After waiting twenty minutes and nobody showing I called the numbers given to me (her direct line), left voicemails as well as emailed back. I waited around salt lake in hopes I might hear back and didn’t. Over the course of nearly three months I have emailed and even commented on her social media, it wasn’t until leaving a snarky comment I got a response, she wanted me to private message her, so I did. She told me her reasons (it’s always the assistants fault), apologized, admitted to having my emails along with reminding me «it’s just hair». I’ve since had my harmless but honest comments of asking why I’ve not been contacted deleted and blocked. Honestly I’m just sad that even in the end I’m still disappointed lol. All of my friends in the hair industry are appalled at the service I’ve received, or lack thereof.

Aubrey is a hair coloring god. I know that sounds strong, but its true! After reading all of the great reviews here on Unilocal I booked an appointment with her this summer. She took me from brunette to the perfect shade of blonde in one appointment. Then I came back this fall and on a whim wanted to go bright red. Again, in one appointment she took me to the perfect red shade — no orange, just perfection. To top it off she’s the nicest and most sincere person you’ll meet. I cannot recommend Aubrey Nelson highly enough!!!

Aubrey Nelson is a very prestigious hair colorist. She is absolutely the best. I had really boring blonde hair and wanted to go back to being more of my natural blonde and she definitely achieved exactly what I wanted! I love it! The way it had grown out, after a couple months, you can’t even tell that I colored it. She definitely knows hair color very well. SLC is so very lucky to have Aubrey Nelson, a high end NYC colorist. I loved being in her chair. She is the nicest stylist I’ve gone to. She really made me feel comfortable and she wanted to genuinely get to know me. The experience was great and my hair was amazing all thanks to her!

Aubrey’s color techniques are unlike any where else I’ve been. I had previously went into two different salons trying to achieve a certain look and no one seemed to be able to do it. After going into her my hair is perfect and finally looks like what I have been wanting for months.

I found Aubrey here on Unilocal and I’m so glad I did!!!
Last summer I was trying to go from blonde to a light natural brunette color and I made the mistake of going to a beginner who made a complete mess of my hair. It was patchy and had a grey and green tone to it.
Aubrey listened to what I wanted. She worked fast and it turned out amazing! I love her painting technique, she put the highlights in all the right places and it looks so natural.
Not only is Aubrey good at doing hair, she is amazing at putting people at ease and is fun to talk to.
This girl knows what she is doing!

Amazing! Can’t say enough nice things. This is a woman who knows about color and how to apply it. She is a SLC treasure. Go see her before her raw talent takes her elsewhere.

Aubrey is a dream! Her color technique, and the end result, are nothing short of amazing. Hair painting offers a much more natural look than you will obtain using foils. I highly recommend her.

100% best colorist you’re going to be able to find in Utah, I can promise you that. I’m naturally dark brunette and she is the only person I trusted to take me red. She did it perfectly, and I’m so happy with how it turned out, plus she’s so fun to talk to and incredibly nice. Go to her, you won’t regret it!

I can’t say enough good about Aubrey! This girl has some serious talent backed up with state of the art training! Not only is she great with figuring out the right shades of color, but her application technique is flawless. I love that my color looks natural but fashion forward and current with a very ombré effect. No more highlight/​foil roots for me, which I LOVE!
I travel from Las Vegas to have Aubrey color my hair because I don’t trust anyone else. I recommend her to friends and family with no reservations. She has done great color correction work on my mom.
I am really particular about my hair and have only been really thrilled with my color since going to Aubrey. So consider yourself lucky that you found her, and book an appointment without worry. I do my homework and rely heavily on reviews when I am shopping around for services or products, so I write this review to help others that might be undecided.

I looked for a new colorist for years, and was never happy with their style– particularly in a land filled with people who «do hair.» Now I don’t know if I’d ever let anyone else color my hair! Aubrey is amazing. Her technique is awesome, and she totally knows what she’s doing. I’ve had her color my hair a few times, but last week I went from brunette to platinum blonde in a day… and I’m IN LOVE with my color! I’ve had dozens of people tell me that they’d never trust anyone to do something so drastic to their hair… I say it’s because they haven’t found the right person! Kind of one of those people you want to shout from the rooftops, but then not… because you don’t want to share your best kept secret kind of thing? :)

Aubrey just worked some serious magic on my hair. I have never had such a gorgeous, flawless, natural looking dye job. Ever. She studied in New York and spent an extra two years learning how to color with Bumble and Bumble. It’s obvious that she knows her stuff. You won’t regret making an appointment with her.

Aubrey is the best! She was recommended to me from a friend. I went in very excited for my hair to look just as good, and was more than pleased. Her technique is amazing and her training shows! I came in with a picture and left with my hair looking even better than my picture. She will make sure your hair is exactly what you want and succeeds in doing so. I recommend Aubrey is your next colorist. The compliments will never stop if you chose Aubrey!!!

I think the true mark of a good colorist is how well they do blondes. Very few colorists ever seem able to make a fake blond look natural, but Aubrey does! I especially like that she is one of only a handle of colorists that use the painting technique rather than foils – the color looks much more natural as a result. Aubrey just has an eye for making color look good. She pays attention to detail and does not hurry through the job. The first time Aubrey colored my hair, I was thrilled at how many compliments I got – I was sold and won’t go to anyone else.

aubrey is the only person i now trust with my hair color. she not only does an amazing job technically, but it’s always exactly what i want. she uses great product, and makes sure that it is also what YOU want. she helped fix my hair from a horrifying gray color that happened at at another salon, and she saved my color to an ombré i got sooo many compliments on. She also has amazing talent with and bridal/​editorial hair. she’s truly amazing. i won’t get my color anywhere else. her training shows in her work. i love her.

Love love love my hair every time Aubrey colors it. She truly is a genius when it comes to color. You’ve found a lifetime customer in me!

I had more compliments after Aubrey did my hair than any other time! Honestly I fall in love with my hair every time she colors it. It never feels like a routine or mindless work when she does my hair — it always feels very specialized, artistic and specific for me. Her eye for color, texture, and warmth is brilliant and I would recommend her to anyone. Since moving from her NYC salon, i travel to her so she can color my hair that lasts months and months. LOVE HER!

Aubrey is the BEST! She has a true talent when it comes to hair. She knows what looks good and makes it look so very natural. I’m not one to color my hair as I’m naturally a brunette. I decided to make a little change and consulted Aubrey. She added subtle color to lighten it up. It turned out great! I got more compliments on my hair than every before. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! I also had the pleasure of Aubrey styling my hair for my wedding. She of course did an amazing job! I would recommend her both for color and style. Worth it!
