About

Blackbird Salon is a hair salon in the Church Hill area of Richmond, near the edge of Shockoe Bottom. The team page lists the business as established in 2008, and Jacquelyn Marie owns it as proprietor and Master Stylist. The posted booking hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 am to 5 pm, with the salon closed Monday, Saturday and Sunday. Free garage parking with a key fob is available.

Every appointment is one-on-one with the stylist, with no assistants and no double-booking. New clients are asked to send a consultation note before booking, and the salon replies within 24 hours. Client communication happens by text message rather than email. Each service begins with a conversation about the client's hair and routine, and color and balayage clients can book a free consultation of about 15 to 60 minutes.

The salon describes its feel as clean, artistic and welcoming, and calls itself an intimate, modern studio. It says its focus is natural-looking beauty, precision cutting and personalized color. Services are grouped into cuts and color, with bridal and event styling listed separately.

Color correction is booked as a block-the-day appointment, placed as the last appointment of the day, with a minimum block of 4.5 hours. It is quoted at the consultation and never quoted without seeing the hair first. Multi-session color correction plans are paid per session rather than upfront.

Bridal styling includes concierge work on site at The Magnolia Mansion for the bridal party on the wedding day, with trial sessions and a flat-fee signature package that covers tax, travel and gratuity.

Stylists work as independent professionals within the collective, and each sets their own schedule, services and pricing. The Church Hill location also rents booth and studio chairs to stylists. The salon does not offer men's haircuts, fades, beard work or barber-style grooming, but it refers men to ManCave Aesthetics for grooming through its Friends of Blackbird referral.

Each service is built around a consultation first, starting with a conversation about the client's hair and daily routine.

Clean, artistic and welcoming, in an intimate studio setting.
