Stylist, Dani, was very professional, asked a lot of questions, HEARD my responses and took great care to recommend what may be done with my curly hair based upon what I wanted and what was realistic. Very good experience. read more

LATE REVIEW: I grappled with giving this a 3 stars because I wasn't satisfied with my hair BUT that's a me thing (keep reading for the details), I'm giving it a 4 because the customer service was outstanding. Finding a new hairstylist is just as difficult as finding a new doctor. Whenever I move to a new area I try to ask for referrals from people who have similar hair to mine. I was referred to Alfa Jae Salon by someone who also has curly hair, however, after my visit I learned the person who referred me only gets their hair colored and gets it cut somewhere else. Here's what I liked about the salon: Everyone there was wonderful, they had a very cool eclectic vibe and lots of women were getting unique hair coloring done. I've always worn my hair straight but I'm ready to embrace my natural curl so I made the appointment requesting a cut and styling tips on how to manage my curls. The stylist was very sweet, she gave me a quick tutorial on how to add product and trying techniques, however the cut was average. The owner overheard our conversation because I was asking a lot of questions about layering and needing more shape and she immediately stepped in with some advice for the stylist. I didn't love my hair when I left but I also did hate it. I later learned the stylist I selected was still in training so that made a lot of sense on some of the apprehension she demonstrated and she said if it didn't work out I could come back. Now that I've learned more about styling curly hair I think if I would have scrunched out the crunch and did a little shaking it would have met my expectations. I'll be honest, I am very picky about my hair and own being a difficult client. This salon is great but I needed a more seasoned stylist, had I known she was a junior stylist I would have likely not made the appointment. read more

An angel must have guided me to Alfa Jae Salon. On the Saturday before Mother's Day, I called several salons, but most were closed or fully booked--understandably so. Then I reached out to Alfa Jae Salon. A gentleman answered the phone and, after hearing my request for a highlight appointment, he suggested, "Yes. Can you make it at 11 AM? Better yet, how about 10?" I was taken aback by the promptness but agreed. Upon arrival, I informed the receptionist of my appointment. She relayed the message to the stylists, who gathered around to hear her. The service I received was exceptional. As I was settling the bill, one of the stylists remarked, "We do not have a man who answers calls or works with us." This statement sent chills down my spine. I showed them my call log, and they were equally astonished. My experience was nothing short of perfect--flawless hair, a welcoming atmosphere, and a team that truly cares. Thank you, Alfa Jae, for making me feel like the best version of myself. read more

This is my 3rd time at this salon & I'm never disappointed. This time I got the Curly Cultivated Cut. Jazmine did a fantastic job and gave me lots of tips/product recs for maintaining my natural hair. My hair feels moisturized & my curls pop. Will be back again. read more

Best customer service and talent you'll find in the area!! They listen and get it right the first time. Ashley is amazing, as is Jae (the owner). I have stubborn 2B color hair (dark brown hair), that is fine and thin. It never takes to bleach, and they have never fried my hair and Ashley always seems to get it done in one sitting! Prices and atmosphere is perfect. They are LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly!!! read more

Great experience with Jae and Jazmine - went in with an idea and a few picture for shortening my already short hair (summer sweatathon has started and I just can't). They asked questions to give me the best results and adjusted accordingly. Great feeling to be in a space that was so welcoming and kind. Very reasonable prices. I love my new look and will definitely be back! read more

Lolita is a wonderful stylist; very thorough, kind and talented. I came in for an all over dimensional balayage to go from black to warmer auburn brown. Lolita was honest and very upfront about what we could accomplish during my first color appointment to get me on my way to being the color I wanted to be, all while keeping my hair healthy. She gave me such beautiful dimensional balayage highlights and color that I can wear for the next 6-8 weeks until I see her again for more balayage highlights. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a great colorist. read more

i waited to give my review on this place but i can't come to like my hair. for new clients there's a new client fee, and a consultation fee lol. i didn't even get a consultation, we didn't talk about my goals or anything the consultation description lists. i was seen by Jae, i sat down, she just asked if i wanted a trim and she immediately began to cut without asking how much i wanted off. After the first cut i had to stop her & ask, but since she had already cut off that much there was nothing to do at that point. i literally was so heartbroken after i got home. my hair was too short, had she just asked like literally any other stylist i've gone to does, i wouldn't have had a problem. ever since this haircut i've noticed an immense increase in tangles in my hair. i didn't feel welcomed by her considering she is the business owner. she seemed just ehh about her time there, i tried to talk about my hair and its history but she didn't care to talk about it. the actual cut was super super quick, like five min it was truly disappointing bc it was my first curly haircut. but i do really wish i would've just gone to get a regular haircut. bad haircut, i was given short layers that literally make it look like i have a bob which i never asked for. read more

I love getting my hair done by Jae. The environment is warm and welcoming and the staff is friendly. I recommend her for color and styling.

I couldn't have asked for a better stylist. I just moved to North Carolina and I have been searching for a new hair stylist. Jae was so informative and made sure to reassure me she would make sure I left happy. She was very welcoming and such a pleasure, She color corrected my hair and gave me suggestions on how to help my hair live its best life after I get home. I am so happy to announce she is my new hair stylist in this new state for me. she lifted my color a lot , I have one more final session . I love my hair experience read more

Jae Betts is the best hair stylist in North Carolina. She actually is the best hairstylist I've ever had. Before I moved to NC I went to the same stylist for 7 years so when I moved here I had to find someone to do my hair. I keep my hair platinum blonde with edgy, choppy, long layers and it's so hard for anyone to get it exactly like I want it; but not Jae, she has the magic touch when it comes to my hair! Check her out on FB Jae Bee; Hairstylist! read more
