Kaeli was so kind and did such an amazing job! She went above and beyond to go out of her way to make me comfortable and work with a very generic idea I had. The shop itself is gorgeous and everyone is so very kind! read more

Liz did an awesome job with my balayage, and she was extremely personable and easy to talk with, to top it off! They also squeezed me in last minute! Great experience. read more

I've been on the hunt for a good salon in the area. Moved down from NY about a year ago and was very sad to leave my hairdresser there. Luckily I found Aylah. She did a great job and was super nice. The salon itself is also very welcoming and stocked with drinks which was a nice touch. I've already recommended to several people! read more

Samuel is THE BEST. He takes time to understand what you are looking for and makes good suggestions that will work for you. He's easy to chat with for the hours it takes to get it done right. Very professional and fun! read more

I went to Ceremony to get my hair styled for my engagement photos. My hair is long, thick, frizzy, and totally annoying in the southern humidity. I wanted my hair down with some romantic loose curls, but I was worried that it would frizz out by the time I got to the engagement session..... no ma'm. The gal who styled it (I don't think she's there anymore, this was about a year ago) did a great job of putting the right amount of hold in while still allowing movement. My hair looked awesome even the next day after sleeping on it! I went back a few weeks later to have all my hair cut off into a short pixie cut because I had started chemo and it was about to fall out and I wanted to donate what I could. Again, the girls there were awesome. I was freaking out and scared and they made me feel great and help me get a super short cut and told me if I didn't like it, I could come back and they would fix it for me. Just so nice. the haircut was cute enough, although honestly I might not have loved anything at that point because I didn't want short hair, but the atmosphere was great and they really made sure I was comfortable. read more

This was my first "real" hair appointment in a few years and I wanted to make a major change with a fresh cut. I booked an appointment with Kaeli and she was fantastic! She listened to everything I told her and created EXACTLY the cut I was hoping for! I could not be happier. The salon is modern, welcoming and lovely. read more

I had super high hopes. The people were nice and punctual but I got the worst haircut of my life. I look like Julia Roberts after her haircut in Steel Magnolias. Friends and family agree. 75.00 thrown away and now I have to find someone else to attempt to correct a bad hair cut. I don't even want to go out in public. read more

I went to Ceremony over the summer and had my bright, sunny blonde balayaged brown. After crying to the receptionist, I was placed on a different stylists schedule for a full foil. I was told it would take 3 full foil sessions to get me back to my bright blonde. Come session #3 (and LOTS of $$$ later), my hair was grey. I changed salons and now drive to Raleigh. I have been very happy there, but the remains of my last ceremony appointment linger. The bottom half of my hair is still very dark no matter how many times my new stylist tries to "bump" the toner out. I am going to have to chop it to get rid of the darkness. Long story short, I do not recommend Ceremony for blondes! read more

I booked an appointment with Aylah online for a full baylage. It had been an embarrassing amount of time since my last cut or color and my hair needed some major attention. I have very long hair and at previous salons I have been to usually takes around 4 hours. But Aylah was wonderful! She transformed my hair and I couldn't be happier. And she did it all in half the time it normally takes someone. I could not be happier and if anymore is looking for a fun stylist with some serious talent for color then please go see her! read more

My friend and I made an appointment to get a blow out and an updo for her wedding day. Erica was wonderful! I told her that the wedding was going to be about 6 hours long and asked if she could do whatever it has to take in order to make my curls stay. She did such an amazing job that my hair was still curly the next day and I was able to wear it as is for another day. My friends updo was so pretty and she even showed me how to pin the flower back if it was to fall out. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town and need a blow out. read more

I have been Rachel's client for 5 years now. She is a fantastic stylist, she has done hair for New York fashion week and is incredibly creative. Rachel has styled my hair from short to long and back again. I have gone from a pixie cut to below shoulder length and back to a bob. She has rocked every cut and every style. Rachel also does fabulous color. Make an appointment, you won't be disappointed. read more

Everyone here is amazing and beautiful and kind. But my review is for Annie. She is AMAZING!!!! I went to her for my first time coloring my hair. She did such a wonderful job, my dad (who was always against me coloring my hair) told me it looked better than my natural color!!! I came to Annie a second time wanting something a little darker and more dramatic. She did such an amazing job I'm still in awe!! She gave me the perfect balance of what I thought I wanted and what her artistic side wanted, my hair has never looked better. THANK YOU ANNIE!!!! read more

This place is amazing! Katie is the best stylist in the world! I actually followed her over here from Moshi Moshi (I finally found her!). I have never had a bad cut from her and today was no exception! Additionally, the atmosphere is super nice here and they don't push you to buy products, etc... I 100% recommend this salon and especially the magical and amazing Katie! read more

I had a lovely cut with Alyshia. I am the kind of person who gets a hair cut every other year, if that. I wanted to get my hair cut before graduation and there was an opening that perfectly fit my schedule. The salon itself is beautiful and spacious, with great lighting and chic decor. Alyshia was amiable and we chatted during the wash and cut. I'm a bit anxious about cutting my long hair, so she cut a few inches off before I decided to go a little higher. I'm very pleased with the cut! It's nice to have the weight off my head, especially as summer rolls around. Booking online was easy and the location is very convenient from UNC campus (just take the CW, J, or F down to Carrboro if you don't have a car). There was parking nearby in the little shopping center that houses Cat's Cradle and a parking deck is available behind the building. This place definitely deserves 5 stars! read more

These ladies are amazing. I scheduled appointments for my mum and I to get our hair cut. I had some photos and they took the time to chat with us about our hair, what we wanted, how we style it, and it is absolutely everything we could have asked for. If you're looking for an awesome salon with some kick butt, knowledgeable staff, this is the place to go!! read more

I was a client of Aylah's in Seattle and was so bummed to have her move away! She was great with my hair which is fine and thin. She gave me excellent cuts to maximize what I have. She is also really great with color, I always left feeling styley and happy. Beyond her expertise in hair, she is just a great person and really fun to talk to. NC is lucky to have her! read more

Rachel is amazing!!!!!!! But so are all the stylists I've met! Great space, friendly-trendy-but not too "overly" trendy-love the product lines they have. Looking for a new hair experience you should call :) read more

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Annie and the team at Ceremony for my bridal hair and make up. Annie listened to my during my trials and was an expert. She made me look fabulous as well. This salon is extremely organized, professional and has a great ambiance. Alicia at the front desk is on top of her stuff and always a professional! I absolutely LOVED working with Annie. She does both hair and make-up which makes her kind of a one-stop bridal unicorn. This salon is fair priced and really amazing. I will definitely return. read more

This place is amazing! Came in a few months ago having a breakdown because my hair was done horribly at a place up the road. Chanelle was able to fit me in and totally fix my color! I came in today to get a half head balayage by Katie & it looks amazing! I felt so great both times! Stylist there take the time to listen to want you want & make sure it's delivered. Definitely recommended!! read more

Ceremony rocks! After a few failed highlight/trim attempts in various other salons in the area I am so happy that Ceremony opened its doors and I was able to have Annie work on my hair. She knew exactly how to handle highlights in my blond hair and gave me beautiful, textured color without damaging my hair in the least! It feels softer and smoother than it has in months. I couldn't have spent my afternoon in better company and I can't wait to go back! read more

Chanell did a beautiful job on my cut and color...She sat down with me before we got started so that she could understand what I wanted. She's super fun and easy to talk to ....and amazing with hair!~ read more

I've found my new go-to salon in the area! The service and ambiance of Ceremony are both awesome, and the staff is really knowledgeable. Love the haircut I got from Amelia. Will definitely be returning! read more

I went to Ceremony Salon for the first time today. I have fine, curly hair (usually frizzy in NC humidity). I saw Rori who gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I left with soft, defined curls. Rori is so sweet, unassuming, and down to earth -- but, most importantly, she's amazing at cutting (and coloring) hair. If you struggle with your curls, she's your girl. The salon itself is clean and elegantly designed, and my experience felt like a mid-day getaway. read more

Kyle did a great job on my hair. I needed a wash/blow dry and it turned out great!!! Thanks! Also I loved the setting of the salon - open airy and has a great vibe. read more

Where to even begin? This place is an oasis of splendor, a haven of pleasure. I saw Kyle yesterday for a fix from a Virginia salon balayage botch job. My hair was a DISASTER. Completely fried, toned to an orangey, brassy mess, and all over save 2 inch roots. Kyle worked nothing less than magic I tell you. Amazing beyond words. And all while being genuine, funny, and personal. A stand up guy with the chops to keep you coming again again for the goddess experience. The products are carefully cultivated, and divine. And their prices are fantastic. Do yourself a favor and get yourself there, you'll be so happy you did. read more

KYLE IS AMAZING! I recently moved to the area and figured it would take me a while to find a new stylist that I like and understands my needs. I don't have to look any further. Kyle is an ultra-intelligent artist whose creative expression finds its way onto the hair of those graced with his work. He brings the special occasion to the every day, and it comes forth in his work. The color is amazing -- he did a shimmery rich plum/burgundy over golden blonde color combo and brought out my goddess tresses, elegant, beautiful and punk rock all at the same time. read more

I saw Lindsey today and she taught me so much about my own hair. Not only was this the best haircut I've ever received, but Lindsey walked me through what she was doing, what was wrong with the way my hair had been cut before (I just moved to the area from MA), and how to style my hair step by step. Fantastic experience! Ceremony is a nice space, friendly staff, fair prices, 10/10 would recommend. read more

Just moved here from California. I am so glad to find Ceremony Salon. Lindsey Reiner did my cut and color perfectly. I already made another appointment to return. The salon is so big and the décor is really cool. I love all the products they have for sale. Parking is very convenient. Everyone I met at this salon was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The location is great as is the vibe (you can relax during your appt. with a glass of wine), which makes up a bit for their high prices. However, I ended up with one of THE WORST haircuts of my life. The stylist, cut a huge dense chunk out of my hair on one side only! I do understand that stylists can and will make mistakes, but it is painful because I emphasized how I desperately wanted to keep the length. Yet somehow, in spite of our consult and the example pics I brought, she managed to hack a lot of length off and a chunk of about 6 inches on the one side. No joke, the chunk itself is uneven in length and extends from the front of my face to the center back on that side. It is so obvious that people have asked me if I got a brush stuck in my hair or cut it myself. I can't even hide it by pulling my hair back, because the layer is so short it hangs down and curls inward - kind of like I have a one-sided bowl cut. Even worse, I went to another stylist to see if I could get it blended or fixed, but the chunk is so dense that the only option they gave me was to cut my hair short. Painful. And again, I get mistakes happen, but overall the cut looked dated (think rachel from friends), with its block layers (3 distinct tiers that don't blend), and in no way resembled the pictures I showed. She managed to transform my natural beachy waves into a mop of straight locks peppered with cowlicks. I will say that although the color looked nothing at all like the pictures I showed (less sombre and more chunky 90's highlights), the color itself turned out decent, with no brassy undertone. Anyway, it may have been an off-day, but I would caution you to think twice before you overpay here. *Attached pic of hair after 2 months of growth read more

Ceremony Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Carrboro, North Carolina

Not a place to get men's haircut, especially not for the price. I understand they want to attract higher clientele but $50 dollars for a snip here and a cut there is not worth it compared to other places that charge $15-$20 for an actual haircut. The hairdresser who provided the service seemed nice at first. We spoke about the current stage of my hair (which was bad) and how I did not have a very good experience with a previous hairdresser from a different salon. She seemed reassuring and gave the impression that she knew what I wanted in a haircut. After the wash (which felt is what I charged for) and the first two awkward side hair snips, it became evident that she did not and even admitted it saying that her husband (who happens to work there as well) is better at men's cut than she is. I trusted her. As the haircut went on--which I was trying to stay positive about--she seemed haughty, patronizing, and completely disregarded what we had previously talked about regarding to the haircut. It was very uncomfortable. I understand that this is solely one employee of Ceremony Salon, but it makes you wonder if she is a reflexion of every other employee there. She seemed astute in business matters, and it was transparent that she was trying to make a quick buck. I certainly did not leave with "high quality, inspired work" as the website prides itself on accomplishing. read more

I really liked my colorist/stylist, Justine, who I visited on 2 occasions, therefore better than a one-star rating. But the front desk attitude was condescending and insulting when I questioned a $55 charge for what was truly a trim (my shoulder-length hair didn't require pinning up, there was so little cutting and it took about about 5 minutes.) I sas told , "We make no distinction because we cut all of the hairs on your head." Frankly, I doubt that's true. And paying $175 with tip every 3 weeks for color and a trim is beyond the pale. read more

Impromptu appointment with Lindsey Reiner, and she did the most amazing highlight job: careful, thoughtful, creative, exactly what I wanted. Also, Lindsey said that Rachel Radford is a great boss and salon owner. I proudly support customer-friendly businesses with happy employees, so I'll be back! Rachel, will you please join on as a certified Orange County Living Wage employer? That would make y'all, already the best, even better! read more

I had an awesome experience at Ceremony. Aylah Mayim was terrific to work with. She listened to what I wanted and gave me great suggestions. The result was the best haircut I have had in years. I will definitely be back to see Aylah at Ceremony. read more

I've had cut and balayage color five times here. Last two times I've been charged for a full haircut when all I got was a trim. The color has been great, but the after-styling has always looked pretty bad and I have to wear my hair up for the rest of the day. Also they seem to be pushing the sale of their products pretty hard after each visit. I'm giving up on this place and won't be back. read more

It was so hard to find a good hair stylist when I was new to the area two years ago. I went through 3 different Chapel Hill salons before Ceremony Salon opened, and I am so grateful a dear friend of mine recommended it! Annie is a true gem. She knows what to do which makes it so easy to trust her. She gave me an awesome "Lob" last year and now that I'm growing it longer, she manages to gracefully style my hair so it avoids any of the awkward phases. Love her! :) read more

The hair styling was pretty average, however, they did not tell me that three specific styles were $125, so a VERY SIMPLE side bun cost $125 and their website led us believe that all updos were $75, so you have to be upfront about your price preference. Leaving here annoyed and overcharged... read more

You couldn't ask for more caring and compassionate stylists! I came in this week for the first time - I moved to NC a few weeks ago and had a permanent straightening touch up at a different salon in Raleigh that damaged my hair severely. Amelia spent close to 3 hours consulting me, sympathizing deeply over the psychological toll the hair loss will be for me for the foreseeable future and offering an incredible amount of support and guidance. Alyshia examined my hair as well and was just as amazing - their emotional response was if I had been a client for years. I cannot express how grateful I am to both these ladies and how blown away I was with everything they did for my hair and psyche. Being so new to NC, I don't know a lot of people here, so feeling as though I have friends in Carrboro to listen and literally cry in sympathy is unbelievable - I'll forever be grateful. There's no doubt that Amelia, Alyshia and Ceremony Salon have easily won my complete loyalty - they have a client for life. read more

I had a full balayage with Alyshia Polk and hair cut that was the BEST cut and color I have ever had. I relocated from NY and would consider myself a picky hair person. She listened to me carefully, looked at all my Pinterest pictures and thoughtfully explained the best colors / process to meet my requests. I asked for her opinion and she delivered with actual feedback, which I appreciated because I wanted a professional take. She took her time and I didn't feel rushed at all. The salon was airy and very relaxing. I would highly recommend her. read more

I've gotten two haircuts here, from two different stylists, and neither has been great. I really wanted to like this place because it got such high reviews on Yelp. read more

If you want amazing color and cut, Aylah is your girl. She is truly incredible at what she does.
