What a hidden gem! Cilantro provides full service with heartfelt care. Specializing in hair color and unique artistic flare in hair styling. I also really love the eclectic soundtracks. Located across from Kroger's on Hickory, the Salon provides bang for your buck. read more

One of the best salon experiences I have ever had! Highly recommended by friends. Drove 1hr and it was worth every minute. Stylist was super professional and took her time with my hair! End result was exactly what I wanted and I will be coming back :) read more

We are traveling and I went in for a bang trim. I didn't want my whole hair cut yet . They did great with just the bang trim ! I love that I was just able to get that instead of having to do a whole hair cut . The atmosphere was super nice . Everything was decorated so nicely. Also they are super inclusive. We were also offered free snacks and a drink ! They had chips, meat sticks , granola bars and banana/apple chips. so that was a nice touch . 10/10 place ! read more

Horrible service. Fraudulent charges. Not willing to fix mistakes. High quality tools, low quality stylist . Cheap vibe, stylist go around talking trash about their previous clients all through the salon read more

I absolutely could not be more pleased with my appointment with Carol. She is a joy to talk to, but also an amazing stylist. Aside from her exceptional skill, she listened carefully to me about what I was hoping for, and checked in as she styled to be sure I was happy. I cannot recommend her or this adorable salon enough. read more

Couldnt ask for a better experience!!! Jasa and Becca are amazing!!! Thank you so much!! It's the perfect color for my perfect day read more

I showed up for scheduled appointment as new client and was super excited as new to area and excited for new stylist and salon w Sunday hours as my work schedule is intense. Salon is 30 min drive but ok w that. I showed up and she was running late. I said no problem ! Approx 25 min later she came out and asked about my hair cut (only cut - no color or other services) ) and I told her I had short shag / bob thing going on. She stated she was not comfortable w doing cut . I honestly could not believe what I was hearing in that I am not complicated. Basically I was refused a service / cut I don't know what to say as apparently stylist has hair length prerequisites on her capabilities... never seen that before and nothing in marketing which indicated this. Bottom line - ruined my day as had big meetings that week and was totally let down w refusal to perform service. To date have not recd refund re appt deposit either. read more

Since moving back to Indiana from Boston, I have been struggling to find a new hairstylist. After reading several 5/5 star reviews on Yelp and Google, as well as hearing great things from coworkers, I decided to give Cilantro Hair Spa a try. Carol transformed my hair from dull and brassy highlights to this gorgeous brunette hue. I am so happy with my results and service today. Carol was very thorough, informative, and detailed in effort to achieve the exact style I asked for. She and her staff were beyond accommodating and personable. I had a phenomenal experience today, and highly recommend Carol and Cilantro Hair Spa! Thanks Carol! read more

Jasa is the most wonderful hairdresser!! She has been most accommodating and she has done a wonderful job high highlighting and low lighting my hair!!! Cannot say enough about what a great job she has done!!! read more

This was the first time I came to this salon, and I was very impressed with the services. I came in for a perm, and I'm very happy with the results! The photo is just after the perm, so it will take a couple days to settle, but it's so wavy and fun! The stylist was both extremely kind and very experienced. She made specific recommendations based on my hair-type, length, and desired style. She didn't cut off more than I requested, but made corrections to my hair to keep it looking healthy and strong. Thank you!!!! read more

I haven't been able to find a hair stylist I've liked since I've moved down here. I took a shot and getting my hair done here and I was super impressed! This was my last cut and color before my wedding and Jasa knocked it lit of the park. It is a little pricy, but I think it was well worth it. read more

Went today after reading reviews. I was looking for a place where stylist will listen to what I wanted for hair cut. Carol did great job with hair cut. It was not a snooty and stuffy salon meant for young people, only. The other workers were friendly .Planning to go back again. I felt very comfortable in this place read more

It was my first time at Cilantro salon yesterday. I brought my sister as well for a cut from Nick. His service was excellent and we will be back! We noticed a few hairs not even in length so he took the time to double and triple check for an even cut. Lastly, I'm a mom of a small child and I'm nervous with COVID going around again. I asked Nick if he'd mind wearing a mask and he happily said of course. In fact all the other staff heard and also put on masks. This was so kind of you all and made me feel really comfortable. Thank you! read more

I had a express Brazilian blowout with Brandi over a week ago. She answered all my questions & was so nice & friendly I'm so happy with it. My hair is naturally wavy & it always looks frizzy. Not any more!!!! So happy.. will definitely be going back!!! read more

I went here with high expectations because they had such good reviews, unfortunately I left with a mess of hair. My hair was done by Elizabeth and it looked atrocious but I was there for so long that I could not say anything because they were closed (I got there as soon as they opened and left 2 hours after closing). My hair was horribly damaged. I had the go the next day to a different stylist at a different salon to get my hair fixed it was so bad. Make sure you check the work of the people that work here before you stop in. read more

Great service. Pricey but worth it. Fast and efficient. Friendly. Will go again. Not crowded.

I had highlights and lowlights, cut and brows. Brandi was great! I will definitely be back!

This place is the best. My first visit was done in desperation... I had missed a scheduled hair appointment somewhere else and, with super short hair, needed something now. Even though they were almost closed, Brandi squeezed me in and cut my hair. The best haircut I have had in a long long time. I made another appointment which was today. Fabulous customer service, another excellent cut, and, it was good enough that my sister immediately made an appointment for herself. The only bad thing I can say about this place is that I hadn't found it sooner. read more

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! I hit the jackpot when I randomly selected Cilantro Hair Spa for my two blow outs for my son's graduation weekend at Notre Dame. Carol, the owner, graciously accommodated my schedule and came in before the salon normally opened, two days in a row. Now on to the amazing blow outs - WOW! She is a pro. First, the fabulous products they use, Kerastase, and then second, her blow dry skills are fantastic. I looked amazing, ha! She got me in and out with a professional blow dry in less than 45 minutes and I was her priority. I truly am so thankful to Carol and so wish she lived in Ft. Lauderdale so I could go to her for blow outs, cuts and color. I get blow outs around the US when I travel and this one was the best! Make the call to Cilantro; you'll be so happy you did! read more

I had a blowout by Carol and she was great! I was greeted right away and taken back to a chair. Carol listened to what I wanted and my hair looked great. My hair is dry and she gave it lots of TLC. I recommend going here. I'll be going back! read more

I have been going to Cilantro for a year now... and I can attest that the person who wrote the nasty 1 star "review" is nothing more than a disgruntled former employee. I have nothing to gain by writing this, other than to tell you that everything in the 1 star "review" is inaccurate. Carol is my stylist and is more about growing her team, than herself. I have a son and never has him being in the salon been a problem (but, I don't bring him much because a salon is no place for a child). Every salon has a markup, otherwise, they'd make no money and any client of the salon is a client of the entire salon. With all that non-sense aside, let me tell you about this hidden gem of a hair spa... my hair has NEVER looked so great. I came to carol with damaged blonde hair and today I have the healthiest blonde hair that gets tons of compliments. Carol is flexible with her hours, accommodating to my needs and budget, skilled in her craft and a true asset to the hair business. You can read any one of my 100+ Yelp reviews and see that I am in no way affiliated with this salon or just a one time, jump on Yelp, make up a screen name and post a crappy review because I was fired "reviewer". I hope that you'll visit Cilantro for yourself and see that there is not only great value there (the prices can't be beat), but also, exceptional quality hair services in a very unpretentious and fun environment. While you're here... check out their website at www.cilantrohairspa.com! read more

The people were nice but my hair wasnt done at all how I asked I even had a pic from their salon. The die job was so bad. When I tried to get it fixed they sat up another appointment but wanted to charge me more for them to fix it. read more

I have been coming to Cilantro for a few years and love it. The staff is friendly and professional. My stylist is Mandy, and she is exceptional! She always listens to my needs and offers suggestions and is very helpful! Definitely would recommend. read more

Before I found Cilantro, I was between hair salons and wasn't sure where to go next. My former stylist moved to a further location, so I was left looking for a salon with similar prices for the same quality. Like the majority of hair salons, prices differ depending on the experience of the stylist. However, since Carol works hard to bring in quality talent, even the junior-level stylists do a great job working with you and giving you an amazing cut and style. They all have their own niche, so depending on what you want, Cilantro has it. I've been seeing Clint as my stylist since my first appointment a year ago. He's very attentive and won't rush through your appointment. He takes great pride in his work and it definitely shows. I'm always nervous when I see a stylist for the first time, but I didn't need to be. Throughout the year, my hair style has changed from long, layered, and colored to short and texturized. Clint has done an outstanding job with each style and I've always been satisfied. Among the many services Cilantro offers, they give complimentary bang trims and a water or coffee. If you do have a problem with something, they work with you to solve it. It's a very inviting atmosphere and many of the stylists' hours are flexible. I'm very glad I found Cilantro and will continue going to here as long as I live in the area. read more

Courtney did the best color I have ever had in my life! I have been blonde for 15+ years. I am naturally a brunette. However, my hair pulls red. Therefore, if not done correctly it is very brassy. Many stylists that have done my hair in the past either made it so blonde that it breaks off or too brassy. Courtney did neither of those. She is absolutely amazing! And she explained everything so thoroughly. She added bonding agent to the color(I had never heard of that) which prevents breakage. She also did a deep conditioning treatment. I can't believe this is my hair! I love it! If I could give her 10 stars I would. She is absolutely the best ever! read more

A blow-out for $17! An amazing deal! The pricing on Yelp needs to be changed to reflect the actual pricing in the salon. I met with Caiti who was exceptionally sweet and efficient. My wash and style was completed in 30 minutes and looked great. This isn't necessarily a high-end salon experience with a scalp massage or essential oils, but the finished style is excellent and definitely comparable to higher-end salons. I've tried the $25 blow-out bar at both Salon Rogues (avoid- I left looking like goldilocks two out of three times) , as well as blow-outs at Salon Nouveau & Nicholas J. The finished result is comparable to Nicholas J & Salon Nouveau but for a fraction of the price. read more

Very impressed with this hair salon! They are extremely nice and charismatic while working their magic on your hair. I was nervous to get my hair done after going to the same stylist for 13 years but these ladies knew exactly what I wanted my hair to look like then made me feel comfortable about what they were doing. Excellent blonde specialists coming from Nelly & Carol! read more

Visited Cilantro for the first time today and had a delightful experience. I'm new to the area and was way overdue for a haircut due to Covid but Carol managed to fit me in on short notice and did a lovely job with my hair. I'll definitely be going back! read more

I have been coming to Cilantro for years. (I am surprised I didn't review it already!) My stylist is Brandi. She is easy to talk to and always seems to know what I should be doing with my hair. I don't come in with a plan because she always knows what to do. I have had Rosy style my hair before a party. She did an AMAZING job! She gave me victory rolls!! The salon itself is a peaceful environment. The decor is modern and unique. Carol, the salon owner, is kind and attentive. You can tell she cares about her customers and her stylists. read more

I treated my mom to a cut and color for her birthday. She was scheduled to be with grace but she doesn't remember if that was who cut her hair. Anyway she was very dissatisfied with her hair cut. She wanted to go very short she was tired of long hair getting in the way. And she refused to cut it short she said it would age her and that she should have it close to short to get used to it. She told her she should get it cut like her own hair "see like mine" and she questioned why she wanted short hair. My mom wanted short hair she should have gave it to her. She came out very disappointed because it's not short so it gets in her face but it's too short that she can pull it back in a ponytail. She also said now she looks like Dora the explorer. Not worth going at all. read more

My daughter and I were visiting from out of town. She needed a trim & blow-out and I wanted an updo. Cilantro Hair Spa exceeded our expectations. My daughter's hair looked straight out of a Pantene conditioner commercial - full of body, bouncy and gorgeous- and it stayed that way through pre-wedding, wedding and after wedding festivities (12 hours!). My updo incorporated a braid into a french twist and looked as good the 12th hour as the first - which is amazing since I have very fine hair that never holds its shape. The stylist/owner gave both of us haircare tips that were unexpectedly helpful. I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair before! Thank you, Cilantro! read more

My first visit to Cilantro was today. Caitlin washed, cut, & styled my hair all for $22 (plus tip) and she did such a great job! She was very friendly, gave me some good hair-care advice, and even found a plastic bag to protect my hair from the rain when I left. read more

This was my first visit to Cilantro Hair Spa and it was amazing. The location is incorrect as it is on Hickory Rd now and its really nice inside. I have very long and thick hair so most stylists are almost afraid to work with it but Bethany had no problems. She worked methodically and even took extra time to make sure my hair looked great for my event later that evening. Even though her next customer was already there by the end of my appt she didn't rush at all at the end and was still very conscientious even towards the end. Most people end up charging me extra because my hair is long however she didn't upcharge at all. I would recommend this location and Bethany completely. I wish I had found this salon sooner! read more

Great price for a blow out ($15) and right next to Free Time Kids Daycare so very easy to drop kids off and get your hair did. I wasn't seated until 25 mins after my scheduled appt and they were out of wine (sad) but I think these were anomalies. All the employees seemed happy and were friendly. I'll be back to Mandy again for the service, price and location. read more

Absolutely loved my haircut, I was pleasantly surprised. Grace went above and beyond would 100% recommend.

My mother in law and I were in town for a wedding and needed to get our hair done. We called Cilantro and they scheduled us both in at the last minute. We both got our blow dry done with Nelly. She was fantastic! Our hair looks fabulous! Thank you so much ladies for the attention. See you next time we are in town! read more

Wonderful experience here, Brandi and Carol are very nice. She did great on my color and cut my hair feels amazing! Will be returning.
