I am so grateful…read morethat I found them because Maggie, in their dedicated Scalp Salon called DRFT, was able to determine where my hair was thinning, we talked about possible reasons why, and they she provided me with a very successful solution that has my hair back and full again at the age of 66! Calecim and Nutrafol combined together for 3 solid months has truly started hair regrowth. Now I am on a maintenance program only. Thankfully I also encountered Nadia as my massage therapist. I had enjoyed the healing touch of a Reiki trained massage therapist back in Tampa where we moved from. I thought I would never be fortunate enough to find another healing touch such as his,, but Nadia is amazing at her massage pressure & her ability to provide healing energy. I love her Salon Suite for massage therapy time - great music, perfect lighting, and healing energy permeates the entire space. Nadia is part of my monthly self-care routine. Alli Carter has become my new hairstylist in Raleigh, and she is fantastic at her craft. She listens to what I am hoping to accomplish with my super fine hair, and she styles according to me wanting to grow it out just a bit during the winter. Her tucked away Salon Suite has a great vibe, and it's always a refreshing experience to be in her chair. Alli has done my color & highlights once, and they are subtle yet fabulous!

Sad to say, many years after my original review, after my hairdresser Makenna left Mark Christopher…read more(and I followed her, until she moved away) I decided to give the salon another try earlier this year. Unfortunately, my previous (very positive) experienced did not hold up. The salon ambience has been stripped... it felt very middle of the road decor-wise, loads of product shelves and no posh salon vibe remaining. I took a chance on a stylist who essentially ruined my hair with color. I've never had such a traumatic color job... the application of the foils and the color was insane - foils scrunched every which way, no rhyme or reason... she was so rough on my head when she removed the foils, that it actually hurt. But it was the result of the color that actually had me in tears. I had to go to another salon to have it fixed, and when i tried to get a refund for it from Mark Christopher they gave me a bit of a runaround for about two months before I finally got refunded. I don't love giving poor public reviews but sadly this place seems to have had a fall from grace from its original top salon status.

Aside from the conversations he had the whole 4 hour appointment, that were continually referring to his privates without saying the actual word, I was uncomfortable the whole time. But aside from his comments after putting all the foil on he put me under the heater and then walked away and took his 3rd or 4th phone call since I'd gotten there. I knew personal stuff was happening with his family so I wouldn't have cared except for the fact my head started burning to the point my body was shaking. I tried to wave him down but he didn't see me nor was he paying attention. I tried to get another stylists attention but sadly she was busy with another client and didn't see me (which I don't blame her for obviously I'm his client his responsibility). I scooted out of the heater trying to get the foil off my burning scalp when he finally noticed and came over. Only to touch the foil and jump back saying "it got me!". Mind you he didn't get it off my head still so my scalp is still being burned while he's airing off his hand. After admitting it was too hot he pulled off my foils and even admitted I should have been under the heater an additional 5 minutes. I asked him and another stylist if my head had been burned or hair fried because the pain was not going away even after my hair was washed. Both told me no no your head is fine, it's not even red then proceeded to continue yanking on my hair or scrubbing it intensely during my wash. This was the most painful salon experience I've ever had. Needless to say when I got home I had my husband check my head as it still was throbbing only to find my scalp had indeed been badly burned and I had oils leaking out for days trying to heal it with a massive scab that lasted well over a month. Proceed here with caution.
