Hard no on this place. I've had two average haircuts here - honestly unremarkable but I've gone back because I like that they use and carry organic products, and I'm not looking for anything complicated. I scheduled my appointment 3 weeks in advance over text and it was apparently never booked. Walked in at the scheduled time and could not be accommodated. I have young children and work full time, finding time to take care of myself is hard. It's flat out disrespectful to waste your clients' time this way. read more

I've been going to DNA for years, and I've never had anything but a wonderful experience. Comprehensively so. So here's why! Atmosphere: I love their aesthetic. I get in the "mood" to go to DNA, which is unusual. It's also great, because they have a commitment to doing everything right, so for example a dramatic change from rose gold to platinum (which they did flawlessly) can mean you'll be there for a while--so I love that it's such a nice place to spend time! People: These stylists are so committed to their craft. Not only have I found them to be fun, delightful people, but I follow many of them on social media--they are constantly furthering their educations and keeping up with new advancements and techniques and trends. Easy to have faith in a stylist who isn't committed to merely doing it "their way." THE HAIR: These stylists have had free reign over my hair, I always trust them. Bangs? I'm not afraid to do it, even with a cowlick that makes it impossible for lesser skilled people. Undercut? Loved it. Purple, rose gold, platinum blonde, vibrant red--they've nailed it every time. I trust them completely. read more

DNA Lab - Charleston - Hair Stylists Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Already the best salon in Charleston, DNa Lab is a must go. 1. It's organic. This is a huge deal. 2. The interior style is on point. 3. David and Ana couldn't be nicer. Plus, they are a husband-wife dynamic duo with a vision and the skill set to execute that vision. Their attention to detail is unparalleled. It's an absolute mistake to go anywhere else. read more

The service Alexis offered me (out-of-towner) was exceptional! She accommodated my schedule and squeezed me in with such grace. This place is super cute and definitely a must! I look forward to coming back very soon! read more

I think I finally found my hair stylist that I will commit to in Charleston. Anne and David are originally from the DC area and they wanted to open a second location at their second home in Charleston and I couldn't be more please. The space is nice an modern. They have two suites. One for the cutting and coloring and one for the washing. The washing area is a tranquil area where you can relax while your scalp is being massaged. Anne did a great job and she used technics that I haven't seen in the US so far. She layered my hair very well and I'm more than pleased with the result. A great, young addition to downtown where locals and visitors can get their hair on. A big plus, Anne has a great taste in music! read more

I'd rate above 5 stars. Not only has my hair stylist, Penny, constantly been clean and consistent​ but so has DNa lab itself. The atmosphere is very earthy​, inviting, and super comfortable. Everything that DNa Lab offers goes above and beyond to make it a relaxing and positive experience. On top of that, Penny has been consistently​ incredible when it comes to clean and modern men's cuts. I can't wait to go again! read more

Almost 6 months pregnant, my hair was driving me nuts! My roots where overgrown and my color was pretty much a hot mess. I was so excited to learn about DNa Lab! They are a nontoxic, organic and vegan salon, what more could a pregnant, animal loving gal ask for?! I went in with tired, faded hair and left with a dreamy new color making me feel incredible! I left the salon to pick up my 3 yo son at camp, as soon as he saw me he ran into my arms and said "mom! Your hair look buuuuutiful! I really love it!" Me too kiddo!! Me too!! Thank you David and Becca for your magic! read more

Beautiful salon with talented artists! I love leaving here and never smelling like I just left a salon.

I very much appreciate Penny's attention and care in recommending a corrective plan for my color. She listened to my history and asked a lot of questions to ensure the best result. I am more than thrilled with the results and appreciate the level of service she offered! I highly recommend Penny!! read more

Going to this salon was one of the best experiences I have had in Charleston. The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and inviting. It was more than just a just getting my hair done; it was the full experience. Not only did I get to meet some of the best stylist and assistants stylists but there products are all ORGANIC, which pleases my eco loving heart. After my day at DNa Lab my hair feels better than ever before and I can't wait to go back to see everyone again! read more

MOTHER OF GOD... Penny has given me an ineffably superb haircut. I'm a guy with extremely thick (read: unmanageable) and fairly curly hair. I went in and described what I thought I wanted in terms of my haircut. Penny politely interjected and told me that I was going about it all wrong. She gave me her recommendations, and I, a guy who has had long hair for less than two years and has no real idea what he is talking about with regards to hair shape and cutting techniques (beyond knowing I need layering because of my hair's thickness), gladly went along with her recommendations. The result is absolutely spectacular. She somehow cut barely anything off the length but gave me a brand new look. Watching her work was absolutely fascinating because she is clearly incredibly skilled and precise but I had no idea how she was making her decisions as to how much to cut and where. Without sounding egotistical, this haircut has bumped me up to a new level I didn't know existed, or was possible. My girlfriend, a more experienced long-hair-haver, is also in complete awe of how Penny transformed my hair. And let me be abundantly clear... my hair was already pretty good beforehand. I actually got a random compliment on my hair from some dude on the street earlier in the day before I got my haircut with Penny. So it's not like I'm some schmuck who uses 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash. If you have curly hair, and especially if you are a guy ignorant as to the intricacies of hair styling (read: almost all guys), you are a FOOL to go to anyone other than Penny at DNa Lab. (As an aside, they have a nifty horizontal hair washing/conditioning station that doesn't threaten to snap your neck like the seated ones do at other salons and non-barber haircut places.) read more

Love it here! The saved my fried hair and the shampoo station is like a day at the spa!

Olivia did an incredible job on my hair! I am naturally dark blonde and get light highlights. She did exactly what I asked for and beyond. Thank you Olivia! I will be back. Really cool, modern, sustainable and organic feels in there, too. :) read more

Was in town visiting friends and had to check out the new space. I'm at client at their other location and I do not trust anyone else with my hair. It's very hard to get an appointment so i may need to start flying to Charleston to get my hair done lol. The Design is beautiful and the staff is always amazing and know how to take care of me. Charleston is very lucky to have dna ! read more

NEVER EVER GO HERE!!! My son went in for a trim, and Penny decided she wanted to it all off!! What took him a year to grow she cut off in a matter of 15 mins, once she started cutting...it was to the point of no return! DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON if you want your wishes to be honored. She said she did not feel good, and was sorry, if you do not feel good and CANNOT perform on your job, go home! read more

Sterling is an absolute hair goddess!! She took the time to really listen to my hair concerns and what my goals where. She did an absolutely amazing job in my hair and I haven't loved my hair this much in a long time. I would 10/10 recommend this salon (AND STERLING) to anybody The salon is beautifully well thought out and I can't wait until they move to an even bigger location. Definitely the best salon I've ever been to! read more

I booked my appointment a month in advance. When I showed up they never wrote me down in the books. My stylist worked me in after I waited 45 minutes. The balayage was rush and she did not even show me the back of my hair before pushing me out the door because her other clients had arrived. I love the organic products, but will not return. The business is ran very POORLY. read more
