I am leaving another review - different site--of owner Nicole- whose poor manners and poor service…read moreare the topic. As another (past client) stated in her review- poor haircut- not layered well. Paid extra for an 'In depth' consultation- which I did not receive. I have never had someone so rough in simply brushing my hair and later blow drying, along with being so sullen in interactions. When the owner of a salon treats you, as a new client ( or any time period client) in such a derogatory manner- while I remained pleasant and polite- which was not easy - it leaves such a negative impression- honestly one that I have never had from any hair salon I have been to. I moved recently from ATL (40 yr resident ) and never had to pay a deposit- and certainly never had such rude treatment. She didn't tell me what products she used or recommended, she didn't even give me a mirror to look at the back and sides of my new cut. I was then charged extra at checkout for long hair- when that was not presented up front and my hair is barely to the shoulders --NOT long, or thick or difficult. No receipt was provided either. I rightfully disputed this service with my credit card - after the service charge processed- - to then be awakened this morning at 7:24am by 7 phone calls in rapid succession & VM from Nicole- this is beyond comprehension. If you were really interested in understanding my salon experience - you would have called during your ( and my) normal business hours and at 'one' - unanswered phone call- left a professional courteous VM-

I was visiting Charlotte from San Diego with a little time to kill before meeting a friend, and…read moredecided to try and squeeze in a quick haircut. After striking out at a couple of places, I stumbled upon Lucid Hair Studio in Ballentyne. Walking in, I admit I had a moment of "this looks too fancy for a quick men's cut," and worried about the price. The cut was definitely on the pricier side compared to my usual spots, but the owner herself, Oxana Mak Folls, was available to take me as a walk-in. Then something unexpected happened - I got the best damn haircut of my life. Oxana is a true artist. She explained her process every step of the way, including why she uses only shears instead of clippers. Apparently clippers just follow the shape of your skull, and since most people don't have perfectly smooth, symmetrical heads, you end up with a haircut that varies with your head shape rather than looking even. A skilled stylist with shears can actually compensate for head shape and create a more natural, even look. Plus, clippers create jagged edges that make your hair look rougher and grow out harsher - though I'm still wrapping my head around all the technical details. Either way, it worked. We had the most engaging conversation too - the time flew by! And the scalp massage? Lived up to every bit of hype. The products she used smelled incredible, and the face massage was a fantastic touch. I'm usually not one to buy products at a salon, but the spray wax she used was so good I had to take some home (cost more than I usually spend on hair products, but whatever). Lucid Hair Studio, and Oxana specifically, is now officially my go-to spot whenever I'm on the East Coast. My new dilemma? Finding someone local in San Diego who can match her skills - good luck to me on that quest. I'm writing this three weeks after my haircut, and here's the thing: it still looks fantastic. Oxana told me it would last 5-6 weeks versus my normal 3-4 weeks, and she wasn't kidding. It actually looks better each week as it grows out. When you do the math, that's about 36% more value per cut - suddenly that higher price tag makes a lot more sense. If you're in the Charlotte area and looking for an incredible hair experience, seriously, just go. Trust me on this one - you won't regret it!

I was looking for a new hair stylist as I had become complacent with mine but was very tired of not…read moregetting what I was asking for. I feel like it is always hard to look for a new stylist because it can be hard to know where to start. Sometimes referrals from friends are great, but because the Charlotte area is large, the last thing I want is a commute for getting my hair done, that process always takes enough time! I went back to yelp again, and found Southern Roots. While they only had a few reviews, they were all great. I called in and Tiffany actually answered, but had to book me with Donna because of the day I was requesting. She was very kind in trying to set this up for me. When I went to Donna the first time, I asked for my usual cut, a little off the bottom and plenty off the layers, as I love to see my layers. I also asked for my hair color to pop. Unfortunately this is where things went wrong. Everyone can interpret their definitions differently, and my thought of pop was different than Donna's. That is my fault for not going further into likes/dislikes. My hair is naturally brown and she added in blonde highlights that were way too bright and blonde for me. I hated how I looked and hated the contrast. While I did receive compliments on my new look, I did not like the shade of blonde in my hair. However, I loved the cut. I finally received a cut that I had been asking for! As I stated before, I love to see my layers, so I always ask for much shorter layers, and for some reason, other hair stylists only seem to go about an inch above my longer length even though I always ask for much more. Since I got the cut and realized my communication was poor on my likes/dislikes and what I wanted out of color, I decided to go back. At the second appointment, I told Donna I hated the color from the first visit. She was very kind in taking my hatred and even suggested I should have come back, but I really just wanted to try to get used to it, maybe I would eventually like it. I found pictures off the internet of colors that I liked and had them saved for this second visit. I showed Donna a couple, and she picked right up on the colors! She added in some red to my brown while darkening up the blonde from the last visit. My color was spot on! And to me, adding in the red and darker blonde, was my pop. It looked great, along with the cut! I just went back this weekend for a third visit. I confirmed my love for the looks from the second visit and we updated the red and brown this time. After we finished with the cut/color, I pointed out what I loved so that she could make notes on what to do and how to update the different colors for next time. My hair is naturally curly, but I probably style my hair curly half the week and half the week I style it straight. I love that Donna is willing to take the time to style it straight so that I can see the layers and see the cut, that way I can ask for a little bit more if needed. I am happy to say and excited to say, I have found my new stylist! I think it is great someone is willing to listen to my critiques and wants me to be happy. While I can't say anything about Tiffany here, I can say Donna is great and I would recommend her easily!

I left cash and a tip on a hair color job that nearly three long weeks later is so much darker than I am comfortable with that I still can't believe what I see in the mirror. She missed the mark on me. I'm not playful with my hair color... I wasn't trying to play with it. I loved it - even in its faded, sad post crisis condition it was "my" color. What I have now is a deep dark strange head that even my young children still can't figure out. My eye brow pencil is too light for my new Tiffany given color. Be warned and fore-armed about paying cash for such services. Tiffany apologetically and frankly unapologetic business manner won't do anything for me to adjust or fix this color "because of my hair history." So now my budget is spent and there isn't anything that can be done... I still look like "crisis hell". ....I'm just sad, mad, and feel entirely unlike myself - - mismatched to this dark mop -- just ugly.

I called on a Friday and was able to get an appointment for the next morning a few hours after I was scheduled to fly in. Very spacious, open, airy space conveniently located in Charlotte's South End district. It was fairly quiet for a Saturday at 11:30a. Just two stylists in the shop. My stylist said they're still only half-staffing since Covid and with so many clients working from home, Saturday's are not the super busy days they used to be! So I scheduled a blow-out (wash/blow dry/style) so my hair would look well done for the wedding. Kerry, my stylist, was great. She was honest, straightforward, and tried every which way from Sunday to get my abysmally straight fine hair to do something, anything, other than lay flat on my scalp. We landed on an up-do when the "wear it down" options didn't go as planned. My hair sucks, so I did appreciate the valiant effort and I was pleased with the end result. Thank you, Kerry!
