I cannot recommend this salon. In fact, pass by with a crucifix on your way to lunch at Village Deli. Arlee behaved like absolute trash, raising her voice and making a scene in the front of the salon. I was in shock. To the point it took me a year to post this review - I just wanted to put this place in our rear view. Oreanne was unnecessarily drawn into the situation by some of the rudest, poorest management I've ever witnessed...but went out of her way to be dismissive, unkind, and unprofessional. I'll never forgive whatever woman gave her the thumbs up on my FB group which is what initially led me to this establishment. Neither stylist went by the photo I'd given, and then managed to blame me in the end saying it was not possible with our daughter's hair color. Aside from the fact that we've since proven it was, elsewhere - how about say that first instead of nodding and starting in. (The assistant manager at the time, and only reasonable stylist there - I think she may have left now - said she'd have offered an alternative photo if she didn't feel it was achievable.) I let it go the first time and didn't complain, but the second time, after we'd dropped over $600 total for a look we never got, I felt I had to say something, and my gawd...the response. This salon acted like a bag of hissing cats that charges top dollar for poor execution and back woods diva behavior. Stay. Away. No one needs this in their life. read more

I always get the same colorist because I guess she's the most junior and doesn't get booked up much. Can be a bit condescending and tardy. Not sure what the deal is. I help her pay her bills? She does a good job though. The management here asks her to bring her own blow dryer with her. That's just unreal. What kind of employer doesn't provide any tools to their employee? Even contractors in the corporate world get a notebook computer from the corporation who contracts with them (to use for as long as they're a 1099 there). Overall, I'm satisfied but I get the faint feeling of dissatisfaction whenever I'm here. Not sure what it is that makes me a bit uncomfortable to be here. I guess I don't feel warmly welcomed. read more

I had an appointment with Alexis. First and very last time I go to this salon or better yet this stylist. I was shocked by the conversation we had in regards to her personal life. Definitely a bad first impression to say the least. On top of that my haircut was completely uneven and my color was orange, not what I asked for! Not brassy but orange! I wouldn't suggest this salon or this stylist to anyone. Very unprofessional and should find a new career. Master stylist is a joke I would give negative stars if there was an option read more

I went for a first visit and saw Gail for a root touchup and toner. I'm blonde and moved to a new house on a well and my hair was turning brassy on my bottom layers so my main goal was to get that remedied. It was not. Pros: I was able to get in that day. That's about where it ends. Cons: The formula was really irritating to my scalp and started burning immediately. She wasn't particularly careful with where she put it and it was on my forehead and skin around my hairline. I've been getting my hair done for years from several different hairstylists and it's never burned before. I asked if this was normal and if it was okay. She said that's why she'd asked my old colorist's formula (I didn't know getting it was a thing) and to let her know if it got unbearable. After it was done she put me under the dryer for about 20 minutes. It continued to burn but never felt like I'd been set on fire so I just dealt with it. She came to check on me and I reiterated it was still burning but not getting worse. It's been over a week and my scalp is incredibly sensitive, itchy and sore. It's awful. After the toner I looked at my hair still wet and commented it still looked pretty brassy. She'd said the lights in here weren't great and I asked if there was a different toner that could be used if we dried it and it was still off. She said she was off the clock after this and I could make another appt if I wanted to fix it. She dried it, it still didn't look quite right but she had me look at it in the natural light and it looked better that it did in the chair. I didn't have an option to get it fixed that day as she was ready to leave. I figured it would be ok and after a couple more shampoos would be closer to what I wanted. I was absolutely not going to make another appointment and pay again for someone who isn't committed to doing it right. My bottom layers are still very brassy/orange and the roots she touched up are a terrible shade of orange & clearly werent left in long enough to fully get through the orange/brass stage. The bottom layers of my hair were not toned correctly/effectively and the whole process was a mess. I will not be back. I know this color can be easily toned out because I went to my usual colorist (who is 3 hours away) last time for the same issue and she completely fixed it with whatever toner she used. Does this look like a root match?! Or even blonde?! read more

Haircolorxperts - Hair Stylists Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The management is irresponsible, unconcerned, insolent and rude. The very young girls booking appointments continue to make mistakes in my appointments, and are lazy as well and will not attempt to resolve their mistakes. I will not be returning as there are other more professional hair colorists in Raleigh that ARE trained adequately. I deal with enough immature students teaching chemistry at my university! read more

I have been to this salon many times and I considered myself a regular. I had two stylists for highlights. I had my first highlights done here and it was great. The problem was when I went back for touch up. Each time I had more brassy hair and now I have damaged hair. They are not good at maintaining your look and taking care of your hair and maintaining your color. I stopped going to this salon. read more

Alexis is a great hair stylist! She's the only reason why I would drive 3 hours to Raleigh to do my hair because she's the only one I trust. She's super nice and attentive. read more

Ermmm.....erm. So, after horribly dyeing my hair (myself) almost black while trying to go chocolate brown( I'm naturally blonde), I went here to try and get it fixed in any way possible. I was paired up with Gail (Gayle?). She's supposedly an expert level hairstylist. I had a consultation with Gail, and my appointment was set for the next day at 11. I get there at 11 and am offered wine, so I take some, because cool. Once I go back for my appointment, however, I am completely overcome by this woman's attitude. I understand that she's from up north, but what the hell? She literally said to me, "Once women have a Gail haircut, they never go to anyone else." Yeah, get over yourself, lady. Once she was done "color correcting" my hair, she trimmed the dead ends off. Once it was dry, it was just as dark as before. I understand that I signed a waiver, but geeeez. NOTHING was different, even though she was trying to convince me that it was! In the end, I ended up paying $230 for absolutely nothing except hair that was more damaged than before. ALSO, this lady is a chain-smoker! GEEEEZ. Every time I had to sit in the chair for more than 10 minutes, this woman would go outside and smoke like a train. Basically, if you go here for a color correction, don't go with Gail. She is supposedly a top-level stylist with the salon, but obviously, titles sometimes go further than execution. Womp womp. About a year after this experience, after I got married, I got my hair dyed at a salon, and it turned out a little darker than I wanted it. Because of this, and after extensive research, I bought Color Oops hair color remover from Sally beauty supply...and it worked WAY better than my salon visit to Haircolor Xperts did. Just buy toner for after the color is stripped and you will seriously have basically the color you want......for about $200 cheaper. No exaggeration. read more

I took a leap of faith after a botched haircut and color from another salon. I called in yesterday spoke with Jess and asked could I meet with a hairstylist for a consultation she accommodated me immediately - I met with Erin and explained to her what I was looking for, she asked a lot of questions as far as what I was looking for in a correction, I showed her some pictures of the color and cut I was looking for after about 20 minutes I felt comfortable enough that she could help me so I asked her how soon could I get an appointment... She was able to fit me in the very next day as her last appt. I was really nervous - but she quickly calmed my nerves with taking baby steps and explaining everything to me step by step, I did not feel rushed or like I was a burden. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - I would highly recommend to my family, friends, and you :) My hair went from frizzed up blonde highlights to beautiful shiny dark auburn in my first appointment - I have found my new hairstylist - THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIN YOU ARE MY HAIR ANGEL ;) read more

See all

If you're reading this, you're likely salon shopping so let's get down to brass tacks: Color, crown highlights, some lowlights and a haircut set me back almost three hours and just over $200. Quite pricey and a rather long time? You betcha. *******UPDATE****** My expert color faded in less than two weeks. I opted to go home for a decent color and cut rather than return here. In the very unlikely event I ever did return, it would be for a blowout and nothing else. read more

I just moved here from NY and this is officially my first Raleigh review - ohhhh dadddddy!!! Basically Erin is fantastic and I think we should be friends in real life. She was efficient but not rushed, friendly and talkative without being annoying (you know how "those" people can be), and just a cool person to chill with for a couple hours while she gives you some pretty hair. I told her I was new to the area and she asked me about my style and what I like to do, and then gave me tons of amazing bar, restaurant, shopping, and other Raleigh-fun-things suggestions that were all spot on for what I'm looking for down here. Homegirl has good taste! Prices are totally reasonable, salon is clean and nice with a little bit of an edge, and it's at a convenient location. Hair turned out perfect - I gave her very little direction and she took it and went with it, which is typically how I roll, and I was super happy with the results. I definitely recommend this place in general and Erin specifically! read more

Originally I am from New York City and am generally very picky about my hair, after having had so many amazing and terrible hair cuts I am always nervous when going somewhere new. I am in Raleigh now for school and was ready to get a new hair style and start fresh with my hair as I am starting fresh with where I am living. I originally had an appointment at another salon, and had not even heard of this one. Two hours before my appointment at the other place I got a call from them saying that my stylist decided not to come into work that day and therefore couldn't do my hair. They apologized terribly, but as a busy college student with limited time where I am able to do nice things for myself like get my hair cut, I was flustered to say the least. I started looking up salons and desperately calling until I found this one and like I hoped they were able to take my very last minute for a haircut. I had an appointment with Annita, and it was one of the best haircuts I have ever had. She sat at listened to my ideas and listened to my worries about my hair and understood exactly what I wanted. She made sure to keep asking me if I liked what she was doing as my haircut went on, to make sure that she wasn't cutting it too close for me. We ended up talking practically every second of my appointment and though we were different in age and came from very different places, we had a lot in common from our past and our drive and what we believed and it only made my appointment better. I'm a college student on a budget and she understood of course and I thought the price was very reasonable for the haircut that I got. I originally had very long hair with color in it and ended up getting almost all of it cut off and was definitely very hesitant in it. But now I absolutely love it and can't stop touching it and looking in the mirror. I will definitely go back to Annita next time I need anything done to my hair and refer everyone that I know to her or at least the salon. It's also just right over in Cameron Village which is extremely convenient to get to, and then totally has the bonus of being able to shop after you get this hair done. Can't stop raving about this place, should have more reviews and should come up sooner when searching for hair places on here. read more

Haircolorxperts - My before and after of my hair cut with Annita! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I've had three great experiences at this salon and intend to continue seeing Travis. He's always been thoughtful to my requests and creative when I'm open to new things. My hair is shorter right now than I've ever had it (other than when I was kid) and I never thought I'd love it so much. It's not a short cut, it just has lots of body and natural looking layers. I'm so glad I took a friends recommendation and visited this salon! read more

I love coming here to get my hair done. Kassidy it's truly the best at what she does. My hair is very dark and she has helped me maintain my blonde while keeping it very healthy. She also does wonderful unicorn / mermaid colors that always fade out beautifully until my next appointment. Highly recommend for ANY color ! read more

Courtney was amazing! They got me in quickly on a Saturday and I had never been here before, but I truly enjoyed the experience. Courtney was warm and we had great conversation and I loved my haircut! read more

If you enjoy bad customer service and complete distrust from a salon ask for Rose. If I had to rate this company I would have rated it as no stars. Rose the manager, is not accommodating or respectful, she has very poor social skills and her customer service is equivalent to that of a rest stop bathroom. I have never had an experience like I had with this person, she was not pleasant, cordial, argumentative, and unprofessional. I would like to note that the front desk receptionist Danielle, is very sweet and tried to mediate the situation, whereas Rose chose to hang up on me (unheard of from a salon to my recollection). If I were the owner of this salon I would seriously consider promoting Danielle to management as she is a polite, courteous person versus her boss who presents herself to be quite distasteful. read more

It was waaaaayy too long since I've had a haircut (trim, rather) and I am pretty cheap so I got on the internet to see if I could find a nice balance between price and quality. After a few sites that were out of my price range or were places that men normally get haircuts (you know what I mean!) I came across Haircolorxperts. There are 3 levels of experienced hairstylists and the prices range from $35-$55. My hair style is not complicated and I wasn't looking for a completely new style, so I booked a $35 hair stylist. When I arrived, I was early and my hairstylist was not there yet; apparently she was stuck in traffic. The receptionist offered me a glass of water while I waited. I gotta say, I love the way salons smell. Anywho, after about 10-15 minutes my stylist shows up. I'm not mad at all. I really liked her because she was a talker. I like it when they talk to me because I feel weird when they don't. I feel like they're ignoring me. All in all, I was very satisfied with the trim and I will def come back in 3 or 4 months. UPDATE: So I was at my job and a lady with wavy/curly hair similar to mine asks where I get my hair cut. Ladies with hair like ours have an unspoken bond, I think. And with that unspoken bond is an equally hard time finding a hairstylist that can cut our hair properly without making us look like we have a mop on our heads. Erin is this person. You need to know her! read more

The best hair cut I have ever gotten. I went in yesterday for my first hair cut there and got 20% off for being a new client. I showed a picture of what I wanted and the stylist cut my hair exactly how I asked. She made sure that it was exactly how I wanted and she spent plenty of time cutting and styling it, and was honest about what she thought would look good. In the past I have gotten my hair cut wherever I could get an appointment, but there is no way I will be going anywhere other than here now!! read more

I went in for a simple cut. While my hair looks fine, my stylist didn't do at all what I asked her to. She cut so much off that I didn't ask her to fix it because I didn't have enough hair left for her to do what I had asked for. Again, my hair looks fine, the salon is nice, but be incredibly specific with what you want if you go here. I will not be going back. read more

Alexis did a Fantastic job. Everyone was nice and it was a fun atmosphere. Will definitely return.

I am originally from Pennsylvania and had a very hard time finding a regular hair stylist once I moved to Raleigh. But my search is now over!! I've been going to Oreanne for a year now, so it's officially long term relationship status :) I go every few months for a cut and partial highlights and she always gives me exactly what I want, be it a certain cut, or a color change. I have had issues with highlights that were too chunky, our too blonde before, but not with Oreanne! It looks so natural and I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair. She is also fun and easy to chat with. I highly recommend her! read more

Kathy did exactly what I wanted to my hair, and I am not easy to please! She took her time and the results are fantastic. Good price, too, especially for Cameron Village! read more

Got an AMAZING blowout from Cathy last night. Today I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror! And the prices can't be beat. I am *really* glad I found this place. read more

Dana Anderson is wonderful and I would highly recommend her! She is young and hip and genuinely cared about what I wanted my hair to look like. She did a great job on my long, blonde hair, it's super light, just the way I like it. I'm going back to see her for sure! read more

I recently moved here from Florida and had been putting off finding a stylist. I can be very picky and was scared to try someone new after being with the same stylist for the past 20 years. I found Haircolorxperts on an app on my phone. They had great reviews so I decided to give them a try. I just couldn't put off cutting my unruly hair one more day. They got me scheduled with Allison very quickly! I went to my appointment today terrified and reluctant. Allison soon put me at ease with her friendly personality and easy attitude. My fears didn't seem to intimidate her at all. I have red hair and I am very particular about the color. The first time she did it, it was too light. She cut my hair and then fixed my color. The second time was a perfect match to what I wanted. And did I mention that I got the best haircut of my life? The service here is excellent and the amenities are comfortable! Well worth the trip! I highly recommend and I will be back! read more

I am not one to write reviews. In fact, I have never written one before. I just created a yelp account for this specific review. I was on yelp looking for an honest review and I couldn't find one. So I feel that I have a responsibility to share my experience. I recently got a haircut by Travis a hairdresser at this salon and was not pleased with my experience. I asked him a lot of questions because I was looking for guidance and he seemed very disinterested and wasn't very friendly. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED for two inches off and he cut WAY more (4-5 inches) my hair was below my chest and now its around my collar bone. I am very disappointed and upset. I stated that when he was to cut my hair to be conservative. He verbally agreed and then ignored my requests and didn't check in with me through the process. Overall, an unappealing experience and if you are thinking of getting your haircut by him I simply wouldn't. Otherwise, the salon seemed fine I cannot speak about the other hairdressers. If you do go to this salon and get your hair cut by Travis be VERY specific with what you want and maybe even tell him to cut less than what you have imagine. read more

Take a break from holiday shopping and let Ms. Dana Anderson get her hands on your locks!!! She took me from frazzled and drab to beautiful and smooth in no time at all. Super convenient location, and you can't beat the service! read more

I recently transferred to Cary and took pains to select a new hair stylist/colorist. I chose HairColorexperts at the Arboretum in Cary because it was convenient. It seemed exceptionally quiet and not busy and they said they were in the process of converting to new management. They said nothing about CLOSING the location in Cary, in fact they said it would remain open! That was 5 weeks ago. I just received an email saying that they were closed. I am very disappointed that they lied about the fact that they were staying open. I never would have gone there had I known that they were closing in 5 weeks!!!! That is just bad business to take on a new client when they knew it was closing. Even though the colorist did a good job, I would not transfer to the salon in Raleigh due to this shady practice. PS- This is the first review I've ever written. I was just so annoyed by this practice that I had to write a review read more

Wow! I was in town from NYC and decided to get my hair done while in Raleigh (NYC cuts and color are super expensive). I had heard great things about Dana and I'm glad I found her. She did me up right! Cut is on point with exactly what I asked for, and highlights and color even better than I could have imagined. Already got compliments on my new look too! Go see Dana! read more

Found this place after going to 2 other stylists in my 7 mos in Raleigh and not being satisfied with my cut. Soooo glad I came here and had an appointment with Gail! She cut and styled my hair even better than I expected, tweaking the pictures I brought in to better flatter my face and hair texture. I have a hard time finding stylists that know how to texture short hair and Gail did it beautifully! Also very easy going and pleasant to speak with and let me know all she was doing along the way. Thanks Gail! read more

Allison did a wonderful job cutting my hair! I looks good if I blow it dry or let it air dry. It is absolutely perfect and stylish. I even went to bed with wet hair and it looked good when I woke up! read more

I have been Gayle's customer for 8 years - she is a perfectionist - very talented - and she has become a good friend of our family as well. For cut and color both - I have been delighted and would strongly recommend her. Yes she is up from up north, but that's OK - I'm a native southerner and we get along just fine!! read more
