I have been going to RPS for over 3 years and have seen quite a few stylists over that time…read more They're all great and everyone's super friendly. I was so stoked when Skyler came back since she's the stylist I like to go to the most. RPS isn't cheap but I treat myself to it and every cut I get is well worth it. I always get compliments from people after I go. I also like reading the vintage comics in their waiting area. Just a nice place all around !!

UPDATED 8/13/26: the salon called me after this review and refunded me the overcharged hour plus…read more20% of the hour since I tipped on the four hour amount. I appreciate them making it right. Be sure to double check the amount before check out. ### I unfortunately left disappointed after a decent first experience in the salon. They quoted me initially during a consultation for 3 hours from 1-4pm. When I arrived for my appointment, my stylist took me 20min after my appointment time started as she was busy with another customer. We ended the appointment at 4:22 and I assumed it would still be 3 hours given the delayed start. The receptionist pulled the price up to have the stylist confirm. The stylist shrugged and said "we started a bit late but that's fine." Then I saw the price and they added a full hour to the total price. After tip, it was over $460. Given it was my first time I felt overwhelmed and didn't say anything and cause a scene. I regret not speaking up in the moment. However I don't recommend people go here as they may do the same to you. I won't be returning.

Not only was I thrilled with the results but I also genuinely enjoyed my time in her chair. She was easy to talk to, had a great vibe, and shared some helpful tips along the way.

She made sure she understood my vision before starting the cut, but also suggested fantastic edits that made my hair look fuller than I thought it could! Exactly the kind of stylist I'd want to have long term - great communication and knows what she's doing so that when I want something a little different, I can trust what she has in mind. Sadly, I moved away :( but would visit again in a heartbeat if I was ever in the area!

Do yourself a favor and get your next haircut at Arrow Studio. It's in a prime location in downtown…read moreDurham, and has a chic, open feel that reminds me of New York City (which is where the owners are from). The waiting area has a gigantic chandelier, and the front desk is made from a wooden art piece that also serves as a product shelf and changing rooms-- you have to see it to believe it. But you can't mention Arrow Studio without talking about how fantastic Tiffany is. She used to cut my hair at her last employer before opening Arrow Studio, and I happily followed her, even though my drive is a bit longer now. It's worth it. Arrow Studio has custom-designed units at each haircut station that houses all the stylists' equipment, but also has a pull-out shelf for any personal items you bring (sunglasses, cell phone, etc.). There's also a coat rack near the front, which seems mundane, but I can't remember the last time I went to get a haircut and actually had someone take my coat. It's the little details that matter. The biggest downside is that parking in downtown Durham can be a doozy. But don't worry! There are two parking decks right beside Arrow, and you can get your ticket validated after your haircut. Check out Arrow Studio next time you need a haircut, coloring or styling. It's a much-welcomed addition to the blossoming downtown Durham homegrown business scene.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about this place! I am from NYC, and was visiting my…read moreparents for the weekend, and had originally booked somewhere else in Durham to do a dry cut and balayage and was called 45 mins before my appointment to be told it was cancelled. After doing some research, I called Arrow when it first opened at 9am to see if they could squeeze me in that day and lo and behold, they had space! My appointment was with Alex who is a Level 1 but honestly, if I didn't know that going into the appointment, I would have never known. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, was super understanding and made me feel so comfortable in her chair. When it came to my cut, I had asked to dry cut it (I have naturally curly hair and I prefer stylists to cut it when it's straightened as that's how I normally have it styled), and it turned out perfectly. She kept my length, cut off the dry ends and it looks exactly as I want it to. The color - literally WOW. I have dark hair and I wanted something subtle and natural but still fun, and she did just that. I have never left any salon so happy and thrilled with how my hair looks. Alex, you are a gem and so fun to spend 3 hours with! My hair turned out so well, I will literally fly in from New York just to have her do it again. And my mom was so impressed that she's found her new spot (and a new stylist!) Thank goodness my other appointment got cancelled, I would have never found this amazing place!
