I'm on a tight budget and this was my third attempt to find an affordable women's haircut in…read moreDurham. Most are way too expensive. The Hair Place was $25+, the stylist did straight chop to my hair and told me that's how trims are supposed to be done. (So, everyone else is doing it wrong?) Plus, it was an awkward conversation experience. I thought that was the best quality I could hope for in this price range, but then... I went to see Carol. She was so friendly to chat with, and did a quick and awesome job. Add bonus was getting to play with her 3 pound Yorkie, Bella :) Found my new place for haircuts. It was $16 and tipped $10 because that still beats anywhere else I've been to. Definitely worth it for the quality and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

So, these folks have been doing my wife's hair for a few years and she's been totally happy, but…read moreshe doesn't Yelp and I am not going to speak for her :) And I have no hair, so my perspective is heavily influenced by how things have gone at Altered Image for my daughters, and last night, I was convinced these folks are caring, empathetic and take their craft seriously. My youngest got a color streak in the front. No idea why I spend the money on this, other than it excites her as much as Christmas morning. I am grateful I can do these types of things. My older daughter, however, had grown her hair to her butt...beautiful, wavy, full, high-maintenance hair that had become her signature. I swear other kids followed her around just to see the hair flow in the air as she walked and smell the flowery products that helped keep such tresses in check. But too much work and she decided to get it cut--a lot. Jeff counseled her during an impromptu stop on a Saturday afternoon, describing how he'd do the work and that he understood how much her hair was a part of her, her personality and that this was a scary endeavor...he eased my mind during that consult. Three days later, she was in the chair. After the shock of the first cuts--culminating is a good-sized donation for Pantene's Beautiful Lengths program--the scariness faded and a wonderful, light, bouncy cut emerged. The hair was shaped well, taken to a perfect length (accounting for hundreds of curls), and clear instruction on how to care for the new style (no heavy product push) was given through the process. I left with a very happy, very energized 13-year old who appeared to have entered a new phase of her life. Altered Image is owned and operated by great people, doing great work, with passion, empathy, a true sense of caring, and a healthy dose of fun. I may have no hair, but I'll be happy to take my girls here any time. This is the Durham I love.

I had been seeing Panduh for vivid/fantasy hair color and was willing to overlook early red flags…read more-- until my third visit went so poorly, I was left with severely banded color, no resolution, and ultimately dropped as a client after voicing my concerns. A quick rewind: My first appointment resulted in chunky, uneven highlights around my face instead of a well-blended money piece. The second time, it blended better -- but the color wasn't applied close enough to my scalp, leaving a visible blond halo. I chalked it up to a learning curve and gave her a third shot. Her salon setup doesn't help: it's dimly lit, with black walls and a single window behind the chair -- great for her to see your hair, but you're completely backlit in the mirror, meaning you can't clearly see the results until you're in normal lighting. (In hindsight, that feels intentional.) At this last appointment, I came in with faded pink and brown roots, expecting a simple root bleach and color refresh. Instead, I left with a huge band of lighter pink across the middle of my head and a harsh transition to darker pink below. I didn't see it until I got home and looked in a properly lit mirror. When I texted photos and asked if she could fix it, she admitted she saw the banding -- but refused to fix it. Her excuse? That the appointment was too short and I "needed seven hours instead of five." Worth noting: I never book my own time. I always call and have her team schedule me, since they know my hair length and needs. She then pivoted, saying I don't come in "regularly enough" for my "color goals" (something she'd never mentioned before). I told her I would've adjusted my visits if that expectation had been communicated. Again, she refused to make it right -- and then fired me as a client. For reference: I was a $700-per-visit client. If this is how she treats someone investing that much, I can't imagine the experience for anyone spending less. If you still choose to go: pay with a solid credit card. Thankfully, mine sided with me and issued a full refund after seeing the photos and text thread. _____________________ Edited to add, in response to the salon's reply (8.12.25): To clarify a few things mentioned, for additional transparency: Again, I booked by phone every time so your team could allot enough time for my long, vivid-treated hair. I never used the online system. I never asked for any clients to be moved around. I never chose the length of my service. The first appointment was not fully corrected -- just a darker overlay added to blend the harsh bleach, which faded. I didn't push the issue and was never offered or given a refund, ever. Nor did I reach out about the issues with my second appointment; I fixed it myself. The lighting in the salon makes it very difficult to assess the results before leaving -- whether one black wall or not, the fact of the matter is Panduh's space is dim and backlit. I communicated calmly and respectfully, shared photos, and simply asked for the banding to be fixed. You acknowledged it and declined. Then dropped me as a client. If you're going to respond, please include the full context. I am.

Well, that's Esther, all the way! All of the staff is incredibly friendly and the vibe of the Salon is super homey. The owner Panduh is super generous and is clearly invested in the Queer & Trans community. I feel lucky to have found them, and hope to see them whenever I'm in Durham. Super bummed I'll be on the road too much to get my hair cut there every time.
