Katie at Sea Ray Salon is HANDS DOWN THE BEST STYLIST I have EVER had the pleasure of working with…read more When I asked her how long she had been doing hair I was shocked to learn that she had just finished school, then much less surprised when she told me she had graduated at the top of her class AND received honors. As a self-proclaimed tomboy, I'm always nervous to work with a new stylist out of fear that I'm going to end up with a hard-to-maintain and style super complicated 'do. However, Katie styled my hair in a way that made me feel more feminine than ever without feeling like I was getting ready for prom. The cut and color both looked and felt so natural and I have never before felt so stylish and pretty! One thing that I TRULY appreciate about her is the fact that she LISTENS. I wear my hair in a ponytail every single day for work and too many stylists have ignored me when I said this. In the past I would too frequently end up with a cut so short that I had this tiny little ridiculous ponytail and hair falling all over the place (including in to my eyes). Katie cut my hair to the perfect length where it looked healthier and fuller but still left a great looking ponytail! (And on her first try, at that!) Most importantly (to me, anyway) is that Katie really took the time to teach me how to work with my hair and new 'do. I never used to spend a lot of time on it but now I look forward to going out so that I can work to replicate what she did when she styled it. With the explicit instructions that she gave me I'm getting better and better at it each time and still ALWAYS get compliments on how great it looks! Needless to say, I cannot recommend Katie highly enough and look forward to my next trip to Wilmington so that I can go back to her!!!

Finding a new stylist after moving to a new city can be stressful, but Ryane made it easy. My…read morestylist in Asheville recommended her, and she absolutely lived up to the hype. I came in for a cut and balayage, and the results were even better than I imagined. The color is soft, natural, and perfectly beachy--like I just spent a week on the Carolina coast. My hair feels healthier than it has in years, and the cut is perfection. Ryane has an incredible eye for color and detail, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Noè Hair & Nail Lounge is also a gem. The space is gorgeous, modern, and coastal-chic, with a relaxing atmosphere and exceptional customer service.

I love that. They sell high end hair products too. I'm very happy this lounge opened because we really needed something like this on CB! Definitely worth checking out and trying. I've missed this type of service since leaving the northern region!
