Melanie (the owner) was very friendly and her shop is neat & clean. She fit me in w/in the week. Melanie is very talented and her years of experience allowed her to know right what I needed to feel like a new woman! I got a cut & color and I am very pleased with how it looks. I would definitely go back & will recommend OBX Hair Salon to everyone. The shop has a beach theme and the eye catching artwork was all done by Melanie. read more

Travelled from Boston to OBX. On this rainy day I decided to get my hair cut because I just wasn't liking the way it looked. I walked in and Diane was able to cut my hair right then! What a fabulous cut!! Thank you so much Diane! It's not easy to make my very thin hair look great, but you did! read more

I've been seeking a hair stylist on the Outer Banks for a solid 3 1/2 years. Much to my dismay it hasn't been easy! I have a short, spiky hair style that needs lots of texture which requires some razor work. Not trying to "re-invent the wheel"...just want to maintain what I have. My first visit to OBX Hair was pleasant and I could tell that the stylist wanted to give me the service I was seeking. She asked lots of questions & took her time to create the perfect haircut. I'll be returning next week for my 4th haircut. Also, I have several friends who have had good experiences with cut & color. I would highly recommend the services of OBX Hair!!! read more

Diamond Beauty & Barber Supply

Bad Situation Turned Good…read more This past Friday, November 17th, I purchased two Andis products from this store (1 Andis Profoil Shaver /1 Andis T-Outliner). To my dismay after returning home, while attempting to turn on the T-Outliner, I found it to be inoperable. Unable to return the product that day due to a weekend trip out of town, I returned to the store today to exchange this product and to ask about the possibility of exchanging the "Andis" Shaver for a "Wahl" Shaver. Upon my return to the store, I had a negative experience with "Jay", the store manager. He questioned me (did you drop it?) and alluded to me being untruthful after seeing a hair follicle on the side of the T-Outliner (which may have been picked up from my bathroom while using another product). After some back and forth, between myself, my brother and Jay, Jay tested the product and confirmed that it did indeed not work. He tested another T-Outliner and allowed me to exchange the defective product for the working one. Consequently, after Jay opened the box for the Shaver, he identified hair shavings inside the blade opening, keeping in mind I had not opened the box. I was shocked by this. Jay informed me that he could not exchange the shaver and that the new Outliner was non-returnable. After this interaction, I was angered and very offended. I quickly decided to call back to the store to gain the owner's contact information to further discuss the matter. After making several attempts to call, I finally got in touch with someone. To my dismay, it was Jay, the associate I had interacted with prior. Jay informed me that he was the owner. I explained to him how I had felt about his rudeness and after several minutes of talking, Jay apologized and informed me that he would accommodate my need to exchange the shaver. Long story short, Jay handled our altercation in a professional manner. He admitted that he had maybe based our interaction from past experiences from customers that tried to get over on them. I definitely understand this viewpoint, as I have worked customer service for several years. Overall, Jay made my day by taking time to hear me out and assisting me. I will definitely return to this store just because of how this young man handled this situation. He owned up to his mistake and helped me out in the end.I have much respect for him and his willingness to turn a bad situation into a very positive one. Thanks Jay! You've gained a repeat customer in me. Shop here!!!

Fantastic hair cuts and color!! Love it! Melanie gave me such a wonderful new cut and color that sent both my son and daughter to her and they were equally pleased and thought it was one of their best cuts ever! Melanie took the time to figure out we were looking for, made recommendations based on hair types (mine is so thick I had stuck with the same cut for years, but trusted Melanie to try give me something new) and then gave us all great cuts!!! Melanie also does feathers and hair extensions so my daughter was thrilled. We highly recommend OBX hair and will drive back from Raleigh to get our cuts / color from here again!! read more

I am constantly trying to figure out what kind of hair style I want to try. Normally at other places you have to know every detail you want for your hair but here they help and can actually give advice to make your hair look amazing. They do a fantastic job! I got extensions because I LOVE long hair and mine grows way to slow. They did a wonderful job on how they look and making sure I had all the proper things I needed to take care of them. They actually care about how your hair looks and feel and keeping it that way! Absolutely love this place and would highly recommend stopping by OBX Hair Salon! read more

Diane gave me a cut that made me feel great and gain some confidence back. I can't wait to come back and sit in her chair for color. Beautiful salon, cozy and inviting. Stellar customer service.

Struggled into OBXHS late yesterday looking like I'd been living way way off the grid. Greeted very nicely considering my banshee looking hair.

A great set of Blue Eyes hangs there also, just sayin'. Thanks again guys, it was a pleasure. JJ read more
