After many years of having a hair stylist elsewhere she had retired. I started going to the cheap…read morewalk-in place and was never happy. The cuts and style were beyond the realm of "you get what you pay for", they should have been free. I needed to find a real studio and stopped into Hair Designer Studios. I was a walk-in and the owner, Lori, was available. I finally got a haircut from a real pro and it was great. When I needed to get the purple dye out of my hair she was very careful to bleach it and on the second round of bleach she added some darker blonde tones so it wasn't so stark white. It came out beautiful and hair was still healthy so I could dye it back to my own color after a week. I have seen Lori ever since and I'm always happy with the results. I'm contacting her to put my hair back to purple as soon as possible. I recommend Hair Designer Studios.

I went to Glam Lounge equipped with a Groupon as I usually don't pay that much for a haircut and…read morewas extremely pleased with the entire experience. The building itself is rather shabby and off the beaten path, but once inside I immediately felt the intimacy and laid-back vibe of the salon. I was admittedly weary of the haircut as I am extremely picky and have had more than my share of unfavorable cuts, even at super pricey salons. I gave Debra an idea of what I wanted-- a trim and more bangs to better frame my Tyra forehead-- and an hour later after a perfect not-too-short trim and meticulous tiny scissor shaping, my hair looked AMAZING. This is the first time I haven't secretly freaked out about a haircut in at least 2 years. After I was finished, Dawn helped me pick out two products based on my concerns about the summer fro-inducing humidity and my need for a new hairspray. I was weary again to purchase products as they are Glam Lounge's own line (I'm typically dependent on reading reviews before beauty product purchases), but the laminating gel is like sunshine in a bottle for my straightening needs, and the hairspray is the perfect balance of hold and flexibility. I love this place, and I still get compliments on my hair almost every day.

Great place! I…read morefirst heard of Glam Lounge when I asked someone in my gym class where she got her beautiful hair colored. She mentioned this place and I looked into it. To be honest, when I first visited, I was surprised by its off-the-beaten path location and unpretentious building. Dawn gave me a cut and color. She's very nice and patient, and her baby is SO cute! (He was sleeping in his little carseat when I was there.) Being my first time, the color didn't turn out as blonde as I had requested so Dawn worked with me to get it right. The final product is JUST what I was looking for and am very pleased with it. Ahh! Looking forward to my next visit. The price is very reasonable for the quality of service you get. Thanks, Dawn!

Horrible experience. My hairstylist was 30min late to our appointment. Then I had to wait another…read more30min for her to figure out how to renew her license on her phone because the inspector was in the building. We had no discussion about cost or any kind of consult. She began working on my hair and told me we'd be done in a couple of hours. Well, she ran over her time by 1.5 hours and my husband and I missed our appointment that we had planned afterwards. He showed up and waited patiently because she said we'd be done soon. SMH! Because she ran over her estimated time, she began to rush through my treatment. She decided not to wash my treatment out which was fine until I got home and all I smelled throughout the night was horrible chemicals. I wanted to vomit because the smell was so strong and awful. And when it was time to pay. The fee I was expecting to pay was from what I saw listed on her website. What I was being charged was an extra $60 in addition to what was listed. She claimed I had a lot of hair and needed more product; I've had this treatment performed several times before at other salons and they never charge me extra. At the beginning of the appointment she said the special shampoo and conditioner I was being sent home with was included in the price, so I thought oh that's great. But afterwards she said the price increase was because of the special products she had to send me with. There was no fine print on her website that broke down any possible price increases, and the details listed said the shampoo and conditioner were included in the cost, so why am I having to pay extra for them? Why didn't she have a proper consult at the beginning of the hair appt? Is it because you were 1 hour late to begin? Plus having to hear gossip and poking fun about the other stylists in the salon was rude and uncomfortable. So incredibly unprofessional. Never again.

She is very knowledgeable with color, and knows what will and won't look good on your head. She's given my limp, straight hair volume and life.

I've given her free rein with my hair and am never disappointed. I will gladly commute from North Raleigh every 6-8 weeks to Clayton just for these two women.

Didn't blow dry and style my hair I left with damp hair. I asked if that was normal and her reply was "Well older ladies are the ones that ask for it to be styled and you came in with your hair up" uhhh duh, why would I come in with hair 100% fixed and styled for the hair stylist? My favorite part about getting highlights and a trim is walking out date ready for my husband. So so disappointed. Oh one more thing, cash or check only- didn't know that, had to go to Dollar General and make multiple purchases to get cash back since there is a dollar limit. I seriously cried.

The Beauty Barn, snugly tucked away in rural Benson, is Johnston County's best-kept beauty secret!…read moreDon't let its small size fool you; it's proof that great things come in tiny packages. This custom-built, state of the art salon is super clean, bright, cheerful and home to one of North Carolina's most talented hairstylists. Amanda has been my stylist since 2004! If she moved to different salons I followed her, and am thrilled that she now owns her own salon. I'll never trust anyone else with my hair, and you shouldn't either. You will never find better customer service anywhere in this state. She treats every customer's hair as if it's her own. My hair was stubborn and contrary when I started going gray and needed color treatments. It wouldn't take brown (my natural color) or black dye, and bleaching dried it out. Amanda created a custom color-mix that turns out flawless each and every time - and without damaging it. People often stop me in public and compliment me on my one-of-a-kind red hair! Need a special 'do for your wedding or prom? Amanda will spiff you right up. Got hair somewhere you don't want it? She'll take care of that too. Beauty Barn prices can't be beat.. A big-name salon in Raleigh charged me $300 (way back in 2004!) for the same job just because I have long hair - and they're the ones who couldn't get my color right and damaged it. Thank goodness I found Amanda! If you want to rock a head of hair, long beautiful hair, shining, streaming, waxen flaxen that can fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees..... ( Sorry, just had to) - come to Beauty Barn.

Second, I've always had curly/wavy, somewhat dry hair that easily frizzes up and drove me crazy all through my childhood. With that out of the way, I just wanted to say I've gone here for the past three years and love love LOVE this place. Heather is awesome because you can walk in and say "I'm not sure what I want but here is the vaguest possible idea EVER" and she snips and cuts and everything looks amazing! The only thing I ever wanted with my hair - LESS BODY. And Heather was the first stylist I had who actually listened to that and created some awesome, debodifying layers. The salon carries two lines of products for women: Pureology and Framesi. Heather's recommended a wide variety - hair gels and shampoos / conditioners and shine. I've liked every product I use and love both of the lines. I think both companies really put a lot of thought into the kinds of natural products that can keep hair healthy and moisturized, which is important to me. Pureology, which advertises itself as a vegan brand, is pricey but worth it. Again, I love this place and recommend it to everyone.
