One of the hardest things about leaving DFW was leaving my hair stylist/designer, Ryan. When moving…read moreback to the RDU area I knew I'd have to find a new hair person. Well, Ryan actually helped me out. He's certified in L'Oreal color, so he used his fellow contacts to find me a salon in the Triangle. Douglas Carroll! I'd heard of Douglas Carroll because I'd seen their photos in hairstyle magazines when I used to buy those years ago when I lived in Charlotte, but I'd never been to the salon in Raleigh. I took Ryan's suggestion and made an appointment after getting some stylist recommendations from the DC Salon. I brought my hair color formula with me from Dallas, and Luanna the Raleigh stylist was able to take that and just keep right on going with my hair. Whew! She was able to cover my greys and give me a trim I liked. The salon itself has a cool vibe -- lots of hair stations, a great color mixing area in the back, plus a section up front with various hair products. Parking at this location can be tough depending on what day you come. I'd recommend making an appointment during the week if you're able.

It meant the world to me! As a woman in her mid-40's the last thing I need is to feel self-conscious about my hair. I left there feeling beautiful. Everyone here was incredibly friendly and genuinely serious about their craft. The level of skill at this salon far surpasses others at the same price point. Noah was the main stylist who worked on my hair and he was amazing. But what was most impressive was the way the whole team worked together to ensure myself and the other clients were taken care of. I also really appreciated their honesty about the state of my hair and the fact that it would take a couple sessions to fully correct what was done at the other salon. I was so happy with the results, but definitely appreciated Noah's honesty most of all. The salon overall seems to be run with integrity and highly skilled professionals.

Finding a new hairstylist is just as difficult as finding a new doctor. Whenever I move to a new area I try to ask for referrals from people who have similar hair to mine. I was referred to Alfa Jae Salon by someone who also has curly hair, however, after my visit I learned the person who referred me only gets their hair colored and gets it cut somewhere else. Here's what I liked about the salon: Everyone there was wonderful, they had a very cool eclectic vibe and lots of women were getting unique hair coloring done. I've always worn my hair straight but I'm ready to embrace my natural curl so I made the appointment requesting a cut and styling tips on how to manage my curls. The stylist was very sweet, she gave me a quick tutorial on how to add product and trying techniques, however the cut was average. The owner overheard our conversation because I was asking a lot of questions about layering and needing more shape and she immediately stepped in with some advice for the stylist. I didn't love my hair when I left but I also did hate it. I later learned the stylist I selected was still in training so that made a lot of sense on some of the apprehension she demonstrated and she said if it didn't work out I could come back. Now that I've learned more about styling curly hair I think if I would have scrunched out the crunch and did a little shaking it would have met my expectations. I'll be honest, I am very picky about my hair and own being a difficult client. This salon is great but I needed a more seasoned stylist, had I known she was a junior stylist I would have likely not made the appointment.

These people royally…read morescrewed up my hair and had zero self-awareness or common sense to just look at it and see that. I have a simple haircut that works for the shape of my head and deals with my cowlicks for years. I explained this in the consult and showed photo references several times to the hairstylist, and I should have recognised this pattern early because I told her I had just washed my hair like 2 hours prior so I don't need to do that again, and after the cape goes on she has me go over there and does it anyway. Zero listening or comprehension skills. Another creative way to describe the disaster is, it looks like I came in with vastly unrealistic expectations based on photo references that don't match the shape of my head - except all the photo references ARE OF MY OWN PAST HAIRCUTS DONE ON MY OWN HEAD. I opened with an ask for a trim and came out of this place looking like a drug addict from a trailer park. I'm too self-conscious and judgemental to tell in the salon (and what am I gonna do anyway, have them glue my messed up hair back on?) not to mention conflict-averse because at this point I've acquired serious anxiety with hairdressers from how many times I've had someone mess it up. To be specific, I had basic layering/tapering maintained here and my length was just getting a bit too heavy. I also have a previous haircut disaster that I'm trying to fix from when my last hairstylist insisted on cutting this godawful V-shaped taper in the back of my neck that destroyed my natural hairline - I made the hairstylist aware of this. She didn't do anything to it at all and it still is sticking out looking lazy and unkempt just as it did when I walked in. Is a hairdresser not able to comprehend the nuance of "hey the last person messed this up, but I don't want it to be sticking out either so just try to handle it to get it back to where it should be?" Whatever layering I had has been obliterated. I lost no hair on the back of my head and a ton off the top of my head, utterly destroying the sense of balance my hair created for my large cranium. The huge chunk of hair she hacked out of the front left side of my head makes it look like my hair is falling out! It looks God awful, I am horrified and ashamed to go outside because of what these people did to my hair. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BUSINESSES THAT DO NOT RUN ON COMPETENCE OR COMMON SENSE. Avoid it like the Black Plague. I can throw $50 down the drain but I can't get my hair back to where it was. If I can't find a better place then I'm literally going to have to fly around the world to pay $20 to the random guy in Indonesia who did a good job six months ago. EDIT: The response to this review is more proof than the haircut that everything I said about this place is accurate and then some. FWIW, they did leave a voicemail and tried to ask if I could come back in so they could "fix it", which is not how haircuts work. No mention of refunds for the damage, no coupon, and no apology, so to think that was done in good faith is not reasonable. As for the personal attacks towards me running for federal office, yes, I ran precisely because there are too many people with money & power who are vicious, lying cowards and understood that Congress would be an excellent place to put that kind of thing out to pasture. It's a shame I didn't win because we could clearly still use this attitude of mine in light of circumstances like this! Thanks for nothing though!
