First, I just wanted to say that there are currently two stylists, Heather and Brandy, but I always go to Heather so this review is about her. 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. read more

Got the best haircut I've ever gotten with Jessica Huskey at Design Gallery Salon. She's terrific, and the Salon has a great, friendly, atmosphere. Very welcoming and comfortable in a great location. I highly recommend the Salon and especially Jessica. read more

Lindsey is an outstanding stylist. I've had fun colors like blue and purple and she handled them expertly- bleaching my nearly black hair without frying it and giving me vivid color that lasted for months. When I was ready to go natural again she did the transition, giving me natural-looking color that was multi-dimensional. She's also given me great haircuts and is helping me grow out my undercut. Can't recommend her enough! read more

I've been here twice now for a cut, and Lindsey was my stylist both times. She's fun, friendly, and does a great job! She listened to what I wanted, suggested a few changes that turned out great, and basically gave me a haircut that was even better than what I had originally asked for. I'll definitely be coming back. So glad to have found myself a go-to stylist! read more

I recently purchased a Groupon for a haircut at The Design Gallery Salon. Didn't want to spend a lot but felt like I needed a trim and The Design Gallery was perfect for that! Terry cut my hair! She gave me what I wanted and was very friendly and easy to talk to. They made me some yummy french press coffee during the cut. Left with shorter hair! Nothing about it really wowed me, but I got exactly what I wanted and spent what I wanted (really reasonable prices). Since nothing really wowed me and this wouldn't be my first recommendation for color (person next to me was having that done though) I am giving 4 stars. This is probably more of a 4.5-star situation. read more

I have been to this salon a couple of times over the past year. I've only had Lindsey work on my hair so I can't speak to the other stylists there, but Lindsey is phenomenal. She's some kind of hair wizard or something! Really her skills are outstanding, I have been so happy with how I look (I've gotten cuts and color). I highly recommend this stylist and this salon! read more

People find a lot of things when they go away to college...they find out how well they work under pressure, they find out how to mutlitask and prioritize, they find out what kind of alcohol tolerance level they have...the list goes on. Fortunately, when I went to school at NC State, I found Heather and Design Galllery Salon. Having only been to one hair stylist my entire life, I didnt know how to go about finding a new stylist in my new city, so I did the easiest thing and after class one day walked across the street and opened the door and the rest is history. Heather is awesome and I consider her a friend as well as my stylist. She is amazingly talented and I trust her styling expertise completely. She has a great eye for style and what look would be best for you. I cant commend Heather and Deisgn Gallery Salon enough. You wont be sorry! read more

They've moved to City Market - now no longer walking distance from my day to day routine. But I've gone back, which is a good sign. I like the cuts Lauren gives, and I haven't bounced around to different stylists. I hope they stay as busy as they used to. read more

I go to Brandy and love the way my hair turns out every time I leave. I always go in feeling like I don't really know how to explain what I want but somehow she just does something wonderful. My boyfriend gets his hair done by Heather and it always looks great! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. read more

I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Everyone there is so nice. Great vibe the second you walk in and Lindsey is one of the most meticulous and talented stylists I have ever known. I walked in after attempting to bleach and do the "unicorn hair myself" it was BAD. Lindsey was very polite, professional and fixed it. I will never go anywhere else. read more

I was in town for a wedding over thanksgiving weekend and took a chance on this salon. I was very luck to get Lindsey who did a great job styling my hair. Thank you! read more

II have had my hair done by Lauren for almost 10 years off and on. I can say that she is the best stylist I have ever come across. I have been to top stylists in Europe, no one does hair like Lauren. When I have left her salon, I feel like the most beautiful women with the hair style from Hollywood. I can tell you that she enjoys what she does and it shows in the end product when she holds up the mirror for you to see, it is a jaw dropping scene. I have had my jaw drop every time. I have never left disappointed after getting my hair styled by her. Fauzia F. Shah read more
