I'm going to save you months of time and countless tearful looks in the mirror: GO HERE FOR YOUR HAIR! I am particularly partial to Taylor as she is my stylist, however, I feel confident telling you to choose any of the stylists at The Legacy Salon with whom you feel comfortable, and book your appointment. Taylor is passionate about hair: everything hair-color, cut, care...you name it. My complimentary consultation with Taylor was the perfect question and answer session for both of us. Her questions are intuitive, and it is clear that she is listening. As it turns out, the color process that I wanted for my hair would have been quite uncomplimentary when considering my hair texture, my skin tone. Taylor explained 'why,' and provided fabulous suggestions that were completely satisfying. I like my natural brown color BUT with grey coming in, I thought I needed to go with grey-blending. I didn't want to-I don't like the way it looks on me. NOT ONE OTHER stylist in NC bothered to tell me (or even knew for that matter), WHY that was not a look for me. Finally, thanks to Taylor, now I knew. She is a plethora of information about hair color. She absolutely knows what she is talking about. Now, let's talk about haircuts! I watched other stylists at Legacy and Taylor recently cut my hair. Taylor and her stylists KNOW how to cut hair! After spending almost 2 years in NC searching for a salon that does superb color and cuts, I have found it. The other places I've been to have no clue what they are doing. I walked into my house after a simple conditioner treatment and blow dry and my family could not believe how healthy my hair looked. A week later after color and cut, my husband remarked that Taylor is without a doubt in first place for my hair. She joins a small but incredibly well regarded group of colorists/stylists: AJA (Bumble & Bumble, NYC), Charles Slider (Thunder Salon, Philadelphia...an ALLURE MAGAZINE BEST STYLIST), and Fatima (Faina Hair Salon, Sterling, VA...A Northern Virginia BEST STYLIST winner multiple times). When I say that Taylor knows her business, believe me. Next, I cannot imagine you will ever walk into a salon that will instantly make you feel as welcome and comfortable as The Legacy Salon. Nick is there behind the reception desk and is also providing services at the shampoo sink, etc., and he is so comfortable to talk to! Literally 5 minutes after meeting Taylor and Nick, I felt like I had known them forever. That alone is such a great experience especially after frequenting salons that have no clue about client relations to say nothing about hair color and cut. All that to say, if while you are sitting in your stylist's chair, and he or she is busy making TikTok videos, giggling like a school girl at another client's expense, and generally ignoring you, head for the door and never go back! I am almost one week post color and cut by Taylor at The Legacy Salon. All of my boxes regarding hair needs are checked. Last but not least, the fees at The Legacy Salon are reasonable, and a breath of fresh air when compared to the exorbitant fees charged at other salons. Additionally, the level of color and cut expertise is absolutely top-notch here. I researched for months and made my appointment, and I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend this salon. read more

First visit: excellent experience and very satisfied with the entire service. Taylor (owner/operator) listens, does what you're asking and then outperforms. Everyone who works there appears to be knowledgeable and talented. I left very impressed, satisfied and looking forward to my next visit! read more

I was looking for a salon with evening and weekends. I found The Legacy salon on Google. I got an appointment the same weekend. Taylor, the owner, took time to understand what I wanted and took time to explain what techniques would give me what I wanted. I got a lovely cut and a perfect color match. I have only good things to say read more

I have been to many beauty salons, I always get so nervous due to feeling judged or anything by the stylists. Let me tell youuu! I spent about half my day here and I wouldn't want it any other way. The vibes were so upbeat and chill. The team was so professional yet fun. If you are looking for a place, even if you are not. Please check out Taylor and the team here. You will not be disappointed! read more

I had an amazing experience here. Judi and Donna made me feel very welcome when I came in late after having missed my appointment with Taylor. I came in looking to change up my style and didn't have much more than vague notion of what I wanted to do. Carla worked me in her schedule and spent time with me brainstorming different cuts and colors. She explained to me that as a new stylist, she didn't have a lot of experience with the cut I wanted. After having seen how meticulous and professional she is, I told her to go for it! I'm amazed with the results. Taylor freed up later in the afternoon and gave a very professional color consultation. Between the two of them, I now have a rockin' do and fresh new spring in my step. I've never been one for salons, (it had been 3 years since I had paid for a haircut before I came in) but I'm totally sold on it now. I spent the afternoon being pampered and fussed over by a flock of beautiful women who really take their craft seriously. I can't wait to go back! read more

The Legacy Salon - Burgundy to add dimension to my dark hair. Done by Maris - Hair Salons Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

My daughter went to this salon for all over blond highlights. After having her hair bleached white, they #1."toned it down to a yellow, then #2 toned it down to an orange and #3 put an ashe toner over all of that. Needless to say and it came out horrific and orange-yellow color. Our appt was for 4pm and we left the salon at 11PM! Taylor refused to give me a credit of my $161.00 which I stupidly paid up from (I trusted her) - never pay up front, but I had errands to do......This morning I called chromastics hair color hotline and they told me that Jennifer (mentored the whole time by Taylor) overbleached the hair and should have used a different toner base mixed with their chromastics color (bluish or violet -i forget) so the color mixing was all wrong too. STILL no credit from Taylor. I had to dispute the charge - shame on Troutman Beauty Affaire - the Legacy...... read more

Got me in for an appointment last minute (Love online booking) while a little on the pricey side, everyone was very nice and professional. Would consider going again. read more

Amazing! Ive only gone in for a consult today and im going to be getting complex multicolors done here soon with Ashley and im so excited for the appointment to come. She showed me her portfolio and shes very talented. She also sat down with me and went through the finances to help me get to where i want to be in order to get my hair looking great and it was really comforting to know that shes got my back and is willing to make this happen in the most realistic way possible. The shop environment is amazing and you feel like family right when you walk in. Also her dog is super cute! read more

Taylor was and is amazing, she knew exactly what I wanted and made it come true. She fixed my botched hair that a previous salon gave me! I walked in feeling nervous and walked out feeling great. Hair is everything! Thanks Taylor! read more

Taylor Downs is my favorite hairstylist in the Raleigh area! She is highly trained and inherently good at what she does. She definitely has the Midas touch. Please go see her if you have any hair color needs, curly/coarse hair, or want to change up your look. Cannot recommend her enough! read more

Taylor was impressively knowledgeable and explained that she was reading the pattern of my hair growth and my head shape. I've been to so many hairdressers that seem to hate cutting short hair, and it showed. Taylor is an exception. So happy I found her! read more

This salon does a treatment called "Crystal Gel." It's transforming to detox and fortify your hair. Seriously made my hair like it was 25 years younger. I went in with a horrible previous hair cut from a salon in Durham, and the owner gave a good cut to steer my hair in the right direction. It has grown out really well which is always the sign of a great haircut- how it grows out. Thanks! read more

Can't thank Olivia, Judi and Taylor enough! I came in for a major color correction. Olivia and Judi consulted with me for almost an hour to understand what had been done to my hair previously, what I wanted and what they suggested and then fit me in to do it all the next day. What stood out most is how knowledgeable each of them are and what a great team they all are. They truly value each other's opinions and consult with each other to make sure their clients leave happy. Olivia did my color and Judi did my cut and they both took their time to make sure everything was done perfectly. I left with a beautiful color and cut and most importantly my hair felt healthy! read more

Just had my second visit at Trouman's Hair Salon. My first and second appointment was with extremely talented and lovely Olivia. I went in for a trim and some lowlights. Honestly, people, this is the FIRST time that I actually received just what I was looking for and ended up getting much more. All of my brassie blond is now gone and replaced with beautiful lowlights that actually worked with my complexion. Olivia made excellent suggestions as to actual color of the lowlights, and bingo! She was right on target. The trim is also just what I had wanted from other salons, but never received. The cut is very flattering, and my hair is healthy and happy once again. These people are miracle workers, posing as hairstylists. I highly recommend this salon because Olivia and Taylor are exceptionally talented! Thank you, ladies! read more

Taylor has been doing my hair for years and always goes above and beyond my expectations. She's helped me grow my hair out from a bob to all the way down to my waist, all while keeping it colored. My hair is longer, healthier, and shinier than it's ever been! At this point I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair read more

I originally chose this salon by checking Yelp and Google reviews and am totally thrilled that I went with in and gave Taylor carte blanche with my hair. I LOVE the cut and the color. So much so that I have returned 3 times for touch ups. That may not sound like much but I NEVER get touchups on time and rarely do I return to the same stylist as I had not yet found a stylist who did a GREAT job with my hair. I feel that I have found that stylist in Taylor. She does a great job, she listens, makes suggestions and then does an even better than hoped for cut/color for me! I will definitely return, on time, and ready to leave the magic to her! read more

I came in with overbleached, solid colored blonde hair, and after a thorough consultation with Judi, left with a head full of highlights, ranging from golden blonde to light brown. Thanks to Judi's expertise, my hair has a lot of dimension and depth. The haircut she gave me looks great. Best of all, I am actually able to style it at home--which is truly a first. Judi makes sure that her clients are satisfied. I highly recommend Judi. The other stylists appear to do an excellent job as well. This is my go-to hair salon. Go see for yourself. You won't be disappointed! read more
