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.

I did the Japanese straightening treatment here, they are much faster than other salons that I usually go to get this service done- about two hours including the haircut, aside from being fast the results are great!

Very happy will return when my hair grows out!

Found Hitto Salon by searching for a "Japanese barber" on Yelp, and I was expecting that a…read moreprofessional barber would be able to do the haircut I wanted but I ended up leaving in disappointment. Had a 5PM appointment after calling earlier that day. There were 2 male barbers and 1 female one. The female 1, named Gina, was the one who did my haircut. None of them really made Hitto Salon welcoming; I felt like I was just another customer. My hair got a nice shampoo treatment but after that, Gina did not really take the time to understand the kind of haircut I wanted even after showing her a photo - a simple cut with a thicker top and more faded sides. Throughout the entire haircut, she barely said a word; the most silent treatment I got in a salon. She shaved the sides but the cut lacked the shape and care I got from other nearby salons. My wife said that the back part of my cut looks uneven, rushed. She used mostly the razor for shaving without the crafting of the scissors to shape my hair to its ideal form. She did not even use a mirror to show me the mess she made on the back of my head. It's worth noting that this was the 2nd time I got a haircut from Gina, the first being in another salon named Scissorhands. I didn't realize this until my wife later told me about it, and I initially thought she was someone who resembled her. If I knew this from the start, I would probably would have refused to get another haircut from her given how unprofessional she performed on my first haircut with her. At the end of the haircut, she styled my hair a bit with some kind of styling cream and hairspray but no amount of styling could hide the mess of a haircut she made.

Let's see, I moved to the area a little while ago and I got a recommendation to see a stylist at…read morethis salon, Kim Catalano. For the record, I cut and color my hair. The salon is small and very nice, I love the hair cuts that I have gotten there. I have not yet had Kim suggest what to do as I have been keeping the same cut that I had prior to moving to the area. However, over the course of seeing Kim I have had numerous strangers compliment my haircut. I LOVE IT (the cut that is)! She is truly an artist. She cuts with confidence and knows what she is doing. My color is always very nice too. I have so much confidence in Kim that this time I told here I wanted to change it up and just told her not what to do and it turned out great! This salon is not your average run of the mill style and pamper salon, it is a great place for great stylist. I would recommend this place to anyone for sure. Oh for the record Kim gets a 5 star rating. The salon I would give 4 because it doesn't have the happening vibe of other salon' s I have been to and since am official rating the salon...

Scissorhands is my family's favorite with my two younger brothers regularly getting haircuts here. Andy is not as friendly as Miss Kim in Morrisville, but we recently had a nice conversation about the Korean language since I just started studying it. The cut was masterful, for sure, and followed the example I showed in a photo saved in my phone. Shampoo was included at no additional cost and I did not have to wait in my latest visit around Friday noon. I used to pay around $30 to $35 for a regular men's cut but the latest service, Andy charged me $40 (not including tips). As for the atmosphere, it's more spacious than their old location (where they shared space with other salons) but it's not as spacious as Hair News. Nonetheless, it's in a good location by High House Road, close to Cici's Pizza, a small Walmart market, and just less than 5 minutes drive away from HMart.

Came in 10 mins before my appointment and got seated right away. The lady who cut my hair was so sweet and precise, and she asked me a bunch of questions about what I wanted. I let her have a lot of freedom, and it looked great in the end! It was a longer appointment than I expected, but she was very detailed. It ended up being $70 which is pretty expensive in my opinion for just a woman's haircut. If you don't mind paying a hefty price, you should come here.

I would like to preface this review with the fact that I am typically not picky about haircuts, and…read moreI don't usually get upset very easily. Not to say that I am upset, just very, very disappointed. Furthermore, If I leave with something that isn't 100% meeting my expectations, I usually adapt and life goes on. However, every time I look in the mirror I find myself disappointed with my hair after getting it cut a few days ago Anyways, I have been getting my hair haircut at Salon Blu for about three years now. Overall, it is a great experience and I usually leave happy with my hair. The stylists are always super friendly and we have pleasant conversations during. It is worth mentioning that this salon has staff who have different experience levels. I have always chosen or been placed with a stylist with a high experience level, but this time I chose to take a gamble and go with someone at a "level 1"... this was where I went wrong. We had a great conversation, and I told her the exact haircut that I wanted- just a simple medium length cut with lots of layers (I had long hair). Additionally, I provided about five reference photos of the exact haircut that I wanted. I figured the haircut would be simple enough to replicate. I told her verbatim "please just not too short". I expected that she would deliver the haircut that I wanted with the information I provided and the photos. This was not the case.... my idea of a medium length haircut was erased and replaced with essentially a "long bob" ... which is very short... about 4 inches shorter than what I asked for. I really wish that she had followed my instructions of where I wanted it to be cut at. I think that she did not have enough experience and didn't consider the fact that wet hair appears much shorter once it is dry. Another item that I did not care for was that my typical 45 minute haircut took her an hour and a half to complete. I do not mind the fact that she took her time, so much as that she cut my hair entirely too short despite knowing that I wanted a medium length like the photos. I will be honest and just say it outright: my hair looks hideous now :( I left the salon feeling very sad and disappointed- only clinging to the fact that hair grows back. Despite being super upset about my hair, I will continue to go to the salon blu, but I highly recommend that anyone who goes to this place chooses a stylist at a high level. Lesson learned

I…read morewish there had been more transparency and communication throughout the process regarding what result was realistically achievable. I came in wanting a lighter, cooler-toned balayage and showed an inspo photo of hair she had previously done herself. However, the final result turned out much warmer/orangier than expected. I completely understand the complexity of coloring and bleaching and that results may not always turn out exactly as planned. I was never told before, during, or after the appointment that my hair had not lifted enough to achieve the desired tone until I reached out afterward myself. After contacting the salon, the corrective option offered was a darker glaze/toner, which wasn't really the direction I wanted to go, so I decided not to do it because I wasn't confident it would achieve the result I was hoping for.
