I have been a client of Topknot for almost 2 years and have always been satisfied. Owner Camille's prices have been steadily climbing since I first started going. Over $200 for a trim and color. I was use to paying these prices at other high end salons and it was not a problem. Camille recently gave me a trim and color. Camille had colored my hair a few months ago and It was time for a trim and color touch up. I wanted Camille to tone down the brassy blonde and get rid of the gray at my roots. She died the root area a dark brown and said she would apply a glaze over the rest to tone down the blonde. I paid $174 plus a tip of $25. Once finished I loved the cut but remarked my root area looked to dark and wasn't well blended with the bottom part of my hair. I was not satisfied. Camille said that was the style. A few days later I reached out to Camille to let her know my dissatisfaction. She said for an additional $55 I could have 10 highlights put in and she would put another glaze on. I felt like I was a great client for 2 years and had spent thousands with Camille's business. I believe Camille should have offered to make me happy and fix the issue at no cost. I now see it is all about the money and not the customer service. I was not trying to take advantage. I just want my color right and get what I had already paid for. Raleigh is full of talented stylists and I have taken my business elsewhere. read more

Top Knot by Amanda - Hair Stylists Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

VERY DECEIVING. WILL REQUIRE YOU TO PURCHASE AN ADDITIONAL TONING PACKAGE ($25). GROUPON IS A SCAM. To start off, I am a college student at NC State, so to say the least, I like to find the best deal for the best price. With that being said, I usually go to the hair school (Mitchell's Hair Academy) to get a haircut and highlights. Sure - the process is a hassle because it normally takes around 3 hours to complete, but the end result is flawless due to the hair stylists being guided by their instructors the whole time. Unfortunately, I was in a time crunch before I left for a summer internship and only had two days to schedule an appointment before my departure. With Mitchell's being fully booked, I had to result to Groupon to search out another good deal. That is when I found Amanda's inclusive haircut + highlight deal for $75 and I immediately jumped on it. When I got there, it was kind of hard to find as the whole building is comprised of individual salon shops. After making a couple of loops around the building, I found the correct salon. I told Amanda what I wanted with regard to style and cut and she started foiling my hair. After completely foiling my hair and sticking me under the hair dryer for a good amount of time, only THEN did she ask me if my previous hair stylists toned my hair. As I go to the hair school, I was not aware if they did because they instantly know what they need to do to make my hair the way I want. She then informed me that in order to get the colored highlights that I was requesting (caramel highlights on brown hair), I would have to PURCHASE an additional $25 worth of toner to make the highlights that I had originally requested turn out the way I had previously described. Needless to say, as I had already paid $75 for the groupon, I showed up to the salon with only enough money to give her a tip. Therefore, I had no money to pay an additional amount to receive the color that I was originally promised. By the end of the cut and blow dry, my hair was completely botched because the highlights weren't attuned to my hair - they were only bleached. After going to another salon to get it fixed, they informed me that she knew from the beginning that the foiling would only bleach my hair. Therefore it was very deceiving of her to only ask after she had fully foiled my hair on whether I wanted to purchase an additional toning package. read more

The salon is gorgeous and the girls are beyond talented! Amanda has been doing my hair for over 5 years and has taken me from beautiful blonde to ombré to brunette and back to blonde again - all while keeping my hair healthy! I moved to NY a year ago but still come back down for my hair - she's that good! read more

See all

Amanda is so talented and knowledgeable!! Adorable and comfortable salon. My hair looks amazing. Highly recommend!!!

I purchased a groupon for a haircut, blow dry, and partial highlight with Amanda. I'm new to Raleigh and didn't really have any direction on who to use as my hair dresser. I came into Amanda's suite area and was very welcomed!! She listened to what I wanted and explained what my Groupon included and that we could do more IF I wanted. I never felt pressured to do more or anything. Amanda kept conversation going and did SUCH an amazing job on my hair. I'm so excited to say I've found a new hair stylist in Raleigh and can not wait to recommend her to my friends around the area!! read more

I love Amanda. She's been doing my hair since I moved to Raleigh and is incredibly talented. When I wanted to take my hair from long to a pixie, she gave me a badass cut that I loved. And when I wanted to grow it long again, the skillful trims and reshaping in between have made growing it out a dream. She was recommended to me by a friend and now I recommend her to all of mine. read more

Camille is incredible. I never ever have had such a good experience. I'm used to crowded salons with forced conversation and outrageous prices. Camille was professional, hilarious and made flexible with appointment times. She gave me a lot of advice to improve the health of my hair. I almost don't want to write a review to keep this place a secret! Camille and Top Knot are great!! read more

I started seeing Amanda when she was at another salon a few years ago, and I've stuck with her since! I'm very picky about who I let do my hair since it's curly and harder to work with but Amanda always styles it beautifully. I also had her balayage my hair for the first time which I was very nervous about but it came out exactly how I wanted it. I just went back for a refresh (see picture). Their rates are also very reasonable. I highly recommend this salon! read more
