I'm not one to get my hair cut frequently but this was such a fun experience. I was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile and was checked in quickly. My stylist was finishing up a client so I took a seat and was offered a delicious drink (I believe it was a Bellini) so did not mind waiting at all. Kelly took such care of me for my service. As mentioned, I don't get many haircuts because I enjoy longer hair. Kelly made note of my inspiration pictures from online as well as cuts I've had previously and we found a nice middle ground on length to take off. The shampoo was great, the conversation was fantastic and I was so happy with my end result. read more

I just moved to Charlotte and had anxiety about finding a new salon because I'm very picky with my long, thick hair and I like to style it a specific way. I booked Abigail and she did an amazing job! I couldn't be happier. She cut my hair exactly how I wanted (a side swoop bang- which is difficult) and also did an amazing job dying my hair. She was so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable with her process. I am SO HAPPY I chose this salon and will be back for future appointments! Thank you so much Abigail & Volume Salon read more

When it comes to my hair- I am super picky. I have had so many bad experiences in Charlotte trying to find a hairstylist who can cut & style hair. Anna is AMAZING. She listened to my wants, was gentle and super detailed with my experience. I am so happy to find not only an amazing salon- but an amazing stylist who I can trust with my hair. If you are booking at Volume, Anna is a solid choice. read more

Volume Salon - With her magic! - Hair Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Clean, efficient, professional. Friendly staff who listen to my requests and handle them accordingly. Overall a good experience.

Emily is the best! She saved my hair color and made my hair look exactly how I wanted it to look. I moved back to Charlotte from DC in 2021 and was scared to death of finding a new stylist to replace toe amazing Ola at Last Tangle in DC. Emily was the answer to my prayers! And the salon has a very chill vibe, which makes it pleasant to be there. I wholeheartedly recommend Emily and Volume Salon! read more

I have a lot of hair so I expected to pay a lot, my hair was a total of $300 including tip and I love Anna she is so sweet. The first time going, the tone was too light so she told me to come in again so she can fix it and she did an amazing job fixing the tone, which she did for free the second time with a blowout and conditioning which I thought was nice. I recommend Anna bc she tells you everything she is going to do and how much it will be! read more

Volume Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Been here before and usually was getting a nice haircut. Been last week and booked with Kelly for the first time, and I so regret it. My hair is all chopped up, I tried to style it and looks horrible, I am so disappointed. It's nothing like I asked. read more

If you go ask for Abigale !! I never really had haircuts in a salon growing up, and so diving into it as an adult has been an experience. I have done to a couple high end salons and they were fine, they did a good job. But I have to say I think I've found my go to salon. She does such a good job! I started out with her at this salon and have only gone to her since! I usually do face framing and a trim or light layers at the bottom and I leave feeling confident every time. She makes sure I get exactly what I want and is so nice about anything you may want to adjust or fix. She also styles my hair so cute and I couldn't be happier with my hair really. read more

Taylor is amazing! My stylist in California has scheduling issues and I could not wait anymore. I booked here while on a business trip - and now I want to take Taylor back to San Diego with me! For YEARS I've been trying to convey how I want my hair to get back to its original base and blonde highlights rather than the overprocessed blonde "highlights" have become. Go see Taylor. Highly recommend!!! read more

I DO NOT normally write reviews but I am Leaving a great review for Abigale, a stylist at Volume Salon. I moved here last year from the Hilton Head area where I had the same great stylist for 11 years and was a little panicked when trying to locate a stylist. On my second try, I found Abigale. She knew from the first cut exactly what I wanted. I was growing out a very short cut. Anyone who has done this knows it can be "painful";) She did a fabulous job, making the transition to longer hair look easy. I love my hair and get many compliments and refer to Abigale whenever I can. Call her, you will never be disappointed. She's fabulous. And a very nice human as well. You can't go wrong with her! read more

If you have short hair, double check that the stylist is comfortable doing women's short cuts. I paid $75 plus a tip for a poorly done cut from someone described as a senior stylist. She did not appear to understand what I meant by following the line of my previous cut, which was wonderful (different salon with no availability). I had to request to see the back of my head - she completed forgot! When I got home, I discovered that the sides were different lengths. $75???? read more

First off my stylist was sweet and kind, however the rating is only because I couldn't bring myself to express how bad I wanted to cry. (I did after I got outside) I wanted red or blonde, she said the blonde wouldn't be brassy or orange. It's is, and I was there for 5 hours only to get brassy hair and my cut I asked for was for a 35 year old instead my hair is cut exactly like my 12 year old niece. I paid the 180$ and even tipped because I'm not a hateful person. I have horrible anxiety with hair salons and I am never going to another one after this. read more

Volume Salon - This is a cut for a kid - Hair Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Volume Salon is directly next to my apartment complex and I became a new customer of theirs last summer (after moving to Charlotte). Dina has always been absolutely great and they are always willing to make time for a quick work-in haircut as needed, especially when I go on short notice business trips. She always does a great job and I highly recommend her. Dina and her team are very welcoming and always willing to help, even offering drinks when you walk in such as water or coffee. read more

This place is amazing! I found it because of a referral of a friend.. I go to Emily and she is absolutely the BEST! I have been going to her for about a year and a half now. I went from VERY long hair (lower back) to about a pixie cut, and I'm slowly growing it out, and I have YET to have an awkward "growing it out" phase! Everyone there seems to be very friendly as well. It is definitely the best spot to go! read more

I go to Lindsey and I love her she knows what she's doing. She very friendly too. Can be expensive for what you want but if you find a girl that knows what she's doing it's worth it read more

I've seen both Sarah and Laura here and they are both amazing! I've done color with them both and are really good at helping me figure out what I want without me fully knowing. In addition, they've talked me out of a couple potential poor choices, which is appreciated because some stylists will just let you jump off the deep end with no water. In addition, they've helped me out when I was in a crunch before and that is definitely really appreciated! read more

Emily gives me life!!!! A little over 2 years ago, I was on the search for a stylist who was good with curly hair and who wasn't afraid to give clients their opinion (they are the expert, not me!). I had tried several different places and couldn't seem to find "the one". When I called to make the appointment with Emily, she immediately contacted me and was extremely warm, excited, and willing to work with my schedule for our first appointment. I found gold with Emily. Not only is she great at her craft, but she is passionate about her work and her clients. Over the years, she has watched me go through many seasons of life and has always given me the "boost" i need to feel confident, stylish, and appropriate for whatever stage I was in (pregnancy, baby, after baby etc). She now not only cuts my hair but also my 1 year old ( i wouldn't take her to anyone but Emily!). When I recently found out Emily was one of the first in Charlotte to get certified with the Kacy Welch hand tied extension method, I knew it was my chance for long hair that would look natural. I have had short / medium hair for the past 15 years and even though I have wanted it long, I could never find the patience to grow it out. The day of my appointment, Emily walked me through the whole process (from color matching to maintenance). I am completely blown away with the results and haven't stopped smiling since I left the salon a few days ago. My hair is naturally curly so I was a bit concerned about how the extensions and my hair would mesh together. Emily blended the two so well that you can't tell which is my hair and the extensions. I feel younger and have gotten many compliments from friends and family already saying how natural they look. I would highly recommend EMILY and this method to anyone wanting longer hair or just a fun change. EMILY IS THE BEST. read more

I want to begin with saying that I slept on if I should write this review or not. I had the absolute worst experience I have ever had at a salon at Volume Salon. My appt was set for noon yesterday and I went in with high hopes. I arrive about 10 mins early and I sat with designated stylist. We discussed what I wanted (see added photos) and then began. During our session, she would also be assisting another client, which I said was fine. 4 hours later, my hair is orange. She doesn't think it looks bad and was going to send me on my way. I told her I needed it lighter (I used the word "rusty" at first instead of "orange" to be polite). She had to finish her other client, which was fine, and then try to fix my hair. Neither of us were happy and I was very uncomfortable. When we "finished" the "fix", she said she had another client so she wouldn't be able to blow dry alone and had someone assist her. I had two people pulling on each side of my head with a blow dryer. It was pretty horrible. I had had enough and eventually said "I just want to go home" as I had been there for 6 hours total already and I still did not have the hair I had asked for. The part that bothered me the most is that the man (which I assume was the owner) that was clearly in charge could see that I was visibly upset. He did not try to help. And he charged me full price. I don't mind paying any amount for something that I WANT. But to leave and cry in my car, to have spent 6 full hours out of my day and then to not feel like they were concerned that I did not like my hair..that was really what got me. I will attach the photo of what I asked for, the orange color that they were going to let me leave with, the final product and the receipt (I did tip her $120 because I felt bad that she had to work...that was not a reflection of the "well done" job she had done..it was just the right thing to do). read more

I will definitely be returning... read more

Very satisfied with my experience at Volume Salon. Dena is an all around amazing person and hair stylist. Not only was she so friendly and personable, she also went out of her way to show me exactly how to curl and style my hair at home. I am not an avid reschedule kind of person, but I was quick to book another appointment at volume salon. read more

Spent $250 for a partial painting and cut with Sarah. Straightened my hair and was unhappy with the results. Went back so she could do the bottom part of my v layered hair cut. Didn't really fix much and was charged for the product. So this is what I got for $300 from a stylist with 10 years experience! read more

Just recently moved here and found Sarah at Volume Salon on yelp. Sarah was also new to Charlotte! She did such a great job bleaching. I've since gone back for 3 touch ups and every time I love my hair. I've been bleaching my hair for a couple of years and never had someone do as good of a job as Sarah! She is awesome and efficient! read more

Get an appointment at Volume for some EXCELLENT hair care! I've been through a few stylist here before ending up with co-owner Maria. I'm so glad I've stuck through the stylist cycling! Maria works miracles on my hair. We've found the perfect high-light/low-light combination that leaves me feeling great each time I leave the salon. She listens and really creates a great cut and color that has me leaving the salon glowing. I love that the salon keep all of your info (color, cut, etc) on file - believe me it's such a luxury if you've never been to a salon before that does this. Important to share - please don't forget that the policy is tips may be paid in cash only. In case you forget, there's a CVS around the corner with a SunTrust Bank ATM (complete with friendly non-SunTrust customer ATM fee) in it. CVS used to offer cash back, but I think they've done away with that (thanks a lot Panther's tailgaters). All the girls at the salon are so sweet. They're always eager to offer a magazine or glass of wine and can always find that perfect balance of personal vs. general chit chat. Oh, and the shampoo.... perfection!! So relaxing. I've overheard so many customers mention they almost fell asleep during the shampoo. Keep doing what you're doing ladies of Volume salon! read more

I went to Volume Salon after months of dragging my feet to find a new stylist. I made an appointment with co-owner Maria. The receptionist, Amber, was very polite on the phone and promptly greeted me when I came in. She offered me a drink and made sure I was comfortable. Maria came to get me from the waiting area right on time and did a consultation about what I want and what would be good for my hair. I was slightly disappointed that she didn't recommend anything new and fun, she just said she liked my current haircut and would stick with that. The shampoo was fantastic and the haircut went well. Once again, it was nothing exciting; it was what I came in with, just a little shorter. The best part of this salon is the thought that was put into the customer experience. Drinks are offered to you throughout your appointment, the place is spotless, and a couple days later, Amber called to make sure I still liked my haircut. My favorite part was at the end when Maria gave me a sheet listing all the products she used on my hair plus I got a free sample of some of the product! Overall, I had a pretty good experience and I'll probably be returning soon. read more

After reading all of the reviews, I was super excited to try Volume--I had just moved here from Boston, was having a hard time deciding on a salon and Ill admit it, their website looked great--but I must say this was one of the first times Yelp has led me wrong. Ok haircut. Ok salon. Kind of dirty. When I first called, I asked to have their most senior stylist. I was told they only have 2 levels (1 Junior stylist, or the 2 owners.) Only having 3 stylists seemed odd, but trusting the reviews on Yelp, I moved forward and booked an appt with one of the owners. During my appt I was the only person in the salon, other than the receptionist and stylist, which was also a little odd. In my opinion, I honestly couldn't tell I got a hair cut. I also asked for my bangs to be trimmed in the style they were already in, just shorten them up a bit. It took me maybe 4 tries of her cutting and me trying to explain what I wanted, before I just gave in and opted to just eave them as is, or else risk being butchered. Overall, everyone WAS super friendly. My experience in the salon was great. I just wasn't happy with the cut and ultimately thats what will make me a client. read more

I've been to volume twice now to see Devan, and I'm so obsessed. I've been in Charlotte for 7 years and haven't been able to find someone I like. My friend recommended volume and I will never go anywhere else. The previous person I used did these chunky highlights and i asked her to make them smaller so it would look more natural and grow out better- she said the only way to make it look more natural was to do more foils and pack them in.. well that's not true because Devan does baby lights and she's so good. I honestly feel a little guilty because she's so good at baby lights that I will only need to get my hair foiled every 3-6 months because it grows out so beautifully. Also the prices here are super reasonable... for the work that you get it's a steal. read more

It is positively frightening for a woman (or a guy as well I suppose) to change their stylist. When my stylist moved out of state I tried out Volume upon the recommendation from a friend and I will never go anywhere else for a haircut! Dena is fantastic, she really takes note of the style that you are hoping to achieve, makes great recommendations and is just really sweet in general. I highly recommend Volume for their haircare. I've also had a great eyebrow wax here, too! The prices are moderate for the Uptown area - hey, it's worth paying a bit more for a great cut! **Update: As of May 2010, tips are cash only! read more

Received a cut and hair painting from Sarah and I love it. She even came in on her day off to accommodate my schedule! The salon has a nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend! read more

Volume Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I found Volume Salon via Yelp and because of other reviews knew to ask for Maria. I gotta say it... She's AMAZING! I travel for work and am weary of getting my haircut on the road. I got a full color, partial highlights and a haircut and I'm ECSTATIC with all three. She asked a lot of questions to absolutely make sure I was happy. She is very personable and easy to chat with (I don't usually talk much while at the salon) and she made sure that I walked out that door happy. I wish she could travel everywhere with me! Not like I needed it, but just to prove that I got a great hair style? About ten minutes I walked out the door I got complimented on my hair from a complete stranger. Go see Maria and you most DEFINITELY will not be disappointed! read more

I'd gone to the same stylist for years and I was really anxious and hesitant when it came to finding a new one, since I moved. My hair is, I think, very difficult to cut properly. It's thick and coarse and is wavy and just all over the place. I usually try a new stylist out requesting just a trim and I see how that goes. It usually goes badly. On top of that, I tend to dislike the idle and, let's face it, fake chatter that goes on in salons. I'm a horrible and picky person, okay??? I own it. I read the reviews for Volume and I really liked the photos of haircuts they had on the website. I made an appointment with Emily, knowing I wanted to go for something drastic this time. I wanted to chop 7 or so inches off my hair. I was feeling bold. Making the appointment was easy. I wasn't able to specify which stylist I wanted, but I went off of the price of the appointment and the stylist price listed on the website. Emily was awesome. I didn't know what style I wanted exactly, but I told her how my hair tends to behave, what my relevant habits were, and things like "I love my flat iron, but I don't like my round face... or my round other things.." She knew exactly what I meant in each case and we took a few quick minutes to flip through some magazines. I told her what I liked and didn't like, and together we created a look. It was awesome. It was definitely a great experience at Volume and I highly recommend Emily's expertise and skill! read more

Fabulous experience! Laura was kind and easy to talk to. She cut my hair exactly how I asked her and did not cut corners when styling my hair at the end. She washed, cut, and styled my thick & long hair in one hour for $45! I usually pay $60 + tip to get my haircut and styled wavy. Due to the length and thickness of my hair, stylists usually just put a mouse in my hair and blow dry it 75% dry. Not Laura! She took her time to blow-dry my hair completely and flat iron it. What a treat!!! read more

I go to Mackenzie and she is hands down the best hair stylist I have ever had in my life. My hair has never been healthier!!! The salon is super clean, the offer my favorite products as well as products that are inexpensive and they don't push you to buy them. I absolutely love this salon! read more

Bre at Volume is the BEST!! I went in to have a color correction because of a botched job at a different salon...my hair now looks amazing!!! 10 stars to Bre and Volume Salon!!!!! read more

I went to this salon based on several recommendations. It had been months since I had my haircut and man did I need it! I was with Natalie and she was great! Asked lots of questions, made suggestions and was also an equal amount of chatty. She didnt try to push product which is great because that is always a weird moment. I will be going in a few weeks to have some new color and highlights done. I would recommend them for sure. read more

I don't know if I can say much that hasn't already been said. Volume is fantastic. I typically see Dena, and she always cuts my hair perfectly. I've also had Emily cut me a couple of times when Dena was out, and she does just as great of a job. Everyone is super nice and welcoming, and Amber always offers a drink when people first come in. She even laughs when I use the same "Whiskey sour, please" joke over and over again - I appreciate her humoring me (ha). Anyway, go there - you'll be glad you did. read more

before i dig into why i'm giving volume salon a 3 star rating, i want to say that my stylist was very experienced and did my haircut very well. it's just not what i wanted at all. i don't think i've cried this much over a haircut ever. this is not her fault, in fact i didn't even tell her i didn't like it, so that's really on me. i'm giving it a 3 because i did not feel welcome in there at all and definitely started to feel rushed by my stylist towards the end, especially when she was pulling my head and yanking my hair back and forth when blowing my hair out. it's way shorter than i was expecting (she cut probably 3 - 4 inches off when i was only looking for a trim), left me with a blunt cut, and the colour is much much much darker than i wanted. i'm writing this review before i jump in the shower to try to home-remedy my much too dark hair. she didn't spend much time asking me what i was looking for, which might be why i'm so upset with this experience, i dunno. read more

Worst hair cut I've ever received. I went to Volume Salon to get my hair cut on June 1st. Bridget OGorman was the stylist that cut my hair. All I needed was a simple man cut and asked for a hard part. After my haircut my wife and friend asked why the back of my head wasn't blended, upon further inspection in mirror indeed NO blending and the lines were not even straight. So I went back into Volume and asked Bridget to fix the blending which she agreed to. I thought she would of used a buzzer but instead used a scissor. Which by using the scissors made my whole sides and back look choppy. So I recommend to the "professional" to maybe try the buzzer. She then used a buzzer to try to fix the choppy unblended sides and back but also proceeded to cut more hair off top which looked fine already and wasn't asked for. I hurried her to stop and said it looked good as I didn't want her touching my hair or head anymore. I ended up going to another stylist somewhere else to fix this mess Bridget made. So in the end I paid Volume "Bridget" $40 for a shit job. Would never recommend Bridget or Volume and am very upset with the service provided. read more

Great salon! Susan is awesome! She has been doing my hair almost 15 years. I drive 5 1/2 hours to see her now that she is in charlotte. I'm a hairstylist also and she's the only one I trust with my hair. Great bunch of stylist! read more

I know judging by my profile pic you might ask herself why write a review on a Salon, but that's not really me. Volume is the only people that I will let cut my mop, and they do it so well. Highly recommend them. read more

Thanks for the recommendation, Nicole W! So far, so good and with each visit Dena is getting to know my hair better and better, which makes me more confident and less nervous. I'm always nervous about going to a new stylist (historically written in almost every salon review), but it's true, if you like someone's hair, ask where she gets it done. Dena spent time asking about my hair and listening to what I like. Don't be afraid to bring in photos of what you want. Even after the first time I got my haircut, it wasn't exactly what I wanted...so Dena had me come back in for more shaping. She was happy to do it and she and her staff didn't make me feel badly at all. I went in for another cut and color and this time the end result was spot on! It takes a while to get into a groove with a new stylist; we're getting into a groove and I'm happy with the results so far. Recommend your friends and both of you get $10 off your appointment. Score! They also offer massages and eyelash extensions. Staff is friendly and they offer you beverages for the overall pampering experience. They accept credit cards for service, but cash only for tip. You can meter park on the street or in a lot or they offer free parking around the corner in a garage (limited to 4 spaces). If your appointment is on the weekend, no worries to park it on the street near the entrance. read more
