Not impressed with hair cut

by NC79 at Citysearch

First time visit at this salon. I had my hair colored, cut, and styled. I was not impressed with the hair cut at all. The way the layers were done, my hair now flips at my shoulders and does not lay flat. This salon has received high ratings, which is why I decided to try it out. However, I was not impressed. I mentioned to my stylist that I flat iron my hair. She let me know that they charge extra for flat ironing and instead put wax in my hair. I haven't been charged extra at other salons for flat ironing after a hair cut, so just be aware. The cut and color was $100. I would have rather paid more and gone else where and gotten a better haircut. This salon is probably acceptable for a kids cut, but if you want a hairstyle, I would recommend going to a different salon. My stylist was Melanie. I will not be returning to this salon.

Excellent Salon

by bbfitz at Citysearch

This salon is always busy! I have been coming now for over 8 years, and never have I had to worry about the end result of my hair. I have a very unusual red tone that I love to have in my hair,get compliments ALL THE TIME and people ask me when ever I go out where I get my color and cut done. I am thrilled with this salon and I always feel like I have been well taken care of. Great staff, great people, excellent work ! Have had many different variations of my hair style and each one has been a HIT!

• Pros: Stable, consistent excellent work
• Cons: can be loud on saturdays!

Interesting Concept....

by janjansmitty at Citysearch

What I like best about this salon is it is not fake. Some salons and their atmospheres create an uneasiness with me. I feel I am either in a place I need to run from the chair before the person pulls out the scissors out of fear, and some I feel like I am being TOLD what is going to happen to my hair rather than paying for a service. I really appreciate the ladies at this salon consult, talk back and forth with me, and then cut when we are totally settled. Same with color. I am very comfortable here, with great friendly atmosphere, excellent and experienced stylists, and true customer satisfaction in mind. This salon is how I personally believe most salons SHOULD be. Great job in having a functioning salon with talent!

• Pros: Honesty, hours, abilities

Frustration is over

by Snippitysnip at Citysearch

So this salon is worth my drive to Durham area. I heard about this salon and wanted to see for myself. I happened to have a appointment with Mandy. I really didn't know who to ask for. The receptionist told me they were all wonderful hair stylists. I agree! This place is BUSY! Wow....and Mandy not only takes plenty of time to talk to me, to consult, to understand my hair, she had awesome suggestions for something new! I am sold. Great salon. It is worth the drive and I will come again and again!

• Pros: Professional
• Cons: I live in Clayton!

GREAT SALON!!

by jwimbler at Citysearch

When I first came to Studio K Salon, my hair was a mess. I needed color help, damage help, and a new haircut to replace the hack job i had gotten at another salon. Thanks to Melissa, I get daily compliments on my hair. She has completely turned my hair around! I LOVE the color and the cut and my hair is healthier than it has ever been!

• Pros: color knowledge, atmosphere, employees..
• Cons: None

Awesome experience!

by rellim at Citysearch

This was the best salon experience that I have ever had. I recently moved to the Durham area from Maryland and had trouble finding a salon in the area. I saw all the great reviews for Stuido K on CitySearch and decided to give it a try and I have never been happier with my hair color and cut! THANK YOU

• Pros: best coloring i've ever had
• Cons: found none.

No doubt about it

by EmilyBobo at Citysearch

Established, consistent, stable, knowledgeable, experienced, there are just some of the words that come to mind with Studio K Salon. They have been around for over 10 years, excellent designers, quality products, and truly do care about your hair health. There are many salon experience I've seen and been a part of in my life where my hair ended up being fried, died, etc., and this is thankfully a salon that heals hair more than anything! Their products ARE amazing, and DO what they say they'll do....by the way, these stylists are awesome in transitioning someone from colored hair to their natural grey! Excellent Job Studio K!,

• Pros: This Company DOES know hair

My hair has never been so good!!! Thank you Studio K Salon!
