DON'T get a straightening treatment done here!

by manhattan10013 at Citysearch

I went here almost a year ago (March 2008) for the Grund straightening treatment, which I had had done at another salon a year before and absolutely loved it. Studio K did something TERRIBLY wrong- because my hair broke off at the root immediately after they put one chemical on it. They realized what was happening and stopped the treatment, tried to rinse out whatever chemical they had put on me- but it was too late! Here we are a year later and my hair still looks horrible. They are chunks of it missing from the breakage. Let me re-iterate that I had had this treatment performed correctly at another salon before- so it had to be something that Studio K did wrong. I regret ever stepping foot in that place and will til my hair finally grows back! The owner was very nice about it and sorry- but nothing can undo the damage that was done. I just had to write to protect anyone else from having this experience!

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

best salon in triangle!!

by kspirate at Citysearch

I was a new customer to this salon and from the moment I walked in it was like I was a part of the family. The receptionist, Andrea, greeted me and got me something to drink while I waited. My stylist also greeted me warmly and made some very clever suggestions on what to do with my hair. She analyzed my hair, my lifestyle and my maintinence routine. I loved it!!! My hair has never been so good!!! Thank you Studio K Salon!

• Pros: great staff, great artistic experession
• Cons: none

Prefer Studio K

by Sarahsmile at Citysearch

I have always preferred supporting our small business owners rather than any chain. Let's face it, small businesses is what makes our country! This salon is best known for it's quality work, friendly staff, and great hair. Not a bunch of hype that means nothing. This is a TRUE hair salon in it's actual meaning. They care about hair, only do hair (except eyebrow waxing, etc) and KNOW hair. Going to a salon that offers only hype would scare me. I prefer to go where I know they know hair.

• Pros: Not a chain! Caring individuals.
• Cons: n/a
