R. Caspar Salon is hands down the best around! I moved from Boston to the Raleigh-Durham area a…read morelittle over two years ago and have been looking for a good hair salon ever since. The salon itself is extremely cute with trendy yet simple decor. Dan was my stylist, and he blew my expectations out of the water. I walked in with very overgrown/brassy balayage, and Dan was able to work his magic blending my highlights for a more natural look and cooling down the warm brassy tones with PERFECT "money piece" framing highlights to brighten my face. I asked for before and after pictures (attached) and was completely shocked when I saw the reveal. I cannot believe I ever let my hair look the way it did before visiting Dan. My boyfriend also came with me to get his haircut while my color was setting. He has a very specific hairline that tends to trip up other salons and barber shops, however Dan was very precise and detailed in cutting his hair. It was the best haircut he's ever gotten! My boyfriend even asked for some product recommendations and Dan was able to point him in the right direction with products that he is obsessed with (and I like them more too). Won't be going anywhere else ever.

I really really didn't want to like Hanna. I was mad at her. But I can't help this 5 star rating…read more Here is why. I made an appointment for a Saturday facial with her, about 5 weeks in advance. I work full time and I can't just take off for a body treatment. She called me and spoke with me and confirmed the appointment for that Saturday. It was confirmed. I show up exactly at our agreed time on the Saturday we agreed upon. The salon is locked. It is 97 degrees outside and the sun is blazing on me. I wait in the sun for 10 minutes before I give up and call the salon to leave a message about my appointment. I had childcare that day so I could get my skin some much needed attention. It was all paid for. Then I get a call from Hanna. She started telling me how she called and left multiple messages and texts informing me she had cancelled. I told her I've got nothing from her. Then she tells me how I never confirmed my appointment. I remind her that she personally spoke with me on the phone to confirm it. After she is done defending how it's not much of her fault for ruining my Saturday, I lose all my patience and ask her if she had been contacting a wrong number. She realizes that was a possibility. Offers me an alternate day. I had to accept after a 25 minutes argument that she wasn't going to show up and that was a day completely wrecked. It messed with me because spa days are supposed to be relaxing and this woman clearly just didn't get it. She calls me back in a few minutes confirming she had the wrong number all along, a mistake she made noting it down. So why the 5 stars? I got her microdermabrasion facial today. She was AMAZING. She is very talented, but that's not what got her 5 stars. She made me feel like she genuinely made a mistake, she compensated for my childcare expenses with a service and she went above and beyond to make this a great experience for me. It was impossible to stay mad at her. Even when her errs, she wins. As far as her skills are concerned, she is PERFECT. I'll never look for another aesthetician again.

I used a groupon- hair color, cut, shampoo, style for $38 (you can only use once as a first time…read moreclient). She sends out email and text reminders so you never forget when or where the apt is. Her salon was very pretty and well maintained. She was very nice and professional. My hair is very long and dark, so when I showed her a picture of what I wanted she let me know it would be a little difficult to get my hair as light as I want with it being so dark, but she would do her best to lighten it. My hair turned out so good at first, but the next day I realized the highlights made my roots blonde while the rest of my hair was still dark (and now with brass highlights). The cut was choppy. Just wasn't the look I wanted.

I was a repeat customer of Christine's after using a Groupon for my first visit and being very…read morehappy with my experience and hair. This visit was DRAMATICALLY different! We arrived at the salon a few minutes before our scheduled appointment (my daughter came with me for a cut/highlight as well) and waited for about 20 minutes as Christine finished up with a customer. Once we got in Christine took another break as she went to the bathroom. Then, my daughter's highlighting was applied and next mine. I was VERY clear in my instructions to Christine that I didn't want my highlights blonde...but rather a light brunette (which she accomplished beautifully on my first visit). After she applied my highlighting she excused herself and left my daughter and I to "process" as she left for a while. After she came back (which became obvious by her odor that she went out to have a smoke) she looked at my daughter's hair and then my hair and hurriedly got my daughter to the sink for rinsing. She rushed me to the sink after my daughter was rinsed and as she was washing...informed me that my hair was in fact processed beyond light brunette and would I like a toner applied. Well....how the heck am I supposed to make that judgement with wet hair? I only know that my hair became over-processed (as did my daughter's) because she left the salon to smoke without keeping tabs on what our hair was doing! Once she dried my hair it became very obvious that it was nowhere near brunette and would absolutely need a toner. She did offer to do that service for free (on a different occasion since she had another appointment coming in right after my daughter and I) but since I drove in from 40 minutes away, I told her this would not be possible for me. When tallying up our bill, I mentioned a 30% off offer I had received in an e-mail from her salon but she said that this service was for a different partial highlight/cut treatment and that our services did not qualify. Bottom line....I felt we were under-serviced, ignored, and over-billed for what amounted to a service that I was unhappy with. We will NOT be repeat customers!
