    Hair now

    Ante is the only one I'd have braiding my hair. She is consultative and has been part of the team instrumental for the health/length of my hair! I will continue to highly recommend her!

    After a long braids hiatus decided to finally get some again. Did a google search and found this shop and made an appointment. So glad I did because Anta is absolutely fabulous. Got the mohawk braids I saw in the pics on here and she installed them in about 5 1/2 hrs. She asked if I wanted some color thrown in and showed me all the colors she had in stock. I'm so glad she offered because I hadn't even thought about color! Shop is clean and you can watch tv while she braids which helps. She was very professional and nice and kept asking if I was ok. Love LOVE my hair and have been getting so many compliments. The braids are tight and well installed, but not too tight where my scalp feels like its on fire for a couple of days like it has been in other braid shops. She does excellent work and I will def be back!! Thanks Anta!!

    Ms.Anta is nothing short of wonderful. Very obvious that she is an expert at what she does. There are few things that allow her to stand out from the rest. A lot of the African braiders just want to get you in and out of the door. She took the time to do a consultation and is very concerned with the care of the hair. She takes the time to give a lot of instructions on the care of the braids and your hair. I'm on week number 3, have not lost any braids, and it looks as if I just left the salon. She has a delightful personality. This was my first hairstyle with her and I will definitely be returning. Micro braids in six hours... and though she caught ALL my edges, the braids weren't so tight that I cried for days like with others.

Her attention to detail and commitment to going above and beyond are rare to find. Yessenia always takes the time to listen, and somehow brings to life exactly what I envision -- even when my explanation barely makes sense! Her artistry is unmatched, and she makes the entire experience a joy. I genuinely look forward to seeing her, not just because I know I'll leave with perfect color and a flawless cut, but because she's such a pleasure to be around. Spending time in her chair feels like a treat in every way. I'm so grateful to have found Yessenia -- she nails it every single time, and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair!

I…read moreactually had to call them twice to get the receptionist to book it correctly since the confirmation text did not match the services verbally requested. Subsequently I received an accurate confirmation text with the time alotted for the services requested. Today at my appointment my stylist told me she didn't have the time to perform the services requested and tried to offer partial service. This was below sub-grade customer service. I have seen this stylist several times. My hair is not new to her. I booked the appointment, they confirmed they had all the time they needed, yet they didn't. I was shocked, exceedingly disappointed, surprised at their lack of an apology. The stylist tried to satisfy me with partial service, which was insulting, and so disrespectful. I now find them untrustworthy. They have lost my business due to this horrible experience. I have compared notes with other Sky Parlor customers and they are leaving the salon as well. I understand why.

I am particularly partial to Taylor as she is my stylist, however, I feel confident telling you to choose any of the stylists at The Legacy Salon with whom you feel comfortable, and book your appointment. Taylor is passionate about hair: everything hair-color, cut, care...you name it. My complimentary consultation with Taylor was the perfect question and answer session for both of us. Her questions are intuitive, and it is clear that she is listening. As it turns out, the color process that I wanted for my hair would have been quite uncomplimentary when considering my hair texture, my skin tone. Taylor explained 'why,' and provided fabulous suggestions that were completely satisfying. I like my natural brown color BUT with grey coming in, I thought I needed to go with grey-blending. I didn't want to-I don't like the way it looks on me. NOT ONE OTHER stylist in NC bothered to tell me (or even knew for that matter), WHY that was not a look for me. Finally, thanks to Taylor, now I knew. She is a plethora of information about hair color. She absolutely knows what she is talking about. Now, let's talk about haircuts! I watched other stylists at Legacy and Taylor recently cut my hair. Taylor and her stylists KNOW how to cut hair! After spending almost 2 years in NC searching for a salon that does superb color and cuts, I have found it. The other places I've been to have no clue what they are doing. I walked into my house after a simple conditioner treatment and blow dry and my family could not believe how healthy my hair looked. A week later after color and cut, my husband remarked that Taylor is without a doubt in first place for my hair. She joins a small but incredibly well regarded group of colorists/stylists: AJA (Bumble & Bumble, NYC), Charles Slider (Thunder Salon, Philadelphia...an ALLURE MAGAZINE BEST STYLIST), and Fatima (Faina Hair Salon, Sterling, VA...A Northern Virginia BEST STYLIST winner multiple times). When I say that Taylor knows her business, believe me. Next, I cannot imagine you will ever walk into a salon that will instantly make you feel as welcome and comfortable as The Legacy Salon. Nick is there behind the reception desk and is also providing services at the shampoo sink, etc., and he is so comfortable to talk to! Literally 5 minutes after meeting Taylor and Nick, I felt like I had known them forever. That alone is such a great experience especially after frequenting salons that have no clue about client relations to say nothing about hair color and cut. All that to say, if while you are sitting in your stylist's chair, and he or she is busy making TikTok videos, giggling like a school girl at another client's expense, and generally ignoring you, head for the door and never go back! I am almost one week post color and cut by Taylor at The Legacy Salon. All of my boxes regarding hair needs are checked. Last but not least, the fees at The Legacy Salon are reasonable, and a breath of fresh air when compared to the exorbitant fees charged at other salons. Additionally, the level of color and cut expertise is absolutely top-notch here. I researched for months and made my appointment, and I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend this salon.
