I told him I have two 10-year-old daughters who need their haircut just a cut. He told me he was going to charge them adult prices $65 each. I also need my haircut as well so that's $195 not including tip. Also, I asked him about the woman who had a bald head on the top. He said that she was laughable. I'm not totally sure. I can't take his word for it or her word for it but it seems like something went wrong. I wish the best for this company, but you do not charge children adult prices. That is another huge red flag.

My hairstylist, Chrissy, does an absolutely fabulous job of cut and color. The only slight negative is parking. They have a small side lot which can get filled pretty quickly There is on street parking so if you are going during a peak time, I would allow a few extra minutes to find parking on the street. This small inconvenience, however is totally worth it for this fabulous salon.

She was the only one with recent availability. I think she did an ok job on the cut, which was $110 for long hair, $132 after tip. She styled my hair after the cut which was nice. Unfortunately the experience was very painful for me. My scalp felt like how my teeth would feel after a dentist appmt. Her long nails kept scratching me when she was grabbing my hair and she also pulled on the hair really hard while cutting and blow drying. I've been regretting not saying something to her at the time.

I'd never had a curly cut before, but Ashley talked me thru her process and it turned out great. I was so happy! I just went back after a few months for another cut and the curly cut and Ashley's care definitely helps bring out the curls and waves and it's amazing. Is it a bit expensive? Sort of - but I can go several months without a cut bc of how my hair is, so it works out (vs. having a particular straight hair style that needs more frequent trims). And Ashley's cut grows out nicely so it makes it easy to let my hair grow a bit in between trims.

Aniya has a quaint little suite in the Nobel building just across from Mcklenburg Gardens, which is close to UC's central campus. Truth be told, I'd tried another stylist in the same building and was less than impressed for the same reasons I've never been able to find a stylist in the past: I was on time but she had another person in the chair and had to start 30 minutes late; I had to have my hair already washed and blow dried, all she did was corn-row me, and she charged me $100! She was nice enough, but nobody is going to consistently pay you to take advantage of them. Thankfully, there were other stylists in the building I could try out, and I'm glad I did! Aniya over in Suite 1 is serving up JUST the right services at just the right pace and prices. She's been READY for me when I show up, I've had an amazing shampoo experience on the bowl, she detangles like a pro (no pulling or snags!), and my cornrows stay in place for a month solid. Best of all, she only charged me $50! Now that's a stylist I can get and stay behind. I'm looking forward to trying her silk presses and other services. They're all reasonably priced, and she's a delight to work with: professional, kind, talented, and not trying to make you pay all her bills while having you do half the work. Go check her out!
