She delivered on everything I asked for and was very clear in the questions she asked to determine my final look. I didn't realize there was a bar inside until I got there and would consider booking an appointment with a friend or even bringing my spouse along next time. Pricing was on par with what I am used to spending on a cut and color. Thanks for the perfect chop I needed for the summer!

I have been a loyal client of your salon for years, but my recent experience has left me extremely…read moredisappointed. On September 25, 2025, I received an email reminding me of my appointment scheduled for September 27, 2025. Immediately after receiving this email, I called the salon to cancel my appointment since there was no option to do so through the email itself. I called three times without an answer and ultimately left a voicemail requesting cancellation. Despite this, I received an email today stating that my card on file would be charged for missing the appointment. I promptly called your salon to clarify the situation and explained that I had canceled by voicemail on September 25. The person who answered the phone was dismissive, and when I spoke with the owner, I was made to feel as though the responsibility fell on me for not replying to the email or a text message. To clarify: I do not receive text messages from your salon. I did not reply to the email because I had already called and left a voicemail. It is your responsibility to check and respond to client voicemails. Additionally, I called today at 11:29 a.m. and was told I would receive a call back within 30 minutes. That call never came. This lack of professionalism is unacceptable. I respectfully request a full refund of the cancellation charge. I hope you will honor this request and reconsider how communication and customer service are handled in the future.

I'm giving 2 stars because the 1st cut I had from Carly was great. The 2nd left A LOT to be…read moredesired. The 1st time I went, I came in with my hair straightened and Carly decided to do a dry cut (since it was straight) and then wash and style. The 2nd time I went, Carly decided to wash before the cut/style and, while I couldn't tell initially after styling, my hair was terribly uneven when I left. Like in a serious way - pictures attached. I will say that when I texted Carly a photo, she confirmed that was not her intention and offered to try to correct the error. I do appreciate this. I went back in and she was able to "even" it out as best she could given the condition. It wasn't ideal, but I get it. Mistakes happen. I'm now considering going back for a 3rd go, but I am a bit hesitant given my experience. I will update my review if I do return.

I was actually really happy to do this because it gave me a good idea of what to expect for my appointment and what the overall vibe of the salon was . Carly took a look at all of my pictures of the type of hair that i liked , and booked my appointment for a few weeks out . She gave me a cost estimate at the consultation which i am really grateful for because I've experienced "sticker shock " before at hair appointments , expecting to pay one thing and getting a much higher bill at the end of the service . I will say that the prices listed on the website are very much " starting prices " . My hair service ended up being a corrective color and did take several hours , however Carly explained to me that i will be able to go for several months in between my highlighting services so in my opinion, it was well worth the money and time ! Also , my hair looked better than i could have ever imagined , even better than the pictures i showed !

The Makeup Addict Studios is JUST that fantastic. It's certainly a noteworthy, professional make up studio worth mentioning. The Makeup Addict Studio, owned and operated by Ambria Cotten, is a cutting edge makeup studio in a class of its own. I have had the privilege of visiting the studio numerous times and will continue to visit. When you walk in, you are greeted with a warm smile and excellent hospitality. This is not just a makeup studio - this is an experience. As one in the music industry, it is of the utmost importance that my makeup is professional and looks good. Ambria is very diverse in her approach, being able to cater to my desire for a dramatic look right down to a natural appearance. I can count on her to give me the look that caters well to my needs. She uses quality products and is sure to ask the right questions about my skin type to ensure the best fit for the look we're going for. When you've got a good thing going, you want to stick with it. For this cause, I will continue to frequent and refer my friends and family to this studio. The level of professionalism provided is comparable to none. Any questions that I may have, she is quick to respond. I've also had the opportunity to see students trained under her tutelage and the level of care that she instructs shows forth her passion for makeup artistry and to see her students progress. This company has an office in both Raleigh and Charlotte. It grieved my heart to see some of the less than tasteful reviews of the Charlotte office. What a shock! My heart goes out to the very few who experienced challenges there. All of my experiences in the Raleigh office has been nothing short of stellar, professional, and unique. I am very careful about the integrity of my associations (especially those working on my face or hair). Because I had frequented the studio numerous times, I felt it necessary to inquire. After all, client statistical trends of repeat business holds true; if there's an issue, people will not return to patronize that business. If I knew something was off, I would no longer want to visit. Integrity is everything! I reached out to the owner to inquire. It was brought to my attention that the moment the challenges in the Charlotte office became known, immediate actions were taken to rectify the situation. This included the swift removal of the previous office manager mentioned in one of the previous posts. It's certainly no desire of mine for anyone to be removed, however, business is business. From my experience, this studio does everything that it can possibly do to cater to the needs of its clients. I am very proud of the work this studio produces and the way it makes me feel. Just to share how amazing this studio is, I was doing a Periscope video about a month ago. I made a trip to Atlanta a few weekends ago, and someone mentioned to me how much they loved my makeup and wanted to have MY NORTH CAROLINIAN makeup artist do their makeup. She's in Atlanta... The last time I checked, Atlanta does NOT have a shortage in makeup artists. The quality provided by the MakeUp Addict Studio touched someone states away who would want to work with my makeup artist. That speaks volumes!!! It is my desire that this posting is as clear and helpful as it could possibly be. I will continue visiting this studio. I leave feeling pretty and every woman deserves this.I don't put my name or endorsement behind everyone and everything, but I would HIGHLY recommend this studio.

Although it was still tough to find street parking, it wasn't horrible. I ended up parking a block away behind the Google Fiber building in a parking deck. Once you walk the block to the studio, it's right across from Snoopy's. Their studio is the first one when you walk into the Carter building. Melissa S. (the owner & creator of Front Row Cosmetics) is so amazing and full of life! Everytime I see her, she greats you with a huge smile and she starts talking with you like she's known you for years.

The final result looked nothing like what we discussed. The cut was uneven, the styling was sloppy, and I left genuinely upset. When I brought up my concerns, the stylist became defensive instead of trying to fix the problem. For how much I paid, this level of service is unacceptable. To make things worse, I overheard multiple stylists talking badly about another coworker and using foul language. It created an uncomfortable, unprofessional, and negative atmosphere. This is not the kind of environment anyone wants to sit in for hours. Overall, this was a complete waste of time and money. I would not recommend this salon to anyone.
