After a few visits to Culture Hair Studio and several excellent hair cuts that made be look better than I deserve, I am both a fan and a loyal customer of Megan, but I know that I could book with anyone there and I would be served well and walk out looking as good as I possible could. If you are having difficulty finding the right salon, give Culture Hair Studio a visit! read more

I saw a woman coming out of the Salon and asked who had cut her hair, she said Alicia, so I booked a haircut with her. Alicia, she is a very skilled hairdresser, and nice as can be. A wonderful Salon, and super nice people working there. I'd recommend them all. I've cut hair since the 1970s, and would drive all the way to Beverly Hills for my haircut, I'm so happy to say I won't have to do that anymore, Alicia is fantastic and I'm so happy to have found her.

Culture Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

It's always hard to find a salon when moving to a new area and I'm so glad I found Culture! I've seen Kylie a handful of times and have always been impressed with my entire experience. I can't speak to the other stylists from experience but everyone has a high level of professionalism and other customers appear happy when they come in and out. I highly recommend Culture! read more

I have never had anything like this happen to me in my life. The front desk lady cut me off while I was asking how much the total of my bill was and what the charges were to sign in another client. She told me I could not see the charges until after I paid (apparently they are listed online which I wasn't told but they have no way to tell you charges when you check out). I got a call from the manager later who I believed would apologize for the confusion and rudeness of the employee. I didn't call back because I wasn't thrilled with how I was treated. I just tried to make a new appointment months later, and I was told I was "more rude than I thought"(?) and would no longer be able to get my hair cut there. I think they should review the politeness of their front desk staff who had me wait for 5 minutes after I arrived to check me in as they were on a phone call. I feel they were incredibly unfair and rude to me. read more

Best haircut & color of my entire life - and I am super particular about my hair & have a ton of it. I would absolutely recommend Kylie & this salon. The adorable vibe of the salon doesn't hurt either! read more

I absolutely love this hair studio! Sam was the sweetest, most entertaining, caring, and detail oriented hair stylist I've ever worked with. The hair studio is absolutely beautiful and refreshments are offered upon arrival. read more

I had been growing out my hair for 5 years for a donation and came here to take the plunge and cut it. Josh was so patient and helpful by sitting down with me before the cut to see what I wanted and come up with a plan together. He was always making sure I was comfortable with the changes, which is really nice to have when you're going from hip length to shoulder length hair! I fell in love with the end product so much I haven't stopped going to get my hair cut here. read more

Dani nailed platinum blonde for me and is doing great with the upkeep! I'm so proud of how my hair looks. Love the salon.

Michelle was so awesome & really did a wonderful job helping my hair look exactly how I wanted it:) thank you!! read more

After years of trying to find a hair stylist who really understands how to cut my hair texture just so - I was SO grateful to find Chanell Mitchell at Culture this week! I'm thrilled with her cut, and her thoughtful way of hearing me through my "hairstory." She also advised on a subtle color gloss that was exactly the little oomph my hair needed. She is a gem, and so is this salon! read more

I am always excited to visit Wisdom! She has cut, colored, and styled my hair for almost a year now and I continue to tell everyone how wonderful she is. My hair is naturally curly but in the cooler months I wear it straight more often and Wisdom has cut my hair for both straight and for my curls. She has brought out a new life to my curls taking out weight and allowing them to really show off their best side (if you have curls you know there is no controlling them). She listens to what I want, looks at pictures I like and gives suggestions. She has told me if something does not work and I am glad! I want someone who will tell me if something is not going to work. Thank you for making me love my hair! read more

Wisdom Campbell DESTROYED my hair. She was so unprofessional (and I think she had been drinking) the whole time. I went in for some simple highlights and trim ends and I left with my hair fried off and wayyy shorter then I wanted. :( literally cried on my way home. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Their stylists and colorists are all highly skilled. Great salon and plenty of parking near salon in downtown. All in all, will be going back! Cut is on trend! read more

I am in love with this salon! All of the workers are so welcoming, friendly, and everyone including the salon gives off a hipster vibe. Kevin is the only person I trust with my hair. He always does a beautiful job with color and cut. I have black hair, and it's hard to find someone that can color dark hair well, and Kevin does a phenomenal job in doing so. His personality and energy is always happy, positive, and he is very fun and down to earth. Kevin is also very good at explaining everything that he's about to do so that you know whats happening. I look forward to our appointments and time goes by so quickly with him. A couple of perks of this salon is that they offer you water, coffee, and red or white wine. Also, they provide free parking on the weekends and the lot is right across the street! You will have to ask about the weekday, I'm not sure how it is then because I've only gone on the weekend. The music,art work, beams, and brick walls creates a hipster atmosphere. And again, all of the employees are awesome. In all, this salon is so fun and cute and Kevin is definitely my go to for cut and color. read more

It can be hard to find a new stylist when you move to an area and don't know anyone to ask recommendations from- so Please trust me when I say you will not regret booking with Angela Goldman! I have been going to Angela since I moved to the area in 2011 and I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair! Sometimes stylists are better at cuts than color, but Angela is the full package- making magic happen with my lovely red color and long thick/course hair. She is a master at knowing what shape works best with your face or you can bring in photos and she will cultivate art for you. Her popularity precedes her and it is worth the wait to score a spot on her schedule! read more

I had really bad bands from a really poor bleach job and I came here for emergency color correction from Wisdom. She got all the brassiness out of my hair and gave me this beautiful dimensional purple/blue look that should fade to silver in a few weeks. She's great and her prices are actually a steal. Will be coming here for all my color jobs instead of risking a disaster at home now! read more

Culture Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Everyone is so incredibly welcoming and attentive and treats you like a special guest! I absolutely love how the stylists literally sit down across from you and intently listen and talk through what you're wanting to achieve - I didn't feel rushed or like I was being a nuisance, and I've never felt so calm going into a big hair change as I did today. I have medium/light brown hair and I was going to attempt to lighten it again - even after countless promises to myself not to do it ever again due to the disappointment and/or damage it caused. I showed her a ton of pictures starting with what I didn't want and what I hoped to achieve. She truly understood exactly what I envisioned, which was ultimately a very natural Balayage. No one has ever achieved lightening my hair to perfection. Ever. And Danielle did the first time ever meeting me. Worth every penny. I can't believe I've found her! read more

This salon will require a small deposit to book which is fine but when my appointment was cancelled because my stylist came down sick, they offered to switch me to another stylist available about an hour later. Totally understandable situation but when I asked if they would honor the same rate (original rate was $5 less) they refused to do so. I didn't think it was much to ask considering it wasn't my choice to change and it caused an inconvenience with my schedule but the manager said he was unable to accommodate. I'm sure there's plenty that goes into those restraints but the inflexibility after I was being more than understanding and moving around my schedule was really disappointing. Just overall bad business practices and I recommend you be aware when booking here. read more

As always, an exceptional experience. I trust Katie to make changes, big and small, and know she will create the perfect cut and color. She takes time and gives undivided attention and makes you feel you are the only client! The entire staff is professional and welcoming and make it a comfortable place to spend time. read more

I came with with an idea of what I thought I had wanted...but Wisdom took the time to really talk with me and help find a style that matched my shape and lifestyle. The atmosphere is lovely and the product lines they use are really very nice. read more

Amanda was amazing! I have short hair and hadn't been happy with other studios I'd been to, but she brought life back to my hair. She took her time and was completely open to adding additional touches at the end. This was also during COVID so we were both able to wear masks, and she was very careful about sanitizing. Couldn't be happier! The studio itself also does a great job of following COVID precautions. read more

Culture Hair Salon is amazing! Wonderful atmosphere! I have super short hair and I am fussy-Chanell is fantastic at short hair! read more

Katie the owner and her staff are always warm and welcoming. They take time to listen to your hair needs and to make sure you look your best. They use great Oribe products that make your hair feel and stay healthy! I highly recommended Katie and her staff! read more

This salon is amazing! I've had my hair cut and colored there three times since they opened and have only had wonderful experiences. The stylists are very professional and up-to-date with the latest styles. They work with you on what you want and help make you feel good. They are more than just a salon, they are a creative studio with an artistic flare. read more

I will preface by saying that I never do these but my service was so good that I wanted to make sure the salon knew about it. When I first walked in, I was offered coffee (yay). The man at the front desk was warm and personable. The first thing that I noticed about Wisdom was that she was interested in getting to know me. She sat down next to me and we had an actual non hair related conversation. There was never a time where I felt uncomfortable or intimidated. Something that I have always felt at other "cool girl salons". She listened to my concerns, she told me about each product that she used but never made me feel that "I have to buy this now". My hair looks awesome! I can tell this is a salon that values it's customers and wants to be known for more than just doing good hair. I cannot wait to be back! read more

I'm in town from Houston and needed a fresh color and cut. Luckily Angela had a cancellation and now my hair looks awesome! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The salon is beautifully designed. Angela was so fun and uplifting. I love my color and it's one of the best haircuts I have had in a long time! Thank you so much! read more

Culture Hair Studio - Ignore the lack of make-up and tiredness!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I always enjoy my time at Culture. I've been going to Angela for years and their whole team is amazing.

First class experience always! Neck warmers, wine pairing flights, hot tea, incredible talent, kindness and authenticity!

Having gone to the same stylist for nearly a decade, I was hesitant to find someone new when I relocated to the area. I lucked into that someone being Danielle and have been going to her for over a year now for both my cut and color. She's funny, professional, and seriously talented. I recently got my hair done in Chicago for a wedding, and the stylist complimented my colorist for the great balayage. You know she's good if she's getting compliments from other stylists! Culture's atmosphere is warm and inviting, and you can tell the stylists genuinely have fun at work. Just watch out for the Oribe products - they are seriously addicting! read more

Absolutely adored Allie, she was so nice and friendly. I often leave hair salons feeling good then a few days later kinda blah all over again. I got my hair done on Tuesday and I'm still in absolute love with my hair! Allie really listened to what I wanted done and why and she did a spectacular job! read more

Had an exceptional all-round experience at this new salon. I was greeted with the option of wine or coffee. The coffee was on point! I relaxed for a few minutes to some very chilled music as I looked out the large windows at the Durham streetscape. Then Katie walked me through her classy industrial space - with i-beams, pipes and aged brick walls lined with local art. She washes my hair with a nice smelling Oribe product and then proceeded to turn me from looking like a Donald Trump looking dad of 3 children under 5 to Christian Slater at the top of his game! ;) We had a very genuine and easy going conversation, and I was on my way with a slick pompadour cut. read more

My longest committed relationship continues, now at Culture Hair, with the amazingly talented and passionate Angela Goldman. What a great space, situated in the midst of downtown Durham, near Everyday Magic and Bull City Burgers. I had no issue getting on street parking this Saturday afternoon, and was warmly welcomed (by name!) by Danielle at reception. I graciously accepted the offer for a glass of vino. The vibe was awesome, everyone was friendly, bubbly and nodding to the feelgood music... Angela renewed me with her magical touch as always - I'm so excited she's found a new home! I'll most certainly be back!!!! Highly recommend read more

Wisdom did a great job asking questions to figure out the best color and cut for my hair without making me feel like I had to be the expert on my own style. I appreciated hearing her explain what she was doing as she went along. I was really pleased with the outcome and would love to come back! read more

I had a wash, blow out and style with hot tool today. I am very pleased with the style- beachy wave. Katie p is very easy to talk to and has a very relaxed personality- chats when you want to and ok with quiet too. She also didn't take forever while managing to do the style I wanted. I've been to the studio before and think it's a lovely space. Plenty of metered parking available. I will return and will recommend her to others. Really, all of the stylists there are talented read more

Angela is amazing! Super personable, genuine, sweet, great listener, awesome stylist and colorist! Highly, highly recommend!

A-maz-ing! I love everything about this place. You instantly feel happy just being there. Maybe it's the great tea or wine you are offered upon entering or the way you know everyone there is on top of their game. Not sure, but it's the best place to go. It's a haircut, a mini spa and therapy all rolled into one. read more

I would follow Danielle to the end of the earth but luckily I got to follow her to Culture Hair which is a great new salon in downtown Durham. The staff is always incredibly welcoming and the studio space has the wonderful loft feeling that I love about durham. I would say you probably couldn't go wrong with any of the stylists here but if you are lucky enough to see Danielle you are in for a treat. Not only is she a great person but she is crazy talented! Whenever I am unsure of what to do - her suggestions are perfection. If I want to do something that might not turn out as good as it looks in my mind - she is realistic about whether or not it will look good on me but always comes up with something even better! So glad I found this place and Danielle! read more

This was my first time to Culture and I got a haircut by Wisdom. I just moved to the area and had been going to same hairdresser for years and I loved her. When I went to Culture I was hoping for the best. I didn't expect to love it as much as my previous hairdresser but I was wrong! Wisdom did an awesome job!! She asked a lot of questions about how much time and effort I put into my hair and based my cut around what was going to manageable for me. My hair looked amazing when I left the salon and four days later I am really loving it! I am able to easily style it straight or wavy which was important to me. Also, when I called to make the appointment the man that answered was super friendly and helpful. He told me who was available and was very straightforward with what the cost of a cut would be with each stylist. I would highly recommend this salon and Wisdom! Can't wait to go back for some color next time!! Jaime read more

Amazing! Ali is so sweet and I am in love with my hair! The color is perfect and cut is exactly what I wanted. The salon is inviting and relaxing; the eucalyptus face mask- unbelievable! I am from out of state but will be back and forth and will definitely try to make it back! read more
