I went to see Kelly at Expressions today and am so happy I went there! One of my co-workers…read morereferred me to him and I have to thank her on Monday. It's a cute, little place with about six stylist stations tucked behind a bank off Sharon Amity right near Cotswold. I was in and out in less than 2 hours (if you have short hair, be happy since that is record time given the amount of hair I have). I didn't go in with a picture of the color or cut I was looking for so I just explained to him what look I was going for and he got it dead on! Very very very reasonable prices (cannot stress that enough) and I believe they take cash or check only since each stylist rents out a space there. Quick, friendly service and work along with current gossip magazines =me happy.

Mary Moore has the Magic touch!…read more Mary owned a successful salon in Vermont before she moved south to Charlotte, worked in a few salons and finally opened one of her own. I've pretty much been a client from the start. Most recently, I asked Mary to cut my thick wavy hair into a chic short style. That was last summer. I get compliments on my hair all the time, yesterday from a waitress in Matthews, today from a professional financial planner. I've found less expensive salons, but never quite come out with the wow I get from Monte Bella Salon.

The work that Ella and her stylists do is unmatched.

Now being in Charlotte I could never imagine going anywhere else besides Salon Eight Ellaven!!!

I have been a client of one of the owners at @Meraki Salon seeing Caroline for many many years as…read moremy stylist following her when she was in an individual suite (a.k.a rent a room) while she was making her way as a small business owner and building her Salon at Merakai. I met her at https://antonaccisalon.com in which she also did my highlights. I followed her to each salon she moved to as I was a loyal client. I then moved out of the Charlotte area in 2019. I have since come back presently and now the salon receptionist rudely left a message saying "since I have not been back since 2019", and Caroline was not taking new clients that I would have to see someone else and Caroline would not accommodate me. I was a loyal client for many years and this is how I am treated?! Where is her loyalty? I guess she is burnt out already. Disrespectful, snooty and I will go to see someone else that is more professional since loyalty is a one way street and not reciprocated. I will take my business to antonaccisalon.

I hate to give a three star review because I know how important public opinion is to small…read morebusinesses. I went to the salon just about two months ago in June for a keratin treatment. Overall the service was lovely. Winnie seemed very experienced, and even when there was a miscommunication over the inclusion of a trim, they found a way to fit me in. I was initially told the treatment would start at $500, which is something I'm accustomed to, and left the salon paying over $700. Hair for black women is our form of expression, so a treatment that would help with manageability overrides initial concerns for price. Where I started having issues, was when I left the salon. Granted it was a hot day in June, but by the time I got home, my hair needed to be rest straightened showing frizziness and fraying. If you know anything about keratin treatments, the treatment does not activate unless your hair gets to a certain temperature and is left bone straight for multiple days on end. I of course, followed the instructions and left my hair untouched for multiple days, surpassing the initial three day period. As soon as I went for my first wash, I knew there was something different about this treatment. For someone who has been getting keratin treatments for around 10 years, I have an expectation of what it does to my hair texture, and immediately noticed it felt like I had already been washing my hair for a month. Weeks go by, and the issue progresses. A treatment like this typically lasts me around 5 months, and by the end of month one, I was starting to feel due for ANOTHER treatment. Some of these concerns are difficult to put into words, and I understand majority of Meraki's customers do not have ethnic hair, but paying over $700 for a treatment and not having the results I expected has been frustrating. There's areas that seem as if they were left unsaturated, and my roots have kinky curls that are not resemblant of regrowth in just a 2 month period. I hate that I've shared a review this far after my experience, but my main complaint is on logevity...and I've only been able to determine that in the aftermath. I'm not sure if the keratin is a weaker grade than the one I'm used to or it was an issue with saturation, but i don't see myself going back for another treatment, especially at that price.

Benny wasn't available and I had Bonnie. She was lovely, understood what I wanted, gave her own advice and I'm very happy with the result.

The next visit will include a redo of hi and low lights and I am confident Bonnie will do a great job The other ladies i saw coming out of the salon looked amazing! As MJA said, Reasonable prices, good atmosphere and conveniently located ( opposite the East/West station, with parking available).
