A visit to Marigold is time well spent. It's clean lines and peaceful atmosphere makes you want to return. With booking done through individual artists you can find a fit that is right for you. We visited and easily got an appointment a few days out. We were offered beverages and the experience was on point! read more

I cannot begin to explain how difficult it is to find a good hair stylist in Raleigh. One reason for that is because most hair salons focus on coloring and Raleigh haircuts, without generalizing, are boring. It involves stick straight haircuts for girls that tend to blow their hair out with straightening irons. For an asian, who obviously does not need that and instead, needs a lot of volume, layering, and texture, I have gotten so many haircuts at some of Raleigh's "best" salons, including Samuel Cole Salon and Atomic, and have been either sorely disappointed or massacred by stylists that either don't listen or have no clue as to what they are doing. Stephanie at Marigold Parlour listened to my styling needs and gave me what I wanted, while also advising and adding on her own interpretation. The result is a great haircut that I know will grow out nicely. For 50 bucks, half the price of any standard New York salon, this place is a piece of gold in a pile of rocks. I definitely recommend it. read more

Having broken up with my last hair stylist for shotty bangs time and time again I turned to Yelp to find a new salon and stylist. I stumbled upon this salon after reviewing the websites of other salons in the area. This website did not done pictures of models or stock photos but rather showcased the establishment and stylists. I really liked that. When I called to make an appointment I was told that the stylists set their own schedule and was given a stylists telephone number to call and schedule an appointment with them directly. At first I was taken aback by this but after much consideration found this to be a useful and brilliant idea. I called Amanda to make my appointment and was able to talk over what look I was going for before I even came in. Despite what a previous review had stated, Amanda was a dream stylist. I went in to donate 10 inches of hair for Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I took a real gamble for such a total make over with a new stylist but I'm glad I did. She gave me a timeless and flattering cut. Amanda was professional, friendly and a real delight. I found her quite charming and an excellent stylist. I look forward to my return in 8 weeks! read more

I received probably the best haircut I've *ever* received from Jenny McPhie. She took the time to see pics of what I wanted, learn about my styling habits and what I was looking for in terms of maintenance, and got to work. Less than an hour layer, I came away with something even better than what I'd requested... perfect for me as a new mom. Salon is clean, lively and relaxing. I will definitely be back... I've tried two other salons in the Raleigh area, and man, does Marigold Parlour take the cake. read more

I've tried only one other salon in Raleigh, but I've decided to stick with Marigold Parlour. I always feel welcome at this cozy and chic salon. The waiting area is lovely. Vibrant chartreuse furnishings and marigold orange knick-knacks create a funky vintage feel. BONUS: You can jump on their free wi-fi and someone always comes by to offer complimentary tea, coffee or wine. My boyfriend and I usually make back to back appointments with Tommy. We both have wavy cow-licked hair and Tommy's always able to make sense of it all. The cut may take a day or two to grow into itself and you may style it differently than he does, but the cuts are always sound and I trust his skills. Just make sure (as you should with any haircut) that you have somewhat of a plan going in and that you can communicate it to the stylist. For instance, if you just need a trim - not a whole new cut - make that clear when you book. TIP: I always try to schedule my appointment so I can stop into J. Betski's a few doors down for lunch. You should too if you know what's good for you ;) read more

Being new to this city, I mostly turn to Yelp for help with life's problems. My most recent problem? Seriously damaged hair. I saw the incredible reviews for Marigold and decided to try it out. Setting up an appointment was easy peasy and my stylist was super flexible about fitting me in despite my crazy schedule. The salon itself was beautifully designed and decorated. I totally loved every inch of the space-- the vintage hair dryers, the chandeliers, the ridiculously amazing furniture they had in their waiting space. The lighting was also amazing-- they cut your hair in well designed individual spaces that are lit with that "you're so gorgeous" lighting so you can feel pretty even with your hair wrapped up in the towel. There was no person at the front desk when I walked in, so I just hung out in the couch area. Eventually a guy asked me who I was waiting for and my stylist, Amanda, came out. She was only about 5 minutes behind schedule which is really not that bad. Now honestly, I can only rate the salon by the experience I had with this particular stylist. She wasn't really chatty or personable, but she was nice. My main complaint is that I never felt like I was getting pampered. No head massage, no indulgences. No chatting about life. It was strictly business. I don't know about you, but getting a hair cut is one of the only times I really treat myself to pamper time, so I was hoping for a little more of it. The haircut was quick and well executed. She took the time to explain to me what I was doing to destroy the ends of my hair and how I could prevent that in the future. And, she even introduced me to some new hair products that I'm now loving. I'm torn between giving this place 3 or 4 stars. Honestly, I'll probably be back just because I hate trying out new stylists and she gave me a great cut and advice. In terms of my overall experience there, however, I just feel like it was so-so. Make sure you save some time to check out the cute boutique/consignment store next door! read more

Dustin and the staff here are the best, no doubt. Friendly, customer oriented, and go out of their way to make you comfortable as well as ensure you get the style you want. Also been voted #1 in The Triangle area in the Independent in past years, a great endorsement. read more

Jessie is the most talented hair artist I've been to in Raleigh!!! Book her ASAP! Her work is brilliant. Her color was exactly what I desired and feel bright and stylish thanks to her!! read more

I found Marigold on Yelp 3 years ago. When I called in to make an appointment, I explained what I was looking for and it was recommended that I see Jenny. To say I love Jenny would be an understatement. Lets put aside how great she does with my hair. She also has an amazing personality and makes my haircuts a fun time that I truly look forward to. When my husband got a job in California, I was sad to leave but mostly sad to leave my trusted stylist. So when we planned out trip home for my son's first birthday, I immediately made an appointment with Jenny. Then again when my son and I made it back home for Christmas, I made two appointments with Jenny :) One for a routine hair cut and one to switch it up "a little." She did a great job, as always. Now my hair is similar to what I was used to but she added texture and definition and now I can style my hair with just a blow dryer! Oh and they are reasonably priced. Really, what more can you ask for! read more

I do not usually pay much for haircuts. I'm a Great Clips girl, although I'm kind of ashamed to admit it. But I wanted to treat myself for once, so I decided to give Marigold a shot. I only wanted a trim, so I have to admit that $50 seemed a little expensive for not much of a change. But I knew that going in, and I decided I wanted it anyways. My stylist was Jenny, and she was great. She was super friendly and chatty in the best way. Once again, I wasn't asking for anything dramatic, but I feel like she really listened, and while I didn't get much length taken off, I love the way she styled it. I would definitely go back in the future, especially for something a little bit more dramatic. I am tempted to give it 5 stars, but I probably tend to over-rate things, and I honestly don't know much about hair salons. I liked my experience and my stylist, and I will probably go back in the future to get a slightly more adventurous cut. read more

I have been going to this salon since the beginning of the year, and I love it! The salon itself is decorated so wonderfully, and it has a very cool, hip, and eclectic vibe! I always have a glass of wine when I go into the salon, and the atmosphere is always warm, and inviting, and never intimidating. I have lived in big cities around the country such as Dallas, Seattle, and Portland, OR and gone to very nice salons in all of them, and this salon would fit in well in any of those cities. My stylist is Amanda, and I love her!! She listens better than any stylist that I have had in the 30 years that I have been having my hair styled professionally. She works with me too get the right color, and style that works well with my very thick, wavy shoulder length hair. She is young, efficient, sweet, and she allows you to relax and enjoy the experience instead of talking your ear off the entire time you are in her chair. We color my medium brown hair to a much prettier shade of copper red, and Amanda is really good at getting the color right, and making sure that it complements my complexion. I have been to other nice, expensive salons in Raleigh and have suffered through some really bad coloring jobs where I wanted to hide out in my home for weeks afterwards. I am thrilled to have found Amanda. Her prices are very reasonable, and I highly recommend her services! read more

So it's taken me a few weeks to get to this review. I read the positive reviews about Marigold Parlour on Yelp, and decided I would give it a try. Since I never had been there before, I took a chance and I met up with my new mane guru, Mr. Jon Weston. Allow me to say, it was worth it. I knew I wanted to go auburn, instead (on good advice) I received a gorgeous, shimmering, dimensional red chestnut colour [so many compliments, I actually got tired of the compliments-and that's a wonderful thing!] and a saucy (ooh la la!) cut that was desperately needed on my previously over-processed hair. Incidentally, I had gone platinum two years before that had formerly been covered with a chocolate, demi-permanent colour that had faded, which left my elbow-length hair unintentionally ombre (Not a good look on me!)! When I walked out, I felt like a new woman. I mean seriously, if you had seen me before you wouldn't have recognized me. I admit it, I did the flip thing! I kept whirling my hair around, as if I were in some silly hair commercial from the 80's, cos it felt so fantastic. My friends and family were completely chuffed with my new look. The colour is terrific and I'm excited to go a more vibrant copper next time (maybe some scintillating strawberry highlights for summer?). Jon will definitely be my go-to-guy as long as long as I live in the area! He's a fascinatingly cool person with very good input. He took the time to correct my ends and painstakingly added highlights which made the colour look natural and added a lovely depth. He even expertly corrected my self-butchered bangs and made them into a beautifully incorporated fringe. My hair was a cut a bit more than I planned, but in the end, I needed it [no question]! In the end, I can definitely recommend Jon's work! I had a positive experience with him and I plan to have him work his magic once again (Heads up: This stylist worked on a 'cash only' & check basis, you may need to see what payment process may apply to each, individual stylist). The salon is run with everyone renting/working independently in their own stations, which leads a bit to a lack of cohesion but, honestly, I didn't mind. It has an eclectic ambience, and an artistic vibe to it and I am extremely pleased with my results. read more

Very excited for my next haircut with Jenny McPhie - she is awesome! Marigold Parlour is located right in Seaboard Station, which is convenient to so many places. The decor is modern and bright, and the salon feels very welcoming and not at all pretentious or trying to be ultra fancy. You schedule appointments with individual stylists, so if you're trying to decide who to call, please trust me and go with Jenny, she is a gem. Super flexible on appointment times and I felt like we were friends from the moment I sat in her chair and she put a glass of wine in my hand! She didn't judge me for being a slightly crunchy hippie who has been shampoo free for two years and was really open and receptive during our consultation. Paid $50 for a wash, cut, and blow dry. 5 stars for sure! read more

Can I have more stars? Are there more stars to give?! Jenny McPhie IS everything. My hair is a nightmare, genetics have left me with some fine and thin frizz and life has left me living in the south with it! AH! Not to fear, Jenny takes the absolute best care of my hot mess hair! She has brought me from dark to platinum, from long to pixie, all with the utmost of care and excellence. I've seen countless stylists in my life and I can count on exactly 2 fingers how many cared about how I really look when I leave the salon! Even my friends have gushed about how lucky I am to have such a dedicated stylist who has not only talent, but integrity. I put my hair and my deepest darkest secrets in her hands with nothing but confidence when I sit in her chair! If you are looking for a stylist and don't see Jenny, you're doing yourself a serious disservice. Love you, Jenny! Stay with me forever! (in a non-creepy way) read more

Marigold Parlour - Jenny McPhie - preventing middle aged mom boredom. - Hair Salons Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I happened to hear about Marigold Parlour from a friend and I am so thankful that I did! I called on a Friday morning thinking it was a long shot that i could get in--I was so desperate for a hair cut and waited until the last possible minute before a big weekend with friends to get in with someone. The sweet girl at the front desk said she would put my name up on the board and see if anyone could take me in--I got a call within 15 minutes from Laura and got an appointment that day. She did EXACTLY what I wanted and gave me some much needed texture and style without chopping my hair like some have in the past. I would totally recommend her to any and everyone! She gave me and awesome blowout and curled it as well. Let's just say it's Monday and I'm just now having to actually do my own hair ;) SOOO much love to Marigold Parlour. Hidden gem in Seaboard Station for sure. read more

I recently moved to Raleigh and so thankful I found Dustin. Best men's cut I've ever had! He puts me right at ease with a beer when I walk in. He makes sure I look my best when I walk out. I always get booty when I get home. read more

I came to Jennifer Baldwin with broken hair. My hair had suffered a number of unfortunate cuts. I was desperate. She explained why the cut was bad, how she would fix it and how long it would take. She fixed the cut and slowly worked me up to a pixie. (I needed the baby steps.) I was always told because I have thin hair that's wavy in parts I was limited in what cuts and style I could wear. Jennifer is the only stylist who disagreed and she was right! When she cuts my hair Jennifer always explains what she's doing and why, even if sometimes it's technically above my head. She will also be honest with you. If you don't want a stylist who will tell you no to a cut or color, she's not your gal. If you appreciate walking out with a color that's going to match your skin tone and/or a cut that is going to flatter your face shape then schedule with Jennifer today. The salon has a modern feel. The waiting area is comfy and offers lots of magazines to read. As a bonus you can enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, or wine. The salon has more than one Jennifer. Be sure you ask for Jennifer Baldwin. read more

The salon is very nice, but my haircut/experience was not even remotely worth the price. Probably could've given myself the exact same cut.

Don't go anywhere near Carla Rae, a woman with a Northern accent but with all the Hollywood sound set traits of a nasty Southern woman making all sorts of backhanded rude comments. When she couldn't get my hair right, she just kept chopping at it making it far too short. I had said I wanted to grow it longer. She was careless and oblivious. The whole event can probably be attributed to a lack of talent and skill. I am still reeling from the experience and will be reminded of it every morning for some time to come when I look at my hair in the mirror. read more

New to Raleigh, I searched long and hard looking for a new place to get my hair cut/colored. I previously went to another salon in the area and although the cut/color was good, the salon just wasnt the fit for me. What I liked about Marigold Parlour; they were able to fit me in for a hair cut when I called last minute, my stylist was super friendly and laid back, the products she used in my hair smelled amazing and left my hair feeling healthy and not greasy/overdone, the location and salon is really cute, glass of wine offered as soon as I checked in =) I will definitely be going back in the future. read more

Got my hair colored and cut by Jenny McPhie. I absolutely love it. She really understood my requests and needs. Also, I have curly hair and it's difficult to find someone who can work with it. She knows my texture and I completely trust her. It's also fun to just be in her chair and hang out. read more
