I went in to do my hair with Olga. I came in for a cut and color. It was my first time here and I loved it. The staff is super sweet. Olga did try and get me as light as possible without killing off my hair. She did an amazing job. I also got a cut and I love how they took their time with every inch of my hair. I recommend coming here if you want great service! read more

The salon is so lovely and full of good energy, everyone was so kind and helpful and it's clear that they love what they do! Can't recommend enough :) thank you! read more

Been getting my hair done here for literally years, used to bleach it but now i'm back to my natural color. I decided to come home from college (6 hours away) and desperately needed a haircut but didn't get an appointment with my usual hairdresser, so booked with another at the salon. I wanted my hair glossed darker, and it turned out great! And she also did a great job on cutting my hair in every aspect BUT the face framing. I have literal chuncky ugly bangs, and i usually don't get any grace framing that goes above the chin. It looks absolutely awful and now i have to do a hairstyle that i absolutely don't want to do, and if i want to go out in public im going to have to style my hair every day. I thought i was just being picky, but it genuinely looks awful. I don't know what she was thinking! have been crying everytime someone brings it up! How do you even fix this read more

I am absolutely obsessed with my hair! My stylist was Stephanie and she could not have done a better job! If you are willing to sit for a few hours to have the job done correctly, it is totally worth it. I hadn't had my hair highlighted in years, and she brought me back to life with my blonde highlights. She takes her time with you and wants you to have the best experience. I have already re-booked and I am so excited to go back! Thank you so much, Stephanie! You are truly the best! read more

I could not be more pleased!! I went to Adrian Helms. He took his time with the color process. He recommended which would look good on me. I love the cut. I have been trying for months to find someone. I am very happy and have another appointment the end of September. read more

I recently visited OA salon and was taken care of by Stephanie who was absolutely fabulous. She recommended a couple different styles and hair colors for me to choose from and made me feel confident and brand new. She is brilliant and extremely talented. I would suggest her to anyone and everyone. read more

I decided to give it a try this salon as it is close to my neighborhood. The stylist did my consultation and then the owner came over to do a second consultation. I wouldn't have minded the second consult, but I did get an overall impression the owner was trying to ensure the stylist did a proper consult. The stylist was new to the salon, so I assumed it was part of her training. The salon chair felt cheap and comfortable, as did the shampoo bowl. My original chair's electrical wasn't working so I had to be moved for my blow dry. When I was moved, the stylist had no cart to hold her supplies, causing her to have to rest the blow dryer/ clips toward the floor. There was loud construction happening, which certainly didn't contribute to a relaxing experience, but, I recognize that these things happen. While the above mentioned aren't ideal or my typical experience, they were not deal breakers for me. I requested a root touch up with all new growth covered. I explained I like a highlight with a base break to which the stylist said she could accomplish. The new highlight color didn't match the lower half of my hair color. Most importantly, it didn't appear as if I even had fresh highlights! The blow dry happened with a cheap blow dryer and the "blow out" looked like a like no round brush was even used. From consultation to checking out, I was there for over four hours. I have had my hair highlighted for 15 years- it shouldn't take more than 2.5 hours. My total was $224, for a new-to-career stylist. I don't mind the price for quality work but I walked out not looking much different than I came in. My hair gets one star. I gave a second star because the owner, the front desk girl, and my stylist were all very kind and polite. read more

Hesitating to leave this review because overall the end result was good and my stylist was incredibly nice. HOWEVER, as seen in the photo, the process was a nightmare for me. I want to preface this by saying my hair was already blonde when I came in, I simply needed a refresh. The first thing I told my stylist is that I'm facing hair loss due to COVID and so my already thin hair is now extremely thin. My (already blonde hair) was in bleach and foils for 3 HOURS and not once did my stylist check the foils to see how it was processing and then subsequently put it under heat. The amount of hair I lost during this ordeal is devastating. I've never seen hair so tangled in my life, so you can imagine the amount of hair I lost during the detangling process. As seen in the photo, I also lost several inches due to damage. (This ended up making the results look fine because most of the damaged hair was cut or fell out during detangling.) I paid $260 for damaged, chopped hair because my stylist also used extra bowls of bleach. I've never had a stylist use more than 1 bowl (even when first starting out from natural hair to blonde because my hair is so thin) and my stylist used 3! I'm absolutely not trying to trash this salon as I saw many amazing results come out of the salon that day, but still wanted to share my personal experience. read more

I will not get my hair or my daughters hair cut by anyone other than Stephanie from this salon. She's literally AMAZING. She's amazing with me. But if you're a mom... bring your kid to her. My daughter doesn't want her head touched by me. She waits for Stephanie to wash and brush her hair. If you're looking for a mommy daughter hair date... seriously... ASK FOR STEPHANIE!! read more

Well I found this salon online. I know I took a risk because I didn't know anyone who had been there before. I read many excellent reviews about the salon and about Olga. She is an excellent professional Even though I don't speak English as my first language, I can communicate very well, unfortunately I couldn't schedule an appointment with her. I chose another hairdresser and unfortunately my experience was not good. I tried for the third time on March 4, 2022 to have a balayage and a haircut. I didn't have a good experience. When the hair stylist went to wash my hair at the Shampoo Bowl, the assistant who was helping the hair stylist, she was super gentle and careful when removing the foils and washing. After she was done, my hair stylist placed a towel on the back of my head as a pillow and came with extra Color Toner to put in my hair. So far so good Until the hair stylist went to rinse off the toner. He lifted my neck to rinse my hair well, then water began to drip all over my shirt, my pants, and even my underwear. I was soaked in water, all wet and nervous. The hair stylist tried to dry my back with the hairdryer and it didn't work. So I asked for an extra towel to put on my back, which also didn't help as there was a lot of water. The hair stylist, dried my hair and paid no attention to my cut. that I had requested. The balayage again was not what I ordered. I don't even want to look at myself in the mirror because I always cry. I paid $265+ tip to have my hair different than what I asked for, it was very wet and cold. I left the salon crying, had to cancel my schedule for the day and go home. I have never had an experience like this when washing my hair. The experience was bad for me. The salon is beautiful, Olga is an excellent professional. But I had no luck with the other hair stylist there. But that was my experience and I don't want to go back, to try it again, or get my hair done like I asked. read more

I'm rating OA Salons a two based on my overall experience. I found this salon online, so I knew I was taking a risk. My stylist was Mya and she was OK. From entry, I was greeted and only waited maybe 5-min before I was seated with Mya. There was a gentleman stylist who complimented me, and he was super sweet! Good vibes. Mya asked me what I wanted, I told her a solid color dark/warm brown, and a layered cut shaping my face but not all around because I don't like the choppy look, and unfortunately that's when everything started to get awkward! She brought out color samples for me to show her exactly what I wanted, and I did! The most frustrating thing is when a stylist doesn't listen to the client!! She kept telling me I was wrong and I wouldn't like that color. I ended up just saying yeah, sure to the brown she kept pushing for. My color came out OK, not bad, just not the brown I wanted. She did the same thing when it came to my cut! I was explaining what I wanted and she kept telling me no, that's not what I want?! Like WTH lady- I'm telling you what I want?! The owner had to come and finish my cut because she could see I wasn't happy. The worst thing for me was the gossip. During all of this it was very clear they were talking about me and it made me feel uncomfortable. I normally would chop this up as a first time experience and move on, but what I cannot move on from is bad vibes! Even as I checked out the girl literally gave me a disgusted look! Wtf I just spent over $200 to listen to a stylist tell me no several times and others gossip about me and glare at me as they walked by! Even to their clients who then halted, looked, and whispered. Mind you, I was pretty quiet lol it's not like I was loud or rude at any point in time, so none of that was necessary. Just really uncomfortable and bad vibes. I won't be returning. If you read this until the end, please know, the owner is really sweet- she cuts well and LISTENS to the client. The male stylist was kind and welcoming. The others- not so much. If you don't care about the atmosphere this is a good place for you. Overall cut and color was good. read more

Absolutely Amazing! I was referred to Olga when I first moved to the Charlotte area and have been going to her for my hair care needs for the past 5 years! She knows my hair very well: I get highlights/keratin/cut and style all done and it just looks unbelievably good when it's finished. She gets the color right every time. Her work is perfection! I highly recommend her for any of your hair care needs and she will not disappoint. read more

OA Salons has the most talented professionals and such a beautiful and calming space. Simply the best experience I've ever had at a salon!

OA Salons brings expertise and consistency that I have found, can take a century to discover. Hillary Wihelm manages my look now and I feel more beautiful than I have in a very long time.

She brings every single thing to the table that I need in this service- the cut, the details, the color, the toner, everything is just in order with Hillary and she does it in the most graceful way possible. I feel extremely lucky to have found this place and to have found her. Thank you OA Salon, Olga, Adrian, Hillary, and Nina! I am a better person knowing you all.

It seems to me that when one makes an online reservation and gets three confirms from the salon then there should not be an issue. Unfortunately this is not the case with oa. They mess up the appointment and the stylist doesn't even have the decency to come over an apologize. They give you another stylist but that's not who I signed up for. I guess my business.....mens haircut.... Is not important They'll never get another dime out of me and I hope no customers trust them read more

Adrian was amazing! I just wanted a simple cut but left feeling stunning. He made helpful recommendations and showed me pictures to help me decide. I'm in love with my hair and how he cut it which I have never felt before in my life. I will continue to see Adrian and highly recommend him. I already look forward to my next cut read more

Well I had saw Olga on Groupon so I decided to give her a try. I called and mentioned Groupon she said that was no longer valid. But she was nice so I made an appointment. I told her I wanted layers so I could leave it and just let it dry or I could blow dry it. I told her I didn't want the length taken off, but she said she would have to take some off and I agreed. Both sides look different and the top has random long pieces, I tried to blow dry what I have left and it just sits there. She didn't seem to understand what I wanted and I should have taken that as a warning. The haircut is nothing like I wanted. Olga is a nice person but she does not have enough experience. I'm not trying to be mean but layering hair should be hair101 and if you can't do that maybe go back to school. The cut cost me $75 and I still tipped $15 because I'm in the industry but I was not one bit happy. I'm going to have to wait another 6 months before I can try to fix it. Olga did tell me to come back if I found that I wanted her to fix something but I fear if I went back I would have no hair when I left. read more

I Krissy! She always does a great job with color, cut and straightening treatments. She listens and gives you exactly what you want.

During my appointment i had nothing to complain about the girl doing my hair was very sweet, constantly making sure i was okay and asking if i wanted a drink ect. i booked my appointment for a balayage and was told my hair would not lift as much as i wanted due to previous hair dye which was expected. after she was done i was very happy with the turn out. when being checked out i was SHOCKED with the price. the balayage was listed as "starting at 175" that only comes with 2 bowls of dye, not knowing i'd be charged for each additional bowl of dye she had to mix up and she used a heavy hand scooping the bleach as well. also not told that toner was not included in my service. my $175 service turned into a $350 service! with tip i left spending $400 on my hair for it to look barely different because it didn't lift much. after the first wash my hair is left absolutely fried and is breaking off by the second. so upset that the health of my hair is completely ruined. read more

I had just moved to the southpark area and decided to initially purchase a groupon to find a new salon. I wasn't sure what to expect at first but I couldn't ask for a better experience. Olga is so friendly and patiently listened to what I had in mind for a change in cut and color. I walked away so happy with my hair and new confidence. I will definitely be back. And her Russian accent is so charming! Definitely recommend her if you are looking for a stylist! read more

she is not only a professional she is also a good fun person we love her I am grateful to her for everything. She helped me change the style of my hair. read more
