    Went in to get my daughters hair done by Brittney I believe? There were two ladies that did her hair but they were both great! Friendly staff, great environment and excellent job on her haircut! She was sooo happy all day! We will definitely be back. Excellent job ladies!

    Getting my hair did!

    Pinup Studio is my go to hair salon in Raleigh! I went here on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm so glad I did! I always go and see Katie Green, and every time, she listens to what I'm interested in, gives me her honest opinion about what will or will not look good on me, and then executes it flawlessly and with style. Before Covid, they offered drinks to their clients. While the service has been suspended, I do hope that, once things calm down a bit, we can bring that back! Regardless, Pinup Studio is a pink enameled hidden gem of Raleigh, and has such a great reputation for a reason! Parking: lots of parking in the front and back lots! Service: I've gotten highlights here before (which came out *amazing*) but this time I got layers and face framing done Stylist: Katie Green!

    Lots of product options

    Katie Green you are my new hair girl!!!!! After moving from Ca, I have been to a few hair salons and have been disappointed until today! Heard about this studio during a yelp event so I decided to check them out. The decor is welcoming. Love the chair and the colors, lovely ambiance. Kate and I went over my hair goals, she is easy to work with and friendly. I went in with partial highlights which were brassy and in need of help. I wanted go lighter as summer is around the corner but I always worry since I have dark hair and want to make sure my hair and skin tone don't clash. Katie didn't disappoint- She added more dimension to my hair and I absolutely love it. Feels healthy and beautiful. Next stop- lashes! They offer extensions and lash lifts. I have found my go to girl and salon! Aside from doing hair- Katie is also certified to do lash extension! And hair extensions. Pin up is my one stop shop! https://instagram.com/hair.by.katiegreen?igshid=5b9ilnjoy9ln

    This review is long overdue. Adena and the rest of the team at Pinup is worth 10 stars - 5 stars just doesn't cut it. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and it was exactly how I envisioned it. At the end of the night, I didn't want to take down my hair or remove my makeup! And yes, it was still all perfectly intact - after more than 12 hours! They truly are the sweetest people - my bridal party was so blown away by their hair and makeup skills, and we all got so many compliments throughout the day. I look back on my photos now, and everyone looked absolutely stunning for my big day. I cannot recommend this studio enough, and I cannot thank them enough (especially Adena) for making me and my girls feel like superstars on my wedding day. Y'all are truly the best of the best - keep up the amazing work and flawless customer service!

    I've been scouting Pin Up for a while and decided to try them out, as I was needing a new salon. I'm so glad I made an appointment because they did a great job, for a really great price. I got all over color, cut and an eyebrow wax for $150. Sydney was wonderful and really asked the right questions about what I wanted with my hair and look. It had been a while since I got my hair done and I felt welcomed and unjudged. Sydney took the time to inform me about the products she was using, but didn't try to oversell me on things I needed, which I appreciated. All the other staff members were really kind and welcoming. On top of the great service, I loved the decor. They salon is so cute with a ton of Instagrammable spots. It's also easy to make an appointment online. They have a ton of services, so I would highly suggest them. Just follow them on IG and you'll see what I'm talking about!

    I am so, so, so upset with how horrible the customer service is here. I messaged the salon to see if I could get a horrible "balayage" job fixed. I As a side note, I wasn't trying to get a free re-do. I knew it had been longer than their 7 day re-do policy, and I totally get that there are costs involved for the salon. I have been to this salon many times and knew some of them could do great work, so I just wanted some help scheduling to get this fixed with hopefully a more experienced stylist. But, the manger Alli was horrific. She argued with me, offered 20% glaze to fix it?! Are you kidding me? A glaze would not fix this at all. It needs to be completely re-done. The roots are uneven and crazy (not to mention the solid line instead of blend) and the top of my hair is over-processed while the bottom is not processed at all. Definitely not a balayage, and definitely the worst color I've ever had. She was rude, nasty, and unhelpful. The lack of concern for clients and how argumentative she was was wild to me, considering how many hundreds of dollars I've spent at this salon over the years. Attached are pictures of how it turned out versus what I asked for. I got a highlight, not the balayage I paid the premium for. I spent $250 on this less than ideal hair job and then met with awful customer service on top of that. I used to go to this salon all the time, and I will NEVER be back. Beware of the new stylists and the manager. They need to grow up. So disappointed.

    This place is so magical during Christmas time!! I wasn't in the holiday spirit but I was after my haircut and style. Katie is phenomenal!! She explained the whole process and made sure I was happy every step of the way. I have long hair and she made sure to give me layers and trim only what was needed off. She even took some pictures for me. I was offered a complimentary drink which was amazing!! You couldn't help but smile in the winter wonderland. At the end they even gave me a little Christmas gift. The experience wasn't over though. I couldn't help but get some gifts as stocking stuffers. The prices are great but the service is even better. Thank you Katie!

    See all

I was in panic mode when a friend recommended Alter Ego. I decided to give it a shot and took the quick quiz on their website to see which stylist would be the best fit for my hair texture and needs. The results led me to Abby B, and thank goodness they did. I called in and booked an appointment for the very next day. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. I explained my hair situation to Abby, and she immediately made me feel heard and reassured. She took the time to understand exactly what had gone wrong, and more importantly, what I wanted going forward. To say Abby worked miracles would be an understatement. She carefully assessed the damage and worked her magic to reshape and revive my hair. I walked out with a cut that not only fixed the disaster but actually looked better than what I had originally hoped for. Abby truly listened, gave thoughtful suggestions, and showed serious skill and care. I'm beyond happy with how everything turned out and can confidently say I've found my new go-to salon. If you're looking for a stylist who's talented, kind, and truly invested in making you feel good about your hair, Alter Ego, and especially Abby B, is the place to go.

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.

I was scheduled with Michaela for a Halo face framing type situation and was greeted very kindly by her and everyone else at the front desk. They offer you water and other beverages there as you arrive. There is also local crafted jewelry in the sitting area to browse. Getting back to hair, Michaela was very personable, funny, nice, and professional. The experience was nice and it feels like you're just chatting with an old friend. Honestly I probably chat too much but the story of my life LOL. They take you back to the hair washing area which is quiet and Serene, ready for relaxation. They also offer you and I mask type essential oil situation where you can pick different scents. After your hair is done washing you get processed and then you go back to your sitting area. It took a little bit to get my hair to the desired look but Michaela and the salon made it very easy to work with and get the results we were hoping for. I appreciate them for being so accommodating and ease of everything. Michaela is a great stylist and I would recommend booking with her anytime! Not only will she make your hair look better but just speaking with her makes your day better too.

You can tell that he has been doing it for a long time and takes pride in his work. I've had my hair cut by him three times and I've been very happy with the results every time. The atmosphere at Tesoro is really laid back and comfortable. When you arrive you are greeted by Maurizio or one of the other stylists and usually offered a water or a cup of coffee. It's a nice touch and I think it speaks to the level of service that they provide. You can make an appointment but they also take walk ins. If you walk in though, you may have to wait a while. So, I would recommend making an appointment, especially if you're going on the weekend. As a guy, you really can't beat the value. For the price point $20 you get a professional haircut and wash. You are going to pay close to that at any one of the corporate hair cutting places where they tend to do a poor job and rush you in and out. Go to Tesoro for your next haircut, you won't be disappointed!
