Was never informed that the person doing my hair was a higher educated person prior to getting my hair done, meaning I had to pay significantly much more. I asked why the price was more than it normally is especially for getting the same exact thing done to my hair that I always do and was told it was because a higher educated person did my hair, but I never knew that it would cost more or even that a higher educated person was doing my hair prior to that. And on top of that wasn't even refunded half of what I had paid. Before that all happened they also made me come back three separate times because they "didn't have enough time to do my hair." They did give me 30% off for one of the times that they made that scheduling mistake which I was appreciative for. But not when it continued to happen. read more

Came here for the first time this year and will never go anywhere else again!! Annalise gives me the perfect cut every single time and makes me feel so confident trying new styles for such an affordable price. My friends also go to Krissy for color and it looks amazing every time! Everyone in the salon is so nice too I highly recommend this location for all hair style needs!! read more

So sad with my experience. My first time here because we just moved to the area from South Park and I was looking for a few inches off and some nice soft layers. Well...that didn't happen. Paid $35 for this haircut...then $75 at another salon to have it fixed where they had to take me to a long bob to fix the chunky thick cut. I have very thick wavy hair and she just didn't know how to manage that. The other salon was mortified with how bad my cut was...and so was I. I won't be returning read more

I did my research for the salons in the area and this one was the cheapest, but you know the saying "you get what you pay for"....this def applies. My color and cut were decent, but the entire experience felt rushed and like I was a bother just being there. Both girls were nice, and yes 1 does the cut and another does the color; which is very odd to me. I didn't feel like a priority and the conversation was lacking. A definite letdown for me considering getting my hair colored is a treat. read more

After trialing many other options, I settled on Planet 21 a few years ago. I have been extremely happy with the stylists and their service. Meredith does great work and could not be nicer. Highly recommend her for a male styling (she does female styling, as well). read more

I have lived in a lot of different cities (Sydney, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Scottsdale, Santa Barbara,...) and have seen many hair stylists. From the minute I walked in I was impressed. The owner saw us pull in and walked us into the salon to check us in personally. The receptionists were SO kind, happy and nice. A few minutes after we walked in Ali called for my daughter to come back. They offered us drinks, of course. Ali was knowledgeable, kind, friendly. The owner checked in on us several times. By the time she was done we were so thrilled I have booked an appt as well. Highly recommend this salon. They have this whole thing down to a science and my daughters cut and color is absolutely gorgeous! read more

I just had my hair colored by Ashley and I love it!! It's the exact blonde I've been wanting my whole life. And my hair isn't fried and ruined. She really did a great job. The way I found her was by stopping a lady at the store whose hair was spectacular. I asked her who did her hair and she directed me to Ashley at Planet 21. I'm so happy I asked! read more

I've gotten my hair done at this salon since I was in high school... I am now in my late 20's. Ava is the absolute best with blondes and the only person in Charlotte I trust doing my color. I've sent several of my girlfriends to her and we've all been obsessed with our highlights! If you want to be pampered in a high-end, edgy saloon with very fair prices, I certainly recommend! read more

Been going here for the past 2 years and this is the one time I've had a bad experience. DO NOT RECOMMEND Sonya (a supposedly "senior" stylist) at all. Went in for simple 90s short layers, and she belittled me about getting my layers that short, saying it wouldn't look good on me despite me having had them in the past. Ended up cutting my hair the way SHE wanted (which was basically just a trim) & paid over $95 for my hair to look almost exactly the same, but with face framing pieces that are cut unevenly. Besides $100, I spent an hour getting my head yanked at and the sides of my face scratched with a comb. She also completely paused cutting my hair to speak to other customers TWICE, and then another time to put in an order for lunch. Won't be getting her again since every other stylist I've had was great. read more

If you're looking for a good salon to replace the one that you left behind when you moved to the Charlotte area (like I did), AVOID PLANET 21!! Although the place looks like a hip, NYC salon (along with its over-priced services), it definitely isn't! They don't listen to customer requests or apparently have the skills or ability to highlight medium brown hair without turning it brassy or orange--this is not a difficult request in 2018--with the newest hair color techniques and products. Instead, they turned my hair yellow & orange! And if you're unhappy or want it fixed? Expect MAJOR attitude--even after spending hundreds of $$; my hair still wasn't fixed after (and they charged me again!) It was still brassy but now more damaged afterwards! And since I still had the "nerve" to be unhappy about it, they told me to go somewhere else (which I did and they fixed it). The real problem of course was going there in the first place..... read more

Planet 21 salon is my favorite place in Charlotte! I have been coming here for 13 years and have never been disappointed with my hair or the service. Everyone here is so thoughtful, kind and accommodating to every need. The atmosphere is always relaxing and soothing. It smells wonderful too. They always offer snacks, candy, beverages including wine . There are many price levels and stylist, they cut hair and do color. I have lived in Charlotte for 17 years and tried other salons when I first moved here but after I found my home Salon I can't recommend this place enough!!! The owner is often seen cutting hair as well! This salon does exactly what you want and not what they think is best, they want you to feel beautiful/handsome and be happy with your results. So check them out! I like the location at the Fountains. Xoxo MBeck read more

I do not understand why this place doesn't have better reviews. I guess people want to keep it a secret. I have yet to find a better person to cut my hair (ever) than Mija. Yes, this salon is on the high end... $80 for a cut, but I never ever have to worry it won't be what I want. Also she is amazing and i dont have to give her a lot of instruction, she just understands hair and style. Also she is not awkward- if you don't want to talk you don't have to. I miss you Mija now that I'm in ATL read more

I have been wanting to get my hair cut really short for a long time. Maybe for the past couple years... Anyway, I finally became brave enough to chop off my two and a half feet long hair off. The first time ever to be doing this, I was very nervous about finding a hair salon that worked for me. I found this place recommended by a friend. I will never go anywhere else as long as I live in Charlotte, NC. From just arriving there I was greeted by almost all the stylists and the receptionists were really great too. They even asked (the receptionist) what kind of cut I was going for and wanted to see the pictures I had picked out. They were very encouraging and excited to see the results. My appointment was with Jen Myers. (Her last name will be different soon, as she mentioned to me that she was getting married soon). Anyway, she was super great! Very nice and talkative and very informative. She let me know all of what she was doing before she did it, and asked my opinion on how she should cut it etc. and then showed me how to style each step. I felt very comfortable and excited as soon as she started. At first I was very nervous about getting ALL that hair cut off, but she made me feel right at home, and once it was done I was shocked at how amazingly different I looked and how good the cut was on me. It was awesome! I LOVE/LOVED it. Everyone in the salon loved it. Customer and stylist. I was very pleased with my brave choice. All in all, I was more than happy with this salon and will end up going back for sure. Oh, and the atmosphere at is very fun and chic. :) read more

Baylee did an amazing job! I will definitely be back to get my touch up soon! Thank you so much for making me look pretty again

My daughter and I were visiting from out of town and wanted our hair cut and styled. My daughter also wanted a color as well. This salon was able to get us both in the same day. We found the reception to be warm and inviting, and our stylist, Anna, was well skilled. My daughter's color looks great, also (I'm sorry I didn't catch her color stylist's name). We both received excellent service and are both very happy with our hair! read more

Love this place! I went in to get my crappy ombré fixed up and I left with the prettiest balayage ever! It was right before my high school graduation and it was amazing and lasted about 10 months before turning orange and my roots showing. read more

I have been a client for many years, and will never change stylists or salon. Sonia is my stylist and I absolutely love her, she is amazing at cutting all styles but especially for me, she is a fabulous at cutting my short pixie. Everyone in the salon from the girls at the front desk to the assistants are extremely professional and friendly. It is also a sweet bonus if you run into the owner Eric. Everyone treats you like family which is why I drive over an hour each time get a haircut. Thank you all so much for 20 plus years of beautiful hair. And too this day people still stop me on the streets and ask "who does your hair?" read more

Planet 21 is great! Baylee is amazing! She does my hair, as well as both of my roommates' and at least 3 other friends' hair. Our hair colors range from platinum blonde to brunette. So she can do it all! The salon itself is beautiful and has coffee, drinks, snacks, magazines, etc. Definitely recommend both Baylee and Planet 21!!! read more

Incredible experience! Nikki is amazing. Loved my color and my time with her. She took time to listen and looked out for the integrity of my hair, which being a blonde, i appreciate so much. Relaxing atmosphere & great products. read more

Nice fancy place. Didn't have to wait at all. Brief consult before a shampoo girl washes you and kind of just hangs around (maybe for a tip). Separate people cut and color so it's an all day thing. And I was a bit taken back by the cost. She spent 15 minutes total trimming my hair AND styling it. I was out the door for $65 just for a trim. I find that a bit outrageous. read more

Nice place, didn't have to wait, J and Carissa were both super sweet and I have nothing negative to report. Priced right too!

I've been a loyal customer for over 10 years! Love Mandy & Ava for color and Ellie for cut! The staff is so welcoming and professional.

I recently made an appointment at this Planet 21 Salon location for a highlight and trim. I have been on a mad search for a stylist like I previously had while I lived in Los Angeles. I took a tip from the owner of a near-by boutique and booked with Kali for color and Jay for cut. First off, the location is fabulous! The Fountains are a very nice location for a short day of boutique shopping, dining, and beauty services. The salon is decorated just like what you would imagine in an upscale LA Salon, complete with up-beat music and flat-screen tvs. The salon is just big enough to look extremely professional, but small enough to not be too itimidating. Overall, it has a swanky lounge vibe throughout. As for my highlights, Kali did one of the best jobs I've had in quite sometime. She's just incredible, and has personality for miles! My hair is a bright blonde color and when I left I felt like a real life Barbie doll walking! Jay did my cut (trim), and I felt like a complete different person when he was done! Suddenly, all my confidence had been restored and I was ready to take on the world! Price was moderate to expensive, but totally worth it! I paid over $130 for partial highlights, trim, and one product. They are very, very fast and will not waste your time or your day. This is the quickest and most beautiful highlight and cut I have ever received! I would recommend this location and these stylists to anyone looking for a new, hip look or even a new salon. If you are new to the area, this is the place to go! Thank you Planet 21! read more

Ava is AMAZING with color. The best in Charlotte. After trying several other high end salons and being continuously disappointed Ava finally got my hair color exactly where I wanted it.

Sarah does an amazing job. She is very professional and fun to chat with during service. My hair always turns out fantastic!!

I've been going to planet 21 for roughly four years and tried to get in as an emergency haircut this weekend. Not only did she not look but I would have to come in for a consultation haircut because no one there has my records. Salons gotten so caught up in themselves that they can't take care of a long time client. It literally blows my mind that you have have a hair consult prior to cutting my hair. My hairs is flat and straight!!! Moving on! Went to M2 Salon near Ballantyne and Oksana rocked my world!!!! read more
