Salon 21 - Hair Salons Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I have been with Lynn for a few yrs. Great colorist wonderful and friendly environment. Very accommodating. She is off Glenwood.

This was my first haircut with a new girl (couldn't go to my old gal anymore since we moved) in 4 years. Safe to say I was a little nervous! I called on a Tuesday with an excited bug to get short hair. Tina had an appointment for the very next day! When I got to the salon, it reminded me a relaxing cabin in nature. There were a few different rooms - check in, hair cutting, and then the shampooing room. While washing my hair, Tina gave the best head massage. OH my goodness! I've never been one to utterly relax while getting my hair cut/worked on, but here I did. And I can't wait to come back! When she cut my hair, we started light with just a couple inches off. She asked how I liked the length, and I asked if there's any way she could take another inch off (I hate to be THAT person, I was just so excited to have shoulder length hair again). She was so nice about it! She cut more, then I loved it, then she dried/styled it and I was on my merry way. Here's a pic of my shocked and happy face at how much I loved my hair. Tina did an excellent job!!! I sent this to all my friends and told them Salon 21 is the place to go. read more

Tina and Lynn are AWESOME! I came in at the end of September for my first haircut since 2019, and to get some new, bright colors added for fall. It turned out PERFECTLY, and I couldn't be happier! Tina took the time to talk with me about how we could best layer the fun colors for maximum effect, and both she and Lynn checked in regularly to make sure the bleaching and coloring were coming along like we wanted. It's been about 6 weeks now, and my colors are still vibrant and gorgeous and giving me a happy thrill whenever I look at them :) The stylists at Salon 21 are friendly and skillful, and the salon itself is SO cozy and peaceful; you can chat with Lynn and Tina and other clients, or just admire the trees through the windows and listen to the blow-driers--no pressure either way. These photos are from a few days after I got the color done, and I haven't added any filters or retouched them, so you can see the real results. I recommend Salon 21 to anyone who wants their hair done by accomplished professionals who take the time to listen and collaborate with you. You'll have a lovely time and walk out feeling like a movie star :) read more

They do amazing haircuts!!! They are so talented and respectful. Wonderful place and great hair products to offer as well.

I was SO excited to have my hair professionally colored for the first time in four years. I chose this salon because of the amazing 5 star reviews. The I wanted simple- dark tips, kind of a reverse ombré. I asked for a trim and a thin. The trim went fine, but now that I'm home and brushing my hair the next day, I'm truly seeing how sad the dye job is. I thought it was questionable the first day but decided to sleep on it. A simple part, or half up, or side braid leaves me with spots. :( I'm really sad about it, and after 3+ hours there I thought it would look great. I can't say I would recommend them right now, even though the stylists were so very nice. Giving them 3/5 for atmosphere and a decent trim. Wish I had $150 to blow on myself regularly. This was meant to be an amazing treat. I'm just supremely sad that with so many good reviews my color looks so splotchy and uneven. I have not contacted the salon yet, but I honestly think it looks bad enough to warrant fixing. read more

Super pleased with my haircut. Lynn's skill level and service quality are beyond 5 star. Wonderfully relaxing small salon atmosphere. I will be a repeat customer for sure! read more

Wonderful place. Lynn did a fabulous job in my hair. I had full color, cut and highlights. read more

I'm 68. Had my hair cut drastically and also highlighted by Lynn. It was a great experience. The salon is so welcoming and warm. Lynn is relaxed and a great conversationalist! She have me good advice and I love my hair! I thought her price was very reasonable. I'll be sticking with her. Highly recommend! read more

New in the area. Called to make an appointment gave me option of two times. Picked 6:30 Friday. Just put in Google maps and they close at 6 on Fridays. Left two messages and never received a return call. It this part is pitiful I can't imagine the quality of the service we would have received. read more

Tina the new gal, can not do highlights. Lynn did fix then for me and they were fine. When Tina did my touch up she covered up my highlights in error. read more

Great experience today at Salon 21. Christina was a delight to be with- super knowledgeable but easy to be with and friendly. I am thrilled with my color and cut and will be back. Thank you! read more

Salon 21 - Great color! - Hair Salons Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Love this place and the folks who make it happen! The atmosphere is welcoming, open and relaxed. Lynn is an awesome human being and super knowledgeable about hair, business and life. I always enjoy our conversations while she's working on my hair. Will definitely be back! read more

I've been seeing Lynn for color and cut for awhile now. Besides the fact that Lynn is an amazing human and I love her, she knows what she is doing! I've always left the salon feeling pretty and relaxed. I will only use Framesi hair color because I go red and it's a superior product. Bottom line, I would highly recommend Lynn and Tina! read more

Lynn is fantastic. I have not been able to trust anyone with my hair for 20 years until I found her. She does cut and color so well. I think it's her experience in the industry. She's fun to talk to as well. I love this salon and I love Lynn! read more

So since I don't get the same stylist every time I cannot expect the same level of quality every time. I get it. But when I showed my stylist a photo showing her what I wanted I still got a completely different color. The subsequent touch ups haven't covered all the grey. And the last time I went just before a vacation the cut I received left me with a chunk missing on the left side. It was very embarrassing to be in Vegas with a cheap looking cut that wasn't cheap. Also, check the prices before you get a service done as the prices on the website don't always match what they mean to charge you. read more

This place is AMAZING. I recently went in for an asymmetrical reverse bob with ombré highlights and my stylist did a FANTASTIC job. Not only does the cut and color look super fun and well done, she worked with me throughout the entire process, making sure the length and angles is what I wanted and offering suggestions to make it look even better. Highly recommended! read more

I decided to go from brunette to blonde but was a little nervous since I was looking for a new stylist. I wanted to keep my hair as healthy as possible in the process so I wanted to do it over several appointments. Toni truly was the sweetest and worked her magic! It took 3 appointments and I actually loved how pretty my hair looked in between. I expected the not so flattering yellow/red tones that are required transitioning from dark to light. I don't know how she did it but she even made that look great! So happy I came to Salon 21. I love the end result and how soft and healthy it still looks. I am constantly getting compliments. Couldn't have had a better experience. read more

Chloe was my stylist today, and she totally did a fabulous job with my hair! I'm stoked. I went in without a clear idea what I wanted to do, and she gave me great options. It ended up better than I could have imagined. Bayalage, root cover up, blow out with curl. I know I will get compliments. Not only is she a super stylist; she's also a genuinely great person, fun and creative. Im already excited to return. And the salon itself is super cute too. read more

amazing job on my haircut and lovely people working at the salon! I highly recommend going to salon 21

Lynn has a gift! I was so picky and worried about choosing a salon to take my dark hair to blonde, and she absolutely nailed it. Not only is it the perfect color, but she did such a good job of preserving the integrity of my hair as well. Can't recommend her enough!! read more

3000 miles from home, long stringy bangs in desperate need of a trim. Do i wait until I get home? Cut them myself? Wear a hat for the next 3 days? It's not really cheating on your guy if it's only a bangs trim, right? I google "bumble and bumble" in Raleigh, NC (pretty fail-safe way to find a good salon when you are out of town) and Salon 21 comes up in the search. I'll just see if they can fit me in. I call and ask if they have time for a quick trim, they say sure, come on in. Thankfully my older sister who has been carting me around to satisfy various whims and desires since before I can remember obliges to this one as well. 10 minutes, 10 dollars, feel 10 times better. read more

I just moved into the area and needed a cut/color desperately. After reading many reviews on yelp I settled on 21 because of its great reviews. I was able to get in quickly, 2 days after I called( sometimes that is not always a good sign). Pros, The salon was clean, nicely decorated and in a good location. Stylist were friendly and there was an adorable little dog running around. Cons, prices were much higher than what was on their "vague pricelist" stated on line and when I booked nobody informed me that the stylist I chose/given was at the highest end of the stated vague range. Then I was charged extra because she used a toner after my color and I was not informed that it would be an extra charge until given the bill. Most salons I have been to if a toner was needed, it was included. Which I would expect at a higher priced salon. There was also a kid literally running around the salon while his sister was getting a cut, mom in the corner oblivious, bit distracting and very unprofessional. Color was just ok (not quite the golden color I asked for), cut was just ok(quick and my hair was still damp when I left). Start to finish less than 2 hrs. Will I go back? Probably not. read more

I know how hard it is when you are on the lookout for a new stylist to trust with your beloved hair. Do not fear, Cleo is here! Cleo is adorable! She is super friendly and is an amazing stylist! I highly recommend her services. I came to Cleo with maroon hair down to my belly button. I wanted to donate my hair to Locks of Love and I wanted to dye my hair back to my natural, dark brown color. I donated 11 inches which was a big change! Cleo made me feel comfortable and did a great job transforming my look. read more

So I came in the other day to get my hair colored and I had the most wonderful experience ever. Ryan welcomed me with open arms and made me feel right at home. Then Lilah came out. As soon as I saw her I knew my hair was in perfect hands. I was nervous at first because I never had a Balayage done and I was nervous about going lighter but she assured me that I would look amazing and I absolutely did. It's a beautiful environment with the most friendly people. It's a very refreshing change from the huge chain salons that I'm used to going to. I have definitely changed my ways and salon 21 is the only place I will go from now on read more

I moved to Raleigh about 6 months ago and had been putting off getting my hair cut as long as possible. I knew it would be difficult to find someone to cut my hair - it always is when you move to a new city. I read some reviews on some other websites (yelp had very few reviews to offer). Talia was the girl I went with. Upon arrival I was greeted by another stylist who was very friendly. Talia and I had a little conference before my shampoo to discuss what I wanted. After a great shampoo I got great conversation and a great haircut. Note, that by the time I had my haircut it was in need of a complete style makeover after having waited 6 months to get it cut. I still like the style 3 weeks later and it's still holding its shape nicely. Talia is very nice and did a great job cutting my hair. I am looking forward to going back to her. I would highly recommend her and the salon in general. read more

Was in need of a new stylist since mine quit cutting hair to go back to school. Used yelp and found this salon with excellent reviews. My 6 year old and I went in for haircuts and Cleo did a fantastic job! One of the best cuts I have had and the place is neat looking and reasonably priced. I bought some products but did not feel pressured into it. They were really sweet to my daughter and made her feel special. We already have appointments to go back. On site parking was a bonus! read more

Just had an amazing haircut by Beccah and I left the salon feeling refreshed and beautiful! I have thick, curly hair and have had my fair share of disastrous hair cuts. My last haircut was so bad that it has been two years since I have let a stylist cut my hair-and Beccah has restored my faith! She walked me through everything she did and even gave me samples of the products that she was using (with no feelings of pressure to buy). The salon itself was bright and clean and within walking distance to many amazing shops and restaurants. Thank you to Beccah and Salon 21 for making be feel amazing! I will be back! read more

I have moved around a lot in the past several years and have never been able to find a good hair place in the Raleigh area, but after reading reviews here I finally decided to take the plunge in getting a pixie cut! I had an appointment with Talia and it could not have gone better. I have pretty thick hair and usually I end up not so happy with my cut, as it gets pretty poofy if not cut well. Talia did an amazing job cutting 9" of my hair off. She made me feel very comfortable and answered all my questions. I'm in love with my new pixie and have definitely found my new salon! read more

After several long months allowing my hair to get far too long and nasty, it was time for a cut, but where? I'd gone to Carmen Carmen! at Belk for the previous year, but no longer work there (thank god) so needed something convenient to State. Salon 21 had a 5pm opening, and offered 20% off first-time services, so that sold me! It's a very nice, comfortable atmosphere, and not too "salon-ish," which is great. Justine was my "hair artist," and she was spectacular. I felt bad for her, having to deal with my mop of hair upon my head, but she handled it wonderfully. A shampoo (and rinse after the cut) is included in the price, which is another nice touch. A men's cut with Justine was $25 ($20 after the discount!), and well worth it. I was in and out in half an hour, and will definitely be back! Thanks, Justine and Salon 21! read more

I found Salon 21 after searching on Yelp. I was looking for a change. I was able to book an appointment with Heidi. The salon is nice and the staff is friendly. Heidi was fantastic!. She was able to match and fix my hair color. She helped me find a new style and took the time to show me how to achieve it at home. She was patient and listened to my needs and really created an easy to recreate style at home. Yeah! will definitely be back. read more

Finding a new stylist is always scary, but Talia was awesome! Completely understood what i wanted, asked questions before cutting, and i walked out feeling great! Will be back again! read more

I was looking for a place to get my hair cut in the area and saw the awesome reviews for Salon 21 on Yelp so, I decided it was worth a try. After living in Europe for 3 years my hair needed some serious work. Andrea cut and styled my hair PERFECTLY! I couldn't believe how great it looked when she was finished. She talked me through it and put to rest any concerns I had. I would recommend Salon 21 to anyone looking for a long term stylist. read more

Toni gave me the best haircut of my life, and she was very kind and worked with me to get scheduled around being a single, full-time working mom. The next time I saw Toni, she gave me the best highlights I've ever had! She is wonderful, as is everyone I've ever interacted with at the salon. I can't recommend this place strongly enough, I'd been looking for a new "hair/color home" for years and i finally found it here! read more

Ask for Andrea! I've been going to Andrea for over a year and even though I'm relocating PT, I will make sure to come to Raleigh when I need a retouch. I initially wanted to go super-blonde and Andrea worked with me to pick a shade that would work with my skin and eyebrows. I loved the look but recently decided to change to a darker blonde; Andrea made sure I had a seamless transition and I am SUPER happy with it. Andrea really cares about making sure you're happy with your hair, not because she wants the $$$ (although she deserves generous gratuity), but rather she wants you to love your look. She even trimmed my clip-in hair extensions to blend perfectly with my natural hair. She'll work you into a busy schedule (she even now cuts my boyfriend's hair) and always remembers you, your hair, and your interests. She's the best of everything: fun, friendly, and skilled. The salon is very clean, cute, and has ample parking. They are smaller, which I like -- no rushed or impersonal interactions. read more

I found Salon 21 on yelp after looking for a salon to fix a bad haircut I'd received earlier that day. I knew the odds of getting an appointment that day were slim, but after calls to 8 different salons in Raleigh, Andrea at Salon 21 said she could fit me in since another appointment of hers had just cancelled. I asked for her suggestions on dyeing my hair darker (while still looking natural) and she made a gorgeous custom color for me with light brown, dark brown, and red undertones. The color looked great, and she fixed my botched haircut after washing out the dye. She cut my hair a little above my shoulders (which was a little scary for me since I've never cut my hair that short) and I absolutely LOVED the cut. It was even better than what I'd imagined, and that combined with the gorgeous dye job made me ecstatic. The prices were also great considering the rates of other salons in the area. I would absolutely recommend Salon 21 to my friends and I'm positive that I'll be back there soon myself. Andrea was my stylist, and I'll definitely be calling on her again the next time I need a cut. read more
