I have had Jennifer Bell cut my hair for almost a decade. Her cuts are great, she is very skilled and really listens when you explain what you want. She recently moved her salon to a really fabulous space in the same parking lot as 5th Season plants. The space is amazing, there is ample parking and I felt moved to post a 5 star review! read more

This was my first visit to this lovely salon, I had a great haircut from Vivie and am looking forward to coming back

I've gotten cuts, trims and color with Grace and she's awesome! She will offer advice if you want, is very knowledgeable about all things hair and she's super nice too! I appreciate the cool vibe, reasonable pricing and flexible attitude. Happy customer! read more

I have been a client of Jennifer's for over 25 years and I can always depend on getting quality service and results in the salon. She's very patient and thorough working with my curly hair to find the right style for my shape face and assures me that I'll be able to maintain it easily when I get home, which is always a relief!! I feel relaxed and know that I can be myself the minute I walk through the door! I know everyone will be friendly and will always be there to help me with whatever I need! read more

Excellent cuts and color. Unpretentious but very comfortable, very nice people. Jennifer the owner is terrific

This place was great at first but the two girls that were running the salon maybe a week or two back were just very immature.

Had some bangs cut by Mike today, only in the chair for about 10 minutes. Only paid 15 dollars which is reasonable for that amount of work. That said however, overall not too happy with the cut. There were many loose wisps that hung over my face that should have been cut. The edges of my bangs were uneven and a little choppy. My boyfriend had to go back and cut the loose hairs and fix the corners to make them even. The process seemed rushed without much attention to detail. I would have gladly paid more for a little more time and a wash before hand to get the bangs done well. I am very happy with my bangs just not happy that my boyfriend spent more time fixing them than Mike did cutting them. read more

these guys are the best!! Vina is my go-to stylist in the area and I recommend her to anyone, especially anyone with thick curly hair who struggles to find stylists who can work with curls. she gives great advice on how to take care of your hair after the cut as well. really positive energies in the store overall. highly recommend! read more

Don't let Mike cut your bangs, other than that he did a fine job but he left my bangs uneven and much shorter than I asked for. The staff were really friendly though and offered free beverages. read more

Really cute place and super friendly folks! However, we called weeks ahead of time reserving for 3 stylists for a wedding. We arrived wedding morning and only 2 were able to go at a time delaying us over an hour. The bride was pretty sad at this. Our hair looked wonderful in our boho curls at the moment. Interestingly, the stylists didn't use hair spray even as many of us requested and told them we had a long day ahead, and they assured all of us our hair would stay. Sadly, all 6 of our styles fell within a single hour to just boring straight. No curl, not even a wave. Thank goodness I brought a curler and real hair spray. We all had to redo our hair. Which again delayed our wedding timeline. So it unfortunately didn't feel like a $65 well spent. Edit to reply to salon: There were 6 of us and only 1 wanted an updo who had above the shoulder length hair and wanted a single braid. Sorry you double booked us with your regulars, but we were told we would have 3 stylists. Your staff was great to work with day of despite the hair falling. But, if you were already so booked with regulars we would have appreciated being told when making our reservation you couldn't accept us. read more

Mike always does an amazing job with my cut and today did a beautiful job with my daughter's highlights! read more

This place came highly recommended to me and I wasn't dissapointed! I came in for a cut for my curly/wavy hair and Jennifer did a great job. Covid safe and all. read more

Although this quaint salon lacks in size, it more than makes up for it with great personalities & skill. I was warmly welcomed when I arrived for a walk-in appointment. I received a consult, cut & color that I love. In fact, I've had more than a half dozen compliments on my hair today since I've left. Not only did they make me feel at home (I'm 2000 miles from home) but I received a delicious complimentary mimosa as I had my hair done! Highly recommend! read more

Salon2Suites - Hair Stylists Near Me - Carrboro, North Carolina

I had a fantastic experience at Salon 2eleven this past weekend! I had been looking for a new salon closer to my home (loved my old salon in Raleigh, but I don't work there anymore so it didn't make sense), and in my search for a Chapel Hill/Carrboro salon that offered keratin relaxers (very specifically), I came across 2eleven. Booked easily and quickly online with Vina for a Saturday morning. Showed up on Saturday morning and snagged one of the parking spots behind the salon, but there were plenty of other spots across the way in the town garage. Loved the vibe, set up, and view of the salon, and the team working was great. Felt instantly at home! For the first time in the 8+ years that I've been getting chemical hair straighteners/relaxers, not once has the salon or stylist actually said "we can do as much or as little as you want," meaning I always walked out with an entirely flat shiny head of hair. I thought it was all or nothing...until 2eleven! Vina and Jennifer worked together with me to figure out exactly what I wanted the end product to look like and they customized the mix of the treatment, the timing, and the aftercare so that it accomplished my goals of not being a fuzzy mess. Vina styled the end product so that I would have some body--unusual after a keratin!--and I felt great about my hair during the usually-awkward 48 hours after when you can't wash it. I just washed it this morning and very lazily blew it dry and it is EXACTLY what I wanted. Volume, shape, but no fuzz! Mission accomplished by a great salon team. I'll be back! read more

Vina cut my hair! She did an awesome job. Everyone here is super friendly and the salon is very cute and boho. Will def be back! I don't usually get hair cuts very often but this is going to be my new go to! read more

My stylist - Vina was so sweet and really understood what I wanted to do - balayage blonde in my dark hair with as little cut off as possible but still removing some dead ends. She took her time, toned after processing, cut, and gave me a blowout. 5 stars. The salon - certainly not the chicest, cleanest, most upscale place in town but that's why I came here! It was super laid back, they played good music, and offered a huge variety of drinks (wine, beer, coffee, tea, water, soda) and even cupcakes since it was the day after Valentines Day. 4 stars because one of the guy stylists was eating tuna like 3 feet from people getting their hair done and the space is nearly too small. Price - fair pricing in my experience! Location - really convenient with a dedicated parking lot, right in the middle of Carborro. I'll be back to see Vina! read more

My daughter just had an outdoor haircut with Vina, and I highly recommend it! It was plenty warm today, but they are looking into a heated setup for the winter so if you are concerned about being inside, check it out! Everything was very smooth - from texting questions beforehand to online scheduling to the appointment being right on time. My daughter's hair was a longer basic style, and she asked Vina to go short, similar to the photo, and she was very happy with the results (not posting actual photo just because privacy). We will definitely be back! read more

Vina was excellent and very skilled in balayage! She shows a lot of care in her work. Highly recommend!

Love this place. Mike is so knowledgeable about the care and keeping of your hair. They are so welcoming, they'll hand you a glass of wine and ask about your kids. Love them! read more

Yay! The only spot I go for haircuts. I used to go once per year to Great Clips because I hated paying salon prices for marginal haircuts... only to realize I just needed to find a salon and stylist that was worth it! Jennifer at Salon 2eleven gives me the haircut I've been seeking (I have long hair and I want layers and bounce and movement and texture) and she always sends me out with curls afterward, at no extra cost. They serve you champagne or wine during your appointment which I love. Jennifer is so kind and friendly- she remembered me after only one appointment, and now after two appointments, I think I could walk in and say "the usual" and she would give me a glass of champagne and the "Cameron Diaz cut" without asking any questions! I really love this local spot. Book your appointment online. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about salon 2eleven! I will not let anyone else touch my hair except Jennifer, she's a magician for curly hair! I got a cut by her and it looked great for years - I just got it recut and wanted the same cut (which is hard to ask) and she cut it in a way I liked even better! My mom simultaneously got her hair cut by Mike and it's her favorite cut she's ever gotten. This place is just AMAZING! 5 stars does not do it justice! read more

The guy can't cut hair at all he messed up my line up and he just cuts the whole thing instead and he can't square the side. Worst cut i ever gotten. Wasn't even worth the money read more

They really worked with me to get a style and color that I love! I walked in not knowing 100% what I want and they were so patient and really walked me through the whole process! I ended up with a cut that a Brought our my curls in a way that I haven't seen in 10 years! read more

They did the hair for myself & wedding party on my wedding day, and I am so, so glad I did. They opened up (usually not open on Sunday) and had champagne, drinks, and snacks for us. The vibe was fun & light and started the entire day on a positive vibe. Thank you again! I can't recommend them enough. read more

I decided to cut my hair significantly shorter and my regular stylist couldn't get me in as soon as I wanted. I was struggling with this decision and so when I finally made my mind up, I had to get it done then and there, or I'd loose my nerve! So, after reading all the great reviews here on Yelp for this salon. I gave them a call and they got me in a little more than an hour later! Mike did a super job on the cut and was very "team oriented" since I knew what I wanted but it was a little unorthodox. He approached it with professionalism and creativity and it turned out exactly as I'd hoped. So, if you are at all on the fence about this place, don't be! Book an appointment with confidence! read more

Owner and staff are real and personable. Scheduling online is extremely convenient (no phone tag), and there is some free parking behind the building. Mike got me in quickly and offered me good advice. My haircut came out perfect. The pricing is reasonable (well worth it for a quality haircut), but one suggestion would be to update current pricing information on the website, as I couldn't find it easily. The window view of all the Carrboro action is fun too. read more

Love this salon. Vina cut my hair and did an incredible job, very precise and great insight. Walked in and they were able to fit me in quickly, everyone at the salon was friendly and fun to be around. Was in and out quickly and the prices are amazing for the quality work they do! read more

Anyone with curly hair has suffered through some bad cuts at the hands of stylists/barbers who don't know what to do with the tangled web. Enter Jennifer, who is a Jedi sent to earth to rescue the curly haired from the oppression of bad hair cuts. Best, and most consistent, cuts I have ever had. Cuts are very affordable, and Salon 2eleven has a friendly, fun, casual vibe. And Jennifer is amazing. read more

I have been getting my hair dyed blonde for 8 years and have never wanted a refund. I came into Salon 2eleven excited to get my hair balayaged and left uneasy about the color/tone but they convinced me the brassy color would help my hair look "multidimensional" However when I got home upon further inspection the dye job was really botched. Green and brassy at the same time and bleach spots. I am incredibly disappointed that when my hair was getting blow dried my stylist ignored the obvious mistakes and let me walk out unaware. I was asked if I liked to wear my hair up which maybe I should have said yes? They do offer a 7 day redo policy, but no refunds. I did not wish to come back for the redo as I felt uncomfortable with how they had left my hair, to begin with, and wanted to have another salon that I trusted fix it. I wrote my honest review and the owner reached out to attack me personally and say I "lack integrity and ethics" Do not recommend. read more

I was a walk-in at the salon, and my stylist was Mike. I thought he did a great job of listening to exactly what I wanted, and he helped me fix my pixie problems. The service was great. The mood was cordial, and I was served free coffee. read more

Definitely the worst hair cut I've ever had. Waited over an hour to get seen, girl who cut my hair clearly slept through all of cosmetology school, and didn't listen to anything I requested. Needless to say, I've been wearing my hair up for the past month to hide it and purchased hair growth vitamins in attempt to grow this mullet out. read more

Outstanding salon. Sophia did my hair (color, highlights, gloss, cut) and did an AMAZING job!! Jennifer has done my hair as well and she is OUTSTANDING too!! read more

Salon 211 has great people and a great atmosphere. The salon is cute and cozy without kitschy decorations. The stylists are fun and down-to-earth, easy to talk with. There's no judgment of how you do or don't want your hair, and they give great suggestions when you aren't sure where to go. Their salon is environmentally an vegan friendly too! I used to go to a busier shop on Franklin Street, but after this one time at Salon 211 I'm making the switch. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Vina. The salon was able to work me in at the last minute on a Saturday and Vina did a great job getting to know me and what I wanted. My layers look great, and she did a perfect job with length. I have wavy hair and she wanted to make sure that she didn't cut too much off, which I really appreciate. The salon is very friendly, casual, and in a cute part of Carrboro. Go see Vina and enjoy your experience! read more

i made an appointment on a lark upon having a surprise day off from a busy schedule. I was greeted warmly and comfortably given a mimosa and a perfectly lovely short haircut. i was unsure at first but tend to trust stylists and i am glad i did. i have been shopping around for a new spot since i moved back to town over a year ago and i am glad i gave this little spot a chance. cant wait to go back. read more

I wanted a perm with loose curls that didn't go straight and flat on top, and Jennifer knew just what to do. When a couple of parts didn't hold the curl, she was happy for me to come back so she could make it right, by feathering out the heavy parts of my hair. More expensive than I'm used to, but overall a pleasant and worthwhile experience, especially if this great perm holds for months. read more

I donated my hair via walk-in appointment and the staff graciously helped me with prepping and packaging the cut hair. And my new short style is super trendy. Thank you! read more

I highly recommend Mike. Before my first visit, he did an in-depth consultation where he asked me a lot of questions and went through a color book and Instagram photos with me. I really felt like he was listening. Before my visit, he called me to tell me he was a delayed so I wouldn't be sitting in the salon twiddling my thumbs. I appreciated that. To keep it real, I'll mention a few downsides. My first visit (cut and highlights) took a very long time. Luckily, they provided wine, which kept me happy. The salon is quite small, which gives a nice cozy feel, but a little girl running back and forth kept bumping into my chair and no one stopped her. Stylists were also running into timing issues with sharing a sink. I do think they need a slightly larger salon. It's also very expensive, but all good salons in Chapel Hill/Carrboro are. It's unfortunate for broke students. Back to the good...my long layers were beautiful, and Mike made my hair feel like silk. The highlights were well-structured. I decided they were too ashy after I went home, and I used the 7-day redo they offer. It was drama free, and Mike corrected the color beautifully. The next time I went, Mike spent a reasonable amount of time on my cut and color, and again made my hair feel like silk. He did an excellent job bringing it back to its natural color, including the subtle warm tones it used to have. I was impressed. Mike is personable and very friendly without talking your head off. The overall salon atmosphere is relaxed, informal, and fun. read more

I went to get hair cut a few months ago. The lady who seemed like the owner was very polite and nice. However, the guy who cut my hair was very rude. He didn't say anything for whatever i asked. He just said, "yeah" or nothing. Instead, he had chitchat with other workers and talked about the tea or some drinks. Yes, it was not an important thing to talk when you cut your customer's hair. I asked some questions about their services and he didn't answer anything. SILENCE. I felt very awkward. I was very uncomfortable and I almost went to the owner if i could get hair cut from other workers who seemed nicer than the weird guy. I really didn't like what he did and i ended up paying about $50 for the hair cut my hometown hair stylist felt bad for. I won't go this place anymore. Especially, if you have customers, you should talk to them. If you don't want to or if you don't have mediocre social skill and mediocre hair stylist skill, well, i don't know what to say. (I really don't want to call him , "a hair stylist" I really doubt if he had gotten decent training). If you go to this place, you should make sure WHO will do jobs for your hair. Seriously. read more
