I can honestly say I left there with a new friend and I will most definitely be back, and I am not from the area, however, will make a point of getting here anyways. Super happy and thankful; highly recommend!

BACKGROUND TO MY REVIEW OF ACCENT HAIR DESIGN: With over 20…read moreyear's experience having my hair colored I consider myself an educated, albeit paranoid, hair color consumer. I've had my hair colored by some of the best and some of the worst (the worst being a drunken self with equally inebriated friend). I lived in New York for over 10 years where I experimented with salons from Frederic Fekkai to Jean Louis David; during my 10 years in Boston I had my hair colored at in-home salons out in the 'burbs, finally settling with Lynn at Bradley and Diegel on Newbury Street. I've had single process, double process, foils, streaking, highlighting, caps, on and on and on. Been there done that. So it was with great trepidation I started my search for a Charlotte colorist well in advance of my September 2012 move. It came down to two: one high-priced salon in Southpark (initials MS) and Accent Hair Design. I erred on the side of what I perceived to be 'safety' and went to the high priced salon back in October - I had a full head of highlights and at the last minute asked them for a 'quick trim'. They did a glorious job - beautiful highlights & low lights which shimmered and blended exquisitely with my underlying natural color. The haircut was equally gorgeous; I have thick yet fine hair and the cut played up the beautiful color job perfectly. I was ecstatic! I had found my hair color 'home' in Charlotte. As I approached the front desk to pay my bill I kept catching glimpses of my shimmering mane in the many mirrors. The women manning the desk all breathlessly commented on my glorious hair - "how much do I owe" I asked, hardly able to pull my gaze from the mirror behind the desk, "that will be $595". "I'm sorry, how much?" again "$595". Yup - $595. Let me write it again $595. For a freaking cut, highlight and clear 'glaze' shine, no other products or services. In Charlotte, North Carolina, which, by the way, has a cost of living 30% BELOW Boston. ACTUAL REVIEW OF ACCENT HAIR DESIGN: After dropping $595 on October 16 at MS, I milked that baby for all it was worth. By the time I walked into Accent yesterday, my roots were a good 2 inches and my ends were dry and scrabbly. I had stretched that last color job as far as I could by using dry shampoo and only washing it twice a week. After I told Lydia my tale of woe she went to work. 3 hours later my hair was as glorious and shimmering as it was when I walked out of the door of MS back in October. In fact, when she was done I whipped out my phone and showed her a photo I took of my hair back in October while still sitting in the $595 salon; what was clearly evident was Lydia's job was even more detailed than the last job. Her foil placement allowed for a less 'chunky' color job and the end result was a more balanced and blended color. The cut was beautiful and the glaze she used gave the blonde an almost pearly iridescence. Now came the price test - I held my breath as my tab was tabulated at the front desk, clutching $45 worth of product in my hand. "That will be $223" "I'm sorry, how much? Did you include the products I'm holding?" Yup! Minus the products I paid $178 for full head of multi dimensional foils, clear glaze shine and a haircut!!!! Let me write it again - $178 for an equal if not better job than what I paid $595 for 3 months earlier! That's a savings of $420. O.M.G.!!!! Accent Hair Design is not Southpark. It's not fancy schmancy; you won't have one assistant handing Lydia the foils while another assistant mixes the color. But it's comfortable, warm and inviting and, best of all, a place where you can get top notch hair color & cut for a FRACTION of what you'll pay at a high priced salon. Save your money - go to Accent - use the $$ you save and do something worthwhile with it rather than paying the overhead for a high priced salon.

The hairstyle in my profile picture is actually her masterpiece. I wish I could afford to see Kathy more often, but I'm only a part time employee while I'm in college. That being said, she sees me when my hair is down to my lower back and starts misbehaving. I finally get to my wits end with the tangles and text her to get it cut. She knows my usual, and has come to expect it. I get a wash, condition, cut, and dry. I once asked her to cut it shorter than usual and she told me that she would cut it longer than that because she was sure I'd regret it. If I decided I did want it shorter after all, she'd fix it. She ended up being completely right. I loved the length she cut it to. Before I got my car, she actually drove me home from a hair appointment at one point. When I asked about getting my hair dyed, she asked if I was sensitive to the heavy metals in box dye, and informed me that doing it myself with a box would be cheaper. She actually looks out for the best interest of her clients. I have thick hair, in that I have a lot of it. The texture of my hair is actually very fine. Kathy has the same type of hair, so she knows what to do with it. At this point, even my sister has started going to see Kathy. If you're looking for a talented hair stylist that listens to your wants and needs, seriously think about seeing Kathy. Oh, and before I forget. The styling of my hair in my profile picture? I didn't ask for that or pay for that. My hair appointments just don't really take that long, so Kathy styles my hair free of charge when she's done.

I have enjoyed the pleaseure of Heathers artistic and exquisitley perfect permament makeup for over…read morethe last 7 years. I first went to Heather to correct years of over waxing which left me with thin & uneven brows, not a good look. She shaped my brows so well. I personally think I aged backwards 5 years. Going from almost no brows to perfect for my face brow is life changing!! After the birth of my son I struggled with pigmentation issues on my lips. If you know, you know. It gave me a grayed look. Heather restored my lips, neutralized the dark pigment & left me with a beautiful natural pink shade that looks better than natural but no one would ever know they were permament makeup. Most recientley I went to Heather for a touch up on my brows. Once again she was able to shape & fill in holes/ faded spots ( I am terrable with SPF). I feel so confident, natural and semetrical with my brows & lips by Heather.

I had scheduled several appointments before, but had to cancel, and each time I received reminder texts and calls. Every time I have called the person I have spoken to was professional, kind and accommodating. So I finally went today and the location is clean and inviting.

Materials clean and sterile. JaKeisha wore latex-free gloves. She was very kind, calm, and engaged in conversation with me, and my service only lasted about 15 mins total, but was professional, quick, clean. A little pain, but it was fleeting and expected. I definitely recommend! I'll be back as well.
