I was extremely happy with my visit here. I got a very chic personalized cut and style, better than what I had hoped. The interior of the place itself was stylish - loved the exposed brick walls, soft lighting, peaceful decor. Functionally, sinks, chairs, mirrors, everything, great fit. I enjoyed talking with the stylist - perfect mix of professionalism and friendly openness. And my haircut still looks amazing weeks after!! I look forward to coming again! read more

Went there and asked for a certain style and even provided a detailed picture showing different angles of the desired style and left miserable. Did not know the studio was undergoing a merge with another salon or I would have booked with someone else. The stylist name is Kailyn. read more

Tina and Kailyn are some of the best in the business! They have both been cutting my family's hair for the past 10 plus years. I've always walked out amazed with the color they were able to achieve at my request (lilacs & merlot) and my haircuts have always been beautiful. They are a staple in our family and will continue to be! read more

Studio Sublime - Tina cut and color with balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

I was in town for a wedding and needed to find a hair salon. I booked an appointment for 9am and the wedding ceremony started at 5pm which was fine. I forgot her name, but she is one of the daughters of the salon and she did an excellent job! I loved how my hair turned out. I wanted to have my hair down for the wedding and it held incredibly well. I went for the loose curls and everyone complimented me. I highly recommend! read more

Studio Sublime - Loose curls done by the daughter of the salon (forgot her name!) - Hair Salons Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Tina was great, loved my cut and style, but the best part is the mini massage she did when she washed my hair. Very nice, going back again.

From the second you walk in until you leave you feel welcomed. They actually listen to what you want. My young daughter and myself both see Kailyn and love her. She's extremely patient with my 8yr old and does an amazing job! And Kailyn's color talent is unmatched . read more

Studio Sublime - Finally a blonde - Hair Salons Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Mia was so great! I was nervous to find a new place in Hickory, since my usual gal was booked for a few months solid. Glad to say this is my new place. I had a lot of hair, and I wanted a balayage done. Mia was considerate, offered me water and always made sure I was comfortable. She was attentive and asked tons of questions regarding color, length and trimming style. The atmosphere of this place was comfortable! It didn't feel like a franchise but I did not feel awkward or too underdressed or anything. I felt like i fit in, even though it was my first time. Overall it took about 4 hours and i feel somewhat guilty for taking such a large chunk of her time, but her hard work really paid off. My hair looks amazing!! Also this studio is conveniently located, easy to find and parking is never a hassles. If you go ask for Mia, she's so sweet you won't regret! read more

I'm new to the area and was having some anxiety about choosing a salon. If you are feeling anything similar, search no further. It was a really wonderful experience. I felt like I got the treatment of a large luxury salon in a small personal setting. I'd like to pay just to go and have them shampoo my hair. SO relaxing. read more

Always happy with my cut and color. Kaylin is amazing!!!! But what is awesome are the sinks. Normally you end up with a sore neck because of the way they're designed. But their sinks have an incline you just lay in to. No sore neck and so comfortable. It's one of those little touches that makes a big difference. read more

I happened upon this salon by accident. (walking past going for frozen yogurt) So I made myself an appointment with Dorian. He is a miracle worker. My hair was in desperate need of help. He gave me a transformation. Cut and color. Red ombre. Amazing!!!! I get compliments everywhere I go. Dorian is fantastic!!! I love him and the staff. Everyone there is so nice. I highly recommend it!! read more

I couldn't believe this salon had an African American stylist who could do my natural hair but they do! Thank God for Ne Ne who knows how to do natural hair styles or straighten natural hair. I'm new to the area and am so happy to get high quality styling so far from Charlotte. And they serve wine! #winning read more

Studio Sublime - Hair Salons Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Came here after having an amazing experience at a Paul Mitchell salon in Savannah, GA and finding them on the PM salon locator. For the most part the staff were all very warm and friendly. I brought the formula the stylist in Savannah did (or close to what she could remember while calling me out of the office) and was slightly nervous when my stylist here seemed stumped; the owner helped her out through most of the appointment so I felt relieved. Overall I really liked the (super cute and very sharp) salon and staff. VERY affordable (compared to the same service being done in Savannah or downtown Charlotte) New salon and mixed stylist experience. Would definitely recommend giving them a chance! Absolutely love Tina and her amazing work! THANK YALL!! read more

I absolutely love Studio Sublime and all the very talented hair stylists that work there! The atmosphere is incredibly warm & inviting. It's a place I can relax & feel taken care of when I walk in to get my hair done! A special Thank You to Dorian, who makes me feel like a beautiful woman every times he re-invents my hair style! I love you ALL! read more

Studio Sublime - Dorian's latest creation! - Hair Salons Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

I was in quite the desperate need of a salon! We recently moved from Dallas, TX to Maiden, NC. I am accustomed to having my hair maintained with either a cut, root touch-up, highlights or just something totally new, typically every 8-10 weeks. Finding a new salon - more importantly - a new stylist, is a big deal for me. After several, long months of searching online, reading reviews, looking at client pics, I finally decided on Studio Sublime and chose Kailyn Miles as my stylist. I solely relied on reviews and before/after pics in choosing this salon. My hard work certainly paid off! I was extremely impressed with the decor and general "vibe" of the salon. Every staff member was dressed appropriately and in the classic black uniforms. I was promptly greeted and offered a beverage. When my stylist, Kailyn, came out and introduced herself, she asked me what I was wanting to achieve during my appointment. After a great and thorough consultation, she began working on assembling her tools and mixing color, etc. She talked with me through each process, asking me guiding questions that would help her better identity what my vision was and how she could achieve the results I desired. Her extensive and professional training were clearly evident. Kailyn conducted the entire visit with poise and professionalism. When she turned my chair around to show me the final result, I was more than pleased! She did an amazing job with deciphering my vision! I have now been there twice and even brought my mother in for a haircut with Tina. My mother's hair has never looked so good and she booked her next 6 week appointment! If you've been searching for a new salon because of a move, or are simply not happy with your current salon and the unprofessionalism shown to you, then you need not look any further. Studio Sublime is THAT salon you've been searching for! read more

My hair looks better than ever after going to this place! I got a cut and style and a free glass of wine for a great deal. I would definitely recommend this salon, especially Kelsey. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. read more

I will never go here I made an appointment for 3:45 p.m. on August 8th my birthday by the way I was not seeing till after 4 p.m. the girl that went to cut my hair had no clue how to do a haircut she continuously ask for assistance and received little to no help I took a picture of what I wanted my haircut to be like and my driver's license where I had had this haircut before and it took them till 7 p.m. to give me a haircut nothing like I asked they did not style it and then they proceeded to charge me when I complained the manager put the blame on me read more

Great experience! The salon is designed very well and the shampoo bowl area is fantastic! The whole vibe is very comfortable and clean. The stylists are knowledgeable and friendly. I'm transitioning from my natural hair color to a strawberry blonde and I'm really happy with what was accomplished during the first appointment! 10/10 recommend this salon! read more

My husband and I decided to try the salon after reviewing all of the yelp reviews. I must say this is the best salon I have been to in a long time. The stylist I had was Tina and she did a remarkable job on my hair. She took her time and gave an awesome massage while washing my hair. My husband had kailyn who fixed his hair from a previous stylist he went to. I can say his hair looks better and he is as handsome as ever. I can say I have found the permanent salon for my husband and I. Thanks so much for making us feel comfortable in your salon. read more

One of the best haircuts I've ever had but...Where's Dorian! I've had my haircut twice since he's gone and it's just not the same. He's on a whole different level! If anyone knows where he's gone PLEASE let me know. read more

This place was awesome. They took me in the same day I called for an appointment, about two hours later. NeNe was my stylist and I couldn't be happier with the ombré she did on my long, super thick, red hair. It looks amazing and very well transitioned into blonde!!! Nice layered cut too. Not choppy at all! I will definitely be back!! read more

I am new to the area and was recommended this salon by a co-worker. I must say that it is by far the best salon I have ever been to. The stylists are extremely friendly and they really listen to what it is you want done with your hair. My stylist was one of the best and we talked like we had been friends for years. My overall experience was amazing and I will definitely be returning in the future. I highly recommend Studio Sublime. read more

I was looking for a hair salon to get my hair done I wanted it dyed from dark brown to blonde. My fiancé found this salon online and told me it seemed like a good salon. I figured I try it. The woman who did my hair was very nice and did a wonderful job. She didn't take my hair that platinum of a blonde color that I wanted but she told me she didn't want to ruin my hair but still she took it to a dirty blonde it looked great. I am going next week again to take it a bit lighter. Wonderful job and nice staff. read more

I don't even know where to begin. The consultation means nothing. Basically, no matter what you ask or show the stylist, he or she will do what he or she wants. They make it seem like they don't have any secrets because of their "open color bar" or whatever, but unless you're a stylist yourself you won't know what they're doing. Even if they show you a swatch, they'll mix something they think is better for you and tell you after they've applied it. Or worse, show you a color and lie about how it will turn out. I realize that color takes differently to different hair, but in my experience, this was a flat out lie. And it's not like they'll pretend they did exactly what you asked of them, oh no! Once it's dry, they'll say something like, "I knew what was better for you. And you wanted color similar to that picture HA!" Also, no one even taught them how to brush hair. They'll rake through it from top to bottom like a three year old and wonder why your hair is giving them such a hard time and tangling at the ends. And they'll bluntly insult you. I was asked how long it took me to curl my hair, and the stylist chuckled and said "probably because you don't know what you're doing." Then it took the stylist the same amount of time to do it as I do! (Yes I timed it!) To top it off, it'll cost you an arm and a leg- more expensive than Charlotte salons! (And they flat out ask you before they do anything how much you want to spend. Like, no. You're supposed to have a price, I pay that, we don't haggle in the hair salon.) And when you tell them it wasn't even close to what you expected and you don't like the color, they want to make another appointment- full charge. I've never been a box dye person, but I have never wanted a nice natural dark brown as much as I do now. Needless to say, unless you're extremely and painfully blunt in the consultation and remind the stylist at every moment what you want exactly, you'll probably leave with a monstrosity that will take months to fade into something you can dye over. read more

Okay so I was going to try this new salon out but I have heard really bad thing about this particular salon, I have people telling me that the hairstylist are not nice at all, they never give you the correct haircuts or they mess up on the color ALL THE TIME, the owner I heard is REALLY SHADY and treats people "like shit", and also the owner only favors one stylist and that's her daughter Kaylin? I definitely wouldn't recommend this if your looking for a good experience. read more

Never going back again. They used to have an awesome hairstylist that did a great job on my hair. She left and today I spent 6 hours for my hair to look the same as when I went in and not even blow dried. AWFUL experience! read more

First time here. Came in for highlights. Nene was my stylist. She was so sweet and took her time to look at my hair and decide which was the best option for me. I really liked how the stylists consulted with each other before she colored my hair. I was offered water, wine or a mimosa. She also massaged my scalp, shoulders and hands. This place is a little pricey for me but I loved it. I will definitely be back. read more

Studio Sublime is Awesome! The staff is very knowledgeable and skilled in the art of hair. Dorian does an amazing job, I can't say enough good things; and Tina the owner, is an absolute joy! The salon is clean and has all the most up to date decor and styling tools. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable, an absolute pleasure. The pricing is on point, no overcharging like in bigger cities. I would recommend this salon to everyone!!! read more

The first time I visited this place, to get highliths the result was decent, not what I wanted, but at least a little ok, I decided to give it a second chance, this time I went to get balayage / highlights, the end result was very bad, This salon does not have Hairstylist professional enough for the price they charge. I find that this salon has the same level of hairdressers as Sport Clip and SmartStyle Hair Salon (Walmart). Do not be fooled by the name "Paul Mitchell" read more

I had an exceptional experience at Studio Sublime. Tina was my stylist. We talked and looked at pictures until we were both sure of the haircut I wanted. My appointment began with the most amazing shampoo, head and neck massage. It was so relaxing and peaceful. Tina is an expert stylist. She cut my hair from a short bob to a pixie with long bangs. I am so pleased with my new look! I am new to NC and have visited many high end salons in NYC always searching for the perfect stylist. Salon Sublime exceeded my expectations. Tina is attentive and talented. She truly cares about her clients. I look forward to a long relationship with Salon Sublime. read more

Actually came here based on other reviews on Yelp. It was incredible! NeNe did such an amazing job with my hair! I will definitely be returning. It was amazing and I would recommend it to all my friends. read more
