    It's always been hard to find someone who can cut curly hair. After having relocated to the area, my former stylist in Dallas, TX recommended Mel. I am so glad that I went to see her. She was amazing and very spot on with the haircut. Showed her a picture of what I was trying to go for and she delivered. I loved how she talked about the desired style and how my hair would be with the cut and how she would do some adjustments to give me what I would like. The salon is a cute place with ample parking. Friendly staff and a clean space. I am not going to look anywhere else for a haircut as long as I live here.

    This review is for the Crystal. I did a Yelp search for a local salon and The Collective had wonderful reviews. I was pleasantly surprised when the scheduling site reflected last minute openings and I booked an appt same day. Crystal was friendly and understood what I wanted and I was able to share a photo of what I was seeking. She communicated the entire time and shared that they are able to help refresh or do fashion colors should I want to explore those options with them. She asked about weekend plans and offered to do a style that would hold up for my evening plans for my partners bday. I really appreciated the kindness and consideration. Ask for Crystal if you want a friendly stylist who listens and provides fabulous results :)

    Visited The Collective wanting to try something new but unsure of how and what it would look like, Randy & Melanie met & exceeded my expectations. They have a wonderful salon, both awesome people, and mostly importantly they know what they are doing. LOVE MY HAIR! Check out the before & after. Night and day difference.

    I absolutely loved my experience. First of all, I felt like family the second I walked through the door. The prices are super comparable and for the basic cut you also get a wash and style where it's usually added costs at competitors. Crystal kept the conversation going so there was no awkward silences. Best of all, my hair looks amazing.

    Worst hair color experience with Olivia…read more I had a very disappointing experience with Olivia. I was very clear before starting that the last time her twin colored my hair, I liked the shade and wanted it lighter or the same -- absolutely not darker. At the salon, when my hair was washed, I asked her if it looked dark. She said it was totally fine. I assumed the salon lighting or my eyesight might be misleading me. I didn't even ask for a blow-dry -- just a simple curl product -- but she spent less than a minute on it, which felt careless. Another red flag was that I asked her to color my eyebrows, yet at the end I noticed multiple color stains left on my face. She didn't mention them; I had to point them out myself and remove them. At the time, these issues were frustrating but manageable. The real problem became clear after I got home and washed my hair several times. My hair color is much darker than requested, and it's obvious the color was ruined. Looking back, I now believe she noticed the darkening issue but didn't acknowledge it. Fixing hair that's been colored too dark is not easy, and now I'm left dealing with the consequences of her mistake. Overall, this was a careless and unprofessional experience, and I would not recommend her for hair coloring.

Beverages are offered and they use great products. However my second visit was just a few days ago with Sarah. What I asked for I got the complete opposite. She gave me a blow out so my hair looked beautiful leaving but the next day washing it seeing my natural waves and curls and really inspecting the cut. I look a bit chopped. The front was not face framing instead she gave me 4 steps. The front is uneven and choppy as heck. My hair is gone so no way to fix that and wouldn't trust her to fix it tbh so I have to take an expensive loss. I cried all night yesterday just looking at the front pieces. Just embarrassing. I paid a lot and tipped very well just for it to look like an amateur cut my hair. Don't come here. I regret coming here as I looked better with my dead ends. I could've cut my own hair better which I have. This was supposed to be a pick me up to make me feel beautiful now 2 days later I am in regret not feeling like how I should and wanted. Sooooo expensive and terrible results. Also they could've been friendlier. I felt she got tired blow drying my hair. They are supposed to be knowledgeable in long, thick hair, curly hair, wavy hair. I wanted to choose this stylist due to her good reviews but I really cannot recommend her or this salon. I don't like leaving bad reviews but I am distraught. Don't come here as you will cry tears of sadness not joy.

Also, the color is a-symmetrical, one side has more blonde, and the other, more red. Turned out so cool! The cut - usually, I think my hair looks better worn up, but since Amy has been cutting it, I love wearing it down. Finally, she is so friendly and a joy to chat with. Amy has been doing my hair for awhile, but she just started at Kitty Hawk. What a cool space, easy to find, easy free parking and the shop is really cute and clean! Get your buns in Amy's chair! :)
