I've been seeing my stylist Amber since September 2024 and go every 5 weeks she is amazing and listens to all the concerns or interests. We set realistic goals from going to Box black for 19 years to a beautiful balayage read more

Have been going here since before they changed locations to the current location. Appointment scheduling is super easy and the stylists are all excellent. Though I am partial to Shay. She does a fantastic men's haircut and does not rush. Great location, price is right, and the vibe is immaculate. read more

I am so happy I found this place! I'm new to area and this place was an absolute gem of a find. Laura and Jessica were amazing and kindly answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable at this salon, genuine people and I would recommend this place to anyone! =) read more

This is the best salon you can go to in New Bern! I highly recommend it!! The owner is so kind and caring. If you ever have issues she listens and finds an appropriate solution. Can't thank her enough for making my experience amazing! read more

I'm new to the area and I was nervous about finding a hair stylist and I'm so glad I found this place. I was able to book an appointment online with Laura on a Saturday. The shop entrance is next to the Black Cat shoppe and you go upstairs and all the way to the back of the building. I parked in one of the free all day city parking lot which was nearby. Laura was very welcoming and the salon was very clean and quiet. She listened to what I wanted done and my hair came out exactly how I wanted it. Laura has a welcoming aura and I felt comfortable the whole time. Her pricing is decent and I will definitely be coming back. read more

I made an appointment with Laura Lane THE OWNER, for October 18th 2024 to get my son's hair bleached and corrected. We got there early to check in and were informed she wasn't working today. The woman who was working seemed to try to get in touch with her and had no luck. She apologized repeatedly and attempted to reschedule. I told her it wasn't her fault but, we wouldn't be back. I understand things come up and you may need to cancel but to allow an appointment to be made on a day she wasn't there and not notifying me as soon as she could is just bad business. 0/5 if I could give it. Very disappointed. read more

I cannot express how deeply upset I am after my first experience with The Salon on Middle. When setting up my appointment online I scheduled with Jennifer for a Saturday and left a pretty detailed description of what I wanted done and outlined what I had previously done to my hair. About 30 mins before my appointment I get a text from one of Jennifer's coworkers saying she is out sick and will need to reschedule, life happens! No big deal. When Jennifer was back at work she called and we rescheduled for the following Saturday. That Saturday rolls around and again, I get a call about their shampoo bowls being out. Again, things happen. I'm rescheduled now to the following Monday later in the evening. I show up to the salon and Jennifer is the only other person in the salon, I show her NUMEROUS inspiration pictures (gave her my whole phone that had 15 saved photos) all with the same color style: black with a very noticeable "blonde" money piece with little peekaboo pieces throughout. She tells me she will most likely be able to get the blonde pieces as light as the reference photos even after I told her I pull brassy and I'm not expecting to be as light as the photos... she foiled the blonde pieces then did an all over black "stain" (still not exactly sure what that is but yea) on the remaining hair. During processing obviously there's not much to be done so she had stepped out for a cig but did not wash her hands when she came back in then washed my blonde and color out without shampooing so I smelled like cigarettes. Less than ideal being that I am pregnant. Back in the chair she starts to blow dry and explain that the black touched the blonde and stained it... after blow drying my hair is blue... BLUE! She said just wash it it'll act as a toner and wash out grey blonde... I (not being a stylist of 23+ years) believed her and she gave me her card to schedule getting it fixed if it didn't wash out. IT DIDNT WASH OUT. So 2 washes later (as prescribed) I message her that I will need it fixed ASAP. I'm scheduled for the following Friday late in the evening again. Friday rolls around she tells me she's not feeling well and leaving early again and moves me to Saturday. I obliged obviously, health matters.... Friday night I ask twice for a time for Saturday. No response. Saturday morning I ask for a time, she won't be in until noon. I message her at noon, she's not in yet. I call at 1:45, no answer, leave a voicemail. Call the salon, no answer. I call her, no answer I call the salon again, no answer, leave a voicemail. Needless to say at this point I'm so insanely furious that I not only have blue F***ING hair but also not a soul is answering to get me scheduled to get fixed... finally I call her directly and she answers tells me "well I'm not at a stopping point..." then proceeds to finally give me a time to be there. Yippy. I show up, she says she's gonna color strip the blue and go from there. Somehow, on virgin hair (from my roots to my jaw, everything after that she knew had been dyed before over a year ago) my hair turned PINK NEON PINK. I was then asked if I take a prenatal because I'm very obviously pregnant and we knew this info before getting into anything at all. I'm blamed for me being pregnant when there shouldn't have been blue in the blonde in the first place so her solution was to turn my WHOLE HEAD back to brown with ATROCIOUS red brown highlights in the front and when I told her it all looked brown again anyway she said it's not that the "black" is still there... basically I paid $210 for her to cut bangs, (which she did a great job on the cut, no hate for that...)and chemically make my hair 30 different colors in a week just for it to end up the same color I came in with but with a slight terrible red tinge to my bangs... I'm disappointed and distraught. It takes a lot for my to make beauty appointments but when I do make an appointment with a paid professional in a professional salon I would expect them to 1. Know what's going on 2. Act professionally and 3. Not blame their customer for their mistake then offer a $50 credit to my next visit??? I appreciate the attempt but I will most certainly not be back EVER. My hair looks worse than when I came in, I look like I did it myself. read more

I made an appointment several days ago for this morning, 11am. I had been informed that if I needed to cancel, 24 hours notice was required so the stylist could book another client. Very fair. I received 3 messages to confirm my appointment. Which I promptly completed. I arrived on time. Evidently, my stylist was the proprietor. I waited 45 minutes. The gal never showed within that 45 minutes. She did not call the shop to update any of her staff. One girl called and texted to get an ETA. No response. Very disappointing and unprofessional. Especially for the owner. read more

Hannah did a great job on my hair, and managed to reverse the damage another salon had done in the process. She was able to cut my hair in a way that I did not lose a ton of length, but got rid of a lot of the damage. read more

I absolutely love Amber! She gave me one of the best cuts I have ever had. She listened to me and delivered. I was also able to get my hair cut after work. I could get the family fed and then have some "me" time. Thank you Amber!!!!!!! read more

WOW-Laura was AMAZING!!!!! Hands down, best style Ever. I'm new to the area and took a chance on her salon...She took her time and gave me a Fabulous Balayage style-the best I've had in over 20 years of having my hair styled and was very pleasant company.

Still, the best salon in town! I have my appointments booked out until the end of 2023. I couldn't recommend The Salon on Middle more. My hair is always perfect, when I leave. If Laura is ever running behind even by 10 minutes she'll let me know hours in advance. The salon is my place to sit, relax, shoot the bull and it's always a day I look forward to every month. Love all of you guys! read more

I moved to the Havelock area end of 2020 and was searching for a great salon. I've tried other places and it just didn't fit. I found Salon on Middle on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm so happy I did! It's a really cute and clean place in a perfect location. Jen has done an amazing job on my cut and I am so thankful for that. I feel like anything I have done in the future is going to be amazing! Thank you for such great experiences. read more

Upon arrival today, I am informed that my stylist Laura, the salon owner was not there for my scheduled appointment, that she is out of the state. No record of call, text or email. I did receive the appointment confirmation yesterday via text and email so my contact information was correct. How does the owner of a salon forget a clients appointment scheduled two months out. Her staff felt zero remorse that I drove 3 hours round trip to be dismissed and ignored. People should not be treated as second class citizens and that is exactly what Laura and her Salon on Middle did to a loyal customer. Should be ashamed of themselves. read more

Loved this salon and the artwork was cool too, great vibe. Everyone was friendly and the overall service was great! I'm so glad I found this place and will be returning for all my hair needs. read more

Laura saved me after a hair cut disaster from another salon. It was pretty bad but she had my hair looking fantastic in no time. Laura is super talented and professional. After hiding my botched hair all weekend, I felt beautiful again when I walked out. Her salon is downtown and it's adorable. I will DEFINITELY be trusting my hair to her from now on! read more

Promised $70 job for hair coloring and it came out as a witch! Told me that I only need to pay $35 today and another $35 tomorrow when I come back because they could not get the right hair color or up to my satisfaction. The next day they charge me $60 again and told me that is our price. I was really surprised that they charge me $60 again for messing up my my hair badly and could not get the gold color I had asked for. Instead of the gold color most of the hair lines they colored in some type of grey color and made me look 15 years older than what I really am. Called and complained and the stylist told me to come back again and she would do it for free. Not sure if I will go back again because I know the results will be most likely the same. Very poor service!!! After spending $130 my hair looks all grey at the ends and made me look very old instead of the gold color they had promised me. Very unhappy customer! read more
