This place completely cheated out a single mom out of her money and self esteem. For the people who aren't aware. A single mom saved up 2 years on minimum wage to get her hair done here and feel good about herself. She left this place with her hair completely burnt and chunks missing because the stylist couldn't figure out to not perm over box dye. (Which was disclosed to the stylist before the treatment). And if that wasn't enough, the treatment of this poor woman trying to get her money back is despicable. She has been consistently ignored and refused by the stylist and this salons manager to help in anyway. This salon and its stylists show no accountability for their mistakes or actions. I do not support this treatment of customers, women, more importantly a single mom. Do better VSACB!

I saw the video of this client crying after her hair was severely damaged from a perm, and honestly this situation is extremely upsetting. What makes it worse is that she apparently told Ashlan beforehand that she had box dye in her hair, yet the perm was still performed. If a stylist knows a client has previous box dye or chemical history, they should be properly assessing the hair and explaining the risks before proceeding. Hair can be unpredictable, but when something goes wrong, the professional should take accountability and communicate with the client instead of being rude or ignoring her. It is especially disappointing when your bio says you enjoy helping clients bring their vision to life. Clients trust stylists with their hair and deserve to feel heard, respected, and safe. This situation should have been handled with much more professionalism and accountability.

This is a client of Ashlan Argo's. She attempted to do a perm, then fried her hair and refused to give a refund and just hung up on her!

Def seek out this salon and Ashlan Argo if you want your hair completely FRIED and looking like sh!t. Clearly they care so much about their clients that they not only don't know what they are doing, but they will butcher your hair, and then not provide a refund or do anything to help resolve this. You should close your salon and get a job at McDonald's. What a disgrace. And she had the audacity to charge her $200!!!!!!!! Then when Milly reached out, she said she doesn't do refunds and hung up on her. Ashlan needs her license revoked. Do yourself a favor and look through the other photos on Yelp reviews because they are just as terrible! Can't even do a simple straight cut?!

I went for a consultation (what was supposed to be one of 5 over the weekend.) You may have seen my…read moreother review for a high profile expensive salon that over processed my bra-strap length natural hair to the point that I was told to shave my head then let it grow two more months then shave again! Needless to say I am extremely apprehensive about my hair. Tesha was warm, friendly, supportive, and professional. She doesn't push any agenda or make you feel "bad" about choosing a hairstyle that fits your lifestyle. Whether relaxed, natural, or extensions she will talk to you and explain each option and how it will work (or may be difficult) based on YOU (your hair texture, hair health, and lifestyle.) She is a former nurse with a specialized degree in hair loss and scalp health. I have had problems with Psoriasis on my scalp (which was why I went natural in the first place) so I felt extremely at ease and grateful that she has the medical background she does. Right away she explained my hair was actually as damaged as I thought (from a BKT in March. But that my hair was healthy, in need of a good trim, and was strong as evidence by little breaking or shedding. I expressed my need for a less time consuming style as a new wife and step-mother to three who now commutes 2.5 hours a day! Long story short Tesha cares about your hair/scalp being healthy and looking good. I liked her so much I canceled my other consults and have an appointment with her Wednesday. I will be sure to update after my appointment for a texturizer (relaxer 1/4 the normal strength), re-constructive treatment, cut, & style. UPDATE - 9/13/16: I received my treatment last week. Tesha, was on time and began on me right away, about 10 minutes early. While working the product through my hair I was surprised I had no burning at all. I had some very mild irritation as I was being washed out on my hairline (which I knew I had scratched that area the day before.) The product was not left on long and it was not "relaxed" bone straight. It has been almost a week and despite high humidity, working out 4 days, and not putting additional heat my hair has not reverted. I got 3-4 inches trimmed but think I will be back for a more layered asymmetrical cut (I love body and big hair!) I highly recommend Tesha, in fact I am setting up a consult for my 17 year-old step-daughter who is very wary of new stylists; she has only had her Uncle EVER touch her hair. I had a very positive experience and plan to be a long term customer.

Lisa is great. She cuts my hair when I'm ready and she's always there for me. She has cut my…read moregranddaughter's hair and my sisters. They were very very happy with her. Please try it out.

I was charged for the corrective toner even though I scheduled my appointment within the two week color guaranteed period. They have beautiful pictures on their website but that is not what you will leave with. I have now spent over $500, including tip and parking, and yet still have horrible brassy hair. When I reached out for help, I was quoted another $286 for one of their "blonde specialists" to fix my hair. Originally googled the best colorist in Raleigh and could not be more disappointed on top of being out $500. Wish I could give zero stars.

DO NOT come here if you are a guy who spends money on your hair. Seriously. These people royally…read morescrewed up my hair and had zero self-awareness or common sense to just look at it and see that. I have a simple haircut that works for the shape of my head and deals with my cowlicks for years. I explained this in the consult and showed photo references several times to the hairstylist, and I should have recognised this pattern early because I told her I had just washed my hair like 2 hours prior so I don't need to do that again, and after the cape goes on she has me go over there and does it anyway. Zero listening or comprehension skills. Another creative way to describe the disaster is, it looks like I came in with vastly unrealistic expectations based on photo references that don't match the shape of my head - except all the photo references ARE OF MY OWN PAST HAIRCUTS DONE ON MY OWN HEAD. I opened with an ask for a trim and came out of this place looking like a drug addict from a trailer park. I'm too self-conscious and judgemental to tell in the salon (and what am I gonna do anyway, have them glue my messed up hair back on?) not to mention conflict-averse because at this point I've acquired serious anxiety with hairdressers from how many times I've had someone mess it up. To be specific, I had basic layering/tapering maintained here and my length was just getting a bit too heavy. I also have a previous haircut disaster that I'm trying to fix from when my last hairstylist insisted on cutting this godawful V-shaped taper in the back of my neck that destroyed my natural hairline - I made the hairstylist aware of this. She didn't do anything to it at all and it still is sticking out looking lazy and unkempt just as it did when I walked in. Is a hairdresser not able to comprehend the nuance of "hey the last person messed this up, but I don't want it to be sticking out either so just try to handle it to get it back to where it should be?" Whatever layering I had has been obliterated. I lost no hair on the back of my head and a ton off the top of my head, utterly destroying the sense of balance my hair created for my large cranium. The huge chunk of hair she hacked out of the front left side of my head makes it look like my hair is falling out! It looks God awful, I am horrified and ashamed to go outside because of what these people did to my hair. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BUSINESSES THAT DO NOT RUN ON COMPETENCE OR COMMON SENSE. Avoid it like the Black Plague. I can throw $50 down the drain but I can't get my hair back to where it was. If I can't find a better place then I'm literally going to have to fly around the world to pay $20 to the random guy in Indonesia who did a good job six months ago. EDIT: The response to this review is more proof than the haircut that everything I said about this place is accurate and then some. FWIW, they did leave a voicemail and tried to ask if I could come back in so they could "fix it", which is not how haircuts work. No mention of refunds for the damage, no coupon, and no apology, so to think that was done in good faith is not reasonable. As for the personal attacks towards me running for federal office, yes, I ran precisely because there are too many people with money & power who are vicious, lying cowards and understood that Congress would be an excellent place to put that kind of thing out to pasture. It's a shame I didn't win because we could clearly still use this attitude of mine in light of circumstances like this! Thanks for nothing though!

Thought I would attempt hair extensions. The stylist helped choose the color and curl pattern and…read moreplaced the order. Unfortunately, due to a medical condition, my MD told me it would not be a good idea for my scalp and may cause worsening problems. Keep in mind the product never left the salon. I called before the install date and explained that my doctor does not recommend this for me. The owner would not get on the phone to discuss the cancellation. She left all the discussion up to the receptionist, who had no clue what to do or say to me. The salon refused to send the extensions back to the manufacturer and insisted that I pay for the entire product. They tried to tell me that it was a special order. When, in fact, the order was out of the online catalog. They took $1000 from me and refused to refund my money. Now I am stuck with $1000 hair extensions that I can never use. The Salon did not demonstrate basic empathy or flexibility toward my medical situation. I will be contacting the state board of cosmetology as well as the state attorney general/consumer office to fight this wrong. For these reasons, I do not recommend this salon. They only want your money and don't really care about your situation or self-esteem. I am sorry to leave my stylist; she was wonderful.
