Do yourself a favor and get your next haircut at Arrow Studio. It's in a prime location in downtown…read moreDurham, and has a chic, open feel that reminds me of New York City (which is where the owners are from). The waiting area has a gigantic chandelier, and the front desk is made from a wooden art piece that also serves as a product shelf and changing rooms-- you have to see it to believe it. But you can't mention Arrow Studio without talking about how fantastic Tiffany is. She used to cut my hair at her last employer before opening Arrow Studio, and I happily followed her, even though my drive is a bit longer now. It's worth it. Arrow Studio has custom-designed units at each haircut station that houses all the stylists' equipment, but also has a pull-out shelf for any personal items you bring (sunglasses, cell phone, etc.). There's also a coat rack near the front, which seems mundane, but I can't remember the last time I went to get a haircut and actually had someone take my coat. It's the little details that matter. The biggest downside is that parking in downtown Durham can be a doozy. But don't worry! There are two parking decks right beside Arrow, and you can get your ticket validated after your haircut. Check out Arrow Studio next time you need a haircut, coloring or styling. It's a much-welcomed addition to the blossoming downtown Durham homegrown business scene.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about this place! I am from NYC, and was visiting my…read moreparents for the weekend, and had originally booked somewhere else in Durham to do a dry cut and balayage and was called 45 mins before my appointment to be told it was cancelled. After doing some research, I called Arrow when it first opened at 9am to see if they could squeeze me in that day and lo and behold, they had space! My appointment was with Alex who is a Level 1 but honestly, if I didn't know that going into the appointment, I would have never known. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, was super understanding and made me feel so comfortable in her chair. When it came to my cut, I had asked to dry cut it (I have naturally curly hair and I prefer stylists to cut it when it's straightened as that's how I normally have it styled), and it turned out perfectly. She kept my length, cut off the dry ends and it looks exactly as I want it to. The color - literally WOW. I have dark hair and I wanted something subtle and natural but still fun, and she did just that. I have never left any salon so happy and thrilled with how my hair looks. Alex, you are a gem and so fun to spend 3 hours with! My hair turned out so well, I will literally fly in from New York just to have her do it again. And my mom was so impressed that she's found her new spot (and a new stylist!) Thank goodness my other appointment got cancelled, I would have never found this amazing place!

She is located inside of Sola Studios in MacGregor Village.

She never rushes you out of her chair and is a perfectionist when it comes to the cut.

I considered going to Cary, as there are more salons and hairstylists that specialize in Asian hair, but I was hesitant from previous mediocre experiences. After reaching out, I was eager but slightly nervous. I messaged my inspo pics and the current state of my hair, and was able to easily set up an appointment for just a few days later. I'm incredibly satisfied with the level of care, skill, and attention to my hair, and I felt very welcomed. The cut I received is also stellar. Huge plus that it's conveniently located in Durham. I highly recommend for perms, cuts, and more. Thank you Sunny & Crew Hair Service!

As mentioned in other reviews, she is very good with Asian hair. Since the pandemic, my husband has grown his 'do to the point where he looks like a Korean actor - and Sunny knows how to cut and style it like so! While my son can't sit still by himself on the chair, she is willing to let me sit him on my lap with my phone so she can cut. My son's hair looks great and cleaned up! And best of all, she accepts mobile / contactless payments, making it really easy to transact with her after your cut is finished. She is very good about social distancing - she schedules her clients with enough time in between to avoid overlaps, and everyone at the salon wears a mask.
