I had my hair highlighted for the first time yesterday by Jessica Lee and I am SO happy with how it…read moreturned out! She did an amazing job! It usually takes several times with a stylist to achieve the color/lightness/tone that I desire and Jessica nailed it on the first try! Not only is she talented with color, but she gave me an awesome haircut as well. Jessica has such a pleasant personality and made everything feel so comfortable and relaxing. I loved visiting her and look forward to the next time! I also wanted to note that I have always had positive experiences at Menagerie. The owner, Kiki, is wonderful, too, and a master in her trade. she makes great hiring decisions and runs her business well. The salon always feels like it has positive vibes and Kiki does a great job overseeing everyone's work and providing excellent feedback and education. Appointments book up quickly, but I have always had good experiences with whoever is able to get me in when I need it. I highly recommend this salon and feel lucky to live close by in Wendell Falls.

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.

On Saturday, March 20, 2021 I went to the salon and the woman inside the shop did not ask as to why I am standing outside. Called again and spoke with Patricia in which she asked for my phone number. Received a text from Patricia today, March 22, 2021 asking me to text my name, email and time I would like to come in in which I did. I sent text telling Patricia what hair services I wanted and asked about the cost. Patricia told me that when my hair appointment is scheduled, the system will send a notification which will include cost estimate. She also stated that she cannot do a phone quote on what she doesn't know what she is looking at. I asked Patricia if I come in at 6:00 a.m. will she be finished by 10:00 a.m. as I had an appointment in North Raleigh. She stated yes. I also asked her does she have a cool setting on the blow dryer. Patricia told me "I'm a professional of over 30 years. I don't usually do all this ask and forth texting. I will see you for your appointment where we can discuss your service." I responded to Patricia by stating that "I'm sure you are a professional woman with years of experience. However, I called the shop twice. I also left a voice message that I did not get a response. On Saturday, I went to the shop and called again. That's when you answered the phone. I suggest you take tips on how to be more professional." Patricia then responded back by saying "You know I was coming in on my day off to accommodate you tomorrow. But I think a stylist that is less busy would be a better fit for you. Good luck in your search." From looking at the three reviews from 2017 and 2018, I see why business at this hair salon is very slow. No customers since 2018? Word of advice to Patricia at Your Time Hair Care Salon. Unless you a celebrity stylist, your business is customer-based, you will be more successful if you learn professional etiquette in dealing with potential new customers. I suggest you you learn from this experience because negative word of mouth can be detrimental to your business.

I grew up in Raleigh but lived for years in NYC.

I have always scheduled with Claire- she has taken me all over the cut and color spectrum and now keepsmy long layers like I like them, with lots of ombré highlights (which I am loving so much). I'll post a pic to yelp. Side note- My stylist (aforementioned Claire Ashby) is a jeweler/metalsmith and I've recently fallen hard for her stuff. Rocks, copper, sterling, enamel...love it.

Claire has been cutting and coloring my hair for 4-5 years now. First of all, I just like her, and…read moreshe's definitely become a friend over the time she's been cutting my hair. She's been around Raleigh a long time, so she knows what's going on and is just a cool person. As a hairdresser, she knows what to do with my hair. I have wavy/curly fine yet very thick hair. It's a dark ash blonde naturally, and in the past year, I'm starting to get more grey. She is great with curls. In fact, I probably have 10-15 friends with curly hair who also go to Claire because of her reputation for knowing what to do with curly hair. I have her cut it so I don't have to do much to it afterwards. Claire also knows how to color my hair. She's very flexible about what I need. If I tell her I'm broke, so it needs to last a while, she does more fine subtle highlights. If I'm able to come in more regularly, she can really make it pop (if that's what I want). I've learned that she is more conservative with how she cuts. So she'll never go in and assume you want any more cut than you've said. In fact, I've had to say, "Go ahead! Be more drastic!" Honestly, this is such a better a problem than the opposite, and I really appreciate that. Too much cut when that's not what you want can be a scary thing. That will never happen with Claire. The studio is on a quiet little bend in a street in Boylan Heights. It's a very relaxing place to sit and chat while you have your hair done. I imagine I'll be going to see Claire at Boylan Heights as long as it's possible. BTW, I know some non-curly folks who go to Claire, too. She can do that, but curls are her specialty.
