Love that this place is open on SUNDAYS!! Only place that I know that I can get my hair done on Sunday. I loved Clara and she can get my hair so straight and it actually lasts for days. read more

1: Spent 7 hrs just for color and highlights, owner doesn't respect appointments that were made, she will take a walk in and have you waiting. 2: I informed I didn't want to spend 3-400$ on highlights, she assured me that she was gonna give me a "good price". After spending the whole day she charged me $500, on top of that she damaged my hair by adding super blond streaks on my bangs, till this day they shred like cheese! :-/ Will never go back. read more

Went for a haircut and it was SO BAD :( had to go to another salon to correct it and it's still bad, she left me about 10 chopped layers in my short hair (some layers short and others long). Never again read more

The staff does an amazing job with my daughters hair each time she comes. Products they use are top quality but if you don't ask for it you won't get it. There is usually a wait if you don't get there when they open so plan ahead. Would be a five star but the prices do change for the same style and treatments. Bottom line - I trust them to take care of my daughters hair and will keep coming back. read more

This is my second time here to my surprise not only they remembered me by name but they also remembered everything about my last hair treatment 3 months ago! 'Yoli' is my stylist as soon as I walked in she smiled and called me to her seat I didn't even have to tell her what I needed she knew .... She's awesome :) read more

Went in on 12/26/20, came home for the holidays. I wanted a simple wash deep conditioning. The stylist talk me in to a "Silk press"! She burnt my natural hair. It will not go back to its natural state and it smells burnt every time I wet it. I am so disappointed. I don't know what she put in my hair but I will never go there again. I sent a message on FB messenger being no one will answer or responded. I am so upset. My hair was beautiful until I let her silk press it. Now I have to cut my hair off and start over. This is horrible!! I see this happened to someone else. Everytime I comb my hair it breaks!!! Start reading reviews!!! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Natural African-American ladies, stay far away from this place. I had been natural for 2.5 years before I went to this salon. My hair was long, full, and beautiful. After getting my hair done twice by them, I began to find patches of my hair completely broken off. I have never in my life dealt with hair breakage. What is most upsetting is that my hair no longer curls and it looks damaged unless I straighten it. I am convinced they put a perm in my hair without my consent. read more

I've been going to this salon for years, and there hasn't been a visit where I have left unhappy. Mrs. Yvelisse and her team are awesome, great and friendly and I just love the family feeling between them! read more

I got to the salon about 12:20 on a Saturday afternoon. There were plenty of customers, but I was still able to sit down and get helped right away. My stylist was Angie. She was very careful to make sure she was gentle with me and my ratty hair. She also thoroughly explained the different services that I was interested in. I heard the owner (I believe it was her) tell Angie to make sure that I was OK, comfortable, and that I was aware of different prices for different services. I actually came out looking pretty darned cute (I'm too short to be "hot"). I got tons of compliments on my hair and my eyebrows (Angie did both). The hair prices were reasonable for a salon in general but a bit high for the Charlotte Dominican Salon standard (which I gather from my previous experience at another salon and from my Dominican friends yelling at me for paying so much). Perhaps it was because of all the other services offered? I have never seen eyebrows for only $6 anywhere else though, so that is a definite plus for them. Remember to stop by an ATM on the way though. It's cash only here. Anything you want done, you can get it done here; highlights, cuts, perms, relaxers, eyebrows, manicures, pedicures... There were men and women, black people, white people, latin people... it was like a sequel to the Red House commercial. I was just waiting for Angie to tell me she liked pumping rollers into people's heads. The women were definitely more amicable than the men, but everyone (except for one woman) shot me at least one smile. I will definitely go back even if only for the eyebrows. read more

I called before I went and asked them for their prices for natural hair but I was told that I had to come in for her to look at my hair. So I went a little earlier and Yvelisse looked at my straight hair which is down my back and ran her fingers through I'm assuming to touch my roots. She told me it would be 50 bucks just off of that assessment. I was expecting between 40-50 so I agreed to the price and had my hair washed/conditioned, then deep conditioned under a dryer for about 15 mins and then rinsed again. The person who did my hair spoke very limited English (which was expected) so I told her I wanted it blown out no rollers and that's what she did for the next 25 mins. I was in and out in about an hour and a half which is pretty good for my length of hair. I was pleased with my hair and it stayed straight for almost 3 weeks (meaning no water on my hair, minimal exercise and no steaming) . Yvelisse did tell me before I left that instead of using a shower cap in the shower to just wrap a towel around my head . I actually googled this b/c I wasn't sure what she was talking about but who knew I was creating a mini sauna up under my shower cap which is a no no if you want to keep your hair straight. So from now on I will be using a towel instead of shower cap! The salon was very clean which is a plus but I believe they only take cash. The price which some people may have issues with seems comparable to other salons in the area . I think anytime you step out of the NY state line for a Dominican blow out you should expect to pay 40+ ... read more

Yvelisse and her entire staff are amazing!! They are very professional & fair. You will not wait all day for services but will leave feeling renewed with a new look! read more

I love this place. It is definitely geared for ethnic hair but if you are a white girl with naturally curly hair this salon can do wonders for you too. Really, they have something for everyone. They do a great job with color, deep conditioning, haircuts and styling. There is a bit of a language barrier but now they see me and know what to do with my rat's nest aka my hair. They do the BEST blow-out in Charlotte...no joke. I'm not telling you they won't yank and pull but the results are like none other and I have been to a lot of places...high end and hole in the walls... The salon is clean, top of the line brazilian products, nice service. The only reason they get 4 stars is for the pricing...they definitely overcharge. I paid almost half the price at the dominican salons in NY...They don't have enough competition yet so they jacked up their prices but hopefully that changes. Until then...I'll be back ****cash only...gotta love that..not really read more

I went to the salon five times while on a five week assignment in Charlotte. The salon was super clean and the stylists were extremely knowledgable about all types of hair. They deal with black hair, natural hair and Dominican hair. There is also a nail salon so you can dry your hair as the manicurist does your nails. She uses all OPI colors and my manicure lasted for two weeks. The staff is very friendly and I never had to wait to get someone started on my hair. One lady washes your hair, another may put rollers on your hair and the last will blow dry your hair. They're fast, efficient, experts in what they do and the prices are fair. read more

Thank you! Excellent service and my hair looks great. I have found a hair salon that reminds me back home in upstate NY. Thank you read more

Yvelisse Salon - Thank you Yvelle! You made my hair look great!i loved the layered look. I have found me a Dominican stylist. I will be back!!' - Hair Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Ok so my hair looked good BUT... a chunk of my hair broke off in the front near my hairline also I didn't realize until a few weeks later because I didn't know it was "a thing" to mix relaxer in with conditioner but i definitely think they mixed chemicals in my conditioner because 1. My scalp was burning after she washed my hair (I thought at the time it may have been because she was scratching my scalp so hard) & 2. I had a headache afterwards. I didn't put it all together until I read a review from another girl that said they messed up her curl pattern by putting relaxer in their conditioner & I began to research & found that a lot of salons do this. So if you're natural & don't believe in chemicals like me please just be aware. I definitely feel bamboozled. Other than that it's organized chaos they get you in and out very quickly it's like an assembly line there's really no "sit & wait". read more

I have been going to Yvelisse Hair Salon, since I've been in Charlotte. I have to say that this is my favorite salon by far. I get my washes and chemicals by Ana, and Clara does by blowouts. This salon is walk-in only but I never have to wait more than maybe 5 minutes to get in the chair. The decor is nice and warm, and the shop is always clean. I have been there on several occasions when they would provide food ie pizza, donuts, drinks ect and it's all on the house. It's hard to find a salon that you can be in and out of in less than 3 hours but that's always the case here. When I first came here, they told me that they would have my hair growing and healthy, and the lived up to their word. I started out with shoulder length hair and it is now bra strap length. Everyone is polite and professional and they do the best dominican blow out in Charlotte. It is a good driver away from my home and one day I decided to try my luck at another salon closer to my house. BAD IDEA, I will never cheat on them again lol. I would definitely recommend Yvelisse Salon to anyone looking to get a healthy, shiny, bouncy, blowout. read more

They destroyed my hair!!! DO NOT go to this salon they use too much heat, chemicals that are too harsh for Black hair and the manger is unprofessional! read more

This was my first trip to Yvelisse's Salon and I loved it! I recently moved to Charlotte and was concerned about finding a new hair salon to care for my natural hair. My last hair stylist pressed my hair with the old fashioned hot comb and hot flat iron (not the ceramics, but the ones that actually go on the hotbed). She advised me to try a Dominican shop after I moved, so I did. My mother suggested I try Yvelisse's and I was able to walk right in to have my blow-out done within an hour, but it was on a Tuesday. The salon itself is beautiful and I was greeted and treated kindly from the moment I walked in! I would have given them 5 stars, but I felt the services were a little more costly than what I'm used to. I paid $55 for a wash, condition (I got the $5 one), blow-out and my ends trimmed. Yvelisse actually gave me the conditioning for free, so it would have been $60. However, I will definitely go back because my hair looks and feels wonderful! I would definitely recommend this salon! read more

Stay away!!! Got the $10 conditioner and now my curl pattern is completely gone!! I used to go here when I was getting a relaxer... However now that I'm natural, I will not be back seeing that they mix relaxer with their conditioner!! read more

The 1 star is not for styling; their blowouts are wonderful and last a long time. I'm giving them 1 star because of their service. I'm natural and my hair is 4a/3c. Every time I walked in, they acted as if they didn't want to do my hair. And they also assumed I didn't know Spanish. I understood the jokes they were making. They will NEVER get another cent from me! read more

STAY AWAY!!! They mix relaxer in with their conditioner. RUINED my 10 year olds thick hair. Completely changed the texture. Also were several patches of hair burned out. She has breakage along hurt edges now. read more

I'm very skeptical about getting my hair done in new places, but I needed a quick wash & blow out and found this place on yelp. The inside of the salon was decorated very nicely, and the people who worked there were very nice as well. I have extremely thick hair and it is about shoulder length so I really appreciated the stylist taking her time with my hair. After the stylist finished my hair, I was so in love with the shop. My hair turned out amazing! And I cannot wait to return to the shop. I recommend this shop to anyone who needs their hair done & is looking for a Dominican blowout. Prices were your average hair salon prices, possibly a little more or less expensive depending on the type of hair and length. read more

I have not had a relaxer for 4 years. I have had the same dominican stylist in Houston for years. I moved to Charlotte and this place was highly recommend. I asked for a roller set and was told because I don't have a relaxer I cant get a roller set. I agreed to try it her way out of desperation. The stylist then pulled my hair drying it with the blow dryer while it was wet and continuously burned me. She had a very unpleasant attitude. I cant spend my money here. I now fly back to Houston for my regular stylist to repair my once beautiful tresses! (And its actually cheaper in Houston). read more

Not very welcoming. if you have to wait 2 hours to get your wet hair done and the place is not crowded at all because its the end of the day then something is terribly wrong with this picture. I had someone before me - not a problem -one of the girls ask if I could wait I said sure ( now I only said sure I would wait because she only had to blow and Flat iron ONE customer) If it take someone 2 hours to do that one job on one customer than they need to retrain. i was not happy to leave with wet hair. I went to VIP Dominican Beauty Salon which is so much better and I leave with beautiful soft and smooth hair and the prices are better. read more

The one star is for the lack of service. I went to get my eyebrows done and they took forever to see me, after they said it'd be 5 minutes. Just before I was going to say something, that's when she called me back. Mary does a great job and seems to be the only one that has etiquette in customer service. She was so courteous and we even spoketo each other in Spanish. Some of the others have attitudes for no reason. They keep that up, they won't have any business. read more

A little pricey but I feel as if I'm finally getting my hair right on track. I get a relaxer every 2 and 1/2 months and it cost about $60 then you can choose your choice of deep conditioners, I usually get the $15 one. When I come in between getting my hair relaxed its about $40, I might get a wash then pin-curl, sometimes a roller set, whatever I'm feeling at the time. Everyone is nice and accommodating and they get you in and out in a relatively quick time, no wasteful waiting. And they have plenty of girls on hand to get the job done. read more

I have been going to Dominican salons all over the country for the last 7 years. This was BY FAR the best the that I have ever been to. My hair is natural and it can be challenging. I asked for the owner based on one of the reviews below. She looked at my hair, evaluated it, and did exactly what I wanted other stylist to try and they would not. My hair was fabulous. I have been back once a week since my first visit. The process of going and waiting is one that is found at ALL Dominican salons. The person who is done under the dryer first is the first served regardless of who got there first. This is a wonderful salon. I will go to Yvelisse as long as I am in Charlotte. read more

Best dominican hair salon in Charlotte, Yvelisse is great with color and blow-outs!

Best Dominican Hair Salon!!!! Everytime I get my wash and set my hair is flawless!!! I wish you guys had a location in NY, since I moved back home. One thing for sure you're worth a flight! read more

Great clean environment, must say staff is great, reminder of being back at home "NYC" just with more of a cost as appose to NY. BUT GUESS THEY CHARGE LIKE THAT BECAUSE THEY KNOW PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY PAY "HELL I DID" it started out being 45 dollar's for a wash and blow out, but since I had just took my braids out obvious I needed a deep conditioner, 10 dollars extra, then my ends needed to be cut another 10 dollars extra. I thought that was funny being that they from up north, and everything would cost less and would all included in the service. But like they realize and so have I, different state different prices, but overall great experienced just expect things to add up as you go. read more

They do a magnificent job with the blowout. You will come out with silky straight hair blowing in the wind to rival any hair product commercial. They get you into a chair quickly and the service time is also quick. It is a lot of direct heat but they deep condition and the results are worth the price. read more

I have frequented the shop on 2 occasions. My first experience being better than the last. I have natural AA hair and I only go to the salon when its time for a trim. However when going to the salon I also get a blow out and a deep conditioner. Because my hair is natural I know to expect a certain level of discomfort when having my hair straightened but I had one of the most painful experiences in my life at this salon. As a point of reference I have my straightened about 4 times a yr by professionals, so I know what to expect. The 1st time I went it was a slow weekday morning so one of the girls washed, conditioned, and preped my hair for the blow out by combing through what looked like some kind of keratin product with a small toothed comb! I reached in my purse and gave her my handy denman brush to detangle my hair. Then she began to blow out the back of my hair (this was moderately painful.) and then when the owner became available I sat in her chair and she finished the blow out. The owner did a far superior job in straightening my hair quickly and with little to no pain. The owner also flat ironed and trimmed the ends. My hair looks and felt perfect! The second go round it was a little busier so this other lady blew my hair out by focusing most of the heat directly on my scalp (ouch.) I later found out that she was applying oil to my hair as she was flat ironing (which is damaging bc its essentially frying your hair.) She trimmed my hair however it later seemed she only trimmed the frame of my locks. The inside was very uneven and had never been touched by scissors. The only experienced professional seems to be the owner. Granted I haven't let the other women do my hair but my scalp and hair just can't risk that kind of damage. I have called and tried to set up appointments with the owner but they don't take appointments. I have since decided to straighten my own hair (an expensive flat iron is a great investment) and then go to the salon to have the trim. It just won't be at Yvelisse salon. read more

Got my hair colored here and felt very uncomfortable with other stylist looking over me to watch. Very nice salon though. I'll be back for a quick blowout sometime soon! read more

K..I needed to find a new Dominican salon, because my old one closed down on me :(. I am officially in love with this place...I didn't need an appointment, the place was close to packed and I was getting my hair shampooed less than two minutes after I arrived....my hair feels amazing and healthy. One star off for inconvenience since they don't take cards, but other than that, I'm in love. read more
