Studio K Salon

I love Studio K and my hairdresser, Connie. She is so good with customers and really cares about your experience there. My hair has never looked better since she's taken care of it. She gives me the best perms and coloring. I won't trust anybody but Connie to do my hair. She goes out of her way to make you feel like a princess ! She has an outgoing, sincere, friendly personality and will spend the time to make sure you've had a great day at the hair salon.

I get my hair colored at Studio K by Christine. She does a fantastic job whether it is just a Color Express (awesome- quick and inexpensive way to get roots colored) or highlights. It is easy to get an appointment and I love my color every time. Christine also cuts my hair just the way I want it. I think my hair looks the best it ever has!

Pros: Ease of scheduling appointment

Studio K is just the best in service and style. The hairstylists are all well experienced -- I especially like Connie because she's so wonderful. I make appointments with her because she is so very customer focused and she will take the time to make sure you are satisfied. She's also a very nice person and enjoyable to talk to. Ask her about Pebbles. The atmosphere at Studio K is friendly and relaxed and comfortable. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Pros: comfortable atmosphere and great stylists

Cons: no cons -- it's all good

I finally found a salon where I am comfortable! This salon has atmosphere, class, dignity, the people are VERY consistent! I have come to Studio K for probably 4 years now, and they don't have ANY turnover in their staff, there is no 'better than' airs, there is no 'attitude', there is just friendly, courteous, kind, not overbearing, experienced, quality consistent work coming out of this place each and every time. I've been around long enough to watch guests come in and out and observed their work, as well as their mannerisms and I have never felt so comfortable in a salon. THEY KNOW their STUFF! By the way, never heard of their Grund shampoo before my first visit (years ago), but I'll tell you, that is the best shampoo and product's I've EVER tried and I still use them!

Pros: Excellent consistent knowledgeable great staff

I can't say enough good things about Karen and her staff...but I'll try! The products are fantastic, the styling is out of this world, and the hair coloring is the best I have received anywhere. I love Karen so much that I have given her to my sister from Boston as a gift when she visits. My sister is so impressed that she has me make an appointment for her every time she is in town! Totally awesome!!!!

Pros: Personable, professional, courteous, fun!

Cons: none!!

This salon offers consistent, awesome, up to date, classic and/or trendy cuts. There is obviously tremendous education that goes on with these designers, their owner is a national artist for a very trendy razor company. They keep up to date with these razor piecy cuts and I love them!! Each designer that I have seen so far ( I have seen three) seem to have their own 'tweeks' and 'twists' to their cuts. It is best to find one or two designers that are your favorite. I read comments about needing to look 'trendy' with the interior, yet, trendy with an interior has nothing to do with the quality of cuts. Mostly, I feel welcome and not iced out with the atmosphere, and it is ALWAYS friendly, kind and welcoming. Oftentimes these 'trendy' looking salons have a very bad vibe to them or wars within their designers. I find this the most comfortable salon vs. others I've tried locally and I ALWAYS get a fantastic cut!

Pros: atmosphere, cuts, attention to detail

I read many of the reviews on this site and decided to give the salon a try regardless of the negatives. My hairstylist moved away and I figured I would try a place closer to home. I got an appointment the day I called and wasn't asked exactly what services I wanted and I had just said a "haircut", but I actually needed some color too. When I got to the salon I was in a bit of shock. I have been used to going to trendy salons with a completely different atmosphere, but I've also had haircuts in modest salons - so I think I'm pretty open to trusting stylists in different settings. I was still really put back by the decor. Faux brick wallpaper and brown PVC lattice didn't leave me feeling like the salon was cutting edge. The bathroom is in the break room and I knocked down a couple of mops on the back of the door trying to find the light in the dark. Some books in the waiting area were a bit old, one had Linda Evans from the Dynasty time as a style suggestion. I almost left out of fear of what might happen with my hair. My stylist was very nice, but my "consultation" was done standing up even though I asked to sit. By that point I was really apprehensive about getting a cut or color there so I just asked for a little trim. I did get exactly what I asked for, a little trim. I had come in with a trendier cut and left with a more blunt one, but I just was too worried that the stylist couldn't deliver on what I really wanted and I didn't want to even try color. It is very possible the stylists there are completely capable of doing up to date trendy styles, it's just a new person walking in there would not expect that from a salon that looks like that. The stylist I had didn't give me any sense that she would be able to do that either, but I didn't even ask because I was so skittish about the whole place. The salon owner can say the salon is clean and it is, but a first impression is important. I think people have to try it and see how they like it.

Pros: many stylists, pricing, open late and on Mondays

Cons: ambience, bad decor, no sense of pampering, stark mirrored cutting floor

I went to Studio K salon after couple of bad experiences in other salons in Chapel Hill. My hairstylist was Mandy first time in Studio K salon. I told her the bad experiences I had in another places. She listened to me and acknowledged my frustration. She corrected my terrible hair cut and layers and gave me a wonderful style easy to handle. My next appointment with her was for the hair color and told her what I had in mind and she both listened and match the picture example that I brought in. She is very sweet person and great personality and wonderful stylist. Thank you again.

Pros: affordable salon, great stylist and and nice location

I MUST ADMIT, ANYTIME I GO ANYWHERE NEW TO GET MY HAIR DONE I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS SO WHEN I WALKED IN I WAS UNSURE WHAT TO EXPECT. AS SOON AS I CHECKED IN I SAT DOWN FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, & THEN BEA CAME OVER & INTRODUCED HERSELF. I WAS STILL NERVOUS BUT AS SOON AS WE STARTED CONVERSATING ABOUT MY HAIR & WHAT OVERALL OUTCOME I WAS LOOKING FOR I KNEW WE WERE ON THE SAME PAGE. I WAS PLATINUM BLONDE & WAS LOOKING TO GO A LITTLE MORE TOWARDS MY NATURAL COLOR (WHICH IS A MEDIUM BLONDE.) SHE THEN BROUGHT OUT A COLOR SWATCH & TOGETHER WE DECIDED ON A BLONDE LOWLIGHT THAT WOULDN'T BE TOO DRASTIC BUT WOULD TAME MY COLOR FOR THE FALL. MY COLOR ENDED UP COMING OUT GREAT & EVERYONE WAS VERY FRIENDLY, ESPECIALLY KAREN THE OWNER. I LOVE HOW SHE IS VERY INVOLVED WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON IN THE SALON & TOGETHER ALL THE STYLISTS REALLY WORK AS A TEAM. I HAD A GREAT FIRST EXPERIENCE & I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP GOING BACK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SALON TO EVERYONE!

There is no "perfect" hair. My hair in particular has been a real challenge for everyone that has tried to resolve it's color issues. I can assure you this "team" and they are a team, will work together to try to find an answer to color challenges. Feel confident that whoever you get as a stylist will ask for input from the other colorists if they are not sure how to get the results that you are looking for (that's not saying they don't know their stuff, it says they don't act before considering all the options available). The fact that they are encouraged to help each other is a real plus in my book. Karen is a wonderful guide to the team. If you don't get what you want, they strive to make you a happy camper before you leave. Go here, you won't be sorry.

Pros: They strive for you to walk away satisfied
