Haircolorxperts at Cameron Village

03/18/2008 Posted by BellaBabe826

Its been a month since my last visit to the sallon in Cam. village and my hair still looks AMAZING! I owe it all to Larry Dunlap. He gave me great feedback about my ideas for the perfect haircolor and helped me decide to try out a darker shade for a change. Great cut and color. Huge help.

Pros: Friendy, professional staff, great stylist with useful advice/ideas

Cons: hard to get an appt. with Larry, but i guess this just b/c he's so sought after as a stylist

I have been going to Cameron Village's Hair Color Xperts for awhile now. I have tried out all the stylists and I have absolutely loved it. Recently i have been going to the new girl Cassie and i have been very pleased but i wouldn't be afraid to try anyone else if she couldn't get me in. I have never walked out of there dissappointed. It has been one of the best places i have ever gone. I have tried out so many salons in Raleigh and have been very let down. I feel so comfortable when I am in there and I really love how clean it is and how sweet everyone is to EVERYONE!!! I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to go there and i have. If you are looking for a new hair stylist i would say hands down go to Hair color Xperts. I have never been more satisfied with my hair than i am now... THANKS HAIR COLOR XPERTS!!!

Pros: You get a rose at the end, they call to remind you the day before of your appt. and they are open 7 days a week...

Cons: Manager can be a little rude, but she doesn't do my hair so who cares!!!

Until now, I didn't realize that there was a forum to "rate" local businesses. I went to a male stylist/colorist for a cut and color/highlights. The receptionist was obviously having a bad day, as she was very unfriendly. The stylist was very nice and listened to my concerns. I brought along several pictures of the color and style that I wanted; I also told him, very clearly, what I did NOT want. To be brief, I wanted natural-looking caramel blonde highlights and a minimal trim for the ends of my hair. When he was done, I had very orange, brassy, striped hair w/ a few platinum blonde/greenish streaks. I guess that I should've turned around and left the salon when I first walked in and saw that most of the stylists had very dramatic, chunky, unnatural-looking haircolor....however, I thought that, being professionals, I would get what I requested. I spent over $200 for his "services". As I previously stated, he was extremely nice....but, with results like that, I was afraid to complain. I knew that I wouldn't get my money refunded and that I would be unable to trust anyone there to "fix" my hair. While it did get many comments from family and friends, they weren't the kind that I wanted. Lesson learned: walk away from any hairstylist/colorist/salon who has/have haircolor or a style that is unflattering.

Pros: free rosebud; very nice stylist;convenient location

Cons: rude receptionist;terrible haircolor

I will make this short and sweet...I went to Haircolorexperts in Cary and had an amazing experience with a stylist. After moving into Raleigh, I figured I would take my business to Cameron Village to save myself 25 minutes. It was an awful, awful idea. I have NEVER cried in a stylists chair until Haircolorexperts at Cameron Village. My hair was awful! I had asked the stylist in our "consultation" to trim up my layers and keep my length because I was growing my hair longer. I wanted life and bounce in my hair, so I also asked for her to texturize the layers, so they did not look choppy. During our consultation, she seemed a little spacey, but I thought that might just be her personality, so I went with it. She was very nice and friendly while cutting my hair and I was impressed at how straight she managed to style it. Then she handed me the mirror to look closely at my hair, and the tears welled up in my eyes... She had chopped at least 4 inches from my TOP layer, making my longest layer and shortest layer at least 7 inches apart, and the layers were horribly choppy and each stood on their own instead of blending together. My hair had a mushroom shape at the top, due to the thickness of the top, way-too-short, layer and then ended in a stringy mess that was my bottom layer that was way-too-thin. I looked like a bad version of an 80's rocker chick. I cried. I cried in public. She asked how to fix it, but short of chopping 7 inches off of my hair to even it out, I didn't see any way to do that. She had someone else look at it, and they said it looked fine...?!?!?!?! It was then that I decided I would not allow the hair butchers of Cameron Village to "fix" my botched haircut, even when they called to check in on me. Why would I let them cut my hair again??? They had already ruined it once! Lucky for me, my story has a light at the end of the tunnel: Stacie at Salon Moxie in Raleigh - go see her instead of this butcher shop, trust me.

Pros: They gave me a rose when I left...

Cons: worst haircut I've ever had, bad stylists, fake consultation

That's the only name you need to know when choosing a new stylist. Cassie was very concerned with what I had in mind for my hair, as well as helpful when I asked questions. She wasn't pushy and she is so so polite. I chose Cassie because of her other reviews and bubbly personality. I was not dissapointed and have told everyone I know how I LOVE my hair now. I will use no one else. Although I really don't have to tell anyone because they always ask who does my hair. Thanks again Hair Color Xperts!!

Pros: love the color, love the cut, the people and atmosphere are very inviting

Cons: NOT ONE!!

I recommend Michelle Blanda because she was extremely nice and she fixed my hair! I came in with an awful color and she walked me through the steps and fixed it! Thanks to her, it now looks great!

I've lived in Raleigh for three years now, and finally found a salon I actually like. I did a lot, and I mean a lot, f searching and hated everything else. For my first two years I would drive up to Delware where my parents live, to get a good haircut. I tried Hair Color at Cameron Village and got Michelle and have been happy ever since. I change my mind more than anyone I know and have gone from brown to blonde and in between and Michelle has always been awesome! She works with me and gives me her honest opinion about what will make me look best while still keeping in mind exactly what I want. Overall, I've finally found a salon I'm happy with and plan on staying with them and MIchelle!

Pros: Great staff and really cozy!

Cons: A little pricey

was made to wait over 40 minutes. Was told to go "run an errand". Receptionist was very rude (and not too bright).

I got my hair cut last week by a stylist named Charles! He did such a good job! I was nervous going to a different salon, but my other hair stylist moved away. SO I went to the Haircolorxperts in Cameron Village, and I've never had my hair styled so well. He knew exactly how to manage and style my hair, without adding pounds of product. Definitely the best head massage I've ever had ! I've already scheduled my next appointment!
