Salon 21

03/28/2008 Posted by JenC2100

Upon moving to Raleigh from Florida in 2001 I immediately embarked on a search for a hair stylist that would be able to exceed my expectations of my former hair stylist or at the very least copy their work. After trying a countless number of salons I have finally found (7 years later!) an extremely talented stylist at Salon21 by the name of Talia. I was originally scheduled for a haircut but asked her when I arrived if she had any time for a color. She did and choose a color that I am thrilled with! I had been coloring my own hair since I was unable to find a good colorist and basically stumbling around when it came to a good cut. I am a hair and makeup artist for special events so I will say that I am somewhat picky when it comes to hair. Talia has made me very happy. :) Fantastic haircut as well and she very pleasant to be around and extremely professional. I highly recommend Talia and look forward to our next appointment! :) Jen C

Pros: Two thums up!

Cons: None

Natalie is the best hair stylist around at Salon 21. I have been going there for almost two years and have never been disappointed. I will not go anywhere else. I have tried all of the rest...now I am with the best! Not only does she make your hair look perfect, but she always has a smile on her face and is very polite and courteous. Exceptional Salon with the highest recommendations!!

Pros: Clean, Sunny, Very experienced, Make you feel comfortable and pampered

Cons: Parking

From my experiences with Salon 21, I would say that if you want good service, friendliness, professionalism, respect, honesty, and fairness, do not go there. With so many great salons in Raleigh, I would strongly recommend that you do not choose Salon 21.

Cons: mean-spirited, attitude, un-friendly

Sounds silly, but I drive all the way from my home in Charlotte to get my hair cut at Salon 21. Jennifer is great !!! She's consistant, but never boring with her cuts/color, or personality. Toni, the owner did my hair for my wedding and it looked perfect (and I'm really picky !!!). So definitely check them out. BTW. They carry Pureology hair products too. For those of you not in the know, this stuff is liquid gold for hair.

Pros: Awesome talent. Great product line.

Cons: Occasional parking issues, but better than any other Downtown salon. Vanity has its price.

Stephanie cut my hair and it is definitely the best haircut I have gotten in a long time. She listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me some suggestions-all which ended up in a cute stylish cut that is easy to manage. The prices are SO reasonable. I will recommend Salon 21 and Stephanie to my friends. Thanks for a great experience and a fabulous haircut!

Pros: friendly service, reasonable prices, great products

Cons: parking

I think Salon 21 is okay. A bit pricey but that's expected for a downtown, hip salon. Unfortunately their best stylist, Sonya has moved down the street to The Birdcage. They definitely lost an asset right there.

They are always so friendly, and I always get a great cut! Andrea is the best!

Pros: evening appointements, They listen, skilled

Cons: have to wait somtimes

As a teacher, my salary is mostly consumed with fixed expenses, but I've always been known for my hairstyles. Therefore I am very choosy about my stylist. I honestly cannot rate the work of any stylist but Andrea. I found her my first visit to Salon 21 and hope I never have to find another stylist. She's the greatest! I always receive complements on her cuts, and her color. My only concern is working the price into my small variable budget. Forty dollars for a cut may seem small for some, but as a teacher, its a stretch, especially if I need color and a cut. Overall, the prices at Salon 21 are very reasonable and a great value for the service if you can afford it.

I had just moved to the area when i began searching for a salon to chop off my waist-length super-thick hair and style it. I was nervous but soooo lucky to find Salon 21. The atmosphere is clean cut and simple, the staff was nice and not snotty. Sonya was wonderful and I was extremely pleased with my cut. I have found my salon in the area. If you want a good haircut you pay for it so I didn't think the price, around $40 was too much, especially when others have "long hair" charges that would have cost me much more.

Pros: Staff, Talent, Price

Cons: Street parking

Natalie and Amanda are fun and knowledgeable - I get to enjoy the front view and get an expensive-salon quality haircut... without the expense! I'm going to make an appt right now!

Pros: inexpensive, skilled
