Kate Alexander at the Geoffrey James Salon

I made an appointment with Heidi Hoff for a haircut. She encouraged me to color my hair during my consultation and was very straight as to why. I really didn't think I needed it. I had never colored my hair before and had just grown use to the gray. I took a chance and I LOVE IT! I still have my natural color minus the grey and added shine. I felt fresh and a bit younger right away. But the compliments from my friends and most importantly my husband really gave me an ego boost. Oh and my haircut is great! Thank you Heidi! Pros: Very knowledgeable Stylist, great atmosphere more

I found Kate through a friend of mine, my friend told me she is wonderful and she wasn't kidding. I have very fine, limp hair that is naturally dishwater blond. Kate gave me a great cut that makes my hair look fuller and healthier and is also very easy to style . My color is beautiful, she gave me two different shades of blond. I have never had so many compliments on my hair before. Thanks so much Kate I look forward to my next appointment. more

Hi everyone! \r You must see Heidi! \r I usually like to keep secrets to one up my friends, but she is such an amazing hair stylist I have to share. \r My hair was so boring and flat. Heidi made it a shimmering, blond. I love it, I love it , I love it!!\r I'm going back for more...a new cut. I'm so excited! Pros: Private & Fun Salon Cons: none! more

Most women don't like to take chances with their hair, especially me. So I am so thankful to now have Heidi as my hairstylist. Heidi did a great job on my hair. My cut is fun, me and easy to style. My color is incredible. For once my husband noticed my hair and actually loved it! I have really had so many compliments, I do highly recommend Heidi. more

Kate provides a trendy, polished look every time I visit her. Her cuts are flawless and her colors are rich and beautiful. I used to complain about my hair but now I'm consistently happy with it. My husband says my hair looks the best it has in 10 years. The atmosphere at the Geoffrey James Salon is relaxing and indulgent. Each visit leaves me de-stressed and looking younger. I look forward to my appointments with Kate - I bet you will too! Pros: Parking is great. It's an easy stop off Durant Road with parking at the door. The wine is a wonderful touch. more

I went to Heidi the other day ( I found her here on City Search ) and she had her work cut out for her.\r I had about 6 months of outgrowth and really wanted some natural looking dimension. I was really tired of my dull, grown out hair. I just didn't have the motivation to have my hair done again. My past experiences haven't been that great. I either ended up with strips that were too light or nothing really special for a small fortune. \r This time was different! I don't know how she did it, but she weaved in two different colors and my hair is absolutely beautiful! I'm so happy! It all flows perfectly, it's so shiny and dimensional. The colors are more than I could have hoped for. I could go on and on, bottom line Heidi is the best hair stylist I've ever been to and to say I highly recommend her is an understatement! Pros: Beautiful, Contemporary Atmosphere Cons: Zero more

I went to see Kate to get my hair colored. I showed her a few pictures of what I like and also described to her what type of color I want and what look I was trying to achieve. She did an incredible job!! My color looks amazing. She gave me exactly what I wanted and then some. I have gotten so many compliments on my hair and I really love it. She is very talented and thorough. She knows exactly what will and will not look good. She has an amazing eye for color and I am very pleased. I have a friend that also goes to her and my friend's color and cut always looks fabulous as well. I would recommend Kate to anyone she is the best stylist/colorist I have ever been too!!! I can't wait to go back. Pros: The salon is very nice. Kate really pays attention to what you want. Cons: NONE. Everything is Perfect more

Heidi did my hair; color, highlights, cut. AMAZING! I love my hair and I love Heidi, she's a blast. Plus I felt like I was somewhere else!

You have finally found what you are looking for. Kate can work miracles with your hair.

With the cut she gave me--I can go for a month easy and my hair still looks great. I love it, love it, love it. Kate gave me the best color and cut I've had in forever.

Tucked away in North Raleigh is The Geoffrey James Salon. The atmosphere is wonderful, private and highly professional.\r My stylist is Heidi and she is absolutely, fabulous!! She is brilliant! My color and highlights are beautiful and have so much dimension. My cut is so contemporary, with wonderful shape and movement. And I can actually style it at home quite close to how Heidi styled it in the salon.\r Heidi took the time as she was styling to stop and give me tips on how to do it at home.\r I just recently moved to Raleigh from Chicago and was very nervous about finding a new stylist. I came on City Search and found the great reviews Heidi had and they're right on the nose!\r I highly recommend Heidi! Pros: Great service, location, ambience and stylist more

I recently moved from NY and found Heidi though other glowing reviews and i am gald i did. First off she is a blast to be around. The experience is fun as we sit there and chat about everything. I also love the salon. Its a smaller salon so you get personal service. When you walk in she offers you wine or water. I love that its just one person that does everything to my hair. She shampoos, colors, cuts and styles. Not like other salons where you have to go to a million people. I also find myself relaxing while i am there. When my color is setting i am reading a magazine and destressing from my long day. The hours are great and i never have a problem getting an appointment at the times i need them. I also love how Heidi takes the time to listen to what you want. She sits with you when you are discussing color and offers you many options. I love that i can tell her how much i want cut and she will do exactly that. I have been at other salons where you walk out with 6 less inches then when you started. So definitly go and see Heidi you will have a wonderful experience and great hair. Be parpaded though the complements will start coming as soon as you walk out more

Kate is an awesome hairstylist! I am extremely particular about my hair and color and she took the time to listen to what I wanted and she even made great suggestions. I was totally impressed by the color and cut she gave me. I more than highly recommend her!! :) more

Let me just start out by saying that it was Fate that brought Heidi into my life as my hairstylist! Having just had moved to Raleigh 8 months ago I was EXTREMELY nervous about having my hair done in an area where I knew no one and had no referrals for good stylists. As luck would have it I ended up with the fate of my hair laying in Heidi's hands. Thank Goodness because this woman ROCKS! My highlights are perfect and my cut is recovering nicely from a pre-Heidi disaster. Send your friends! Send yourself! :) Pros: P.S. Heidi gives the BEST shampoo's!!!! more

Heidi is wonderful! \r I went to Heidi for the first time recently to get my hair cut. We also discussed my hair color which I had been doing at home. I've never been thrilled with my ""box"" color, but I thought it did the job. Well I went from three shades of red and brown to a beautiful auburn. My hair has never looked so healthy and shiny. My skin color looks so much more healthy. My cut is also wonderful and I have a real pulled together look now. I have had so many compliments. I highly recommend Heidi. more

I just need to share what a wonderful experience it's been having Heidi do my hair. I had really let my hair go. I had been less than thrilled with past experiences. A friend referred me to Heidi and encouraged me to give her a try. Well I love my color and hair cut! I have had so many compliments from family and friends that now I can't picture going without my ""look."" I now visit Heidi regularly to stay ""polished"", she knows what she's doing and has a lot of fun doing it . \r Thanks Heidi Pros: great atmosphere, great stylist and flexible hours more

A friend of mine recommended me to Kate,I had not had my hair cut and colored in a pretty long time,I wanted something that would not be too high maintenance.Kate gave me a beautiful rich chocolaty color with natural looking highlights and kept my hair long just like I asked for.The salon is very cozy and relaxing I will definitely be back to see Kate. more

Heidi saved my hair. I have brown hair which was overprocessed with bleach and was breaking badly and Heidi is nursing my hair back to health and still able to keep a nice shade of blonde.. she will take the time to discuss and recommmend her thoughts on what is best for your hair.. and I am very happy with her haircuts.. with very reasonable prices!.. I highly recommend Heidi for any service!! more

Heidi Hoff gave me beautiful highlights and an amazing cut! She went over styling it with me and it's actually something I can do! I am so happy with my new look. I came in with some ideas of what I thought would look good and we tweaked them with consideration to my face shape, the texture and color of my hair and time I could spend each day styling it. The results are wonderful. Thank you Heidi for listening, for your careful consideration and professionalism.\r \r Janis Roberts Pros: high level of professionalism, lovely atmosphere more
