Studio K Salon

When I first came to Studio K Salon, my hair was a mess. I needed color help, damage help, and a new haircut to replace the hack job i had gotten at another salon. Thanks to Melissa, I get daily compliments on my hair. She has completely turned my hair around! I LOVE the color and the cut and my hair is healthier than it has ever been! Pros: color knowledge, atmosphere, employees.. Cons: None more

This was the best salon experience that I have ever had. I recently moved to the Durham area from Maryland and had trouble finding a salon in the area. I saw all the great reviews for Stuido K on CitySearch and decided to give it a try and I have never been happier with my hair color and cut! THANK YOU Pros: best coloring i've ever had Cons: found none. more

Established, consistent, stable, knowledgeable, experienced, there are just some of the words that come to mind with Studio K Salon. They have been around for over 10 years, excellent designers, quality products, and truly do care about your hair health. There are many salon experience I've seen and been a part of in my life where my hair ended up being fried, died, etc., and this is thankfully a salon that heals hair more than anything! Their products ARE amazing, and DO what they say they'll do....by the way, these stylists are awesome in transitioning someone from colored hair to their natural grey! Excellent Job Studio K!, Pros: This Company DOES know hair more

I was a new customer to this salon and from the moment I walked in it was like I was a part of the family. The receptionist, Andrea, greeted me and got me something to drink while I waited. My stylist also greeted me warmly and made some very clever suggestions on what to do with my hair. She analyzed my hair, my lifestyle and my maintinence routine. I loved it!!! My hair has never been so good!!! Thank you Studio K Salon! Pros: great staff, great artistic experession Cons: none more

My stylist is Christine and she is fantastic! Wow, she is SO GOOD WITH COLOR and amazing with all the desiginers and helping. I think this is a winner salon! GO CITYSEARCH - GO STUDIO K SALON I know you will win! Pros: Great Stylist! Cons: none more

this is the first time i have come to this salon. I find it better than most. I felt welcome, listened to, the attitude of my designer, connie was outstanding and helpful, the manager and front desk people are extremely helpful. i feel this salon has great substance and what they say is true, they do consult with you and help decide the best haircut and products. i am very pleased! Pros: great personalities more

I have always preferred supporting our small business owners rather than any chain. Let's face it, small businesses is what makes our country! This salon is best known for it's quality work, friendly staff, and great hair. Not a bunch of hype that means nothing. This is a TRUE hair salon in it's actual meaning. They care about hair, only do hair (except eyebrow waxing, etc) and KNOW hair. Going to a salon that offers only hype would scare me. I prefer to go where I know they know hair. Pros: Not a chain! Caring individuals. Cons: n/a more

I am thrilled to write a review for this salon. I have been going for over five years now, and always have been satisfied with my hair! I have never seen stylists that actually care the way these girls care and I personally prefer stylists that know what they are doing. Have had experiences in my life where I was scared to sit in the stylists chair. Here, I am always comfortable and know what I am getting is always quality. Vote for this salon! Pros: Priced reasonable more

I have just voted for Studio K to be best of Citysearch for the Raleigh/Durham area. This salon deserves it! The great people, great hair, and OUTSTANDING COLOR KNOWLEDGE this salon has is unbelievable! I TRULY put these people to the test and I thought for sure I would have to eventually cut my hair off.....but NOT SO MUCH! I had a great time there, great atmosphere, they actually made sure my hair maintained it's protein and did a protein treatment, as well as a deep moisture treatment prior to my color correction and my hair feels AMAZING and I thought I was going to have to suffer! Not with these girls! What a GREAT salon! You DESERVE TO WIN STUDIO K! Pros: Great Salon Cons: none more

This hair salon is excellent for men and women! My husband and I have been coming to Studio K for the past 7 years! The consistency is ALWAYS there, the designers always friendly, very knowledgable, and I have never walked out dissatisfied, nor has my husband. This place cares about your hair, and cares about the product they send out the door (my hair style!). I am thrilled to vote for this salon and they truly ARE the best in this area! Pros: Great Price, Excellent Designers Cons: Closed on Sunday more

These ladies are wonderful hair stylists. They take the time to listen to what you want and actually do it. Really, how many times have you said "I only want a trim. or I want natural looking highlights.", only to come away looking like a gazing ball or that your 5 year colored your hair with their finger paints? I will not go any where other than Studio K Salon. Call me picky but I like my hair as most women do, but if you don't go see these ladies. They are all great. Karen has done an awesome job giving us a SAFE place for our hair . needs. Check them out. Pros: Quality Hair Salon Cons: NONE more

I have naturally curly hair and I have had a hard time finding someone who can cut it so that it maintains its natural style. Connie was highly recommened so I tried her. She did an awesome job. I have been back to see her and will continue to do so, even if it is an hour drive one way. The owner, Karen, is very professional and offers a great place to relax among her friendly staff. Pros: Great cuts and friendly service more

I have been a cusomer since they opened the doors. Recently I have my hair done by Melanie. Her knowledge, customer service and skillset has brought me compliments on my hair. She is patient and has excellent styling ideas. Pros: They are the best in haircare Cons: none more

I found I lost my regular hairdresser and thought I had found a place with great reviews. I had a big reunion to go to and loved my last highlighting, but asked this time to go more blonde as it had dulled. After three hours in the salon, my hair still wasn't blonde. At the checkout, a lady said " Oh, you'll need three visits to do that. I was also given one price by the hairdresser and another at the checkout to put me in a position to not be able to afford the tip. The website falsely advertises SAVE 50% off. The reality is you can use only 25% at one time. To make it worse when I spoke to the manager the response was..well we don't have a computer here to see. THEY ARE NOT CUSTOMER FOCUSED. I also had to have my hair redone with a second visit..saying it was a matter of using foils not color change or anything else. They must cut corners by stocking one item and using it for everyone. Pros: Haircut Cons: Can't get what I wanted more

I came into the studio with dry, thin, brittle hair in two huge knots. She patiently and gently spent hours removing them. She then made some brilliant suggestions on color and style. What first appeared like a day of gloom (expecting to leave with the knots, and most of my hair cut off) turned into a happy experience with the best possible color and style. I have become an instant loyal customer and supportor. Pros: She is patient, gentle, kind, and brilliantly skilled Cons: none more

My daughter is attending school in durham. We researched a salon online for Prom based upon reviews. We got "Bea" who was supposedly an expert in updo's. She was the worst! We described a simple look that we wanted and she kept trying to talk us into her way (which we highly suspect is the only way she knew how to do it). We asked for her to trim the bangs and she did it with a blunt razor that turned them totally frizzy and lopsided. it truly is a disaster. I emailed pictures of the updo and frizzy, lopsided bangs to our home stylist and she said that we should report her to the salon and ask for our money back. She said it was disgraceful and one of the worst jobs she's ever seen. Cons: worst hair experience of our lives! more

I had my hair done here recently, and I am the "afraid of change" kind of girl, who likes her hair just ever so slightly trimmed, but while working with Sarah we decided it was time for a new me. I was put at complete ease. She had a new vision for my hair, which desperately needed it! I was resistant at first, but she was confident in what she had suggested and so we did it! The cut and color were fabulous! This girl really knows her stuff, so you can be assured you will get the best possible outcome! I will continue to go to Studio K, and you can bet I will be asking for SARAH! Pros: Excellent analysis of the best cut/color for you. more

I was new to this salon in Feb '09. Melanie was recommended to me by a friend who loved her hair. I was greeted by the receptionist who was very friendly. I was then greeted again by my stylist, Melanie. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I had color and a cut done and wanted something so specific I took in a picture with me. Melanie tried very hard to understand each detail about my hair. She explained to me each step of the process so I felt very comfortable and confident with the color. When it came to the cut she explained to me the details that are so very often left out. I was AMAZED by what she was able to do. Not only was I impressed with the customer service of ALL of the employees but also with the skills needed to get the job done. She was able to execute everything that I wanted. I have never left a salon feeling so refreshed and excited. I would recommend this salon to anyone!! Thanks Melanie! Pros: Atmosphere, skills Cons: none at all! more

I went here almost a year ago (March 2008) for the Grund straightening treatment, which I had had done at another salon a year before and absolutely loved it. Studio K did something TERRIBLY wrong- because my hair broke off at the root immediately after they put one chemical on it. They realized what was happening and stopped the treatment, tried to rinse out whatever chemical they had put on me- but it was too late! Here we are a year later and my hair still looks horrible. They are chunks of it missing from the breakage. Let me re-iterate that I had had this treatment performed correctly at another salon before- so it had to be something that Studio K did wrong. I regret ever stepping foot in that place and will til my hair finally grows back! The owner was very nice about it and sorry- but nothing can undo the damage that was done. I just had to write to protect anyone else from having this experience! more

After an amazing experience and tremendous satisfaction at Studio K I immediately came home determined to offer my opinion on this venue. It is unfortunate that one can place anything they desire on the world wide web to cause harm to businesses, or people, but honestly, it happens all the time. I can't see this place not bending over backwards to gain customer satisfaction. I heard them mentioning how important satisfaction was! This place is AMAZING. The stylists are very kind, considerate, the atmosphere is extremely friendly, these stylists know their color and their cuts! Offering up to date cut suggestions and style, I was thrilled to look fresh not like 10 years ago. My stylist had extra time and kindly offered suggestions to 'gain my eyes back' as she said...because my hair truly was washed out from my lack of maintenance I admittedly created myself. It seemed every client in this overly busy and very upbeat place was pleased, pleasant, and very satisfied with their services. I will say going on a Saturday as I did, it was very busy but that just reassured me of their great reputation. I actually came to this place because I love my employees color and cut, and then asked another gal at the mall and she too comes to this salon. Great Service, great stylists, great work! I will recommend this salon to anyone. Pros: Service, products, customer relations, cuts, atmosphere Cons: nothing! more
