I typically see Ashley for my hair but I cannot speak highly enough of this whole team. They’ve perfected creating a warm and inviting environment and are equally just as skilled in all things hair. I love that there is a stylist here for every hair type!
Love Stephanie at Fringe. I’ve been going there for years. Tried long hair, short hair, curly, straight, extensions! Yes those pics are both me! So fun! I like to switch it up. Stephanie has been patient and thoughtful and lead me through it all. I’ve tried lots of places in Cville and Fringe is hands down the best!
Absolutely five stars! ⭐️ From the moment I walk in, I feel completely welcomed. The space is fabulous—beautiful, relaxing, unique atmosphere. Ashley, and the entire team are wonderful—truly skilled artists. I couldn’t be happier or more pampered. Such a warm, professional experience from start to finish!
I had the most wonderful experience! Pearl was a true artist with my hair — both the color and style. I highly recommend trusting Pearl’s expertise and creativity. Thank you so very much!
It’s hard to find a salon that gets it right every time, but Fringe Collective does. I’ve been coming here for nearly two years for the perfect mix of expert skill and a calming, welcoming atmosphere. Walking into Fringe feels like a giant exhale! Fringe offers a true boutique experience, and Ashley is exceptional…
I have been going to Ashley for over 10 years. There honestly isn't anyone else I would trust with my hair at this point. Her team is so friendly and really listens to you each time so that you get exactly what you want. The salon is clean and fresh. I appreciate the tea and snacks for long color sessions. I would…
Now that I have found Laura, I wont see anyone else! She gets it perfect every single time, even when I go in unsure of what I want. She asks the right questions so we both get an understanding of what is best for me for the season. Thanks a million, Laura!
Love Fringe! The salon has a great vibe and Stephanie is the best!!
I've been coming to Fringe since 2021 and I am consistently blown away with their services! Ashley always makes me feel my best and I can't think of anyone else that I would trust with my hair. From a cut and color to a Brazilian blow out, I've only had positive experiences at Fringe.
I've never looked forward to going to the salon until I started going to Fringe! The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and always welcoming. Ashley is pretty much a magical wizard. She takes the time to listen to my needs, and delivers exactly what I ask for 100% of the time. I interacted with several of the other…
Love my hair cut and I always feel very cared for. Thanks!
Excellent experience all around!! Absolutely loved the color and Ashley is phenomenal :)
I love everything about having my hair taken care of at the Fringe Collective. The stylists are all personable, professional and talented. Parking is easy. Appointments are easy to schedule and I always feel and look great when I leave. They take great care of their clients!
Fringe Collective is a truly incredible salon. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is relaxing, peaceful, and welcoming. What really sets Fringe Collective apart is the incredible team. The staff is professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell that everyone there takes…
Stephanie is definitely "the ticket " when it comes to hairstyling and glossing: A great listener to your needs, with spot-on results. My husband, for the first time in a long time, was wholly impressed - and he is a tough critic! Matrimony aside, I love Stephanie's talent!! It says it all!
Pearl was amazing! I came in with a scrambled list of wants and no vision. Pearl took all my ideas and turned them into something wonderful and exactly what I was looking for. She made me feel so comfortable and the overall experience was incredibly relaxing. As a person who has never liked getting their hair cut,…
Absolutely fantastic service by Pearl! I was a nervous wreck going in as I was asking for a big change but she tackled it like a pro. Made me feel incredibly comfortable. Absolutely recommend Pearl for anyone! She's inclusive, patient, and caring.
Laura took my 11-month grown out highlights and turned it into a masterpiece! I went in thinking the blonde color I wanted wouldn’t be achievable in one visit because so much of my natural brown had grown out, but she gave me exactly what I wanted! Bright, dimensional, and not a hint of orange in sight. And she was…
Laura did an absolutely amazing job! She is so friendly, took the time to ask me questions to understand what I was looking for, and she delivered exactly what I came for!
Possibly my first time writing a review, but just have to say how great both Stephanie and Laura have been with my curly hair. Laura cut my hair today and helped me with my first ever hair color. She was so easy to talk to! I only wish we weren’t moving away so I could keep going back!
Pearl at Fringle Collective is amazing! I have fine, straight blonde hair and she somehow made it look full, healthy, and full of life. She’s incredibly thorough, kind, and clearly very talented—this is hands down the best haircut I’ve had in Charlottesville. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for making time for me last second, Pearl! Pearl was so sweet & kept asking if things were comfortable and checking on me for input. (I truly had no input as everything was perfect & my hair was cut just to my liking) Excited for my next appt in a month. :)
I came to Laura with a tall task of trying to fix my fried over processed hair. She sat down and listened and we talked over different things that could work and what I wanted. When I tell you she works magic!! My hair looks natural and healthy. The color she came up with and the different techniques she used to fix…
Laura (and Ashley!) have been a constant source of inspiration and talent in my hair journey. I went from black box dye (I know, I know) to gorgeous lived-in blonde. It takes time people. But these ladies are here to help you color correct and get you to where you want to be. Laura is a talented blonde specialist…
Recently came to see Stephanie for the first time and got one of the best cuts I've ever been given. I have mixed texture curly/wavy hair and the way she shaped everything makes my hair behave completely differently. I've even been wearing it with zero product, air dried every day and I can't believe it! Before my…
I’m so lucky I found Fringe Collective! Ashley is masterful at hair, of course, but even more at distilling what picture or idea I have into what is best for me. I trust her - and the whole team - explicitly with my hair and overall experience. Everyone is incredibly thoughtful, fun, and professional. I’ve learned…
This salon is the BEST! Carly was my saving grace near the end of 2022 when I was scrambling to get a hair overhaul before heading out on vacation. She was able to fit me into her schedule and I walked out of the salon with my most favorite hair ever! As long as she is around, I am forever a client! As for the…
Stephanie is a wonderful stylist here! I have gone to her for 4 years now and have never once been upset with how she has done my hair. I have referred many other women to her and they have had the same response - she is amazing! I get blonde highlights and a cut and she always makes me feel gorgeous. Definitely try out Fringe!
I have been extremely happy with the services provided at Fringe Collective, specifically from my stylist Stephanie Rittenhouse. Stephanie is very attentive to my requests (that can change from appointment to appointment). I appreciate her patience and professionalism and am pleased with my hair and brows after…
I love love love the owner/master stylist, Ashley Clark. She's been doing my hair for 25 years and wouldn't trust my head to anyone else. We've been through so many transformations and she was there for it, always.
I love Fringe Collective; the vibes are warm, and everyone is always so friendly and kind, the service wonderful. Every stylist there is great, but Teniya is MY GIRL. She’s been doing my hair for a while now, and she always makes me feel stunning any time I’m in her chair. She never misses the mark on what I ask…
Te’Niya did such an incredible job with my hair, I don’t do much with my hair usually and she made it look so gorgeous and healthy! And she was so kind and fun to talk to the whole appointment! Can’t wait for my next cut, never going anywhere else!
Ashley has been my stylist for 5 years now and I trust her completely! She listened to my concerns and preferences, suggested a few different options and has been willing to adapt and change as my tastes and preferences have! I love that she takes the time to educate me on the science behind coloring, give me tips…
Ashley is “my person” and I absolutely do NOT trust anyone else with my hair. Ashley has a beautiful sense of style, a great eye and offers an honest opinion about how to best color, style and has great taste overall. I highly recommend her and her team to develop a long term relationship!! I have been with her for 10 years and would follow her anywhere!
The best service! The best experience! And my hair looks great!!!
