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!
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…
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…
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…
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…
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!
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…
Highly recommend!! Laura did an excellent job and I will definitely be going back❤️
Beautiful salon. Love Ashley. My hair has never looked better!
Went to Laura for a haircut and a blowout and it was amazing!! She’s the sweetest.
I grew up wishing I had beautiful long hair. I have so many memories of crying leaving salon after salon. Then I met Ashley and this very talented lady changed my life! I have the hair I’ve always dreamed of and I can’t believe it’s mine! Fringe isn’t just a salon, it’s an experience and definitely one you should have.
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…
Wanted to try out extensions for the first time and Teniya did absolutely amazing! Not only is she super knowledgeable about what she does, she has a warm personality that made me really enjoy the experience. I’m feeling so confident and have never had my hair look so good. Highly recommend!
