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!
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…
I’ve been going to Ashley to have my hair colored, cut and styled for over 20 years! She always does a wonderful job bringing to life my vision for my hair which is no easy feat given it’s length. I love seeing her in her own shop (which is super cute and relaxing) and highly recommend this business to anyone looking for excellent hair care!
The best service! The best experience! And my hair looks great!!!
Ashley has been my stylist for over 10 years and I wouldn’t have anyone else do my hair. I feel so pampered at every visit, from the head massage while my hair is washed to the last fluff of my hair when I leave. I receive so many compliments on my cuts and styling.
Fringe Collective is the most beautiful salon in Cville! I received the best haircut of my life here. Shannon is the absolute best! Would highly recommend Shannon. She specializes in cutting long hair and has been doing so for many years. Her expertise shows. She has amazing customer service and takes her time to…
I have been seeing Ashley for almost 9 years for hair cuts/coloring and have only amazing things to say! I drive 1.5 hours each way to come to Fringe because of their high quality service. Fringe has a perfect location close to shopping/restaurants and it’s always exceptionally clean. The staff is very friendly and…
Look no further than Fringe for all of your hair hopes and dreams! I searched for years to have the best hair experience in Charlottesville and I finally found it at Fringe. Ashley is incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent when it comes to hair artistry! If it's your first time, she'll work to understand what your…
Stephanie is my hair stylist. I feel completely comfortable with her! She always does an amazing job on my hair. If I’m at a loss with what to do, she is helpful with suggestions without being overbearing. She’s great about talking if I want to talk, but seems just as happy if I’m feeling more quiet or…
Love Fringe! The staff is super knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The space is lovely and stylish and it feels like a relaxing, indulgent experience when I go get my hair done. They take great care of you and Ashley is wonderful at listening to her clients’ needs and considering their lifestyle when…
I have been a client of Ashley’s for over 20 years! Her talent with all things hair never ceases to amaze me. She takes the time at every appointment to review likes and dislikes (very rare) since the last time. I put my hair in her hands and she hasn’t ever let me down.
I’ve been working with Shannon for almost 7 months now for hair coloring, haircuts & eyelash extensions. She is SO AMAZING!! Her Customer Service is out of this world (10/10!!). She is so sweet, professional, knowledgeable and goes above & beyond to make her guests feel at home while visiting Fringe. I can’t speak…
Love this place. So cute and welcoming inside. Ashley is amazing. I always leave there feeling beautiful.
I have been a client of Ashley’s at Fringe Collective for years now. As a long time resident of Charlottesville, I feel like I hit the jackpot! My hair is wavy and can be difficult to manage. I have certainly tried many places in the area and can say that this is the absolute BEST! From the highlights to the…
I have been going to Ashley for years, and so has my extended family. She is wonderful and caring and really does a beautiful job with my curly hair. Love her new salon and she works with fantastic people —Shannon and Amanda, in particular, are lovely and do amazing work as well. It’s a joy to be pampered at Fringe!
I tried a few different salons in cville before I found Ashley. She is simply the best! I always love her styling/ cut suggestions and trust her implicitly. The space is gorgeous, and Ashley and Amanda will make you feel at home. Amanda’s brow and nail services are magic!
I look forward to every appointment! I love how my Fringe ladies listen to what I want, discuss goals at the beginning of our appointment, and provide exceptional service during every step of the process!
