Beautiful salon and vibe! Love everyone there. Customer service is excellent and top notch. My curl specialist Timo is EVERYTHING! She has definitely helped transform my curls and also educate me on taking care of them.

I have been coming here for years and love this salon! It's a great space and Timo is the best! I also hired Daphne for my wedding hair and she did a great job! It took her about 2 hours to do hair for myself and 5 bridesmaids. She was easy to work with and everyone looked great!

I am so happy that I found Caroline and Hair Smith and Co! I recently moved to the Charlottesville area and found her work on her hair Instagram page. I absolutely love my hair! It’s exactly what I want. I naturally have very dark hair and she toned the balayage I already had and added in some highlights and lowlights and a root smudge and it’s perfect!!
