Very friendly staff, felt like I was at a family gathering
Second time here for root color and blow out. I have curly hair and the blows outs both times have been fabulous.
Sonjia is highly recommended when it comes to a hair cut and hair coloring, We are very happy customers.
Mai is all around great!
Rhianna I was such a great job on my hair. She always listens to my concerns and addresses them. She does a great job with my color and cut every time.
Whether it’s getting my hair done for a keynote, news appearance, or event gala, Salon Afton is my first stop. Sonja has revitalized my hair routine and up keep over the last year! She is now my go to for all events!
I’ve been coming here for years because I know I will always leave with a haircut I love.
I’m new to the area, so I was hesitant about having a new hair stylist. Mae did a great job color matching so my touched up roots blended well with the rest of my hair. Highly recommended!
I had a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I had been growing my hair out from a pixie cut and was looking to refresh my look. Holly really listened to what I wanted and delivered amazing results!
Selena listens and makes good suggestions on color. Pricing is good. Timely and great location and parking.
The most wonderful salon ever! Sonjia cuts my entire family and we adore her
Absolutely love Salon Afton! The salon is super cute, clean, and inviting. Aubrie is amazing and always makes me feel beautiful when I leave. Nancy is also fantastic! Everyone is friendly and professional. Highly recommend!
I had been going back to my “natural” (whatever that is!) brown hair color for about a year. With the summer hitting, the root touch ups I was getting elsewhere was giving my hair a not so desired reddish tint in the sun. Rhianna did a great job by blending 2 shades together and doing some “highlights” with the…
This is the best salon. They love seeing you as much as you will love being there. They work so hard to give you exactly what you want while also guiding to give you the best style that fits. Everyone is wonderful and you are safe in all of their hands no matter who you book with!
Love Selina!! Love the service
I love going to Salon Afton because I know I will feel beautiful when I leave. Selina does a wonderful job in supporting me with my transition from no longer coloring to embracing my gray. Love it!
Whitney gave me a great cut, better than the photo I showed her. This was my first time seeing Whitney and we hit it off immediately. She is pleasant, professional and a great stylist! Def will ask for her again. (Susan Henry)
Salon Afton is simply the best. Selena was amazing! I’m thrilled with the highlights and the cut. Professional and talented. Thank you.
This was my first appointment with Aubrie and she was wonderful! She did a fantastic job on my color and cut. The receptionist was so friendly and helpful while making appointments. The salon is beautiful. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Love Aubrie at Salon Afton. She does terrific color/highlights/lowlights and always looks out for the health of my hair.
Aubrie was very thorough and had great technique coloring, washing, and straightening my hair. Highly recommend!
I had the pleasure to have Aubrie take care of me. I had color and styled my hair. She was very professional and so nice to talk to. I know her because of her Mom, Traci. Very gentle and loved my shampoo and massage. I was very well greeted. I love the salon. I will be back soon. My Friend is also going to…
Aubrie is knowledgeable and creative. She’s professional and friendly.
Holly was great! I needed a cut and color and she made my hair look fantastic it’s exactly what I wanted!
Staff is Knowledgeable, talented and so kind. Blessed to have found them! Highly recommend 😊
Holly is the best! If you have had bad experiences with color going wrong - after paying outrageous prices - give Salon Afton a call! The atmosphere Is relaxing, not elitist. Such a calm and cool place with nice people! And Holly knows what she’s doing! Thankful I found her.
Ashley did a great job and was determined to have me leave satisfied and happy.
Kim Cameron, the Owner, has taken care of me for over 15 years - she’s the best! Thanks so much for everything Kim!
The salon and staff are very inviting. Ashley colored and cut my hair and it looks amazing! She has true talent.
Second time I have visited this salon and will continue to go back. Ashley did a wonderful job with little information to go off of. I was not sure exactly what I wanted at the time of my appointment and she nailed it. Highly recommend scheduling with her as she really took the time to explain the why behind what…
Bright, welcoming salon with a competent but not pretentious vibe. Brittaney did a great job with both cut and color. UPDATE- I continue to love this Salon. Now working with Mae who gives excellent, meticulous cuts and color that stand up over time.
Rhianna was amazing and gave me the style I really wanted. Salon is super cute, great staff.
Ashley is very knowledgeable about color and she is super sweet and patient.
Very warm & welcoming salon! The most comfortable wash chairs - IYKYK !! Holly was very friendly, listened to everything I wanted & offered excellent suggestions. She not only took excellent care of me, but also my two daughters - who both walked out with big smiles! We look forward to our next visit!
Amazing work
Soo amazing! Ashley G is the best! Such a cute salon!
Great experience as always! Ashley did a cut & balayage for me and did an amazing job. I am so happy with the style & color and she was so easy to talk to during the appointment.
My first time and this salon was amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff and they make sure you are completely satisfied. I’d rate them a 20 if I could. Ask for Holly.
New in town and rolled the dice on a new salon and stylist. I am very happy. Rhianna is great and my interaction with everyone there has been as well.
Everyone is so nice and professional. Aubrie is fantastic, highly recommend!
Always have a wonderful experience!
I had moved away from the area so I hadn’t come to Afton Salon in many many years. When I had no luck with other salons I decided to book an appointment back with Afton Salon. I was scheduled with Selena. I could not be any happier. What a wonderful environment in that salon, making me feel so comfortable. All the…
I am so thankful for salon Afton ! I had a last second cancellation with my hair stylist and I called and they worked me in and I had an amazing stylist Ashley who colored and trimmed my hair and it turned out amazing . I will be returning 🙏🏻
I went in with lifeless hair and came out with vibrant beautiful hair. Ashley did a great job.
Always a great experience!!!
Absolutely love having my hair cut and colored by Ashley! It looks amazing and easy to style!
This was my first visit. My color was excellent and the stylist was super nice and really listened to me. I will definitely be back for my next appointment. Thank you.
Brittaney and the entire staff at Salon Afton were fantastic! This was my first visit to the salon and they have a new client! Thank you for offering wonderful service in a clean and friendly atmosphere.
So friendly and very happy with cut and color.
I had a new stylist today because my previous stylist, who was awesome is not available for the time being at least. Aubrie was fantastic! I asked her about some changes I wanted to make and she took the time to explain everything and answered all of my questions, which were many. I left very happy with my color/cut…
I’m new to NC, so choosing a new stylist is scary. Sonjia was great! I will definitely be returning to her.
Always a great experience at Salon Afton!
Salon Afton was wonderful. I was able to get my young daughter and I’s hair taken care of at one place. They were kind, professional, and our hair looks great!
Abby is wonderful. I’ve changed up how I want my hair done every time I’m in her chair and she always does a great job with whatever I throw at her. Most recently she did an awesome reverse balayage because I wasn’t loving the sharp grow out from my highlights. My hair looks so much more natural and the blonde…
Selina went above and beyond! She was very knowledgeable about the process and how to make my hair match my facial features and complexion. Highly recommend her and Salon Afton!!
My family and I have loved every experience at this salon. We’ve had hair done by various stylists and they always listen and ensure customer satisfaction! I highly recommend their services!
I can’t recommend Mandy Ashley at Salon Afton enough. If you’re looking for a shop to give you extra attention and actually listen to what you want, this is the place to go.I had a wonderful experience there.
Holly is fantastic! She spent a lot of time making sure my hair was just right! The cut was quick and efficient but done with care and precision.
Normally my experience is fantastic here. However, I had a migraine that was light and sound sensitive. I called them at 10, because they don't answer the phone before then, to let them know my 10 appointment would need rescheduled due to a migraine. They wouldn't reschedule until I paid half the appointment, which…
I enjoyed meeting Selena and look forward to another appointment
Had an amaaaazing experience here. It was my first time ever getting my hair colored, but Holly made the process feel so easy and the results speak for themselves!
Abby always does a wonderful job with cut and color.
I had a fantastic experience at Salon Afton. Everyone was very welcoming. Sadie, the Great Dane, was so cute. Selina did a great job on my hair. She got me to the blonde I wanted and gave me a great haircut. I will definitely be coming back to see her!
Aubrie was fantastic! I was nervous to try a new stylist after seeing the same one for 15 years at a different place. Aubrie asked me exactly what I wanted and then executed in record time. She was friendly and extremely efficient! I can’t wait to come back.
I’ve been doing my hair with Mandy for a little over a year. She is AMAZING!! Always understands exactly what I want. Everyone at this salon is extremely nice and they always make everyone feel welcome. Parking is easy and their prices are very reasonable…
Aubrie did great job. They welcomed me so warm. She is so polite, professional, passionate and kind. Appreciate her service.
Salon Afton does everything to make your visit pleasant from the moment you walk into the salon. Everyone makes you feel special and want to fill all your haircare needs. You will leave like you are royalty after your visit.
My hair was perfect. Holly did a wonderful job coloring my roots. Everyone is so super nice and helpful. I'm very well pleased. I would highly recommend this salon.
Finding a salon that you feel comfortable with and meets your needs can be hard but after reading the reviews on Salon Afton and its nearby proximity to me in Concord, I felt confident in my decision. After many years of having “virgin” hair, I decided to get a Balayage with Brittaney. She is awesome! I was super…
This salon provides a relaxed atmosphere with creature comfort. Holly put festive tinsel in my hair to make it pop!
Abby es maravillosa, dulce y siempre te da las mejores ideas para el cuidado de tu cabello. Tiene una mano excelente para que tu cabello crezca.
Staff are all very friendly and professional and go out of their way to may sure I had a great experience and results.
Great experience! Everyone was so nice & I’m really happy with my hair. And a canine Hairapist!! What could be better?
Very chilled environment. Friendly people. Pricing in par with other salons in area. Enjoyed experience.
Holly really listened and took the time to help with color selection and what would and wouldn’t work. I wanted something a little different but didn’t book enough time so Holly did what she could in the time we had. Love the color
So understanding, I was military there for for 4 years my hair was so unhealthy and I spent the last 3 years getting my hair to grow and fill in where I was balding, I had my first professional hair cut at this location and they understood that I wanted minimal heat. Later when I went to get my hair colored my…
It was my first visit to Salon Afton and I was a bit nervous. Abby put me at ease, she matched my hair color (actually suggested a different shade which was perfect) and gave me a great short haircut. I’ll be back!
I believe I was extremely overcharged for a haircut, highlights and styling (for the experience of the stylist.) I had to request a complimentary appointment to have the back of my hair razor cut, the next day, so that it would lie flat. I expect my appointment request of highlights to be filled by the end of March.…
Selina isn't a professional in any way But charges professional prices that no one could see Why I won't be back
Mandy was great. Atmosphere was friendly. Very clean.
I love Salon Afton! They have a great atmosphere and the ambiance makes you want to come back time after time. The receptionist is very helpful both over the phone and in the salon. All the stylists are professional and do a great job!
Aubrie did an amazing job!!!! Thank you for getting me on the schedule quickly!
I love the color of my hair! Kim works miracles with my unruly natural curls. I have been going to her for a long time and have always been satisfied with the results!! Never retire Kim!!
Great salon with welcoming casual vibe. Holly does a perfect color and cut. Consistent every time. Personal service at front desk ensures appointments, rescheduling and hospitality are top notch.
I wanted to change my bright red hair to a color that blends my grey and white hair. I came in for a free consultation with HOLLY. She planned 4 hours plan to convert the red to a beautiful blended ash blonde color. Holly careful created a beautiful new natural look.Though Holly was honest about some of the…
This salon is so friendly, I am here visiting some of my family and they have really taken great care of my hair needs. Aubrie my stylist is so sweet and very knowledgeable. I am so pleased I highly recommend them and Aubrie. Highly recommend them 😃
Brittany always does an excellent job! She did a custom highlight this time & blends lovely with my hair! Thank you!
Had a wonderful experience with Aubrie Brigman , she gives the best shampoo around and My hair color has never looked so good!!!!!Thank you Aubrie
Love love love my hair and SALON AFTON! Always a great experience and i always feel so beautiful when I leave!
i had a great experience both getting my bangs cut here and getting my hair done. the service is amazing and the hairdressers all seem so nice and generous!
Abby worked some major magic on my hair today! Thank you !!
Aubrie is terrific! I have fine, straight hair and she did a great job cutting it. The color she did was exactly what I wanted.
I have been going here for several months now. I really like how Holly cuts my hair. She is very thorough with it and checks the layers once it is dry. She did partial highlights on my hair and I was not a fan of how it turned out. She missed a section in my hair and the entire underpart remained untouched. She also…
Adorable salon! Clean organized and comfortable! Highly recommended!
Aubrie did a fantastic job with the color and was helpful with ideas for styling while I grow my hair out from a short cut.
Brittany took a little extra time to add some custom highlights underneath my hair🤩 She really listens to my needs and I appreciate that
Just moved to the area and it is safe to say, I found my new salon. Great consultation and amazing service.
Booked at the salon with Aubrey based on previous reviews and was not disappointed. I LOVE my haircut and Aubrey advised me the best way to handle transitioning the color from white areas to highlights. I will definitely be back.
I brought my Great Nieces in for a color and cut by Selina. She did a wonderful job with both children 12 and 13. They were both thrilled and feel great about themselves! I couldn’t ask for more. We have been back several times and will continue to do so. Thank you Selina!
Everyone is so polite and helpful! They pay attention to detail and customer care and service. This was my first visit and I will definitely keep coming back. Great job guys!!
Kim is amazing ! I love the color and staff very friendly ! The office dog Sadie such a cutie . The entire office vibe is great!! Thank you again!!!
I paid way more than what I was told
Very experienced personnel. They really pay attention to the problems I have with my hair, and make suggestions about which products I should use and how to best style my hair.
It's always a wonderful experience at salon Afton. Whitney is incredible. She always makes me look great.
Amazing! From the moment I walked in and met a sweet and loving dog to the second I left I was amazed at the professionalism and kindness I was shown. My highlights turned out great and I can’t wait to go back!
I wasn’t “quite” happy with the color at first and so she fixed it to make me happy. That is a great stylist! (Pictures help)
Selina did a amazing job doing my hair definitely will be back.
I love Salon Afton. They have new hours and works great with my schedule.
My daughter and I have had wonderful experiences with Abby. Prices are a bit more then I thought however, I’m happy with the results.
Loved the atmosphere before even walking in. Very cute and trendy. Even better you can bring your dog with you!!
Nice ambiance, good music, happy with my highlights-thank you so much Brittaney! Oh, Sadie is amazing!
I've been coming there for a few times now and Holly does my hair and every single time she has done an amazing job not just with color but with cut and styling as well and when you're indecisive she takes her time and listens and looks at pictures if you show her and helps you come up with something that you are…
Whitney does my hair She is awesome I always get comments after she does my hair Great hair stylist
Aubree does fantastic work and the salon is warm and welcoming.
Kim is fabulous. She listened to what I wanted. I am happy with the results. I absolutely recommend this salon.
Amazing staff & friendly environment! Brittaney has been doing my cut & color, as well as my daughters for a couple of years now & the level of quality & service received every time is much appreciated.
I always have a spa moment when getting my hair done! Kim has been amazing to me in the years I’ve been coming to the salon. Her crew is amazing as well. Never disappoints!! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm also blessed with her support where now I am regrowing hair after losing it all due to cancer. That alone has meant the world to me.…
Great salon! Highly recommend
I had a great experience with Holly at Salon Afton. She colored, cut and styled my hair. She takes time to listen to what you want and is great about making suggestions and/or answering questions about different hair styles. I highly recommend her!
I originally had a plan of going lighter but unfortunately my hair wasn’t quite healthy enough. They worked with me on a plan to get my hair healthier and back to blonde! Plus I got a super cute new style for the meantime. I appreciate their honesty and their helpfulness! I left extremely happy!
