Excellent haircut and highlights by Kim. Exactly what I wanted in the color.
They did amazing on my sons blue Mohawk
Very nice, helpful staff. I came in with a picture and an idea of how I wanted my hair to look. They looked at the picture, explained what was possible and what wasn’t and did a great job. I’ll go back when I need another cut because they did such a great job. Thank you all😊
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!
I have used this place for haircuts and always loved what I got so I decided to try color. I wanted something edgy since my job will not allow vibrant colors so I went with silver to white balayage highlights. I did a consultation and everything seemed to be going great. Was told this wouldn't be a problem and I…
Salon Afton is simply the best. Selena was amazing! I’m thrilled with the highlights and the cut. Professional and talented. Thank you.
Great experience at Salon Afton. Selina is awesome!
Salon Afton was recommended to me by my neighbor. I booked an appointment with Holly. She was AMAZING!!!! My hair turned out PERFECT! I would highly recommend her! The whole salon was so cute and Kim was awesome too!
Had a great experience with Ashley! Got in quickly, and she did an amazing, meticulous job highlighting my hair! I will definitely be a regular!
I’m a first time customer and Sonjia did an excellent job with my hair!
I’m new to NC. I called the salon. Nancy got me set up with Ashley Geiger and I love her. I love my hair. Ashley and salon Afton have a new client. I’m very happy with my new salon and my new stylist Ashley. She’s a sweetheart. ❤️❤️❤️
Ashley did a great job and was determined to have me leave satisfied and happy.
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.
Audrey did an amazing job on my hair and have gotten so many compliments. Best haircut I’ve ever had! Been growing g out for so long and finally was able to shape it how I wanted! Audrey did an amazing job!
Staff is friendly and I always leave feeling amazing!
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!
Great experience!
Amazing work
Salon Afton has a wonderful and caring staff & I love my blonde highlights from Rhianna! She did an amazing job of taking the notes from my previous stylist and applying it to my hair. I always get nervous going to someone new for blonde but she made me feel at ease. Thank you!
Ashley did such a great job low lighting my hair and cutting it off exactly how I asked. I love my new look and am so happy with my salon experience!
Selina was awesome! Already booked my next appt and one for my daughter!
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…
Salina Ramos is so professional. Creates a relaxing visit. Excellent cut n foil. Thanks
Loved the service I received yesterday 1/13/2026 which was also my birthday! Love how my hair turned out. Would recommend 10/10! 😊
Ashley took her time and gave me exactly what I asked for. On a side note they have the most comfortable hair wash station set up. 10/10 recommend!
I went in for highlights and haircut with Sonjia and loved it! She’s very talented, listened and made the whole experience enjoyable. Go book your appointment with her!
Came in for a color correction and Sonjia worked wonders on my hair, highly recommend her. This salon has a great atmosphere and good people.
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…
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…
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.
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!
Amazing work, atmosphere, and positive energy throughout. Aubrie is AMAZING and I’m so happy with how my hair came out
This was my first visit to Salon Afton. My hair was a mess when I walked in. Selina did a partial highlight, cut and blow dry. I’m just starting to let my natural gray grow out without root coverage. She chose an ash blonde highlight and I absolutely loved it! I give Selina 5 stars, but the cost was a bit high, so 4…
I’ve been going to Afton Salon for over a year now. Number one: Abby does an amazing job on my hair! Number two: everyone there is kind and friendly. Number three: The salon is a calm, relaxing environment… Sometimes Sadie is there which is a definite plus if you like dogs!
Went in for full foil. Highlights were great but cut is completely messed up. Probably won’t go back due to extremely high cost and bad cut
Selina isn't a professional in any way But charges professional prices that no one could see Why I won't be back
Brittany always does an excellent job! She did a custom highlight this time & blends lovely with my hair! Thank you!
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!
Loved the atmosphere before even walking in. Very cute and trendy. Even better you can bring your dog with you!!
