Sonia cut my hair and she was amazing. Had great suggestions on hair products I wanted. Natalie cut my husband's hair and she was fantastic. All around great service.
I brought my 11 year old here to get her first salon experience and we weren’t disappointed!! Our stylist made sure my kiddo felt comfortable and relaxed the whole time! The atmosphere of the entire salon was peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be coming back for all of our hair care needs!
MARIAH was awesome with my hair.The Customer Service at the salon was awesome all the way around and I would suggest Mariah to anyone who wants a great hair cut and style.
Excellent haircut and highlights by Kim. Exactly what I wanted in the color.
Sonjia is highly recommended when it comes to a hair cut and hair coloring, We are very happy customers.
I brought my young boys to the salon and everyone was so kind and patient with them. The haircuts are amazing. I highly recommend them!
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.
Salina was great! I had a great experience! She was very professional and friendly.
Always 10/10
Won’t be coming back to this salon. My stylist was not interested in doing her job. Barely washed my hair and didn’t even cut the layers I asked for. I specifically asked for layers and all I got was a trim.
Sonja is great
Love the service!! Selena is an amazing stylist
I’ve been coming here for years because I know I will always leave with a haircut I love.
I have been impressed with Sonja’s haircutting expertise, but I have to say that after my last cut, she sent me out of the shop with all of my top hair brushed down on the front of my face. I could hardly believe it. As a result, I am cancelling my next scheduled appointment, which I believe is on Wednesday, August 5.
I didn't get a layered haircut that I asked.
So glad I found this salon and don’t overpay for cheap looking haircuts at the big name places anymore. Ashley nails it every time!
I was in town visiting family & needed a haircut badly 😑. From the moment I got there everyone was friendly & welcoming. Mae was my stylist & she was wonderful! She took her time & several times stopped to ask me if I was good with the length & process. She had a few suggestions which were great! My husband &…
Such a good experience! Very detailed and I loved my hair cut!
Marcia with the adorable curly red hair did a phenomenal job on my hair! She listened to exactly how I wanted it and made it happen! Highly recommend 10/10
Aubrie was fantastic. I’m a guy with curly hair and I have trouble with the length. Inevitably I get frustrated and cut it all off. And then regret it later. I asked Aubrie for help and advice. This was based solely on internet search and reviews. And it was a fantastic experience start to finish. I AM frustrated…
Mae was wonderful! I had a great scalp massage when she washed my hair and she was so patient and kind. She did a great job providing me with the haircut I wanted. I definitely left happy! Please go visit Mae!
After my stylist I had for years did a career change I have been in search for a hairstylist! Selina Ramos heard my concerns and I finally feel like I have a cut that suits my curly hair while still having layers and LOVE it! The salon is in a great location and is super cute I wish I knew it was here sooner! Will definitely be back and bringing my bf!!
Rhianna was absolutely wonderful! I will be back. :)
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!
Salon is beautiful, peaceful and welcoming. Selina was terrific and so personable . I think I found my new salon.
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😊
First visit to the salon and it was great! Aubrie was fantastic and eager to listen to my hair style request. I received exactly what I asked for and I highly recommend Aubrie! I will be returning for color next and I look forward to it.
Selena listens and makes good suggestions on color. Pricing is good. Timely and great location and parking.
Rihanna was And amazing experience, professional, She really understood exactly what I wanted a haircut. And she cut my hair, beautiful, and I was very satisfied with the service and my haircut. Rihanna is very polite very nice and have attention to detail. very patient while cutting my hair. I don’t remember the…
Just not at all what I showed a picture of. Went way too short on sides right off the bat and there was no going back. Won’t be back
my girlfriend loves it
Love this salon. I don’t have room in my schedule to make appointments. I call the day I have time. I always get in and every stylist has given me a beautiful haircut.
Great place for a men’s haircut! Sonja does a fantastic job. She’s very talented. Thank you for a great cut always Jim
Love Aubrie! She always listens to what you want.
I went in for a hair cut with Mariah. She did an amazing job. She let me know what she was doing with every step. I felt very comfortable in her chair.
The most wonderful salon ever! Sonjia cuts my entire family and we adore her
Great service and very cozy Solon
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…
Aubrie a great stylist. She works wonders with fine hair. I would recommend her to anyone.
Always a great experience.
Great place! They work to get you an appointment as quickly as possible! 🙂
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!
Always enjoy my experience at Salon Afton. Wasn't crazy about spending $60 for a basic cut, but Rhianna made the cost worth it with a luxurious hair wash and added layers.
I can’t recommend this salon enough! I scheduled a same-day haircut with Mariah and she was amazing! I would absolutely go back to see her again, she checked in with me multiple times throughout the appointment to ensure that I got the results I wanted, and gave me a lot of great information about how to take care…
Mariah is great!
It's truly 5 star service.
Excellent Salon! Extremely personable staff and absolutely love my haircut, Holly gave me exactly what I was looking for. I will most definitely be back also was extremely affordable🥰
Love Selina!! Love the service
First visit to Salon Afton. Mariah was awesome. Took her time to understand what I wanted and my cut turned out exactly as I wanted. I’ll definitely be back!
Kim, Mae, Holly, Aubrey have always taken good care! Not just of me- my whole family. We love the quality and care this place has. Nancy at the front desk helped me take these photos. It is always a very welcoming environment! Very professional staff; I am always quickly served and helped to setup my next visit.
Sonjia is friendly and made sure she understood what I was requesting before she started my haircut. I felt very comfortable in her chair and left looking sharp.
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!
My first time here and it was great! Nice people. Great service! Love my new haircut and the scalp massage was amazing!
Great experience and hair cut with Ashley!
Great experience today! I called to see if there were any appointments available for a haircut and they got me booked the same day. Mariah was very nice, explained everything she was going to do before she did it, and made sure I was satisfied after my hair was dried (she said I could have her cut more if there were…
Salon Afton is simply the best. Selena was amazing! I’m thrilled with the highlights and the cut. Professional and talented. Thank you.
What a lovely salon. Warm, friendly. My stylist was talented and listened to my request.
Love Salon Afton !! Ashley always has my hair on fleek !!!
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.
I have been going here for a year now and everyone at Afton Salon is so friendly and welcoming! I use Aubrie for my men’s haircut and she is always outstanding!!! When starting out, she took time in figuring out what I wanted, and knows what I like. Aubrie is really good at listening and giving advice on what will…
Friendly relaxing atmosphere, love my hair!
Im always greeted with a smile. Abby is great. I showed her a haircut photo and she took the time to discuss the cut and gave me good styling tips. I highly recommend Salon Afton and Abby
The lady at the counter was super nice and asked if I wanted adrink or anything. The wait wasnt very long either. The lady that cut my hair Selina Ramos helped me get my hair exactly the way I wanted it. There was also a very sweet puppy that came up and I was petting. Overall a great experience !
Aubrie does great cuts. Nancy at the front is friendly and very efficient.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but after two days of feeling frustrated every time I look in the mirror I wanted to just lay this out: My experience at this salon was not horrible, but not great either. It was my first time ever treating myself to a salon experience, as my mom has cut my hair my whole life but I…
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!
This was my second time going to Ashley at Afton Salon and she is so great!! She listened to what I wanted and helped me make decisions that worked with my hair and gave me tips on how to style my hair. I can’t recommend the salon or Ashley enough!! As soon as you walk in the receptionist is welcoming and offers…
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!
Based on the reviews, I decided to go to this salon for a haircut with Holly, but I’m not very happy with the result. I wanted layers in my hair, and we discussed it in detail—I even showed an inspiration picture—but the final look is nothing close to what I had in mind. Also, she only used a razor blade for the…
This was the best experience I have ever had at a hair salon! Holly was AMAZING! She was so kind and really listened to me and helped me choose the best style for my hair! 10/10 recommend this amazing salon!
Got shampoo, cut and style. First time visiting this salon and stylist. Amazing atmosphere. Stylist listened to what I wanted and did an amazing job. Cut was on point. Went over styling products for my hair needs. I will go back.
I had a great experience. The head and scalp massage after the wash was my favorite part. Rhianna gave me a nice fresh cut and style. I will definitely be back!
Great haircut from Holly!
Selena was absolutely AMAZING!! I LOVE my hair sooo much.. I hadn't had my hair cut in 21 yrs and was so nervous.. she made my experience relaxing and wonderful.. thank you so much Selena!! You're amazing i went from flat hair to beautiful wavey hair..
My haircut was very quick and Ashley was super sweet. She gave me exactly what I wanted and was very helpful and patient.
Staff is Knowledgeable, talented and so kind. Blessed to have found them! Highly recommend 😊
Selena did an amazing job exactly what I asked. She was quick and proficient did not waste time and did it with excellence would highly recommend.
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. ❤️❤️❤️
Sonja did my hair yesterday and it’s gorgeous! I had tried coming up here a few years ago and was not entirely thrilled with my experience, so I have been hesitant to come back. It was the only place I could confirm to have openings in the timeframe I needed before work. Sonja has completely earned my trust. She was…
Ashley did a great job and was determined to have me leave satisfied and happy.
Loved this salon!
I always have an awesome experience at Salon Afton. Everyone there is always very nice. Rhianna is very easy to talk to & did an amazing job on my hair. I love how my hair turned out, the cut is perfect & I look forward to returning for future appointments.
Thank You! Ashley, for the haircut. its exactly what I wanted. Thank you for all the suggestions too.
Kim Cameron, the Owner, has taken care of me for over 15 years - she’s the best! Thanks so much for everything Kim!
This was my first time visiting Salon Afton and it was by far the best experience I have had with getting my hair cut! Selina did an amazing job and everyone was so nice. I will definitely be returning for trims!
Mae was absolutely amazing! A lot of stylist rush through their appointment's but she takes her time and listens to make sure it’s exactly what you want. I’m not very talkative during appts but she made me feel very comfortable. Will definitely be going back to have her so my hair again.
The salon and staff are very inviting. Ashley colored and cut my hair and it looks amazing! She has true talent.
Everyone was friendly. Didn't get the style I wanted even showed her a picture. The price was outrageous, 200.00 for just a perm not counting a haircut (1"), blow-dry and styling. Oh don't forget the tip, the stylist will stand there until you are completely finished paying. Almost like intimidation. I won't be returning.
My experience at the Salon Afton was excellent. Aubrie cut and dried my hair, very friendly and my cut turned out just as I expected. I loved it. ♥️
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.
Cozy salon with great service, everyone was super welcoming
Got my hair cut and styled by Ashley and she did a wonderful job! Wonderfully priced as well, I will definitely be coming back!
Rhianna was amazing and gave me the style I really wanted. Salon is super cute, great staff.
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!
Ashley is very knowledgeable about color and she is super sweet and patient.
She is great! I love my haircut…
Salon Afton is such a comfortable spot and Aubrie is excellent as a stylist ! Highly recommended 😊
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!
I don’t get my haircut often so I made a appt for a shampoo, conditioner, Scalp massage, which is my favorite part, cut, blow dry and style. I sat in her chair and the gal asked when was the last time I washed my hair and of course I had that morning. So she said oh you don’t need a wash.. She then continued to cut…
Everyone was so sweet here. Holly did a great job with my daughter’s hair cut. She felt so special and beautiful and can’t stop talking about how much she loved going to the salon. I had my hair done by Ashley and she did a great job! She listened to my requests and made my vision work for my hair. She is so sweet…
Amazing work
Salon Afton is very conveniently located and the staff always meets you with a welcoming smile. The stylists are exceedingly talented pros, with warm personalities. The time at Salon Afton is well-spent, always a positive experience! My hair has been cut and styled by a true professional, it looks good and feels…
Holly was amazing! This was my first visit and it was a welcoming experience, great haircut and wonderful people! Highly recommend!
Very knowledgeable and professional cut. I was looking for some contemporary thinking and was impressed with the variety that I witnessed from everyone there.
Holly was great for a quick haircut and style!
I booked with Holly and she did an awesome job! She gave me a super cute hair cut, I loved it! The staff was very friendly, the salon is super cute and easy to find. Will definitely be coming back for my next haircut.
Soo amazing! Ashley G is the best! Such a cute salon!
I will not be back. My stylist talked for an hour and cut my hair for minutes in between her talking. I asked for specific things and she didn’t do them. When I brought it to her attention at the end, she randomly cut and left my hair boxy and the layer uneven. She didn’t listen to what I wanted.
The people there are really nice and did a great job
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.
Everyone was very nice. The reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is because I chose this salon because on their website they talk about customizing and working with you for a great haircut. My visit was just a “what are we doing today?” And nothing further. My haircut is nice, but there wasn’t any discourse about…
My first time at Salon Afton, Nancy front end manager and Rhianna Kaehler were fabulous! Rhianna was honest about my current cut and how we can grow into the style I want. She gave me a great haircut and was a pleasure to meet! Looking forward to going back soon.
I was so happy to find a place that didn’t charge a million dollars for a curly cut! Holly did a wonderful job and knew how to treat wavy/curly hair.
I just moved to area past year. Ive been looking for a salon i liked. I definitely have found that salon with them. Did exactly what i asked & helped me make rite choice for my haircut n my hair style without cutting to much off. Definitely recommend going here if you haven’t. I have a 18 month old that I’m a stay…
My stylist is Kim . I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Salon Afton.
I was greeted the moment I walked in by a very sweet lady who offered me coffee, etc. Very little wait time and Holly did a spectacular cut. Very cozy atmosphere and the prices are reasonable. I will definitely be a repeat client.
Great experience! I had a wonderful hair cut and style. Rhianna was very patient with me as I talked about what I wanted.
Everyone is so nice and professional. Aubrie is fantastic, highly recommend!
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!
The cut was absolutely perfect! The coffee was fantastic!
I had a very good experience. I love the way Holly cut and styled my hair!
We just moved to Charlotte and Salon Afton was recommended by a new friend. I had never meant Sonjia, but indicated I would like my gray hair cut at medium length, allow for random parting, and would like two cowlicks controlled. She did a wonderful job with one of my best cuts ever…
My hair dresser/stylist is fantastic even though never on time. The salon does have someone “up front” -a live person to answer the phone and check you in and I really like that. However, there’s no seating or lobby area while you wait for your stylist and the cost is well over priced. $50 for 12 min.haircut—that’s $250 pay per hour. If only teachers…..
Aubrie was so kind! I have long hair and I’ve had many bad haircuts at other salons in the past. Aubrie was patient and confirmed the amount to cut 3 times before making the chop! It was very appreciated! I definitely will go back to Aubrie for my future cuts.
First time there. Everyone was very friendly.
I really needed to get a cut, thought i would only be able to get a bang trim, but Aubrey was able to squeeze me in, and i was delighted!
It was great. Love it!
My poor stylist got from me nothing… what would you like? Me: I don’t know. What did you feel like? Me: I don’t know, is this how you normally part your hair? Me: I guess it depends on the day. I’d just like something keeping the length but giving me a style but I don’t use products ever. That’s what she got from me…
I finished my Dr appt and received wonderful news. My appointment with you was my celebration. Thank you
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
Another great haircut from Holly. I love that I can get my hair shampooed, cut, dried and styled in less than an hour!
This was such a welcoming environment! Mae was amazing and super sweet! She gave me exactly what i asked for! Definitely recommend this salon
Had a pleasant experience with Mae.
I went In and got a haircut by Holly. I have thin hair but it was pretty long. I got a huge chop and Holly did great!!! She gave me exactly what I wanted. I showed her pics and explained what I wanted and she couldn’t have done any better. I got layers and face framing pieces. I will be back!
I love this place I have only been once the experience was amazing 🤩
Mae is AMAEZING! She is thoughtful and ants to do her and please. A satisfied customer.
