Sonjia is highly recommended when it comes to a hair cut and hair coloring, We are very happy customers.
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!
Salina was great! I had a great experience! She was very professional and friendly.
Always 10/10
Sonja is great
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 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 &…
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
Always a great experience.
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 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!
Salon Afton is simply the best. Selena was amazing! I’m thrilled with the highlights and the cut. Professional and talented. Thank you.
Excellent haircut
Awesome experience. Sonya was amazing. Did a great blowout. !
Sonia did a great job for my daughters prom hair. It was our first time and she was very professional and kind. Shop was super cute.
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
Aubrie does great cuts. Nancy at the front is friendly and very efficient.
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.
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.
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 on my daughter’s hair for Prom!
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!
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.
Great service. The stylist, Sonjia, helped me select a beautiful, easy to manage style based on what I was looking for. I really appreciate the guidance! I loved the results! Will definitely come back and recommend!
Got my hair cut and styled by Ashley and she did a wonderful job! Wonderfully priced as well, I will definitely be coming back!
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 great for a quick haircut and style!
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.
Great experience! I had a wonderful hair cut and style. Rhianna was very patient with me as I talked about what I wanted.
I had a very good experience. I love the way Holly cut and styled my hair!
Loved the fact that Sonja actually listened to what I wanted and spoke to me regarding the style and how to style it different ways. She made recommendations on products for my slightly curly hair that would bring out the curl, I have never had a stylist that actually gave me a style that worked with my curls,…
It was great. Love it!
I finished my Dr appt and received wonderful news. My appointment with you was my celebration. Thank you
Salina Ramos is so professional. Creates a relaxing visit. Excellent cut n foil. Thanks
I love this place I have only been once the experience was amazing 🤩
Mae was So Incredible!! She is VERY Knowledgeable in Hair Loss and in almost any cut or style you desire!! Found my permanent Hairstylist!!
This was my 2nd time at Salon Afton. Scheduling online is easy and the prices are competitive for the area. My standard haircut came with a wash and relaxing scalp massage, which almost put me to sleep. My stylist, Rhianna, was very fun, easy going, and speedy (had me done within the hour). I'll definitely go back!
Holly is my girl, she always does an amazing job. I love the color cant wait to do more.
Always a great experience!!!
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.
Abby Fields always does a superb job cutting my hair and the Shear Image Salon is both a convenient and pretty location. I highly recommend Abby’s services and this day spa for your beauty needs.
Prompt service, pleasant and courteous staff.
1st time at this salon, Mandy was great and listen what i wanted. She is awesome 😊
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.
Sonjia was very friendly and I loved the cut and style she chose for me! Strongly recommend and planning to return!
Absolutely amazing salon, everyone was so friendly, Abby cut my hair and did a phenomenal job. I will be going back for sure, 10/10
My daughter & I recently had our 1st time visit. Sonjia was just lovely, really took the time to listen and provide options for the new look I was looking for. Aubrie was so sweet with my child. Wonderful experience & plan to return. Thank you Salon Afton!
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 hair was done by Sonjia I went from over 12 inches of hair to a pixie cut and she did amazing! Everybody was so friendly please come and get your haircut it was only 60 they washed it and styled it after the cut book them!❤️
I got right in,no waiting. Abby was very professional , listend to what I wanted. And did exactly that . I was very pleased with what she did and the atmosphere of the Salon was very welcoming for me. 💯 pleased
Mandy is terrific. She listens, gets what I want, and gives beautiful hair cuts. She's an excellent stylist. The Salon is lovely, the staff welcoming, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. And, the icing on the cake is Sadie, the very best Greeter a Salon could ever ask for. ❤️ Highly Recommend!!
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!
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.
Love salon and Abby
