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
I had a great experience.
My experience at Salon Aston was definitely 5 star. Abbey took her time and gave me the cut I asked for. I love my hair again and I am sharing my experience with all my friends.
Amazing work, atmosphere, and positive energy throughout. Aubrie is AMAZING and I’m so happy with how my hair came out
I was greeted and offered a beverage, at first I declined but saw other customers enjoying one and asked for one too. I explained what I wanted and the trouble I have had with hair loss and Hayley listened and cut it the perfect length and styled it just right. Thank you so much!
Abby cut my hair and it looks and feels beautiful! She really listened to everything I asked of her!
Amazing staff and great welcoming atmosphere. This was my first time going and will definitely be back. Abby was terrific! She helped me select a new style, cut off dead hair, and was a great conversationalist. Everyone was very respectful of my service animal and allowed him to work and do his job. Going to the…
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.
I got my haircut always on time. Great haircut and hair wash. Very courteous and looks great when I leave.
Welcoming environment with friendly staff, had a fast and good looking haircut 👍
I had a great experience at Salon Afton! I had long wavy/curly hair that was a bit dry on the ends. Aubrie got it to a healthier length so I can keep growing it out, and she had lots of great tips for taking care of my hair type.
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
I highly recommend Salon Afton! They have a very welcoming and warm atmosphere where you know they'll get the job done. Aubrey always gets my husband's and my own hair exactly how we are wanting it! They also have a wide range of hours and are sometimes open Saturdays, perfect for those with inflexible work schedules!
The entire experience was worth so much more. Great cut and fantasticly real people.
I love Holly she was super friendly and she made sure I was happy with my hair.
Love this salon!! Super comfortable environment, friendly and professional, and GREAT cut/style!!! Love it...
Great salon with awesome staff. I’m greeted as I walk in, offered a drink and Brittany is ready to get started. She’s understands my fine hair and I walk out with a nice cut and style. I highly recommend!
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!
Always fantastic service from the time you walk in the door to the time you leave. First time Mandy cut my hair but I have a new favorite going forward. I have extreme cowlicks on both sides of my crown but they were not even a bump in the road for her. Very evident she knew what she was doing.
Best haircut I have had in years. Quick efficient and delivered what I asked of her. What else can you really ask for. Also pricing is reasonable. Nice customer service.
Had a simple haircut. It was done perfectly.
This was my first visit to Afton Salon. I like the atmosphere and found staff to be friendly. My stylist, Selina, had to correct, or attempt to correct, a mess made at a different salon. She listened and repeated what she thought I wanted and then set out to give it to me. I found her to be friendly and…
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
Great service, kindest staff! Love this place!!
Aubrie did an amazing job!!!! Thank you for getting me on the schedule quickly!
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 😃
Abby is wonderful! She does a fantastic job! Highly recommend!!!
Brittany always does an excellent job! She did a custom highlight this time & blends lovely with my hair! Thank you!
Love love love my hair and SALON AFTON! Always a great experience and i always feel so beautiful when I leave!
My first time there, loved the vibe. Abbey was amazing, she got what I wanted in a haircut. Did exactly what I asked. I'm definitely a repeat client!
Great service. The owner and her beauty associates were so professional and willing to help with styling tips after an awesome haircut. What a fun time.
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.
Mandy was very sweet ...everyone was so nice. I think she did a great job on my hair also. Thank you
Great haircut. Pleasant staff.
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…
It was my first time there and it was overall an ok experience. I can’t say I’d be back. I felt like it was a little rushed and it wasn’t the “salon” experience I was hoping for. Starting with the hair wash- it was a very basic wash without any scalp massage. I asked for a blunt cut with a face frame and curtain…
