Looooveeee my haircut, Yensy was great. She knew exactly what I wanted!
Shades is by far nothing but outstanding! Kari is just the best. She listens intently to my vision for my hair and goes above and beyond to accommodate my requests. I am ALWAYS in love with my hair when I step out of her chair. I HIGHLY recommend!!
Shades Salon is by far the most amazing salon in all of Cabarrus county. Kari has been doing my hair for over 15 years and I would NOT trust anyone else with my hair. Tori gave me the best blowout! The staff is always so nice and professional and sweet! If you are looking for that “feel like a woman” experience, Shades Salon is a must!!!
I've been going to Genesis for every 2 weeks for a couple months now for my blowouts, and she never disappoints! She's super convenient, so sweet and always makes the experience enjoyable. My hair always comes out looking amazing and I get so many compliments on it. She truly gives the BEST blowouts. Highly recommend her.
I come in for a haircut and blowout and I’m always so amazed by how much care Genesis puts into my hair , she’s so sweet and very professional! I love her work
Brianna did an awesome job on my hair. She pays attention to detail, gives honest recommendations, and makes the whole experience comfortable. My hair looks healthier, cleaner, and way easier to style now. I’ll definitely be coming back.
I’ve been seeing Kari at shades for about 5 years now. She is so welcoming and professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Her assistants have been thoroughly trained and while at your appointments you can observe how they are continuously learning new techniques and tricks from Kari daily. She takes time to ensure…
I got the best hair cut ever done by Joselyn! She listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me an amazing blowout after. Absolutely will be back!!
Obsessed is an understatement 😍 I’m sooo in love with my new hair!! Huge thank you to @shadessalon and @briannahairco for making me feel so confident again ✨She always makes me feel so special, red carpet ready🩷
Brianna was awesome. My hair was a complete mess and she transformed it into state of the art hair style wit her color and cut. So excited and I will be returning customer.
Ashley King - was and has been one of the best stylist that I have ever had! She puts in the work for her clients. She is personable, fun to talk to, easy going, honest, and will make you feel shiny and new when she is done. I have her booked for bridal and MOH hair and makeup. She took me from faded reddish color…
Shades Salon was incredible! The staff and owner are super friendly, and welcoming. From start to finish the experience was fantastic. Brianna did my hair, and took the time to listen to what I wanted, while offering me her input. She is very skilled, and educated me about my hair and what products to use. My hair…
I recently had the pleasure of getting a balayage color and a blowout from Brianna, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I feel absolutely beautiful and spectacular. Brianna has truly gone beyond my expectations as my new stylist. The balayage color is stunning and perfectly blended, giving my hair a natural…
I got a wash, cut, and blow out from Jewel’s a while ago. She did amazing and listened to what I wanted. My hair also grew fast, If you know you know! I can’t wait to book again with her sometime soon. Amazing service!
I had the best experience with Genesis! Super welcoming. Held great conversation and was so easy to talk to. Definitely recommend her, she's the sweetest! Loved my hair 😊
Genesis has been amazing both times I've gone to her. I've never been one to get frequent haircuts bc I don't get any special haircut that makes it worthwhile, but her blowouts are always worth it. Will definitely be getting regular cuts and blowouts by her. Service is 10/10.
I had a spectacular haircut. The best experience I’ve ever had. You have to go and get your hair done with Amanda. She is really nice and she also speaks Spanish that’s a big plus
I’m naturally a very dark brunette and wanted to go a lot lighter without straight bleaching my whole head and killing my hair. Kari did an amazing job! She listened to what I wanted and my concerns and told me what to expect. I’m so much brighter and I still have the option to go lighter if I want to in the future…
Shades Salon is the best!!! I always leave with the perfect hair color. Autumn is an amazing colorist!
