Bri is amazing. I went too light initially and she was able to bring my inspo pic to life (pic on the far right). Love her and her talent!
Kari is awesome! My experience here is always amazing. Love how my hair looks . I’ve been consistently coming here for years.

Love Shades Salon! Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable. Both Yessy and Brianna are amazing! I had the pleasure of both of them doing my hair. I moved to NC from FL a few years ago and could never find a place where I left LOVING my hair, that’s all changed since going to Shades. Highly recommend these ladies.
Very cute salon with such knowledgeable and professional and kind staff. I went in to get a correction from another salon and I will make this my primary salon from here on out. Worth every penny!
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!!
I really recommend Genesis, I’ve been going to her for a while now. She always does a great job, makes me feel really good about myself, and she works really well.

From finding the salon, to my consultation, and getting in for the service, my expectations were highly exceeded! Brianna really took the time to listen and understand what I was going for and worked with me to get there. I could NOT be happier 💜 thank you so much!
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.
Always a great experience for a color and/or cut with Jessica Phillips! I followed her from another salon because she listens to what I am desiring and does a fantastic job.
