POPPY SALON REVIEWS

Everything was amazing I felt so comfortable and my stylist was incredible. This is my first time getting a professional hairstyle in many years and I could not be happier. Taniya was a breath of fresh air and I will definitely be coming back to her for all my hair style needs!!!!! I feel prettier than I have in a long time!.

Taniya did such an amazing job with my coloring and hair cut! She was so communicative and fun to talk to as well. I can’t recommend her enough! The staff at the Durham location is very friendly and open as well. Well worth the price point! The pictures are fresh from the salon but I love the look now even more a week later.

Isa does an amazing job. She makes me feel comfortable and listens to how exactly I want my hair. My hair cuts and my fashion colors always comes out beautiful. I can’t wait to come back again for my touch ups! Thank you so much!.

POSH THE SALON REVIEWS

Located in West Village in downtown Durham, this is a fabulous place. I had a great recommendation for Elika so I booked with her. When I entered the salon I was greeted and checked in. They offer several beverages while you wait. Elika and I talked about my curls as well as the humidity and other factors that affect curly hair here in NC. She also educated me on the products she uses and why. It wasn't just her just trying to upsale the products the salon carries. I was very pleased with the outcome and highly recommended Posh.

I had such a positive experience at Posh! My bangs were getting too long and driving me crazy so I impulsively went in to get them trimmed. My stylist, Aiden, was wonderful and worked with me to trim them exactly how I wanted. I am so happy with the result and the bang trim was only SEVEN DOLLARS. I can’t recommend this place more!!.

Brittani and Crystal did my hair and makeup for my son’s wedding and they were fabulous! I showed them pictures of what look I wanted for my hair and makeup and they effortlessly matched it! They both are so sweet and I felt like I’ve known them for years. Highly recommend Brittani and Crystal!.

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS SALON REVIEWS

Suzanne is exceptional. I’ve seen her for maybe a year and I have never had so many people compliment my hair. She is not necessarily a “curl expert “ but she does really well with my curly hair wavy hair and the tell is how good the cut grows out. I used to wear ponytails starting halfway between cuts but with Suzanne I can wear it down all the time and it has excellent shape. She listens to me but also explains what her thought process is and will stop me if I’m asking for contradictory things. She is definitely a gem and I’m so glad I found her.

It’s been ages since I last got my hair cut. My curls are notoriously temperamental and always shrink up when they’re cut. Destiny was incredibly supportive and accommodating, taking the time to understand my preferences and ensuring that my curls would curl up perfectly. She patiently answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I’m so glad I found this salon and will definitely be returning!.

fantastic experience at RPS! as a queer nonbinary person, i was so relieved to get my hair cut by Mal, who gave me a really stellar mullet. the chair was wide & comfy, and i felt really taken care of. also, it’s super cute in there!.
