Just used Abby she's awesome

greg hudson

My experience at the north hills location was excellent. Prompt, professional, and friendly with great service and outcome. I'm not surprised by the high-marks they received in the indy.

Laura Odenwelder

I love Jay, a senior stylist at North Hills, and have been seeing her for about two years. I even had her do my hair and make-up for my wedding. She always does a great job with my root touch-up and gives me good advice about what products to use in my hair to help it look better. Not to mention she keeps my hairstyle current and complimentary to my face. I would highly recommend her. She also gives great scalp massages while washing your hair! :o)

Courtney DeConto

No. Just no. I made an appointment here after a client recommended it. I have a small stripe of blond in my hair, and wanted a cut, and root touch up for this 1" wide area. I told them on the phone that I wanted a cut, and had a very small stripe that I needed root touch up on. My stylist was Genevieve, one of the master stylists. We talked about what I wanted for color, and she went ahead and used approximately 4 foils on this area. As far as my cut, she basically touched my hair and said "just a trim?", and that was that. No questions about how I wear my hair, or what I felt like it needed. At the end of the whole process, I was charged $80 for the haircut (as expected, listed on the menu of services), and $90 for the 1" root touch up with toner applied. I have had this strip of blond for 2 years, and had it touched up at various places, never paying more then $30 each time (including toner). Unfortunately, not only was the price shocking, she did a poor job in keeping where the original blond was, pulling new chunks into what she did, making it look more like a blond splotch then a strip of hair. I called after leaving and asked to speak to a manager. Was given the run around. "No, there's no manager here now", I asked if there was a time I could call back to speak to a manager and the girl on the phone asked if she might be able to help me. When I explained what had happened, and that I was kind of shocked no one had taken the time to tell me that I would be paying the same price for a small section of hair as I would be for my entire head, she tried to explain that it was because I saw a Master Stylist. I called back today and again was given the run around when asking for a manager. After I further questioned when a manager would be available, I was told that there was no manager at the North Hills location. Not only was I shocked at how much I was charged without someone just explaining how the salon charges, how poor of a dye job I received (and hair cut, but the way, but I wouldn't have complained about it, would just have dealt with bad hair for the next few weeks), but I was most appalled by how terribly my complaint was handled, and that they have refused to remedy the situation. I would never recommend this salon to anyone.

I went to Von Kekel for the first time less than a month ago. I went specifically for tape in extensions as a friend said they heard good things. After 5 hours in the salon - I will admit MJ did a fantastic color job - I left exhausted from the day. During this install of tape ins, we ran out and I had to go spend more money on hair even after I had a full consultation and ordered the amount my stylist informed me to. I had tape ins for 3 years about 4 years ago, but my stylist was in Angier and I wanted to find someone local. Within 2 days, the tape started falling out left and right. I couldn’t hide them, they were slipping and looked awful. I called the salon immediately and did not receive a call back. I tried again the next day and they set me up with a follow up right before thanksgiving. The stylist took out several tapes ins that were extremely too high on my head and hard to conceal and tried to fix several other pieces that were hanging on. I went out of town for work for a week and was so embarrassed by my extensions showing the entire work trip. When I returned home, I called the salon and spoke to Rebecca. She said the manager would be in the next day and would call me around noon. Another day goes by with no call, so I again called the salon. Later that day, manager Paul finally called me back. We spoke and I told him my concerns and that I had to go to someone else (that after my 3rd attempt, my stylist recommended....fishy) to get the terrible tape in job re- done. It cost me triple the cost from the beginning with MJ as I had to pay for removal and re- installation of DIFFERENT HAIR. He informed me that Von Kekel gives no refunds under any circumstances and they try to rectify the situation. There was no way this salon could rectify or give me confidence after I went twice with no rectification. BEWARE no refunds ever... and this salon just wants your money and lies during consultation.

I just moved to the Raleigh area and heard many great things about Von Kekel. I have now gone to Genevieve 2 times and have had a wonderful experience. She listens to what I want while also giving me her own suggestions as to how to get what I want while making sure to take off enough that my hair stays healthy. The entire staff incredibly friendly & I always leave feeling relaxed - I highly recommend Von Kekel!

Janice Lee

I have been getting my haircuts from Genevieve for 8 years now! When I first moved to Raleigh I was worried that I wouldn't find someone who could cut asian hair well. Luckily I met Genevieve! I am always happy with my haircut every time. I love how I don't even have to tell her what I want b/c she knows what works best for me at that time. And I completely trust her judgement. She is really talented, an artist, and always does a great job. She has also given me some good beauty tips over the years too. Overall, I really enjoy my me time at Von Kekel and with Genevieve!

I recently visited Von Kekel in North Hills for a haircut with Courtney. She is full of energy and has a great personality. She did a great job both cutting my hair and blowing it out straight. Not everyone has talent when it comes to styling hair, but Courtney does. She is also very accomodating. I would recommend her.

Pam Hughes

I needed a new hairdresser so decided on Von Kekel because I love all Aveda products so why not choose an Aveda salon. I was randomly placed with Dee Crabtree. I could not be more thrilled! I have very very thick and wavy/curly hair...very few people know what to do with it. Dee listened to my needs and struggles with my hair and took to it with the precision of a surgeon. Seriously, I have never had a haircut in which the stylist took so much time and care...it is obvious that she is passionate about her work and is an artist at it! She is a junior stylist, which surprised me since her skill level is so high! I have had master stylists in other salons charge me twice as much and the results were not nearly as good. I am so happy that I found Dee! If you have very thick or unruly, bulky hair, Dee is the person in Raleigh that you need to see!!! Thank you Dee!!!!

Andrea Miller

Cristen always cuts, dyes and styles my hair. I did a dramatic cut recently and she took the time to show me how to style the short cut curly and straight. She is awesome and always gives the best advice. I would not want anyone else to do my hair. Thanks hun!!

Tula Summerford

I am a client of Katy G and love her! She is quite talented and gives fabulous haircuts.

This was my first time to the salon as I just moved to the area. Ana did my hair and was absolutely amazing! I also had a massage and Blair was exceptional! I will definitely be back.

Alexandra Hinton

I visited Von Kekel a few months ago. I went in b/c my hair is growing in darker and I had highlighted my hair some and decided that my super long hair should not be highlighted anymore and I was going to embrace my natural color. I had grown my hair out about 4 inches (8 months of growth) and had plenty of root color to work with. I had about 50 pictures of ombre, which i wanted to use as a way to transition away from my blonde and roots look into an "on purpose" transition of color. I explained that i just wanted a few well placed highlights. i went over in great detail what I wanted, referencing pictures showing dislikes with examples and likes with examples. i said my hair did not need color all over as it was really healthy and too fine for color. 400 dollars later and a few hours, i had RED roots and bleach blonde hair. it looked terrible. i looked like a freak. i said i wanted to look professional and i looked like a stripper. my boss the next day told me that my hair was NOT ok. the worst part is, that my beautiful hair, my favorite feature and something ive worked so hard to acquire, was FRIED. SO FRIED. a good 20 inches of perfectly good beautiful hair is trashed. i had to go back to get something done about it so we dyed my whole head again... this time brown. and cut off.. about 5 inches. i tipped 50 more dollars. they gave me a free dye job. and a moisturizing treatment. well it faded out pretty quickly and that's ok. but what i cant get over is the damage. it is a constant battle everyday. i think about this experience EVERYDAY. my hair tangles all the time. i can't style it b/c its so damaged. i'm afraid to dry it so i have to take showers at night so i dont leave my house with a wet head in the cold. this is a problem that ill have to deal with for a few YEARS. i spend so much money on expensive conditioners and oil. what happened is NOT ok. and the worst part is, i spent over 450 dollars on this nightmare.

Kathleen Barry

Recently moved to Raleigh and searched for a great Aveda salon, happyto share that my experience here with the team has been a great one. My first vist was good but the color (blonde) wasn't exactly how I prefer it. I called & spoke w a Manager, they redid it and it was perfect. My stylist has been Dee and she has been wonderful. She is kind, patient and listens regarding my requests. She gets 5 stars for my cut alone, best I've had in years, my hair was bouncy and just felt and looked good.

Kelly Holsopple

Love this place

linda sparrow

I was immediately impressed with this Salon and the calming and lovely appearance of it as I entered. I was greeted with a smile by the receptionist and within minutes I met my stylist. She listened carefully as I explained what I wanted in my haircut. She then gave me a wonderful and very relaxing shampoo and scalp massage. Ana described the steps for my cut and style. She was very professional and I felt confident that I was in good hands. I was so pleased with the results and look forward to returning in the near future.

I called to make an appointment for my daughters Military Ball. After speaking with 3 individuals including the stylist that we would be seeing, my daughter is African American and has tightly coiled hair. The stylist(MJ) walked up to her with the look of fear on her face began gripping my daughters curls and said she didn’t have time to do her hair that she had to leave in 45 min for her daughters recital. I was directed to the manager and was told that I never explained to them the service I wanted. I explained not only did I explain to 1 person I spoke to 3 different people explaining what we wanted when I made the appointment. I was then turned away and told good luck they didn’t have time to take her appointment. I had to explain to my daughter 4 hrs before her Military Ball what just happened and why she didn’t have an appointment anymore. Paul and staff were incredibly rude and dismissive. Simply admit you can’t cater to Africa American clientele and don’t break a teen girls heart 4 hours before her event. Shame on you. Side note: I was 9 min late and you better believe that point was brought up constantly.

Jenna Padilla

Absolutely wonderful experience. Been seeing Brittney for a couple of years now and have never been disappointed with my color or cut. She is excellent!!!

Sarah E

Genevieve was my stylist and she did an AMAZING job. She really listens to what you want and makes it happen. And on top of that she has an awesome personality. Definitely the best stylist I've ever had.

Susie Ligman

Marshall Evans

Great selection of services

Channing Carter

I always visit Carlyn for my brow and lash needs. She does a wonderful job! I have been going to her for around two years now. My typical service is a brow wax, brow tint and lashes tint. Love these services in covering my blonde brows and lashes.

Lisa Ganzzermiller

Awesome!

Lorrie Andersen

My first time there and got a great haircut by Marshall. He had good suggestions on what could be done with my hair. Adding a glass of wine, a shoulder and neck massage fit the bill!

Annie Peek

I am VERY particular about my hair. Having long blonde hair at 53 is daring in itself but Genevieve not only makes it appear that I was born with it, she makes it look as though my hair is the picture of health! It is huge comfort to know that I can go into the salon and be totally taken care of, she is like going to a hair doctor!! She looks at my hair and analyzes what is needed at this stage of my life, to keep it as it looked 10 years ago. Although she keeps a copy of my Aveda formulas, that I have kept with me for the last 10 years, she tweaks things to compensate for such things as grey hair (how did that get there?!?) that I didn't have 10 years ago! Just because I am getting older and determined to embrace it at every stage, there is no reason I can't feel beautiful at the same time. Genevieve definitely is a huge part of that. I was hesitant to tell the complete truth about her because when you find someone as good as she is, you want to keep her for yourself but I still need to sleep at night so there you go, she is the BEST!! So as long as you book your appointments during the day while I am at work, were good!! :-)

Priyanka Mohanty

My experience at the north hills location was too good.I got prenatal massage done from Bonita.She was really good and made me comfortable. I would highly recommend this place and i love the Aveda products they use.

Jane Brady

Dee is the best stylist! I met her just before Christmas - she did my hair and make-up trial prior to my daughter's wedding. My hair was great and my makeup was "show stopper" on wedding day. I am so happy I found Dee! She is great. If you are looking for a great stylist, call Von Kekel and book with Dee!

Katie Jones

I just had such a wonderful experience with Stephanie! First hot stone massage, and I'm hooked! If anything it wasn't long enough, so instead of the 50 minute massage I'll be getting the 90 minute massage :) I will definitely be recommending Von Kekel to my friends, and family!

Susan

Jannine is great.

New to Raleigh and was looking for a stylist. I was shopping in North Hill near Von Kekel Salon. Stopped in, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I scheduled an appointment with Genevieve. Genevieve did an awesome job with my cut and color. I look forward to my next visit. I did purchase Aveda shampoo and conditioner, love it!!!

Stephanie May

Andrew Bowman

I had a mens haircut with Margo and she did a really good job. Usually people cut too much off but she only took a minimal amount off and I was really pleased.

Nancy Faltinowski

Recently returned to Raleigh, I asked for recommendations for a hair stylist; and Genevieve at Von Kekel was the answer. I was pleased to be able to get an appointment quickly and was VERY pleased with the haircut. I have short, fine hair (with cowlicks); and I need a professional and current look for work. The cut Genevieve delivered is perfect; and it provides options for changing up the look. I'm pleased with my experience and glad to be able to provide a recommendation.

Caroline Walker

My favorite salon and spa in Raleigh. My stylist is a miracle worker! They are always so friendly and warm when you come in and are flexible with scheduling. Best Aveda Lifestyle salon in Raleigh.

betsy anderson

Randy is the best !!! Great color cut and blowouts….. People ask me everyday who does my hair and I happily give them Randy's name. Girls at the desk always helpful and sweet.

Patsy Young

Very sad to share my poor review of an Aveda salon after 24 years of going to an Aveda Salon and always having an amazing experience. Allie, who was new to the salon, turned my blonde highlights grey and had no idea how to fix it. Siyah, my normal stylist, came to her rescue and saved my hair, but it is very bright and needs to be toned down because she had to bleach it twice. Siyah advised I wait 2 weeks after all the bleach she used. The receptionist, in a bumbling attempt to tell the owner/manager what happened, made the experience even more awkward for everyone. The owner asked what I wanted? What a strange question after such a traumatic experience? I received the service for free after 45 minutes of all the wrong questions being asked and my friend being my advocate. He offered for me to come in “Tuesday” to get it fixed but I live an 1.5 hrs away and I am moving overseas in less than a week. I came in expecting the exceptional Aveda promise of amazing hair. Instead I was so upset I cried and was extremely lucky a stylist was present to fix it. Then I had to endure the most awkward haircut of my life from the stylist who turned my hair grey and additionally the owner/manager asking me what I wanted! Allie needs to go back to the Aveda Institute and get re-trained in coloring so this never happens to anyone else. It was terrifying!

Eve Zuber

Great place. Randy does an awesome job on my hair (cut and color) and Carlyn does an awesome eye brow wax. Very friendly place. And I've always loved Aveda products. I wouldn't trust any other brand of color on my hair. Relaxing tasteful interior. Prices are a tad bit high, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended salon.

Azra Ljaljic

I scheduled an appointment as I love Aveda products and this was my first time at this location. Highlights and root retouch. End result was: green/gray highlights and since stylist used toner it turned rest of my hair also green. I was there for 4 hrs and they charged me $205. They asked me to come in next morning to fix, but I had an early flight scheduled, so they didn’t even think to stay longer and fix the problem immediately. Really disappointing.

I have had my hair cut by Naphavady for years, and have had a flawless experience every time. I have a double crown, so haircuts are honestly a bit anxiety inducing for me as a bad haircut ends up making hair in the middle of my head stick up straight, almost like Alfalfa from Our Gang. Naphavady has never failed to give me a perfect haircut, and I regularly get compliments after a trim. Furthermore, she has a great personality. She is very friendly, comedic, and insightful, and also has a wonderful sense of knowing when I'd like conversation versus when I'd like a more quiet and peaceful styling experience. I cannot recommend her more highly, and the Aveda staff as a whole is always highly professional, accommodating, and polite. I would trust no one else with my hair, and will continue to come back here as long as I'm in Raleigh. Thank you, Dee!

Andrew molina

Went into purchase a clay paste for my hair I had my eyes set on. As I’m checking out MJ asked me why that specific product. I mentioned that I wanted volume and texture in my hair. She asked if I had a few minutes to have a consult. She showed the product I should be using and WOW what a difference!! My hair has looked healthier and more volumes and texture. Will definitely be back for a haircut with MJ when needed!!

nona de

Not very happy today. I changed stylists since mine had left and showed her a picture. Long Bob with waves... I left with straight hair and an explanation that I only scheduled a "cut". If I had know there would have been just a blow dry I would have went home and done it myself. The front staff was not very helpful and didn't even suggest anything to make me happy. I will not ever go back there. Very not happy. I came straight home and used a barrel iron like the front girl said I should use on it . The cut ended up not being that good even after I added the waves and it was much shorter than the picture I showed the stylist. I would call back for a refund but I'm so ticked off I don't even want to deal with the salon again. So I just jumped in the shower and trying an air dry with some product and then I' ll try the iron again. I'm not even sure what happened since I have been going there for a few years and I've always been happy before.

jake wenger

We love Genevieve. We have been going to her for years!

Genesis Harris

Took my 2.5 year old here for his first haircut. I can not remember his stylist name but I am sooo thankful she was the one to do his first haircut. I showed pictures of what I was wanting and she recommended keeping the sides a bit longer since he still has fine baby hair, if it was cut shorter he would look more bald. Our son wouldn’t stop tapping his feet, would move his head when distracted and threw a fit when he got hair in his mouth and she was amazing through it all! She got a towel so we could get the hair from his hands, face and mouth before continuing the cut. She also kept telling him how great he was doing during the entire time. I was so nervous about his first haircut because his hair was shoulder length coming in, and it was his first cut but I love the cut, my little loves the cut and I could not be more thankful for an amazing stylist!!

Lindsey Clark

Amy Duffy

I have been going to Von Kekel in North Hills for 7 yrs and absolutely love it! Katey G. is my stylist and I have never left the salon dissatisfied. I would highly recommend both Katey G. and Von Kekel in North Hills!!

Cynthia Eyer

I love the Aveda products and they are so healthy for my hair and our environment. I enjoyed the relaxing time during my color, cut, and style. Luther wasn't chatty like most hair designers, so I was able to relax and not feel like I needed to entertain my hair designer. He is confident and knows when to confer with other designers to obtain the best results of his coloring choices for me. The only thing I didn't care for is that my color did not get set and therefore did not get all washed out at the salon. I was getting color residue for the next four days. Other than that, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new color and am receiving a lot of compliments.

Another great cut & style by Ashlee Renee-Calderwood! She relocated from Carmen! Carmen! a mid-level Aveda chain to fancier diggs in North Hills. Still Aveda, it is upscale, nice and with Wine for relaxation while getting your cut & style. Ashlee gives a very precise cut for Men who wish a short to mid-length style. She is OCD enough--her words--to not miss the details; no stray hairs and nice texture if you get a 'shears' cut instead of 'clippers'. She can do all lengths, but I usually keep short and easy to maintain. I have had her as a stylist since 2010, when I moved from Long Island, NY. There are other other good stylist, but none have the attention to detail and produce a refined cut as Ashlee does. Thanks Ashlee!

Meghan Ries

I have been going to Ashleigh for about four years now. She is amazing! I have had highlights, all over color, and many haircuts and I have never been unhappy. She really listens to what you want and does a fantastic job delivering the results. She is a precise, skilled, and knowledgeable stylist.

Rodolfo DeMartino

For the 12 years that I have been going to Von Kekel I have had nothing but great experiences each and every time. Now I am a true Aveda person and strong believer in what this salon group has to offer. All of my referrals have become permanent customers.

Joy King

Keratin straightening treatment is wonderful if it's done right but can cause a lot of damage if it's not done by an experienced professional. That's why Janine at Von Kekel Aveda at North Hills is the right choice for this treatment. She was careful and precise in using the right mix of Keratin and the right temperature to make sure that I got the greatest benefit from my Keratin treatment. My hair is smooth, straight, soft and shiny ... all because of Janine!

Mary Ellen Wetzler-Behar

I have been going to Von Kekel Salon for years. Genevieve is the VERY BEST stylist and does miracles with my hair. People consistently ask me who and where I get my hair done. I've learned long ago that it's the haircut that makes the difference so finding the right salon and stylist makes a world of difference. I look forward to my appointments with Genevieve - it's the best experience in a very relaxing environment.

Kathie Rainey

I enjoy this Von Kekel location, it's convenient and the staff is professional and helpful. Areatha Bright has done my pedicure for years and I followed her to this salon. She does a very professional job and I am always happy to share her name with others.

Angelene Cruse

Emily Winslow

I love coming to this salon. Jay is great with my hair, she listens, and is open to feedback. The scalp massage is also amazing! Highly recommend this salon and Jay for cut or color.

Sarah Goodman

Love Von Kekel! The owner, Shawn, has been doing my hair since I moved to the Raleigh area in the late 90s. The staff and atmosphere are always pleasant and Aveda products are awesome!

Catherine George

Genevieve is great!

Israel Ehrisman

Alyssa Martin

I’ve been seeing MJ for almost a year and this is the best experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to several salons and even attempted to color my hair myself (box color). Needless to say my hair was very damaged but MJ saved me. My hair has never looked this good or been this healthy in my life. Great atmosphere at the salon, always feel very relaxed and I know I am in good hands! Highly recommend!!!!!

Emily Cullen

Carlyn is the best esthetician!! I highly recommend her to anyone!

Raven Duffer

I would absolutely recommend this salon to anyone! The service is very friendly and the salon is very clean. Not mention, more than accommodating. I had a hair cut at another salon and unfortunately ended up walking out with a butchered hair cut due to the stylist slipping with her scissors and taking off almost 2-3 inches too much. I had that stylist just even the hair cut up as much as possible and decided to seek a different stylist. Of course I was hysterical once I left and actually got a good look at my hair. I'd never had a bad hair cut. I called Von Kekel and explained my situation and was able to get an appointment that day to be seen. Heather was my stylist and she was phenomenal! Seriously, she took such great care of me and was very understanding of what I was looking for in a hair style as she tried to fix the hair cut. I left actually loving my shorter hair rather than hating it. Give these guys a shot, they won't let you down. Thanks again, Heather! You are so awesome!

Jen Ault

Ashlie is fabulous! I've known her for years and she pays great attention to detail when cutting and doing color. She is a wonderful stylist and by far the best i've ever found. I use to not like getting my hair cut and colored because of bad experiences in the past but Ashlie will make sure you know what she is doing and what to expect. I always leave feeling beautiful.

Quani Kim

Caroline Naglic

When moving to a new city, picking a new hair stylist is always a little traumatic. Dee is wonderful. She has always done a terrific job with my husband and myself. The salon atmosphere is really nice as well and the staff is always friendly.

Drusila Tiburcio

Cindy Yandle

This week I visited Von Kekel for the first time, and it was a great experience! For excellent customer service and THE perfect color & hairstyle, I highly recommend Christa! She's calm and friendly, and she does an amazing job coloring and styling my fine, naturally wavy hair.

Hayley Bernard

Janine is the best! I always leave feeling confident with a hairstyle that works perfectly for me. I have very straight, thin hair and it is soooo hard to find a stylist who can cut it right. Never leaving :)

Chelsea Bucher

Nici Dunaway

Overpriced and they don't treat you well. Went twice and won't go back

Barbara Knott

Carrie Rogers

I have been impressed with Von Kekel. It is easy to schedule and all staff I have encountered is polite, friendly and helpful. Carlin is amazing and so kind. I love getting my lashes tinted and on my splurges have had a great manicure and pedicure from the other staff there.

Julie Habbouche

I have been seeing MJ for hair (color and cuts) since the beginning of 2019. I was new to the area and tried another salon first. Unfortunately, I had a very bad color service at the other salon, and I came to MJ seeking help before a family wedding. MJ was extremely dedicated to getting my hair back to a presentable state and stayed well beyond closing to take care of me. I have been seeing her ever since! I have never received as many compliments on my hair as I do now. I appreciate her honest feedback and guidance on hair color/style and I love that she is willing to share her vision for my hair as well. I recently started seeing Carlyn for brow shaping, brow tints and facials. She is fantastic! Highly recommend!!

Linda K

First and last time there. They are expensive and Abby the stylist spent very little time and attention to my haircut. She got the color tone wrong and declined to cut my husband’s hair. I am not happy with the results or the service. She was more concerned about showing personality rather than focusing on my hair cut and getting it done right. Guess what, I wanted a color service and a haircut. People do not go to hair salons based on personality. How can this be allowed at an Aveda salon. Planning on going to another place to get it fixed. Don’t use Abby. She needs to be retrained with her colors.

patti doherty

First week with new haircut from M.J. and loving it. Had a few compliments too. It's great being able to say to your stylist 'I'm ready for a little change' and she nails it! Thanks M.J. Love Von Kekkel salon overall. Products and customer service are all great. Recommend to all

Meredith L Seagraves

Good haircut and color service service but very very pricey.

Holly Gilroy

I've been seeing Genevieve since 2005 when she worked at another salon and then followed her to Von Kekel in 2007. She is the BEST! In the 8 years I have been seeing her she has only gotten better. She is constantly improving her technique and skills. I have gone through many different hairstyles and lengths with her and have loved them all. She knows how to take the cut I want and make it work for me. She has a pleasant, witty, energetic personality that makes the experience that much better. Add that to Von Kekel's clean, modern, welcoming atmosphere and Aveda's top notch products and you've got the whole package. If you're new to VK, I highly recommend Genevieve!

natalie yakopec

Had a wonderful experience! Excellent customer service and staff!

Lydia Barroso Anderson

My first time there I was partnered up with a new stylist, Heather. She is amazing. I'm mixed (Black/Hispanic) with a rather interesting hair texture... several, actually. Heather didn't miss a beat! She took her time to figure analyze and within an hour and a half I was in and out with a great cut and only 2 products used! I was impressed and she is now my permanent stylist. Very happy. Worth the price!

Karren Lee

I received a massage today at the North Hills location and it was incredible. Blair is awesome. I highly recommend her if you want to experience a massage to relieve tension and destress. It was very relaxing.

Sarah Clark

The pampering starts as you walk through the door. The salon is elegant and clean; the colors are warm and inviting; and you are offered a refreshing drink during your visit. The wait is minimal if at all. The staff is friendly and sincere. The receptionist even took a picture of me with my stylist (I wanted to post my new hairstyle)! My hairstylist, Shawn, has been cutting my hair for several years. He's fun and has a style and flair for making me (and several of my friends) feel beautiful before leaving the salon. He always makes sure I am happy with the cut before leaving his chair. I get many compliments after a haircut. I highly recommend Von Kekel Salon.

Nikki Angelos

Jay was wonderful! She did a fantastic job on my cut and color!! The best hair cut I have ever had! She was fun and great to talk to too!! I cannot wait to go back! The Salon was amazing! You could tell that everyone really loved it there! A few weeks after my cut ad color I got a massage from Jenn! She was wonderful! I told her about my problem spots and she did a fantastic job! I highly recommend Jenn!!

I absolutely had the best experience at Von Kekel in North Hills with Genevieve. I was switching from Redkin based color to Aveda because Redkin was drying out and breaking my hair. After consulting with Genevieve, she studied my hair, FULLY understood what I wanted/needed, then gave me the best cut and color! She is definitely a hair dresser I can trust. LOVE HER and LOVED my experience at the salon. Already booked my second appointment!

Dina Cardoso

I really enjoy coming to this salon. I like that they greet you with a drink if you'd like and the environment is great. My haircut looks great and they listen to what I want and address any concerns I may have. Love this place!

Shanlyn Addison

I have been coming to the North Hills salon for over four years now. A co-worker recommended MJ and I am so happy she did. My haircut was a mess and MJ fixed it. When it came time to start coloring I was very hesitant. I put myself in MJ's capable hands and haven't looked back since.! She knows exactly what looks good on me. I get compliments all the time on the cut and color. I highly recommend this salon and especially MJ

Justine Kelly

I had a wonderful facial with Ana. She did a great job and my skin felt refreshed and glowing afterwards. The arm and foot massages were lovely too.

Neha Desai

I absolutely loved my experience. I had made a last minute appt. before my trip to Boston for a color and cut. My hair stylist Dee was amazing. She listened to me and gave me the highlights I wanted and even styled my hair! I got compliments on my color and style for a week! She was incredible and made me fall in love with my hair all over again!

Allison Bateman

In my opinion this is the best hair salon in the triangle. I worked in a salon myself for many years and I truly love the service and products at Von Kekel more than any other. My stylist is Stephen and he is WONDERFUL! I swear he reads my mind every time I come in for a cut and color and we're always on the exact same page on what will be done to my hair. The staff here are exceptional and are very up front with pricing as well as what to expect after your appointment. If your service is going to take multiple trips to the salon, they will tell you before touching your hair, and will make sure you are comfortable with everything being done along with the pricing. This is something else that I really appreciate: if you have an idea of what you want done, but have a specific price range in mind, the stylists are always willing to listen and make recommendations on what would be a good fit for your style as well as what they can do to work within your budget (to a certain extent obviously - you won't get a balayage or anything like that for some crazy low price haha). Aveda products are on a different level when it comes to hair maintenance. I've used their products for years and will never use anything else. This is one case in which you definitely get what you pay for. I can't recommend them enough, from styling, to shampoo, and to the color. The color is all natural derived from plants and NEVER stings my scalp (I have extremely sensitive skin). Finally, the prices here are very reasonable from my experiences - I realize "affordable" means something different for everyone, I am just expressing my personal thoughts on the experiences I've had at this salon vs others in the area. Here is a scenario I'm sure many of you have probably lived: your services are done, you get to the counter and they tell you the price (you're a little surprised) and you pay. When you get home, you look at your hair more and more, your color fades after a few washes and you very much regret the amount you spent getting your hair done. I can honestly say I have never left Von Kekel sick to my stomach over how much I've spent on my hair in the way I have at other salons. Everyone's hair is different, but I have personally had better experiences with Aveda color not fading - however I use their hair care products as well which are mostly all color conserving (yay Color Conserve shampoo!!). I can't recommend Von Kekel enough, especially since it took me so long to find a reputable salon in the triangle that I absolutely adore. Instead of dreading spending a lot to get my hair done, I look forward to my appointments as well as catching up with Stephen. Give them a try and I guarantee you won't want to go anywhere else!

Wanda Queen

My husband and I have been going to Von Kekel for about 15 years or so. I have always appreciated the cleanliness of the salons and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Shawn has gotten to know my hair and what is best. I am happy that we have found a great salon but new friends in Shawn and Paul.

Joanna Perry

I recently booked a message with Blair and had a wonderful experience. I came in with a lot of back pain and she was able to greatly ease my discomfort, thank you Blair!

Michael Stevenson

Sean and staff are very professional, friendly and talented. I have been a highly satisfied client for years and plan to remain one for many years to come.

Greg Sims

I've been a customer for a while and wouldn't dream of going elsewhere. This salon knows how to treat customers with respect and the utmost care. I've had haircuts, pedicures, manicures, facials, and massages - and this place is 5 star! I am fortunate to travel the U.S. and abroad and get to experience many different salons and spas. This one delivers. Thank you Von Kekel - Raleigh and Cary and lucky to have you!

Suzette Vearnon

I had the pleasure of having my nails done for the first time at Von Kekel Aveda. I had never been before but the nail technician, Areatha, came highly recommended by the LaFayette Village location. Not only was I greeted with a smile and found the environment welcoming, Areatha was such an approachable and knowledgeable professional. The only thing thing I hated was that my nails were not completely dry when I left though I was told that the drying method would ensure that they would be. As a result, when I got to my car, I noticed that the golden tips of my beautifully done French nails got smudged. Had that not happened, I would have given an excellent rating. This does not deter me from going back. I'll must remember to dry my nails a tad bit longer next time [smile].

DO NOT GO TO MARGO FOR MANICURES!!!!! 0 stars for her manicure. This review is only in regards to Manicures done by Margo. This review would be a 5 if it was solely for Carlyn. I used to go to TM Nail Spa off of Ed Drive in Raleigh. My manicurist Leslie was the best and she always had the best Shellac colors. She moved away and I had been in search of a good alternative. I had an appointment with Aretha (She had given me a polish change before and I heard her mani's were awesome). When I arrived I was told that Aretha was out but that I would be with Margo. This was the worst manicure I have ever had. She started by telling me that she was not a "nail person." She said that she focused on wedding hair and makeup. She was not lying.. it was very obvious and she should not have been doing nails. She did not shape my nails well at all. It looked like a 10 year painted my shellac on. I even had to tell her to go back and clean my cuticle and edges of my nails off where the polish ran over. She didn't cut my cuticle which I was fine with but she didn't clean up the severely dry spots and hang nails either. Also they only had a few shellac colors. I was extremely disappointed. I paid almost $50 for a very poor manicure and 1 day later the polish is lifting on my thumb!!!!! Note: I have been going to this Aveda for almost 5 years. I have the best Brazilian waxes and facials with Carlyn. I have even had my makeup done there before. All of which have been positive except for this. Carlyn is awesome and she is so good at what she does. She is 5 stars all the way!!!!As much as I wanted to try Aretha, Margo just gave me a very bad experience with manicures at Aveda and I won't be going back to them for manicures.

I love this salon! I've been going here for a few years. Ana does a great job with my highlights and haircut.

Tina Wiggins

This has been literally the worst experience of my entire life with a salon. I went into the Cary location first and they destroyed my hair. I asked for strawberry blonde hair, showed her some pictures and she said no problem. First it turned blonde but instead of telling me the "senior stylist" put a ton of red toner in it. So it was a dark maroon stripy mess, when I complained she just put more chemicals in telling me she was just "washing the conditioner out", another woman started helping her and after four hours I was left with strawberry blonde roots with pink and white hair that is breaking and coming out in clumps. It was so bad I actually cried. Then they tell me that some people really want pink hair but to come in to the North hills location to meet with a "master stylist" to fix my hair and again I show them a picture of strawberry blonde hair and again I'm told it won't be a problem. Another couple of hours and I have a terrible mess of dark auburn roots with ashy brown spots throughout. When I told her that's not what I asked for she said yes it was the same as the picture. I said no it wasn't then she said well this is all I could do because "your dark roots were coming in" (just a week after they had bleached them?) and was told to curl my hair to hide the splotchy color. Again they never told me it would be a problem they just said it would be ok and she'd be able to give me a strawberry blonde color. I finally just had her cut off most of my hair and I'll have to deal with this mess until I find a salon that actually knows how to color hair. Edit in reply to the response: I never said I loved it. I said it felt better than it had because your "senior stylist and manager" had overly processed my hair and that was admitted to me by both the director and the master stylist. The color I showed both stylists was the same and it was strawberry blonde and I'd be happy to show it to you. My hair was not in a bad condition when I came in the first time and I never had "boxed dye" in my hair. Both your director and master stylist told me my hair "was not in that bad condition and was typical of being overprocessed which is what she did to your hair". So now you've lied and this is the third time your salon has tried to blame me for your screw ups. After chopping off the vast majority of my hair, it is still ash brown throughout most of it (when it was pink and blonde thanks to your first attempt) and dark auburn at the roots.

For excellent customer service and THE perfect color & hairstyle, I highly recommend Luther!! I always receive great service and hair cut!!

I decided to get my hair cut here because it was one of the only salons open on a Sunday and they had good reviews. I had hair down my back and Ashlie cut my hair into a bob and she did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend this salon.

Amy Protonentis

I have loved both Katie G and Ashlie! They are phenomenal with color, cut and style. Seriously. I feel like a million bucks walking out of there!

Jo-Ann Ryan

I have been here just twice. Once for a hair cut and then for a hair color. Both times I saw Sia and she is amazing. When I go back, she will definitely be my hairstylist. Next step is highlights!!

Jessie Reed

Brittany Stokes

I went to the salon yesterday and had the stylist Chelsea do my hair and she was amazing! I have very curly and naturally dark hair and she did a fantastic job. I was scared of breakage from the highlights but she took such good care of my hair that it feels Just as good as it did before I went in! The highlights look so natural but also very blond! Just what I wanted. And when she was cutting my hair she took into concideration that I have such curly hair so she did not cut to much length off that was not needed unlike some other her stylist whom don’t understand the derastic difference of length in wet curly hair vs dry curly hair. I would recommend her to anyone! I will definitely be going back to her! :)

mamie potter

I've been going to Von Kekel Salon for many years. My current stylist, MJ, is so intuitive about the best styles and treatments for my hair type. I've had a customer at the bookstore where I work ask me to tell her who does my hair! I love Aveda products too!

Robin Harris

Best haircut ever,by Stephen beautifull salon, . See you soon

Maricia Parks

I visited the salon on Sun, May 24th for my first appointment with Christa. I found her to be very professional and knowledgeable about ethnic hair. I have finally found someone who can provide total care for a healthy and beautiful afro style. The environment is friendly and all employees are accommodating. I will be a loyal client forever. Mia

Cindy Strauser

I had a great experience with Karla at the North Hills location on Wednesday, 5/9/18. She did a great job with my color touch up!

Caroline B

Great salon! I’ve been a client of MJ and Carlyn for years. They provide excellent service and the end result is always exactly as expected. I have never been disappointed and always get compliments! Highly recommend!

Bettina Jourden

Just saw MJ and she is a miracle worker! Super knowledgeable about all types of hair and my hair looks amazing now. I am definitely coming back to see her.

Jessica Wackes

I have been coming to this salon for 3 years, and I plan on coming for at least 3 more. ;) Mimi Siriphan is the best hair stylist I’ve ever had. Not only has she listened to every picky detail I’ve ever asked her for, but she has built on my ideas with knowledgeable expertise and excelled in execution. Always such a pleasure to be around, Mimi has helped me define my personal style through my hair, and I can’t thank her enough. I’m always so surprised to know she isn’t a Senior stylist yet by the level she’s at with her work, and I am truly so lucky to have found her. Keep up all the great work, Mimi! You are a defining team member at this salon, a true professional, and a great friend. Cheers!

elizabeth ashley

I've been having my haircut at Von Kekel Aveda in NH for a year and have loved it! From the moment I walk in, the staff has been helpful and friendly. Each hair stylist has listened well and cut my hair exactly how I've asked. Definitely recommend!

Irene Rasmussen

I have had two manicures/pedicures from Areatha. She is experienced, a true professional, and took special care with a toenail that tends to grow inward. I was pleased with both services; however, the price is pretty steep...$96 for a manicure and pedicure plus the $20 tip.

Went for a facial and had Elena. She was very professional and listened to what I wanted and needed, can't wait to come back again!

Lyla Wildsworth

Aveda at North Hills is fantastic! Mimi did so well with my hair. I will surely be back!

jason broughton

Last minute cancellations seem to be common for this location. Haircuts are not really worth the price. Would not recommend.

Julie Hendricks

Jordon did a corrective color, trimmed my hair, and styled it appropriately! He did a FANTASTIC job!

Nancy Romeo

I have been going to Vonkekel Northhills for 2 years now after moving to NC. I absolutely adore Dee who colors & cuts my hair. I recently needed an updo for a wedding and Dee told me Ashley does amazing updo's. I was not disappointed! It was beautiful! Highly recommend her. Love this place.

TriYoga NC

Have been a client of Von Kekel at North Hills for over seven years. Their staff is always friendly and welcoming. Katey is an incredible stylist. Highly recommend for cuts and color.

Eileen Hancox

It was my first visit. I had a gift certificate so I went for the top hair stylist. I told her I didn't want to look like every other older lady. She examined my hair, made a few suggestions, and we agreed on something 'outrageous' for me. I love it! Have gotten several compliments and I feel like a new person. Will definitely go back.

Lily Rogers

I love Dee! My mom, sister, and I all go to her and she always does an excellent job. She is very careful and takes her time to do an excellent job. She also knows what awesome new products to recommend

I have been going to Von Kekel Salon for well over 10 years and always have a fantastic and professional experience. I love how Shawn makes my hair fabulous everytime. Everyone in the salon is tremendous - always making you feel special and taking care of whatever you may need. This isn't just the best salon in town, it really is the ONLY salon in town as far as I'm concerned!

Janet Goodoff

Since moving to the Triangle 18 mos ago I've had difficulty finding a hairdresser who could cut my hair the way my old hairdresser back home had always done it. It is difficult to cut/style due to it being very fine and no one seemed to be able to get it right. Then a friend referred me to "Dee". I saw her last month, explained how I wanted my hair cut, and she "nailed it" on the first try. My hair looks and feels great. She did a terrific job and I'm so glad to have found such a good hairdresser!

Elaine Roston

Areatha gives the best manicure and pedicure that I have ever had. She is very caring. The atmosphere is very relaxing.

Sheila Carter

Love my new highlights and am pleased that the stylist always listens to me and and is very helpful when I'm uncertain about a style or cut. Very knowledgable and great customer service.

Ashley Talley

I just moved to Raleigh and was looking to make a major change with my hair. Genevieve was very knowledgeable and did a proper consultation with me before beginning. She did a great job shaping and styling my hair!

Andrew Snow

Ashleigh is great! I’ve had my hair cut here for the past nine months and highly recommend it. The staff is friendly and always on time for my appointment.

David Sonntag

Great cut!
