REVIEWS OF 8 the Salon IN North Carolina

Jordan B

I am from out of town and usually very weary of getting my hair done anywhere. But my mother needed a hair cut so upon recommendation we found ourselves as walk-ins in this salon. From the moment we walked in I was impressed, the service, the overall ambiance of the salon motivated me to get my hair cut and colored (my hair definitely needed a refresh). I was matched with Ari, and upon first meeting her I felt completely comfortable and trusted her. My hair was in desperate need of a color and cut and she created the exact look I had in my head. Personable and professional, if I didn't live in Florida I would 100% become her newest regular client. Great salon, and even better people.

Joe Tessier

Just love the people here, they preform in a very professional way, give great ideas, and so please with my new hairstyle, definitely going back.

The stylists at this salon were great; however, I was sorely disappointed in the level of customer service I experienced with the salon staff. I called to schedule an appointment and was told they would be able to get me in with my stylist same day, which was great, but that I would also have to pay a $150 fee for being a no-show at my last appointment scheduled in July. I explained that their records were not correct and I had responded to the confirmation text that are sent the day before appointments, which asks you to confirm the appointment for the following day. Their confirmation texts give the option to either respond YES to confirm or NO to cancel. I responded with NO to cancel the appointment since I wouldn't be able to make it the following day. I explained this to both the receptionist and manager and even sent them a screen shot of the text message I received and my response showing the dates and times and that I was under the impression I cancelled the appointment through the appropriate channel communication from the salon, but unfortunately I was told that was insufficient. They said they never received the text response and I was still considered a "no show". They also told me they had it listed I was also a "no show" back in January too, where again I explained that back in January I did cancel an appointment via text that apparently the salon never received, but I had also rescheduled for a few weeks later and when I came for my re-scheduled appointment, I showed the staff the texts on my phone where I attempted to cancel, to which they apologized and told me it was no problem. I also explained that I had been a long time client of my stylist, and have been coming to her regularly every ~6 weeks for nearly 2 years and referred a number of new clients to her while she's been at Salon 8. Again, none of this seemed to matter and insisted the $150 fee must be paid before I can schedule another appointment. I've never just not shown up for an appointment before and not only have too much respect for my stylist's time to ever do something like that, but I honestly would probably not trust her to do my hair again if I did ever do that to her. It is both insulting and frustrating to be labeled as "no-show" even after showing proof their records were not correct, but also very upsetting that I will now have to find a new salon and stylist I trust, which is difficult to do. I will not be back to Salon 8 after this and nor can I, in good conscience, refer anyone new there going forward. I hope they understand that by trying to enforce what was proved to be an illegitimate $150 fee, not only will they not collect that, but they will be missing out on the revenue they could have today, had I been able to schedule the appointment with my stylist who had an opening due to a cancellation, but they've lost my future business as well, along with referral business I've helped drive there in the past. Further, they should not send texts to their clients giving them the option to cancel via text if those texts do not work. I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to and labeling your customers as "no shows" is again, insulting especially after proof has been shown that it was due to the salon's faulty communication system. This is not only poor customer service, but bad business practice as well. I would follow my stylist should she ever leave Salon 8, but I will not be back to that salon after this.

Bad Birdi

Never had a bad experience here. My last cut here was super extreme! I went from pretty long hair to a bob with bangs! And, I couldn't be happier! My stylist was amazing. He worked with the shape of my face and created something natural and beautiful. Thank you Steven Ward!!! You are wonderful!

Michelle Smith

Excellent salon. Amber recently did my color and I absolutely love it. I’m so happy I found her and cannot imagine going to anyone else. She’s the Best!!!

Scott Flemming

Men! If you want the perfect cut, one that works perfect for you, Ashley Morgan is the best in town. Great with men’s cuts, providing me with an amazing look, every time I visit. 8 the Salon has a great feel to it, coffee, music, and the very best service.

Lexa Rice

kasey my stylist was amazing as well as jessie and katie who made the finished product look beautiful!!!

Kelsey Duncan

If I could rate this 10 stars I would. 8 years ago I attended an event at this salon & quickly fell in love with the entire staff. I have very thick, naturally curly hair that I wear straight. Prior to coming to 8 my hair had an undercut...the bottom section of my was a buzz cut because my former salon admittedly told me that they were overwhelmed by my hair & didn’t know what to do with it. A week after my initial visit I received a handwritten card in the mail from a stylist I had spoken with the night of the event and it simply said that she couldn’t wait to get her hands on my fabulous hair. I was just as sold then as I am today. Over the years I have been to several stylists due to changing work schedules & the fact that I work in a school and live in SC. Every visit...no matter who has cut, highlighted or blown out my hair is always consistently on point. This speaks volumes to the caliber of stylists at 8. Continuous on-going education with top professionals in the hair field only makes this salon achieve even higher standards. Excellence is the absolute standard at 8. I have always been treated as a valued customer by every staff member at 8 and especially by Rodger & Amy. Rodger even sent out his own handwritten card last year to just say a simple thanks. I am grateful that over the years they have become more than just stylists to me and consider so many at 8 like second family. I could not possibly recommend them more highly.

Just last week, I went to Salon 8 for the first time. I have never had SO many compliments on my hair! Yvette was my stylist and she was absolutely wonderful. My highlights are beautiful, and the cut is perfect. She was so accommodating and even advised me to part my hair differently because of my face shape. It's a really elevated experience at 8, and I am definitely a new loyal customer!

Salon 8 is hands down the best salon that I have ever been to in the ten years that I have been highlighting my hair. Every single member of their staff, especially their manager Michelle, goes above and beyond to make you feel instantly welcomed. It is such a fun and positive environment. Megan, my stylist, is a hair GENIUS. She is the sweetest, most personable and professional individual. She is outstanding and a highly valued asset to this salon. She completely transformed my look and made me the best I have truly ever looked. I will be recommending this salon to everyone.

I started going to the salon

Read this carefully as I'll explain why I think this salon doesn't deserve to be in business and/or the manager should immediately be fired. I called yesterday (waited on hold for seven minutes) to schedule an appointment for today. I just moved to Charlotte and am particular about who cuts my hair and specifically scheduled with someone that was stated to be excellent at mens cuts. I just drove 20 minutes from downtown (I hate saying uptown) to go to the salon. I showed up and said, "What's the guys name that I'll be with? I can't remember." The front desk woman then proceeded to say, "You're not actually going to be with him. You'll be with Jane Doe." I then asked why I'm not going to be with the person that I booked with. "He was overbooked and the manager changed you to another person." At this point I'm just pissed off. Stick with me hear and think through this. 1. When I called yesterday -- late in the day -- if he was double booked why would they have allowed me to book? 2. If he wasn't double booked when I called yesterday, why would they have double booked on top of my appointment. A 10 am appointment at that. 3. If the double booking happened, why would the manager not have called me and given me a heads up and allowed me to reschedule? Seriously, think about this for just a minute. It's the most pathetic level of customer service you can think of. (Note: I'm not the first person this has happened too based on other reviews.) The other thing that's clear, based on this managers actions, is that this place is a factory. They apparently don't plan on clients being repeat customers. If they did, they wouldn't treat their stylists like they don't matter and can be swapped out with ease. If you're a potential new customer, you should seriously beware. You might have an appointment with the best person in the world, but when you show up you might be baited and switched with someone that just got their license to cut or who knows what. To the salon, you should be ashamed at this type of behavior. You bill yourself as a high end salon, but the level of service you deliver is pathetic and completely amateur.

As part of her engagement proposal scavenger hunt, my daughter's fiance sent her to have her hair done at 8 the salon. The gal did a great job and Laura was very pleased with her hair.

Bruce Bullock

My haircut and overall experience was great, so 5 stars. That being said it was $100, for a men's haircut. $100. I just moved here from Scottsdale and the most I paid there was $50, which I thought was too much, for a men's cut.. I'm not cheap, I'm just realistic with proper expectation.

Carl Zimmerman

Best hair cut I have ever gotten!

Garrett Moles

As someone that has never been back to the same hair stylist more then once, I am happy to say Amber at 8 the Salon has exceeded my expectations. I will continue to come back...great music, great location, great people!

Robert Goldschmidt

When I went there for the first time I got my hair cut from Amber. She did an amazing JOB and gave me the best fade ever. I was well pleased and believe me I will be going back to her to get a hair cut hella soon. She is boss at cutting hair and having a friendly conversation while she does it. She is the best at what she does :)

Greg Dampier

Paying more for ambience and location, not quality (I have no interest in a DJ being there). The stylist I had was very chatty to the point of not listening to anything I specifically explained to her, and it resulted in a Supercuts hair cut for $50. Saving grace is a very nice staff.

Chad Hunter

Wanted to get a nice cut for my moms' funeral, so I decided to check this place out. Atmosphere was cool, staff was great, and the cut was good, but they hit me for $70 for a cut......a MEN'S HAIRCUT! UNBELIEVABLE! I will definitely not be going back!

Thomas Pope

Ivis is the best! Ask for her for sure. She’s always listening to how I like my hair cut and goes the extra mile. The girls who answer the phone are hit or miss though. Last time I called she was super sweet and nice but most times they are gruff and short with me.

Sarah Barnard

Good people. Not snoody. I really appreciated being equal. Great hair people!

Leila Shapiro

Had a Great Hair Day! Awesome Salon !! Everyone made you feel welcome as soon as you walked in!! I just read the other Review too - and my Stylist today was Megan too!! I looked like a Calico Cat walking in with so many different colors & highlights in my hair...and she transformed me too!! Got Highlights and Lowlights and went bit darker - and loved the way the Color turned out!! I still like being a Blonde ,,,,lol....But now my hair looks more natural. Love you Megan!!

Melissa Chen

The worst salon !

laura s

Amazing blowout

janet jones

Jesse is awesome! Great color and blowout!

Michael Reynolds

Fantastic atmosphere. Everyone is extremely polite, professional, and very friendly. Salon 8 caters to a wide range of clientele, ranging from teenagers, women, and men. I’m relieved I’ve finally found someone who truly knows their craft and cuts my hair to perfection every time.

Claire Johnson

I love faith!!! She’s literally the best and so good at conversation and my hair makes me feel like a beautiful and brand new person!!! Booking an appt again with her soon!

Beth Lloyd

The staff at Salon 8 is FANTASTIC! They are extremely professional and treat each guest with care. The salon offers a variety of professionals that specialize in different styles (which is hard to find). They are always honest and book you with the best stylist for your needs. The atmosphere is fun, upbeat and welcoming. The owners are also awesome! Thank you so much for your great service!

Erin Gutknecht

I absolutely love this place. I’m new to Charlotte so really wanted to find a great new hair dresser!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Patience. Not only is she a doll but she did exactly what I wanted. I went into work right after my appointment and I’ve never gotten more compliments on my hair. I have ridiculous hair to manage. It’s super thick and crazy! However, she managed to angle it and make it so pretty. Can’t wait to go back. I strongly recommend her!

Jamie Orzech

My hairstylist moved to this salon and I of course followed her there. I am so happy I did. I love coming into the salon. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is very inviting and a nice break from the everyday hair salon. I travel an hour to get here. I highly recommend 8 the Salon.

Heather Davidoff

Had an apt with Ken after way way way to long I just told him to do what he does best :) Got the best hair cut and in the morning the next day when faced with the fear that I wouldn't be able to style my hair like he did to my amazement my haircut was Soo good it just sort of fell right back into place :). Ken you are amazing thank you

Clean,well managed facility

Heather Dawn Stewart

I had such a wonderful experience at this salon! I was visiting Charlotte for the first time and about to head out for a night on the town with my love. The staff was friendly and helpful and they were able to fit me in to get my hair taken care of so beautifully. My stylist was Julie, who was patient and knowledgeable, answering my questions and helping me look and feel incredible before I left. Thank you so much and I’ll will be back:-)

Mark Cou

My hairstylists is Amber , just visited her weeks ago . She's experienced bold & creative One of the best haircuts I get at 8 ! She definitely can give you a great style Cut !!

Sarah Smilowitz

I have been coming to this salon for years. Last month I missed my appointment and called the salon the same day. I explained to the receptionist I over slept and would have to reschedule. I had a medical procedure the day before and could not get out of bed. Today I called to reschedule and was told I would be charged for the missed appointment because I missed an appointment in 2016 as well. I believe the 2016 appointment was due to a death in the family & I was in NJ. My issue is the circumstances do not seem to matter why the appointment was missed. The policy is the policy. I love the salon. My stylist Kasey is amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience, but the policy is going to be the reason I have to find another upscale salon in Charlotte. I hate this fact, but I believe there should be some circumstances that are exceptions to the policy...like death and surgery.

Holt Daniels

One of the best hair salons in Charlotte! Each hair dresser is very professional and when you walk in you know it's going to be a relaxing cut. The people at the front desk are always very kind and help you out with what you need. Every hair dresser is very talented and I would trust with cutting my hair.

Bethany Leger

Jacob is a fantastic stylist! He listened to my concerns, offered great suggestions, and the outcome was perfect! He basically had better bedside manner than most doctors. Very satisfied. LOVE MY HAIR!

Michelle Ho

Bad customer service

Great salon and good customer service. But absolutely appalling haircut. Avoid AMBER - she can’t cut men’s hair and ruined mine. Hair was long and short and overcyt on the sides.

Haley Grace

Exceptional service! The place is well maintained and all of the stylists are so friendly. The receptionist Sierra was phenomenal! I hardly get my hair done professionally so I was nervous at the start but I am so satisfied I’m going back regularly! Thanks 8!

Melissa York

Ari was AMAZING!!! I have been to quite a few salons here in Charlotte and so far Ari at 8 was the best!! She actually listened to what I was telling her I wanted and she took her time making sure it was perfect. IT WAS PERFECT!!! This was my favorite and best experience so far. My hair looked fantastic and I will definitely be going back to see her.

Made To Last Tattoo

I have been going to 8 the Salon to see Amber McCleland for a while now. Amber gives the best mens cut and fade in the city. I have been to multiple barber shops and do not get the quality of cut I receive from her. Not to mention her service and personality are reason enough to go see her.

Mallory Spigel

Great atmosphere and good environment! Love the natural light and the hairstylists are always friendly. Very professional :)

Nancy Halvorsen

Best salon in Charlotte from the minute you walk through the door. Always greeted with a warm smile, and amazing music that will lift your spirits. I am always asked where I get my hair colored and cut. Everyone is very professional and the stylist are up to date on all the new techniques and styles!

Lia G

Faith is Amazing! The salon is beautiful and all of the staff is so friendly!

Taylor Willis

Absolutely loved my cut by Jaclyn, she listened to my needs while giving me a look I felt beautiful in. The staff is always kind, when I walk in the door I am greeted and offered a latte. Everything from the DJ to the atmosphere of the salon makes the experience altogether wonderful!

Kelsey Leach

I recently visited as a hair model and I was so pleased with my whole experience! The place was amazing, the vibe was very welcoming, everyone was such a delight and my hair turned out fantastic! Will definitely be going back! Thank you guys! You're the bomb!

Sandra Gregory

My stylist, Michael, took the time to ask about how much time I spend styling my hair, looked at my coloring and from there he worked his art. I immediately trusted him and left the cut and color up to him. I left the salon quite impressed with the skill level of stylists this salon employs. I've already scheduled my next appointment.

LOVE Doriane & 8 the Salon! After getting balayage for years at Frederic Fekkai in NYC I was wary about finding the same exceptional service and experience in Charlotte. Thank goodness for Doriane and 8 the Salon! Doriane exceeds my expectations every time and makes my hair a gorgeous masterpiece! Love, love!

Lindsay Blaire

I had the best experience with everyone I came in contact with at Salon 8. In the past, I have had a few really bad experiences with hair and have developed a great deal of anxiety around the process of finding a new stylist and getting my hair cut and colored. I knew I needed someone calming and patient who would listen to me and not just rush me through. The staff recommended Michael to me and he was phenomenal from start to finish. He went above and beyond listening, asking the right questions, getting a feel for my hair and offering suggestions based on my coloring, face shape and general style. His advice was excellent and his cut and style were perfectly on point. He gave me pushback when I asked for things that wouldn't work for my hair type - exactly what I was looking for. He also gave me excellent tips for how to style my hair with the new cut. Truly full-service. It is obvious they aim to stand out in the industry, and they have accomplished it. I have been to very high end salons in Switzerland, Paris, London and New York. This is the best service I have ever received. Each one of the ladies working at the front were super kind and went out of their way to accommodate my schedule. I would expect a salon like 8 to have high caliber stylists that can accomplish whatever look one wants, but to be treated with such kindness and deference was exceptional in an industry that often seems to value snootiness (often with no substance). Michael is a wonderful person and a damn good stylist - this place is a gem in this industry - so grateful to have them here in Charlotte!

I went down a list of salons to call to find one that took walk ins and had time, this was the one and I'm not disappointed. The lady at the desk was sweet in helping me and gave me to Amber, the stylist. She was so stinking amazing. Chatty girl with a bubbly personality and the ability to make you feel really special and pretty. I just got my hair dyed ($60) and beforehand told her how I put red in my hair a long time ago and it just still won't fade out so in my jet black I wanted she did mix in some blue (which I don't mind at all) to help cut through some of the red when it fades. Then she even put a glaze over top the color to help it last longer! She did an amazing job and styled it like I've never been able to, she EXPPLLLAAIINNEEDD how she styled and now I can! Honestly if I didn't live out of state i would go back FOR SURE

Caitlin Schave

Jaclyn is THE BEST! So is Jacob!

Frances McKinnon

Amazing hair products! Great space, and the stylists are very skilled. I hear there is a DJ on the weekends.

Valerie Malick

The services and stylists are unmatched! Best salon in Charlotte

Chad Elvington

I love this place. Treat myself and wife often
