I recently moved to the triangle area from Philadelphia, where I had a WONDERFUL stylist. I am a multi-tonal blonde, and my hair color can be very tricky. I wanted to find a great salon in the triangle area, which I figured shouldn't be too difficult because of all the growth in this area recently, but so far I have been incredibly wrong. My attempt with Studio K was my second attempt, and it was a disaster. When I called for an appointment, I specifically asked who was great with blondes and coloring, and they said "all of our stylists are very good" and so I mistakedly trusted her and made an appointment with a "Master Stylist". I did get an appointment rather quickly, which should have clued me in that this stylist was not very popular. I was at the salon for 5 (YES 5) hours because the first time she colored my hair it was disgusting. She had to ask every single stylist in the salon what she should do throughout the entire process. For a "master stylist", she was totally clueless. Now this is not to say the rest of the staff are not good - they all seemed to know what they were talking about when they had to explain to her what to do, over and over again. I also think that the owner is probably very good, because she has gotten many positive reviews. After the stylist "fixed" my hair, she totally overcharged me, which I thought I would have gotten a discount for her messing up, but I guess that is definitely not the case. Won't be coming back anytime soon....Can someone PLEASE tell me where the heck I can find a great COLORIST AND STYLIST in this area????!!!!!!
Pros: friendly staff
Cons: poor coloring knowledge
