I came to this salon having read many reviews. I had been having trouble with my past color, using one from my previous salon that is VERY VERY popular and well known. The older...

Unlike one of the other emailers, I recently moved to Charlotte from Durham. Brenda has been doing my hair and a great job of it for several years. Once I was setteled into Charlotte, I decided on the spur of the moment to have my hair highlighted here in Charlotte! BIG MISTAKE!!! I immediately called Brenda, and she assured me that she would take care of it the next week. The moral of this story is, I still drive to Durham to have Brenda do anything necessary for my hair, color, or cut! I would(and have)highly recommend Brenda to do anyone;s hair! The entire staff at Take 5 is wonderful. They are always so friendly and want to get to you know you personally as well! Thanks again Brenda. You are the greatest Pros: good parking, great prices, great staff more

comfortable and upbeat 2/25/2005

There is nothing pretenious about Studio 5. It is a well kept secret. If you want great service, a staff very open to listening to you and what you want in regards to your hair and beauty needs, you will not be disappointed in Studio 5. Everyone is friendly, relaxed and makes you feel good about your choices; I always leave there feeling better than when I went in. Simply a great salon staffed, run and owned by nice friendly people, not hiding behind gimmicks or decor. A great service for a very fair price, you cann't beat it! Pros: prompt, professional, friendly more

User review by thedelikelly 2/24/2005

I moved to Durham late last year from Charlotte and as all of you out there can agree with me once you have a hair dresser that you love it's hard to change! I found out about Studio K from my neighbor who highly recommended this salon, my hair was a mess because I had waited so long, MY stylist Gloria took her time in listening to what I wanted color wise but with my hair being so out of control I wasen't sure of the style I wanted, she came up with a style I would have never had picked for myself and I LOVE IT!!!! If you just moved here and are looking for a great place to go or you want a change go to Studio K you won't regret it!!! more

Great Combination 2/22/2005

Being a guy who grew up using just a regular old barbershop, one of my most difficult challenges was to find a salon where I felt comfortable and could also just get a consistently good haircut. This place offers the perfect combination of true professionalism, fun and genuine friendliness. Brenda has taken care of me for over five years now (the rest of the staff are spectaular as well) and I would never consider going anywhere else. more

Spectacular 2/21/2005

This salon has excellent hair designers. All of them are well trained and have a great team concept. Not only did I get a great haircut, but their knowledge about color is a PLUS. As a team, they are kept up to date on the latest in cuts and coloring. You never get a "routine" or boring cut. Pros: Professional, Great style cuts, Great coloring more

What a great find! 2/21/2005

Being from out of town and in need of help with the hair! It was great to find a salon with such quality and friendliness. The staff was very skillfully trained and able to give me the new/freshened look I was in the mood for. They helped me prepare for the business meeting I was in town for and make a good impression with my new look! THANK YOU! Pros: Welcoming Staff, Quality of work, Variety of Product more

Absolutely the best! 2/21/2005

I recently got my hair colored and cut at the Studio K Salon. It was one of the BEST experiences I ever had. My stylist talked with me for 15 minutes asking what I thought might work for me then she made HER suggestions. I agreed to "go for it" and have have been so thrilled with the results. The people that I work with could hardly believe what they saw and wanted to know WHO did my hair. I've never had my hair cut with a razor before and you can tell that the stylist really KNEW what she was doing. The atmosphere there was so fun and upbeat too! more

StudioKSalon Saved my image! 2/20/2005

After years of baking my hair with a straight iron, I decided to try permanent hair straightening; I found a local salon that performed the Japanese Straight Perm, which sounded like the best option. Although this process did a decent job of straightening my hair it was frying it just as much as the straight iron. A friend told me about her Salon, StudioKSalon, which performs a new reconditioning straight perm. I met with Karen and made my appointment for the Grund Straight Effects. After an exciting day with Karen, my hair was straight and baby Soft, I couldnt believe my hair could feel this young again, we finished the day with a few highlights and a cute razor cut. Karen also helped me realize what colors and styles look amazing on me. In conclusion, one day at StudioKSalon honestly gave my whole look a boost!! Thanks StudioK! Pros: Friendly, Extremely Helpful, Professional Cons: n/a, n/a, n/a more

My Favorite Stylist 2/17/2005

Everytime I visit Raleigh I make it a point to schedule an appointment with Karen Stevenson to create a new and updated look for me. She is the only stylist that has ever been able to know exactly how my type of hair needs to be cut and designed and I always leave thrilled with the results. Karen's knowledge and technique of haircoloring has always been an added bonus to my hair style. Pros: Dedicated Owner, educated stylists, clean & Friendly more

Don't go in the evening! 2/15/2005

New to the triangle, I tried this salon out due to its high rating I had to go in the evening, however, and my stylist was too busy chatting and planning a birthday party with another staff member. The color she gave me didn't even cover my roots as we had planned, so I left looking like I needed another haircut right away. I've heard the specialty stuff they do - like straightening - is really good, but for just a cut and color, go somwhere else. more

Highly Recommended 8/24/2004

I frequently have people stop and ask me where I get my hair done. I've started carrying around Take 5 Hair Company business cards to make it easier to tell them that Karen does my hair--and has done so for nearly 10 years. I wouldn't think of letting anyone else cut or color my hair! She knows how to select the most flattering looks for her clients. I'm never afraid to try something new because I know I'll walk out of her place looking like a knock-out. more

Straight Effects 4/14/2004

I went to Take 5 w/my hubby to get his hair cut. While there I talked with Karen about how sad I have been with my hair. Curly, frizzy, over-processed...I just wanted to cry. Karen told me about hair straightening (by Grund). They told me it would be soft, silky and straight (AND MANAGEABLE!!! IMAGINE THAT!) I took a leap of faith with Brenda who is the best hair dresser ever to touch my hair, had it straightened, and I'm thrilled with the results. So thrilled that I had mine done on 4/9, and brought my daughter (12 years old) on 4/14 to have the same process done. I have bounce, shine, softness, and FANTASTIC high/low lights and a great cut to boot! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I will (forever) keep the straight hair. Thanks to Brenda and Karen. You've made me feel pretty again! Pros: ease of appointment, EXPERIENCED, knowledgeable more

Take 5 Hair & Co. 2/24/2004

About 3 weeks ago Karen at Take 5 Performed the Grund "Straight Effects" on my hair, Similar services that didn't even seem very effective are performed where I live in new york for over $800. Karen's prices were great, my hair is straight like i have always dreamed, and it is even softer, and healthier than it felt before! I'm looking forward to going back to get my roots re-done in a few more months. Pros: Friendly Atmosphere, Good Price, Clean more
