"I wanted a big change and she delivered. I let Ashley know I have trichotillomania (which can make getting haircuts scary) and she responded SO well. She asked if I had any areas of concern in particular and then chugged along as normal. Overall just a fantastic experience."
"Ashley did a great job with my haircut. The atmosphere was welcoming, they had Gameboy Colors to play while waiting. My haircut is apparently difficult for some other hairdressers, but not here. Great fade and buzz, nice layering. Thanks for the welcoming and enjoyable experience while giving me safety as a member of the LGBTQ+ community."
"Always a calm and relaxing visit with Ashley with a clean haircut and a relaxing shampoo. The only difficult part is getting out of the chair after the shampoo because it's so relaxing that I'm about to take a nap right at the shampoo bowl. Then I come out with a haircut that makes me look five years younger."
"I went short hair for the first time in my life, and thanks to Ashley who made sure it was the same as my picture and desired style, I was able to get the haircut of my dreams. She was very patient and kind, and offered adjustments at the end."
"I've been coming here to see Ashley for the last 2 years. I usually get blonde hi-lights, and she just understands the vision I'm going for every time. Prices are fair and the staff are super friendly."
"Ashley D. is wonderful. I moved here 2 years ago and had a hairapist in GA for 7 years. Ashley took over my hair therapy like she had been doing it for years. Not only did she cut and style my hair perfectly but the color, oh the colors I'm so thankful."
"I had a complicated request and it was executed beautifully. I feel such joy looking in the mirror again. They were very nice, skilled, and very patient. I'm a quiet person and I didn't feel awkward or pressured to talk more than I wanted."
"I didn't want to show my face but I had to show my hair. Loved the vibe as soon as I walked in. Loved my stylist. I normally don't tip because I'm a cheap person lol but she left me no choice, I had to tip her for the great job she did."
"Ashley DeMaria gave me a great hair cut and styling. I went in without much of an idea and I left so so happy with her work. Will be back for sure."
"Ashley was so awesome. Reasonably priced, it was exactly what I wanted. I'm so glad to find someone so skilled and friendly."
"Ashley was great. She asked a lot of important questions before she started, and gave me a fun cute cut for the summer."
I've been doing hair in Charlotte for years out of Salon 42 in Dilworth. Color is what I love — balayage, vivids, the grown-out highlights you've been trying to fix for two years.
The hair you walk out with should look better than the inspo pic. That's the entire job. If you've never been to me before, the first appointment is always a consult plus the work, so we can plan something realistic together.
Quick color is bad color. Block off the afternoon.
