Best Hair Salons in Cary, NC
Compare 13 hair salons in Cary, North Carolina with Google ratings, services and online booking. The top-rated spot is The Naked Truth Hair and Wax Spa - A Blue Aura Spa & Salon with 5.0 stars from 3 Google reviews.
Cary's hair-services scene runs small: 13 salons make up this directory, and the ones with reviews on file are rated 5.0 stars on average. Most — about 85% — take booking online, so you can typically schedule without picking up the phone. Below is the full list, plus a look at what the ratings and booking data actually tell you before you pick one.
What's in This Directory
Cary's directory lists 13 hair salons, covering the standard mix a full-service salon usually offers — cuts, color, and styling are the baseline most salons in any city handle, and that general expectation holds here too. What this listing doesn't do is break those 13 salons down by specialty; there's no tag telling you which ones handle balayage, extensions, or curly-hair cuts specifically.
That makes this page a starting point, not a filter. Skim the salon cards below, note which ones take online booking, and check each salon's own page or call ahead to confirm they do the specific service you're after. For anything specialized — extensions, color correction, texture work — a quick message before you book saves a wasted trip. Thirteen listed salons is a manageable set to scan in one sitting.
Booking and Ratings: What the Numbers Show
Eighty-five percent of the salons in this directory take booking online, which is the single most useful data point if you want to skip phone tag — look for the booking badge on each card before you plan around a walk-in.
On ratings: 54% of the 13 salons have a rating on file, and among those, the average is a full 5.0 stars. That's a strong signal, but a partial one — roughly half the salons here haven't accumulated public ratings yet, which is common for newer or smaller shops that get most of their business through repeat clients and referrals rather than online discovery. A missing rating isn't a red flag by itself; it just means you're relying more on word of mouth or a first visit to judge the place.
If you're choosing between two options, use booking availability and rating status together — that's about as much signal as this directory can give you before you show up.
How to Use This Directory
Start with the salon cards below. Each one shows what rating and review data exists, plus whether you can book online directly from the card. If a salon shows no rating, check whether it has a booking link and consider it worth a call anyway.
Treat this less like a ranked list and more like a shortlist you narrow down yourself: pick two or three that book online, look them up for photos or specialty details the directory doesn't carry, and go with the one that matches what you actually need — a quick trim versus a color appointment versus something more involved. The salons here span a few different zip codes around Cary, so it's worth checking which one is actually closest before you commit to a booking link.
