Hair Salons in North Carolina

Where the salons are

Charlotte leads the state with 105 listings, with Raleigh close behind at 93. Durham and Greensboro each have 79, and Winston Salem adds 78 — so the Piedmont accounts for the bulk of the directory. Asheville (16), Cary (13), and Wilmington (12) round out the eight cities we cover. If your town isn't listed yet, the nearest city page is the place to start; plenty of stylists draw clients from a wide radius.

What to know before you book

About 77% of the salons listed here carry a rating, and those average 4.73 stars — useful as a first filter, though a high average across hundreds of salons mostly tells you to read the recent reviews, not skip them. Roughly 70% take online booking, which makes it easy to compare availability before you commit.

One habit worth keeping: for anything beyond a routine trim — color, a major cut, a texture change — ask for a consultation first, even a quick one. How a salon handles that conversation tells you more than any star count.
