What's well-covered here
Barbering is the deepest category in Winston Salem. Twenty-one salons list men's cuts and the same number handle fades, with 20 offering beard trims — so grooming is easy to find across the city.
Salon-chair services hold steady behind that: 19 places offer women's cuts, 19 do styling, and 19 run blowouts. Textured and natural hair is well represented too, with 17 salons each handling protective styles, locs, and braids, plus 11 that offer weaves and 11 that do extensions.
Color is the thinner slice. Seven salons list highlights, seven do hair color, and seven offer balayage — enough to have options, but worth booking ahead since the pool is smaller.

How to use this directory
Start with the service you need. The listings are grouped by work like fades, braids, locs, or balayage, so you're only looking at salons that offer it. Keep in mind a service tag means the shop does that work, not that it's their whole focus — so read a few reviews and check recent photos before you commit.
If you want to book online, filter for it; otherwise, note the salons without booking and plan to call. Once you've shortlisted two or three, come in with a clear reference — a photo of the cut, length, or color you want makes the consultation faster and the result closer to what you pictured.
