I recently moved from the west coast and needed my hair colored and soon. I called and they got me in the same day! Tonya did a great job, I would highly recommend her.

Finding someone who REALLY knows hair and color is hard to find. I left my stylist of 3 years once I found Shelly Smith, now I won't go to anyone but her. Love my hair!!!!

sierrabrook — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:00:00 GMT

This was my first time at this location and I was very pleased. Sarah did a great job with my color and was very helpful and friendly. From the time you walk into the door, they make you feel at home. I highly recommend haircolorxperts in Birkdale. The price is right too!

5 Stars: Shelly Smith is the best! (by Swedishthayng)

Swedishthayng — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I used to dread getting my hair done and basically had a fear of getting my hair cut until I came to Haircolorxperts in Birkdale. I've been getting my hair done by Shelly Smith for a couple years now and have never once been disappointed in the outcome. On top of always giving me a great cut she also does amazing highlights. I always walk out of the salon feeling beautiful. Go see Shelly, I promise you will NOT be disappointed!

I have had two good experiences so far at this location. Professional and friendly service at a reasonable price. I was even offered discounts for future services after each visit!

5 Stars: Amazing Experience! (by LaLaLindsay)

LaLaLindsay — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I was relocated to Charlotte back in the spring and trying to find a new hair stylist has been a nightmare! I finally started asking around and kept getting the same thing: "You must check out Hair Color Xperts in Birkdale". So, I called Monday and got in with Abbey Straight on Wednesday.

I arrived at the salon and was pleasantly greeted and offered a beverage. Abbey was amazing! She took her time to look at my hair, listen to my thoughts on what I wanted, and made great suggestions along the way. She taught me an amazing trick to get my hair styled the way I wanted it in only 5 minutes. I've never been THIS happy with a cut! I was so pleased that I booked a color appointment with her in 2 weeks.

I'll definitely be a client of Abbey's & HCX's for a very long time!

5 Stars: Awesome Salon (by showard72)

showard72 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

If you are looking for a new salon give Haircolorxperts at Brikdale a try. I go to Abbee Harvey and she cuts awesome bobs! I have an inverted bob and people stop and ask me all the time who cuts it. The salon is very nice and the staff are professional. The prices are reasonable and the sangria is good too! Give Abbee a try!

5 Stars: Hey honey....don't forget the kids! (by BigFan)

BigFan — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

After walking out of numerous hair salons who have stylists who do not know how to cut children's hair, I finally took my daughter to Haircolorxperts in Birkdale! It sure is challenging to find a style for a young girl who wants long hair but will not wear anything in it (barrett, ponytail, etc.)!! But not for Abbee Straight !! That woman created an adorable, flattering, stylish haircut for my daughter! Want to look great? Make an appointment with Abbee Straight !

5 Stars: Excellent service at HCX (by bharriga)

bharriga — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I've been coming to HCX for about 6 or 7 years now. I have never had a "bad" experience. It's like the stylists can read the minds of their customers, because i've observed others getting their hair done and they all seem very happy with the end result. No one wants to get a bad dye job, and when you come to this place it's very unlikely that will happen. Right off hand, I can recommend Abby whom currently I go to. I get compliments off my highlights a lot, because she knows exactly how to blend colors and low lights. The only thing I could possibly say as a con would be that some of their past employees have left, some of the ones I used to see. However, they seem to have rebuilt their staff lately in the new building. Overall, I do recommend for anyone looking for a good quality hair job to come here!

5 Stars: Hair color (by linzeylulu14)

linzeylulu14 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Ambra Groslimond Did my hair. She did a wonderful job. I am so happy with her, I have been to many hair salons in Cornelius NC, they by far are the best.

5 Stars: Excellent place for a haircut!!! (by GreenieBee)

GreenieBee — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

The stylist I had was so knowledgeable, answered all my questions and showed me how to style my hair. She was excellent. She understood what hair issues I was having and gave me great tips to solve those issues. She also listened to what I'm willing to do with my hair and had great suggestions on what cut would work best for me. I'm definitely going back for my next cut.

5 Stars: Great place to create a new look. (by Ashley Anne)

Ashley Anne — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

This is the best place to go and get your hair cut. I was so impressed the first time I went and will not go anywhere else!!

SarahSays — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I am of mixed race and have very particular hair. Shelly Smith does my hair and does a fabulous job! She is SO knowledgeable, professional and really friendly. I am NEVER disappointed. The other staff members there are also very friendly and their clients look great too.

5 Stars: moved to different hair color experts salon (by lindalocke2)

lindalocke2 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

We had followed Ambra from the Dilworth Salon to the Birkdale salon. This is the 3rd time we have had Ambra do my daughters hair and it turned out fantastic. She is wondeful with blonde highlights. We drive from Charlotte to Huntersville just to have Ambra do her hair. I also would like to say we liked this salon set up much better. The Dilworth salon is all open space....the Birkdale salon is so much more cozy.....you don't feel like you are out in the open. You feel more private when your head is covered with foils. I would recommend this salon and Ambra for your highlights....absolutely.

5 Stars: Amazing Job with an amazing price line (by casstink)

5 Stars: Thank you Abbee! (by Gwen Overbay)

Gwen Overbay — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Abbee is fantastic! At last I have found someone who makes my hair look great! Abbee always gives me the best cut, color and highlights. When I go to her I know that when I leave I will look like a million bucks! Thank you so much Abbee! I also want to let everyone know that Abbee did the Rejuvenol Brazilian Keratin Treatment on my hair and I absolutely love it! No doubt I would do it again! My hair takes half the time to dry and style and looks so shiney and healthy! Never have I had so many compliments on my hair! I highly recommend this treatment, never has my hair felt so good and looked so good. It's great knowing that humidity, rain, or perspiration will no longer affect my hair, I have the confidence no matter what the weather, my hair is going to always look its best! Again ~ thank you so much Abbee! YOU are the greatest!

5 Stars: Shelley Smith Master stylist (by Tracyeak)

Tracyeak — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Shelley is a wonderful hair stylist. She is great at knowing your face and hair and syling for what looks best on you. She cuts my hair and my my daughters hair too.

5 Stars: Great Hair Salon (by neelloc)

neelloc — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Abbee has been doing my hair for almost three years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. She always has great ideas for highligting my hair, knows how to give a flattering cut and always styles it to perfection.

She is a pleasure to go to and makes my hair look like a million bucks. I recommend her to anyone looking for a talented hair stylist who works tirelessly to make sure you are happy.

5 Stars: If you need your hair expertly done you need to go here! (by Diana Jansen)

Diana Jansen — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Anyone with fine hair knows how difficult it is to find a good stylist. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Shelly Smith, Master Stylist at Haircolorxperts in Birkdale. She was better then good! Shelly took her time in discussing what I was looking for, and when asked provided suggestions. I came away with a new style, expertly cut, and the best coloring I've had since I left New York 5 years ago.

5 Stars: A Salon that does it Right (by marlene50)

marlene50 — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I finally found a salon and stylist that knows what they are doing. Ambar is an excellent hair stylist and listens to what you want done. Then does it and does it Well!!The Salon is professional and notifies you to remind you of your appointment. I appreciate that service.
My highlights were done wonderfully and above and beyond. Ambar knew how to work with my hair and cut it beautifully.

5 Stars: Awesome Service! (by whytyis)

whytyis — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I am very reluctant for new people to touch my hair. I found that a couple of friends go here and have Sara Jarvis do their hair. I went to her for a highlight, LOVED IT and it cost me about $250 less than where I was going...
I called last week to make an appt and Sara was off, she came in and cut my hair anyway b/c there was no other day I was available. I now also take my daughter to her.. LOVE HER!!!

5 Stars: I had been almost everywhere! (by Lisa Me)

Lisa Me — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Reluctant to try another salon that could not only get the color right, but also a trim that doesn't look like a hairCUT. I definitely needed a professional that knew how to trim wavy/curly hair. I found that with Marcia at Haircolorxperts. She also did a great job on my color. I had been trying to do it myself and made it too dark. She corrected my mistakes without making me feel dumb. I really appreciated that! :) Looking forward to my next appointment!

4 Stars: Shelly is great! (by craf)

craf — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

She took the time to make sure I understood exactly what my hair would look like after the highlights and listened to my concerns.

Jules139 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Abbee has been my stylist for about two years now and I could not be happier!! She always takes the time to talk about what I'd like to do and is always willing to make suggestions. I have never been disappointed when leaving the salon!

5 Stars: Best place for all over hair care (by PAT NEIDLINGER)

PAT NEIDLINGER — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I had just moved to the area and couldn't find a qualified stylist. My first visit to Haircolorxperts was fabulous. Shelly is by far the best colorist in N.C. She can do absolutely anything you request, and her suggestions are the Best! My color is the prettiest its ever been.

5 Stars: Shelly Smith is awesome! (by carole fink)

carole fink — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Shelly can read minds! She knows how to make your hair look the best (color and cut). I highly recommend Haircolorxperts!

5 Stars: Go to Beth for a great cut and color! (by lcrawford34)

lcrawford34 — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Beth has given me the haircut and color I've always dreamed of. I couldn't be happier with my hair- once you have a good cut getting ready in the morning is so much easier!

5 Stars: Ashley is Great! (by ann3913)

ann3913 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Ashley has been my stylist for 4 years and I love the way my hair looks - both the cut and color. I've changed the style several times since I started going to her and each time she has listened carefully to what I want to do differently - and it always looks great when she's done! She takes a lot of time to makes sure my hair is perfect before I leave the shop and I never feel like she is rushing to get me out of the chair. She's also been great about fitting me in to her schedule when I need to make a last minute change to my appointment. She is the manager at the Birkdale Hiarcolorexperts and does a great job balancing that responsibility with her attention to me when I'm there. Plus she's a really sweet person and I enjoy talking to her!

5 Stars: A Great Hair Salon (by Kelly Zelazo)

Kelly Zelazo — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Beth is my hairdresser and she is wonderful. She always listens to what I would like to do or change. I never feel rushed during my haircuts or coloring. She always is on time and is very professional. I have been going to Haircolorxperts for almost 2 years. The salon is always very clean.

Thank you Beth!!!

5 Stars: Awesome Haircut! (by NC Transplant)

NC Transplant — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I moved here from NYC and was in dire need of a stylist who knew how to cut straight hair. In NYC you have to pay well over $100 for a great haircut so I never did find a decent hairdresser in the 3 years I was there. When I moved to Cornelius Beth Buchanan was recommended to me and VOILA!! Immediate success on cutting my stick straight hair so it looks like it has some body. If you have straight hair and don't want a perm, try Beth for cutting and styling your hair.

5 Stars: Great Haircut (by Bailey T)

Bailey T — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I recently received a hair cut from Ambra Groslimond at the Hair Color Xperts in Birkdale. I was hesitant to make this appointment because I typically go to a different stylist, but I was unable to make an appointment with her for this time - so I was set up with Ambra. She was very professional and listened to my very detailed instructions (i'm extremely picky) and her haircut was AMAZING. I will definitely be returning to her as my stylist.

5 Stars: Great Service! Great Color! (by bnthrift)

bnthrift — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Shauna is absolutely fabulous! She is super nice and makes me feel so comfortable every time I go in. I didn't go get my hair done on a regular basis until Shauna started to do my hair. Now, I look forward to going to see what great ideas she has for me the next time! I highly suggest everyone get color done by Shauna (especially blonde)!

5 Stars: Professional and Relaxed (by KAUS)

KAUS — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Abbe is a great stylist and a great person. Her conversations during your appointment are genuine and relaxing. She has great style and good insight into what type of cut suits you best.

5 Stars: Awesome color every time! (by andrearx)

andrearx — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Sarah always does an awesome job on my color and cut! I have dark hair and she always gets it right. My color comes out rich and shiny and lasts longer than other places I've tried. Sarah always takes the time to talk about what I want or how to change up my look just a little. The salon is clean and everyone is very friendly. Sarah is also great at recommending new products to give me the results I want (yay! microweb fiber for my fine hair!)
The price is also very reasonable and they tell you how much it will be before they start so no suprises!

5 Stars: great haircut (by je0214)

je0214 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Shelly at the Birkdale HCX is the best. The first time I used her was due to another salon's 3rd goof up on my hair. my dirty blonde hair had been turned red trying to go darker. I called and got app w/ Shelly that morning. Not only did she fix my hair without burning it up, she soothed my "OMG my hair looks like medusa" nerves. She is a really great colorist. I just took in a pic out of a catalog and she nailed it exactley! Highly recommended!!!!

5 Stars: A Great Salon! (by Karen Stevenson)

Karen Stevenson — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I recently moved to the Birkdale area and was lucky to find Sarah who gave me beautiful highlights and a great cut! I will definetly recommend her and I already have my next appointment!

5 Stars: FINALLY A STYLIST WHO CAN DO PLATINUM BLONDE!! (by Southern Magnolia Mineral)

Southern Magnolia Mineral — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

If you are looking for someone to make you go truly platinum, my stylist, Shelly Smith is your go-to girl! She has never let me down! I spent years trying to find someone who could take me platinum, and I always ended up with yellow, brassy, even purple hair!! Then I did a search and someone had recommended Hair Color Xperts, so I gave it a try. Shelly has been my stylist for nearly 2 years now. Not only can she color hair, but she can give you a haircut like nobodys business! She listens, and uses the latest techniques to give the best cut for you. Incredibly customer oriented, Shelly spends time with you, makes suggestions, and ultimately gives you exactly what you want! She loves what she does and it shows when you walk out the door! Shelly is 5 stars in my book!!

5 Stars: Excellent Service - See Abbee Harvey (by hbullard7)

hbullard7 — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

If you are new to the area or just needing a new stylist (as I did) please go see Abbee Harvey, Sr. Stylist at Haircolorxperts in Birkdale. She is always prompt, attentive, up to date on styles and has an eye for great color- not to mention the ability. Highly recommended

Ellen B — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Go see Sarah for a great haircut. She will take the time to look at your hair before she cuts it and work out a plan with your input. She's fresh and funky! The salon not only called me to confirm the appt. but called me the day after to make sure I was happy. Great customer service.

5 Stars: Shauna Hall Rocks (by BPriddy)

BPriddy — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

So we all know that moving to a new place is not easy! Especially when you find that hair stylist that you absolutely love and does a great job everytime! Well I moved to Charlotte about a year ago and was lucky enough to have found Shauna. I never really did a lot of color and just had your normal hair cut because I was trying to grow mine out! Well that all changed with Shauna! I let her experiment a bit using blond and red and putting more layers in, adding bangs, etc., and everytime it comes out perfect. I can tell you that in the past year I haven't had one complaint about my hair and I get compliments all the time about how great my hair looks. She's such a sweetheart and so personable! You gotta book an appointment with this girl!

4 Stars: Sarah is my hero! (by zingcat)

zingcat — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Haircolorxperts in Birkdale Village for about 8 months, now. Sarah has done an incredible job, cutting and coloring my hair. She always listens to my concerns, then suggests ways to help me acheive my desired look. She is very knowledgable and talented. I have recommended Sarah many times to friends.

5 Stars: Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! (by JLF)

JLF — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I cannot say enough great things about Sarah at Haircolor Experts in Birkdale Village! Due to bad experiences in the past, I am that annoying person who tells the stylists exactly how to cut my hair, specific pieces to layer, precise strips to highlight, etc. The first time Sarah cut my hair, bless her heart, she was so sweet and put up with my bossy requests and she gave me exactly what I wanted! I continued to use her and each time she made suggestions and I loved everything she suggested everytime! Now when I see Sarah I actually tell her to "do whatever" because I know she knows what's she's doing, she knows what will look good on me and my ability to replicate the style! Sarah truly has the clients' best interests at heart!
I HEART YOU SARAH!!!

5 Stars: Abbee is the best :) (by KGN)

KGN — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I used to be a client at Haircolorexperts in south Charlotte and loved it, but since I no longer work down there, I figured it would be best to find a salon closer to home. I "salon shopped" for a while and, unfortunately, had one of the worst cuts of my life...I was afraid to say anything, in fear that the stylist would cut all my hair off!! Finally, I stumbled across Haircolorexperts in Birkdale and was thrilled. I took a chance and made an appt. with Abbee. After my first cut, I was hooked! (Not to mention that my husband told me I looked like a movie star!) She corrected my my terrible haircut and made me feel pretty again. I may not have been blessed with the best hair in the world, but let me tell you that Abbee makes it look beautiful and healthy. She is a wonderful colorist & stylist and a wonderful person. I have been her client for almost two years now and plan on being one for life. I would highly recommend her anyone. Thanks Abbee for making me pretty again :)

5 Stars: Awesome haircut! (by mommybella)

mommybella — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I am such a hard person to please when it comes to my hair! So, when I find a good hair stylist I want to shout it to the world! And I have! Shelly Smith at Haircolorexperts in Birkdale is truly amazing. She takes her time, concentrates and provides you with her utmost attention to detail! Truly an expert at what she does! I would recommend her wholeheartedly!

5 Stars: Beth Buchanan rocks!! (by Jenn1077)

Jenn1077 — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I have an 9 mth old and work a full time job, so am very busy. My time with Beth and my white glass of wine is sacred to me. I had a stylist in PA that I thought would never be duplicated and would just bounce form stylist to stylist whenever I felt like getting a cut. Since the first color Beth has exceeded my expectations with color and style and knows exactly what I like. i love the experience and consistency. . . .I highly, highly recommend Beth Buchanan!

5 Stars: HIGHLY recommend (by KathleenMB)

KathleenMB — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Just recently moved here from out of state and had to do the painful search for a new stylist. I knew about and was a client of haircolorxperts when it was haircolorxpress several years ago in South Florida, so i was interested in giving them a try again. Especially after wndow shopping a couple of salons that had people with NO customer service skills at the front desk. As soon as I walked in, I experienced warmth and welcoming attitudes. It made me feel that they APPRECIATED my business.

Ambra was the stylist who was recommended for my color match need and curly hair challenge. She took control of my color and did an outstanding match along with fabulous new highlights. She got the tone and color right with my highlights as they can be brassy on me. She knew exactly what to do and I was confident in HER confidence. Yet, she still encouraged my thoughts and opinions...I've been to hair stylists who do what they want their way. She also passed the test of cutting curly hair and blowing it out straight...she had much expectation to live up to as my previous stylist was a master with the blowouts that lasted a long time. She did such a wonderful job...I will continue to go to her for future appointments.

5 Stars: Great place, friendly staff! Loved Sarah! (by kennarn)

kennarn — Tue, 12 May 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I just recently moved here and I'm always nervous about changing hair stylists, so I went on the reviews here and was glad I did! The receptionist was very friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. My hair stylist was Sarah and she was fantastic! I felt like she really listened to what I wanted and took her time to make sure I was happy with the results. I will definitely return to see Sarah and I'm excited that I found a great stylist on my first try.

5 Stars: Leslie is the BEST!!!! That is an understatement! (by arol444)

arol444 — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 09:00:00 GMT

First off....I have NEVER written one of these reviews. Even when my hair has been butchered. I went in tonight to see Leslie based on what I had already read on Citysearch. Everyone that has seen her in the brief time she has been here (7 weeks so far), is absolutely correct! I had waist length, straight, BORING hair and was ready for a change. Where most would be scared...or do TOO much change....she had just the right balance of change and not being too over the top. She took off about 7 inches, and did a fabulous contract of hi and low lites. Although it is a "big" change...it is not over the top at all. I have very THIN hair, and she did subtle layering that makes my hair actually look fluffy and bouncy. I cannot believe it. I grabbed a few business cards and will tell everyone to go and see her! She is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for doing what you did Leslie. I put ALL my trust in you, and you did not disappoint at all! Oh yea...her prices were actually surprisingly reasonable for all of her experience. I was amazed! Worth every single penny! You rock!

5 Stars: Leslie was Awesome! (by CarolineH2009)

CarolineH2009 — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I went to Haircolorxperts in Birkdale Village for the first time last week. Leslie cut and styled my hair and she was AWESOME! She has over ten years of training/experience in California and it shows. From the start, she was professional and a pleasure to talk to. She listened to what I wanted and gave me her experienced advice. I walked out of there with a great cut and style -- got compliments all weekend long!
I was very happy with my experience with Leslie, I will definately go back to her, and I highly recommend her. She's very new to Lake Norman, so get in with her before she gets really booked up! I found her rates very reasonable in addition. What more do you want?

5 Stars: Leslie @ haircolorxperts - miracle worker (by ajimages)

ajimages — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I need to highly recommend a hairstylist I discovered today. I had one of those traumatic experiences when I took on the tast of coloring my own hair using Henna. I chose to give the natural Henna hair dye a try and it came out anything but natural. The color was so ungodly awful, and as I went online to discover how hard it is to restore - the main advice being... "shave it off and try again", I realized I entered into a nightmare. I walked into the salon with my burnt orange with a slight black hue hair tucked underneath my hat and talked with Leslie. She seemed to know what she was doing from the start. With the color I had stained in my hair, my expectations were low. Anything normal looking would have sufficed. But Leslie far supassed what I imagined. I walked in looking like egor, and walked out of there with a more gorgeous fabulous color than I was originally aiming for when I tried to dye it in the first place. My hair will be in her care from now on.

Cdalt — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Abbee Straight at haircolorxperts is the best stylist I have ever been to. I went to her about 2 years ago, and I haven't seen anyone else since. She knows all the latest techniques, and I trust her 100%. I never have to tell her what I want. She just always knows exactly what to do, does it perfectly, and I leave happy every time. I have several friends who saw Abbee before I did and they say the exact same thing. She's fantastic! See her one time and you'll be hooked for life.

5 Stars: I LOVE this salon! (by BRogne)

BRogne — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:00:00 GMT

I moved here 3 years ago from Tucson, AZ. I tried several salons in my area, and could not find anywhere I felt comfortable. A friend reccommended Hair Color Xperts at Birkdale, and although I live 45 minutes away from the salon, I made an appointment. I met Abbee there, and she is a hair stylist angel sent from heaven. She LISTENS! She is great at what she does... even when I was third trimester hugely pregnant, she was patient and offered suggestions when I couldn't figure out a style that would not make me look frumpy. The manager there will greet you when you walk in, and she has never failed to offer coffee or soda. It is a warm and friendly place where the stylists and clients chat together, comparing notes, lives, etc. I have ALWAYS had a pleasant experience, and I PASS about 20 salons just to get there. Also it is near a Starbucks, and that's a nice bonus.

5 Stars: I love this salon (by beebee050486)

beebee050486 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:00:00 GMT

I have been a customer for two years now and Abbee is wonderful...i will not let ANYONE else touch my hair. My color always comes out amazing and my cut exactly what I'm looking for. I can give her an idea and she gives me wonderful advice. She is always up to teaching me new styling tips. I love the salon its very clean and all the ladies have smiles on their faces. The ladies in the front are quick to notice me and help me. I feel like my business as a client is well appreciated. I think Ashley is great keeping the place organized and operates the salon smoothly with alot of heart. I will continue to stay a customer for years to come!!!

1 Stars: I WOULDN'T EVEN TRY THIS SALON! (by nimc65)

nimc65 — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:00:00 GMT

The prices continue to go up the quality of service has gone way down. the atmosphere is warehouseish, uninviting,and the tempature is uncomftorably cold.

There is a new manager that has taken over the last year and is unskilled as far as customer service, or managing people in general. When you walk in you feel like you are bothering her to let you know you are here to see your stylist. She stomps through the salon like she is irritated and looks like she just rolled out of bed hair pulled up or wet doesn't even care to wear any makeup . How does a beauty salon represent themselves that way?

I have been a client for several years seeing a stylist in particular, she has been wonderful to me professional and makes me feel comtorable she took the time to listen to what i wanted every time i saw her. unfourtunatly i can not find my stylist. the manager will not tell me where she went. I have been a loyal client to my stylist not the salon, lula did my hair, not the manager or any other stylist.

Seeing the turnover the past few MONTHS i am not at all interested in trying a new stylist, there has been 5 stylist that have left within a month 3 of wich were in 1 week. New hire has less than 1 year experience and they come and go within a month. i specifically asked for one in particular and she was gone too. I am uncomftorable sitting in am empty salon and letting someone who has less than two years experience touch my hair!

In addition to the unprofessional management, you can see her irritation towards stylist, stomping through the salon I never felt comftorble asking if she would have a magazine. I am so dissapointed not being able to find my stylist ! If it weren't for Lula i would never give that salon a penny of mine.

5 Stars: Great Job Abby (by angellee74)

angellee74 — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 09:00:00 GMT

My stylist was Abby, and I thought she did an AMAZING job, well worth the money. Really listened to what I wanted. I had a cut and highlights put in for a christmas party and was very nervous how it would turn out. I have medium brown hair, and a tan complexion but for some reason stylists always try to give me brassy yellow highlights. Abbee used color for the highlights instead of bleach, and the final effect was just what I wanted. She also took the time to teach me a new styling trick with the flat iron! Very happy, and will be going back again.

5 Stars: Laurie Mitchell is awesome! (by bclewagner)

bclewagner — Thu, 08 May 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Laurie Mitchell is my stylist. She does a wonderful job at taking the time to listen to what you want and making sure you feel comfortable. She fixed my hair where another salon had messed it up. I have had a ton of compliments on my hair and its cut and color. Thanks, Laurie!

5 Stars: Lula is the Best! (by IPena)

IPena — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 09:00:00 GMT

I've been a very happy client of HairColor Experts for over a year now. It is always a wonderful experience. Lula has been my hairstylist and I highly recommend her expertise. She always brings out the best in hair color and cut. The ladies in the salon are very friendly as well.

5 Stars: A little touch of class in Birkdale Village (by ronpbonz)

ronpbonz — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:00:00 GMT

My name is Ron and I recently had a fantastic experience with the Birkdale HairColor Experts. All the girls that work there are very professional as well as friendly. My stylist was Laurie Mitchell and she did my first razor cut and it was totally awesome. She is very professional and very talented with a razor as well as color. I'm 50 and have quite a few grays and she matched my color like no one has done before, you would never know that my hair was colored, it looks so natural I feel totally comfortable and look 10 years younger. I would highly recommend going to see Laurie if your looking for a truly great cut and color by a true expert. Thank You Laurie.

5 Stars: Shelly is a great stylist! (by xurissaxu)

xurissaxu — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 09:00:00 GMT

i've gone to this place a couple times in the past. On my last haircut, I went somewhere else. It was terrible, It reminded me why I liked hair color experts in the first place. My favorite stylist is Shelly. She listens and really does a great job with hair. If you have a thick frizzy hair, Shelly can really help you out!

1 Stars: disappointed (by carolinachick)

carolinachick — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Disappointed !!!!! That would be the best word to describe my feelings about this Salon. As a long time client of this place, I have recently become an ex-client. My hair for the past year and a half has always been fine, but the way Jessie made me feel was FABULOUS!! Thats really why I loved going so much. She always sincerely seemed excited that I was there. Well , Jessie is gone now and I couldn't believe the difference it has made to the attitude and energy that flows so poorly in this Salon. I was greeted by --NO ONE-- at the front, a minute later a girl walks up chewing on some food after being chased down by a stylist who was busy working on her client but saw me lingering at the desk, then I didn't get my normal welcome (like Jessie would have done), which mainly consisted of a drink offer. They just said "It will be a few minutes "and quickly walked back to wherever she was before I interrupted. So my stylist came and that all went fine as usual. UNTIL!! We were ready for the check out and there was once again -NO ONE -at the desk. Honestly 5 minutes later the girl ( I was told that day to be the NEW MANAGER), comes up as though she was annoyed by something. I felt like maybe it was me. With no remark or second look at me she told me my total -"$212."And then looked at me with a look on her face that honestly made me feel like a burden to her at that moment! I'm not a rich lady so when i spend $212 in the salon People ,can you smile at me then tell me my hair looks great? Lie to me or something! I didn't make my next appt. that day because she didn't bother asking therefore i haven't been back!

5 Stars: Great Service! (by lucygoosyunc)

lucygoosyunc — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Went to Haircolorxperts at Lake Norman sort of last minute and had an amazing experience. The service was the best I have ever had at a hair salon. Ron was my stylist and he was sincerely interested in what I wanted and needed in my haircut and I left completely satisfied. The cost was $42 for a cut which is reasonable, but the service was extraordinary. I will definately recommend this salon and Ron to anyone looking for a great place to get their haircut!

5 Stars: Great color and cut (by dotdotyk)

dotdotyk — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I will definitely keep coming to Ron at Haircolorexperts, Birkdale. He listens to what I want and suggests how to get the results. My color and cut have been great! The whole staff there is professional and there to please you. I will be moving to Oklahoma soon but plan to come back to Ron when back in town for visits. When I find someone that can style my fine, thin hair.......I will be back.

5 Stars: Feel like a goddess! (by ashmloom)

ashmloom — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Hair color experts in Lake Norman is certianly the best salon I have ever been and I highly recommend it. You walk in a notice how it is so upscale the place is, and you think you are going to be paying an arm and a leg. Absolutely not. This salon is beautiful! They offer you a drink before you even sit down, they make you feel like a GODDESS! Abbee cut my hair, and I am telling you that is the best hair cut I have ever had, at the time my hair was down past my shoulders and I told her to make it funky and cute! What do you know she did wonders, she cut it about an inch above my shoulders (thats alot of hair), she thinned it out, put some layers thru out and dyed the top with some blonde highlights. I'm tell you what I was bringing SEXEY(had to changed the spelling or it wouldn't let me add it!!) back, FOR REAL! I felt like a new woman, after I left. There is no way I could EVER change stylist! Abbee did a fantasic job, and I do recommend her and the salon! Thanks Abbee!

5 Stars: Can't Rave Enough! (by jackiewillse)

jackiewillse — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I sought out HairColorExperts at Lake Norman when I was in the area visiting a friend last week. I have long red hair and I was wanting to give my hair some personality rather than the usual plain trim.

After making my appointment, I was greeted very warmly and offered a beverage. I had made an appointment with a woman named Abbee. She was extremely bright and friendly upon approach.

I have tons of heavy red hair- most people usually cut it as best they can and hurry through it in 15 minutes. Abbee took her time and really did a wonderful job. She made my hair have the personality I wanted it to and even made it feel so much lighter without taking too much off the bottom.

I love that they quote you the prices up front so you have no suprises. The experience is upscale, but you don't pay for it. I'm amazed that I paid a smidge more than the usual corner shop hair cuttery place and got an upscale salon experience.

I've already recommended this place to friends and especially Abbee. I live in Raleigh, but I'll wait until I'm in Charlotte again just to go back there.

5 Stars: Its like a new me (by rachdezigns)

rachdezigns — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I have been here before and loved my experience. I haven't been back in awhile because I have moved and been planning my wedding! when I arrived at the salon, I knew that my stylist (shelly) had her work cut out for her. My hair was choppy for not being cut in awhile and I wanted more depth to my highlights and lowlights. Talk about being made over!! She made my hair look the best it has looked in the longest time! All the stylist's there are so sweet and everyone makes you feel like your special. I would definetely go back just for the experience but also for the way Shelly made me look and feel.

5 Stars: Finally, Something Different (by glitz800)

glitz800 — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 09:00:00 GMT

I really wanted to do something different with my hair, but haven't had the confidence to do it up until now. The girl that did my hair had just come back from some special color training and helped me to create a look that was unique w/out looking too wild. I LOVE IT !

1 Stars: Not happy at all (by natajuni)

natajuni — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 09:00:00 GMT

My hair is naturally dark but I have had it colored and highlighted blonde for about 15 years. When I went in, the girl told ME what she would do and I figured that maybe she knew better. She showed me the pieces of hair in the color chart and it looked like it would be pretty. She was the one who went to school, right? Well, my hair was GREEN. She colored my hair DARK BROWN and put in GREEN highlights. When I went in to have it color corrected, the sullen young girl who was assigned to me (I made sure to go in when my original girl was off) got an attitude and insisted my hair was NOT green. An instructor came over and showed her that it was indeed green. Why the instructor did not fix my hair, I will never know. I was not at all happy with the do over but what was I to do. Telling everyone about the bad experience is my only choice. It is a disappointment as I did have high hopes for this place. The price was no bargain either and now I am freaked out to go to anyone because it was such a horrible experience not to mention the four extra hours on my only day off to try to get it fixed. I actually cried because I looked so terrible and now I buy Loreal Coleur Experte and do it myself.

4 Stars: Truth (by kotabella)

kotabella — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 09:00:00 GMT

I was impressed with the salon in the way that it looked. The stylist (mid level) asked me a lot of questions as to what I wanted. I wanted a warm brown color that as it faded out my hair would still look natural. My color came out about two shades darker than what I had expected (looked black)but it still looked nice. When she gave me my cut she trimmed the bangs a little shorter than what I wanted and when she styled it she did a terrific job but I was not able to style it the same way. As the color grew out of my hair I didn't have to color my roots which is what I wanted and my hair still looked natural. The chemicals were not as harsh as I thought they would have been. When it comes down to it I would go there again to get my hair colored but as far as the cut - even though it was not bad, I have had better cuts at CostCutters.

5 Stars: Love it! (by blondee2989)

blondee2989 — Mon, 08 May 2006 09:00:00 GMT

I was in over the weekend becasue I could not get in with my regular hairdresser. I can't remember the woman's name that did my hair but it is BEAUTIFUL and I am very particular.

They were also very nice. I can't wait to go back. I told them I would send my friends.

1 Stars: Not worth it! (by elena1)

elena1 — Thu, 04 May 2006 09:00:00 GMT

I learned a great lesson by going to this salon. Expensive doesn't mean it's better or in this case even good. I booked my appointment with the highest level stylist they had and came out of there looking like I cut my own hair. My hair looks chopped, uneven and my layers do not even blend in with the rest of my hair. Plus, one side is longer then the other. This is one of the worst haircuts I have ever had. Don't waste your money, it's not worth it.

I travel to Charlotte every Month from New York. Stopped into this Salon for a quick trim and had the BEST cut/color I have ever had! I now use Laurie as my permanent stylist! I work in fashion and I have never had so many compliments on my hair.The service from all the staff is exceptional!

New to Huntersville - tried some of the usual suspects and was stoked when I found hair color experts - great cut & color - the staff was friendly and helpful unlike most other high end salons I tried in the area. Hilary is who I saw.

I used to go to another upscale salon and changed to haircolorxperts 5 months ago for various reasons. I can honestly say that my experience at my new salon has been nothing but positive. The salon is very clean and the staff is hip. I am always treated as if I was a new customer. Job well done!
