Cypress Salon and Spa in Holly Springs, NC

Hi!  My name is Terry and one of my first challenges when I moved to Holly Springs from California three years ago was to find a top-notch hair salon that I could trust to handle all my hair needs consistently over time.  I lived in California for many years at Huntington Beach and Seal Beach and my wife and I backpacked the high Sierras through Mount Whitney and Yosemite for over 20 years so we adore the wild, beautiful, rugged, and naturally wild, pure, and scenic areas around us.  So I was looking for a wonderful hair salon with all the accoutrements of a high-end solon spa that would take care of my needs exactly as I wanted them.  Owner Sharon Sabato's Cypress Hair Salon and Spa is delightfully exactly that.  The Cypress Salon is a place you look forward to coming to because it is an extension of your personal life where family and friends treat you lovingly and you feel at home as you enter and like the very best version of yourself when you leave.

My personal hair stylist is Faith who has acted as a New York hair designer for me since my first appointment with her and she understood my hair's personality and color variations that same day and my wife was very happy with the results then and every time since.  In my work I meet with celebrities, heads of corporations, and congressmen in both formal and informal environments and Faith is exceptional in preparing me for these events where cameras will be flicking and sometimes video interviews.  She is fantastic in the way she always gets my hair color right and knows where my hair wants to be and where it needs to be and works out the logarithm every time.  Peaceful hair is happy hair, and happy hair is beautiful.

If you want to be treated like a movie star, come see Faith at Sharon Sabato's Cypress Hair Salon!  They will even serve you wine while you are becoming sensational-looking.

The Cypress Aveda Salon in Holly Springs is the best! I had a haircut and color recently. I had made a big mess with coloring my hair myself and had bands of different colors. Faith, along with head stylist Daniel, gave me the best color ever! It looks amazing and so natural. It is all one gorgeous color that shines and looks healthy and natural. Faith also gave me an amazing haircut. She instinctively knew to cut my hair shorter than the photo I had brought in. She was right! Most hairdressers that I have been to would have cut it even shorter, but she just knew. I was so thankful! Daniel was so incredibly knowledgeable about hair, and would at times step in and make cuts and snippets to my hair that I've never seen before. Even on a windy day, every single strand of hair falls strategically back into place. Honestly, it was the best haircut and color I've ever had, and I am not a young spring chicken. Highly recommend.

While the woman at the front is kind, she messed up my appointment. I called about a month ago and today was the soonest appointment. I am 38 weeks pregnant and really was looking forward to a haircut! I walked in and the woman I was scheduled with no longer works at the salon. It seems to be a bit of a hot mess at this place.

Wow - I wish I would have seen the previous review before I went in. Im disheartened that they had this feedback already and continue to let this happen. I had a similar experience and now have butchered hair. To be clear, this is not Faith's fault. She's just a kid trying to get started. It's the owner's fault for putting her out there when she is clearly not ready.

I booked a partial highlight and gloss with a refresh cut. Really I Just wanted to get rid of my grey. Faith needed Daniel's help (30 minutes of discussion before she we got started) and then started doing my baby lights....  Only they weren't. They were big chunks of hair - think Kelly Clarkson early 2000s. I said something and she started undoing it by spraying with water and wiping the bleach out with a towel. Then got Daniel who explained to her we needed to actually wash it out. After a half wash and then some color to address the greys and add color back to what had bleached out, Daniel went on to show her how to do baby lights and ended up just doing all the foils (saving grace). Then Faith removed foils and washed and did whatever gloss (coached by Daniel).

I told her I was growing my hair out and really just a little cleanup cut if she thought my hair really needed it. She's cutting and chatting and seems like a lot of hair coming off but we were clear on less than a 1/2 inch so I didn't say anything. Then onto the blow dry. She added so much product to my very fine hair and then kinda blew it all straight back and kept burning me with the hairdryer. She asked me if I thought it was all dry and I was confused when she was acting done because it was just all blown back like when you take down your ponytail and your hair kinda stays. I tried to run my fingers through and pulled it forward to see it and that was when I saw how bad the cut was. My hair is totally butchered. She layered it up the front and sides. It's a good 3 inches shorter at the ends than when I went in and chunks 4-6 inches shorter than my actual hair length in unwanted layers. Daniel came to try to fix it but you can't uncut hair. And it was so incredibly greasy from all the product. I've washed it a few times now but the cut is a disaster. It'll be more than a year to undo this. Shame on the owner for knowing this is taking place and allowing it to continue. Just don't go here.

I made an appointment over the phone for a haircut. I was booked with Faith. I waited about 10 minutes to even be acknowledged by the owner, Sharon as she was on the phone. Once I was helped, Faith got started with my shampoo. The shampoo was accompanied by an awkward (and borderline inappropriate) conversation. My head was not scrubbed at all during the shampoo and after it was done, I still had visible shampoo bubbles in my hair. I told Faith I just wanted a slight trim as I have been growing out my hair for four years and it was the longest it's ever been. Faith got to cutting and let me know she just recently graduated from hair school and was next to the master stylist (Daniel) so he could "watch" her. Which I feel like I should've been told about before the cut. When Faith finished my trim (two hours later) she asked me if I thought it was even.... I am not a hair stylist & I can not see the back of my head so I nervously said I hope so... when I got home, I noticed my hair was extremely butchered. My hair was also incredibly greasy from all of the product that she put in it. I washed it twice and still felt like I had major build up. I had three lengths added to my hair (and didn't have layers to begin with) and a hand full of extremely short pieces that were about CHIN length. I went in with my hair to the middle of my back. After multiple coworkers at my workplace commented on the uneven haircut, I contacted the salon to see if I could get it fixed. They brought me in a few days later to have it fixed. I was shocked that they let Faith touch my hair again after what she did in the first place. The fix barely helped and just made things shorter which I didn't want because I just wanted a trim in the first place. Two weeks of being extremely aggravated with my uneven haircut, I called the salon back to book with their master stylist, Daniel to chop my hair off into a short bob. I explained the situation to the owner and she put me on hold for ten minutes. After ten minutes, she answered and said "hello...hello??" Acting like she couldn't hear me. She hung up and I immediately called back. She did not answer.. I tried to call back three times that day and was sent to voicemail. I ended up going to another fabulous aveda salon in the area to get a chop and they were absolutely incredible and actually told me they have heard the same things happening at this salon! I am overall extremely aggravated that I had to chop my long hair that I worked so hard to grow out, and wasted a total of over $140 total on a trim gone wrong. Please avoid this salon at all costs.
