Parlor 7 Salon And Day Spa in Wilmington, NC

Layton is absolutely amazing! I drove 2 hours just to have my hair done by him and he never disappoints!! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!  Thank you again for everything!

Morgan was running an hour behind when I got there and she had left her appointment book at home so she didn't know who I was or what I was supposed to be getting with her. When I finally got in her chair an hour later she admitted that she hadn't brought supplies with her to do any colors besides blond. She ended up having to borrow some color from another one of the stylists.

Long story short, the color she gave me looks like a bad home box-dye accident. It was supposed to be a dark auburn, but it turned out this unnatural cherry cola. She told me it would tone down after a few washes, but it hasn't. It's still terrible. She doesn't do refunds. She said I could come in for her to fix it, but I live out of town. I wouldn't really trust her to fix it anyway. I asked her to tone down the brightness halfway through the process and whatever she did didn't help.

To top things off, she didn't put a towel around my neck when she washed the dye out and the collar of one of my favorite shirts is now stained with red splotches. I would not recommend her, and I would absolutely never go back to her.

Kiersten did my hair last week. We had scheduled, she cancelled and rescheduled again. I was understanding because I know things can happen in life we have no control over.

When I arrived Kiersten was nice with a bubbly personality. However, she had failed to ask me what I wanted to do with my hair before the appointment and wasn't sure we had enough time in the schedule. I showed her my desired outcome and she assured me that we could get my hair to a good place during the appointment.

We cut my hair first, which went well. She understood what I wanted and did a great cut in a few minutes. Which is why I gave her the 2 stars.

During my appointment, Kiersten was incredibly unprofessional. She talked about how being so messy was a part of who she is, had me hold the box of foils during my service, joked about cheating on her boyfriend, made several comments about how she could charge $500 for this service in LA (in LA, we expect the customer service & the actual service to be perfect, so.. doubtful). She dropped bleach on my eyebrow, got hair all over my clothes, and insisted that messy was her "style".

Kiersten's "assistant" came in midway though the appointment, it was her first day. The "assistant" had no experience in the industry, and was actually a film student. She burnt my head with a blow dryer. I tried to be understanding here. It wasn't the assistants fault that she was given as task she hadn't been trained or prepared for.

My results: I give her a photo of a cool bright blonde with shadow roots, what I got was gray hair.
I figured that the toner was in too long and that it would rinse out some and give my hair the look I asked for. I was wrong. What I got was yellow and gray hair. Which isn't cute.

I called to ask for a refund for the color only. Kiersten refused. She proceeded to blame me for the way my hair looks. "It's your shampoo" (I use professional shampoo and conditioner) "it's your water"... I washed my hair ONCE. Clearly she was being defensive. She offered to redo the color, but I insisted that I would prefer my normal hair gal fix the mess she left.

If you're looking for a new hair gal, see Rachel Childs or Bethany McElroy at Salon 1 up the street.

Mr. Tony Hardeman is hands down the best stylist I have had the pleasure of meeting! I was feeling very frustrated with my last color and wanted a change. He was accommodating I made an appointment few days in advance and he called prior to appointment to discuss what I was trying to accomplish. At the end of appointment gave me opportunity to style my hair and even fixed a longer bang I kept moving. He showed me how to style my hair for quicker out the door style. I really appreciated the experience and I will be back!

The in-house Aesthetician, Dorothy, is amazing at her craft. She offered great advice on skincare. She also runs a great lash promo for Mondays. I highly recommend you check her out. She books up fast.

She also does bridal makeup appointments. WOW! All her brides look amazing.

Her room is an oasis from the hustle and bustle. Very serene and carefully thought out. It's not hard to take a nap while she works on you.

If you want to pamper yourself, then definitely check out her services. You won't be disappointed.
