I am very particular about my hair, moving to NC three years ago, I have been looking for a good stylist...and I just found one!!!! :):) I have thick and curly hair, this is a salon that I would give 10/10. Jamal is excellent, a seasoned stylist that I would highly recommend. Great hospitality, he offers great advice, is patient and very detailed, takes his time for a perfect color, cut and blow out. Thank You Jamal you have one very happy client!!

BEST HAIR CUT I’VE EVER GOTTEN!!! Jamal was amazing- he took his time after I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he not only recreated it but made it the exact hair style I’ve always wanted. He also served me some amazing tea and a baklava treat- so yummy!! Oh, and I also was able to get a same day appt which is difficult to do in the area. I’ll definitely be going back!!! Thank you so much!!

CONSISTENT CONTRACTION... My experience was like the headline states, regularly expressing one thing and ultimately providing another. I will list below some of my frustrations in attempting to make this my new location for hair services. Cannot say I share the sentiments of other reviewers (which was a factor in booking). The overall cut was not terribly bad, but it was not what we discussed and not an overall pleasant experience. * During consultation, Jamal highlights how he teaches students that "it's not hair left on the floor, but what is left on the head [customer]". Good line, quite true, and implies the style that remains is what matters most. OK, I agree... then why after expressing my satisfaction with the length does he proceeds to cut off more hair? * Says he doesn't know about my preferences because I'm new and he rather ask. Again, I agree... then why didn't he ask BEFORE cutting off my side burns and butchering my neck with a straight blade razor (see pic)? * Detailed cut scheduled, but doesn't trim ears at all... either actual ears nor where ear meets hair line. Not a "formal" /detailed service for a men's buzz and cut based on my 3+ decades receiving men's cuts. * Charges for a rinse (not discussed) AFTER paying a rate of $10 greater then the standard haircut price. With the "upgraded" full cut & a shampoo, total time was only 35 minutes (including the "consult" for a new customer) * $45 "formal" cut + $5 shampoo add-on + a 15% tip (which I immediately regretted), the rate issue is compounded by not disclosing the fourth fee (payment processing) until AFTER the card is charged. That is a blatant violation of the service providers' contracts and I'm fairly confident is illegal. Following an experience involving not properly listening, arguing with the customer about MY hair, cutting off too much, and taking multiple actions to my detriment... there's a THIRD service fee (formal cut/ shampoo/ payment system fee) adding insult to literal injury. Seriously?!

I had a great experience getting my hair dyed black, very nice environment, I got lucky and was able to be taken care of the same day. Very friendly and professional staff members .

Jamal is not only a true artist and a talented professional, he is a very warm and caring individual. He made time to do my hair extremely last minute right before Thanksgiving- and he did such a phenomenal job I brought my mom, sister and our two young sons in the next day all to get their hair done as well. He cut, colored and styled every single one’s hair to perfection. He was so patient and kind. He was very attentive to what everyone wanted, we all left so happy. He has forever customers in us!

Jamal did an amazing job with my hair! I got it colored elsewhere and needed some correction and he made it look absolutely perfect. Also, the blow out looked gorgeous. He is a true talent. Can't recommend him enough. Devon who washed my hair was super sweet. Will definitely be back for a cut and color in the future. A great experience all around!!

I can’t express enough about how I just got the best color and cut I’ve ever had in my life! Jamal transformed my streaky highlights to a vibrant warm brown. Customer service is sincere and fun. There’s no crowd and no rush but appointments will be filled quickly if you wait too long as the phone was ringing for the next earliest appointment. Delicious baklava and tea always available. Favorite part: Doesn’t mind taking the creative steering wheel if you ask for help. Before and after pictures attached.

This salon is the best in the area!! I have pretty curly hair and it’s dark and Jamal was able to work with it and lighten it to the exact shade I wanted. He also gave me layers which look phenomenal. The other stylist Devin was so sweet and had the greatest energy. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend:)

Jamal is my stylist for last 5 years or so. Every time, he is consistent and professional. I believe there is no match to his work in RTP. And my entire family echo the same. He is the best in the business. Cheers and thanks to A1 Salon and Staff.

I did pink color last year and I did blue color today. Jamal is amazing. I loved both hair colors. I am so happy with my blue color and my haircut. He understood what I wanted and knows how to work with my hair type. My two boys have long hair and got haircuts with him last week and they are happy with what he did. Great hairstylist.
