Rated 4.8 on Google from 282 reviews. Here are a few, in their own words.
This is the best hair salon in North Raleigh! Everyone is very knowledgeable and, most importantly, honest about what’s best for your hair. They take the time to recommend the right treatments instead of just trying to sell you something. I always feel like I can trust their advice and know my hair is in good hands. Highly recommend!
I went to get a balayage and two stylists worked on me. Melinda and the other stylist were fantastic! So patient and they helped walk me through the whole process. It took 10 hours but my dark hair has never gotten to be this light before and looks better than I could have imagined it! So thankful for the wonderful ladies here. Go get your hair done by them, it’s worth it!
Just got my perm done by Amy and I love it!!! She took the time to care for my hair and did exactly what I was looking for. I had gotten perms before that did not take and she exceeded my expectations. Very thankful to have found this place and for Amy.
Sweet T Salon is fantastic. So glad I found this place. Honestly best haircut I’ve had in years. As a guy with long hair it’s not easy out here. Amy was phenomenal and knew exactly what to do! This is now my go to place. 10 stars
Nancy did an amazing job on not just my hair but the overall experience! I hadn’t been to a hair salon in a while and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I instantly felt welcomed and comfortable here! I have very long hair, and Nancy took her time detangling the knots instead of forcing a brush through it and breaking my hair. She checked that I was okay with the amount she was taking off and made sure I liked how it turned out at the end. I think I finally found my home hair salon, will definitely be returning!
Carly did a wonderful job with my long shag! She was very gentle with my hair and made me feel at home with her chill vibes :)
I had my first appointment with Amy and she gave me an amazing cut which is very important for my very thin hair. The atmosphere at the salon is very welcoming and I have found my salon! So worth the half hour drive to get there. Thank you, Amy! My hair looks great because of you!
Great experience! Rosa was attentive and thorough. She did an excellent job and dried my hair exactly as I like it/want to feel after a cut!
Carly did a great job with the balayage on my hair. I have really long hair and Carly was very patient with me and understanding. I will definitely come back for my hair care needs. Staff was really friendly and salon was clean. Not to mention price was good too!
I visited this salon for the very first time yesterday and they did not disappoint! I am so pleased with the service and results that I received. My hair has not looked this good in many years. I have always had thin hair but in recent years it has gotten much thinner to the point of being able to see my scalp. Suzi was excellent and extremely helpful. She gave me a cut that I absolutely love and helped me with options to help keep my hair healthy and looking fuller. Everyone in the salon was very warm and welcoming. The salon itself appeared well organized and very neat & tidy.
This was my first time visiting, and Nancy did an amazing job with my hair! She was super friendly, listened to what I wanted, and made sure I was happy with the result. My hair looks great. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a great haircut!
Amy is amazing! She gave me a great curly cut, definitely recommend her if you have curly hair and want someone who is experienced with curls. Thanks Amy!
