They took me as a walk in for a blow out. The girl that did it and the front desk staff were super nice and accommodating. Prices are reasonable. The floors and work stations at the blow bar were kinda dirty but not totally unexpected. Would return. Read Less

LOVE LOVE LOVEI usually went to Nick so since he moved I was really scared to try someone new. Kara did everything I asked and I'm in love with my balayage. Will definitely be a regular customer for her. I come here for waxes too and would recommend Tiffany for a Brazilian or other wax types. Read Less

Amazing! The staff are so friendly and welcoming, always asking if you need anything and making you feel welcome. They did an AMAZING job with my color and they are great and quick at keratin too. Definitely will keep going back as they always do such a great job. Read Less

I am a future soldier who needed a haircut today. My hair is fairly long and I wanted a low-maintanence pixie cut and all one color for basic. I have damaged hair and didn't want all that fuss during boot camp so cutting my hair seemed sensible. After calling they agreed to see me as I stated I had literally no time (I am being taken to the Hilton tomorrow at 1 to check in and ship off on first thing Tuesday). My phone was dead and my boyfriend poked his head in to see how long this would take. Mind you, my boyfriend is black, and I am Pacific Islander. They kept questioning me about my boyfriend, saying I was "very upset" and then asked me (Linda, I think is her name) if I truly am okay and if there is something going on. They went on to wash and blow dry my hair and next thing I know, there was a cop in the salon because they called saying they were concerned. I have done nothing wrong but ask for a pixie cut that was approved and thought about for a while but instead they refused and said I can only get a trim and called the cops on me. I had done nothing wrong and had never had a run-in with the police and that was very upsetting. I had been ill for a few weeks so I thought I finally am receiving the cut I have been wanting. It was humiliating for a salon to be so racist to call the police only because we are an interracial couple. After being sick and calling salons all day to get my hair done and not being able to get the cut I want, is horrible service. There was no need for the police to be called. If you are a person of color, don't go to this salon. They are obviously racist. They will question everything and say it's strange and call the police even when everything is fine. If you are joining the military, don't go to this salon since they want to be condescending and think they know so much about military hair. Beware, you might get the cops called on you and/or an excuse why they can't cut your hair! 140 Salon, you guys had no right to do what you did and you guys should be ashamed! P.S. I wonder what the response from the owner will be like.... Read Less

I have been waiting to write this review because I was hoping some of my many problems would be resolved. I went to the Southpoint location three weeks ago, which is dingy and not what you want from a salon experience. I needed a root touch up for my root shadow and balayage just to blen my highlights in. The stylist told me on repeated occasions that she didn’t know how to use their color line, which was proven by the 5 times she tried to dye my roots with no success. Additionally, she turned my blonde hair grey/purple. After 3.5 hours, I have purple hair and my roots were still not done. She then proceeded to charge me $170 despite stating that she knew it wasn’t right. She also talked about running her ex-husband over with her car while she was doing my hair. She had to wash my hair 5 times in total, which left my hair dry and damaged. I left the salon in tears (first time ever at any salon) and called the manager at the other location. She offered for me to come to the other location to have my hair fixed. Despite my frustration because I had already spent so much time there, I decided to go and let them fix it. Laurie fixed my hair for me, and she was the only positive part of this experience. The owner, who doesn’t even have a cosmetology license, told me it wouldn’t take long to fix my hair, but, as expected, Laurie said first thing that it would take a while. The owner also tried to tell me my hair wouldn’t be damaged after all this, but obviously it was. I couldn’t wash my hair for 6 days after this because it was so dry. Two hours later, my hair was fixed, but I called the owner back to express that I wanted a portion of my money back considering the whole ordeal took 7 hours out of my Friday. To top it off, she called me at 7 on a Sunday night to discuss a refund, and when I called her back on Monday I left a message but never heard back from her. Don’t take your business here. Read Less

WOW. I first went to the dry bar for an eyebrow wax in October. At first I thought ~$15 for a wax job was insane. But Tiffany was amazing and she did a fantastic job!! After a month, I still didn't need another visit (had to pluck a few at home, but that's it). I've gone back 2 times since and absolutely love it!!! Every time I go, I request Tiffany. She's fantastic at her job and I truly love talking to her. Worth the wait and money!! Read Less

Miranda is my go to for blowouts and does an absolutely incredible job every time. She did my hair for every formal, event, and graduation weekend when I attended Duke.  I always got compliments on my hair and make a point to visit and get my hair done by her every time I am back in town.  I cannot recommend her enough!

So thrilled to have found this wonderful salon on my short trip here to Durham. I walked in without an appointment and was accommodated within half an hour. The staff were friendly and my stylist Amy who recently moved from CT was extremely knowledgeable about different hair types and easily corrected some residual product left from a less than amazing appointment at another salon yesterday. My hair looks and smells fabulous like it should after a treatment and Amy made the entire experience pleasant! I'll definitely return next time I'm in the area. Read Less

I just have to say that I am SO impressed with 140 Salon. I have had two great experiences, my most recent one being a blow out on my wedding day. Skylar did such a great job and she's so kind. I went for a bold red look and it turned out gorgeous. I am a permanent client. Thanks again for helping make my special day perfect. Edit: just added some pics for reference Read Less

I am so happy this salon uses products (shampoo, conditioner and spray etc) that are free of parabens, sulfates, gluten and sodium chloride! Woo! For this I already want to give them 5 star.The vibe is super friendly here!!! Linda did my hair, she's so sweet and talented. Britney did my lashes. They also do waxing I didn't get to do it because ran out of time. They also serve organic green tea woo! Read Less

Went here a couple of years ago for balayage and ended up with horrible striped hair which started at the root -- not balayage at all. My hair was incredibly long and healthy when I walked in the door but dry and damaged when I walked out. I was mortified. Two years later I decided to give them another shot. Different (new) stylist and for just a cut. I asked to have several inches cut off for a shoulder length/one length modern long bob. Instead, I ended up with a short layered 1985 cut. Again, I'm mortified! All I can do is wait to let it grow out. It's too short for even a ponytail. To make matters worse, my stylist was openly conservative -- I'm not. The more she complained about people of different backgrounds and lifestyles, the shorter my hair got. NEVER AGAIN!!!! Read Less

Overall experience was sub-par. The highlights job was mediocre at best - it turned into more of a complete dye. The stylist tried to adjust the coloring with toner, but ended up over-correcting. She also put product in my hair without asking. Would have been ok with the final result, except the so-called "color consult" and a bunch of additional "services" drove the price past what I thought I had signed up for (I only asked for the basic highlight/lowlight). Way too expensive for the quality of work. Will not be returning. Read Less

It is so difficult to get a great stylist that understands my hair because I have a lot of thick, curly hair. Laurie was just amazing. She did an amazing job talking me through the best plan of action to dye my hair. Other stylists have left my hair borderline orange, but I finally got the perfect ash color! Also, the blowout is amazing! She takes the time to make sure that my hair is styled beautifully. I have been to her twice now and continues to impress me every time. Everyone is also so nice when I walk into the salon. They will offer you drinks. Calling them for appointments is also very quick and easy. Definitely my go-to salon. Read Less

Great service, professional advice, willing to help me think through the best style and cut. Sonia gave me great advice and the color treatment is fantastic! I knew o wanted a new cut and she helped me decide what was the best. Also they were Abel to get me quick as a new customer! Read Less

Best experience I've had at a salon. I desperately needed a trim, and they were so accommodating. They told me I could walk in, and within 15 minutes I was in a chair with Sarah. I really enjoyed engaging with her--what a kind and genuine person. She took her time with my hair and I couldn't have been happier with the final outcome. I also asked her if she had advice on where I could get my brows done. She recommended Tiffany, who also managed to fit me in.I have been getting my brows threaded for many years now, so I was a little bit tentative about having them waxed, but Tiffany is a true professional, and I can honestly say they've never looked better. She also showed me where to pluck my brows and how they should be shaped.The trip to 140 Salon genuinely made my day and best of all, it's so affordable! With my Duke student discount I was able to get my brows done AND my hair cut for only 60 dollars!! Thank you so much Salon 140. If you go definitely ask for Sarah and Tiffany! Read Less

My Experience was a Forever Memory. I was completely astonished of how well I was treated. Most businesses act as if there clients should only been seen as a number. But for me I was treated as a real person with respect and kindness which in my opinion has forever earned my business as a professional salon. Kristin Bridge was absoultely amazing! She listened to my horror stories of past stylists and put calm to my fear of having it happen again. I watched her as she whimsically tufted my hair back and forth as if it was second nature; All the while holding a deep conversation about things relevant to me and my life along with hers. I know she will be the stylist I forever goto and i recommend her highly! Thank you again for your time and my experience of receiving a professional hair color makeover from a talented stylist.

It's taken me a year of living here, but I finally found a salon and hairdresser I like!Skyler is awesome--she did exactly what I asked for and styled my hair perfectly. Because let's be real, 50% of the reason people get their haircut is for the blowout, amIright? Another perk of this place is that they're open early, so you can get your 'do done before work.The cut cost $50, which I felt was more than fair for such a good cut. So happy to have found this spot and it'll definitely be my regular place from now on. Read Less

I had my hair cut by Dani yesterday and it is the best haircut I've ever had. My hair is really thick and long, and I like lots of layers so my hair still has length but doesn't feel so thick. Usually at other salons I've tried in the past, this request gets ignored or misinterpreted and I end up with a haircut I don't like or want. Dani was awesome and took time to go over what I wanted and to learn how I usually style my hair (I don't, I let it air dry) before the whole hair cutting process. I now have a wonderful, low maintenance hair cut that looks AMAZING now and will look amazing when it grows more.The salon itself was wonderful too. It was very inviting, I was helped right away, and it was a really relaxing space. Read Less

LAURIE CUTLER Busy and friendly salon with awesome talent and customer service.Laurie is my stylist and she is amazing! Always on time, service is timely, results are beautiful every time!!! She is well-trained in cutting, color, extensions... She can do it all! Read Less

I had my first blow out ever this past Saturday with a trainee, Emily. Emily was very sweet but I was pretty disappointed. I have never had one before and I envisioned coming out with very voluminous hair and beach waves that I requested; the beachcomber blow out. I needed one for a photo shoot and was so excited that my hair would look different then when I did it. NOPE. $35 later plus tip, I could have done it better. Not to mention, the "beach waves" she did put in, fell out during the photo shoot.The owner was super sweet and offered me drinks while sitting in the chair but the experience other than that was not worth the money. I feel like with blow outs you are paying for the experience and to be pampered. Read Less

I visited this salon for the first time and I love love love the atmosphere. I had a little issue but the owner jumped right in and resolved it making me a happy customer again. Most of the employees are awesome, very friendly and talented. I might not recommend them for my texture hair but they can do everything else for me like cut, colour, and products. Love the shop, definitely recommend if you are looking for first class service. Read Less

When the receptionist asked if I was satisfied with my service, I had to say yes, because I wasn't going to let the stylist try to correct her awful work, and I didn't have time. Better not to go shorter... I will just have to grow this out and have someone else fix it. I have very fine, straight hair that shows "cut marks" easily, but competent, professionally trained stylists should be able to handle it. Not here. I left with a horribly choppy, uneven cut, with weird, obvious scissor marks and random long strands she simply missed. I had asked for something extremely simple: a short trim and a few more layers. But I honestly could have done a better job myself. I'm so bummed. This was after waiting fifteen minutes to be seen on a slow day. Two stars only for the nice ambiance and friendly receptionist. I won't be going back. Read Less

I had close to 11 inches cut off my hair by Kaylie and it was the absolute best haircut I've ever had! I just showed her a picture and she made mine look even better! Definitely recommend this salon and especially her! Great experience overall! Read Less

Had a blowout here with Skylar before a rehearsal dinner/wedding. It was a great experience, very relaxing and I left feeling like a million bucks. My hair held it's style all night and I got tons of compliments. I look forward to going back sometime soon - and I recommend Skylar if you're looking for a great stylist! Read Less

Lauren is the best. She knows how to work my hair like no other hair stylist I've ever had.I go in feeling looking like something the cat dragged in and come out feeling great. Nothing like a great haircut. Read Less

Charlotte at the Erwin Street Location is fabulous!  I flew in for a few meetings and was able to get in for a blowout with her.  Quite possibly the best blowout I've had.  I love the big, bouncy curls and volume you get from a real roller brush blow out.  Being new, she asked me what type of blowout I expected (basically like you're getting ready to walk a Victoria Secret runway) and she nailed it.  And, she's incredibly sweet.  Thanks!

The owner is my sister and she does not charge her family for haircuts, styles and highlights. All the stylist I've ever been to there has always had my approval in mind. They have always went out of their way to make sure I leave happy with my hair, Mary has the best stylist at 140 in all of North Carolina in my opinion, thank all of you that has cut. Styled, and/or highlighted my hair and that has had anything to do with my hair!!! I will not go anywhere else. Not even to my other sisters salon, only because at 140 they have always been so nice and respectful, other place not so much! And I agree Heather and Ashleigh is awesome!!! Read Less

They told me they could take me for a 5pm appointment, I told them I'd be walking over since I don't have a car. They call me at 4:55 cancelling my reservation at 5 because they made a mistake, after I had already walked all the way over. When I Finally got my haircut an hour and a half later, the hair cutter was very rude. They also charged me $5 above what they said it would cost. Never coming back. Read Less

Came in on a Sunday and booked a last minute appointment retone with Brooke. The receptionist was very nice upon walking in but the stylist was unprofessional. Started the appointment late and had me at the wash bowl for ten minutes while she chatted and gossiped about a few feet away from me with another stylist. The toner was only on for less then 5 minutes and proceeded to blow dry me very harshly and got my whole face wet in the process. NEVER COMING BACK. Read Less

140 Salon did the hair and makeup for me and my bridal party for my wedding and they did an amazing job! They were prompt, flexible, responsive to our ideas and the hair and makeup styling was just beautiful. I want to give a special shoutout to Lauren who did my hair for my wedding day. I have A LOT of hair and it can be difficult to style, but Lauren did an amazing job and created the most gorgeous updo. I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. Thank you Lauren and everyone at 140! Read Less

I had so much fun at 140salon! I had a blowout, eyebrow wax and makeup application. It was so fun getting a mini makeover! The girls that work there are super duper sweet. The owner was also there and was very interested in making sure my experience was good. I left my jacket there and never went back to get it! Oops! Read Less

Very poor service.  Service provider complained about owner constantly, and despite the fact that the things she was saying sounded horrible, I didn't really want to hear about it.  When I mentioned it to the front desk and asked to speak to a manager she told me the owner wasn't in but she would pass along my information so she could contact me. Needless to say, the owner never called.My hair was also subpar.  The haircut was uneven.  The blowout was so-so. Read Less

After three bad experiences at this salon (I kept thinking that things would get better and I've never liked a stylist as much as I've liked the one I saw at 140), it felt like it was time to write a review. I will never go back and would not recommend this salon to anyone. :: I had an appointment for a haircut, but decided that I also wanted to get my eyebrows done so I called the salon day-of to see if they could work it in (no expectations since I was calling with very little notice). The girl I spoke with said that it was absolutely doable, so I asked if it would be better for me to schedule the brow appointment before or after my haircut. She replied, "Um, you don't need an appointment for that, someone will be here to do it." So I said, "okay, I'll just stay later after my hair appointment." (Wanted to make sure I let her know of my plan since she insisted I didn't need an appointment for my brows, which I thought was weird.)Long story short (and needless to say if you've ever been to a salon), after my haircut, no one was available to do my brows...I'm guessing because the receptionist wouldn't let me make an appointment. :: I have to leave work an hour early to work with my stylist's schedule...she only works a few days a week and her last appointment is at 5 (that's fine because I really like her). However, at a scheduled, confirmed appointment this February, I called the salon at 4:40 to let them know that I might be about 5 minutes late to my appointment with my stylist (gave them her name and my name). They said no worries and hung up. I pulled into the salon right at 5 and received a call from them when I was sitting in the parking lot. They said, "(stylist's name) had an emergency and isn't here today." I replied, "Okay, I'm sitting in the parking lot, no one called me to tell me this, and I called you 20 minutes ago as a courtesy to let you know that I might be running late, and no one told me then." The receptionist was extremely rude, defensive and didn't even acknowledge that they had really screwed up...she just said, "Well I'm sorry. Would you like to schedule another appointment?" I did not. After this snafu, I called back and asked to speak with a manager (she said that she was getting ready to call me, and I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, but I called first). She apologized and was much less defensive than the receptionist. However, she did tell me that my stylist had been gone on that emergency for 3 days at that point (so not only was it not a day-of my appointment emergency, but someone at the salon had 3 days to call me and no one did). The manager offered to reschedule my appointment with my stylist and said that my next haircut would be on them. This was the right thing to do, so I rescheduled and let go of my previous bad experiences. :: My most recent appointment was this week. I again left work an hour early and drove to the salon. When I got there and told the receptionist that I had an appointment with my stylist, they looked at me like I was crazy and said, "She's not at this salon anymore...she works at our new building. Did someone not call to tell you?" Would I be at this salon if someone had called to tell me? Of course no one did. At this point I'm very fed up, but willing to give it one more try (again, I've never liked a stylist so much and none of this so far had been her fault). I drive to the other salon that is 10 minutes away. When I get there, the receptionists there tell me that my stylist is running late and got stuck in traffic but will be there shortly. I wait for 20 minutes (so it's now about 5:30 and my appointment was at 5 and I left work an hour early) and decide to leave because my stylist still wasn't there. I'm not sure how late she was because I left after 20 minutes, but the entire experience was unacceptable. No call from a manager this time and I didn't bother to call them again. I'm done.

Once again, I found myself out of town with no blow dryer. (The last time this happened, my visit to a blow dry bar was terrible.) I found this place on yelp and was thrilled to see some decent reviews so called to make an appointment.Sharing that I needed to get in ASAP, the salon was able to get me in that morning. Even better, they called back and got me in even sooner due to a cancellation. Great customer service!The young lady (sorry...can't recall her name) did a fantastic job and my hair felt so amazing afterwards and was shiny, shiny, shiny! Thanks for saving the day! Read Less

I wasn't going to write a review because I just wanted to be done with this place and never go back. However, 4 weeks later after wearing a pony tail everyday, I sit in another salon for a lengthy and expensive color correction process. When I called Salon 140 back a few days after the initial process, they let me know their policy is to have the stylist who did it fix it. I understand that policy, but why would I want someone to fix my hair who ruined it? I asked for balyage and a lob. I got racing stripes/chunky highlights and a choppy little girl cut. $500+ later and my hair is PERFECT. $180 for a botched job and $323 for a fix. Read Less
