    Just had my hair cut by Lindsey - she did an amazing job! She was great with questions and concerns, and making me feel comfortable and welcome. The salon is warm, beautiful, and provides helpful little amenities I wouldn’t have expected, like ear plugs for those who are sensitive to sound. They also make sure to ask for pronouns. It truly feels like Prickly Pear has considered every aspect of the client experience! Absolutely will go back :)

    I went for the first time for a trim and deep conditioning treatment. I saw Lindsey and she was amazing. She was attentive to what I was needing and took her time. My hair is not the easiest to do or manage and she did great!

    I can’t recommend Prickly Pear more! I love all the staff. You are always greeted with a warm smile & hello when you walk in. The salon is always clean & beautiful. I’ve been going to Emily for almost 2 years and she has been amazing each time! My hair is always well taken care of & looks amazing. I really love the energy, vibe & atmosphere here. If you’re looking for a new salon in Cary/ Raleigh area, Prickly Pear is the place to go!
