Best Hair Salons In Charleston

“I’ve been going to Phillip for a year now. His service is impeccable- he really takes his time and has a deep sense of pride in his work. The haircuts he’s given me are the best I’ve ever received worldwide. I look forward to future haircuts as they keep me looking good and boosting my confidence along the way.

In true luxury Charleston fashion, Oliver Lux is the most sophisticated barbershop I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to. Who else greets you with Fuji water?! Forever impressed.“

“It was amazing!! Mrs Hanna followed the picture I showed her and it turned out ten times better“

“My appointments are always on time, and I never have to tell Amy what I want because she analyzes what needs to be done. I have never been disappointed in over 15 years. The shop is refreshing, clean and especially safe in these covid times.Service: Hairstyling“

“Paloosh is a great salon if you want to be pampered with an excellent cut. You'll feel as gorgeous as this salon looks after your 'do'. Everything from beautiful color to extensions to the latest styles. They can do it all with flair!
I've seen Kacy Goff here for 13 years and she is one of the best! She listens to what you want and gives you more than you imagined. Let Paloosh paloosh you!! You'll feel and look fabulous!“

“I'm absolutely blown away by Lauren Johnson's exceptional skill and artistry! She worked magic on my hair with a flawless base color and stunning freehand balayage highlights. But what truly sets Lauren apart is her kind, down-to-earth demeanor. She’s a genuine, compassionate, and amazing human being. If you're looking for a hairstylist who will not only transform your locks but also make you feel valued and at ease, look no further than Lauren Johnson. Highly, highly recommend! 5/5 stars. - Jacqueline“

“Would you drive 7 hours for an amazing hair style by KarlaJean?Well we do! We drive from Florida because there is know one on the east coast that can style thick hair like KJ! We have been to the top studios in NY City, Chicago, Paris and hands down KJ is the best! Don't waste your time and money with anyone else!“

“I saw Brie for the first time and she did an amazing job lightening and brightening my hair. I hadn't done my hair in ages so she had her work cut out for her. Gorgeous highlights and a fantastic cut a style. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend.“

“Tabitha Frank did a sensational job on my hair! I highly recommend her. Not only was her performance outstanding, she is so sweet. Hard to find this combination. This photo was taken three days after the service and after sleeping and doing nothing because I work long hours.“

“Laura's is great. She has an adorable little 5 chair salon. They are open Tuesday through Saturday. She does booth rentals for her other chairs. They make their own schedules and appointments.Laura is a very sweet island gal and does a really good job on my hair and other clients that I have seen in her chair. The location is in between the Coastal Crust Snackbar and The Community Convenience Store, at the Harborview and Forth Johnson traffic circle, on James Island. Tell Laura I sent you“

“Charles is a proper barber surgeon!

I was visiting from out of town and stranded while waiting for a car repair. Although Charles kindly let me know they work off appointments, he let me inside to cool off on this particularly hot day. He was then able to get me in the chair, squeezing me in between appointments.

Based on his reviews, I knew I was in for a great cut. He exceeded my expectations and more importantly, my girlfriends.

What I didn’t anticipate was a rich conversation full of wisdom, proverbs from Charles’ late mother, and much needed advice (which at the time was unknown just how much it was needed).

Truly looking forward to sitting in Charles’ chair next time I’m in town, or maybe his law office! The possibilities are limitless with him.“

“Madison was my artist and she is phenomenal! I highly recommend her! She's new and great!“

“My hair is so happy! I'm so happy! Karen G is a highly skilled hair stylist who knows how to talk to her clients as well as their hair. I have been in Charleston 5+ years and today got the best haircut and color advice I have ever received here. I have lots of fine, wavy hair -- and know that it takes time and technique to cut it to achieve shape and movement. Karen nailed it. She knew exactly what questions to ask me and was terrific in communicating how she wanted to proceed. With some magic blue shampoo and scissor sorcery, she transformed my mop. I have already made appointments for color and the next haircut.“

“We used Slate for my wedding day hair & make up. Holly and her team were amazing!! Holly is so fun and sweet. My hair & make up trial was a blast and wedding day went so well! We got ready at the salon which was nice and big to be able to have brunch and beverages. I absolutely loved all of my girls hair & makeup and loved loved loved mine! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Highly recommend! Thank you Holly and the Slate Salon team! :)“

“Excellent experience, Joey and Molly are magicians and very talented at their craft. For the best haircuts in Charleston, look no further than Cosmotique.

There is a wonderful selection of goods as well if you're looking for that unique and special gift! Thank you Molly, Joey and Logan!“

“Had a wonderful experience with Taylor at the View Salon & Spa on Saturday June 21, 2025. Love my hair so much. I cried when she was done.“

“I've been getting my haircut by the same person for a couple years now, and just recently she moved to Florida. I searched on the Vagaro app for a stylist near my office who did cuts for men, and found The Parlour. It's right off of East Bay on Exchange St and easy to get to, but parking can be a bit tricky based on the time of day, as is anything downtown. No worries though because I found a metered spot right in front of The Tavern. The Parlour is located upstairs in Suite 401. They used to be in 404 but someone moved out and they took advantage of the great space. I really love this location. Old building. Old brick walls. Exposed beams in the ceiling. Great views and lots of sunlight. Jennifer was my stylist by appointment and she was ready for me when I arrived. She's super friendly and welcoming. They specialize in women's hair, but are more than capable of men's haircuts. Her attention to detail was exceptional. I'm really easy when it comes to haircuts. Just make it look good, and if you think something should look one way because of what my hair wants to do, go for it. The haircut came with a wash & rinse plus styling. For the price, I wasn't expecting the other services, but am so happy to have had that all done in one visit. I was in and out in 30 minutes and will definitely be back again next month.“

“Barbara is an exceptional stylist!! She has been my stylist for a year and I am so grateful I found her. I was terrified when I had to change stylists after having used the same person for 20 years but Barbara made me feel at ease right away. She has an amazing ability to pick the best hair style for your face and personality. She has done an exceptional job at blending colors and adding texture to my hair. She also is great at recommending safe organic hair products that work wonderfully. I would absolutely recommend Barbara to anyone looking for an amazing stylist.“

“Had a wonderful experience here. Katelyn did an amazing job with my hair. I cut a lot off and was nervous how it would turn out but she was very patient and really took her time to make it look great.“

“Always good experience. He is the first stylist that I like my hair when I leave and don’t have to fix it.“

“Amber turned my brown/silver into a blonde that looks natural and elegant. She is the best I know at color and, although I travel around the U.S. for my job and have tried many with great reviews, I will only use Amber. The new cut we tried at my last visit? I just shake my head in the morning and it falls perfectly. I finally found the cut and color that I have always been searching for.“
