I was specifically looking for an LGBTQIA+ salon in Durham and H2O popped up right away. My first haircut was a transformational cut and I felt so supported throughout (I cried a bit during..) my next cut (with a different stylist) was also a great experience and great cut! I highly recommend!!

I got married a few weeks back and my hair stylist caught Covid less then a week before the wedding. I called h2o and they made room for me. Adine did my hair quickly and it looked great.
Obsessed with this GelX full set ✨💙
That cat-eye shimmer is giving galaxy chrome with the most elegant finish.
At H2O Hair Salon & Spa, we love offering services that feel as good as they look and GelX has quickly become a guest favorite.
Why so many of our Durham guests choose GelX over acrylics:
💎 Lighter feel. Thinner and more natural on the nails
💎 No harsh odor. A more pleasant service experience
💎 Flexible + comfortable. Moves more like your real nail
💎 Clean, seamless finish. Perfect for trendy shapes and cat-eye effects
💎 Healthier removal. Soaked off properly instead of heavy drilling
If you want a glossy, long-lasting set with that modern luxury look, GelX is the move.
Book your GelX appointment online at www.H2OHairSalonAndSpa.com 💅🏼
Or call our front desk and we’ll get you scheduled.

Skin Care Tip: Winter Exfoliation + Hydration ❄️💧
Winter air can leave your skin feeling dry, flaky, and tight — but the fix is simple:
✨ Exfoliate gently, then hydrate immediately.
✔️ Exfoliate only 1–2 times per week to remove dead skin
✔️ Follow right away with a hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid)
✔️ Lock it in with a rich moisturizer (ceramides are best for winter)
💡 Pro tip: Exfoliating without moisturizing afterward can actually make dryness worse.
Your winter glow starts with the right balance of care ✨

Bright, bold, and made to turn heads ✨
This bright blonde balayage by @pacheco.thony is all about that seamless lift & perfect blend. Lighter through the ends, softly diffused at the root, and finished with a tone that keeps it fresh instead of brassy.
We love balayage because it gives you brightness without the harsh grow-out line. It’s dimensional, low-maintenance, and customizable depending on how blonde you want to be 🌟
Thinking about going lighter? Let’s talk about it. Book your at H2O Hair Salon & Spa in Durham and let’s create your version of blonde.

Edgy. Lived-in. Sharp ✨🗡️
Fernanda took this shape in with a razor and completely changed the energy of the cut! Razor cutting isn’t about blunt lines or heaviness. It’s about softness, separation, and that perfectly undone texture that moves when you move. Every piece has intention, but nothing feels stiff or overdone.
We love razor cuts because they create:
✂️ effortless movement
✂️ natural texture without bulk
✂️ that cool, slightly messy finish that still feels polished
✂️ shape that grows out beautifully
It’s the kind of haircut that looks just as good styled as it does air-dried. Easy. Edgy. Modern.
If you’re ready for something lighter, more playful, and full of personality, book with us today at H2O Hair Salon & Spa in Durham, NC.

A Truly Luxurious Self-Care Sunday ✨
With Kérastase Chronologiste, we’re reviving tired hair from the inside out using a powerful blend of Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, and Abyssine to restore strength, softness, and shine. Finished with Elixir Ultime L’Huile Originale, infused with French Camellia, to smooth, protect, and leave hair glowing without weight.
This is more than a treatment. It’s a reset for dry, stressed, or dull hair and a routine that actually supports long-term hair health.
