Hope is so talented and truly listens to what you want. Her layers and face-framing work are beautiful, and she always gets it just right. We love her work and wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Brittany did a great job on my haircut. She was skillful, detailed and efficient. She even touched up my beard edges free of charge!

Every single time I come in, I ALWAYS leave beautiful.

H2O does not miss a beat and they're always hospitable the moment you walk in. They ask all clients, "Would you like something to drink?" and it's that small question that differentiate them from the rest. Also, everyone is just super friendly, good vibes all around.

I get my hair done with Hope and every single time I leave the salon I feel my very best! A professional hair stylist to the core, Hope has done my hair for the last 4ish years and is always on top of it. I believe that the quality of the haircut and treatments on top match the cost especially for the expertise and white-glove service I receive. Truly an incredible place with incredible stylists.

I have been getting my haircut by Thony during my four years studying at Duke! He was always friendly whenever I came to H2O salon. Although I will be leaving the States, I wanted to express my gratitude to him!

I had a wonderful experience here! Sonia was incredibly thorough and friendly throughout my appointment. She gave me long layers with beautiful face-framing pieces that turned out exactly how I wanted. The front desk staff was also super welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend Sonia and the team! Will come back for sure!

I had an amazing experience from start to finish! My stylist was incredibly professional, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable the entire appointment. He took the time to understand what I wanted and gave me the most beautiful layers. My hair turned out so much better than I could have ever anticipated. I absolutely love it!
The salon itself was inviting, and had a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend both my stylist and the salon to anyone looking for outstanding service and beautiful results. 10/10! Thanks Thony 💛

I have had appointments with two stylists here: Ruth and Brittany Angela. I had numerous short haircuts with Ruth and she is great at communicating with me and giving me the hairstyle I want.

Today I decided to try more of a low taper fade, and Ruth suggested I try Brittany Angela today. I had a great experience, and Ang did an excellent job showing pictures when she felt like we were talking past each other, and the haircut she gave me is very detail-oriented and well-executed. I opted for a beard trim as well, and she used a massager on my face while it was under a hot towel, and it was terrific (not something I had ever tried before).

Ruth and Ang are awesome and I look forward to my next cut!

This was my first time visiting the salon. I’m so blessed to been taken care of by Sonia. I’ve gone through YEARS of damaged hair because (also my fault) I always want to try something new without giving my hair the proper post care. Not only did she explain what procedures would best work for me but also recommended how I needed to start the healing process. Mind you this was all during my gray coverage appointment. I left with a beautiful blowout and thrilled by the excellent care and attention. Have no doubts this won’t be my first and last visit. Make sure to book with her!

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!!

Self-Care Sunday, but make it blonde maintenance. ✨

Your blonde deserves more than a quick wash-and-go. The NEW Kérastase Blond Absolu Blonde Guard is the leave-in step that helps keep blonde hair feeling soft, hydrated, and seriously shiny between appointments!

Think of it as a little extra protection for the hair that’s been lightened, toned, styled, and loved on. 💜

It helps smooth the fiber, reduce dullness, and bring back that fresh-from-the-salon glow we all want to hold onto.

Ask your H2O stylist about Blonde Guard at your next appointment 🫧

Necessities for a fresh blow-out

@redken
Quick Blowout - Smooths and adds shine. 🩷
Thermal Spray - 450F protection + High hold. 🩷
Big Blowout - High volume. 🩷

The right products make all the difference between a blowout that looks good when you leave the salon and one that still has bounce, shine, and hold the next day.

Ask your stylist which styling products are best for your hair type at your next appointment, or stop by H2O to stock up on your blowout essentials. ✨

Soft, sun-kissed dimension by @bellezaconmari that gives the hair that brightened-up, lived-in look without feeling overly highlighted or high maintenance.

Foilayage is perfect when you want the brightness of foils with the softness of balayage, especially through the ends and around the face where you want that summer glow to show up the most ✨

Ready for your warm-weather refresh? Book with our team today at H2O Hair Salon & Spa.
