Sam works magic!

by professionalgirl101 at Citysearch

i'm an uptown professional changing hair stylists after eight years! All I can say is Wow. Sam quickly identified hair needs, discussed color, talked about my current approach to hair care. Came out with color that exceeded expecations, and an upgraded style, close to my current one but enhanced face better. Took me from mousey to looking more current and updated. Reasonable prices! Sam's 26 years experience was obvious and appreciated. Recommend everyone go and ask for Sam.

• Pros: professional hair colorist, friendly

Mel is "Perfection"

by Pepper Wiginton at Citysearch

I moved to Charlotte about two years ago. The greatest angst I had with my move was the process of finding a new hair stylist. My “hair” directly affects my moods and my level of self confidence about myself. I admit that I have a very personal relationship with my hair…I never feel well groomed if I’ve had a bad haircut. My search to find a new stylist in Charlotte became a real nightmare for me. Before coming to MeI, I had used two different stylists and in both cases, it was a disaster.

The day I walked into Mel’s salon, I had a bad haircut that aged me by 10 years and a color that was not complementary to my skin tone. I am so thankful I found Mel….she is my ideal of “perfection”. From my first visit, Mel carefully listened and made recommendations that made sense to me. I left the salon, looking better than I had in two years. She has tamed my uncontrollable hair, including my unruly cowlicks and makes me feel wonderful. Mel is a smart, extremely professional stylist who cares deeply about her client’s satisfaction. Mel has always exceeded my expectations. I honestly cannot pay her enough compliments to adequately reflect how good my hair now looks. I am constantly having strangers walk up to me just to complement my cut and color. What more could you ask for?? Mel is my hero. Everyone at this salon goes out of their way to give you a positive experience. It’s the perfect salon with perfect stylist. Thank you so much Mel for being my salvation!!!

• Pros: "Perfect salon" and "Perfect Hair Stylist !!!
• Cons: Absolutely None........

Great Salon Atmoshpere

by LisaB2009 at Citysearch

I am new in the area, originally from California. I have been obsessed with finding a hairstylist that will meet all of my needs (I will admit Im high maintenance). I have been here for a year, and put through hell with finding a salon and stylist that does good hair. I didn't think it would be this difficult. I was referred to Mel at haircolorxperts by a girl who I work with. I showed up and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. Mel greeted me and I was extremely impressed off the bat. She listened to me when I got in her chair and tamed the butterflies in my stomach. She was quick but accurate. The massage I received in the shampoo sink was amazing, it put me asleep! The end result was beautiful and I couldn't have been any more happier to the point of crying in her chair. I will definitely be back every four weeks to maintain my high maintenance look. Thanks Mel, your the best!!!

• Pros: Nice cold beer
• Cons: Parking during lunch

Thanks Jen

by aNN at Citysearch

Jen was very attentive and knowledgeable. I went in with a few photos of what I wanted done and she took te tme to ask me what I liked about those particular styles. The cut I chose required a lot of styling to get the look in the photo, but this morning my hair looked great with a minimum of styling (just drying). Thanks a bunch, I'll be back. sorry about the user name, I typed it in as a joke!

• Pros:  interested stylist and fantastic cut
• Cons: the candy was icky

Worst Haircut Ever

by beckys15 at Citysearch

I read all of the wonderful reviews about Mel at Haircolorexperts and was really excited when I made an appointment and she was able to do my hair. Unfortunately, I suspect she may have written these reviews herself as I found out she knows nothing about cutting hair. I ended up going to a different salon the next day and they thought I had gone to a Supercuts! In all I ended up having to cut off over 6 inches of hair to try and repair the damage from Mel and am still looking at weird layers that will just need to grow out. Mel does not know how to cut hair and should have her license taken away.

• Pros: none
• Cons: Inexperienced Hair Stylists

faboulous color

by lindalocke2 at Citysearch

We looked online to find a new salon to color my daughters hair and found hair xperts in Dilworth. We were matched up with Ambra who did a fantastic job as it had been months since my duaghters hair had been done and she brought her hair back to life.We have been back for the second appt and it was just as good as the first.....excellent hair color by Ambra. She told us after this second appt that she was moving up to Birkdale Village. We already have scheduled our next appt with her in Sept and will be driving to Birkdale.

Great Color and Cut

by RachS at Citysearch

I just moved to Charlotte and needed a new hair place. Haircolorxperts (Dilworth) came highly rated based on many reviews. My appointment with Mel was for hair color and cut (the cut is complimentary on certain days if you're a newbie). I was going blonder and she chose the color perfectly. She also showed me color swaps to get a better idea about what I was looking for. The cut is also exactly how I wanted it - shapely and easy to style. She even gave some good styling tips about how to change my hair style (wearing it curly, straight, etc). Overall, I was thoroughly impressed and will definitely be heading back.

• Pros: Great color and cut, Great service

Great haircut for great value

I recently had my hair cut by Ambra and it's the best haircut i've ever had. She asked a lot of questions, listened, and did the little things. I plan to go back every month. Plus, the price is extremely reasonable!

• Pros: They ask questions & listen
• Cons: none

Great Hair Salon!!

by clmorgan at Citysearch

Having my hair highlighted and cut by Ambra was a fantastic experience!! I felt pampered; Ambra took her time in helping me decide on a haircolor and cut. Haircolorxperts in Dilworth is a great salon: I felt relaxed by staff who are truly friendly, knowledgable, and hospitable! You really care about doing a good job and about making sure the client is happy. I'll certainly be back!!!

Thank you,

Cindi Nichols

Mel is Amazing!

by KacieC at Citysearch

This will be the 5th time I have gone to Mel. She is amazing. She is the one hair dresser i have found in Charlotte that I can tell exactly what I want and she does it. One of my friends recommended her and now 4 of us all go to her. Everyone in the salon is super nice and very helpful. I would recommend anyone to go to the Dilworth location! :)
