I had such a wonderful experience with Skyler at Rock Paper Scissors in Durham. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. I especially appreciated that she didn’t force conversation. It felt calm, respectful, and very attuned to my energy, which made the appointment genuinely relaxing.

She took her time, paid attention to the details, and the result was exactly what I hoped for. I’ve gotten so many compliments since, and I honestly feel so good about my hair. Thank you, Skyler, for such a thoughtful and affirming experience. I’ll absolutely be back!

I went to Rock Paper Scissors about two months ago after calling ahead and being referred to KC, who was said to have experience with trims and fixes for growing out short hair. I explained that I only wanted the ends lightly dusted.

Instead, I left with a much shorter cut than requested. The back was very choppy and not properly blended, and despite being clear that I did not want thinning shears, the cut was done bluntly without proper technique.

They styled my hair before I left, but the next day it was obvious the cut itself was the problem. Since then, the grow-out has been uneven, and my hair has not looked right. It’s now so short and uneven that I have to wear wigs and ponytail clips, and I still can’t get all of my hair into a ponytail like I could before.

I would not recommend this salon, especially for anyone growing out short hair.

I am OBSESSED with my hair. First time at this salon and KC absolutely nailed it. I have not stopped touching my hair since I got home, and for the first time in years I am genuinely excited about it.

KC truly listened and was thoughtful, intentional, and precise. They gave me the exact haircut I have been asking for forever. After years of disappointing haircuts, I did not realize how unhappy I had been until now. I feel overwhelmed and overjoyed.

A part of me that has felt broken for years finally feels healed. KC is a gem.

Absolutely no issue with the stylists here. The problem is they clearly overbook themselves. I first tried to come to this salon 3yrs ago when they were in a different location and I made a mistake booking because their website automatically jumped to a future date. When I went in and realized my error, they said there was no way they could squeeze me in for even a bang trim while multiple stylists sat in chairs on their phones. Fine, it was my fault anyway. I decided to give them another try earlier this year. I arrive to my appt 10min early only to then wait 45min for my stylist to finish her last client. Fine, shit happens. Now, I make an appointment a week ahead of time before an interview and 2hrs before the appointment, they call and cancel it on me. The stylist is sick. No more appointments for the week available with anyone. I know people get sick but this establishment should have the flexibility to get you in with another person if you are willing to switch stylists when you have an appointment. It just seems like the management overbooks their workers. And just to add, God forbid you have curly hair because your appointment will cost quite a bit more. No idea when curly hair became a luxury but here we are.
Edit: yes, I was only charged for a regular cut because of the extended delay in my appointment time. And as I said, when a salon cancels you TWO hours before an appointment, they should do what they can to rectify it.

I had a wonderful experience with Mal on Saturday, May 9. I love my curly cut and will absolutely be back! Mal was easy to talk to and understood exactly what I needed to make my hair look its best.
