An Excellent Choice...

I took a chance and strayed away from my regular salon (Cameron Village) and was pleasantly surprised by the staff at Lather. I received perfect service from Stylist Lauren Lawson. She was friendly, confident, and most importantly - she gave me a terrific hair cut. This was not a stuffy salon like many others. It was staffed by cordial professionals who seem to care about quality and providing excellent customer service. I highly recommend a visit here. You won't be disappointed!

• Pros: Terrific Hair Cut along with Top Tier Customer Service
• Cons: Not Open on Sundays (It really is the only con!)

Exceeded my expectations!

I was in need of a new stylist - someone that could offer advice for what would look good on me, and a place closer to home. I did a lot of searching throughout Raleigh, and found lots of other salon websites. None were very helpful, and most looked pretty stuffy. Lather's website was so welcoming and cheery, and it really helped to read the bios of the stylists and see who might fit me best. I also loved the facebook page - the salon and customer photos, all the information, the constant deals they offer, the alerts for open appointments, and all the fun things they're always doing were great to see... everything from Latherwear to PinkFest to the Hair for Oil Spills donations.

It sealed the deal when I called to make an appointment. Skylar (sp?) was so nice as she recommended Whitney for my curly hair and booked me in an open appointment. She has also been the one to book my other 2 appointments, as well as check me out afterwards each time, and is always very nice.

Whitney has been great each of the 3 times I've gone so far. She always listens to me and gives great advice and answers to my many questions. She always makes me feel comfortable and at ease, and she does a wonderful job at making me feel beautiful and loving my hair again. She gives a great blowout after the cut, and even more importantly, I continue to enjoy my hair once I get home and style it myself as well, which is a huge deal. I had been flat-ironing my hair for years, frying it and trying to deter the curls. But I've got a great cut now, thanks to Whitney, and I wear it naturally curly 95% of the time - it is so much healthier, and I can honestly say that I finally enjoy my curly hair. And I am so appreciative for that. She also recommended some great products, which have been such a help in restoring my hair - but the products have never been pushed onto me, which I'm also very appreciative of.

I got the opportunity to meet Jessica last time as well, when she was standing at the front in between appointments. She is super nice, and was very glad that I enjoyed the website and facebook page, when I told her how helpful it all was. She's a great business owner, and it shows in the salon and everything she's got going on. The atmosphere is very open and relaxed, while also modern and fun. They keep up with all the trends, while remaining classic with great customer service, and they offer great tutorials and advice on the website and in person. And on top of it all, the prices are fantastic for the wonderful service and quality of cuts. The combination is truly what attracted me here - they are down-to-earth and obviously interested in making everybody happy, no matter what service you come in for. This is the most I've ever enjoyed any hair salon, and I'm elated that I found Lather. They've been open about a year now, and I'm so glad they're here. I felt welcome from the moment I walked in for my first appointment, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it since then.

Jessica and the other ladies, I hope you read this and know that you've got a very happy , loyal customer! Thank you!!

• Pros: Nice ladies, attentive, comfortable, great location
