Best

Was recommended this hair salon by a couple friends and was able to get an appointment very soon after I called. I had Heather as a stylist and she was fantastic! She was super ...

Worst

The Funky Monkey is a really cute salon in a cozy building near Duke University. My stylist was really nice and the shampoo was delightful. My cut was just okay. She thinned it...

Great cut but customer service is weak 2/22/2008

I have gone to Redz for about 3 years and always have been satisfied with the service. Andrea, my stylist and the former owner, was great. After she left, I decided to go to Paul but I have been given the run around. He gave me a great cut the first time. For my second appt., he had to reschedule due to his need to go on vacation. I still decided to see him for my second cut and he still did a nice job but after a couple days, I realized that he really did not cut enough off. For $55, I figured I would call and ask if there was a chance he could take a little more off. I left a message with the receptionist, told her the scoop and asked her to ask Paul to call me but I never heard back from him. I figured he may not have gotten the message. I still planned to go to my 3rd appt. since my hair was extra long by that time, unmanageable and know how difficult it is to get in with a good stylist. Then I received a call the day of my 3rd appt. telling me that Paul had to cancel for a family emergency but he would call me back and reschedule as soon as he could. I never heard back . Why is it so hard to make a phone call and touch base with a customer? I realize his situation but I never heard back from him even after several weeks. I just wanted to let people know that Paul may be a great stylist but he doens't know great customer service. I will never go back. I am a mother of two young children and don't have time for this run-around. Apparently, he does not need the business. I cannot speak for the other stylists. Pros: Great innovative styles and colors Cons: Owner doesn't know good customer service more

best haircut experience ever! 2/22/2008

I needed to find a new hair stylist in the area. I tried out some other salon in the area, they gave me the worst haircuts ever (think female bowl-cut). A friend recommended Funky Monkey (formerly known as Redz). Sure enough, Paul saved the day. He fixed my hair and gave me one of the best haircuts I ever had. The salon is super trendy and clean, and the staff is really nice. The whole experience was the best I've ever had. I'm a customer for life. more

Great local hairdresser 1/4/2007

I have been going to Paul for over a year now- he is wonderful! I have recommended him to many of my friends and they have all been happy with his work! Pros: Great cuts! Cons: Need to call about 3 weeks in advance for an appt. more

Awesome Cuts That Last 8/8/2006

I got my hair cut by Kara about 4 months ago and it is still looking great! She is super knowledgeable about the latest and hippest hair styles and cuts. She is also very friendly and hip and you can tell by her own style that she knows exactly what every hip girl wants. My cousin saw my cut and liked it so much that she went there to have her hair cut and she is very pleased as well. We are customers for life. The only complaint that I have is that Kara is so busy and popular that it is hard to get an appointment sooner than 2 months ahead of time. So book you appointments ahead of time. Pros: Very Skilled, Totally Hip, Great Atmosphere Cons: They are so sought after that it can be hard to get an appointment if you want one on short notice, so book those appointments ahead of time more
