I adore Pin Up and have been coming here for 5yrs. I signed up for their Blow Out Membership in 11/24 and I love it so much. You get 2 blow out for the month. The membership is affordable. I can easily add on a conditioning treatment. I love treating myself to someone else washing, drying, and styling my hair. All of the girls are great. This is a great service that I can’t live without.

I have been there several times and I have tried many hair stylists, for color and cut, Lindsey is the best. However, they need to reflect on their pricing, their prices are too high especially if its level 1/2 stylist then its definitely not in line with the price.

Loved everything about my appointment! The team was so warm & welcoming. My stylist Alyssa was so sweet and nailed the look I was going for - both color and cut. Plus the design and decor of the studio is so much fun. Highly recommend.

I almost don't want to write this review, because then people will find out about Elizabeth, and she'll get wayyyyy too popular and won't be free when I need her to be! On a serious note, Elizabeth is the best. She took the time to listen to me at the start of the appointment, understand what I wanted, explain different prices, and what different options would look like, and what things would look like for my specific hair, as well as what upkeep would be. As we went through the appointment, she explained each step of what she was doing, and what I should expect next. She was super thorough, very kind and it was evident that she knew exactly what she was doing. What a gem!

I just wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at your studio. I visited with my two nieces for a fairy hair session, and it was absolutely amazing! The staff was incredibly kind and made the little girls feel so special in your beautiful pink paradise. The entire experience was magical for them, and I can’t thank you enough for making it such a memorable day. We truly appreciate the warm hospitality and attention to detail. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Adena has been cutting my hair for years. Always impeccable service, always nice, and always willing to work with my hectic schedule.


Jan 06, 2025

Hannah J is absolutely amazing! I drive over an hour for her hand tied extensions. She never disappoints to make me feel so confident with my hair. For reference I have 2 rows of 22”.


Jan 06, 2025

I had an amazing experience at pinup. I came with a vision in mind and Kym brought it to life. There was a hiccup in the process but Kym was very knowledgeable and quick on her feet to come up with a compromising solution that came out better than my original idea. I wanted something new and different and that’s exactly what she gave me. She even made a color just for me! I definitely put her through the wringer with the extra time needed for correction and brainstorming AND it was late but she was such a good sport and kept a great atmosphere. That’s my girl now so she will be seeing me again and again for more trials and fun times.


Jan 06, 2025

I was the DJ here for a party and couldn't get over how cute the place is. The girls were fun, and the salon was perfectly pink!


Jan 06, 2025

I've been coming here for years and I've always been welcomed in with open arms, warm smiles, and a whole lot of love. I've followed my girl Adena to everywhere she's gone, she is my ride or die, I absolutely adore her and her work. She's knowledgeable, funny, and full of vibrance and is truly an artist at her craft. I will forever recommend her to anyone dyeing to be a redhead or needing a balayage, or wanting to be a unicorn. She will nurture you and walk you through every step, offering her expert advice to get you where you want to be. 1000/10 ❤️❤️

If you’re looking for blonde, or anything really, but in my experience it’s just been blonde 😂 Samantha is your girl!! Blonde is hard to get right and she always makes it look amazing! She takes extra precautions not to damage my hair! She has an amazing and fun personality, which is important when you have a lot of hair and want to be blonde, you are going to be there a while! I also love the experience at pin-up! They have those hair washing bowls that don’t hurt you neck which is a life changing experience 🫶🏼 the decor for each season is so fun! And well the holiday drink list looks amazing (but I’m currently pregnant 😊) I will catch it next year for sure! I attached a photo of my blonde for my wedding for reference!


Jan 06, 2025

I’ve always had an amazing experience at Pinup Studio, the staff is all so sweet! Adena always gets me right, she’s so helpful, kind and answers all my hair questions! 10/10 recommend, they always give what you ask for 🩷


Jan 06, 2025

I’ve seen Sam twice now to get my hair colored/glazed and cut, and I have felt extremely confident each time. Sam takes her time and is so friendly/genuine it makes sitting in her chair feeling like a relaxing and fun experience. Bonus, the salon is super cute!


Jan 06, 2025

LOVE this place!! Awesome service.


Jan 06, 2025

My stylist Samantha is awesome. Always a relaxing and enjoyable haircut and salon experience. Samantha is the only person who has touched my hair for the past 6-7 years from short to now a ponytail that midway down my back. She also handles my wife’s hair with cuts and color. 10 out of 10 recommend Samantha and Pinup Studios!


Jan 06, 2025

Pinup Studio and Kym are forever my only go to! The vibes of Pinup are unmatched and Kym always reads my mind and makes my hair dreams come to life. 10/10 everytime!


Jan 06, 2025

Pinup Studio is truly one of a kind, and I can't see myself ever getting my hair done anywhere else! Adena is the sweetest stylist ever and I always have such a good time chatting with her while she makes my hair look fabulous! She is always so thorough and gentle while she cuts and colors my hair. She really is the best! Alli is an amazing coordinator and always makes me feel welcomed, too! All of the ladies at Pinup are so friendly and ensure that you enjoy your time at the studio! I always leave feeling happy, pampered, and fresh! 💖


Jan 06, 2025

Pinup is my favorite salon in the area. It’s so cozy, yet also feels luxurious. The whole team makes you feel pampered from the moment you walk in the door. Lindsey has given me EXACTLY what I’m looking for with my color, and I love the way she styles my hair.


Jan 06, 2025

Pinup is the best! Their new location is so gorgeous and feminine. I have been getting my hair done by Alyssa for years and she nails it every time! I show her my inspiration photo and she always exceeds. I recommend this salon and Alyssa to anyone who asks where the best salon is in Raleigh.


Jan 06, 2025

Sam Taylor is a magician! Aside from being so kind and fun, she really listens and “designs” around what you want (beyond just color, but how does this maintenance fit into your lifestyle, what are your hair concerns, etc). I’ve been going to her for 3+ years now, Highly highly recommend Sam!


Jan 06, 2025

Samantha is amazing! She always listens to me and makes recommendations about what will look best and work for my hair. She always has me looking my best - colors and cuts!


Jan 06, 2025

Samantha is the best hairstylist and is so nice, and also funny. My hair turned out great and I love it! Also the studio is super cute and always decorated for the holidays.


Jan 06, 2025

Samantha kills it every time! I’ve exclusively been seeing Samantha over the last 7 years or so. She is kind, fun, bubbly and knows what she’s doing. Even my daughter refuses to go anywhere but to Pinup because of her! The salon is always spotless and decorated for holidays which is such a fun touch for some pictures. It’s always a delight at every visit with Sam and the team.


Jan 06, 2025

Since I found Adena, I do not trust anyone else to do my hair. She is truly the best! The new salon location is amazing and the staff is always very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend Adena and Pinup Studio for all your hair needs 💗


Jan 06, 2025

Wedding makeup and hair was perfection thanks to these wonderful women!!!! Exactly what I wanted and I felt so beautiful all day!! And so did my wedding party! Whitney and Elizabeth are both so kind and accommodating, even when some changes came up on the wedding day, they rolled with it! They will really listen to what you want! Can not say thank you enough for making me feel so special and beautiful!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - Wojcik Wedding 11.23.24

Hannah was super nice and did a great job cutting my hair! It looks amazing and was exactly what I wanted!!


Dec 06, 2024

I had a great experience with this studio and my stylist Brenda! They’re all so welcoming and the place is decorated beautifully. I got my hair washed, cut, blown out/curled and it looked great!! Would definitely go back.


Dec 06, 2024

I saw Lindsey this past Saturday and she was wonderful just like usual! We did my color refresh to get ready for my extension install. She is always so nice and great at what she does!!!!


Dec 06, 2024

I started going to Pinup after my sister recommended her stylist, Adena—and let me tell you, it’s been the best decision! Adena came highly recommended by my sister’s husband’s family, and now we’re all obsessed with her. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about hair care (she’s taught me how to keep my color looking fresh between appointments), but she also works with me to stay within my budget, which I really appreciate. On top of her skills, she’s the sweetest person and the ultimate hype woman. I always look forward to my self-care days with her—she makes them so special! And those holiday cocktails? They take the pampering experience to a whole new level. Adena is truly the best!


Dec 06, 2024

Kym did an amazing job on my blowout service! ✨🤍 She styled me with waves, gave a soothing scalp massage and recommended products to me. 😎


Dec 06, 2024

Love coming here and getting my hair colored, cut, and styled! Worth every scent! Samantha does a fantastic job 👏


Dec 06, 2024

Sam is AMAZING she always does a great job! I would 10/10 recommend ❤️


Dec 06, 2024

Samantha is the best. My haircut/style always looks great. She’s very knowledgeable in her career and caring about her customer’s cut and style.


Dec 06, 2024

The bridal team was beyond amazing. Whitney and the hairdresser are beyond talented and just the sweetest people. I am a client of Pinup, but this experience exceeded my expectations. The trial went smoothly and they listened to my concerns and man, did they deliver. My MOH had never had pro makeup and hair, and my mom looked amazing. I can’t say enough good things about how they treated myself and family on my wedding day! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup and I felt like a star. Thank you sincerely for making my dream come true for my wedding!


Dec 06, 2024

There is not another salon like Pin-Up! The vibes are always high and the decor esthetics will have you wanting to come back sooner than your hair tells you to. Adena is amazing at every curve ball I’ve thrown at her with my hair for the past 10+ years. Please don’t ever retire!!! You will melt with the surprise scalp massage during the shampooing process. I love to grab a complimentary drink/ coffee and a snack before I settle in my chair. Snacks & wine while I get my hair done?! Sign me up!!


Dec 06, 2024

This place is a dream! I’ve been coming here for almost five years and Adena has never failed to let me down. I’ve changed my hair up numerous times throughout the years and Adena has listened and made all of my ideas come to life. All the staff members are so nice and attentive and it’s always so fun coming to their salon to see what unique decorations they have for each season.


Nov 06, 2024

Really nice salon with extra nice people. Hannah was so great, did a fab job on my hair color and cut. Will be back!!


Nov 06, 2024

Sam is the BEST for my naturally red hair. I have trusted her with my hair for 6 years and she hasn’t failed me yet. She is extremely compassionate and truly listens to you and what you wish to achieve with your hair. Going to be at a loss when she retires one day! Thanks Sam for my glowing mane!
