The Junction Salon and Bar

I cannot rave more about Sarah’s talent. If you are looking for a blonding specialist that can blend the blonde so it seems like it’s growing right from your head, then Sarah is it in Raleigh. I have been looking for a stylist since mine moved and I have lived in bigger cities that have great talent pools, Sarah definitely holds her own. Her consultation was precise and not rushed. She listened to exactly what I needed and my long term goals of where I want to be. She also treated my damaged hair with great care. My hair was already coming in with a lot of dark color that had been added at the roots with a lot of brassiness and throughout the ends, as well as striped blonde highlights. She blended and used baby lights so that my grow out would be smooth and I wouldn’t have to rush back into the salon every 4-6 weeks on the dot. She also lifted the dark from my ends without creating anymore damage. The tone was exactly what I wanted too. I’m happy to say I have found a great stylist in Raleigh who is experienced and listens to what I need and what my hair needs. Feeling heard and having a great consult can make or break a hair appointment 😊

Sarah went above and beyond to get the perfect color while keeping my hair healthy. Recommended 100%.

I happened to drop in during a walk and the owner squeezed me into the schedule. Katie did a great job with my long women’s haircut, the shampoo was like a free head massage. The face frame, body shape, and layers came out wonderful. She has 12 years of haircutting experience and just relocated here! Highly recommend her. The owner was very kind and made me a very yummy coffee. Made my day!

I’ve been seeing Sarah for the past 6 months, and she’s been incredible! I first came to her with a DIY full bleach and tone, and she worked wonders with an initial color correction and subsequent touch-ups, keeping my hair healthy and shiny. Recently, she transitioned my look to a reverse balayage, and it’s the best color work I’ve ever had! Sarah listens carefully, collaborates on a plan, and keeps me informed about the products and techniques she uses, showcasing her expertise and dedication to her clients. Her attention to detail and personalized approach consistently leave me thrilled with my results - I’ve never left unhappy. If you’re looking for a talented stylist to refresh or totally change your hair, reach out to Sarah!

Always the best cuts and styles. Everyone is super friendly every time I've been in.

I cannot recommend Jessica Lynne enough!! Not only did she give me exactly what I wanted, but she was kind, funny, and professional. Because of her many years of experience, it was the fastest full highlight I’ve ever gotten! As long as she’s in Raleigh, I will not be going to another stylist. 10/10 service 🫶🏼

I do not recommend this salon for women of color. Jesslyn’s comments toward my wife were microaggressive and disrespectful. On top of that, the final hairstyle for my wife’s wedding day was extremely disappointing. My wife was unhappy with the results, and this should never happen on such an important day. Despite being required to do a trial, Jesslyn didn’t deliver a satisfactory style even then. My wife gave clear feedback during the trial, but Jesslyn chose to ignore it. This behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable. I cannot, in good conscience, allow my wife to return to this salon.

I very recently moved to Raleigh and was looking for a place to get my hair toned and cut. Kelly exceeded my expectations and gave me a cut + toned down my brassy ends. I LOVE the way my hair turned out. Definitely give this Salon a chance.

I visited to see Stephen from London. I wanted a drastic haircut and went from lower chest-length to ear-length in an evening and I never doubted Stephen’s precision and shared vision and was right for it.🖤

River was awesome! She gave me the perfect blowout for my event and at a good price! Definitely recommend.

Sarah Padilla gave me the best Brazilian blowout I’ve ever had. Her attention to detail is exceptional, and I highly recommend her work! I didn’t get the best picture until after I braided my hair, but trust me—my hair was perfectly straight.

Jan 05, 2025

Sarah was FANTASTIC. I’ve had difficulties achieving the look I’ve wanted at other salons. Sarah was able to give me all of the fun and funky layers I’ve been looking for!

Jan 05, 2025

Sarah, you are an artist! I’ve very particular with my hair but her attention to detail, knowledge, and extreme cleanliness made me feel like I found my stylist! I’ll recommend her to anyone looking for a true pro. Great experience and the results are gorgeous.

Jessica was beyond! Exceeded all expectations- and the strengthening treatment, WOW! Looking forward to my new found hair stylist! Absolutely, would recommend her!

Kaylyn does such an excellent job on my curly hair! She listens well to what I’m looking for and I walk out looking better every time!

Sara was very nice. She talked to me about my hair concerns. Sara said my hair was healthy. I will be calling for another appointment soon.

Great experience! The salon has a nice vibe and atmosphere. Everyone was friendly, and Jesslynn did an amazing job with my hand-painted balayage. It was exactly what I was looking for, very natural but still so much more dimension than my un-enhanced natural. I have not colored my hair in years, so I was nervous about getting back into it, but she did a great job and I will be back for sure!

Nov 05, 2024

I had Katie - She did an amazing job with my color and blow out. I’m obsessed with my hair.

Nov 05, 2024

I had a great experience, everyone was friendly and I’m happy with how my color turned out!

Nov 05, 2024

My hair couldn't be in better hands 😍 Jesslyn is the BEST. It was my first time getting my hair dyed so I was pretty nervous and excited at the same time and Jesslyn made me feel that my hair was in a safe place and that I was going to get the best results ever!!! She gave me the most beautiful cut and balayage, plus gave me tips to take care and style my curly hair. Thank you so much Jesslyn, I'm in love with my hair ❤️

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE A POC. Worst discriminatory salon experience I have ever had. I drove almost an hour to get here, I had wanted to get a trim before my birthday. Kelly, cut my hair the last time I was here, she was the first stylist I had liked in a long time and she had done a great job so naturally I booked my appointment today with her. I did not want any special cut, just my split ends trimmed. I arrived 10 min early and sat waiting for my appointment. My appointment time came and I was still waiting, which I found strange since Kelly was just standing by the bar talking to her co-workers. I was then told there was "not enough time" for me today, could I come back later or tomorrow. I let the receptionist know I was going out of town and had driven almost an hour to get there, when I asked why they did not call me to tell me this beforehand I was told "they just caught it now." I was then told that Kelly did not "feel comfortable" seeing me or working on my hair. I.e. she took one look at me and decided she did not have time for me and did not want to cut my hair because it is curly. Despite having been the person to initially cut my hair the last time I was there, which they saw in their file. She had no trouble cutting my hair last time and had even told me when to come back to her for another trim. Kelly did not even have the human decency to tell me this directly she instead had her co-workers tell me that I made her "uncomfortable" and that she would not see me. I had no trouble the last time I was here, the only difference that day was that I was with my fiancée who is not a POC…

Daughter loves hair cut and styling

Jess was sooo attentive and sweet! Clearly knows her stuff. I’m egyptian with super curly hair and trust nobody to handle it but she listened to exactly what i needed and worked incrementally with me till i got what i was looking for. Will be coming back regularly!

Nov 05, 2024

Just love Kelly, she took her time and gave me a great cut, needed to get rid of a lot of dead ends. Very happy with the results. The salon was very clean and love the industrial look inside with a color bar and a real bar too. Will definitely be back again.

Nov 05, 2024

Kaylyn is excellent. She knows exactly how to cut my hair! She is a great listener and taught me how to care for my hair at home. Definitely recommend!!!
