Rock Paper Scissors Salon

"I moved to Durham in 2014 and was in need of a stylist. That's when I found Rock Paper Scissors and my now long term stylist Amy! Amy is always ready to help me achieve my desired look, whether it's keeping things as is or making a drastic color/cut change. I've been blonde, red, dark and back again. She really knows her stuff and knows how to get things just right. I started bringing my husband along to get his hair cut during my color processing, which we turn into an excuse for a date by walking over for lunch or dinner in downtown Durham after our appointment. The salon is in a great location and has very nice atmosphere. They take online appointments and are great about sending reminders. Highly recommend this salon!"

"Great cut & color! When I called to select the best stylist they asked good questions and booked me with Suzanne. She took the time to ask what I was looking for and then gave her opinion. She did a great cut for my naturally curly hair! It’s lighter layers and brought back the bounce. Great job and everyone there is very friendly."

"Had my first cut at Rock Paper Scissors today by Abigail. She was such a joy to be around and delivered a phenomenal haircut that was exactly what I asked for. As a first time client she made me feel understood, comfortable, and appreciated. Our appointment went a little over time but my hair is pretty long and she gave me a perfect blow out so I was not put off by a slight up-charge for the extra time she had to spend especially since the prices were very fair to begin with. The salon itself has a fun and funky aesthetic, is well kept, and all the staff I interacted with were very kind. 10/10 recommend."

"BEST. EXPERIENCE. EVER. Will definitely be coming back to R.P.S!! I got a full set of highlights and a cut for my birthday with Abigail and she absolutely ROCKED IT!!! My hair came out exactly how I had hoped and it is so soft and healthy. Plus she was so super friendly and just all around wonderful. Totally forgot that she wanted to do a before and after picture but we were chatting so much time flew by so fast. If I could give her more than five stars I would!!!! Thank you Abigail ♥️"

"I got there 12 minutes late, but they still sent me home 15 minutes earlier with a still wet hair. They didn’t finalize my curly hair in a professional way, my curls were nowhere to be found. I finally chose to get more layers but it just looks chopped. I do not want to sound rude but if you want to charge $120+tip for a curly haircut, I expect it to be flawless and to have that amazing hair salon finalization. I got an awesome curly haircut in my hometown before, I know what my hair is capable of. My hair was so long, they had the opportunity to do something very nice but I ended up with the worst haircut I ever had. Need to stop selling curly haircut like you are curls “specialist” when you deliver this type of job. Unless the bar is set too low around here… very disappointed. It was done by Laurie btw."
