Don't ever go here! – I have been getting my hair cut and styled for years, and have never had such a bad experience as this. I went in with beautiful long hair and told the stylist I wanted a trim. On top of that, I brought in a picture of myself with the desired lenth which I told him I only wanted it maximum 2 inches shorter. Well, after he assured me in a horrible french accent that he'd only trim a little, he washed my hair and then spun me so I couldn't see the mirror. When he turned me around, I was HORRIFIED! He'd cu... read more

Great experience all around – Salon 135 was great! I called literally 15 minutes before and snagged the last open appointment they had for the day. They were great about fitting me in even though I was a first time customer. I had recently gotten a hair cut, but it hadn't been what I wanted and I was really disappointed in it, and after a couple weeks of thinking about it decided to get it re-done here. Jonathan was my stylist and he was GREAT. He took what I wanted and my requirements and turned them into a great cut. I rea... read more

Experienced Stylists – The receptionist though professional can only be called that: professional. BUT, he is not who I went to see and so, let me contrast his stiffness with the actual stylist. I had Kelly, who was very cool with my hair-cutting anxiety. Kelly was everything you want in a stylist: competent, professional and warm. I am definitely going back to that place. It is cozy and small - which I also like. And important for many of us, the haircut/wash/consulting only set me back $38 for the cut and $6 for the tip.

Pleasant atmosphere, skilled stylists – After a not-so-great cut at another salon, I went to 135 to get the opinion of a new stylist and to correct the problems with my previous cut. Kelly immediately figured out what went wrong with my hair and how to soften the damage. She was really pleasant as were the rest of the staff. It seems like they have a little family at 135. It's a little more expensive than I like to pay for haircuts ($38) but it's hard to find less expensive, quality salons in Chapel Hill. I'll probably go ba... read more

Not worth it! – I have been going off and on for a few years, for lack of finding a better place. Quit going when haircuts and highlights were not getting any better, not only that but there were careless mistakes made. Don't waste your time or money- stylists rush, don't seem to care about customer satisfaction, don't really listen to what you want. Very hard to find parking. Friendly staff but unskilled stylists.

surprisingly good – I first went for a haircut and April was fantastic, exactly what I wanted. Then after attempting to do my own highlights (ended up neon orange) I called panicked. Jonathan fit me at 5pm on Friday- the one time I could come before an event on Sat. He patiently corrected my hair for 3 hours on a FRIDAY night. I was completely impressed. And he cut my layers in a new way I love. Jonathan is amazing. Last month I ran into an old friend, her hair looked outstanding. When asked where she went, she raved about J... read more

A Diamond in the Rough – After living in the Triangle area for almost two years, I think I finally found my stylist. Ashlyn was both sympathetic to me for the AWFUL haircut I got days before at another salon (which is heavily advertised on citysearch) and she managed to make me feel beautiful when I left. I have been to several hairdressers over the last two years and was relieved to meet a stylist who was intuitive to what I asked for (and not the '80s look I got instead two days earlier) and took the time to actually style... read more

good location, poor stylists – I like the location of Salon 135 because it is so close to the UNC Chapel Hill campus. This is the reason I repeatedly went to get my hair highlighted and cut there. I finally had to leave because the cuts and highlights were not getting any better. I have heard the men stylists are better than the women stylists there.

City salon in a college town – Salon 135 offers a city atmosphere in the heart of Franklin Street. You pay for what you get. If you want a cheap hair cut go to great clips but you won't be satisfied. The staff is solid with ideas about what works best for each person. Go ask Bulah at Great Clips to just do what she thinks best with your hair and you'll be terrified of the results. Ask someone at 135 to do so and you'll walk out thinking you're a rock star. Two thumbs up!
