Spacehead Salon — Attraction in Charlotte

This was a really terrific first-time experience at Spacehead Salon! I have systemic lupus, which translates to having a few weird health-related pre-requisites and precautions, plus -- I am not exactly rolling in money. 🙄 My stylist at another salon left for a different state during the pandemic, and I had been looking for a suitable replacement ever since.

With all this in mind, I researched for salons with an environmental focus -- yes, I'm an eco-freako, as everyone honestly SHOULD be -- but I have also found these salons to be far more tolerable, as strong chemical scents are a lupus trigger for me. Spacehead Salon was one of the few salons around with such a finely-tuned mission to protect the environment and minimize salon waste. Plus, as I am a Star Wars nerd and a Deadhead, Spacehead just seemed like the next logical step! Great introduction, and I hadn't even stepped into the salon yet.

Since cost was also a priority, I chose padawan stylist (stylist in-training, for all you unfortunates in the dark on this one) Kade, who was available for an amazing price. I had written a few words about my disease in my booking info, and what I ultimately found through the course of my appointment was that Kade listened, accommodated, and did everything in her power to make me feel very welcome and comfortable.

Whenever Kade needed some help navigating her way through my asteroid field of shaggy hair, her salon owner and Master Stylist Shay was right by her side to either show her the path, or grab the wheel...ahem I mean scissors, and guide her to safety. Fellow stylist and salon Manager Alison also offered Kade friendly assistance when making my shampoo choice, and salon Coordinator Jay was polite, friendly, and accommodating.

Kade's scalp massage during my shampoo was sheer heavenly! I would go back every day for that alone, if I could. As amazing as that was, the haircut, the overall experience, and the cost also ALL exceeded my expectations! Plus, what other hair salon has a blow-up cow riding inside a blow-up...rocketship?! I mean, come on! 🙄😂

I will definitely be back to this hair galaxy that's not so far, far away, and will gladly dedicate my hair to the completion of Kade's training. The Force is strong with...

A Stellar Haircut Experience!

I had the pleasure of getting my hair cut by Alison at Spacehead Salon, and I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience! From start to finish, Alison's expertise and the ambiance of Spacehead Salon made it an unforgettable visit.

From the moment I stepped into Spacehead Salon, I was captivated by the unique and modern decor that perfectly matched the salon's name. The team greeted me warmly, and Alison's friendly smile instantly put me at ease.

Alison took the time to sit down with me and discuss my hair goals, patiently listening to my preferences and offering valuable insights. Her passion for hair styling was evident, and I knew I was in good hands. She effortlessly understood what I wanted and went above and beyond to deliver a stylish haircut that suits my face shape and personality.

Throughout the haircut, Alison's attention to detail was impeccable. Every snip and trim seemed deliberate, ensuring the final result was flawless. Not only did she provide a remarkable cut, but she also shared tips and tricks to maintain the style, which I genuinely appreciated.

Walking out of Spacehead Salon with my new haircut, I felt like a brand new person. The compliments I received from friends and family further reinforced what a fantastic job Alison did.

I cannot recommend Alison and Spacehead Salon enough. If you're looking for a talented stylist who genuinely cares about giving you the perfect haircut and a salon with a vibrant atmosphere, this is the place to be. Alison's passion for her craft shines through in her work, and Spacehead Salon is undoubtedly a gem in the world of hairstyling. I can't wait to return for my next haircut and experience another stellar...

I’ve been seeing Allison for several years now, after scouring the entire Charlotte area for a stylist. She’s the one I followed from a previous salon to Spacehead, because in my opinion she is hands-down the best stylist for men’s hair in this city.

Shay, the owner, is equally incredible. She’s welcoming, fun, and has created a salon that feels like a real community. The vibe is rad in all the right ways, and the whole team is warm, talented, and genuinely lovely.

And we shan't forget about Jay :) the concierge, who makes the experience complete. From the moment you walk in, he greets you with a big smile, offers something to eat or drink, and somehow knows exactly what you’ll want before you even ask. He’s the perfect person to have at the front desk... kind, thoughtful, and always on point.

On top of aaalll this, Spacehead regularly hosts these creative events that shine a spotlight on local artists and support the staff, which makes it feel less like a salon and more like a hub for culture and connection in Charlotte.

Oh... and can we HAVE to talk about about the massage chairs and Allison’s lights-out scalp massage... Without them, I’d probably wither away into a ball of unhappiness and darkness. Instead, every appointment feels like therapy, art, and a partay rolled into one.

Beam me up, baby - I’m a Spacehead junkie...
