I had been looking for a new salon. I found destenee salon on citysearch and decided to give it a shot. My haircut and color are simple and I wanted basically a similar look to what I had. I walked away with a really bad highlights and worse haircut. I asked for a trim and got about 5-6 inches taken off. Worse than that I paid $240.00 and I'm not sure for what. I came back and looked at the price...
Great atmosphere, very comfortable and unique interior design. It feels like a happy mini vacation to your body. Also accommodating appointments and great staff. I highly recommend it.
I've been going to Destenee for almost a year now, and never been disappointed. Carrie is the best -- she listens, she suggests, and then she works her magic.
There are two types of salons as I see it. There are the arrogant ones that will let you tell them what you want. Then they do what they want anyway and when you are horrified at the results, they will charge you anyway. Of course, your dissatisfaction is completely your own doing and they are obviously not responsible. They tell you, ?You didn?t communicate what you wanted.? Or ?You?ll love ...
I have been getting my hair done by Hamza for about six months and LOVE it. I love the salon, all the staff, and my hair. Hamza is friendly, outgoing, and very honest with me about what he feels would be best and most healthiest for my hair. We laugh together, exchange stories, and have a great time! I will NEVER go anywhere else for my hair. Destenee's Salon and Spa is wonderful.
I have been a loyal customer at Destenee for several years now, and I am very satisfied. Going to Destenee is a treat, with the staff taking special care to help you relax and enjoy the experience. Whitney, a recent addition to the staff, is knowledgeable and talented, and she takes the extra time to figure out what works best for me. Bobbi, the owner, checks in with clients and is making improve...
At Destenee, everyone is always friendly and welcoming! Whitney has been my stylist for over six months. She is always on time and ready and willing to recommend the right cut and color for my face shape and skin tone. She will not let you leave without your hair looking its best. I receive complements on my hair constantly!
being new to n.c. i had quite the hunt for a hairdresser that was willing to take extra time to listen to me and understand what style is best for my hair and face. Whitney is considerate, willing, and an adept stylist. my hair is much easier to manage and more becoming ( i think) than prior to the appointment. i look forward to more appointments w her and would highly recommend her to others .
What a wonderful salon. Each individual is treated as a unique person with her/his needs as the top concern. Bobbie is creative and very good with color matching to my graying natural shade. Go to Destenee and see for yourself how good a salon this one is.
Destenee Salon is wonderful!! Since I moved to Chapel Hill for school, I've been looking for a salon to go for hair and waxing treatments, that?s why I will always go to this generous place to have haircuts and/or waxing. I read all the reviews and found it a better place to go to.
The atmosphere is great and they really do work as a team to make you completely satisfied. You can tell that they enjoy what they do and that's what makes them do a fantastic job. At least I know they did for me! I would recommend them to anybody!
Destenee Salon is wonderful!! Since I moved to Chapel Hill for school, I've been looking for a salon to go for hair and waxing treatments. I've tried several different places and have not been happy with the service. I've been coming to Destenee's Salon for the past several months and have always had wonderful service! The atmosphere is also great :)
I have been going to Destenee for about couple months now and I will never go any where else. Carrie is great with curly hair. She is always giving me a new style to try on my own. The staff's service is excellent. I am always offered a bottle of water upon entering and they use Paul Mitchell products. Overall a great experience each visit!
Bobbie and her staff have been a great find for me. Excellent results every time. Always better than I deserve! Most importantly for me is that they are very accommodating and will do whatever they can to meet your schedule. Great place!
I started going to Carrie Dacunto when she was in school. She was a star pupil and is a rock star stylist. She is the only one who has managed to match my true color so I don't have to get my hair colored as frequently as before. She listens to me - really listens - and understands what I need and want in a style. She's the only one who has been able to do my bangs without making me look like I'm...
I recently went to Destenee Salon and Spa for the first time. My appointment was with Whitney and I couldn't have been more pleased. She gave me a perm and I then received a cut, style, and blow dry. She was very knowledgeable and actually took time to listen when I was explaining what I was looking for. I can honestly say that she gave me the best perm I have ever gotten. And believe me when...
Followed Bobbie to this salon before she bought it. Now that she has the staff in place that she hired instead of the stylists that were there under the other owner, everyone's attitude is much better, friendly and knowledgeable. Last time I was in for a hair cut, I mentioned that my eyebrows were loosing their shape due to my aging. Bobbie turned me over to a brow specialist on the spur of t...
I've seen Carrie D. twice for down-do's. She is PHENOMENAL!!! Both times she's done my hair, I received countless compliments from both friends and strangers. Carrie is great about soliciting my input, and injecting her own style and expertise into her styling. The receptionists are also very sweet. I highly recommend this salon!
Autumn breezes and an old outgrown summer style are sending me back to Bobbie for a fresh fall haircut. This salon is so caring and concerned with the appropriate look for each customer, not just what the stylist has in mind that day. Bobbie is excellent with color too. I highly recommend Destenee for good service.
Carrie D... Where have you been all of my life? I just want to say that Carrie at Destenee knows her business!!! I have naturally dirty blond hair, and have spent countless dollars and time in various salons throughout the years getting highlights done. Carrie D. is an expert in color, and suggested that she do an all- over color back in July upon my first visit to the salon (much more cost effec...
I have been going to Destenee for awhile now and always feel welcome and comfortable. Jeremy is the BEST. He has been coloring and stylig my hair for over 8 years and always gets it right. How lucky to find someone who is so professional and extremely in the know on what is new and fresh when it comes to women and current styles. Jeremy will never steer you wrong I trust him completely with ...
i had been going to the same hairstylist for about a year, but she was often afraid to branch out. i wanted a more chunky hilight, so i thought i would try someone new. whitney was FABULOUS! i felt completely comfortable with her, and she communicated really well about what look i was going for so that we were on the same page. in the past i've been a little intimidated by my hairdresser (i.e...
My service was actually with Carrie for my mother's wedding, but our pleasant welcome was from Whitney. She made my mother and I experience worth the wait. Our wait was not long at all for Carrie whom was finishing up a guest. Whitney guest service is exceptional!
Carrie did my mom's makeup like a movie star for her wedding. While waiting for my mom, Whitney service me. Well let me tell you....I...
We came in with a wedding party and got our hair and makeup done. The stylists that did our updo's took their time and really paid attention to what we wanted. We had about 10 people in our group and came in on a Sunday. Destenee salon and spa treated us with fresh fruit, mimosa's, white wine, pasteries and smiles. I feel as though they are so unique in the personal touches that they provided to ...
I have to say that this is by far the best salon that I have ever been to. I had an appointment for a highlight and cut. The staff there was very nice and everyone seemed to work together. My appointment was with Hamza. I told him what I wanted and he suggested that we start with something a little more subtle first and if I wanted to go more drastic after that that we could. I'm glad he did...
I am going back again this morning for another appointment with Bobbie. She always does a great job, is concerned about what you want, and is so friendly. Also the Salon is very flexible with appointments. I highly recommend it.
I have been to Destenee Salon (3) times and I have enjoyed myself thoroughly each time. Carrie D is awesome and can do it all, I spend the day with her each time I go. She has colored and cut my hair, given me the best scalp massage I have ever had, a gentle eyebrow wax and wonderful, relaxing pedicure to complete the day. As you can see, I keep finding reasons to go back for more!
I went to Destinee with my wedding party to have our hair and my makeup done--we all had a great experience. The hair and makeup stylists were all very friendly and did a great job. They even had champagne and pastries out for us! I was very pleased with everything!
I am horribly disappointed in the hair cut I received. I had lond hair and wanted a shorter cut. But never did I expect that she would cut my hair to be between 1.5 and 7 inches long (from the root to the tip of the hair). The back of my hair is massive amounts of layers. Sure, after the stylist styled it for 30 minutes it looked kinda cool. But there is no way that I have a hour plus to sty...
Destenee Salon and Spa is a great place to be pampered and get a professional hair cut and color. The staff is friendly and always does a good job. Bobbie is great. A "Good Hair Day" for you!
I had my hair done by Bobbie and she did an excellent. I needed a new style and some color to cover the Gray! I couldn't have asked for a better, easy to manage style and the color was excellent. I highly recommend Destenee Salon and Spa for your hair needs especially if you are looking for a new style!
I went in looking for a fun funky cut. Instead of funky I walked out with something between a soccer Mom and Hilary Clinton. I used to live in Atlanta and had a fun modern stylist there. I brought in pictures to show the stylist at Destenee what I was looking for. I had long layered wavy hair when I walked in. I was looking to add bangs or a few more layers. The stylist told me she wanted to "cle...
I'm very picky about my short hair. I was referred to Jen and that she was great with short hair. I am pleased to know she can look at a picture and give you that cut.
We have been going to Destenee for about 2 years now and the experience with my hair stylist has been very well. Usually, the staff is nice and outgoing.
I went to Destenee yesterday after reading a flyer posted on the board at work about a fundraiser they had going on to raise money for several organizations. I believed it was my duty to get a haircut for a good cause. As you might imagine, it was packed. They were very toughtful though and had lots of food, drinks, and plenty of seating. The fire department was even out front showing off the...
I went to have my haircut and Lisa P was my stylist. I must say I have never been so disappointed. For the price I had to pay, I expected much more. I ended up going somewhere else for have the mess she made corrected. (She offered to correct it but I was scared to take the chance). I have seen dog groomers with more talent, not to mention, she reeks of cigarette smoke
I love my hairstylist, Jennifer Night. For years I have cut my own hair, because I couldn't find a hairdresser who would actually do what I asked. They were always second guessing me! Jennifer quickly understood my needs and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Now I go to her regularly and recommend her to others.
Anybody that does not enjoy there experience at this salon and spa is a crazed person. I have had nothing but great services every time I have had appointments. The stylist are so knowledgeable and helping me decide what is best for my hair that I appreciate their input. Alot of times I want something new and different and the stylist takes time and explains the pros and cons. That is somethi...
I have what I call unruly hair. When I grow it out it gets wavy and curly, but it's not symmetrical. I have been fighting this for years, trying to style it and gel it into submission. Bobbie cut it and showed me a new style that worked with my hair instead of against it. Now it looks great and is easy to style. Thank you Bobbie, I'll certainly be back!
I typically don't write out reviews unless things aren't up to my expectations. However, today I wish to share with you a place that I've had great service and quality work.I live in Raleigh and have been going to Destenee off and on for almost two years now. Every once in a while I find a more convenient place near home, but always end up going back to Bobbie. The service has always been outstan...
I wondered about this place when I read all the reviews that were days apart from each other for months and months but against my better intuition I made an apointment. I give them credit, very intense ambition for web exposure.....however, This is a very very average place that offers average services. My service ran late for no apparent reason, the attitude was negative, I did not receive what...
The person who previously posted must have been to Destinee on a very off day? I have been there twice so far for salon service and have had a warm reception both times. I came there after a terrible experience at Aveda in Chapel Hill and received exactly what I was looking for. The staff is friendly, they offer candy and wine/beverages at no charge, and the prices are fairly reasonable. I highly...
Jessica is a talented massage therapist and I hope to return for another massage and possibly a hair cut and color. The staff is friendly and the location is convenient; I wouldn't hesitate to tell a friend to give Destenee a try. My one concern (not a criticism) is that the massage therapy room was a bit stuffy probably due to the candles that were burning; candles create a relaxing atmosphere...
I went to Destenee Salon and Spa based off of the reviews on here. I'm new in town and didn't know where to go, but this was close to work and I decided to request Bobbie due to some of the reviews I had read that mentioned her directly. He was extremely friendly and made me feel welcome and important from the moment we met. She did an excellent job on my hair and I will definitely go back to ...
I went here and saw Jessica. I was extremely sore and I was in bad need of some deep tissue therapy. She is the first therapist that was able to apply enough pressure that I would call it "deep tissue". Most therapist I have seen start out strong, but only last a few minutes and then go to the basic swedish. Jessica was consistant from start to finish. Jessica is hands down, the best I've ev...
I read the reviews before I came in and i must say I was a bit hesitant. You can have 900 great reviews and a few bad ones, but somehow the few bad ones seem to resonate. I came from Chicago and have had a hard time finding a new place. I chose Abbey because my girl in Chicago was Abbey and I just loved her. I thought maybe this was a sign! Anyway, I came in for a cut just to try her out. ...
I was new to the area and went to Destenee Salon based on reviews and recommendations here. I was planning to donate my hair to the Locks of Love charity and wanted a stylist who would help me do that but also give me a beautiful style that would work with my newly cut, short hair. I had Abby Fuller as my stylist and have used her ever since. She does an amazing job and I always have fun chatting...
My hairstylist recently married and moved away and I had to find a new salon. I have wavy hair that's hard to cut and I also have a high/low-light color combo that I love and was worried might be hard to replicate. I called Destenee based on good overall citysearch reviews and got an appointment with Lisa. Lisa was GREAT and I love my cut and color. She did an excellent job and despite the fa...
I found Destenee on here and selected them based on the reviews and video. These reviews were spot on! From the moment I arrived, I felt like family. I went for a massage and decided to get a manicure. As a male, this was my first manicure. The massage was absolutely fantastic! she could sense my tight areas and appied the right amount of pressure to lossen things up. In the past, I've had ...
I had a good experience with stylist Lisa P...she just knew what to do and it worked well. She is no longer with the salon, but I trust I will get good service with the rest of the Destenee staff!
I was recommended here by a friend. I have had a lot of massages by a lot of therapist and let me tell you, this was one of the best! If you are looking for someone that knows how to apply a lot of pressure with out making it painful, this is the place to go! I highly recommend Jessica!
I found this place by searching "day spa's" on google. and was very pleased with their service and their staff. Its hard to find a good place to get a good wax done, but I will definitely be going back here, and this time it will be for more then a wax. Looking for a good "waxer"-Marquetta is your gal
The people at Destenee work with you. They do it in a professional manner and its like going to see a friend who is in the business. Complmentary refreshments as well. Those who speak unhighly of this place much use it at their own personal grievances as a grudge. Come out and enjoy one of the best hidden secrets of the triangle. Its your Destenee.
I had a really good experience last time I went to this salon. I got a massage which was great! And then I got a hair cut from Lisa. I need to cut off all my dead ends because I previously went to a different salon and got a bad highlight and fried my hair. After cutting about 3 inches off, I was very satisfied with my new haircut. Everyone at work said they loved it and asked where I got it ...
I have been to a lot of places to have my chest waxed and I always had to go home and finish with my girlfriends tweezers. I thought this was acceptable because it seemed rather consistent. I went to Destenee for my appointment and was pleasantly surprised. It was less painful than other places and she was very thorough. After she waxed she went back and got the stragglers with tweezers. I l...
First let me start off by saying I'm a manicure and pedicure veteran, so pleasing me isn't easy! This was the absolute best experience I've ever had in a nail salon. Stacy was adorable and held the most compelling and welcoming conversation I've ever had during a mani/pedi service. Not to mention the outstanding job she did on my nails and toes! She was definitely experienced and specialized in w...
I had to take a break from my busy workweek and was able to pamper myself. Thanks to my friend Sheree who referred this fabulous Day Spa to me. I must admit that I am quite meticulous when it comes to Spas, I am a keen observer to a place especially if it is my first time. The place was big, but the feeling that you were the only client that they have there was nice. I really felt comfortable and...
I have extremely curly hair and have spent my entire life trying to find someone who could cut it properly! I've lived in big cities like New York and Chicago, and have been to some great stylists, but Bobbie is the first person I've found who really took the time to understand what I was looking for, and who cut my hair like a pro. Going to get my haircut is such a treat now, because I know I'm ...
I've tried a lot of the other salons in town and never had I had an experience like I had today. Denise had colored my hair and it came out beautiful. BUT her scalp massage was truly wonderful. I felt so relaxed and I felt so much better. Denise is truly my hairdresser forever.
I have to say if you want a hair stylist that not only consistently amazes me, my friends and co-workers, with her talents, you must see Bobbie. She listens! She cares! She makes sure you leave happy! I reluctantly write this as she is already too busy & I hate having to get out of her chair! I must however give her props! She keeps me laughing and looking hot! What could be better? She is also c...
I have never written a review for anyone on line. But Jen is such a wonderful stylist and professional with so much insight into what helps us look our most beautiful, that I wanted to tell everyone. After my appointment with Jen, my hair felt thicker and had more body that I could remember since I was a teenager, and that was many, many, many years ago. My experience with Jen has been that she t...
I went for a manicure and pedicure today at Destenee Salon. Truly, it was the worst manicure I've ever had in my life, and I'm closing in on 50 here. At first I thought I was being pranked. (Until the nail of my right index finger was clipped short, leaving the raw pink of the nail bed exposed. Ouch and sharp sting, needless to say.) My nails looked ragged and had snags when she was done, as ...
Lisa Pruitt at Destenee is the best hair stylist I've been to during my past 3 years in Chapel Hill. I'd been to tons of other stylists who never seemed to understand what I wanted. She's cut my hair twice now, and I've been thrilled with the result both times!!
Destenee Salon is the only place I will trust to do cut, color and style my hair here in the Triangle! I see Bobbie, the owner, and she is wonderful! She has worked on me for years and is very helpful, friendly, honest and up-to-date on colors and products that fit my hair best. She is the epitome of style and professionalism! Plus she rocks on eyebrow waxing too!
I made an appointment for a massage here and requested a female therapist. I was scheduled with Sara. She was incredible, here fingers were able to find all the spots that were tight and loosen them up. It was the most relaxing massage I have ever had. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone.
I found Destenee salon because I work for UNC and got a discount there. It's always a risk to try to try a new salon b/c you want the perfect fit with your stylist...and i have found just that in Brenda, the only person i trust with my hair now! she is Fantastically-funny, and talented, does what you ask her to and not what she thinks you should get! the atmosphere there is also very relaxing and...
I live in Raleigh, but found this salon on here. After reading the reviews, I decided to drive a little further to see what the buzz was all about. I was a little nervous at first, so when I offered a glass of wine and gladly accepted. They put my mind at ease quickly. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. My stylist took me back and asked what I wanted to do, after I told her she m...
I found this salon here on citysearch and went here because of the reviews. I am happy to say that the reviews were very accurate. It is truely a beautiful place and the staff was extremely nice. I got a great color and cut and actually rebooked in four weeks. This is significant for me as I have never been one to plan for my hair services. I am now a loyal client to Destenee Salon. If you ...
I went here and got my hair done after trying to find somewhere close by that I could trust. I read the reviews and decided to go to this one. I thought that with all of the good reviews, they must be doing something right. I found out quick what everyone is raving about. The salon is BEAUTIFUL! She listened to what I wanted and made a few suggestions. After we agreed on what she was gooing...
My wife got a Brazilian wax and since she did, she insisted I did too. I could not find ANYONE that provided this service in the area and believe me I called just about everywhere. I found this place on craigslist advertising that they provided them. I scheduled an appointment and requested a massage first. They were booked up for massage but they recommended a back and chest facial instead. ...
I have really curly, coarse hair... and Sometimes I like to wear it straight and smooth.... And I have a lot of trouble with that! So I saw Brenda.... She blew my hair out smooth and silky in half the time it would have taken me to do it! I loved it and she was so nice and fun to talk to! I got so many compliments from my friends and family, and I WILL have Brenda do my hair again! The best part ...
I read an advertisement claiming an almost painless Brazilian. I called and made an appointment immediately because as anyone that has had one before knows, they can be quite painful! Toni was the best ever! I wouldn't call it painless, but it was close. This was definitely the least painful Brazilian I ever had. She used a different wax than I've ever seen, but I think it was more about how...
I have had been a few different places to get my back waxed and they have all been about the same. I went here and it was no where near as painful as the others. I asked what they did different and she said that they use a different wax. All I know is this is where I'll go from now on.
I called in looking for a deep tissue massage. It was actually much better than any massage I had received in the past. He was able to get down deep in the tissue and actually explained what and why he was doing what he was doing. I left feeling much better than when I walked in and I slept really well last night. I would highly recommend this place. Everyone was so nice and it is a very be...
This was my first visit to the salon and I absolutely loved it!!! Everyone is professional and friendly. I wanted to try a new style and Jen did an awesome job of counseling me as to what was best for my fine hair with the shape of my face. I must say I love my new style and I love Jen for helping me find the right style for me!!! Thanks Girl!!
I came in just the other day for a day at the spa. I first got my nails done by Stacey. It was very enjoyable. She gave me a full set of acrylic and free handed a design on them. She rocked them out. The pedicure was very relaxing. Great Job Stacey. Then I moved on to Ms. Jennifer Browning whomed did my color and highlights. She did excatly what i wanted and i was very pleased. I shall r...
I was in Destenee salon and spa yesterday to see jen for a cut and style. it was my first visit as I was looking for a new place since the last place I went was disasterous. I will be back a. Love jen and love this place.
I called around to see if I can get a massage the last minute. This salon was the only one that would accomidate me. I was hesitant at first, because evryone else was "booked up", I wondered why there was an opening. They explained to me that the other places have someone on call only, but they actually have somone on staff full-time. My experience was the best I ever had, the massage therapi...
I had never heard of yonka before, but I'm glad I have now! I went to Destenee salon and spa for a facial and got an introduction to yonka. They used these products on me during the facial and they smelled wonderful. Imagine my surprise when I realized that they actually work too. After my facial the girl made recommendations on what to take home, I was skeptical, but they smelled so good I d...
All-in-all, this is a good salon to get a quick cut that is stylish. My latest stylist, Jennifer, was quick, effective, and personable. As for the other services, I have not tried them because of the price. I go elsewhere for those. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't try it out. Check it out!
I've been in cosmotology before and worked in a couple hair salons so i sometimes find it hard to find the right person to do my hair and a salon i feel comfortable in. This salon is so wonderful decorated and everyone looks so professional!! I love coming here and wish I could just get my hair done everyday, My stylist is Brenda and I dont believe I'll ever go to anyone else! She does a wonderf...
I went to Destenee salon to have my hair done, Brenda did a wonderful job. She put in highlights and gave a great cut. I am very funny over my hair, but with Brenda I did not have to worry. She listened to what I wanted and did just that. The atmosphere was great the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I have findly found a place that I could go and feel like the day was all about me. I will ...
If you want to get your hair cut or colored by someone you can trust and also by someone who will actually listen to you, then go to Destinee and ask for Abby. Abby has a wonderful laugh and smile and is always upbeat and light in her attitude. Best of all, she listens. Actually listens to what you want. And if you need a change, she'll work with you and do whatever she can to make sure you a...
My gray has been coming in slowly, but surely. I always said that I didn't care what color it turns as long as it doesn't turn lose, but it was getting to the point of being mostly gray. I didn't want anything ecentric, just cover the gray and make it look natural. That is exactly what I got. I hate that I waited so long, I look about ten years younger! Thanks Bobbie, I'll be back!
I was reluctant about the reviews when I read about the 'payment' to write a review. Then the more reluctant with the atmosphere once I arrived. Sometimes you should just pay attention to your initial reactions I suppose. I have had better experiences elsewhere. I woudl say for a spa it is alright but that's about all.
I went here off the recomendation of a lady friend and sceduled a facial with Miriam. I had no idea that this is what a facial is. I had in my mind that I sit there and someone washes my face. It was more like a spoiling massage fore my face that just so happened to serve a purpose. I'll be a regular at this from now on. I hope any guy reading this will take my advice, Go Now!
I highly recommend Destenee Salon and Spa for great hair styling. I've been a client for over a year now, and Bobbie is the most expert stylist I've ever known. She's also one of the nicest people I know, and is always concerned that customers of Destenee Salon have the best experience possible. I know I can rely on her to keep me looking my best.
Today was my 1st time at Destenee Hair Salon and I loved it! I called today and they got me in with no problem. Unfortunately, I had a horrible experience at another salon and that is what brought me here. Brenda did my hair and listened to exactly what I wanted and helped me out tremendously. The staff was so welcoming and incredibally nice when I left. It made me feel so good! We just mov...
I am staying in the area temporarily and was in search of a good facial. I read all of these reviews and figured I'd give Destenee a try since all reviews were pretty positive. Was thrilled that they could accomodate me quickly and even more delighted when I was assigned to Marianne for my facial. She did an EXCELLENT job and my skin looks and feels fantastic!
I am now going to check them o...
I was looking around the triangle area for a place that offered nice service for a reasonable price and I called several place trying to see if they had free slots for the next day and most of the places laughed and told me I should have called weeks in advance. The Destenee employee that picked up the phone was very nice and helpful. They were able to accommodate me and my friend for two gentlem...
I wanted to find a nice place to get a pedicure and picked this salon after reading the reviews. I called at about 3 o clock and was so pleased that they could fit me in that day! I got lost on the way there but the staff was so friendly on the phone and helped me with directions. The girl that did my pedicure was really helpful in showing me the colors and helping me pick one out. The pedicure w...
I went in today to get a massage, but as it turns out it was a good thing that they were booked up. The owner suggested a gentleman's facial instead. I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Miriam was awesome! that was the most relaxed I'm ever been. I thought they were just going to clean my face, but it was more like a great massage. Guys, give it a try, you'll be suprised at how m...
I was referred to Bobbie by a friend. I have been going to a barber shop for a while and I have been comfortable with that, but they don't do color. I went in to get my grey covered up and she did it perfectly. Since she did such a great job, I decided to request a cut as well. I was completely satisfied with both. Also.....she looks quite a bit better than my barber!
I am going home to get engaged and at the last minute decided I needed a haircut to look my best. I went to Destenee Salon and even though they closed at 6:00, Abby stayed and took care of me. I have always been one to bounce around and get my hair cut wherever was close by at the moment, but not anymore. Not only did she stay late for me, but she took the time to figure out what I wanted and ...
I came to citysearch to find my new salon in my new town and I found it! I walked in and this place blew me away. It is beautiful! There was an elaborate arch way leading to the the salon that I thought was a wonderful touch! Lisa did my hair and cut it perfect, then she took me and washed it too! I thought the price was very reasonable and the service was great. I'll be back!
I am new in town and went to this salon because it is close to my house. I was not pleased with the cut on my first visit so I went back and spoke with the owner and explained what I was not happy about. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't what I had in mind either. She listened to me and sat me down and corrected it. I was very pleased with how she handled it, but then she refunded my money on...
I have been going to Destenne Salon for a long time. I gave a wonderful hair dresser ! TASHA....
She takes great pride in her work and most of all she made my hair grow. I have lupus and felt no one
could help me at all, until I found out about the great hands of tasha. Thanks so much for being there
I've heard about the $10 off from a few girlfriends so we have been talking about trying the salon out. I've since told my friends it's not really worth it! Bobbi did my hair and I feel it was very dated and not worth the higher price compared to other salons! I wanted something trendy and wasn't really happy with what I received. I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I didn't say anything but if...
I have been to see Bobbie on numerous occasions and I always get a great cut and sometimes color. I would highly recommend her to anyone reading this review. She is a great stylist and very charming.
I reluctantly listened to my girlfriend and got a facial. I have received several massages in the past and loved them, but I was still a little apprehensive about a facial. She bought me a gift certificate so I figured that I might as well. GUYS! Let me tell you.....ten times better than a massage! It was so relaxing that I almost went to sleep, but it felt so good that I fought the sleep of...
I just got on here to write a review and I read a few of the other reviews on here. I am one of those cheap people writing a review for my $10 off. I'm not so sure that makes me so cheap since I am writing a true review about a wonderful experience at a classy salon. I had a haircut and color and it came out just like I wanted. I was very pleased and to tell the truth, if not for the $10 of...
I have been to many salons! This is the worst I have ever been to. The owner,Bobby cut my hair and it was AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, she was not friendly at all!!! I think she could tell that I was not pleased and was VERY RUDE!!!!!!!!!! I heard most of her good stylist have left the salon because of her!!!! So I'll tell everyone DO NOT GO THERE!!!! I was very, very, very, unpleased with everything!
My main complaint with this salon is the owner. She is very nice but be careful or she will take advantage of you. I used to be a client of hers until I found out she was overcharging me. She charged me over $100 for highlights with a cap twice(the same price for foils). I only agreed to cap highlighting because she said foils would take too long because my hair is thick. I have since had my hair...
The shop gives customers a discount when they write a good review online here at citysearch and bring it in. So all of these are because of cheap people wanting a $10 discount! I went to get a wax and hair cut... the wax was terrible now I have tons of ingrown hairs, then my hair cut is awful - better paying $10 at hair cuttery.
I have been coming to this shop for several years and have found the most wonderful hair dresser! Abby... She listens to me and she takes pride in her work. Most of all she does wonders with my uncontrollable hair! She controls it. She has a great sense of humor and is always happy. It is a pleasure to come to the salon and have Abby turn my hair into the best hair day!
I have been going to Destenee Salon for about a year, and I get a fabulous haircut. When I first started going, I had just gotten a terrible haircut by a different salon. Bobbie has been cutting my hair since then, and has worked wonders on it. It is healthy and beautiful, not to mention styled the way I love it. I am always so pleased with my haircuts there, and the service is wonderful. It...
I can't tell you how many times I've had that aweful cry-your-eyes-out haircut. I recently moved to Chapel Hill and after my hometown hairdresser has been booked every time I visited home (gosh, wonder why) I was forced to find a hairdresser here in town. I read the reviews and chose Destenee...not just because of the reviews but also because of the price and the professionalism seen in their w...
I was new to North Carolina and really needed a hair cut. I tried another salon in the area that someone recommended and it was a disaster. Destenee Salon is very close to my house and one day I decided to go in and give it a try. My stylist listened to me carefully when I explained the cut and style that I wanted, and when I was finished I was sooooo pleased. Everywhere I go I get compliments...
After moving to Chapel Hill, I have had much trouble finding a good stylist. Then I found Bobbie at Destenee. Finally, a wonderful hair cut! And the salon has such a nice atmosphere; it's spacious, very pretty and brand new inside.
I work out regularly and have been getting a massage weekly at my gym. I had been content there, but on my last appointment the massage therapist there called in sick. I called Destenee Salon and Spa and they were able to fit me in for a same day appointment. Patrick was my massage therapist and it was by far the best massage I ever had. I had the deep tissue and left relaxed and lose. I'll ...
I have what I would call "Difficult hair". I call it that because no matter what I try to make it do, it does what it wants to do anyway. Courtney looked at it and made some suggestions to give me a trendy style working with what it wanted to do. It came out great! Now in the morning I work with my hair instead of against it. I highly recommend this Salon and Courtney to anyone reading this r...
I went to Destenee yesterday and got my hair done by Abby. I wanted something different, something to make a big change. I told Abby some of the things I wanted and she made a few suggestions of her owm to make it easier for me to style on my own. After she cut it, she actually showed me how to style it myself! For the first time ever, I can actually make my hair look the same as it did when ...
I read about ultraglitz on the web and found out that Destenee Salon and Spa offers it. I am pregnant and my doctor told me that I could not have chemicals used on my hair. After my research, I found out that ultraglitz is safe for pregnant women because there is no ammonia. Bobbie did my hair and it actually turned out better than it used to with the foils. I guess I have found my new hair d...
I'm new in town and found this place on here. It is close to the office and I read all of the reviews so I decided to book. I got Bobbie and let me tell you, not only did I get a great haircut, but she washed my hair after and I didn't have to go back to work all itchy. I like this because everywhere else they wash it first. Not to mention the fact that she is REALLY easy on the eyes! Thank ...
I followed my stylist here from another salon in town. Eventually, she bought it. Bobbie does a wonderful job on my hair and is a great friend too. I went in yesterday and the place had a new floor. She told me that there were a few comments on the website mention the decor needed updating. I didn't notice it before, but when I went in, WOW, what a difference. It is truly beautiful. I thin...
Bobbie has been cutting my hair for years, and she does a great job! The rest of my family has started getting haircuts here too.
Been going to Destinee for years and would highly recommend the salon and Tiffany in particular to anyone. I've come to trust them such that I've gone from just trims and cuts to getting some beautiful color that gets me tons of compliments. I've treated myself to a few manicures as well and greatly enjoyed them. Very comfortable, staff is friendly, and service is excellent...I wouldn't go any...
I was in Chapel Hill from out of town and was looking for a massage on short notice and this salon was able to fit me in with about 2 hours notice. When I arrived it was very clean and everyone said hello and was friendly and warm. Holly gave me the best 60 minute massage ever, folowing my instructions and using technique that really left me feeling amazing. The price was reasonable and I will de...
I had my best friend in town for one day only. I was sooooo excited to get to spend some time with her since we both work allll the time, and we had planned to go to a spa for the day. Long story short, a DIFFERENT spa canceled on us the day of. Frantically, I started calling places that might offer everything we had wanted to get that day. Destenee worked us in that day for facials, massages...
I got the Best Haircut I have ever had at Destenee! While looking over the large menu of services I decided to give Botox a try, and what wonderful results! The angry wrinkles are gone!! This salon has it all, and they carry my favorite products (S-Factor, you must try this great line!) This Salon/Spa has a relaxed enviroment with a great staff. It is up-scale without the Snobbie feel. I would re...
I've had long messy hair for the longest time, but started to think it was about time to grow up and get a cleaner, more professional look. I was a bit uneasy at first as this was a big change for me, however the friendly staff at Destenee Salon and Spa took time to listen to my ideas and concerns and make the process as painless as possible! Jennifer presented me with several different style opt...
i dont live here and have waited 5 months to only let abbey touch my hair and ill be honest, it was well worth the wait. she is better then before, friendly nice charming and very good at what she does, which is everything.. everyone is so nice at the salon, they offer you something to drink and are always smiling. its a pleasure to go there always.. im seriously disturbed at someone saying to no...
i came into destenees salon yesterday for a haircut. first of all i was late and no one said anything, they were so nice! my sister asked for a top stylist for a very trendy up to date haircut, and was referred to abbey, so not only is she great by customers standards but her own colleagues know her skills. we took forever getting pictures, used their computer to show them pictures and they wai...
I have been Destenee Salon couple of times. They charge too much for their service even with their coupon and they really don?t do good job on your hair. They are cheating you being nice to you and put fake smiles all the time. I have been very disappointed with this place. I went another great salon here and they listened to me, what I had in mind. They gave me great hair cut and color and they ...
I went here for a facial. It was the first facial I ever had, but now I'm hooked. They had some unique music playing that was very soothing. It had some sounds of nature with some instruments being played. I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep for a moment. If you are reading this review and looking for a relaxing experience I would say go here! I loved it!
Abby is awesome! I tried to color my own hair, but it turned copper and was hideous. I found this place on here printed a coupon, put on a hat and went right in. Abby looked at my hair and told me what she needed to do to fix it. It came out perfect! Thank you for saving me from myself. I will spread the word letting everyone know how good you are!
I was referred here by my cousin. I recently moved down here from Connecticut. I couldn't find anyone down here that could do a taper cut,but I went here and they nailed it. I'm glad he told me about this place because I wa thinking I was going to have to go back to Connecticut just to get a haircut. Thanks guys, I'll be back.
My wife has gone here for quite some time and I have been going to a barbershop. I reluctantly tried this place at my wife's request. She was unhappy with my barbershop style and wanted a fresh look. My concern was paying $25.00 when I'm used to $18.00. It was well worth it. I saw Bobbie who is my wife's stylist as well. The shampoo was worth the extra money alone. I didn't have to itch fo...
I went to Destenee today for a drastic change. I don't get my hair done on a regular basis and was in the mood for a change. Bobbie did my color and cut. I have to say that I can't believe there are any negative comments on here about Destenee as I found everything here wonderful. Bobbie did my color to Perfection and the new cut I absolutely love. I was very nervous about the drastic change...
I go in for what is just a regular men?s cut so accommodating me hasn?t been a problem so far. I was assigned Courtney as my stylist on my first visit and have had her since as she seems to know exactly what type of cut I want without having to get too involved in explanations.. She is always ready to listen to ideas etc. Other than seeming a little rushed sometimes (which may be out of her contr...
This place is OK and deffinetly NOT worth their HIGH prices. On a good note, a glass of wine while been serviced is nice but the the prices are too high and not worth their value. I can go to Raleigh and find much better service, even in Chapel Hill I have been to much nicer and more experienced places. The girls are very sweet but did my nails very unproffessionaly. I would recommend you find so...
I found Destenee salon because I work for Duke and got a discount there. It's always a risk to try to try a new salon b/c you want the perfect fit with your stylist...and i have found just that in Brooke, the only person i trust with my hair now! she is FANSTASTIC-funny, entertaining, talented, does what you ask her to and not what she thinks you should get! the atmosphere there is also very rela...
I am new in town and went to Destenee Salon and Spa after reading the reviews on here. The staff is so friendly and everyone there seemed to care about my experience not just my stylist. I got the best cut and color I ever had. If you get the chance I suggest you go.
I'm a native New Yorker and it has taken me a long time to find the right hair stylist, well I found her at Destenee Salon "Natasha Artis" is the best in NC. I love the atmosphere at the shop, the music is always good and the service is impeccable. Natasha is a very talented hair stylist; whatever I ask her to do she always delivers 110%. She keeps me in the latest hairstyles, my hair is he...
Jena was great, waiting on me when I arived and offered me a beverage, she has a very soft and relaxing voice and touch . Jena was very knowlageble in her feild and I was not afraid to ask questions she made me feel ok about what I din't know about skin i'm a newby and have dry aging skin so she was very kind to come up with a plan that i could afford and slowley add my products , with out feeli...
Destinee Salon was a truly wonderful experience from the friendly staff to the expertise of my stylist, Jennifer. I finally found someone who actually listened to what I wanted and followed through. It is a lovely salon and the visit was so relaxing and enjoyable, complete with a great glass of wine.
I recently moved from NYC to Chapel Hill and wanted to find a Colorist who could match my blond hair. I was VERY happy to find Destenee Salon. They hooked me up with Abby, a young, cheerful and talented Colorist. She did a great job! The salon is colorful, cozy, very relaxing and everyone is friendly. I am definitely going back!!
A couple of things you worry about when moving to a new area is finding a good mechanic and a great hair stylist. I am still looking for that mechanic, but, luckily, I found my stylist. Her name is Abby and I have been a client of hers for the past year. The first time I visited Destenee Spa and Salon, I found the staff friendly, even offering you a beverage...coffee, water, wine...and the sal...
I have been going to Destenee for a few years now. It is always a bit scary to switch to a new salon, but this one is great! I see Bobbie, the owner, for all my haircuts. She always listens to exactly what I want and it ends up better than I had pictured it. She explains all the products she's using and always gives me practical advice for how to keep my haircut and hair type looking great. ...
After having had my hair and skin cared for by Wendell Edwards and Keith Woodlief of Raleigh for many years, when they moved to the coast I was wondering what to do.
Lucky me that I met Courtney Edwards (Wendell's niece!) who introduced me to Destenee Salon and Spa! I am in love with what Courtney has done for my style! It was a somewhat new cut for me - short, kicky (and I can just get out ...
Destenee Spa and Salon has some of the friendliest attendants that I have ever met. I am a regular customer and they always seem genuinely happy to see me. They keep my hair looking good, to the point of getting many compliments from my family and acquaintances. I would highly recommend them to anyone who values quality service, timeliness, and customer responsiveness.
Margaret Overton
They are courteous both on the phone and in person. At many salons they push purchasing expensive hair products, here they offer suggestions and do not force you to take them. They are genuinely interested in giving you what you want, what will work best for your lifestyle and what will look best on you.
It had been almost three years since I had had a good stylist. Having come to Chapel Hill from New Orleans several years ago, I made several attempts to get my hair done up here, with disastrous results. I actually tried myself, which only made things worse. I walked in to Destenee for a "color consult" and was fortunate to speak with a "young" (see previous review) but not inexperienced stylist....
My mom used to take me to a children's hair salon because I don't like hair cuts and at the kids place they are used to crying children. Now she takes me to Jennifer at Destenee and I don't mind getting my haircut at all.
I even cooperate and Jennifer is way cool, so is my hair.
I've had my hair done by Bobbie (who now owns Destenee) for over 10 years. She's extremely talented, friendly and service oriented. The salon itself has definitely improved since she became the owner. she continues to look for new services to add. I also like the e-mail appointment reminders which are sent the day before a scheduled appointment.
I've had the same hairstylist for years and followed her to Destenee Salon. My entire family goes to Bobbie . She is great about listening to what I want and offering suggestions. Her haircuts are stylish and perfectly cut for my type of hair. She has a friendly staff around her and the atmosphere is professional and fun. Every time I go she has a new product to show me with no pressure t...
Last November I was desperate to get in to see my regular massage therapist but she was out of town. I called around until I found an opening with Holly at Destenee. Man, was I lucky!! I fly a lot and have a nagging exercise related shoulder injury. It is really tough to find therapists who can dig deep enough to help me. Holly is amazing. I have seen her twice now and both times it was absolutel...
I love Destenee Salon and Spa. I love the service and the warm way they greet you when you walk through the door. I especially love my stylist, Natasha. She has been pampering my hair for over two years now. I have regular appointments with Natasha every other Thursday morning. She knows my hair and the products that make my hair healthy and look good. I get compliments on my hair all the time. A...
Tiffany's been coloring, cutting, and styling my hair for a couple of years now. I trusted Tiffany's suggestions and have been extremely pleased with the results. She's an official Matrix-trained color expert and my hair color has never looked more natural. I can go many weeks between visits because the cut is always flawless. It's really hard to find a good stylist in the Triangle... I've lived...
Courtney is the best stylist who has ever cut my hair. I went from a very long style to a very short style and have never been happier with my hair. She listened to what I wanted and made great suggestions. I have been back to her a few times and have been happy every single time. She's even colored my hair and it turned out perfect. I would recommend anyone to Courtney. It is well worth a ...
The girls were sweet, but were so young and inexperienced. I got my hair cut and it was just average. It didn't grow in with the right lengths and it was very choppy. I was scheduled for a manicure and they couldn't do a french because they didn't know how. They are very nice, but I am used to stylest with cutting edge. These girls might be better for someone who likes very simple haircuts or tr...
I'm really glad I found Destenee Salon! Just had my second Brazilian there with Jenna, and her technique is second to none. If a Brazilian could be said to ever be easy, Jenna's would qualify. Her after-care instructions and advice are excellent, and she's very personable and professional. The only caveat I offer is when scheduling: both of the times I have made appointments, mistakes were made -...
After commuting this past year to NYC to get my hair style, I decided to be kind to my pocketbook and looked for a salon in town. I have not had much CONTINUED luck in the area. After reading several reviews on citysearch I decided to give Destenee Salon a try. I was assigned to Christian and I am so happy with the pairing. He used to work in NYC and then moved down here a few years ago. He is cl...
LADIES! If u need a virtually pain-free waxing, go 2 Destenee and ask 4 Jenna...i have never experienced a painless brasillian bikini wax, but she is as close as it gets!! The 'quickest-ripper' Ive met thus far! I am going to get my hair done on New Years Eve...will review after but i trust that she'll do a great job seeing as my boyfriend goes there all the time!!
I highly recommend this salon to anyone!!!!! I for one am always very nervous before getting my hair done, mainly because I have never truely been satisfied with the end result. Well after my recent visit to Destenee Salon my nerves were definately put to ease. My hairstylist Christian was amazing!!!!! He could tell that i was worried and not sure about what I wanted done, so he talked with me f...
I just wanted to say that the team at Destenee Salon and Spa (especially Abby) are the best around. I have never felt more relaxed and comfortable then at Destenee. Thanks again for the great customer service and more importantly the great haircut! JR
I can't live without this salon now. Bobbie, the owner gave me a new hairstyle and I really feel great-it has boosted my self confidence and it looks great. I feel so comfortable here and everyone that works there is soo friendly. I feel like I'm part of the family. The facials there are great too. My esthetician, Miriam works
wonders on my face and gives me individual treatment in accord wit...
My experience at Destenee salon was wonderful!! Let me just say, I am very picky about my hair.
I had a full highlight and my hair has never looked or felt better! The stylist gave me a great cut!! I think it is the best haircut I have ever had!! I'm all ready for my holiday parties!! They turned me on to a new product called Logics DNA Age revitilize shampoo and conditioner. My mom used...
I have been to a lot of salons looking for someone that can get my color right. As anyone knows, its hard to find someone that can do your hair the way YOU want it. My stylist name was Christian, and let's just say that he is not at all what I expected! I'll leave the surprise for you. ; ) The most important thing is he talked to me before we did my hair. He ACTUALLY listened to what I had t...
I had highlights here and they did not turn out well. He didn't do what I wanted and he missed an entire section. I was not happy with the results at all! Also, be advised that the price listed online is not necessary the price that you will be charged. I was charged $40 MORE then I was expecting..even with the first time customer coupon. Make sure to ask when you make the appointment how much th...
I went to this salon for the first time to get my hair cut for the 'locks of love' program. I was thinking they'd just cut it off at the necessary length, and as long as it's straight, I'm there. I also figured that, after not cutting my hair for 3 years, I owed myself the a good cut and style. I'd never met Abbey before, but she did a GREAT job cutting my hair. I got more excited as she cut, bec...
I found this salon on here and decided to go in because of the coupon on here. My stylist was Jennifer, I didn't request her, but I guess I just got lucky. She did a beautiful job. I got soooo many compliments.... I just love it! My color was exactly what i wanted!
Tiffany cut my hair and did an EXCELLENT job. I LOVE my haircut! And I highly recommend her. She is a great stylist.
I am new to the area and came to the salon based on the other revies. Sadly, my experience was not the same and I cannot recommend it based on my experience. I was getting a mani / pedi before going on a date night with my husband, so I was excited to go somewhere that would offer me a high quality treatment. When I settled in for my pedicure, the woman was rougher than I've experienced before es...
I am writing this because Destenee Salon and Spa has far exceeded me and my wife?s goals and expectations. The atmosphere, prices, and excellent service is well worth the 25 plus mile trip.
A friend recommended them for a massage and the experience and concern of the massage therapist truly impressed me. He wasn?t concerned about providing a quick fix to my problem - it was about finding out ...
Have driven by the salon many times and thought about stopping. I am so thrilled that I finally did and I have a new place for all my salon and spa needs. I got great high-lights and a cut that is fabulous!! The staff is friendly and professional but most of all I received a quality cut and high-lights that are truly natural looking. I no longer need to "wait" to see my sister's colorist in the P...
If you like warm and friendly staff, with quality services this is "your" salon.
Personally, what I really like is that this salon is very clean. I know this is also very important to the owner Bobbie and I always feel very comfortable here.
I usually get just a cut, but I have tried some of the other services and have been very pleased. As far as my cut; I cannot get a better one anywhere!...
I just moved to the area, and was looking for a place where I could do one stop shopping for Hair, Nails, Facials, and Massage. I FOUND IT! I came in for a facial and massage and it was wonderful. When I walked in the door I was instantly offered a glass of wine which was just what I needed at the end of a long day of work. Hollie, the massage therapist, greeted me with a smile and had a consul...
I found this place on Citysearch and was desperate for a last minute massage;it had great reviews and great locations.. I was shocked when i walked in...not very spa like at all. more like an old fashioned "beauty salon". they just so happened to be offering a "client appreciation free peel", and the staff person who was offering the "Free Service" kept pressuring me to do it; while I was in th...
I cannot say enough good things about Tiffany at Destenee Salon and Spa! Tiffany has been cutting and styling my hair for about four years and I am never disappointed...in fact, I am always incredibly pleased. Each time as I arrive with my thick, wavy hair seriously overdue for maintenance, I am immediately greeted and impressed by the pleasant staff and professional environment. I have never ...
I read the reviews about how pretty it was, but when I walked in it still took my breath away. I was given some wine as soon as I got in the reception area and then they led me back to the spa area where I was introduced to Hollie. He gave me a 60 deep tissue massage. It was teriffic. I'm not sure how, but she knew exactly where I was tense and where to work. I didn't even have to tell her. ...
I found this Salon on Citysearch I called and scheduled an appointment for the next day. When I got there everyone was very friendly and I was given a bottle of water. (It had their Logo on it, nice touch) The owner came over and welcomed me to the salon. I have been other places for my haircuts before, but I never felt like anyone except the person cutting my hair, cared if I was there. I ...
I recently had a not so great experience at this salon and posted a review here. I was not happy with my haircut, although the salon and the people there were so great. Once the Owner read my review she immediately contacted me and offered to make thing right. I took her up on that offer and she went above and beyond my expectations! I was able to get my hair cut again with Tiffany (who was f...
I have been a long standing client of Brooke. She is an awesome stylist and I have never left unhappy. My last trip Brooke intruduced me to Kim for a consultation for a facial. I had never had a facial before, but I will certainly have one again soon. I was completely pampered and my skin looked great. I would highly recommend this place for both services.
I heard about it through a friend, and I can honestly say it was the best choice I ever made! Everyone there is so friendly! This is the place to go for quality Hair results and excellent service!!!
I havent used all of the spa services here, but the stylists are wonderful. Everyone is very complimentary and the service is wonderful. The environment is good and so are the prices. Im not one to spend a lot on myself pampering, but Intaglio runs specials that make it affordable enough to splurge every so often. And its worth it, I always feel good walking out of there.
