Our Favorite Local Services

Where's the best place for kids' haircuts?

  • The Body Cafe (3400 Westgate Drive, Durham) Cheri would be good--she has kids herself.
  • Capelli Hair Studio (401-A West Weaver Street, Carrboro)
  • Eastgate Barber & Style Shop (Eastgate Shopping Center, Chapel Hill)
  • Fantastic Sam's (202 W NC Highway 54 Durham; near Fayetteville Road intersection). You get a certificate after your first visit.
  • Great Clips for Hair (Chapel Hill North Shopping Center, 1814 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd). $8.00, but the cut depends on the person you get.
  • JJ's Kids Cuts (two locations: North Ridge Shopping Center, 6136 Falls of the Neuse Road, Raleigh, or Maynard Crossing Shopping Center, 1235 NW Maynard Road, Cary)
  • Marley's Hair Design (205 West Main Street, Carrboro). My daughter loves going there. They are very patient and our hairdresser keeps Sarah entertained by squirting water in her mouth. She is also allowed to sweep up her hair afterward with her own little broom and of course, gets a lollipop!
  • Snip-its (8411 Brier Creek Parkway, Ste. 103, Raleigh). Great place for kids hair cuts and glamor parties for girls.

Where is the best place for mom or dad to get a haircut?

  • Laurie at the Beehive (102 East Weaver Street, Carrboro). Expensive but good
  • The Body Cafe (3400 Westgate Drive, Durham). For extra they do a head and neck massage-- *sigh* :)
  • Capelli Hair Studio (401-A West Weaver Street, Carrboro)
  • Day Spa 255 (255 South Elliott Road, Chapel Hill)

  • Mina's Studio (400 South Elliott Road, Chapel Hill)
  • Mitchell's Hair Styling (University Mall, Chapel Hill; Northgate and Southpoint malls, Durham)
  • Moshi Moshi (416 West Franklin Street, Chapel Hill). Catlin is very good, but schedule your appointment well in advance since she often gets booked very quickly.
  • Eric at Studio R (5504 Chapel Hill Blvd., Durham). VERY EXPENSIVE but the best.

What's the best place to get your child's photo taken?

  • JC Penney (Southpoint Mall, Durham)
  • Lundie's Photography Studio (1265 Buck Jones Road, Raleigh)
