Thanks, Bill F., for the review and recommendation. I have been overdue for a haircut for a… Read more »
I went with the yelp review flow and made an appointment with Mariana.
Best choice ever!
I made the move to Charlotte a month ago and had no clue on where to go for a haircut. I needed a fresh new look and my medusa tresses just were not cutting it. I've always gone to my regular stylist and trying someone new kinda made me nervous.
Mariana was amazing! she knows her stuff, has great people skills, and she took her time to make sure I was happy with the cut. I got a new look, and new stylist
Thanks to these amazing Yelp reviews on Mariana, I got myself a great cut at a great price.
I don't know where should I go for haircut so I thought, since Charlotte is quite near my place, why not give them a try. This was my first haircut and so far, the service is quite good. I love my new haircut, they were able to give my hair more volume and texture as requested.
I went again last week (my second visit since I wrote my first review, third overall). The second time I had Marianna. The third time I had Marianna. She is my gal! So friendly and so gosh darn good!

WOW!
I think I just found my new local cuttery. I was at work today, trying to be productive… Read more »
Thanks to fellow Yelpers, I gave this salon and Mariana a try for my long-overdue haircut. Before I start repeating a lot of what others have already said, readers of this review should put some stock in the consistency of the four, now five reviews of this salon and this stylist. Five different people over the course of six months have all had good experiences here!
Salon is located just a couple of doors down from the Polka Dot Bakery (not one of my favorites!) and close to Total Wine. Easy access from Park Road and Woodlawn Road and plenty of free parking. Decor is minimalist and today was apparently Latin music day - energetic and happy and I couldn't understand a word of it.
Mariana's service was outstanding! The shampoo was the most relaxing I've ever had in a salon. Don't tell the management, but they could sell that service alone and charge for it! Mariana took her time with the cut to make sure it was done just right and to my liking. She even asked how much or how little I want to fuss with my hair every day - the answer made an impact on exactly how she did the cut. Who wouldn't want great results with low daily maintenance?
Because of an earlier Yelp comment, I came prepared to pay the tip in cash. But when I was presented with my credit card charge slip to sign, there was a space to add the tip to the credit card so perhaps this has now changed.
I like this salon and I really like this stylist! So go (they take walk ins) and go often. I want them to stay in business. I was a little scared because at 12 noon on a Monday, Mariana and I were the only ones in the place! She did say the place had been a zoo over the holidays so perhaps it was just my timing. Price for shampoo, cut and blow dry style was $30 plus a tip - very reasonable for Charlotte.
I was in Charlotte for a wedding and my mom and I wanted to have our hair washed & blown out beforehand. Thanks to yelp I found Cutting Image and was so excited to go! Sarah and Liz did a great job. We received many compliments and our hair withstood the day's humidity. Sarah even gave me a few tips I could use at home...all for $20!
Thank you, yelpers!
I moved to Charlotte in January, and here it was October, and I was still heading to Richmond every time I needed my hair cut. I was afraid to change stylists. I have short hair, and if it's not done right, I'm left looking like a fat school boy from the 1960s . I needed to commit to someone closer to home. So, in an effort to prove my love and trust of Yelp, I made the leap, and chose Cutting Image Salon based solely on Yelp reviews. I made a hair appointment with Mariana, since 2 Yelpers had reviewed her so highly.
I got an appointment for 2 days from when I called, which I thought was great. I arrived, and even though I had to wait a little bit (less than 10 min), I was glad I got to see the haircut before me leave--it was adorable! What a relief!
Mariana is as adorable as the hairstyles she creates! She is very spunky, and was able to size up what I was looking for pretty quickly. I left looking and feeling fantastic, and so did my wallet! This was one of the cheapest haircuts I have ever gotten at the low price of $25-30 (I also bought product, so I am not exactly sure). I have already scheduled my next appointment.
After having the cut for a week or so now, I still find it easy to style.
I had a *great* experience at Image Salon and will return as long as I live in Charlotte.
My boyfriend has been getting his hair cut at Image Salon since he moved to Charlotte. He goes once every two or three weeks and has been equally impressed with the different stylists that have cut his hair.
So one afternoon I decided to get my hair cut after him. My stylist Mariana has a bubbly outgoing funky personality. My only stipulation with my hair is that I have to be able to push it behind my ears - other than that I let the stylist do whatever they want. Mariana gave me a fun edgy bob and I left the salon with one of the best stylings I've ever had.
For me conversation with stylists is typically forced and uncomfortable. Mariana has a funny quirky personality that puts you at ease. Interspersed in our conversation she gave me great tips on how to style my hair.
The atmosphere of the salon is laid back and fun - its modern but not trendy and the stylists don't have the "I'm too cool" attitude that so many do
.
The total for shampoo (with a gentle head massage!), cut and style was *just* $25 - far cheaper than what I've paid salons in the past. I definitely will schedule an appointment with Mariana for my next haircut.
*Note - if you want to tip your stylist make sure you bring cash since the salon doesn't permit you to put the tip on your credit card.*
Right next door to Sushi 101, and they accept walk-ins. Men's cuts are $20. That's inexpensive compared to other salons around town and if you're tired of getting your hair botched with random experiences at lower end barbers and cutterys it's worth the upgrade. Remember to tip 15 to 20% especially when going to a salon. Just like at a restaurant, the person who takes care of you will definitely appreciate it and you still haven't spent the base price at higher end salons. And I haven't experienced a friendlier atmosphere anywhere.
Thank you, thank you Yelpers for recommending Cutting Image Salon and Mariana!! I have not had my hair cut in over a year and so naturally, I was very nervous about getting it chopped off by a stranger. But, Mariana was awesome! She helped me relax and we had a nice, casual conversation while she went to work on my hair. 11 inches later....I have a new rockin' haircut and a new permanent stylist. She made it look effortless and all I had to do was tell her what I wanted (some layers) and what I didn't want (too short, boyish haircut). She didn't go overboard and didn't force me into a style I didn't want. Long story short, she is great and I recommend her and this salon to anyone looking for a new stylist and a snazzy haircut. Prices are so, so reasonable ($25 for cut and style, plus tip) and no one will ever know you didn't spend a ridiculous amount at an overpriced, Uptown salon. Works for me!
i have gone to Cutting Image about three times so far and I will continue to go back. i also go to mariana to get my hair cut and she does a phenomenol job, one of the best cuts i have ever had. i have payed over $60 for a haircut and this is still the best hair cut, i love it. don't be scared by the minimalist interior (i know i was when i first arrived)
