We want to find the right haircuts for you, even if you aren’t sure what you want!
Haircuts can be tricky. You may think that you want to try a look that you’ve seen on one of your friends or in a magazine. You may have brought a picture to a salon and walked out with that cut but still been disappointed. You’re not the only one who has been burned like this before! Haircuts require a lot of things including skills, talent and a fair amount of artistry. Whether you know exactly what you want or have no clue, we here at Salon Povera want to be your knowledgeable guide through the somewhat treacherous pages of hair magazines!
When you come to Salon Povera for a haircut, you’ll experience a different type of salon. We don’t just take your photo, give you the haircut and then send you on your way! Instead, we will take the time to figure out what it is that is appealing about haircuts or styles that you like and take the process from there. By taking the time to get to know our clients a little better before using the scissors, we are able to give each of them the star treatment during their service. We can offer you advice on what would look good with your own face, head shape, and even the type of hair that you have. By giving each of our clients a more personalized approach, we know they will leave the salon feeling confident and strong.
The work is exceptional.
“Patrick makes the client feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. My wife and daughter both swear by Patrick, and he gives them great reasons to do so. The work is exceptional, the atmosphere is soothing, and they come back home happy. If I had hair, Patrick would cut it.”

I feel amazingggg!!! Katie did an amazing job cutting off about 8 inches of my hair and styling it to perfection. I love the vegan products they use as well!

Tice listened to me and translated through her experience an excellent cut. I have a goal, know that no matter what I do the look relies on the strength of the cut, and she will see that cut is the best to get me to my goal. I rely on her to give guidance along the way and suggestions for alternative paths if needed. Gloe Dyne

Skye colored my hair today. I needed to get rid of my grays and wanted to go darker. My grays are now gone and my hair is a pretty shade of brown. I felt like Skye was really attentive to my hair. She also cleaned it up for me. I look forward to seeing how my hair does these next few weeks.

I got a haircut and a balayage with Katie, which went well. Initially I wasn't as happy with how it turned out but Katie and the other team members were very nice, understanding, and accommodating. Katie listened to my requests and immediately addressed them, after which I was very happy with my haircut and my color. Katie and the rest of the team members went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the haircut and the experience in their salon. As a bonus I got great suggestions about things to do for my vacation from Patrick. Overall, would highly recommend this salon.

Patrick is a color magician and will make sure you’re taken care of! I switch colors all the time and love being platinum. He makes it happen! I also like how he’s always talking with his staff and coaching them in their craft. Ie. Ways to accomplish this color for this type of hair, cutting techniques, etc. Whether you’re being seen by him or one of his staff, you’ll be taken care of and receive a quality outcome at a reasonable price. He’s also a great person to get to sit and talk to while you’re getting your hair done!

Tice is amazing!!! After box coloring my hair for many years the color was no longer what I wanted (too dark) and I wanted to go back to my natural color.Tice was great and took on the challenge! It was a long process as she took great care in getting rid of my “chocolate cherry” hair color so my hair would not be damaged. I absolutely love it! I trust her wholeheartedly with whatever recommendations she makes for my hair.Tice also did an awesome job cutting my hair. I tried several salons since moving to NC 6 years ago and was not happy ~ but Tice…. She HEARD me and really listened to my vision of what I wanted my hair to look like and I LOVE IT!The staff are very friendly and welcoming and I love the family bantering that goes on with the stylists and owner Patrick. Very relaxed atmosphere!!I am so happy I found this salon <3

Subzero cryotherapy for my seriously dry hair! Highlights and a perm did some damage and these guys fixed it! Basically like brand new hair from a baby horse! All for a super reasonable price! Love these guys! Will be back soon ❤❤❤

Thank you, Skye, for what might have been the best haircut I’ve ever had in my life! Skye didn’t just blindly give me the haircut I showed her photos of- she asked questions about my hair type and lifestyle, and then tailored my desired haircut to my specific needs and hair type. I was left with a cut that looks amazing with or without styling, and really fits me as a person! I have tried many times over the years to get this exact haircut at many salons, but never left feeling 100% satisfied. Skye is the first person that got it exactly right and totally understood what I was asking for! She also washed/styled my hair with amazing high end products.The salon itself is small but doesn’t feel cramped, and all the stylists seem to have a friendly, talkative, down to earth energy. I got very lucky and they were able to fit me in super last minute on Memorial Day weekend after they had a last-minute cancellation, which I was so grateful for! The prices are on par with other high end salons (my haircut was $60)- 100% worth it for a haircut that was tailored to me, looks effortlessly gorgeous, and from a stylist who has perfected their craft. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I am forever a fan of Tice. I doubt I will ever go to another salon! I recently moved to the area and had my hair done elsewhere (before I learned of Tice’s awesome work!) I didn’t love the color that I had (a bit orange!) and Tice did an amazing job fixing my color. She was INCREDIBLE. It’s just the shade I wanted and had the right highlights and shading. She even stayed late because it took longer than what I originally booked. She is EXCELLENT at coloring and I highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and truly the best of the best!

I went in to buy a specific product I had heard about online that they happened to carry. I have never been to this salon before but when I went I was immediately greeted and helped. The owner helped me select the right product for me and was so so friendly! I cannot speak to their services but the customer service was amazing!

Great staff. Fun environment. Great location. Clean and professional experience with all the Southern Salon Charm you would expect. First haircut since lockdown and Skye strategized, then cut and styled my new look almost intuitively while walking this previous "crew-cutter" through the care and future maintenance of my now longer locks. Highly recommended and her experience shows with the final "soap opera hair" outcome (that's a good thing).

They are just simply amazing!! I do not have enough nice things to say about Tice. She did just an amazing job fixing my hair from a previous bad hair coloring. She was able to completely transform my hair and achieve the exact look I was going for, though it was a drastic transformation. Both Patrick and Tice are fun, warm and made me feel so comfortable. Their communication via phone and email is amazing, and quick. The salon is clean and all staff wear masks, gloves. 100% recommend them.

I love my hair! This is the best place I have gone too! Brittney Tice was the one who did my hair and she is so amazing and patient! She left my hair exactly how I wanted and so beautiful and soft. I completely trust them with my hair and will only be going here from now on. The atmosphere is very nice and the rest of the stylists' are super sweet and awesome at what they do as well. 10/10 experience!

Very careful to take COVID-19 precautions. Customers wait outside and the stylist takes their temps with a remote gun. Excellent ventilation system inside.

Skye is a wizard! She knew exactly how to cut and style my hair, taking into account things like natural texture, volume, and hair growth direction. My hair has never looked or felt so good, and Skye was so friendly as she worked through it with me, showing me along the way how to style at home. She is so kind and SO amazing with hair. I will be going to her from now on!

Skye. Is. Amazing!! She is the one hairstylist that we’ve been looking for all these years! Her genuine care towards taking care of your hair’s health, cut, color, style is second to none! Her recommendations of hair products are exactly what we’ve been looking for! She gives my daughter and I helpful hints in keeping our hair looking like we walked out of the salon daily until our next visit with her! Thank you Skye for your transformational touch of excellence! See you soon!

I really love my hair! Nice people, very good professionals, clean place, following all the covid-19 care and instructions. 5 stars no doubt!!! Fyi: I got a balayage full or partial, not sure, and yes, you can't see much but that's how I wanted. Just some chocolate color, since I never colored my hair before hahaThanks to Erika! 🙏

Hands down one of the best salons I have been to on the east coast. So glad to have found my go-to salon in Durham. Went there first for a haircut and then balayage. Patrick is a sweetheart and I couldn't have been happier with the services. Highly recommend it!

Tricia is AMAZING. I went to Salon Povera after getting a horrible haircut somewhere else. Tricia was able to work with it and give me the cutest haircut ever. I have curly hair, so sometimes it's difficult to find someone who knows their way around curls, but Tricia knew what she was doing and guided me through what products she used and gave me some styling ideas. This is definitely my new salon, I'll recommend it to everyone!
