Hair Salons in Monroe

Unlike flat arches or a propensity to yell at the TV, hair color is one of the traits over which people can boldly assert their control. With today's Groupon, $35 gets you $75 worth of services at HairColorXperts, home to talented stylists that craft and tint your 'do to your liking, even if you're not sure what your liking is due to recent exposure to amnesia gas.

Ladies who are bored with the crew cut their Army barber gives them every week can try a new look with today's Groupon. For $20, new clients get a haircut, blow-dry, and styling at Cirrus Salon (a $40+ value). Call ahead to schedule an appointment, since old-timey director's megaphones are getting pricier on eBay every day.

Over the course of 30 years, Paragon Salon has earned the trust of Charlotte's leading scalps with its salon services, especially in the realm of highlights ($90+) that add the sort of depth to hair usually found only in French existentialist salons. Paragon's wide array of services includes women's cut and style ($48+) and men's cut and style ($30+), as well as special-occasion styling ($60+). Paragon's staff of skilled follicular sculptors is also dedicated to providing clients with take-home hairstyles that can be duplicated within the comforts of their own high-security compounds using only a comb and a microwave oven.

City Barbers' friendly staff at Uptown and Highland Creek specializes in the shearing, shaving, and four-part harmony expected of an authentic, old-time haircuttery, while using technology and sports to lure the most modern of men. Each workstation is equipped with its own flat-screen TV and comfortable black-leather chair, making it easy for clients to imagine what it'd be like getting a professional-quality haircut at home. The haircut will be performed by a skilled pair of scissors wielded by a skilled hand, then topped off with a complimentary straight-razor neck shave that will leave your skin feeling as smooth as a well-oiled fire truck.

The licensed massage therapist at Volume Salon kneads muscles with well-honed bodywork techniques in an edgy, upscale environment. During the Swedish massage, a therapist's skilled hands traverse muscular terrain with long, fluid strokes to release tension, ease aches, and stimulate circulation. Active and passive joint movements help to emend stiff hinges more effectively than rolling in bicycle grease, while the overarching aim of the therapy is to relax the body, improve health and wellness, and diminish physical and mental stresses. Hot stones supplement kneading by penetrating multiple layers of tissue to relieve muscles of deep-seated pain and deeper-seated snow demons.

Four of Fuze Salon's stylists have more than a decade of experience, and Artistic Director Chip Perry has spent more than two decades in the business. Perry spent time as a national performing artist for Redken and specialized in teaching corrective color at the Redken Exchange, so it’s no surprise the salon uses ammonia-free Redken Chromatics dye as its go-to. Like Fievel Mousekewitz, his journey to happiness began with petty theft. His online biography describes how he would commandeer his neighbors' dolls as a child and "spend hours trying to twist the two inches of fiber into different shapes.” Now, he styles brides and men's cuts with equal dexterity, and keeps his hands busy raising two dogs, contributing to the boards of two charitable organizations, and rallying the community around philanthropic drives and walks.
