About

Creative Layers was established in 2013 as a storefront salon with two people working in it. The salon is located on the corner of W. Morehead St. and Church St., underneath The Carson, a building formerly known as the Loft 135 apartments. Customer parking is in the parking garage off Church St.

The salon describes itself as a premium, adult-only hair salon, and services are limited to clients 18 and older. It is appointment-only, with no walk-ins. Online booking is open 24 hours a day through Vagaro, and new clients must book under the New Clients option.

A visit usually starts with a complimentary consultation, which is recommended for new clients and before any hair coloring. Clients are asked to bring inspiration photos. Stylists talk through the look based on the client's inspiration, skin tone, face shape and daily hair routine, and offer styling and product guidance based on hair texture, porosity and overall style.

The salon specializes in layered haircuts, hair coloring, highlighting, blonding, balayage and lived-in color. It describes balayage as its most popular service, and it can be painted for a sun-kissed look, foiled for brighter results, or done both ways. Corrective color for major changes, such as black to blonde, may take more than one appointment.

Haircuts are priced by cut type. Women's layered cuts are tailored to hair texture, face shape and chosen style, with optional curtain bangs, framing layers or a low frame. Men's cuts include clipper cuts with guards for tapered sides and scissor-cut tops, or shears-cut layers, each with a scalp massage shampoo and styling.

Consultations and styling guidance are shaped around each client's inspiration, features and hair texture, and stylists are trained in the salon's own method for layered cutting.

A minimalist, upscale interior with a calm feel.
