About

It Takes Tallent has been operating in Charlotte since 2002 and is known for color and cutting.

The salon describes itself as warm and fun while taking the hair work seriously. Its portfolio shows before-and-after cuts, including long layers for thin hair and an asymmetrical pixie.

Color services run from a $60 hair glossing treatment and a $65 root retouch on new growth to a $75 face framing highlight, a $95 full all-over color, a $150 color pop or fashion color and a $180 balayage, with listed times from 30 to 150 minutes. Smoothing and straightening treatments start at $75, a blowout starts at $55, and a hair and scalp detox starts at $70 and takes 40 minutes, with a four-step massage and scrub of the scalp and hair.

Men's cuts start at $35 and take an hour, and a beard trim and shape-up is $30. New clients booking a men's cut pay a $10 deposit, and a men's cut membership is $30 per month, which the salon says saves $5 compared with the regular price. Waxing covers chin, ear, nostril, upper lip and eyebrows, with a facial waxing package for $30. Clients are asked to stop retinoid use at least 7 days before eyebrow, chin, upper lip or facial waxing.

Extension services include a $10 consultation and tape-in applications and move-ups, priced by the salon according to the work. Bridal clients can book a $10 hair consultation. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment. A 10% cancellation fee applies to no-shows and to cancellations within 48 hours of the rescheduled appointment, unless another client books the space.
