About

Knockout has two studios: one at Mallard Creek in Charlotte and one in Concord. The salon says its Concord studio is where it all started. It describes itself as an inclusive, gender-neutral hair space and as not an average salon, with no ego.

The salon works with curly hair, loc maintenance, wig installs, and razor cuts, and it also offers vivid color, shags, mullets, and lived-in modern cuts. New guests can book a general consultation to talk through what to book and get an estimate of service cost. The consultation fee is credited toward any service booked afterward, though a consultation alone does not leave enough time to complete a service.

New curly-hair guests can book a New Guest Session or New Guest Curly Cut, which includes hair clarification, curl rehab, a curly cut, any needed treatments, and curl definition. Returning guests are invited back two to four months after that first session. New haircut guests are asked to submit a virtual consultation before booking. Hair should arrive down, detangled, fully dry, and with minimal product; buns, braids, tangles, and puffs are not accepted.

Pricing is based on each stylist's hourly rate multiplied by the service time, and the price shown is the price paid. Tipping is included, and there is no color charge or credit card fee, so cash and card customers pay the same price. Blonding often takes several sessions.

Booking is recommended, since stylists may not be in without appointments. Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice, with a late-cancel fee of 50% of the service cost and a no-show charge of the full appointment cost. Guests who arrive more than 10 minutes late may need to reschedule, which counts as a late cancellation. Booking confirmations go out 48 hours ahead by email or text. Issues with a service must be raised within a week, and refunds are not given for services rendered. Retail products may be exchanged within 60 days in like-new condition.

The salon describes an inclusive, no-frills setting focused on hair care for every texture, with stylists who specialize in different areas.

The salon describes itself as an inclusive, gender-neutral hair space.
