About

Salon 42 opened in 2008 with its first location in Dilworth. Owners Jason Viers and Cara Viers later added a Southpark salon in 2012, and the business now operates in Dilworth, Southpark, Ballantyne and Strawberry Hill. Jason Viers serves as owner and creative director, Cara Viers as owner and president, and Kathy Lotierzo as general manager.

According to the salon, the team has more than 30 years of experience in professional hair design. The salon credits that expertise to time spent at Bumble and Bumble (New York), Unite Hair Care (San Diego) and the Redken Fifth Avenue location. It also reports that its stylists have presented on stage at hair shows nationwide and have designed hair for movie sets.

Cuts for men, women and children are offered at stylist levels, and adult cuts and barber cuts are priced according to the level of the stylist. The listed prices are starting prices for the entry level, and a consultation can confirm the price for a given appointment.

Texture services include permanent waves, keratin and Brazilian blowouts, and keratin and Brazilian straightening. Those treatments require a consultation and a deposit before booking. Hair extensions are also priced by consultation, and the salon offers blow-dry packages at a reduced rate per blow-dry service.

Wedding services include bridal trial hair, hair for the bride, bridal party hair and a shampoo and style for wedding day. Wedding bookings require a 50% deposit and should be reserved at least six months ahead. Dress rehearsal hair is usually reserved six to eight weeks before the wedding, and rehearsal appointments run one hour each. Requests outside normal business hours are quoted per occasion through the salon's wedding email address.

The salon runs The Mane Event, a hair show that it describes as one of Charlotte's premier hair shows, and says a portion of its proceeds goes to Dove's Nest, a women's program of Charlotte Rescue Mission. Gift cards are sold on the salon's website.

The salon says it focuses on custom hair designs for each client and describes a high-touch experience, with continuing education for its team.

The salon describes itself as a hair destination with a warm and inviting atmosphere.
