About HairCraft Studios

HairCraft Studios is an alternative hair salon located at 1189 W Chatham St in Cary, North Carolina, staffed by a team of eight stylists: Eliza Hirst, Cassie Jo, Alexis Stallings, Max Balcom, Carleigh Dahmen, Ashlee Ragano, Sierra Lipe, and Mika Bankes. The studio bills itself as a welcoming, homey space that brings together clients and stylists into what it calls a "coven," emphasizing community and creativity over a typical clinical salon experience. Services include creative and vivid color work, precision haircuts and styling, hair extensions, and a range of other hair treatments, with particular attention paid to gender-affirming hair services for clients transitioning or exploring their gender expression. HairCraft Studios is explicit about its values, maintaining a community commitment page on its site that details its support for the Black Lives Matter movement, the LGBTQIA+ community, and Palestine, positioning the salon as a space where clients can expect their stylist to share those commitments. The shop rounds out its atmosphere with small touches like a curated Spotify playlist meant to set the mood during appointments. Beyond serving clients, HairCraft Studios actively recruits stylists who share its inclusive philosophy, framing the salon as both a business and a community for people who want an alternative to conventional salon culture. The studio is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closing on Mondays. Clients can reach the front desk by phone or text at 919-455-4149 or by email at [email protected].
