  • Carleigh is *the* hair fairy. I showed her a few pics of what I had always wanted my hair to look like and she made it even better. My hair is healthier than it’s ever been & she’s just an amazing person to conversate with! Highly recommend!

  • I’ve been getting my hair done with Carleigh for two years now, and I NEVER regret driving 40 minutes to be in her chair! Since day 1, Carleigh has always been so sweet, kind, and inviting, not only do we have great talks but I always feel super confident and never disappointed with my hair after each visit! Carleigh genuinely cares about what you want, and ALWAYS nails it!

  • AHHH-MAZING!! Hair styles are all amazing. Hands down the best salon I have been to in my life (and trust me I’ve been to allottt) They are all so nice and genuine. Carleigh is my favorite ever. She is so sweet and a perfectionist. She is honest and reliable and takes pride in her work. The extensions match with my hair perfectly and I have had 0 problems! Best investment I have ever made. I will be a client for life. Can’t complain about a thing, not to mention the salon is gorgeous.

  • I have been going to fletcher and gaines for a few months now and have never been happier with my hair! Carleigh has done my extensions and color since December and it looks the most natural and best it has in years! I will never go anywhere else!

    Laney Reilly

  • When I first moved to Charlotte I was so nervous trying to find a new hairstylist who I trusted. I feel so blessed to have found Carleigh! Her knowledge and kindness blew me away. Carleigh listens to your vision / goals and provides exceptional hair care service. I love hair by Carleigh because it’s like a visit with one of my close friends, and I leave feeling more confident every single time . The atmosphere at Fletcher and Gaines is so welcoming, it’s like a visit home. Carleigh has a gift, and I can not recommend her enough.

  • Carleigh is the absolute BEST!!! I am very particular about my hair and she kills it every time! She truly listens to what you want while also putting your hair’s health in consideration as well. I always love getting my hair done because Carleigh is very easy to talk to about anything and everything. She is the whole package! This is your sign to book with her!

    Hannah McManus

  • Sitting in someone’s chair is not only trusting someone to do your hair but also about creating a lasting relationship with your hairstylist. Carleigh creates the perfect environment to not only exceed your hair goals, but to create that long lasting relationship. She strives for your hair to not only look beautiful but to continue to be healthy. Which is something I admire! I can’t brag enough about not only her professional skills but her personal ones as well!

    Breezi Basinger

  • I have been going to carleigh for over a year and a half now, and she never fails to amaze me!! she is so sweet and welcoming and makes my hair look perfect and brings it back to life every single time.

    Maddy Efird

  • Carleigh just gave me the cut of my dreams! Before we even got started with the service we did a consultation which is SUPER important to me to. She was super thorough through the whole process and had the most relaxing experience at the shampoo bowls with a heated blanket, good scalp scrub (the best because i usually wash 7-10 days so good scrubs are needed), scalp massage, steamed towel on my hair while the treatment was left on, and ended with a blowout & style. I asked for a product recommendation & left with a bond smoothing styler that I’m super excited to add into my routine. Highly recommend Carleigh for all your haircare services!

    Amanda Moore

  • Carleigh is the perfect combination of built in bestie and hairstylist. I know I can always count on her to give me the “look” that I came into the salon hoping for. One thing that stands out about Car from other hairstylist is she will always give her honest opinion and never let you make bad last minute choices—whether it’s hair color, or chopping it off! She takes so much pride in what she does, and I know when she does my hair it will always be done right. She is a hair GOD and a true light..I always leave her chair happier and it’s not because my hair looks good.

    Carlie Darnell

  • Carleigh is both professional and personable. She is easy to communicate with, always on time, and never leaves my hair looking less than perfect. Her chair is one of my favorite places to be because she’s so genuine and easy to talk to. I’ll never have another hair girl!

    Brooke Moore

  • I was recommended to carleigh by a friend after moving to the Carolina’s. I had been going to the same salon since high school so I was super nervous having to find someone new. Carleigh has beyond exceeded my expectations. It’s been almost two years since i started going to her and i always joke to her that she’s stuck with me for life now. She’s always so accommodating with getting me an appointment on my days off , or working around my hectic work schedule. I’ll sit in her chair for hours and just talk about anything and everything with her. Carleigh is truly one of the sweetest people I’ve meet. She is so talented in what she does! I’ve gotten so many compliments on my hair & it’s seriously never looked better or healthier. One of my biggest worries about moving down here was finding someone for my hair /extensions… but I’m sooooo grateful I found someone I can trust with my hair (and all of my venting sesh’s in her chair).

    Amanda Taylor

  • Carleigh is an amazing stylist, and I cannot recommend her enough! I always leave loving my hair and feeling encouraged. She is flexible and always willing to accommodate my work schedule. Carleigh is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, and you will leave her chair feeling that way too.
