My Google Reviews
I was specifically looking for an LGBTQIA+ salon in Durham and H2O popped up right away. My first haircut was a transformational cut and I felt so supported throughout (I cried a bit during..) my next cut (with a different stylist) was also a great experience and great cut! I highly recommend!!
I got married a few weeks back and my hair stylist caught Covid less then a week before the wedding. I called h2o and they made room for me. Adine did my hair quickly and it looked great.
Super nice to trans people. Felt very comfortable and their services are great.

Mixie transformation magic by @belleza.con.esperanza ✨
This cut is all about movement, texture, and letting natural curl patterns do their thing. Short, shape-forward, and full of personality in the best way!
Mixies are that perfect in-between cut when you want edge without going full short and shape without losing movement.
They blend the softness of a pixie with the attitude of a mullet, giving you texture through the crown, length where it counts, and a silhouette that actually grows out well. On curly hair especially, mixies let curls stack and move instead of sitting flat or bulky, so the shape stays intentional instead of accidental.
It’s a confidence cut. A low-maintenance, high-personality kind of change that works with your natural texture, not against it.

Why We Love Perms 🤍
It’s about creating texture that actually works with your hair, your goals, and your lifestyle 👏🏻
The right rod placement, tension, and processing make all the difference between curls that feel stiff and curls that feel soft, lived-in, and effortless ✨
This one by Fernanda was designed to enhance natural movement, add volume where it matters, and give definition without the daily styling battle. It grows out beautifully, holds its shape, and gives you hair that looks styled even when you didn’t try that hard.
Perms today are customizable, modern, and way more versatile than people expect. When done right, they’re one of the most low-maintenance services we offer.
Ready to talk texture? Book a consultation at H2O Hair Salon & Spa or call the front desk and we’ll help you decide if a perm is the right move for you.

Today, we honor the legacy and impact of Martin Luther King Jr.
A day of remembrance, reflection, and responsibility.
Dr. King’s vision of equality, dignity, and justice continues to challenge us to lead with purpose, stand for what is right, and serve our communities with intention not just today, but every day.

Shadow and indoor lighting tell two very different stories and that’s the beauty of a well-done balayage. ✨
This look shifts seamlessly depending on the light, staying soft and dimensional in the shadows while brightening beautifully indoors. That kind of movement and balance only happens with intentional placement and a thoughtful color plan.
Ruth did an incredible job lifting and refining this guest’s hair just in time for the new year, creating brightness that feels natural, blended, and easy to wear in real life, not just perfect lighting 💡
If you’re ready for color that looks just as good in every room you walk into, book your balayage consultation at H2O Hair Salon and Spa today.

All you need is a sensational haircut + the right products to bring your curls back to life ✨
This curl refresh by @belleza.con.esperanza is all about shape, balance, and definition. The cut creates movement and removes bulk where it’s not needed, while professional curl-specific products help enhance pattern, reduce frizz, and bring the bounce back without weighing the hair down.
Healthy curls aren’t accidental. They’re the result of a thoughtful cut, proper moisture, and a routine designed specifically for your curl type. When those pieces come together, curls look defined, soft, and easy to live with between appointments.
If your curls have been feeling flat, dry, or hard to manage, it might be time for a reset. Book a curl consultation with our curl specialists and let us create a plan that actually works for your hair and lifestyle ➰

Hot pink to the dark side 🖤
This transformation focused on removing fantasy color thoughtfully and bringing the hair back to a rich, dark tone that feels glossy and easy to live in.
@soniasantosquiroz took the time to lift out the pink, rebalance the tone, and rebuild depth so the end result looks healthy and intentional, not flat or muddy.
Color removals are all about patience and a solid plan. It’s not just getting the color out, it’s making sure what comes next actually works for your hair long-term and grows out well!
If you’re ready to step away from vivid color and want something darker that still feels elevated and you, this is your sign. ✨ Book a consultation and let’s map it out the right way.

Transformation of the day ✨ before & after
This one was all about bringing life back into the hair while keeping it natural, soft, and wearable. Eddie refreshed this look with a custom balayage to brighten and blend through the mid-lengths and ends, paired with a thoughtful cut to clean up the shape and add movement where it matters most.
The result is lighter, brighter, and way more dimensional without losing depth at the root. It grows out seamlessly, feels effortless day to day, and gives that “my hair but better” finish we love.
If you’ve been feeling stuck with your color or ready for a change that still fits your lifestyle, this is your sign.
