Hope is so talented and truly listens to what you want. Her layers and face-framing work are beautiful, and she always gets it just right. We love her work and wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Every single time I come in, I ALWAYS leave beautiful.
H2O does not miss a beat and they're always hospitable the moment you walk in. They ask all clients, "Would you like something to drink?" and it's that small question that differentiate them from the rest. Also, everyone is just super friendly, good vibes all around.
I get my hair done with Hope and every single time I leave the salon I feel my very best! A professional hair stylist to the core, Hope has done my hair for the last 4ish years and is always on top of it. I believe that the quality of the haircut and treatments on top match the cost especially for the expertise and white-glove service I receive. Truly an incredible place with incredible stylists.

I had a wonderful experience here! Sonia was incredibly thorough and friendly throughout my appointment. She gave me long layers with beautiful face-framing pieces that turned out exactly how I wanted. The front desk staff was also super welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend Sonia and the team!

I had an amazing experience from start to finish! My stylist was incredibly professional, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable the entire appointment. He took the time to understand what I wanted and gave me the most beautiful layers. My hair turned out so much better than I could have ever anticipated. I absolutely love it!
The salon itself was inviting, and had a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend both my stylist and the salon to anyone looking for outstanding service and beautiful results. 10/10! Thanks Thony 💛

I have had appointments with two stylists here: Ruth and Brittany Angela. I had numerous short haircuts with Ruth and she is great at communicating with me and giving me the hairstyle I want.
Today I decided to try more of a low taper fade, and Ruth suggested I try Brittany Angela today. I had a great experience, and Ang did an excellent job showing pictures when she felt like we were talking past each other, and the haircut she gave me is very detail-oriented and well-executed. I opted for a beard trim as well, and she used a massager on my face while it was under a hot towel, and it was terrific (not something I had ever tried before).
Ruth and Ang are awesome and I look forward to my next cut!

This was my first time visiting the salon. I’m so blessed to been taken care of by Sonia. I’ve gone through YEARS of damaged hair because (also my fault) I always want to try something new without giving my hair the proper post care. Not only did she explain what procedures would best work for me but also recommended how I needed to start the healing process. Mind you this was all during my gray coverage appointment. I left with a beautiful blowout and thrilled by the excellent care and attention. Have no doubts this won’t be my first and last visit. Make sure to book with her!

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!!

Felix was wonderful and I had an exceptionally good time with him for my haircut. He understood what I wanted, made me super comfortable and did his magic. I love my new hair refresh. I'd highly recommend him for your next haircut!
October 1st feels like a pretty good day for a big change. ✂️🍂

Self-Care Saturday is for the hair goals that go a little deeper than a good hair day. 🩵
If your hair has been feeling thinner, flatter or like it’s lost some of its fullness, meet the Acidic Grow Full System from Redken.
Powered by azelaic acid, the system is designed to strengthen the hair while helping it look and feel denser, fuller and more voluminous from the roots through the lengths.
Because fuller-looking hair isn’t only about styling. The right routine can make a difference in how your hair feels every day.
Ask the H2O team about Acidic Grow Full during your next visit, or stop by the salon to shop the system.

If your hair has the length but is missing the movement, this is your sign to rethink the layers. ✂️✨
Fresh layers can completely change the way your hair falls, frames your face, and holds a bouncy blowout without needing a major change in length.
This cut by @bellezaconmari brought back the shape, movement + that full, airy finish that makes a blowout feel SO good.

Being trusted with someone’s nails month after month is special. Being trusted with their wedding nails? That one gets us. 💜
We loved getting to be a small part of Lanelle @bisexualbookshelf + her bride’s wedding week, and this post was too sweet not to share.
In her words:
“There are a lot of little things from our wedding week that we never want to forget, and spending an afternoon at @h2ohairsalonandspa getting our wedding nails done is one of them. 💜
I started seeing @nailsbyorlandoaguilar in April 2025 because years of biting and picking at my nails had left my fingers in rough shape. So when Lanelle and I started planning our wedding, there was never really a question about who would do our manicures.
H2O Salon & Spa is queer- and Latin American-owned by Orlando and his husband, Eddie, and it’s the kind of small business I feel genuinely good about putting my money toward. Orlando has always made his chair feel like a place where I can show up exactly as I am, and getting to have him be part of something as special as our wedding made the whole thing even sweeter.
Also, I am still not over my fairy princess manicure. 🌸🧚♀️💅
If you’re in the Durham area and looking for hair or nail services, go show H2O some love. Support queer small businesses all year! 🩷💜💙”
Thank you for letting us be part of this one. And congratulations to the newlyweds! 🥂

A little more pepper with the salt. 🩶
Instead of covering the grey completely, @belleza.con.esperanza added strategically placed lowlights to bring back depth and dimension while still letting the natural silver be part of the look! Swipe to the end to see the before ✨
The result is soft, blended grey that feels natural, intentional, and completely her own!

Calcium buildup can leave hair feeling dull, rough and more vulnerable to damage, which is exactly where @kerastase_official Première comes in. ✨
Meet two essentials for starting the Première repair ritual:
• Concentré Décalcifiant Ultra-Réparateur
A pre-shampoo treatment designed to help remove excess calcium buildup while reconnecting weakened bonds inside the hair.
• Bain Décalcifiant Réparateur
Layered directly over the Concentré, this repairing shampoo continues the decalcifying process while cleansing and helping restore strength, softness and shine.
Used together, they create the first steps of a ritual designed to reset damaged hair from the inside out.
Shop Kérastase Première at H2O Hair Salon & Spa, or ask a stylist which products belong in the perfect at-home routine.
