One chair Two artists Clayton, NC

Opal & Ivy — a one-chair hair salon in Clayton, NC

Two artists. One quiet room. Where beautiful hair meets a thoughtful experience.

N° 01 The Offering

What we do, intentionally.

A private space to unwind and spend time with your stylist, one on one.

Pricing and availability live on each artist’s booking page.

  1. Cuts & Structure

    Cuts built around how your hair actually falls, so they still look intentional six weeks on. Dry-cut detailing, precision fringe, and texture that never reads as “done.”

  2. Color

    Single-process, root melts, and tonal glossing. Depth over drama. Color that reads as yours from across the room.

  3. Highlights & Balayage

    Hand-painted, sun-placed brightness with a soft grow-out. Face-framing to full dimension, mapped to the way you wear your hair.

  4. Treatments

    Bond repair, scalp rituals, and glossing finishes for shine, strength, and softness. Add to any service, or come in just for the quiet.
