Ruth’s Hair Styling Salon

I don’t ask for much in a hair cut. Only that it’s done well and that it doesn’t cost a lot. I never have trouble getting an appointment same day and haven’t had to wait as a walk in for more than 10 minutes.
Always get what I ask for at Ruth’s
Going back in today, in fact!

Almost afraid to say this out loud, because this place is such a jewel. No frills basic great haircuts. Crystal cut my short shaggy pixie as well as the stylist I used to drive to Atlanta to see. Thank you Crystal!

Great place to get your haircut. Easy to find. Relaxed inside and you will be in and out in like ten minutes. They will get you lookin sharp.

ALWAYS quick, ALWAYS quality, ALWAYS fun. In and out for $ 15 including tip. It’s best to call for an appointment, just in case they’re booked. If you have an hour to spare, and don’t mind shooting the breeze with the wonderful ladies, go in, have a seat on the colorful lawn furniture and wait it out! I go nowhere else for a cut!

I just came from Ruth’s and Sheila gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had! The cuts I like are short and not simple ones, (more like a few haircuts in one) and she nailed it — she really understands what you’re looking for.
I have found that most salons in the area seem to cost between $ 40-​$ 70 and this is worth that much — my cut was only $ 22. I thought paying $ 30 or less for a haircut from people who are fast and skilled was impossible! The best in Charlotte, in my opinion.
No nonsense, friendly stylists and great value. Busy salon, make an appointment. But it’s still worth the short wait if you do a walk-​in.

Good cuts, good price, nice folks. Walk-​in or appointments to suit your needs. The kind of place where the door is open if the weather is good.

What a fantastic job Christine did! Cut and style for $ 12? It was worth every penny! Thank you for making me look great!

Dont expect fru fru or anything fancy. These girls have personality and they show it.
If you have been looking for a fun place to get your hair cut this is the place.

I’ve finally found a great men’s haircut in Charlotte. I bounced around between Sports Clips and a few other local barbers, but never found a cut I was consistently happy with until Ruth’s. I’ve had my ears lowered by all 3 ladies and each did a great job. Sheila is my favorite, the kind of quick talking, quick clippin’ broad that gets you in and out in less than 15. Also only costs $ 15 after tip. Tracy and Crystal are great too, it really doesn’t matter. Simply love this place. Friendly, fast, cheap, quality men’s haircut.

Yeah, Ruth’s is good if you’re a man. A manly man who has no time for any fru apricot-​pineapple hair treatments. I don’t want a fruit salad in my hair.
The three women who work there are all personable, efficient and they know their stuff. And they’ll let you know that they know it. They remember their customers and it’s laid back. My girl is Sheila and she don’t take no shit. Great personality and knows her Boston sports.
IT’S NOT CORPORATE. Thank God for that. Some days I think about printing up some tee shirts that read «Keep Charlotte Corporate.» So not only do I get my hair did, but I get to support a local business. Win-​win.
I saw some reviews grousing about how the haircut is now $ 12. Really? That’s still less than SuperCuts, where you have a different person every time cutting your hair differently every time. It’s a surprise! Or the other place, Great Clips. Last time I went there, a transvestite cut my hair. Call me old fashioned and small minded, but that ain’t my bag.
Overall, for quality, price, experience & service, I haven’t found a hair cuttery that can top Ruth’s.

I used to love Ruth’s, $ 10 haircut! And out the door in less than 30 minutes!
I am a simple gal with simple needs. A $ 10 haircut is perfect.
But they have raised the price to a shocking $ 18, almost double and then an added tip? Eek.
I still got a $ 10 haircut that took less than 30 minutes, but it cost me $ 25.
I’ll be going to the salon schools now. I would prefer Ruth’s $ 10 haircut.

So I think this place is good if you’re a man. They cut your hair, it’s cheap, blah blah. But if you’re a woman… the word lacking comes to mind. They don’t wash your hair before cutting it. They don’t even wet it. They just sit you down, adorn you with a disgusting cape, raise their sharp talon scissors and whack! there go half of your raggedy ends. The other half you get to keep. Like that annoying demi-​friend who follows you around, those ends are there to stay. They’re definitely not dropping you at Ruth’s.

Can’t go wrong at Ruth’s. Quick service, and you’re going to get a damn solid haircut. Great prices, too!

This place is amazing. The women who work there are fun and very friendly and they do amazing work. They talk to you before you sit down to make sure you are on the same page before they start cutting.
I was super hesitant the first time I came here because of the price (what’s a $ 20 haircut really going to look like?) but I’ve been here 3 times and so long as I’m in Charlotte, this is the only place I’m going to get my hair cut.
Absolutely come to Ruth’s.

I’ve been here many times, and were never disappointed with my hair cut. Ask for Tracy, she takes her time and knows exactly how you’d like your hair.

This place is a gem. Prior to coming here I was going to a place that had great stylists but they didn’t allow for appointments and that was a major issue for me because I like to have an assigned time to come in and get my haircut. Ruth’s allows for walkins and for appointments which is a better fit for me.
The stylists here are nice and friendly and the price of the cut really can’t be beat. My haircut was only $ 10 (without tip). That’s borderline free these days. I would highly suggest this place to anyone looking for a cut.
The interior isn’t anything fancy but it has a little character for sure.

This was the first place in Charlotte my guy went to get his hair cut. With all the glowing 5-​star reviews, we figured this would be an awesome place. I guess you get what you pay for… $ 10 is definitely VERY cheap but the cut wasn’t good. The neckline was crooked (my biggest pet peeve!) and the lady, while very talkative and nice, was really rough when cutting. Maybe it was a fluke but we won’t going back.

Those who know me know how much I don’t believe in overpriced hair salons. It’s hair, it will grow. And for the past years I have been happily serving as guinea pig for several schools around town. But I think I have found a permanent home for my mop.
I discovered Ruth’s from the infamous $ 10 haircut pitch I heard from a guy friend. I just needed a trim for my newly cut short hair (by the way, short hair takes so much more work and maintenance!) and I didn’t have time to wait for an opening at the school or the 3 hours they would take up from my day. So Ruth’s I went.
It’s in South End, behind Beijing, so I went at my lunch break. No appointment, no wait. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. No, there wasn’t any head massage or even a shampoo service. Crystal simply spray bottled my hair wet and got the job done. And yup, it was $ 10! So happy they didn’t charge more because I am a girl. I even had enough cash left over to eat lunch next door and got back to work within my hour break.
I went back the other day, 3 weeks after my 1^st visit, because I was spotting a faux mullet again. This time I even showed Crystal a pic of what I would like my hair to resemble. I can tell from her movement that she is very skilled. It is nice to not have to be at edge of seat wondering what on earth will my hair look like. $ 10 (plus tips) and 15 minutes later I was thrilled with my updated do.
Crystal, you rock!

Okay, first of all, ten dollars. Ten dollars! TEN DOLLARS! Holy fuck!
If that’s not enough to motivate you to get your rear end into one of Ruth’s Hair Styling Salon’s seats when it’s time to trim your mangy scruff, then let me elaborate:
The place is super-​conveniently located in the South End right off of South Boulevard, where there is plenty of street parking. From the moment I walked in, my hairstylist was friendly and casual; within two minutes we were talking like we were old friends. She gave me a great haircut that was stylish, but not too unusual and I got to take as many Dum-​Dum lollipops on my way out as the fat kid inside of me could handle.
I gave her a 100% tip because ten dollars.
Couldn’t recommend this place more as a place to get your haircut done well, on the cheap, by awesome people at a locally-​owned place.

I was finishing up several days of work in Charlotte and desperately needed a haircut. I tweeted @YelpCharlotte and Nicole made this (EXCELLENT) rec… which I so appreciate. Normally I drop $ 40 on a haircut in NYC (where I live)…which I understand is criminal.
— I made an appt
— Ladies here are so incredibly friendly and it’s apparent they know all of their clientele and that folks come back again-​and-​again
— Gina cut my hair, taking care but not taking forever.
— TEN DOLLARS, y’all. OMG.
— I almost choked (see above, only $ 10US)
