Carter Hair Design was established in 1971 when Fran and Lois Carter purchased it's downtown location. Since then, the salon and it's appreciation for hair has been passed down for three generations, picking up transcending techniques and trends along the way. Whether you are looking for a simple haircut, the perfect balayage, or a complicated color correction (and everything in between) - this is the place for you.

On top of being satisfied with your new look, your hair will also feel great from our high standards in quality hair care products (including OLAPLEX). At 1107 Caroline, you can sip on some coffee and enjoy a nice atmosphere knowing with certainty you'll leave with stunning hair. We'll take care of the rest.

As owner and proprietor, Fran Carter Jr. is constantly looking for ways to advance Carter Hair Design to creative and more challenging heights. With model photo shoots, runway shows and advanced staff training, he is always pushing the envelope for professional growth in the salon.

As a hair designer of thirty years, his approach is simple: stick with time-honored attention to professional craftsmanship in all aspects of the craft and always listens to the client.

Everyone here is always so friendly. I am super picky with my hair but I've been going here for a while and always am happy with their service. Kylie is amazing especially.

Carter's Hair Design has provided me with excellent barber/stylist service and friendship for very many years. Fran Jr is my "go to barber" for a reliable cut that matches my whims without fail. He has earned my respect, trust and friendship. Carter's Hair Design is recommended without reservation.

I’m not local, but I came as a one time customer before an event to have my hair washed and curled. Kylie did a wonderful job and my hair held beautifully for the entire evening. I would not hesitate to return here if I was in the area again.

Go here; just do it! Going to the same place for years, I decided to try a different way with my old hair; chose Carter's because of good reviews.
They were all right. Great place. I asked Sara if she could give me a Caesar cut: she said, "sure." She did it and it has worked out just fine. The owner, Francis, is a most agreeable fellow. As I said: "Go here!"

My friend recomended Gage to cut and color my hair. The results were phenomenal, he has perfectionist percision and a mastery of lightening dark hair. Not to mention his ability to create amazing color depth. He is very knowledgeable in his craft and was able to show me how to style my hair and what products to use. I honestly don't know where he has been my whole life, my hair has never looked this good. The entire salon is warm, polite, and fun to be around. Best experience I've ever had.

Carter's interior is cozy and welcoming; the hairstylists are so sweet & truly talented. They have always exceeded my expectations in cut and color. I feel totally calm here, even when trying something new (or daring 😂) with my hair, because I know they will get it right.

This is the best salon I have ever been to. The staff is wonderful, the owners are even better! Sara did an amazing job, not only did she fix the botched color a previous salon had done, she took the time to make my hair perfect and listen to my every concern. I was also very happy with the professionalism and helpfulness of everyone, Katherine took time out of her schedule to help and make sure I left the salon with perfect hair. I'm obsessed with my new color and will definitely be back for more! I am beyond happy with my results! This was the best experience I have ever had getting at ANY salon
