“Not sure where to start. I haven't visited a hair salon in over 15+years, because I normally do my own thing with my hair, not having much confidence in anyone. However, I needed my hair cut and style, so I started surfing the internet, and came across Black Pearl. The reviews did it for me, so I decided to give Ms Tina a shot at it. I went there with a very open mind, hoping for the best, but at the same time expecting anything. Let me tell you, Ms Tina was amazing in every sense of the word. She was very warm and inviting, very knowledgeable in her field. She works magic with her hands. To say the least I was very impressed the way she handled her skill. What an awesome hair stylist with a great personality. To crown it off she did a lot of teaching, educating me on my hair type and the products that would work best. I received so many compliments on my hair cut from family members, friends and strangers alike. I am so excited, experimenting with different styles and just loving it all the way. Thank you, Tina, for my awesome makeover.“
“I’m a male and had medium long hair for a guy, I’m nervous when it comes to haircuts because nobody wants a bad one, especially me. William cut my hair and did great ?? He really Took his time and walked me through what I wanted, and ask questions about how I wanted it. Great service 10/10!“

“I recently moved to Durham and knew that I needed a new hairstylist. I found Tiffany at the recommendation of a family member. We had an initial consultation to discuss my hair concerns and Tiffany was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'm leery about who I allow to do my hair but I had a feeling she was someone I'd be able to trust with my crown and I was right. My hair had been through some changes and while it wasn't majorly damaged, it was in need of some TLC and Tiffany provided that. She took the time to listen to my concerns and desires but also offered suggestions based on her expertise. Within 3 months of going every other week, I noticed a vast improvement in both the condition as well as the length of my hair. I came to her relaxed but I expressed that I eventually want to get blonde streaks so she is putting me on a plan to safely transition my hair from relaxed to natural and black to blonde. I am so glad that I found Tiffany. She is easy to talk to and knows her stuff when it comes to hair. Her shop is clean and well decorated and has a welcoming atmosphere. She's a 10/10 for me!Services: Shampoo & conditioning“

“Took my sister for her first professional haircut, and she was obviously nervous. But she came out a new person, she loved the service and Erica did a phenomenal job. We will be back :)“
“My place to go for haircuts!UPDATE: sadly this salon has closed due to the exorbitant rent Brightleaf charges. It was a black-owned business, run by a wonderful woman and should've been preserved since Durham prides itself on being progressive. Unfortunately, this is another shameful example of rampant gentrification that is becoming this city's modus operandi.“

“I was an old customer of hot headz, but due to family issues, I was going to a salon that was closer and I didnt need an appointment. The cut and color was ok, but not even close to Hotheadz. After 4 horrible haircuts and 3 horrible color jobs I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Bobby. I can't even describe the condition my hair was in. Bobby took the time to analyze the condition of my hair so as not to do anymore damage. this is the best cut I have had in a long time. I went in with orange hair and came out with a beautiful rich brown. He did an amazing job.Service: Hairstyling“

I was nervous about getting my brows done but Shey made me feel so comfortable, between all her expertise and knowledge I had full trust in her! I’m SO happy with the results! I feel much sexier and confident! I HIGHLY recommend!“
