Intentions Color & Extensions

I cannot recommend Julia, Brandon and Intentions any higher. I came in after years of trying everything I knew to do to achieve my hair goals. After a recommendation from a friend, I went in for a consultation to Julia and the rest is history. Never in my life has a stranger stopped me to tell me how beautiful my hair is, until I went to intentions and finally tried extensions.

I am I lifer now- I will never go without extensions and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to install them and care for my natural hair so masterfully. 10/10!

Jules is hands down the best stylist! Before moving to the Raleigh area, I looked at the work of all the different salons in the area that were certified in extensions and Intentions Salon had the best, by far! I have been going here for over a year now and am so happy with the services provided. My hair looks amazing each time and has gotten so much healthier. I trust Jules completely with my hair, which is hard for me! I highly recommend Intentions Salon. You will not be disappointed! Here’s some before and after pictures.

It may sound dramatic, but Jules at Intentions Salon changed my life. After having kids and diagnosed with alopecia, I became extremely self-conscious about my thinning hair. My self-confidence really took a hit. I first came to Jules in 2019 and I've never stopped! Not only have the extensions improved my self-confidence, but they actually are a time saver! I don't spend as much time washing or styling as I did with my natural hair. What can I say? In those four years, I've also come to love Jules (and B) as people. Where I used to dread going to my hair appointments in the past, at Intentions, I truly look forward to each and every appointment!

5 stars without question. You will be in the best hands with Julia and Brandon. They are professional, highly skilled, and always seeking to go above and beyond the status quo. I have been seeing them for about 2 years, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my hair

Brandon was WONDERFUL!!!! From the online consultation to the time I sat in the chair, and everything in between, I felt so listened to! They are so thorough and make you feel comfortable through the whole process. The color work Brandon can do is true art. He took my tired hair and rejuvenated it, which boosted my confidence immensely. Theyve created the most welcoming space for a few hours of self care!!! I would recommend Brandon for your color in a heartbeat!

Intentions Salon is an extraordinary salon. The service from color, to extensions to style is over the top exceptional. If you are looking for that “new you” “refresh” then Intentions Salon is a must add to your beauty regime.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I have trichotillomania and my hair has been a struggle for me since 2nd grade. I finally have a head full of thick beautiful hair. I am confident now and I’m so happy!! This salon is amazing. 1000/10! I attached some before and after photos. Thank you so much!

My experience at Intentions Color & Extensions has been truly AMAZING!! From the moment I step foot in the salon until the time I leave I am totally pampered. I have been going to Julia for two years and I have to say she is truly so talented. . I have never loved my hair until I sat in her chair for the first time. I love my extensions! They are so easy to manage and absolutely gorgeous. She always listens to what I want and it always turns out just perfect. I can’t say enough good about her and her beautiful salon. I look forward to each and every appointment! I drive about an hour and a half to see her and it is so worth it. Thank you Julia for giving me the hair of my dreams!

Outstanding service and customer care. The owner was a miracle worker for my situation. A real Godsend. Blessings to everyone in this salon who are amazing. Work she did was incredible.

I am so glad I found Jules and Brandon at Intentions salon. They are the experts and prove it every single time I am at intentions.
My sister was visiting NC a few years ago needing some emergency help and relief from her current hair situation. Jules literally saved her hair. She gave her the best advice to get her healthy hair back and she left feeling beautiful after feeling defeated and devastated. Her extensions looked flawless and It’s been priceless watching my sister get her confidence back, she is the poster child for a good hair toss these days.

As for me it’s been near impossible finding a colorist in NC after moving here from NY. I always found myself not getting exactly what I wanted or having horrible experiences. Brandon is the only person allowed to color my hair from now on! I leave his chair feeling confident and always so happy with the results. He takes his time and makes sure I know exactly what’s going on and what he’s doing next. I am at the point where I trust him so deeply with my hair I show him a photo and just say, Do whatever you want to do.
Its ALWAYS a fun and enjoyable vibe at intentions with the best music and refreshments, they have whatever you need.
They are seriously the nicest people you will meet and you will not be disappointed!

I absolutely love this extension salon! The results are beyond amazing. Every time I go out, I can’t help but notice how much better my hair extensions look and how healthy my natural hair feels compared to others. The stylist here are true experts, and the salon has a fantastic atmosphere. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!

I can honestly say that Julia and Brandon have changed the way I look at myself. My hair has always been very thin/fine and I’ve really struggled with it for years. Three years ago, I had enough and ended up buzzing my hair to wear wigs full time. The wigs provided their own challenges with itching, realism, comfort, heat, etc. Not willing to settle, I explored extensions and if it would be an option that would fit me. I spent a month really studying different salons in order to find the best fit for me and I FOUND IT! From the moment that I sat in Julia’s salon, everyone made me feel so comfortable and listened to. Julia explained everything, gave me her thoughts, outlined a plan, cost, maintenance of extensions and listened to any questions. They put my mind at ease and three weeks later, I came back in to have my extensions installed. Brandon and Julia both worked on my extensions and the results brought me to tears. Yes, the extensions were pricey but they are 110% worth every cent. I don’t even think of them as extensions, they are my hair. I will forever be an Intensions client.

I was looking for a cutting edge hair salon that specializes in hair extensions and I met my match with Intensions Hair Salon. Jules is a true master at the art of hair extensions. I walked into her salon four years ago and I haven't left. The customer service is outstanding and the staff is superb. Brandon is an absolute dream and always takes his time to ensure I'm happy with my hair every time I sit in his chair. If you're thinking about getting hair extensions, don't walk, run to Intensions Hair!! You're fairy hair goddess Jules is waiting.

Intentions is a premier extension salon in the Cary area. Julia is an expert extension stylist. I had been thinking about extensions for several years but wasn’t sure where to begin. Julia and her team made me feel comfortable and explained the extension options. She was upfront with pricing throrougly explained the maintenance process. I’m so happy I went forward with the mane luxe extensions. My hair is naturally fine and started to thin due to some health issues. I feel so much more confident now. The maintenance isn’t crazy and I haven’t noticed any issues with my natural hair growth. If you’re on the fence about extensions I would just go for it. I’ve had color done by Julia too. She did such an amazing job, natural highlights and blended so well. I’ve worked with Brandon and Sierra as well. Both super nice and professional. The salon is beautiful, clean and centrally located in Cary. Check them out!

This is by far the best extension experience I have ever had, and I’ve had them all over the last 15 years. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and care about you and the quality of your hair. There is a special trust one has when putting their hair in the hands of someone new, and the staff at Intentions put you at ease during the process. If you want a gorgeous hair transformation, from the best/most knowledgeable/modern artist, this is the ONLY place to go.

I have been seeing Julia for hair extensions since the beginning of 2020 and she is so great at what she does! She offers IBE extensions which I love and nobody else in the area offers them! I had NBR extensions before but IBE is so much better for me. Julia takes great care of you and will make work with you to achieve the look you want! Most recently she switched me to 1 row of IBE plus a crown extension. Crown extensions are also not common around Raleigh and she is one of the few people who can do them! If you have thinning hair at your crown/part I’d encourage you to look into it! I trust Julia 100% and I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing my hair!

Julia is incredible at her craft. Having used a number of different stylists over the past 10 years I can safely say I’ve found the one! Thoroughly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

My hair has been in Julia's hands for years, and I can't imagine it any other way. She consistently delivers a positive and professional experience, during the appointment and beyond. I have had NBR by her and now have IBE extensions. With either method, my color is spot on, the blend and cut are perfect, and the hair is so comfortable, it feels like my own. She is constantly working to improve her skills, offerings and the client experience - and it shows. Plus, she makes it fun! Be prepared for lots of laughs, and fabulous hair!

Julia has been styling my hair for close to 9 years! Being someone that really doesn't seek out change, I have always felt comfortable letting Julia switch up my hair. She pays attention and learns about her customers in a way that allows her to style their hair to compliment their personality. She is always on trend and is passionate about hair and the newest techniques. I am sporting her latest trend #NBR and absolutely love it. She is a perfectionist and wants her customers to be 100% satisfied. I can guarantee you will leave Intentions with the best color you have ever had :)

Julia is amazing. She has been coloring and cutting my hair since I moved to NC 4 1/2 years ago. She also did my hair as well as my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. She is always professional and I trust her with all my hair needs. I use and love several of the J Beverly Hills products including the control shampoo and condition and dry shampoo. I can't wait for my first keratin smoothing treatment.
