We expanded our space & added suites in early 2024, and if you can believe it, there are still some folks who don’t know our salon has two whole floors of incredible providers!
The Hightide Salon + Suites is an 8K Sq. foot space that houses a likeminded collective of more than 35 creative professionals, most of whom are small business owners. Our salon houses lots of talented hairstylists in addition to an incredible nail & fine line tattoo artist, cosmetic tattoo artist, waxing specialist, massage therapist, and head spa!
The Hightide Salon + Suites is a deeply creative workspace where teamwork and self expression are at the center of what we do. We’re a Certified space, meaning none of our services are gendered, and everyone is welcome and celebrated here!
Nothing warms our hearts more than seeing clients expand their service provider roster at Hightide – when you have a go-to stylist, nail tech, and massage therapist all in one spot, it’s easy to make a day out of it! And if you need help building the perfect day of spa services, simply send us an email at [email protected]!

In case you needed a reminder...
We are that salon. 🫶
Not the one rushing you through.
Not the one chasing trends like they mean something.
Not the one checking boxes and calling it “luxury.”
We are the one that feels different the second you walk in.
The one where people actually see you.
The one where the standard isn’t what the industry told us it should be
it’s what we decided it gets to be.
At The Hightide Salon
we don’t dilute the experience to make it digestible.
We elevate it until it becomes undeniable.
We are artists, yes
but also curators of energy,
editors of chaos,
translators of who you are becoming.
This is not a pit stop.
This is not maintenance.
This is where people come when they’re ready to look in the mirror and recognize themselves again
or for the first time.
We don’t compete.
We set the current. 🌊
We have had some faces added since this shoot, and nearly doubled in size but we can't wait to show more... this shoot though still feels so classic hightide although it was 5 years ago with the talented
Can't wait to do another one ❤️🫶❤️

As we navigate Stage 1 Water Restrictions due to a drought in central NC, and celebrate Earth Day simultaneously, we are reminded that the choices we make day to day to prioritize environmental sustainability at our salon are part of a much larger ecosystem of needed change.
We remain so grateful for our ongoing partnerships with and , which support our environmental goals. This year to date, our salon has recovered 516.5 lbs of beauty waste, including 71.5 lbs of hair clippings, 119.5 lbs of plastic, 8 lbs of plastic, 224 lbs of metals, and 93 lbs of single use items. In addition to this, our partnership with The Great Raleigh Cleanup diverts all of our aluminum can waste – and that’s significant! You may or may not know that aluminum is the most recyclable material there is. Check out the photo of Preston to see just how many drinks we & our clients are enjoying week to week!
From our eco-friendly haircare product lines to our reusable towels & cups, from the detergents we use to our emphasis on holistic services, respecting our relationship with the earth is an undercurrent in all we do.
Through April 30, 10% of profits from all products sold in the salon will be split between The Great Raleigh Cleanup and , an organization with a global bottle deposit program that helps end poverty and stops plastic pollution. We are also stocking liters of some of our favorite haircare products from , , and , so it’s a perfect time to stock up and reduce plastic waste!
