If I could give Tone more than five stars, I would!
I spent an incredible amount of time searching online for a salon and stylist I could truly trust to take me through the final stage of my gray-blending journey. I found colorists I loved outside the country and others on the opposite side of the U.S.—and then I was blessed to find Leda, master colorist and owner of Tone Hair Salon, within a three-and-a-half-hour drive. And let me tell you, she is worth every single mile!
From the moment I walked in, I knew I had found someplace special. Leda and her staff work together like a well-oiled machine. Everyone is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, warm, and genuinely endearing. You can tell this is a team that loves what they do and loves working together.
And Leda... what a gem! Her personality is bubbly, fresh, welcoming, and absolutely adorable. I trusted her not only with my color, but with a dramatic haircut—which is saying a lot when you're putting both your hair and your gray-blending journey into someone's hands!
The result? I LOVE my hair. Apparently, so does my husband, because he now follows me around the house calling me "Cutie." 😂❤️
The talent, attention, time, and care Leda and her crew put into my hair far exceeded what I expected. I actually walked out feeling like I hadn't paid enough for the level of service I received.
If you're searching for someone who truly understands color—especially gray blending—and you want to feel completely comfortable putting your hair in their hands, go see Leda and the team at Tone. I searched far and wide, drove three and a half hours to get there, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Worth every mile! ❤️

In the five years since opening Tone Hair Salon in North Raleigh, owner and lead stylist Leda Fazal had mastered numerous skills: handling curls, touching up roots, even installing hair extensions using an original method so effective it earned her a patent.
