Since 2000…

We have opened our doors on West Franklin Street to provide high-quality hair care that we are proud of. Whether your hair is long or short, blonde or silver, straight, curly, or somewhere in between, we're dedicated to creating a comfortable, fun, and welcoming experience every time you're here.

We offer a full range of services, including men's and women's haircuts, editorial styling, color, and color correction.

  • David Sutton

    OWNER, STYLIST

    Originally from Murfreesboro, North Carolina, David made his way to Chapel Hill via UNC. He opened his own salon in 2000 but has been styling hair long enough for styles to come and go three times (we are looking at you, mullets). His unique ability to connect with people as he transforms their hair is unlike any other. Step into the salon and experience David’s passion for the town, blending local charm with a carefully curated selection that reflects the spirit of the community.

  • Dani Sklar

    SHOP MANAGER

    Hailing from Central Pennsylvania, Dani has brought warmth to the store since joining in 2022 after finishing graduate school at UNC. With a genuine love for the community and a knack for connecting with people, Dani has quickly become a friendly face behind the counter. She has always been enthusiastic about wine and loves helping people find their new favorite bottle; she is currently earning her Level 2 Sommelier Certification.

  • Adriah Hooten

    STYLIST

    Adriah is a senior stylist who has been with DB Sutton & Company since 2018. She is originally from Illinois but came to North Carolina and fell in love with the local community in 2011. She specializes in blonding, lived in color, color correction, gray coverage, dimensional coloring, updos/special occasion hair styling, and cutting and sculpting hair.
