RALEIGH – Hair Cuttery plans to open more than 20 salons and create more than 200 jobs in the Raleigh and Charlotte markets through 2028, a multi-year expansion that would broaden the chain’s North Carolina footprint from one existing location to multiple communities.
The company said the rollout will begin in early 2027 with 14 locations. Target markets include Raleigh, Charlotte, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, Huntersville and Cornelius, extending Hair Cuttery’s North Carolina presence beyond its existing Elizabeth City salon.
The first four Triangle salons are scheduled to open Feb. 1, 2027, according to reporting by The News & Observer. The Raleigh location is planned for 2603 Glenwood Ave.; the Durham salon for 1051 Yunus Road; the Cary salon for Crescent Commons at 2070 Kildaire Farm Road; and the Chapel Hill salon for Eastgate Crossing at 1800 E. Franklin St.
Hair Cuttery has also announced a Charlotte-area expansion, but it has not released a complete location list or a job breakdown by community. The company said openings will continue through 2028.
The company described the planned openings as opportunities for salon professionals and said additional career details will be announced as the expansion progresses. It has not provided a job breakdown by market or role.
Hair Cuttery Family of Brands operates more than 500 salons nationally and owns the Hair Cuttery, Bubbles and Cibu brands. The North Carolina plan would establish a distributed retail-services footprint across the state’s two largest metropolitan markets rather than a single new storefront.
The business consequence is a planned addition of more than 200 service-sector jobs and more than 20 company-operated locations through 2028. The figures are company targets, and the expansion remains subject to individual site openings and hiring.
