As the seasons shift, fall is the perfect time to refresh your look and prepare for the months ahead. At Prickly Pear Salon, this season is about change, growth, and helping you feel your best as the days grow shorter and the holidays approach. We love sharing what’s new so you can plan your visits with ease and enjoy every moment in our chairs. From new team members to exciting service updates, here’s everything happening at Prickly Pear this fall—and how it all benefits you.
Welcoming Elena to the Team

We are thrilled to introduce Elena, who officially joins us this September after moving here from Chicago. With 4 years of experience behind the chair, she brings both technical skill and a thoughtful approach to every guest she works with.
Elena excels in seamless blonding, precision bobs, and has an incredible eye for detail that ensures your cut and color look polished from every angle. One of the things guests love most about her is her ability to read the room—whether you’re in the mood for easy conversation or prefer a quiet, relaxing appointment, Elena creates an experience that feels just right for you.
Adding another talented stylist means more appointment availability this fall, so it will be easier for you to get in when you need us most!
Express Mini Services Are Here
Sometimes you just need a quick refresh, not a full appointment! That’s where our new Express Mini services shine. The Express Mini is a one-hour appointment designed for quick grey coverage, focusing on your hairline, part, and t-zone. It does not include foil work or a full blow-dry style, making it an in-and-out option for returning guests who want to look polished between full appointments. To keep your color healthy and seamless, we allow one Express Mini between regular Minis.

Celebrating Avery’s Growth
This season, we are especially proud of Avery! She has been excelling in our training program and growing her skills every week.
Avery will now be offering Express Minis through the holiday season, giving you even more options for a quick refresh. It’s the perfect way to maintain your color and feel confident for all the fall gatherings ahead, without spending hours in the salon.
Additionally, Avery still has a few open spots for discounted A Lil Love Treatment sessions. If your hair is in need of some love after a summer full of sun & fun, use code RESET20 when booking your A Lil Love!
Holiday Hair Starts Now
Holiday schedules fill quickly, and once we’re booked, we’re booked! To guarantee your spot for November and December, we recommend reserving your appointment now. Securing your time early means you can relax knowing your hair will be holiday-ready without last-minute stress.
Reminder
We ask that if anyone in your home is feeling sick, coughing, or running a fever, please reschedule your appointment or wear a mask when you visit. This helps us protect our staff and fellow guests so that everyone can continue enjoying a safe and comfortable salon experience.
If you need to cancel or reschedule for any reason, we kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice. You can make changes anytime through our website using your email address, or by calling/texting us at 919-884-5740.
This fall at Prickly Pear, we are focused on growth, innovation, and keeping your experience effortless. With new faces, new services, and the same care you know and love, there’s never been a better time to visit us! Whether you are refreshing your color, booking ahead for holidays, or just popping in for an Express Mini, we can’t wait to welcome you into the salon.
