About Erlinas Beauty Salon
Erlinas Beauty Salon is a beauty salon on New Bern Ave in Raleigh, taking walk-ins rather than scheduled bookings. The service list covers blowouts and a wash, condition, and blow dry option. Some visits move through in under an hour, and a wait is not always part of the experience. The salon opens daily. Note that relaxer application should be confirmed with the team before service, as it is not applied to every client's hair by default.

Customer Review Summary
Blowouts are the most frequently mentioned service, with several reviewers praising the shampoo and conditioner used beforehand and calling the resulting blowout and added spiral curls impressive enough to return for. Longtime clients describe cuts and color that have kept their hair growing for years, and multiple note fast in-and-out visits and friendly staff, with one reviewer traveling two hours for the service and calling the prices very affordable. Close behind the praise, though, is a serious and recurring caveat: several reviewers report hair damage from blowouts and washes, including hair pulled out or burned off while detangling, and two separately describe a soft relaxer applied to their natural hair without consent, leaving one reviewer's curl pattern altered. One reviewer also describes hearing stylists make disparaging comments in Spanish about a customer's hair texture. A natural-hair customer also notes being charged more than the advertised special price once staff realized her hair wasn't chemically straightened.

“DO NOT GO HERE!!! if you care about your hair please please please do NOT make the same mistake I made choosing Erlinas. for starters I made the decision to go get a silk press with a friend ( lighter skin color then me ) as we both walk in a hairstylist comes running and grabs her running to the back to wash her hair as another stylist tells me to take a seat they both begin to laugh and say “oh you picked the lighter one because her hair must not be “pelo malo y duro” ( bad hair) I decided to ignore there comments. The stylist begins to wash my hair but puts in relaxer in my hair without my knowledge or consent! Once she’s done washing I go to one of the chairs and she begins to blow dry and straighten my hair as she’s doing my hair i hear other stylist in Spanish talking bad about other customers that are leaving and ones CURRENTLY in there chair. To avoid having problems I keep my mouth shut when they finish and I went home and found a chunk of my hair shorter then the rest they ripped/burned a piece of my hair off apparently this isn’t the first time that this has happened. The owner is nice and respectful but those hairstylist WILL be the downfall of her business. As for my friend she had to get a big chop to her hair after the “silk press”. Please think twice before coming here and I WILL be letting all my fellow black women and Afro latinas know DO NOT come to Erlinas.”

“Walked into the salon and was immediately greeted, asked what service I wanted and taken to the shampoo bowl to begin. Shampoo was spot on and appreciated the conditioner was the best and smelled outstanding. After the awesome shampoo the process to blowout my hair started and oh boy, it didn't disappoint. I will gladly return, the atmosphere was great and the service was top tier. Thank you! 😊”
