Hair Cuttery Announces North Carolina Expansion, Bringing 20+ Salons and 200+ Local Jobs by 2028

Hair Cuttery’s expansion into Raleigh and Charlotte marks an exciting new chapter, bringing professional haircare services and local career opportunities

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hair Cuttery Family of Brands (HCFB) is bringing its full-service salon experience to new cities across North Carolina, with plans to open more than 20 new Hair Cuttery salons and create over 200 career opportunities across the Raleigh and Charlotte markets by 2028.

The multi-year rollout kicks off in early 2027 with 14 locations, extending the brand’s reach well beyond its longstanding Elizabeth City shop. Target communities include Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, Huntersville, and Cornelius, bringing full-service haircuts, color, styling, and barbering to neighborhood shopping centers throughout both regions.

“This new chapter is about more than opening new locations. It’s about becoming part of these incredible communities,” said Eric Bakken, CEO of Hair Cuttery Family of Brands. “A salon is more than a place to get your hair done. It’s where life happens, from a child’s first haircut to neighbors catching up in the chair. As North Carolina’s communities grow, we look forward to growing alongside them and finding meaningful ways to give back.”

As Hair Cuttery expands into North Carolina, it looks forward to bringing professional haircare services and dedication to salon professionals’ growth. Team members will benefit from competitive pay plans, career development opportunities, and the support of a growing national salon organization.

“Growth like this is exciting because of the people at the heart of it,” added Bakken. “Every new salon is an opportunity to welcome new guests, support talented salon professionals, and build relationships with the people around us. We want to be a neighbor our guests can count on, a place where salon professionals can build successful and fulfilling careers, and a business that contributes positively to the communities we serve. We look forward to building those connections as we grow across North Carolina.”

Salon openings are expected to begin in early 2027 and continue throughout 2028. Additional details about salon locations, opening dates, career opportunities, and grand opening events will be announced as the expansion progresses.
