Hello, 

 

I’m Eric McPhaul, owner of Planet 21 Salon.

 

First, I want to thank all of our amazing stylists and staff. We couldn't have grown our salons without our amazing clients and future clients that have supported us for so many years!

 

An owner is only as good as his staff. Our staff is only as good as our amazing clientele!

 

I opened up Planet 21 Salon in 1998 with a vision to not only do great hair but also deliver an experience the client wouldn’t forget. I wanted a really fun, upbeat, sexy first class vibe like no other. 

 

I started with nine chairs at the time and within ten years we expanded and opened another location in Ballantyne which has also been expanded three times!

 

I love changing the salon's decor, vibe and overall atmosphere every few years. It provides our clients, staff and stylist a space to enjoy, be creative and stay exciting. We are Charlotte's first and only departmentalized salon which means all of our stylists specialize in cut or color after finishing a years training program with our senior stylists who have been with our salon for 15 - 22 years.

 

I think our clients love the fact that we keep things changing and exciting.

 

So with all that said, I hope you can tell what we are about and what we stand for.

 

Excellence, quality and a first class experience. From the time you walk in until the time you leave. We look forward to seeing you soon at one of our salons.

 

Yours truly,

 

​
