Salty • Salon & Barber

The most well-curated, kindhearted salon I’ve ever experienced! While visiting the Outer Banks, I took my 13-year-old son to get a haircut—and let’s just say he walked out looking more like Will from Stranger Things than the confident teen I know. He was crying, I was crying. Total disaster. In a panic, I searched for help and saw that Salty was just down the road from the barber shop that shall not be named. I popped in on a whim, and Forrest immediately took one look at my son and kindly squeezed him in. Thankful doesn’t even begin to cover it. While Forrest worked his magic (and yes, it was magic), I wandered through their beautifully curated retail space—ended up buying the cutest hat—and even got to snuggle with their sweet pups. The whole space radiates warmth, intention, and love

This salon is really beautiful! My wife and I stopped in to the shop just for fun and had a great chat with a very friendly employee. The vibe is awesome, merchandise is unique, the salon is bright and clean, and its a welcoming atmosphere. They have a few friendly pups in the shop area as well. My wife wants to come back for a hair appointment now so we’re glad we found this place!

Highly recommend Salty Salon and Goods!!!The barber is professional and gives the best fades on the beach. If you’re looking for a tight fade and excellent service, go see the salty barber. Their merch is fire! I just got one of their new salty hats and it pairs perfectly with my fade. If you’re looking for lowkey but fire apparel, check out their shop as well!

Finally found a great salon since moving to the area! Everyone there is so extremely friendly!! My daughter gets her hair colored and cut by Caroline and she does an incredible job and I just had my hair cut by Kristen and am soooo happy and that is saying alot since I'm a bit picky,.walked out feeling happy not dissapointed. The salon itself is beautiful and serene. This is THE salon, look no further!!

Salty is truly a world-class experience with the heart and warmth of your favorite local spot. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel a blend of top-tier professionalism and genuine care that’s rare to find anywhere. But what sets this place apart for me personally is Forest (owner) - master barber/stylist and a true artist in his craft. His skill goes beyond just a haircut; he has a gift for understanding what his clients need and translating that into a style that empowers them. When I visited Salty before heading into an important professional event, I came in simply needing a fresh cut. But Forest saw more. He envisioned a look that would give me confidence both on the course and off. The result was incredible: I walked into that event feeling sharp, polished, and complet
