Our Story

About Simply Gorgeous Hair Salon

A Durham salon devoted to elegant hair, healthy results and the confidence that comes with both.

Since 1998

Our story

Simply Gorgeous was founded on a simple belief: every woman deserves to feel beautiful.

For more than two decades, our salon on Camden Avenue has been a place where Durham comes to be pampered, refreshed and transformed. From classic up do's and doobies to modern silk presses, weaves, braids and color, we have grown alongside our clients — many of whom have trusted us with their hair for years.

We welcome walk-ins, celebrate every hair texture and treat every guest like family.
