True North Artistry — The Salon
This is the hair side of True North Artistry.
Nearly 19 years behind the chair, specializing in gray coverage, lived-in color, + hand-tied extensions for women who've stopped settling for "close enough."
The work is precise. The space is calm. The pricing is transparent — what you see is what you pay.
If that's what you've been looking for, you're already in the right place.
Where You’ll Find Me
True North Artistry is inside 1213 Studio — Plaza Midwood, Charlotte, NC.
The studio is warm. The walls have color. There are plants everywhere. It doesn't feel like a traditional salon, and that's intentional.
Easy access from Elizabeth, Chantilly, South End, Uptown, Villa Heights + NoDa. Free parking nearby. Full arrival details below so you're not guessing when you get here.
Choosing Your Session

Shop Hair Care and Home Support
The products I use are chosen by one standard: does it actually work without compromising your body?
These are the brands in my studio + in my own bathroom… and also my pantry!
Cult + King
Clean, plant-based hair care. No fillers, no synthetic fragrance. Formulated to support scalp health without stripping it — and the performance holds up without any of the compromise.
HAIRSTORY
One cleanser. Replaces shampoo + conditioner. Better scalp balance, better texture, less stripping over time. It sounds too simple until you actually try it.
AIIR / K18 /Surface Hair
Professional-grade repair + performance. Color protection, extension maintenance, structural integrity. These are doing the heavy lifting between appointments.
Lineage Provisions
Whole-food, ancestral supplements for digestion, hormone health, skin + hair vitality. I take these daily. They'd be in my routine whether or not there was an affiliate link.
