Finding the perfect hairstylist in a city 2.4 million is no small feat -- and when you do find the one you love, you want to hold on to him or her with a steel death grip, for fear of losing your superhuman stylist to the masses. Luckily, for the ladies who are still on the hunt for the perfect match (or are looking to "see other people"), we've done some of the legwork for you. After searching the streets and sifting through thousands of reviews, we've tracked down the best hair salons in Charlotte so you can stop casually flirting with salons and finally settle down with "the one." And don't worry, we included our top five picks for the best salon -- so there are plenty to go around.

1. Cutting Image Salon
They say you have to love yourself first before you can love someone else. The stylists at Cutting Image Salon will help you fall in love with the natural texture of your hair, helping you to work with it and not against it. If you've been neglecting that hair of yours, treat it to their Powerdose conditioning treatment to restore and nourish your damaged 'do (just $10 when added to a cut). Cuts themselves are priced reasonably, ranging from $25-55 for a shampoo, haircut, and style. Full highlights are expertly applied (ask for Elizabeth if you're a blonde...or have blonde ambitions) for $80-100.

2. Re Salon and Med Spa
Sometimes, a beauty overhaul requires an entire team of experts. Enter Re Salon and Med Spa's team of stylists, spa therapists, and medical aestheticians -- AKA, your personal glam squad. This trifecta of beauty wellness can address your every need, from hairstyles and manicures to botox and laser treatments. With a board-certified plastic surgeon at the helm, you can breathe easy throughout your more invasive treatments, should you choose to partake. While some of the treatments offered at Re Salon and Med Spa are a little more intense than your standard mani-pedi, you'll be able to relax in a spa environment while they're performed -- if you have to get a shot, it may as well be in an oasis of tranquility, no?

Located in the historic Elizabeth neighborhood, Shine Salon is a clean, trendy, and open space. The hardwood floors, fireplace, and complimentary wifi will have you feeling like someone set up hair shop in your living room. At $45 for a shampoo, cut, and style, a visit to Shine will hardly create the dent in your budget that other hair salons leave. Add on some signature highlights for $75, and you've got yourself a brand new look that has been tailored for your face shape and coloring. Try their mini-glam session ($45) before a night out -- you'll pick up some tips for the right makeup for your face while knocking out the getting ready process at the same time.

4. Euphoria Salon & Spa
Euphoria Salon & Spa will make you feel like you've temporarily stepped into a mini European vacation. The owner, Yana, specializes in color correction, so if you had a DIY coloring gone wrong (and it usually does), all is not necessarily lost. Outside of hair treatments, Euphoria has a ton of spa packages that are the ultimate in relaxation. If you're in need of a serious pick-me-up, try their Heaven on Earth spa package. At $400, it's expensive to say the least, but it includes six hours of treatments, including a caviar facial. Pouring caviar on your face will make you feel like at least a million bucks, so it's $400 well-spent.

Besides color services that have clients writing rave reviews, Therapy offers facials, massages, ear candling, and every kind of hair removal you can think of, from sugaring to threading to good old-fashioned waxing. Spanning over two floors, you can get your hair done on the top level, then head to the spa downstairs for a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
