The Cynergy Color Bar team in the Wake Forest salon

Hair is not our business.
People are.

A 13-artist house in Wake Forest, North Carolina — built over twenty years by master stylist Cynthia Perry. This is the story of how a single chair became a Salon Today 200 honoree, five years running.

Twenty years behind the chair.
One standard.

Cynthia Perry didn't set out to build the most-awarded salon in Wake Forest. She set out to do hair the right way — every formula reproducible, every consultation honest, every artist trained on what the industry will be doing next, not what it was doing last year.

That standard built Cynergy from a single chair into the only Wake Forest salon holding the Salon Today 200 honor for five years. It's the standard every artist on the team is trained to. It's what every guest experience is measured against.

Cynthia is a master colorist, an EasiHair Pro certified extension artist, and the architect of Cynergy's VISH-precise color management system. She lives in Wake Forest with her family and is most often found in the salon perfecting a balayage or training the next generation of artists.

001 — The Philosophy

What we believe about hair.

We believe hair is a relationship, not a transaction. Every Cynergy guest is a multi-year relationship — not a one-off appointment. That's why every formula is logged, every consultation is recorded, every artist's notes follow you between visits.

We believe a salon is only as good as its weakest stylist. So every artist at Cynergy is continuously trained on the techniques the industry will be doing two years from now, not what it was doing two years ago. New techniques. New products. New approaches.

"We are the salon Wake Forest comes to when they want it done right — for the next ten years, not just the next six weeks."

We believe in transparency. Prices are quoted before service. Maintenance schedules are explained at consultation. Every guest leaves with a clear plan, not a surprise bill.

And we believe in our community. Cynergy is a Green Circle Salon — recycling up to 95% of our salon waste. We invest in our team's training, our space, and the long-term health of every guest's hair.

— The Standards

Three non-negotiables.

01 / Precision

Every formula reproducible.

Every color service uses VISH Bluetooth-scale management — your formula is logged, measurable, and reproducible across every visit. No "we'll get close." Your color is yours.

02 / Consultation

Every guest matched.

You're not paired with whoever's available. You're matched with the artist whose specialty fits your goals — balayage, extensions, correction, cuts. Every guest, every visit.

03 / Education

Every artist trained.

Every Cynergy artist commits to continuous education — new techniques, new tools, new products. The industry moves; we move ahead of it.

— The receipts

Awarded. Verifiable.

Every credential below is issued by an external body — Salon Today, Green Circle Salon, Phorest, EasiHair Pro. None self-awarded.
