Tone is in a Salem Woods Drive office complex off Six Forks Road in Midtown Raleigh. The salon opened around 2021 under owner Leda Fazal, a stylist with seventeen years of industry experience who studied at William Peace College in Raleigh before going full-time on hair. Her bio describes a long route from NYC through several years of Raleigh chair work to the salon she runs now. The team is five stylists, with Cailin as Lead Stylist and Manager and the rest of the bench split between blonding, balayage, dimensional color, and vivids.
The salon’s defining service is the Swan Method, a hair-extension technique Leda holds a U.S. patent on. The pitch is a 360-degree one-step seamless install with minimal exposed threading, lasting ten to thirteen weeks with no scalp or natural-hair damage. The method is licensed nationally and is taught through an online certification course used by stylists in other states. That dual identity, working salon and national education brand, is worth knowing before you book. The course business is the larger half of the operation. The chair work is also genuinely offered, and Leda still takes clients.
Beyond extensions, the menu runs balayage, blonding, grey blending, color correction, Brazilian Blowouts, and precision cuts. The unusual service line is judgment-free dematting consultations, which the salon offers as its own intake-type appointment. Hours are listed broadly Tuesday through Sunday; treat the range as availability rather than literal salon hours, and book through Mangomint.
