National hair salon chain opening first Triangle locations. Here's where
Full service unisex salon experience chain Hair Cuttery plans to open four locations across the Triangle by next year, opening in Raleigh, Durham, Cary and Chapel Hill by Monday, Feb. 1 . By 2028, the Hair Cuttery Family of Brands plans to add more than 20 new salons and 200 jobs to the Raleigh and Charlotte areas. By mid-2027, 14 locations will be operational, the business’ press release said. “This new chapter is about more than opening new locations,” Eric Bakken, CEO of Hair Cuttery said in a press release. “A salon is more than a place to get your hair done. It’s where life happens, from a child’s first haircut to neighbors catching up in the chair. As North Carolina’s communities grow, we look forward to growing alongside them and finding meaningful ways to give back.” Focused on “crafting confidence with care,” the Triangle salons will offer cut, color, style, chemical treatments, blowouts, waxing, and extension services. New salon locations Raleigh ’s location will be at 2603 Glenwood Ave. at the corner of Glenwood Avenue and Oberlin Road. The Durham salon’s address is 1051 Yunus Rd off of Ellis Road while Cary ’s will be in Crescent Commons at

Wake Forest's Blackbird Brewing is bringing its beer to downtown Durham
Wake Forest's Blackbird Brewery is opening a taproom in downtown Durham's Unscripted hotel , taking over the space formerly occupied by Pour . Why it matters: The move introduces a new local spot for drinks and food downtown looking out onto CCB Plaza. State of play: Blackbird plans to begin selling beer this month in the Corcoran Street space. "A rolling opening is what we're calling it," Blackbird co-founder Harmony VanGundy says, laughing as she adds: "We still have no money. We need to sell some beer to make things happen." Because what they do have is product — a wide selection of beers brewed in Wake Forest — as well as permits, furniture and taps on the wall. Hours are not set, but Blackbird in Durham will "for sure" be open for the downtown tree-lighting on Nov. 21 and for other holiday events in December. What they're saying: "I just hope Durham likes us as much as we like them. They're tough, man. Tough crowd there. They kicked out Dampf BBQ real quick," she says with a laugh. Durham's beer drinkers have advanced palates, she tells Axios. "We're excited to have a space that when we make a smoked

Some Chinese Lantern Festival ticket sellers are trying to take advantage of you
Tickets to Cary’s Chinese Lantern Festival shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg. If you’re searching for tickets for the annual event and seeing prices that seem too high, like $85 or more per ticket, you’re not looking in the right place. I checked ticket prices on three platforms — StubHub, VividSeats and GoTickets — Monday morning. All tickets were for a 4:30 entrance to the festival Nov. 21, but the prices varied. GoTickets was selling two “general admission” tickets for $85 each. VividSeats was selling the tickets for as low as $57 each. And on StubHub, the tickets were $63 each. The best way to buy tickets online is directly from Koka Booth Amphitheatre’s website ( boothamphitheatre.com ). You’ll be redirected to Etix, an authorized sales agent, where you’ll choose your tickets — for a specific evening or “twilight” session, or for any night.

Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club — Venue For APS Holiday Fundraiser. A Facebook post showing unsanitary kennels, moldy pet food and dead dogs piled into an incinerator at the Durham County animal shelter began circulating Wednesday afternoon, shared more than 100 times before the organization that runs the shelter pushed back on what the images actually show. The Animal Protection Society of Durham, which operates the East Club Boulevard facility, says the photographs are historical and do not reflect current conditions inside the building.
