I also have been growing my color out for 3 years which has been tough and she put a little purple shampoo on the ends for me after a trim.

This review is 7 years overdue! I found Barb when I moved to the Atlanta area, and have been with…read moreher ever since! She uses the healthiest color and products for your hair and has expertise in both color AND cut (it's hard to find someone who is incredible at Both)! I love the balyage technique she uses--so natural-looking and much easier on the hair. I've lived in several states and I always dread "the search" for an amazing hairstylist when relocating to a new area. Lucky for me, I found Barb as soon as I moved here! She is Incredibly talented and an all-around wonderful person to boot! She is an expert and she knows what style/color will look best on you--I trust her wholeheartedly. More than 5 stars for Barb! :)

She believes in providing a service that the customer is satisfied with. Across the board she is a BOMB stylist! Do you have natural hair? No problem, she can style it for you. Is your hair relaxed? No problem, she can style it for you. For you ladies that love the Malaysian, Peruvian, Brazilian, etc... Nicky is a hair weave killer! I especially love her creativity where short cuts and color are concerned. Has this review been convincing enough? I could go on and on about how amazing Shaniqua is but you won't truly understand until you have experienced her work for yourself. I've been a customer of hers since coming to Atlanta in 2008 and I don't see that changing unless I leave this state. Check her out, check her out... You will not be disappointed.

My appointment was for an hour on a Saturday morning to get my extensions taken out and I was seen right away. It's always appreciated when your time is valued and you don't end up waiting 30 minutes to an hour past your appointment time, especially on weekends. The salon is nice and the staff is very professional! I will be going back for sure in the future.

Finding a hairstylist in Atlanta who is not only talented, but truly professional and cares about…read morethe health of your hair can be so hard, but I finally found the total package. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing. Raven was on time, extremely professional, and her work speaks for itself. The salon atmosphere was very upscale, clean, and elevated, everything about it felt intentional, welcoming, and high-end. The customer service was phenomenal, truly out of this world. Raven made me feel valued, heard, and well taken care of the entire time. On top of that, her prices are very reasonable, especially considering the unbeatable quality of service you receive. If you're looking for a stylist who delivers excellent results, prioritizes hair health, and provides a luxury experience, look no further. I'm beyond impressed and will definitely be returning!

I love Serriah and her hair care regimens! I started going to Serriah in January 2016, when I felt…read moremy hair had reached a plateau in growth. She opened my eyes to new styles that were healthy for my hair! Since I've been her client, I receive more compliments about my hair in its natural state than I ever did when it was straightened or relax. And my hair is suuuuuuuper long! Her products are created and produced by her and my hair is so thankful for it. Her hours are limited due to production of her product line but she will work with your schedule if you reach out and prove to be a worthy client. I'm slowly but surely trying to learn the techniques she uses because one day her product line is going to take her out of the shop and into stores full time!!

She is very knowledgeable about natural hair care and gives advice for in between appointments to keep hair healthy. She also has a line of products which work very well for my coily hair. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to maintain natural hair.

This review is for the Zapien's Salon at Lake Oconee. I assume the Zapien's in Atlanta is…read moresubstantially the same. What is Zapien's like? On the one hand, it is like coming to see friends. On the other hand, it is like stepping through a door and into a fashion show, complete with models, excited chatter, and glamor. In short, it has a terrific ambiance. When I enter, I check in at the desk. They remember my name. They bring me coffee and remember how I like it. There is not much waiting; Norman, who is both my stylist and the owner, comes up front to get me within a couple of minutes after I arrive. A Zapien's stylist doesn't begin with coloring or cutting. Instead, the stylist looks the client over like Michelangelo examining a new model. The stylist determines features that need emphasizing or de-emphasizing, the optimal shape and length for the hair, and (if the customer wants color, as I do), the optimal color. Then, the stylist discusses his or her impressions with the client. The stylist and client agree, and then the artistry begins. There's no need to go into the details of a cut and color. Suffice it to say that many people (the stylist, the color assistant, the wash assistant, the scheduler, and so on) have a role in helping the client, every one of them knows what they are doing, and every one of them executes to perfection. Zapien's is about more than hair: it is about making the client look and feel great. As one example, I have always had a ruddy complexion. I asked Norman whether he had any suggestions for hiding the redness. He looked me over (Michelangelo again) and gave me a suggestion I had never thought of. It was a Godsend: it worked perfectly. I will sum my experiences up like this: How good is Zapien's? So good that I start looking forward to my appointment three days before it is scheduled. I highly recommend.

It pains me to write this update. I was so enthusiastic about my first experience that I wrote the…read morevery first review and it was glowing! Initially, I'd used a Groupon and gotten a relaxer and one of the best haircuts I ever had! Six months later, I returned for a relaxer, cut and color. I asked if semi-permanent color would be used because my hair grade is pretty fine to begin with and it's safer. Toby said a demi would be fine and that he would even use a permanent color if he'd been doing my hair the whole time because it would be healthy enough. Needless to say, you could practically see my scalp afterwards. I went home and cried! In fairness, my hair wasn't in the best condition to begin with. But that is further evidence of why I think a demi was bad advice. I've since ditched relaxers, I eat better, take supplements and I'm back on my way to glorious locks again.. The Tobanizer still gives the best haircuts. He is truly gifted in this area. But I will not return.

I know what my hair is capable of looking and feeling like after styling from skilled stylists back home in Baltimore. But unfortunately again and again in Atlanta I would sit in someone's chair who would needlessly over blow dry my 4A natural hair into submission or make multiple passes with the flat iron, leaving my hair cute for that day but hella parched, straw like, hard to manage texture a few days later. But then I found Kim! I found Kim the way you should find a good stylist...by admiring her work in the streets. I asked a young lady who did her hair because it looked so healthy shiny full and nicely curled, and she shared that she just found Kim and you gotta go give her a try! After making an appointment online, went to the salon and loved the decor and the friendliness of the staff and that big beautiful smile from Kim! I'm not gonna lie that day I visited the salon my hair looked...well to be perfectly blunt...TRIFLIN ( now mind you I had just been to a hair salon 2 weeks prior who fried the hell out of my hair!). She sat me down calmed my fears, told me "Don't Worry! We Got You, We'll Take care of you!" And indeed she did! She did a pre-consultation 1st to know what my home care regimen was and made suggestions to get the best out of my hair at home, but first would have to rehabilitate my strands for a few visits with hydration treatments. I had my hair washed/conditioned/hydrated...Blow dried...and my blow session was soo relaxing it was almost therapeutic...there was no flinching and crouching down from the flames of the blow dryer, just enough to do the job without harm! And no 100 passes with the flat iron either! Start to finish I was in and out just about 2 hours! Ya'll I left out of hair with juicy bouncy curls! BUT the best part...my hair stay hydrated for nearly 10 days without needing to put any product in it whatsoever! I mean no need for hair spray, hair gloss, NOTHING to me that was the true test! I just left my 2nd visit and my hair is already responding so so well, I am so confidant in her skills that I feel like I finally say a wooosaaaah and trust that someone will get my hair to my desired length and thickness! Thank you Kim for everything! I have finally found my hairstyling Princess in the A!
