WOW I AM SO THANKFUL AND BEYOND IMPRESSED!…read more First off, the process of getting your appointment is so very seamless and pain free, they were able to fit me in on short notice later in the week that I had called, and were super open and upfront about the pricing, costs, etc. so I felt great knowing what exactly to expect and budgeting accordingly. Cheryl is so very sweet and kind, so I was very happy to speak with such nice front office staff, as other salons I have been too, don't always have the best bedside manner. Secondly, my hairstylist Randy is a SAINT from heaven above! MY FAVORITE HAIRSTYLIST EVER!!! Oh my gosh I walked into this appointment a complete ball of nerves because I had a HORRID last "Curly Cut Appointment at a completely different hair salon in Buckhead, 7 years ago, that resulted in my hair being severely choppy and uneven when I had gone in for layers. From the moment I walked in to Salon Skanda, the staff was so very courteous and kind, offering me refreshments and walking me to my chair YAY! Then, I was BLESSED with Randy who was so reassuring, patient, and knowledgeable!! A HAIR WIZARD!! He asked me all about my hair, what it had been through, what I do with it styling-wise, how my Wash Day routines go, what I would like to see from this appointment, etc. I was so happy, because I feel like at other salons, they only ask about the cut you want and then they go straight into it. Randy gave my hair much needed tender, loving care and didn't rush into cutting or manipulating my hair in any way. He suggested we wash first, and they offer an affordable special where you can receive a deep conditioning treatment that contains peppermint oil prior to your shampooing, so I selected that, and I was so at peace and so relaxed as he washed my hair I nearly fell asleep, which never happens!!! All my nerves had dissipated at this point and I was simply enjoying the service as much as possible and soaking everything in. Meanwhile, as he washed my hair, he asked me more about my washing practices and what products I used during the process at home, and he offered such amazingly helpful suggestions that will make my Wash Days magical instead of tiresome and laborious!! I left the shampoo bowl with squeaky clean hair, smelling like a spa, and super moisturized and defined! He was so very gentle as well. Once we got to styling, this is where I got to see the magic happening with my own eyes! He worked through each and every part of my hair, leaving no section ignored or neglected; meticulously, he went throughout all of my curls ensuring that each ringlet was properly coated with enough product of climate definition and zero frizz! By the time, he was done diffusing, I was AMAZED! My hair looked absolutely fabulous, smooth, shiny, defined, voluminous, and with ZERO FRIZZ! Even my hair shape itself, the reason why I went in in the first place, had completely transformed beyond belief! I walked in with an uneven curly Mullet, and walked out with the most PERFECT shape before I even got it shaped and cut. Then, when it came to the Big Finale that I was scared of the most, the Cut itself, Randy was so considerate! I was TERRIFIED, I had not had a haircut (besides trims I gave myself) in 7 YEARS, and my last experience somewhere else was an utter and complete NIGHTMARE, as I watched my ringlets fall to the floor in clumps. This time, it was CATHARTIC and THERAPEUTIC!! Randy let me hold up a mirror and see EXACTLY what was going on and what needed to be improved in the front and the back! There was no mystery, no vagueness, no guessing, I got to see everything he planned on doing and he explained why thoroughly, so by the time he was done showing me, I didn't even have any questions, which is unheard of!! Considering, I used to the the type of person to run away from haircuts, this was nothing short of a miracle and it was all thanks to RANDY THE MAGNIFICENT! PLEASE TREAT YOURSELF AND YOUR HAIR TO A SALON SKANDA APPOINTMENT, IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!

Where can I start. Well after 12 years of not changing my hairstyle I decided to finally cut it…read more My hair was very long. I went to a high end master stylist who ignored my wants and was cutting 5 other peoples hair at the same time. I left that salon in tears. The result was awful. I made an appointment with Darrea 1 week following that awful haircut. My expectation was low after such a bad experience. I got lost on the way to the salon and arrived 30 mins late. Darrea welcomed me with a smile. I explained my previous experience and wanted to know if she could correct the hairstyle and I showed her the same pictures I showed the previous hairstylist. After the consultation Darrea reassured me that she could cut my hair the way I wanted it. She kept her promise. I LOVE MY HAIRSTYLE. I left the salon feeling so good. I keep getting compliments on my haircut. She really is a master stylist. I don't want anyone else touching my hair but her.

Genie is extremely racist against people who are white and she is a horrible hair stylist. I left…read morehere in tears, it was nothing but lies and disappointment. I've never had an experience like this in my entire life, please save yourself the trouble and whatever you do, do not go here. I cut my hair very short and really wanted extensions. Genie promises all over her website that she guarantees satisfaction and that she is an expert in the hair industry..she is not. Look at what she did to the other client who left a 1 star review on Google reviews..Genie does not know how to do hair! Halfway through the hair appointment, Genie began to tell me how much she hated white women telling me that they're not human, "they're all ugly", and that she "loves to take their money" to do their extensions. I kept quiet and she even became annoyed with me for not agreeing with her. At this point, I knew I had made a mistake coming to her because no professional, normal, good person would talk about how much they hate a certain race for hours on end; it was absolutely unbelievable. Later in the appointment, I hear Genie say "Uh oh." She had run out of hair for my extensions despite me having come in the week prior for a consultation to get my EXACT measurements. After paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars, I was left with sparse, stringy, unblended, thin extensions with my tracks showing through which you can see in the picture. I was crying because I was so devastated by how horrible the finished version of my hair looked. She started to panic and gathered some random, off-colored pieces of hair that she found lying around. She put those random pieces in my head all the while telling me that she's the best in the business but she didn't know what to do. I went home with my hair looking terrible, and I took it out after only a few days. Another stylist who removed Genie's extensions for me told me that the hair was incredibly low quality which is not what Genie promised...Genie is in her 70s or 80s and she is out of touch with how extensions should be put in. She's a good saleswoman because I truly believed she would be "different" and "fix all of my hair problems" and that she has the best of everything and is an expert, but it's all lies. Another client that I saw in her office had thin hair extensions that didn't look blended well and my hair was also this way too. The pictures on her website also look very old to me as if they're from a long time ago, so I'm not sure if Genie used to be a good stylist years ago, but she no longer knows how to do hair. She charged me $600 for the hair plus the time to put it in and it didn't even look good! I've been getting extensions since I was 12 years old, and I've never ever paid that much especially for the hair to look so low quality and for poor service from such an unprofessional, no-skill, racist woman.

I've been to Genie at LA Hair 3 times now, once for my initial put in of my extensions, once for a…read moretightening and then again for a take down and put back in of my extensions. Not only is Genie professional but she does an outstanding job! Since getting my extensions my actual hair health has greatly improved, even my regular stylist mentioned it. She suggested me to use The Conditioner by Paul Mitchell on my new hair as well as my own hair and my hair went from somewhat frizzy and overworked due to the mass amount of heat I put on it to shiny and healthy. I could never leave the house without flat ironing my hair or it looked terrible, now with this product + the extensions that are identical to the texture of my hair I can leave the house with a wet head even and my hair turns out wonderfully. I definitely recommend her services, especially after having extensions in the past! Also, just to notate - I am caucasian, with fine hair, and my extensions stay without slipping for several weeks. She works magic! :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Allison McTigue Salon! When I first met with Allison, I…read morewas seeking both education and honest guidance regarding extensions and overall hair health. During my consultation, she took the time to thoroughly explain what the investment would entail--maintenance, care schedule, and long-term expectations. As someone who travels for work nearly 15 days a month, I was hesitant about my ability to stay committed to the upkeep. Allison's transparency, expertise, and authentic approach gave me the confidence to move forward--and I am so grateful I did. I am beyond happy with the exceptional service, flexibility, and genuine care I have received from Allison and her entire team. Their professionalism and passion truly stand out. I highly recommend AMS for all your hair care and extension needs. You will leave feeling educated, confident, and cared for--never disappointed!

Renee cut my hair plus the extensions skillfully, and she created such a natural looking blend that the extensions are virtually undetectable.
