I have lived in the Atlanta area for a year. And it's embarrassing to admit that for more than 12 months I have totally neglected my hair and have not had one haircut or trim or anything! When I lived in South Carolina (prior to living in Georgia) I had a great stylist that I would see. Since moving to GA, I've had a really hard time finding a good Esthetician for my eyebrows so I've been too stressed to even start trying to find a good stylist for my hair that I didn't even bother looking, I just let my hair go. I finally started looking for someone when the split ends were getting out of control and it was becoming kind of hideous! I did some research and thanks to fellow yelpers came across BB Salon. I had actually first called another place that had equally great reviews and made an appointment with them (six weeks in advance too I want to add!). Then they had to cancel that appointment because the stylist had a conflict so to reschedule I basically had to wait another 6 weeks! There's a reason why I am bringing this up. When I called BB Salon, it was the culmination of my pathetic quest for a good Esthetician and Stylist and this other salon canceling my appointment that caused me to have diarrhea of the mouth and vent about not understanding why it is soo difficult to get a good appointment in Atlanta! Brooke answered the phone and just listened and turned into a therapist for five minutes! She then came to the rescue and was able to book me an appointment the NEXT day with one of her highly rated stylists named Amy (who I will talk about in a second!). First this review needs to take a second to commend Brooke for listening to my hysteria and for solving my problem in mins, I can't say thanks enough!
And now to talk about Amy. Amy has magic hands. *Sigh.* When I walked in, my hair looked TERRIBLE. I have always pretty much kept the same length at shoulder height or a bit longer. But because I had totally ignored my hair for so long and it was too thin and stringy and filled with split ends, when Amy asked me how much I wanted cut off, I told her that I actually didn't care, to cut as much as she wanted to. I reassured her that if I didn't like it, it would grow back, but to really take as much as she thought needed to be taken off. Best conversation ever! Amy is an artist and went to work and cut chunks off. My hair has never been so short and I found myself surprised to not mind the huge strands she was chopping off. Through it all she was doing some amazing layering and when it was done the styling she did was superb. I felt like I had a 50's bob and LOVED it. I walked out feeling amazing. I have never had so many compliments on my hair in my life! I saw Amy again yesterday for a trim and she took the time to show my how she styled it and even had me try curling it the right way. She is not only incredibly nice and really good at what she does, but she cares.
Soo, here are a couple of words of advice if you go to BB Salon:
- There is a small parking lot and it's just a bit tight. If you have a smaller car, use it.
- They have a very convenient online booking system. Saves time and it's super user friendly.
- Don't be fooled by the lack of decor. Aesthetically, the space looks very simple, but the quality of the service is stellar.
- The prices match what you get. This is not a SuperCuts. I think the price reflects the work and is fair.
- Lastly, enjoy your cut and hope you have a great experience too! read more
