I have been coming here to see Raquel since 2013. I found the salon with a groupon way back when…read moreand I'm so happy I did! Even after moving to Vinings, this is my ONLY place for hair!
The salon is very close to Emory, but it's a little off the main drag, so parking is a piece of cake. The salon itself is very eclectic-- lots of cool art, jewelry, and (of course) a wide array of hair products. There is also a comfy sitting area with magazines, a keurig, and sweet treats (Monica always finds delicious goodies) for anyone waiting. I have rarely had to wait more than 5 min though.
The color table is in the middle of a room so you can chat with other clients and read magazines while you process. Pretty cool.
The salon offers an array of services including cuts, styling, color, punky color, and keratin treatments.
Now onto the hair: Raquel is an artist. She is amazing. Her color skills are second to none, and her cuts are fabulous. Whether you want a beautiful balayage, a foxy bob, cheerful highlights, or pastels and pinky colors, Raquel has you covered. She will listen to what you want and any concerns, and she will explain what she is planning to do so there isn't any confusion. The results, in my experience, have always exceeded my expectations.
I am a natural brunette, and when I met her, my hair was blue black with bangs. We transitioned to a brunette bob with honey highlights, then a blonde lob, an auburn mid length cut, long mahogany waves, long red with rose gold highlights and side bangs and most recently, long red with rose gold, violet, and pink undertones. Every cut has grown out well and the colors have blended and looked gorgeous long after most would have faded.
The product lines are really high quality and styling at the studio always makes me feel completely gorgeous before I walk out the door. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of cut, color, and experience. I have recommended this studio (and especially Raquel) to several friends and they have each been thrilled with their results.
If you are looking for amazing hair, this is your place and Raquel is your girl.
