Top salon for color. Charming house in a chic neighborhood. Spend your day getting your hair done then shopping neighborhood on foot!

I went to see the color expert to fix a problem I had with an at-home color job that went awry. Her solution was to apply "color camo" for $90. If you're not familiar with this treatment, it's a 30-second wash-in followed by a 5-minute wait and shampoo/rinse. No special color application whatsoever. I quite literally could have done it myself at home. Did it fix the problem? No, but it helped a bit. All in all, I got completely ripped off by a hack claiming to be an expert. A waste of time and money. read more

I came in for a facial and Ashleigh did an amazing job. She also did an amazing job with my chemical peel. Ashleigh has been an essential component for my skin care! I used to know nothing about skin care and always had issues with acne. She did an amazing job in educating me and recommending products that work. She even sold me cover up at Carter Barnes that doesn't make my skin break out like most products do. My skin has improved dramatically with the help of her education, facials, and chemical peels. Also, she did my make up for a Christmas party and I've never looked better. Everyone complimented my make up. I recommend Ashleigh for anything and everything related to the face. read more

My stylist Brianna is truly a hair artist. She turned my hill billy looking hair into beautiful swingy sorority girl hair. Haircut: I had long hair down to the middle of my back with no style. It was pretty awful. I came in Saturday and gave her a vague idea of what I want. Long layers, not choppy, kinda U kinda V shaped in back, keep it below the shoulders. Boom. She gave me exactly what I was picturing in my head. Beautiful swingy hair with layers that flowed and didn't look like a shelf. Everyone at work has been oohing and awwing about my hair. I did the big test when you actually do your hair yourself after you wash it. Still looks good! Yay! It's been at least 10 years since my hair dress left me (he moved jerk!). I am so happy to have finally found a great hair dresser! I hope we have a long relationship together! Salon: The girl at the reception desk was super nice. Made me feel very welcome. Con: Not a big fan of the $45 to blow out my hair. Would rather just pay straight up $90 for a haircut. read more

Yolanda did my hair and did a wonderful job! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I had to go back a second time to get the balayage done through the ends of my hair. It only took to the top because my hair was so long. Yolanda did learn from the first time though, and did a different technique the second time and free of charge to get the results I wanted. I also did the olaplex treatment to help my hair not get so damaged during the coloring process, it was great! This is one of the FEW (very few just to be clear) salons where you can buy the 3rd product of the olaplex to maintain the results. I Would highly recommend here based on the experience I had. I believe many of the stylists have different expertise so let them know when you make the appointment and I'm sure they'll get you to the right person. Did I mention the retail area has higher end products that other salons don't offer in addition to ones other salons do read more

Carter Barnes On Paces - I did the balayage so there are free hand highlights through out. I Love it!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Nestled in a lovely Buckhead neighborhood, Carter Barnes is as good as it gets. In particular I get my facials here with April, and she is such an expert, I have followed her from Alpharetta to now Buckhead. She intrinsically knows different product lines and how they will work on your skin, and in laymens terms she provides instructions on how to use them on your own for best possible result. I trust her immensely with making and keeping my skin glowing and beautiful, and I suggest everyone get a facial with her. Carter Barnes is all around top notch for your beauty needs and April is the best there is in her field!!! read more

I have been going here ever since I moved to Atlanta. They have had some issues with an unprofessional front of the house staff and still do on some days but overall they are polite and friendly. I would highly recommend Amy for a men's haircut. I have only not gone to her when she was fully booked. The only slight downside is with this location the only parking option is valet but it's complimentary. read more

I fell asleep from the relaxing and comfortable environment. I woke up with the face of a baby. Ashleigh did an awesome job!!!

I enjoyed yet another visit to Carter Barnes on my visit to Atlanta!!! I have had the privilege on each visit to get a great style with a professional stylist! Julian was in charge of my tresses today and what a treat!!!Will always be a patron.... Tricia F. read more

Finding a new hairdresser is very scary especially when it comes to color. Saw an acquaintance who had a great hair cut and color - she recommended Carter Barnes. My stylist is Lisa. She does a great job with color and crisp cuts. Her assistant AJ is a gem. Pricy but worth it. I only get cut and color. Blow dry charge is a bit much if you are not going anywhere special afterwards. They have a station downstairs with products, dryers, irons, etc.. I highly recommend it. read more

This review is for Mojgen and her fabulous waxing skills!! Mojgen has become a dear friend of mine and she has been waxing my eyebrows as long as I can remember. I recently moved to DC but am so scared to try anywhere else since Mojgen does such a good job. Whenever I come home she is my first stop! read more

Mitchell, one of the owners, has been my stylist for 20+ years. I was unable to visit the salon for about 7 mo. On my return I was welcomed w/open arms not just as a client but as a friend. I have had long hair/short bob & in recent years a pixie. Mitchell is the ONLY one who knows how to make my hair look its best, including my color ! Rachel & Stephanie, his assistants are wonderful. Everyone is very professional there. The price reflects the talent & the area. read more

YOLANDA NAILED IT. Great mens haircut from Long (shoulder length) to short/professional and attractive. Exceptional service, friendly and clean. This was my first visit but I will def. be back! read more

I have been an extremely satisfied client of Carter Barnes Paces since it opened. Prior to that, I went to Carter Barnes Phipps. This salon not only offers the most professional services in Atlanta, but also provides excellent customer service. From the gentleman who parks your car to the colorist and stylists, everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I must give special kudos to Jackie Stewart, my colorist. She is like a magician. Not one person leaves the salon without color which is natural and perfect. You could never guess that Jackie's blonde clients may not be natural blondes. I must also single out Mojgan, the esthetician who does facials and waxings. She is excellent. After she performs a facial, you are so fresh faced and relaxed that all you want to do is take a nap right there on the spot. I highly recommend the services of Carter Barnes Phipps and its staff. You will not be disappointed! read more

For over 10 years I have been going to Jackie Stewart aka The Color Goddess for highlights. Jackie is amazing and my color has never looked better. I first came to see her my freshman year in college when my color need some major TLC. My blonde highlights were really brassy and within 2 visits Jackie had turned my brassy blond to a beautiful golden blonde. I have received tons of compliments ever since and just wanted to reach out to those wondering where to turn to if they are in need of some color TLC! Thanks Jackie love ya!! read more

I wanted my daughter's first real haircut with shampoo & blow dry to be special. I called Carter Barnes where I went for years and asked for a quote on a child's haircut and the lady on the phone said that will be $30. I said OK, great!!! What does that include? She said shampoo, cut & blow dry... awesome! We made an appointment and while the stylist did a great job, they charged me $45 plus tip of course... I explained that I was quoted $30 on the phone and she said "Awe, I am sorry" ... I said so you will not honor what they told me? She said "Awe, I am sorry... so am I.... we will never go back. That's called bait & switch... read more

I loved One stylist, but not the person she worked under. I liked another stylist, but she doesn't own rollers...Here's my story... I initially booked an appointment with goodness knows who, speicifically requesting a stylist who specialized in black hair, and who was able to provide a roller set. In route to my appointment, I am phoned and asked to come in earlier than the scheduled time. I comply, and end up waiting 20 minutes over the scheduled time, in addition to the 15 minutes I arrived early only to find that the stylist that was booked for me "didn't even own rollers!" So I call, and ask to have a manager contact me because as I am checking out, the guy who is rather flamboyant, sighs as though I'm taking to long as I requested a $25.00 tip amount, reminding me that I was not to request cash for personal reasons, but for tips only-I didn't need a reminder on this. Anyway, that was insulting as my stylist received the entire $25.00 in all 5's. Nevertheless, I spoke with a Heidi who offered to take 20% off my next visit. Next visit, Heidi actually booked on my behalf, and supposedly with a person who was able to roller set. Well, my schedule was pressed, so I asked to just air dry, and whilst there, the person with whom I was booked this time was really nice. However, a deep red-headed older lady kept standing over me, and instructing My stylist as she did my hair. This was devastatingly irritating! Also it was something that I did not appreciate because this was supposed to be my time with this really nice stylist. Well, it wasn't, and this lady was on her way to Home Depot after interrupting my conversation without an excuse me, at least 6 more times as she asked about locations and blocking air vents. Well, this was a turn off, as the employee clearly saw that I was a client, and that I deserved my time to get to know my new stylist. The last part that was so insulting was checkout when a Asian/Black younger girl yells out, "Why are you supposed to have a discount? Who told you that? I don't see anything about you having discount! What is it for?!" To make matters worse Maria, a supposed manager talks over me and asks the same questions, out loud and says she has to call to verify that what I'm saying is true. More embarassing? Heidi was no where to be found. Luckily, I documented my conversation with Heidi. What's even wilder, I didn't request a discount, it was offered by disappearing Heidi. I was so incredibly insulted that I even though I really like the stylist I saw, I'm reluctant to return to this salon because of the insulting way in which I have been treated. I mean really, you go and pay top dollar for services, wouldn't you think that you would be treated very well? In this case no, and even the guy who checks you out, eyes you from the bottom up to see what you look like from head to toe before even taking your money. Gladly, I am worth a lot more than this salon treats me like especially since I'd requested that one of the three owners contact me, and they sent Heidi who did not return my call, to venture out and perhaps make the same mistake a third time? I just don't have the time to figure this place out. *Oh and you MUST valet when you park at their renovated location on Paces. ****Will I ever find a salon in my favorite city that delivers quality, top-notch service? read more

I have been going to Perri at Carter Barnes for 20+ years. I have Red Hair. My mom saved a swatch of hair win I was young, and wisely told me to hold on to it, " I may need it someday". I didn't know what she meant until I started to turn grey. I met Perri, gave her the swatch and she matched it perfectly. I had a lot of prior bad experiences with coloring to Red, I have been with them ever since. I travel over 50 miles to get her to do my color. If you want a salon with talent and personable and quality coloring/styling, this is the place. Well worth the drive and cost. This group takes great pride in their work!!!! HIghly recommended. read more

I just moved to Atlanta and went to 2 other salons before finding Carter Barnes. I called to make an appointment and the front desk booked me with Breana. She gave me the exact haircut I was looking for. I highly recommend Breana if you're looking for a fresh look and a good conversation! read more
