The salon is great, it's in little five points and has perfect lighting. Very boho/indie vibe with it looked like 3 stylists when I went in. I went to Ryan, found him on Instagram and loved the haircut/fix blowout he provided. Plus, he was super helpful in giving me advice on how to rehab my hair and gave me real feedback on letting me know what I wanted to do just wasn't possible and why! Hair came out great. I would recommend, just arrive a little earlier. Parkings a pain! read more

I tried Ashley for color and cut because her profile said one of her specialties was "grey coverage". I asked her to cut more layers on the top and her response was to tell me why I don't want that (I am 60yo and know what works for my hair). I noticed that the color didn't burn my scalp like it usually does.....less than a week later it was as if I'd never been there, grey all over the place. The cut was minimal, barely changed the too-long hair I walked in with. At the end I was handed a pay app with 20% as the minimum option (no Other option to enter the tip I wanted to pay). Premium prices for substandard service!! read more

Ryan Lawless has been my hair stylist for about a year and a half and has completely transformed my hair. I met Ryan after a bleach accident with fragile, brittle hair. Ryan did a color correct and has slowly brought my hair from a texture of hay to healthy restored smooth texture and shine. He is a color expert, especially for blondes. I am so thankful to Ryan! Also, don't sleep on his blowout package- he is a literally blowout king and I'm obsessed. read more

Had a fantastic experience with Meredith Gunter recently! The stylist I had used for years was no longer going to work and on a whim I tired Meredith. Most importantly, my hair is PHENOMENAL. I was going from years of blonde balayage towards my more natural brunette color and she explained everything and made me feel totally comfortable with the expected outcome. Which then the outcome was even better than I was hoping. Her color skills are on point and she understood the way me hair needed to be cut. On top of all this, the convo was truly great! Like are we best friends now?!?! Needless to say, I will for sure be back! read more

If it was possible to give a place zero stars on yelp, that's what I would give this establishment. The salon itself is super cute, but that's the only nice thing I can say I find the professionalism aspect at this particular place to be severely lacking as other reviewers have noted The stylist I saw basically acted like a child because I called her out for moving my appointment back and then starting it late, which then led me to miss another appointment later in the day. I had made her aware of my other appointment commitment when she asked to push my appointment back and she assured me we would be done in time. And I will add that she asked me on multiple occasions to push my appointment times back day of, which I was happy to accommodate when I did not have other plans that followed. After I confronted her about her timeliness or lack there of at this appointment, her entire attitude changed and quite frankly she acted like a real lunatic. She basically manhandled my head and hair in the shampoo bowl. it was 20° outside and she proceeded to ask me if I wanted her to blow dry my hair so I said yes at which time she basically ripped through my hair with a brush so aggressively that it hurt. Then she left half of my head wet, and then proceeded to charge me for a blow dry when I left the salon. I paid her for her work, and I walked out that door, swearing that I would never come back. I actually had not really cared to leave a review about this incident because honestly it's not even worth my emotional energy. It just so happens that I ran into said stylist earlier today and heard her gossiping to the person she was with about how she fired me as a client. I found that to be hilarious, considering I never even attempted to come back to that place or book with her again I'm pretty sure she could tell by my mannerisms when I left the salon that she would never see me again in the first place. it's really cute that you want to tell other people that you fired someone just because they called you out about your unprofessional behavior and your half ass service. I would have never walked back in that place again after this experience and I have told everyone that I know not to go there. I would advise that you do the same. I now go to a place in Summerhill that's incredible and my stylist is a professional, mature acting adult, who doesn't assault my head with a brush and blow dryer which I greatly appreciate after this experience Also, my hair looks 1000 times better. read more

I'm really unhappy with my hair cut and color. *she asked me to send a photo of my current hair and what I wanted days before the appointment. *The person doing my hair told me after the appointment that what I booked for wasn't the right price and charge me $50 more. *It took over 3 hours to dye my hair black and cut my hair. *I reached out to the owner to tell her I didn't like my hair cut and she told me that what my hair looked like when I left l, and the photo I showed her looked similar and tbh didn't seem to show compassion about I felt. *my visit cost 240 including tip. read more

Not sure why this place gets so many great reviews. My experience there was super underwhelming. It was my first post-pandemic haircut and it was a big splurge for me but because of the great reviews and the proximity to my house I decided to give this place a try. Jordy was listed as a curly hair stylist and her rates were 120.00 for two hours. I booked an appointment in the late afternoon and because it was a Friday in Little 5 Points, and because the salon has no parking I made sure to get there in plenty of time. I got there a few minutes before my appointment at 5:00. There was no one there except another stylist and her client. They didn't acknowledge me at all, which was odd, but it's a chair rental salon so there's no other staff. My first impression was how cold and unwelcoming the vibe was. It's a big cavernous space with no warmth. Literally. The AC was blasting even though the front doors were wide open. Five o'clock came and went, and I sat there dumbly waiting for ten more minutes. Finally, Jordy came out from the back and asked me if I was her 5:00 appointment. She performed a very cursory consultation and said she would shape up my hair and use a razor, which was what I wanted. I was really excited about it. She took me over to the shampoo chair and that's when thing started to go sideways. She barely touched my head, just ran some water over it and lifted strands of my hair and dropped them. No scalp massage, no vigorous shampooing, no explanation of the products she was using, or rather product because I'm pretty sure she didn't apply conditioner at all. She mumbled something about the salon having a new product line that she was still learning about but didn't say much else about it. What she did say plenty about was herself. I learned she'd just had a birthday, how old she was, where she was born, where she lived, where her parents met, what movies she liked and how much weed she smokes ( a lot ). In my experience, hairstylists are a chatty bunch, so no surprise there, but talking about how much weed you smoke with a first time client is questionable, professionally. She asked if I wanted my hair diffused or air dried. I said I always let it air dry. So, she stopped and said what do think? She had barely cut anything. I told her it was fine to take off more. The entire time she was spraying my hair with a water mister. That's the only thing she used. I thought she would add some styling products at some point because curly hair needs product to keep it from frizzing, but no. She kept spraying and trimming lightly then said okay. She was done. My hair was still really wet when she handed me the mirror and spun the chair around so I could look at it. It wasn't all that different from what I could see but it seemed a little shorter and I thought it would be more apparent once it dried. But no. Sadly, when it dried it looked like a horrible, frizzy fight wig. By then it was an hour after I had left. I was meeting a friend for dinner and didn't have time to mitigate the horror. Jordy spent about 45 minutes on my hair, charged me her rate for two hours and on top of that I foolishly tipped her 20%. I have no idea what weed costs these days but I imagine she was probably able to score enough to tide her over for the weekend with that amount of money. I mentioned my experience to a friend and she told me that she had never had a good experience at Commoner, with any of the stylists. She said that her sweet boyfriend had gotten her a very generous gift card from there that she was excited about but after her service she went home and cried because she felt he had wasted his money on such a subpar service. She also told me that she had witnessed another egregious lapse in service there the only other time she went. A client showed up to have her hair done for her wedding and the stylist never showed up! Anyway, I reached out to Jordy a few days later and told her how unhappy I was with her service. No surprise but I got no response. She obviously doesn't care about client retention or professionalism. read more

I followed my favorite stylist to this salon, so really the five stars is for Ariel DeAngelo. If you are looking for natural, long-lasting, grow-outable (pretty sure that's not a word, but you know what I mean) color, then Ariel is your girl. I could probably get away with getting my hair done every six months or more because her highlights grow out so naturally and are so well blended. Her cuts are also beautiful and do a great job of making my super thick hair look a little tamer. The only downside is that the word is out that Ariel is awesome, so she books up fast. Thankfully, Commoner has a super easy to use online booking system, so it's easy to assess availability and nab an open appointment that works for your schedule. Commoner as a salon is also lovely. The vibe is laid back, warm, and inviting, with cathedral height ceilings, sky lights, exposed brick, and lots of warm earth tones. It doesn't have a "hair salon" smell, and instead, it feels like your really cool friend's hygge-filled living room. There's not a ton of parking right by the salon, but it's located in very walkable Little Five with lots of street parking in the neighborhood. read more

I am excited to hear that Ryan Lawless will be working at Commoner Salon! I have known Ryan for a while now, and I have recommended so many people to go to him. His talent is unmatched and I recommend that you book an appointment with him. In addition to doing top notch hair, he is hilarious and such a pleasure to chat with. read more

I just had my first color with Ryan. First of all he was so personable and nice. He even sent me texts before my first appointment to get ideas of what I wanted so he could allot more time and make sure he was prepared with what I wanted. He totally fixed my bad color and gave a great blowout. The salon has a cool vibe as well. Highly recommend. read more

Wow. Ryan Lawless is a magician/true expert/all around wonderful person. My hair needed color correction and I had very low expectations that it would even lift to the color I wanted since it's naturally dark brown and was boxed dyed. Ryan reached my dream color in one session!! I am truly amazed. Ryan is so talented, thoughtful and meticulous. We even touched base ahead of the appointment to talk about my color goals. I can't recommend Ryan strongly enough. This was my fourth salon in Atlanta after some not so great experiences, I am so happy with this result! read more

Jamie Stephens is just incredible at shag haircuts. She has a warm personality and truly listens to what her clients want. She gives great customer service without ever seeming fake. She gave me the best haircut I have had in years! read more

This salon is very unprofessional. I made an appointment online, since that's the only option, and was stood up due to overbooking, or the stylist simply not checking their schedule. After the third time this happened with two different stylists, they genuinely didn't care to lose a customer. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I had the best experience at Commoner today. I was in desperate need of a haircut and found this salon with an opening with Leslie. First of all she's an amazing artist and created exactly the look I wanted. But on top of that she was so much fun to hang out with while she did my hair. I walked out of the salon feeling refreshed and excited for my next visit. I will definitely be back to visit Leslie and Commoner very soon! read more

I will be honest, when I lived in rural Kentucky, I would drive 1.5 hours to get my haircut by a barber I trusted. I will research and research until I find a place to get my haircut. I believe in a good cut, and I stand by that. I was referred to Ryan by a close friend, and I gave him a shot. Now, he's my guy. I appreciate him always getting me in when I need to, his conversations and also his style. I am not recommending him to recommend Ryan, I recommend him because I have literally gotten haircuts throughout the country and Ryan is my guy in Atlanta, GA. read more

Leslie Cook is by far the best stylist in Atlanta. Her skill set and knowledge of hair care is impressive and impeccable. Her service are quite the deal for the level of service she offers. She nails both colors and cuts. Thank me later. read more

The environment at this salon is wonderful. I've been a number of times due to convenience but I have decided to move on after 2 years. For some reason, the stylist I used was giving me worse and worse cuts with each appointment. I was embarrassed to have referred said stylist to friend which led to a horrible chop job. I'm not sure why this stylist became so lackadaisical, but it real shone through her words, work, and attitude. Seventy bucks is too much to spend for poor performance. read more

Heather is THE BEST hair stylist I've found in Atlanta in my four years here. She is a professional in every way. She made me feel comfortable from the first time we met, she always makes my hair look amazing, and I really enjoy getting to hang out with her while she works her magic on my hair. Heather has expertly shepherded my hair through a bob cut, balayage, and now a pixie cut. I wouldn't put my hair in anyone else's hands! read more

What a wonderful place! I recently moved to NYC from Atlanta and I'm so bummed I didn't find Commoner sooner. Lynn cut my hair and she was just divine. She took my hair from a weird in between kind of awkward lob to a modern bob with a ton of movement. She also gave me a ton of advice on how to take care of my curls. You won't be disappointed! read more

First time visiting this salon last week. I'm a guy and I've had my hair cut all over the city of Atlanta at all the trendy hair places for dudes. But this place? This place RULED and it was HANDS DOWN because Heather Smith cut my hair. I've had the same style of cut for years now, but when I went in here, I wanted something different. I'm a guy with shorter hair, so what's one to do? I put my trust and confidence in Heather, that's what! When I walked in, she was standing there ready for our appointment. Heather asked me what I wanted to do with my hair, and I said, "I want to look good for my wife," and then Heather worked her magic.* We had a GREAT conversation, one beyond just small talk, and all while I enjoyed a beer. It was the best hair cut I've had probably. So need your hair cut? Book an appointment with Heather Smith. You won't regret it! *my wife went in the next day to get her hair cut and colored and HOT MAMA she looks good! read more

Heather Smith is such and amazing stylist and colorist! I was ready for something a little dramatic and different and we decided to go with an ashy platinum for color and a long bob for the cut. Since this was my first time going platinum I was a little nervous but Heather put me at ease. I am happy to report that not only does my hair look edgy and stylish but it's also super soft and undamaged. Go see Heather. I promise you won't regret it! read more

Just opened last month in Little Five Points. AMAZING space...SO full of light. Best stylist in the ATL, Lynn Norman, moved her business here and I couldn't be happier!

For someone who is self described obsessive compulsive about his hair, and who I allow to cut it, The Commoner Salon relieves all my anxieties. Lauren is the best! Not only does she give me an awesome cut every time I visit, but her hospitality is second to none. Truly the most talented stylist I've ever met. Located conveniently in Little Five with accessible parking. So, if you want to get the absolute best cut in the ATL, go give The Commoner Salon a shot, and you can thank me later. read more

Today was my first appointment. I saw Eric, who was obviously skilled, wielding a razor with artistic savvy and the greatest of ease, while making me feel at ease myself. The environment is calm and the space is gorgeous-- my favorite 'adaptive re-use' of an old post office. Appointment schedule is easily done online using your device, and there's no front desk, just tablets at the point of sale. Super cool. I'll definitely be back even if I am notoriously horrible about making appointments. read more

Still so, so glad that I have Jamie to trust with my hair! I decided to do a bigger shop and add some shaggy side layering, and Jamie was great through the process, making sure I was okay with the length coming off, and doing a great job giving me a fun and manageable cut! What a relief to have a stylist I can trust with any style. read more

Kelsey does an amazing job! She saved my hair and is so honest about what your hair needs instead of suggesting a bunch of unnecessary things just to make more money.
