Inspiration picture
Arpita B.

I came to this salon for getting my hair done by Chase Weisenberger a Master stylist at the salon. I made that choice after spending countless hours scanning through reviews, seeing before, and after pictures both on Google and Instagram. I booked my appointment almost 2 months earlier(there was nothing available with Chase before that time) and was excited to have my hair done by Chase. I brought with me my inspiration picture to the appointment, and we spoke about exactly how I envisioned my hair to look- classy with multidimensional highlights and gray coverage. I specifically asked for nothing over the top. Chase was very easy to talk to and I got the sense that he understood what I was looking for. After spending over four hours on what happened to be my birthday, I was taken aback when even wet my hair looked flaming red. Seeing my discomfort Chase toned it down and I left with almost dark red toned under the light, one dimensional hair. He was kind enough to offer a color correction at no charge at all which I went for earlier this week. Again, he was kind, and we looked at the inspiration picture, my prior picture and talked at length about my vision. I specifically mentioned one more time that I wanted some blonde highlights, but would still like a dark base closer to my natural hair color. After spending another four hours my hair is just blonde! Not some blonde highlights.... Completely blonde! My lower layer of hair is half dark-my natural hair color, and half blonde . Even the crown of my head, the blonde starts approximately 3 inches away from my hairline making a stark contrast. I'm certain Chase sensed my dissatisfaction and offered to make any tweaks, I desired. I just thanked him and left without airing my discomfort. My reasoning: I don't think after spending over eight hours and two attempts to get my hair done at a price point, which is fairly Steep by someone who supposedly a master stylist, I am brave enough for another attempt. It's not tweaks I need... it's a full overhaul! Unfortunately: despite the kindness and offers to make changes geared towards a satisfied customer, I cannot recommend Chase to anyone!

My hair before going to the salon

I first came in and saw Rachael to get color done. I hadn't colored my hair in over a year and my hair was really healthy. She even commented on it. Also, I'm naturally blonde and my hair lightens really quickly and I wanted balayage with a darker root. We discussed this in detail before she colored my hair. After coloring, I was happy with my hair. No issues. A week later I booked an appt with Rachael for hair extensions. The salon's whole gimmick on Instagram is "custom colored and blended extensions". And for how much they cost, ($1500 after all was said and done) they should be custom. Well Rachael put the extensions right in my hair, didn't color them at all and didn't trim to blend them. So they looked a hot mess. My natural roots were dark blonde then I had these big patches of platinum that showed through under my hair not to mention the ends were way thicker than my natural hair. She assured me though, that they looked great even though I said at least five times I don't think these match my hair. So I reach out to the owner Jess about having them fixed, never get a response. Finally I call the salon and talk to Mackenzie who told me she had an opening and would fix them for me. She was a godsend, she colored, blended them into my hair and they looked great. I decided I would go to her from then on. A month later the extensions were starting to slip out so i took them out..and...all of my hair had broken off up to my shoulders. At this point I didn't know if the extensions did it or the color. I was so upset. I had spent a year growing my hair out. I immediately reached out to the owner and Mackenzie. Mackenzie got back to me very quickly and told me to come in to see what we can do. The owner...crickets. I go in to see Mackenzie and bless her heart, there's nothing she can do. She concluded that it had to be from the bleach and my hair had been severely over processed. She cut my hair to even it all out for me and then charges me for the cut. I know it wasn't her fault, and they are all independent contractors but damn, I could have at least gotten a complimentary hair cut. The owner finally reached out to me days later basically to ask, did you get the haircut? No apology, no offer to make it right, nothing. I was so defeated at this point I just replied yes. And left it alone. So it has been about 6 months and I've been extensions free and growing my hair out again but obviously it takes time. I still have all of the extension hair and it is pretty much new since I only used it for a month. The hair alone costs about $900 so I'd like to use it again while I grow mine out. I've reached out to the owner again multiple times about possibly putting the hair back in for me at a discount, not even free...just a discount. Something to say hey, I'm sorry we butchered your hair after you paid us a ridiculous amount of money, but no luck. I spoke to Mackenzie and she even reached out to Jess but still no response. I guess my weave and I will never be reunited. I'm attaching pictures for reference. They are of my hair before color, my hair with the non-blended extensions in, and my hair after I got them taken out. I'd say if you stuck around to read my sob story, then do yourself a favor and skip this place.

I've been to J Gold Salon twice now and had amazing experiences both times! I found Rachael on Instagram & fell in love with how amazing she does hair! I was able to get an appointment the same week. The salon is adorable! It's decorated so cutely & all of the stylist are super friendly. From the moment you walk in, you feel important and taken care of. Rachael is a hair god!! I've never had someone do my hair as well as she does! You can tell how much pride and enjoyment she has while doing your hair because she is touching ever piece making sure it's perfect. I brought a few inspiration pictures & let her do her thing. & I couldn't be more pleased! She's super friendly too which is a bonus :) Highly recommend Rachael! But I'm sure any of the other girls are just as great! Free parking in the deck attached to the salon!

Hey y'all ! Just wanted to stop by and say thank you so much to Mackenzie and the girls at J Gold! I have been blonde for about 3 years and was in desperate need of a change. The salon itself was beautiful and Mackenzie gave me exactly what I was looking for. Excited to come back. Happy holidays

DISASTER. Super disappointed in my experience with this salon, I would like to start off by saying I am a former hair stylist so I know a thing or two about what goes on behind the chair. My hair was TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHADES OF YELLOW in the front and back.... not to mention it was severely dried out and BURNED OFF .. I had breakage around my front hairline even after I expressed to the stylist I was concerned about that area since it was already pre lightened.. I asked to be lighter I knew it wasn't going to be blonde & I said I wanted dimension ...her and another stylist teamed up to quickly foil me and then rinsed half my foils out too soon which is why it was spotty and uneven.. I've had to pay another stylist at least $1200 to color correct me and put extensions in to hide my breakage... I cried from how disgusting my hair turned out and left work in tears after my coworkers wouldn't stop bothering me about how I could let someone fuck me up so bad.. I understand things happen but to let me walk out and pay you $425 as if nothing was wrong baffles me.... I hadn't even seen how uneven the back was until I got home... took over a month to finally get my refund after several attempts at reaching the owner ... we talked on the phone and she agreed to give me my money back but it never happened...I messaged her at least 10 times on Instagram and never heard anything. It took several attempts at me calling the salon to finally get this squared away. Moral of the story DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE !!!!!! These women are working way too quickly to pay attention to detail & seem to only care about their "important clients" you would think I would be more of a priority since she fucked me up so bad .. but no.. now I'm another bad review

With extensions

The most amazing hair salon & experience! I go to the owner Jess & every time I leave I'm amazed at how much I love my hair! The coloring, extensions and health of my hair is all top notch. I recently took my extensions out and my natural hair is extremely healthy, thick and long! Could not recommend Jess & her team anymore!! The best in the business! Salon is clean, staff is friendly and the work is incredible! 10/10 recommend!

I was desperate and needed my hair done.. I normally go to jacob k hair but they were booked up so I decided to give this salon a try. did not have a great experience even tho I went in the second time to get it fix but I left the salon pretty much the same as I walked in so waste of time and money. Left with foil lines still left in my hair. I messaged the owner my feedback and never got a response. Very unprofessional. Would not be back. I didn't intend to leave a low rating review Bc I as well work in the service industry but the lack of effort or care I was given is just not acceptable for the price I paid so I'm hoping this review will help the next person determine whether or not they would want to get serviced here.

My stylist and hair services: I visited Heather at Salon Modello as a first-time client and Atlanta…read morenewbie. She was very patient with me and had some great ideas about what we could do with my hair -- mostly because I'm always kinda' like, meh, do whatever you think would look good. The color was nice. The cut was great. Heather is skilled, knows what she's doing, and really made me feel like I was in good hands. I think my cut was ~$80, and my color plus foils was ~$290 -- a little pricey but it's quality work. I'll be going back. The shop and atmosphere: The salon is filled with art for sale by local artists, which I really appreciate. There are also offerings of beer, wine, coffee, tea, and water for customers -- I mean, it doesn't get much better than that. In terms of parking, there are spots on the street nearby, but the salon also shares a small private lot with the business next door (facing the salon, it's the driveway to the right) which is a lifesaver, especially for that busy area of town. The receptionist and others stylists all seems friendly, hip, and chill -- in a relaxed way and not a douchey way. I can totally imagine folks of all ages feeling welcome there. Again, I'll be going back. The only slightly odd thing about my whole experience was that the salon keeps your credit or debit card info on file to hold you accountable for last-minute cancelations, those who are atrociously late, and whatnot. And I totally get it -- it's a business and stylists lose money when that kinda' thing happens (which I'm sure is annoyingly frequent). However, it was still weird to hand over my financial information for them to store. At least it makes paying easier at the end of the appointment. TL;DR: Heather is great, shop is nice, there's free beer and parking, don't no-show like a jerk.

Lauren rocks. I've been seeing her for NINE years now. Lauren expertly provides advice on colors,…read morecuts, and treatments that are best for me! I wouldn't even know what to ask for! She is also funny, personable, kind, has a candy bowl, and has great stories! Great VIBES.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my wife, who has seen Lauren Reyes Salon Master Stylist Austin…read moreHaynes for three visits now. We've both been very happy with the results. Thank you, Austin! This is a two-person salon with Lauren (owner) and Austin. When we moved back to Atlanta this past summer, my wife searched Yelp for a salon close to our home. She chose Lauren Reyes Salon based on their average Yelp rating, Yelp reviews, and what she saw on Lauren Reyes' Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/laurenreyessalon/ She liked what she saw. Lauren Reyes Salon is located inside Ansley Mall. The entrance is an interior entrance that does not face the parking lot. To find the salon, head towards the back of the mall's central courtyard. My wife likes to park on the CVS side of the mall because it's easier and less congested. Lauren and Austin have a room inside a shared salon space. My wife likes this place because it's easy to schedule an appointment, intimate, and convenient. She came here before getting her professional headshots and photos done at her new job. Austin did a great job. My wife also likes that Austin uses Davines products, the same high-end hair products that her previous salon, Rock Paper Scissors Salon in Durham, North Carolina, used. She paid $400, including a 25% tip, for her last cut and balayage.

I have been using Sen Salon for almost 2 years now. Switched cause I wanted to treat myself more…read moreand really see what a cut can make me feel. I heard from many locals that this is the place to get your hair cut done and done right. As an Asian Male, there is truly something unique about our hair. As long as you are flexible with anyone to cut your hair, then you can be seen ASAP. I always call beforehand and I always get to be seen same day within the next 2 hours. I only had two people cut my hair here, Michelle and Ken???? Ken is a new guy with dyed hair and speaks limited English. Michelle has been doing this for a while. I loved their old location but this new location definitely helps their salon shine. Lots of natural lighting and room for them to really allow an open space concept with seating throughout for others to see the magic happens. For the price of $28 before tip for a male's haircut, I think it is a fair price to ask in this economy and prime location. Hairwashing and shampoo is included for before and after the cut. Also if you want them to style your hair and prepare it for the day then that is also included with gel/wax/hair spray (your choice). Use cash if you can to avoid the 3% credit charge fee. Highly recommend this place. They will treat you well! Thank you Sen Salon for being you. Support this local one of a kind Asian business.

Been coming to Sen Salon for over a decade!…read more The only place I'd trust my hair with! Maria is my go-to gal! I come here, get an amazing shampoo/head massage experience to start, then a cut, followed by a blow dry and hair straightened! And it's reasonably priced! Way less than the other salons I've gone to where i paid $75+ and walked out the salon with my hair still wet because it was extra $$ for a blow dry. I've recommended multiple ppl here and even my husband gets his hair cut here now! Highly recommend!!
