Okay well if you want your hair to look amazing, text this place as fast as your fingers can. I'd been looking to change my style for a while but wasn't sure I could find what I was looking for until I saw an acquaintance had posted her hair from here and it looked amazing. I had to contact them. So first, KBarone Salon operates primarily by text (for now at least?) which was a little odd for me at first but apparently it's a rising trend in salons? Anyway, the number I texted was very responsive and I never waited more than 24 hours for a response. I first texted I was interested in a cut and color and how could I arrange that. They texted back to send current photos of my hair and my goal hair. Easy enough. After that, they worked up a price for me, took a pic and sent it, I agreed, and they texted me their availability. My appointment was for a Monday at 11 but I showed up at 10:30 because you never know with Atlanta traffic. No matter, I was greeted instantly and taken to a chair-early! Note- the current location I went to is temporary, they're located in the parking lot area of the Big Ketch. Kate herself was my colorist and she did an amazing (and FAST) job of foiling my hair. I had some work to do on my laptop, but not a single drop of color got on me. I was asked and invited to grabs snacks and drinks out of their stash several times (I was good, but they had quite a stock!). While being small, the salon was so well run, clean, and all the employees so polite. For me, a place like this is an expense (though I promise it is WORTH IT) but before I came, I was a little nervous of it being pretentious, being in such a nice area. So far from the truth. The women were just so KIND and great at listening. I went in for a fairly extreme style (bangs!) and Kate really took her time, trying several angles and techniques to deal with some of my unruly hair, and giving me a little tutorial on how to curl them myself. I made my follow up appointment before I even left. I'm just really grateful to Kate and the team for really taking time to ensure I had the look at style I wanted before I left. Now go make an appointment (text their number :) read more

Always an amazing relaxing experience at kb salon with my favorite girls! Ive been coming here for years and they always take care of me and do exactly what I request! Love love love kb read more

Roman is the very very best! I've followed him around for years, and am happy to drive further than ever before to continue being his client at Kate Barone Salon that he loves being a part of now! read more

Where to start!!! I currently live 6 hours away on a good day lol but usually takes about 8 hours to come back to Atlanta to get my hair done. Kate and her entire team are seriously the best there is. I was not the easiest client the first couple of times because my previous hairdresser I had for 20 years and well I'm picky lol but they were all so patient with me and have kept my hair healthy and the color exactly how I want it. I love how you feel right at home and welcomed from the moment you walk through the door. Jamie takes her time on my hair and is so amazing at what she does. read more

The owner has zero integrity and does not care at all about her clients. After 6 years and spending thousands of dollars, this salon ruined my brand new shirt. When I asked what would be done for reimbursement, I was told by one of her employees that it's not their problem. Didn't even get so much as an acknowledgment from the owner. I've never signed anything releasing them of liability should they damage my belongings, however the front desk girl kept trying to reference a non existent "policy". Please do not give this owner any of your hard earned money. She will gladly take yours, but couldn't muster up $60 to pay for my ruined brand new shirt. Part of running a business is valuing your clientele and treating them with respect. Kate's entire lifestyle is funded by her clients, yet $60 was too much to ask for compensation for damaged property. read more

Kate Barone Salon - Makeup Artists Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Y'all, I cannot say enough good things about the team at Kate Barone Salon. First off, the vibe in there is incredible when it comes to making you feel at home in a cozy environment. I never feel out of place or like it's "stuffy" in there where I feel odd wearing workout clothes or not "done up enough". It feels at home to everyone! Secondly, I've tried at least 3-4 stylist here that also can color and I've NEVER walked away not thrilled with how my hair turned out. There is no such thing as "rushing you" out -- from start to finish it's a process they all collectively ensure you get that face lol we all want! The attention to detail and the teamwork of everyone makes sure that no matter what, you leave happy. You can tell that everyone there really cares how you feel as makes you feel like not only a client, but a friend! KB and her team are truly rockstars!! I'll be a Kate Barone fan for life! read more

Kate Barone Salon - Makeup Artists Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Wanted to give an update since it's been a while since my last review. Yes, I still come to KBarone Salon! I'll be very honest, I had a brief lapse of sanity and thought I would try somewhere cheaper in 2020, but it destroyed my hair and I had to spend $1000s on PRP and trying to grow my hair back after it literally almost all fell out. Such a sad time. However, my ladies at KBarone welcomed me back with open arms, got my hair right, and I've never looked back since. Whether it's the extensions, cut, color, etc. no one does it better. Not only that, but the ladies who work here are some of the most wonderful humans you'll ever meet. When was the last time your hair salon sent you flowers? Exactly. They are also always so accommodating to my schedule and I have such a weird schedule with traveling for work, so it's much appreciated. I really don't want to put how amazing Sydney is because I really don't want her books to be full and make it hard for me to see her. So, I won't elaborate. LOL But, I have never received more compliments on the cute cut she gave me. Bottom line-you looked at their reviews for a reason. You can look for cheaper and you can probably find it. But, if you care about QUALITY, KBarone is the BEST a you'll find. I'm they will save you in the long run from having to correct other people's work. Just save yourself the time and money. There really just isn't a comparison. Love you ladies!!!! read more

I could not recommend KBarone Salon enough! Grateful to find them in 2020, even moving out to Milton - it's worth making the drive into the city to visit my girls every time. They have gotten my hair healthier, longer, and even made my extension hair dreams come true time and time again. These girls nail the color every time! I honestly thought I wouldn't be a fan of rotating through more than one hairstylist - coming from a big name hair salon in Buckhead that pitched having a "focus" on one client at a time - but I was wrong. All these girls are so talented, it's like having an entire team make sure you walk out with exactly what you wanted. Kate, Kara, Jamie, Hillary, Sydney, Mary - I swear you can't go wrong, and greeted with the sweetness from Jess at the front. These girls are family and my therapists all in one. I would trust no one other than them with my hair. read more

I've been going here for 5+ years and I don't think I'll ever trust anyone else with my hair!! Everyone who works here is so kind and incredibly talented. Kate, the owner, is super hands-on and you can tell she always makes sure her stylists have all the resources they need to succeed. Plus they just opened a stunning new salon!! read more

Highly recommend trying out Kate's Salon, I travel all the way from Miami just to get my color and extensions done with Kate and her girls. Being blonde is not easy and they're the only ones to get my color done right. read more

The team at KBarone is amazing. Jaime has been doing my hair for years, and she is a magician. The color is always perfect, and she has helped me get my hair so much healthier over time. Jaime is meticulous and makes sure every detail is perfect, and I trust her to do whatever she thinks is best for style and color. The stylists all work together to help each other, and you know you'll have a great experience with each one. Kate has built a wonderful salon with an incredibly talented team and fun, friendly atmosphere. They all go above and beyond to make sure clients are happy, and it's always a fun experience even while you're waiting for your color to process. 10/10 - highly recommend. read more

Cannot say better things about this salon and its staff members!! I have had experiences with multiple stylist here, and I never leave disappointed! Jaime has been doing my hair for close to a year now, and I am obsessed every time. I always let her expert opinion decide what we are doing to my hair that day. Truly the best of the best 10/10 recommend read more

Kate Barone Salon - Makeup Artists Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

you could have a 7+ year stylist that starts here and ghosts you because you're not the right look or fit for their vibe.

Kate Barone Salon is a chic boutique salon with a very unique, exclusive kind of feel. Without fail, it also happens to deliver the professional results one would expect from a top-end salon. I have been in the beauty industry for over 20 years and I know best when it comes to finding the top notch beauty services for myself. I trust Kate and her team on their expertise. They understand my hair type, knows how it takes color, and can style it so that it flatters my face shape. The extension blends perfectly with my natural hair, and I always feel like a million bucks! read more

Kate and her team are hands-down, the best of the best. Not only is she probably the best in the state of Georgia but also the south east... I've been seeing her for years and cannot imagine ever looking elsewhere. It's the best investment I've ever made in my hair. read more

I've been coming to Kate Barone Salon for 4 years now! I've been blonde, brunette, and now have black hair -- throughout each stage, my hair health has always remained on point. I absolutely love the amazing energy here, and the woman who work here are the hardest, and most talented stylists in Atlanta! I couldn't recommend it more & send all of my friends/followers here. They truly are the best!! x read more

These girls are actual angels! They have killed it with my new hair - balayage, Bellami hair extensions, the works. I get compliments and questions on my hair daily and they have been so helpful in teaching me how to take care of my new hair to keep it healthy and extend the life of my extensions. Before my new hair, I use to just come here for trims. I have fine, frizzy/curly hair and you'd be shocked at how many bad trims I've gotten in my life. Kate is really good at helping me keep my length, but getting the dead ends off. For someone who's hair length meant so much to them (I mean growing your hair is a big task and took me years!), this was a huge deal and worth every penny. I would, and do, recommend them to anyone! read more

Update 4 years later (because I never check yelp and this was my first review ever).. I tried to contact the salon multiple times after my bad experience and never heard back. While I was waiting for my first wash, they clearly got the photo I sent mixed up with someone else's because they asked me to confirm the photo I sent. I could see the look of panic when I confirmed. Kate herself was the 3rd person to apply color to my hair. I came to this salon expecting to pay a premium price for premium service of color treated hair. I left 4 hours later with a color much lighter than I intended, hair damaged, and a $500 bill. Kate let me know that they would be blow drying it "free of charge" though! read more

Literally the best in the business. They are worth EVERY PENNY! My hair is always gorgeous and the staff are just the sweetest.

I never leave this salon NOT feeling $1M bucks. this is where you go to change your life, mind and have the best hair in all of ATL.

Best salon in Atlanta! In the 5 years I've been coming here I've had bleach blonde, black, highlights, extensions, and Jaime always makes my hair look perfect. They really are amazing at what they do. Jaime always gives me an honest and in depth consultation and the entire staff welcomes you with snacks, beverages and friendly conversation. I look forward to every appointment and I would never go anywhere else read more

I've been a customer for almost 10 years and Kate's team takes such good care of me. I'll never trust anyone but K Barone Salon with my hair! read more

All of the girls do an awesome job, but recently been seeing Hilairy and can't say enough good things. She makes you feel at home and understands exactly what I want every time. Highly recommend everyone at KBarone for color, cut, and extensions! read more

*OBSESSED!!* I have been a fiercely loyal client at K.Barone Salon for about 3 years now and truly cannot say enough great things about my experience with Kate and her amazing team of stylists. My first appointment was legitimately the first time I have ever walked out with the exact blonde I was asking for! Kate is a true pro when it comes to mixing color, blending extensions with your natural hair, AND being very upfront and honest with you about your hair expectations. My hair has never looked better or been healthier, and I owe all of that to Kate and her team. She is worth every penny - don't wait, book her NOW and get ready to be your own #hairgoals !! You won't regret it. read more

Going KBarone Salon is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've been going here for about a year now and the entire staff does an excellent job every time. I was a little nervous when first visiting as I am an African American girl with mixed race hair which is not always something hair stylists know how to really do and keep healthy. That was not an issue at all for Kate. She gave me the perfect blonde color I had been wanting for so long and the weft beaded extensions blended perfectly. The environment here makes a long appointment feel like you're just hanging out and the time flies. If you are considering, definitely recommend scheduling a consultation. read more

If I could give 10 STARS, I would! Been a client of KBarone Salon for the past 3 years and never anything less than blissfully happy! The entire team works together seamlessly and everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and professionals of their art. If I ever bring color ideas to them, they always bring them to life flawlessly. I recently got extensions for the first time and was a bit nervous(but excited still) and they put me at ease, expertly applied them, and produced a beautiful seamless look. They are all genuinely invested in making sure everyone leaves the salon feeling happy and confident! read more

I found out about K Barone Salon about a year ago after doing hours and hours of research regarding extensions in Atlanta. Their Instagram account kept popping up and I completely fell in love with every single photo of color and extensions that they posted! I have always wanted extensions but I needed to make sure I was going to the right place. I was nervous bc my hair is extremely blonde and I didn't want to walk out feeling like some woman you would see on the side of the street at night. Let me tell you, I chose the BEST salon in town. Kate took her time with me during the extension process and was very helpful. Just an FYI, I probably had the shortest hair Kate had ever out extensions in at the time. I was nervous that they wouldn't blend properly with my real hair. However, I left feeling like a million bucks. All of my friends were raving and no one could tell that my "new" hair wasn't my "real" hair! In terms of color....these ladies (& Mikey) are artists. They know exactly what will good and they are also awesome at explaining their vision to you. If there is something you don't like after you wash and dry your fresh color SPEAK UP! They are happy to make their clients happy!!! They use the best techniques and products. Like I said, I'm very blonde and thank God to Olaplex & K Barone Salon my hair is strong and healthy! What I love most about the salon is the diverse team they have working for them! Christy is amazing and super sweet! Jamila is hilarious and gives one of the best blowouts I've ever had. Stephanie is so kind. Mikey is Super talented and also gives a dope blow out. Allie's got mad braid skills! And obviously Kate....she's really really good and what she does. She's got the perfect beachy hair vision and knows how to create that look on all of her clients no matter hair color, hair length, or age. All in all, this is a strong team! I think it's safe to say if you want beautiful, sexy, beachy, bad ass hair this is the ONLY place to go. You're not going to regret it. read more

Kate Barone Salon - Extension and color by Kate Barone. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Finally, someone who can give you the blonde hair you want! I am so thankful I met Kate. She has transformed my hair from an over-processed blonde to a healthy-beautiful blonde. Everyone raves about how natural and healthy my hair looks. Kate goes through a list of products to make your hair healthier. Listen to her advice! I always appreciate how she suggests the most cost effective solutions to maintain beautiful hair. Her staff is outstanding. They are friendly and show you the best ways to style your hair. I love the atmosphere and every time I leave her salon I know I have the prettiest blonde hair in Buckhead! read more

This place is amazing. Michelle is so amazing in every way, and especially with color. She took my hair from a brassy ombré to the most perfect balayage exactly like what I sent her in a picture. What was really unique about this salon was that all the incredibly talented stylists collaborate with each other, constantly seeking tips, advice, and each other's opinions. I felt like I was in great hands the whole time. Michelle did my color, Kate did extensions, and Kat styled it. Everyone was fantastic and my hair has never looked better. I'm still getting complimented on it every day. Thank you! read more

I can't say enough nice things about this salon. I absolutely adore the girls that work here as they are highly talented, hilarious, fun-loving and kind spirited. I've always been super self conscious about my hair and Kat, Kate and Michelle go out of their way to make me feel like a million bucks every time I walk through the doors. From the color, to the extensions and blow outs I couldn't be happier and the girls make that salon! I genuinely feel so grateful to have found such a gem of a salon, thank you! Xxo read more

Kate and her wonderful team have given me my dream hair. I have been going for almost a year now and every visit they deliver well beyond my high expectations.

View their Instagram page to see their amazing transformations yourself @kbaronesalon read more

AMAZING! AMAZING! Cannot put into words how incredible Kate and her team were. After visiting salon after salon (with terrible experiences) Kate was able to exceed my expectations, no problem. She gave me a complete transformation, and am forever grateful. THANK YOU!!! read more

Moving out of state meant the end of a long-term relationship - the stylist of whom I trusted with my hair for many years ;) I came to Atlanta last year looking to fill this role and reached out for references - requirements: modern approach, blonde, and extensions. Out of maybe 20 recommended salons and stylists my research was cut out for me (or so I thought) - one look at client photos on Instagram (@kbaronesalon) was all I needed. One second maybe - seriously, it's impressive. Another important item was noticing each girl who referred K. Barone Salon seemed to have beautiful long-standing, healthy hair - definitely a plus. I was looking for a salon "home" rather than bouncing around trying to find a fit, and those expectations were exceeded by my first visit. Kate is extremely talented and runs her business with pride - she gets the busy lifestyle and they will do whatever they can to accommodate client needs (I am guilty of utilizing this for last-minute changes a time or two)! Every experience is personalized and enjoyable. Kate works with clients to achieve what they want and when I'm there I have full trust in the staff's ability to deliver. I have observed Kate overseeing each client in the salon regardless of whether or not they are sitting at her chair - she monitors the process and vividly cares about hair condition, service quality, and client results. I trust working with Kate's feedback and visions and have never received more compliments since becoming a client! I even gave up Dry Bar in favor of K. Barone Salon blowouts. I'm pretty sure that's a solid indicator of satisfaction. read more

I have put off writing this for some time, because I genuinely feel bad talking badly about a business, but I'd be doing a disservice to keep it to myself any longer. Please, please, please stay away unless you are an influencer. If you are a normal girl, without extensions... they will RUIN your hair, and encourage you to get them. I lost half a head of hair- what used to be my favorite part about me, is now what I dislike the most. I cry several times a week over what they did, and every time I show someone, their reaction makes me cry again. I know countless people who have gone here and have had the same experience as me, and I wish someone would have given me a heads up. This was my one splurge I made on myself, and the heartbreaking thing is I would have been better off going to great clips, than what they over charge for. It will take me YEARS to grow back what was broken off, let my devastating knock of my self esteem save you from experiencing the same..... read more

I go to Hilary and have been my last three hair color visits this year. I ventured out once because I waited too long to schedule my next appointment and I immediately regretted it. Though I'm inpatient and don't love waiting for my hair to process that's really my own personal problem. Bring a book and your phone charger. Honestly, my hair has never looked better! Great product recommendations and worth the cost if you're maintaining blonde hair. Nobody at work knows I'm a brunette. read more

I had a terrible experience at this salon and unless you want to be treated poorly whilst you're paying top dollar, I advise you should HARD PASS here. I called in advance and was quoted $80 for my base color and $65 to touch up my balayage "but oh it could be more just depending on what you want but not that much more". I had a 6:30PM appointment on a Tuesday. Walked in -- and it was bustling which I thought was really awesome for such a small salon. I was literally ignored for 15 minutes as I watched all the stylists and the owner walk around the salon, look at me and continue walking as I stood there. When I was finally acknowledged, I got a mason jar of wine and sat there for another 15 minutes before it was time to get my hair done. My stylist was Chrissy. She was working on myself and another girl simultaneously, which was very impressive I thought she was doing a great job being attentive to both of us, and she was a sweet girl. However, not a great colorist at the end of the day. I asked her to touch up my balayage, possibly lighten it 1 shade and give it an ashy grey/chestnut tone. When she was "done" I had a copper/orange dip-dye line where my balayage used to be. I told her I didn't like it and she fixed it by using a level 7 toner. I actually didn't mind that. I thought it looked really good as I walked out--albeit darker than what I wanted. AND TEHN they rang me up and my total plus tip was over $230. Which is actually reasonable for hair and I don't mind paying but what a GIANT misquote over the phone. The next morning, I had a head FULL of split ends, and pieces of straw-textured hair breaking into my hands. WHAT!!! I texted her about it very politely and she said "I didn't even process your hair that much" "we barely colored it" and "sleep in some conditioner". -______- Needless to say, stay away from this place. Overpriced, poor service and bad stylist. I hear Kate Baron herself is good though. Maybe try her. read more

Kate is seriously the best and I would recommend her and her salon to anyone! When I first moved back to GA, I needed my highlights touched up and went to a random place someone recommended to me only to discover they were TERRIBLE and turned my hair bleach blonde---lets make that WHITE. I left in tears with white hair and a scalp that was literally burned. I freaked of course and given it was 3 days before New Years Eve threw some box color on it which turned it an orange green color. My friend was like, I told you to go to Kate in the first place---call her and see if she can help you. I called her in a panic and she got me in immediately. She literally transformed my hair and I have been forever thankful. Everytime I leave her salon, I feel like a million bucks. She goes out of her way to make sure her clients are getting what they want. It also doesn't hurt that I get a million compliments all of the time too. She has taken me from green, to the perfect shade of blonde, and now back to a rich brunette. Her salon is amazing and so are the people who work there too. The location is great and the salon itself is welcoming and has a super cool vibe. It is a great experience from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. If you are looking for someone who can make your hair look fabulous--go to K Barone Salon. See Kate or anyone else she has on staff. read more

Kate Barone and her team are just amazing! The talent that Kate has for hair is unmatched! When I got my extensions, she was so great about laying out the costs up front and making sure I knew exactly what to expect when it came to care and maintenance. I would seriously recommend K.Barone salon to anyone!! Especially extensions and color correction as I've seen miracles! Seriously, THANK YOU KATE! read more

Worst salon experience. Total "Mean Girls". The first time I went, the owner (Kate) was bashing customers and making fun of people who had just been sitting in her chair throughout my entire appt. I was then charged over $150 more than what I was initially quoted at my "consultation" for my color appt, along with a $45 blow dry that was pushed onto me. When I politely mentioned to Kate that I felt uncomfortable with the charge, she snapped back, "Well, now you know for next time!!!"...and then laughed and proceeded to mock me infront of another coworker. (yes, this is real life). Against my better judgment, I returned a 2nd time to see a diff colorist and had an even worse experience and left in tears. I've talked to a handful of people who've had identical experiences with Kate, including brides who have been HUGELY overcharged from their initial quotes and even had to dispute with their credit card companies. Kate is talented, but her sheisty business practices and bullying tactics are not right. If you speak to former employees, you will hear the same. read more

I moved here in 2014 and I have always been so particular about my salon and who touches my hair. I had heard that KBarone was the place to go for the best balayage in Atlanta. I had seen so many incredible results and was sold. I have now been going to KBarone for 9 months now and I can say my experience each time has been above and beyond any salon I have ever been loyal to. Kate has completely restored the health and color of my hair. I get so many compliments on my hair. Not only that, but I love everyone that works there. It is like a fun girls day :) I trust every stylist at her salon. Excited to try her new makeup artists this weekend!! read more
