How does Le Salon only have two reviews since it's been in Atlanta for over two decades? Not sure, but here's the third:
*****
I. LOCATION & PARKING
Le Salon resides in Asian Square and in the strip mall to the right of Bambu (the Vietnamese dessert place). And since it's in Asian Square, there's plenty of parking.
II. SERVICES
I just asked for a men's haircut, and the nice lady with the purple hair offered to do me up.
She asked what I wanted, and I told her. And although I didn't exactly get what I wanted on her first try, I made sure to over communicate and she happily obliged. It took her less than 20 minutes, too!
In comparison to other salons, though, I didn't get my hair washed, and it wasn't offered to me, either. That's usually my favorite part getting serviced at a Vietnamese hair salon. Not sure if they offer it there.
Aside from Yelp, you can also get the 411 on where to eat Vietnamese food. lol. (The #4 at Bambu is supposedly the best!)
III. AMBIENCE & DÉCOR
I learned Le Salon recently had a renovation, and it definitely shows. The floors are pristine, the walls look like they've been freshly painted, and everything feels... crisp. They even have fancy lighting. Who doesn't love fancy lighting?
There are no TVs playing Paris By Night, unfortunately. But that's purely nostalgia. Haha.
IV. PRICES
I'm not sure how much other services cost (I didn't see prices displayed anywhere), but it set me back $15 and paid with debit card. What's weird, though, is that I was asked if I wanted to provide a tip. I couldn't do it discretely and felt a little uncomfortable being on the spot. (Still tipped, of course!)
V. OVERALL
I would definitely consider returning to Le Salon. My hair looks how I want it to, and it was at a great price. However, I'm still holding out on finding my "go-to" salon or barbershop. read more
