first time here, i kinda came in having a bunch of similar ideas, but not really knowing which hairstyle in particular i wanted. dianna hooked me uppp-- she listened to what i was saying to get the vibe of what i wanted and then helped me ultimately choose. she was quick, professional, and friendly. and the rest of the staff were very nice and relaxed. ample street parking outside. price is reasonable (for dianna, i think she charged $50 or maybe $60 but it was really reasonable--- i'm used to paying $80-$100 for this kind of haircut). fyi, when u book an appointment over the phone, they ask u to put down a credit/debit card. highly recommend this place! read more

A fantastic shop! I've been getting both cut and color here for quite some time. They've always done me right. Saved my caboose a few times too! From the moment you step in the door - you are made to feel welcome and truly important! Thanks to all. read more

My stylist and hair services: I visited Heather at Salon Modello as a first-time client and Atlanta newbie. 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. read more

Salon Modello - A week or two after my cut, highlights, and color with Heather. I dig it. - Hair Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Sarah was my stylist for an out of town wedding. I'm so happy we booked with Salon Modello. Vanessa, the hostess, was absolutely fantastic from the very first phone call. Sarah was fun and energetic and did an exceptional style for the wedding. If you ever have an opportunity to visit this salon? I highly recommend it. The owner was also there and it was just an overall great experience. When I return to Atlanta, I will definitely be back to this salon. read more

I just moved to Atlanta and was in search of a salon. Went in on a Sunday to visit with a stylist and see if it was a good fit. Very friendly and helpful staff. I ended up talking to Sarah and made an appointment with her the following Saturday. During my appointment she answered all of my questions and was very confident she could achieve the look I wanted. I had a half balayage done with toner put in and was VERY pleased with the results. Loved Sarah and will definitely be returning! read more

Venesa on the front desk is so warm and welcoming. Sarah is a gifted stylist and expert colourist. I've been coming here for about four years and it's absolutely worth the 30-40 minute drive. Sarah even worked with me when my budget was creaking and kept me looking good while I counted pennies. If you're stuck for what to do, put yourself in Sarah's hands. She won't let you down. Also, she's hilarious. read more

If you're looking for an amazing color or cut, this is the place to go. I love my hair, Jazz did an amazing job. I honestly didn't even know what I wanted when I walked in, but somehow she read my mind and worked her magic. This salon has a great atmosphere , good vibes. Not to mention, my hair is on the curly/dark side, so I'm really astounded by the vivid colors she was able to apply. Super talented, and also very sweet (hard to find both!). Even though I'm a native new Yorker, I would totally make the trip for a new-do with her! And what I love the most was her excitement while doing my hair, I knew she was as passionate about it as I was. Can't thank you enough! read more

I just moved here about 2 months ago and I've been going to the same person for 17 years (Typing that makes me feel old!) clearly I was nervous about trying somewhere new and allowing someone else to even touch my hair. I have thick, coarse hair and it requires special, how would I say this, taming. You can't cut it like everyone else's. I looked here, on yelp, and came across this salon. it was right around the corner from me and in an area I liked. There's street parking but also 2 other lots you can park in. I parked in the lot closer to the beltline with zero issues. Only required a quick 3 minute walk. The bright blue doors are easy to find and very welcoming. The receptionist welcomed me immediately and escorted me to the waiting area where there's drinks available I even saw beer in the fridge. Need confirmation on cost! The entire time I was there (which was a while bc my hair is nuts) she consistently checked on me asking if I needed anything. I booked a cut with Leah who was amazing she took time to talk to me about my hair. What's worked and what hasn't. It was a quick consultation prior to picking up the scissors. She was meticulous and very detailed. I'm definitely planning to see her again. Next I booked my color with Reese. He too consulted me before anything else. At first I booked partial foils. After speaking with him I went for the full on biolage (spelling?). I love my color! Looks fresh and exactly what I was looking for. Plan to see him again as well. Not only did I get a great cut and color and treated very well, I learned a lot. Leah and Reese both gave me some great instruction for my crazy hair. They took the time to walk me through different techniques and products to control me hair. Yes, it may have been a little more than I wanted to spend, but I'd gladly go back. The attention to detail and time spent with me was totally worth it. If they can control this hair then I'm in! read more

I decided to give this place a try because of all the amazing yelp reviews and I'm glad I did. I made an appointment with Reese to do a full balayage. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and asked if I wanted water or anything to drink (I love when salons do that, gives you a good vibe right off the bat). Everyone was super nice, especially Reese. Took his time with my hair and even did a little photo shoot after. The work done truly was amazing, however when I got home I realized I wanted it a bit blonder. I called the salon and they were very understanding. They booked me with Reese again within a few days and he added the platinum sections I was looking for (which was actually this morning). And I am SO SO HAPPY with the color. I went straight to work and everyone commented on my hair which made me feel even better about it. Another thing I liked is that they explain in detail what's being done to your hair (products, techniques etc) they tell you how to take care of it once you leave, ask you what kind of products you've been using, when you'll be back for touch ups and all that so they have the full picture and story of your hair. Most salons don't do that. They cut or color and send u home. But here, they made me feel like they actually care what's going to happen once I leave and even a month or two from now. I also added some before and after pics of the balayage !! I'm actually going back in a few days for a cut with Leah so I will let you guys know how that goes! read more

This place is great! The atmosphere is great as well as the location! But most importantly I got to come to my favorite stylist Jazz! I've been seeing her since I lived in Cleveland and when I found out she was moving to Atlanta, I booked an appointment immediately! I just got a sew in done and it is just as great as ever. I would recommend her to everyone! Get to Salon Modello and see Jazz today! read more

I had my first experience at Salon Modello this morning and it was amazing. They were so friendly and offered me something to drink. Sarah did my hair and she is a gem. I have never had a better cut and color. She was very thorough and even talked with me about how to maintain color. I appreciate the time she took to talk with me. The sweet girl at the desk even hugged me at the end and I loved it. read more

I haven't yelp-ed in a long while, but this place did exceptionally well that I just had to take the time out to write this review. I absolutely love this place! I'm new to Atlanta so it took me some time to try out a salon to have a haircut/hair color and I picked this one because of the great ratings from others. I had high hopes when I came to the place, but when I left, I realized they exceeded my expectations. I'm amazed at my hair and my mom and my friends kept complimenting me about it once I shared my photos. For haircut, I had Ren. For balayage, I had Reese. They are the best! They know what they're doing and they are the finest people in the salon industry, in my honest opinion. read more

Reese brought my hair back to life ! The salon is very clean, cute design with lots of local art hang around. The products they use are amazing! The staff is so friendly with great energy!!! Resse was amazing! He explained every step of the process, which made me feel real comfortable and excited. He was honest and gave me great advise! Definitely recommend Resse and Salon Modello. Thank you Reese !!!! read more

Salon Modello - Reese brought my hair back to life !!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I just moved to Atlanta a few months ago and was really slow on finding a new hair salon. I am not very "with it" when it comes to hair but I'm still very particular about my hair. I had a salon that I loved in Austin and had vowed to never go anywhere else, but now that my beloved salon is over 14 hours away, I needed to be a little more flexible. I found Salon Modello here on Yelp and made an appointment with Heather When I arrived they had me fill out a short form and offered me water, tea, or wine. Heather came to get me about five minutes later (I was about 10 minutes early, so I didn't mind the wait at all). I tried to talk her through what I wanted and showed her like 12 pictures, like I said I'm not with it but also very particular. She was very patient, asked me a few questions, and talked me through a few ideas she had. I spent about two hours with Heather and decided pretty quickly that I really liked her. She isn't overly chatty but she is still very nice and friendly. We had quite a few periods of comfortable silence while she focused on my hair and I watched her work. We also talked quite a bit about things we both loved, like food and travel and she gave me a lot of recommendations about restaurants and things to check out in Atlanta. What I loved most about Heather was that she was willing to explain what she was doing with my hair. I'm a big "why?" person, I always want to know the reasoning behind things. Yes, I was a very annoying child. But, Heather patiently answered all of my why questions. She is very knowledgeable about obviously so passionate about her craft. The final product was beautiful, Heather gave me exactly what I wanted! I did something a little wild for me and added some red tones to my light brown hair. I loved it from the moment that she spun me around, and a week later, I love it even more. I have found my Atlanta hair home! read more

I have found a hair goddess and her name is LAUREN REYES! She is no longer with this salon but now has her own, Lauren Reyes Salon, in Midtown!! Congrats to her! As you can see, my hair was a dang disaster. I went to a chick several months before hoping to get the black out. She couldn't get it to budge even after three different color removers. I thought I was stuck with black forever. But NO! I found LAUREN! She not only got the black out FIRST TRY, she got it out without any damage. And then she chose this amazing red/brown color that I'm absolutely in love with. The way she explained things to me, the several techniques she used, and the final turnout of my hair all proved to me how well educated Lauren is. I was super impressed. Not only that but you can tell she has a true passion for what she does. I don't care where I end up in the world throughout life, I will fly to where ever she is to have her do my hair. She's stuck with me ;-) read more

Ok so I came in for a haircut and paid with a credit card. Shortly after, I get an email that they have stored my credit card information. What?? I did not make a future appointment- which I know some places do to hold your appointment. They literally stole my data when I paid with the credit card. So no big deal right? Just call them and they'll fix it. Nope. I was very polite and the receptionist was extremely rude. She yelled it was in the fine print, and hung up on me. This is not how you treat customers or people in general. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION AND DATA HERE read more

I had long hair that I had previously colored with a single process and balayage. The color turned out a little too reddish and I wanted to feel more like a brunette (at least at my roots). I also decided I was ready to chop off a good bit of length and try a long bob. But I was nervous to make those changes. I did research and found Salon Modello and good reviews about Lauren on Yelp. Lauren was so easy to communicate with, was able to look at the pictures I had and translate them into a style that would work for me, and it is probably the happiest I have ever walked out of a salon. I highly recommend her. read more

In general, very cool salon, love the decorations, original and not cookie cutter, I love walking in and being offered wine by the friendly staff. Like all salons the real reason for a great review is it's stylists. This one goes out to Madison in particular. A true artist who really understands a person and what their going for with their hair, themselves and their vibe. She's also great to talk to. I've been here twice and seen her both times and both times I loved my hair cut and so did many others. Non stop compliments with her work always! This last time we did something a little different and I believe it has leveled up my whole self and vibe in such a positive way it's hard to describe. Basically, I look great and feel great because she gets me and my hair. And yes I'm that very particular person, especially when it comes to my hair. I've lived in Boston and NYC and gone to hair dressers and salons with many awards but legit non are better than Madison. If I ever move from atl I'll come back for the hair cuts or fly her where ever I end up. read more

After another salon failed to get my color right and then damaged my hair, I decided to look elsewhere. Thank goodness I found Reese and Salon Modello!! He was so patient and even stayed late to correct my hair color. Sometimes i've gone to my appointment with no particular picture of what I want but just a description, and Reese ALWAYS knows how to make my hair color look AMAZING! He really is an artist when it comes to hair color! I'm always nervous when it comes to getting my hair cut by someone new but Jacky did an awesome job!! Everyone here is so talented, so so friendly, and fun! I always love going to my hair appointments and always leave happy! :) read more

The salon was a little hard to locate, as the storefront doesn't stick out all that much, but it's a really cute design. Luckily, the two times I've gone there happened to be an open spot on the street, otherwise I wouldn't know where to park! The inside is very clean, and has a an old-school sort of feel. They showcase a lot of local art that's also for sale, so it was very cool to hear that they work with local artists in Atlanta. The staff was friendly, and they offer you water/soda/wine while you wait. The booking system they utilize is great too, I liked that they texted me reminders of my appointments. After seeing about 1000+ reviews about Reese on yelp, I decided to go to him for my consultation and color. I had balayage done previously, but didn't take care of my hair afterwards so it was an ombré black to burnt orange. Yuck. I want to go platinum silver in the end, and I had messed up my hair from previous treatments so I know I was a piece of work but Reese was amazing! He was very thorough in explaining how things were going to work (I'm going to have to go back a couple more times to achieve my dream color--or my hair will just be a bristly mess) and put the integrity of my hair first, giving me lots of tips to take care of it. I was super comfortable the whole time and Reese did a great job! I wish I had before pics, but trust me, it was a mess. He lightened it some more and fixed the tone and now I can start the process of going platinum/silver can't wait till the next session! read more

I've been to Jackie a few times and every time she does a FANTASTIC job. It's hard to find someone who can 1. Actually straighten my hair 2. Cut it properly 3. Not charge me $200. You can tell from the get-go that she is professionally trained and knows what she is doing. As much as I want to keep her my little secret, she does a fantastic job and should be recognized. Thanks Jackie! read more

I'm new to Atlanta and was nervous about finding a new salon after 4 years with the most wonderful stylist in Chicago. I researched salons and stylists in my area and stalked Instagram accounts to find someone posting pictures of what I was interested in doing with my hair. I found Lauren at Salon Modello and took the plunge. I can't believe I was ever nervous! Lauren is sweet and confident. She listened to all of my ideas and answered all my questions. Best of all she knew exactly how to give me her insight and made me feel like I was working with a trusted advisor. This was the best salon experience I have had and my results are more than I had asked for. Thanks Lauren and Salon Modello!

Leah is a true artist. Her precision, mastery and attention to detail is mind blowing. It was fascinating to watch the way she focuses on each individual section of hair and analyze her next move. The end result is astounding. My hair has never looked so amazing and I've received so many compliments from her work. It has been over 6 weeks and it still looks as great as day one. I can't wait for my next appointment, just to see where we go from here. read more

I have been going here for years now, yet this is my first time writing a review, I guess I've just been trying to keep Reese to myself but it looks like the word has gotten out. Reese has done some of the best hair color I've ever seen, once we met it was like a match made in hair heaven. The amount of compliments I've received over the years is endless. Each time I go in, I come with pictures and we talk it out and he keeps it real. If he can't do something exactly like the picture, he'll let you know, if he thinks something else would look better, he'll let you know. I even have my sister going to him now and she's addicted. If my pictures don't convinced you that he's a hair color god, then check out his Instagram @rozethecolorist You will not regret going to Salon Modello, everyone there is amazing! Just don't fill up every Sunday, thats when me and Reese have a hair date! read more

I discovered this salon when I woke up suddenly and was in need of some color in my life, and they have been wonderful so far. They were able to book me for a consultation quickly, and that's when I met DeYonna, my stylist and colorist. DiYonna is warm, so friendly, and her positive and creative energy fills the room. DiYonna listened to my ideas and guided me through our options based on her expertise. With her careful consideration (of my hair, colors, style) and my likes, we created a plan together for a radical color change. (I've never colored my hair before, so I can say that DiYonna was excellent inducting a newcomer without much conceptual or technical vocabulary to feel out or articulate a vision.) This photo is the first step of the process: a cut which brings out my curls (also offered at a great price). Thanks! read more

Aaron Rohling for cuts and Ljndsey for color are my hair dream team. I've worked with all stylists at Modello over the years and can recommend them all, but now that I behave as an adult (in regards to scheduling) and book ahead, I like to work with Lindsey and Aaron. Modello has an Intown edginess that I like, not the contrived swank and pretentiousness of a Buckhead hair mill. The stylists see their work as art and really enjoy (or seem to) their work. I've been a loyal and happy client for years. read more

After a particularly traumatic haircut at a different salon in Atlanta last year, I have been hesitant to find a new salon. Off a friend's recommendation, I chose Salon Modello and I'm so happy that I did! I got a cut from Jacky and absolutely loved the whole experience. She really listened to what I wanted and was able to offer suggestions from her experience without hijacking my opinions. Most importantly, she executed exactly what I wanted (long, straight lob) and didn't veer from what we discussed. She was also super friendly and sweet, and offered haircare tips when I asked. Salon Modello is very cute, played great music, and has overall good vibes. It is in a cute area of Old 4th/Inman Park, and while the parking lot is down the street, not right next to the salon (unless you street park), I had no trouble finding parking and walking over. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with my experience here. It's on the pricier side, but totally worth it! I think I've found my ATL hair salon. read more

I came for a 'cut it all off, I want something new' kind of cut. First time visiting (yep, that's the way I roll). They staff is professional, the place is clean and funky, the cost wasnt crazy (price varies by stylist) and my hair looks AMAZING. Thanks Spiro! read more

Thank you Ashley for a super cute bang trim! It's so hard to find a good spot to get the bang trim you want. She knew how to do a nice trim while dealing with my cowlick. Complimentary with a haircut! I'll be back! UPDATE: Returned for a full cut with Caitlin and very happy! Had a nice wine and relaxing time. She really knows and loves hair and did a great job putting some waves in my hair (that never keeps a curl). She really took her time to listen as well. I wanted a trim and a little bit of a modern fresh look to my style. Thanks ladies! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Salon Modello and my colorist, Emily. I have been trying for over 5 years now to get my color to be the perfect deep purple and not a single salon could do it, until I came to Emily at Salon Modello. She is truly a wizard with color and has not only made my color beyond perfect, but she is mindful of the health of my hair and always trying to make sure it stays healthy and shiny. We have also experiminted with some different colors and it am just obsessed! She is insanely talented and truly listens to her clients. Not to mention, she is just an awesome person! I look forward to seeing her every 6-8 weeks. Everyone at Salon Modello is professional, friendly, kind and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend this salon! read more

If you are looking for a salon for color treatment, I would not come here. I recently had a full foil appointment here and received a balayage. I brought it to the salon's attention first privately that I was unhappy with the color I received and wanted it fixed.

I was expecting to be a more frequent patron with the new color, but now don't trust Salon Modello to treat me fairly. read more

After moving away from Atlanta and going to another salon (a disaster), nowhere compares to Salon Modello -- especially Deyonna, so I'm writing this review to let people know how amazing they are. In eight years of dyeing my black hair blonde, Deyonna has truly been the greatest! Words can't explain how much confidence she would give me whenever I walked out, and how much she would put me at ease whenever I was there. To be honest, confidence is alway something I struggled with, but she always knew how to make me feel so beautiful on the outside and inside. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking to get their hair done! She's the only person I truly trust with my hair! read more

I was in Atlanta for my birthday weekend and want a change! I booked my appointment with Jazmine. I told her I wanted a cut to start over with growing my hair but also something that's easy to maintain.

My haircut fits my face I love it and I have been able to maintain it on my own. I've gotten so many compliments and most people think I should keep my hair like this! I would recommend Jazmine to anyone. The shop also offers beverages including wine and since it was my birthday I had a glass to celebrate my new look! :) read more
