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.

This was my very first tape-in install, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The…read moresalon itself is beautiful, spotless, and welcoming. Kevin washed my hair, and that alone was amazing he took his time, and even gave me a relaxing head and shoulder massage afterward (a lovely surprise!). I gave him a $40 tip because his service was so good. I also purchased my hair directly from the salon, and it's absolutely gorgeous!! super soft and high quality. I'm now on week 3 with my tape-ins, and they are still holding strong. What impressed me the most is how my hair has stayed straight all this time. Normally, my straightened hair lasts about 3 days max, but here it's been 3 week and it still looks great. I'm looking forward to my upcoming wash and straightening appointment. SP Hair Care has definitely earned a loyal client in me!

Their friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxing. I truly appreciate the care and effort from the whole team.

I went in after being persuaded to get silver highlights to blend with my natural silver, but I…read moreended up with red highlights instead. I repeatedly asked whether the process would change my hair's texture and was assured it would not. Unfortunately, my hair now feels like straw and tangles easily when I shampoo. Normally, I can brush it out quickly after washing, but this time it took a great deal of tugging. A shampoo and blowout should not take more than two hours. My hair feels ruined, and after years of going to Aveda, I don't feel comfortable returning. I've had issues there before, including a terrible haircut demonstrated by an instructor that I had to have corrected elsewhere. Regarding this color treatment, the instructor looked at my hair and suggested covering it with black, which is not what I wanted. At this point, I don't trust having any additional color applied and can only hope it grows out quickly. I also wish a strand test had been done before coloring my entire head. I was shown a photo of another client whose silver blended nicely with darker hair, which is what I expected. Unfortunately, that was not my result, and I've learned a difficult lesson from the experience.

I needed a touch up and a different shape to my hair so I easily rescheduled with my last stylist Sharell through their booking tool (mangomint.co), paid my deposit, and set my appointment. Or so I thought. I was devastated when Heather (great receptionist btw) reached out to me a day or two later to tell me that Sharell was no longer with the salon. *Cue the violin* BUT God had something better in store because she encouraged me to switch my services to be done by Nykeria. I really like this salon and I didn't want to start the search all over. The handoff was seamless. Great decision. Please understand that what I'm about to say is overwhelming positive: this wonderful woman is a BEAST in the hair game. Full of life. Great communicator and hair educator. Wonderful with her hospitality. Treated me with gentility but also with confident hands. She did multitask on another client during my appointment, but I was A-OK with that given that I wasn't her original client and it didn't really burden my appointment's timeline. I appreciated the thoroughness and attention to detail nonetheless. LOVE the cut. I wish it didn't happen the way that it did, but I'm SURELY satisfied with her as my stylist moving forward. Extra perks: delicious and hot green tea served by Heather upon entry, a buzzy salon environment that doesn't get too loud yet also plays good music, complimentary WiFi, toilet seat covers with a clean restroom, a changing room with clean smocks.... WOW.

Truly incredible. Everyone here is exceptionally talented. I get my highlights done by Graham at…read morethe Midtown location, and he never fails to do the best job I've ever seen. He's super friendly and is so great at conversation without being overwhelming. I've vented about a bunch of random problems and he's so insightful about everything. I really enjoy those conversations. Graham has an intern named Juniper who is also amazing. She'll typically be the one to blow out my hair after highlights. She is so sweet and fun to talk to. And you can tell that she really cares about doing a good job. And she does do a good job. And shoutout to Rob at the Midtown location for giving me bangs. I don't think I would love them so much if he weren't the one who cut them. They have free bangs trimmings here, so whenever I get my highlights done, I ask Rob to trim my bangs, and he does. He's very thoughtful about cutting hair. Especially with bangs. He will ask for pictures, and if you can't find any, he will pull up his own pictures on his iPad to help you figure out what you want. He also is an artistic genius and will recommend things that work with your facial structure better. I thought I wanted curtain bangs but he recommended a more straight cut of bangs, and I am so thankful he did. If you want a good haircut that makes you look like you can afford the best of the best (aka Rob), you need to see Rob. Even when my hair isn't blow dried or straightened or whatever, it looks amazing when I wake up and go to sleep. He gave me layers once and, if you'll believe it, it changed my social life for the better. Also he's very good at getting people to talk about their lives. Inquisitive and talented. If you have your own strong preferences and he recommends otherwise, you can still tell him what you prefer and he'll happily do it, but he knows so much about what looks good on different people, so I'd definitely listen to him. He's done my little teenage brothers' hair before and they appreciate him a lot too, which says a lot because they're picky teenage boys. They come home from the appointments with their heads held a little higher in confidence. I don't think it's possible to leave Van Michael Salon without your head held a little higher.

She told me I'd be meeting with Hannah, and gave me a cup of coffee and led me to the chair. First off, Hannah made me feel super comfy, as I hadn't been to a salon in over 3 years. I have fine curly/coily hair I hacked while in lockdown, and Hannah fixed me riiiiight up. Quickly. With ease. Us curly folks already know the fears of salons, but Hannah was confident, super super sweet, and so good at what she does. The owner was there too, which I thought was really cool. Overall, I was made so welcome (even though I called literally 20 minutes before I came in), the salon was so cute and cozy, and I left feeling like a million bucks! Will so definitely be back to visit Hannah in a couple months for a trim and maybe some color! Her hair was the hottest pink, and inspired me to get some color goin again.

I moved to Atlanta last year, and finding a new stylist and salon is always one of my biggest…read moreanxieties when it comes to moving. I've had the unfortunate experience of hair nightmares when I first moved to other cities. Somehow, the trend always seems to be that the second salon I try ends up being the perfect one for me...and Atlanta has been no exception to this. I first tried another salon nearby, which left me totally unhappy. They charged me a TON of money for serious roots and the tiniest of trims...which altogether took well over 3 hours even though my hair is barely past my ears?! Yikes. Anyhow, you get the point. I would have to return to hunting for another salon. In a fit of desperation, I did try a box dye to fix my roots but...it did not end well. I called around town, but stylists were either full up for the weekend or unwilling to book me until they scheduled a separate color-correction consult session. I then came across Urban Evolution, and it seemed to fit the bill: a local salon, all the cut-color-smoothing services that I like to use, reasonable pricing, quality products, and a range of stylists to pick from. Best of all: I was able to snag an appointment the next day with Erin! I later discovered that she was the salon owner. She did an amazing job! I never felt judged, rushed, or not listened to. She asked a lot of excellent questions, taking the time to really understand my hair and styling preferences. She was very easy to talk to throughout the appointment. I left feeling like myself again (only with better hair)! I can breathe a sigh relief knowing that I've found "my" salon here in Atlanta. I highly recommend Urban Evolution to anyone, and also definitely recommend Erin! I'm a very happy client. To close out my review, here are some of the pros and cons of Urban Evolution... PROS: They have online booking, which was a huge plus for me as I work a very busy job and don't always have time to call during business hours. I also like that their website has a "match" quiz to help our you with a stylist, which I've never seen before but very much appreciated. A very cool feature! The salon itself is beautiful, and the staff are professional and super friendly. I can tell that everyone goes the extra mile to make clients as comfortable and cared for as possible. They always offer me a beverage, for example. At my last visit, I was bemoaning how I could never figure out how to style my hair wavy. Not only did Erin show me, but she had another staff member film her doing it on a few sections of my hair, all the while explaining each step, and then texted me the video so I can use it to guide me at home. They use and sell quality products. They have Oribe and Davines, both of which are fantastic lines. I've started using Oribe Silverati shampoo/conditioner at Erin's suggestion and I'm now obsessed - it's really helped to improve the health of my hair (I do a lot of coloring and heat styling). The salon schedule allows for evening and weekend appointments, which is very helpful for folks who may work busy jobs and not be able to come in during traditional 9-5 weekday hours. The salon is situated on a street with a lot of yummy restaurants and cafes, so you could always come meet a friend before or after for brunch, lunch, or cocktails! I've tried several at the recommendation of Erin and other salon staff, and all have been excellent. I love supporting local business, so I see this as a "pro." CONS: I'd you've read this far and you're still not convinced, I guess I could say that the only potential "con" is maybe the parking. They have street parking, or for a few bucks you can use the parking lot for the woodworking shop across the street. But even then, to me this is a pretty weak "con" because I've never had any trouble finding a spot (I've literally parked right in front of the salon the last several times that I've been there). Go try Urban Evolution...like me, you won't regret it!

Now I need to wait for it to grow back in before seeing someone who knows what they're doing. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.
