What People Are Saying About Cortex Hair Studio
The Editor
Ryan Sims
Citysearch
In Short Nestled twenty years deep into the Virginia Highland neighborhood, Cortex salon sits within a micro strip of stores that blend into the hip-inhabiting and foliage-friendly backstreets. Retro chic leather strapped barber chairs and sole-weathered wooden floors adorn the breathy sunlight intoxicated space, while the eight resident stylists chop and color away. Prices vary between the funky-yet-accessible stylists that specialize in up-dos, smoothing treatments, color, and cuts. The attitude in the salon seems to echo the relaxed vibe of the neighborhood: trendy without being too…

Cool Salon - Skip Rocks!
by ida estelle
Rest assured, the reviews about the unpretentious nature of this salon are true... This salon is entirely laid back and friendly. I formerly had my hair done at Vis a Vis, loved the results but ceased going due to the staggering snootiness of the staff... and clients for that matter.
Cortex is far superior. I highly recommend Skip as she is very adept, easy to talk to (no awkward hairstyling silence) and fun. As for the hair, I briefly articulated my desired hair stlye / color and she completely exceeded my expectations!
For those of you with thick, straight hair who want layers that fall naturally, Skip will not disappoint.
- Pros: Unpretentious
- Cons: none

Love Cortex. Corey is the best!
by OperationAtlanta
This place is awesome and I think Corey is fantastic. I have naturally curly hair and have always loved the cut and color he does with my hair. I sent my straight-haired friend to him as well and she loved him too. He has never once made me feel rushed (which is rare for a salon) and the one time I wasn't 100% pleased, he made me a new appointment immediately and fixed the problem perfectly. Talk about phenomenal customer service. I can not speak enough for his talent, customer service skills and general pleasantness.
Everybody at Cortex is so friendly and talented. I constantly look around and see other stylists working wonders as well. This salon is very welcoming and not pretentious at all. Highly recommended.
- Pros: Very friendly, good price, great hair everything
- Cons: Can't book appointments online

Skip Boman
by helenkopp
I've been searching for a stylist for a while now. I finally had my hair cut into an adorable bob and highlighted by Skip. I could not be happier with the results! Skip is a great listener, she understood exactly what I wanted in my cut and color. She then took her time and FINALLY, after a year of so-so hair, I have EXACTLY what I want. Not only did she do an amazing job of making the vision in my head a reality, she is a total sweetheart and enjoyable to talk to.
