Atwood is the bees knees!

by peachyroo at Citysearch

I've spent the last 10 years being really spoiled because my best friend is one of the best stylists in the Pacific NW, but when I moved to Atlanta this summer I was faced, for the first time, with the daunting task of finding someone I trust enough to make my hair beautiful. Let's face it, your hair is with you EVERY DAY and is your most noticeable accessory, so finding someone that not only sees your vision, but will advise you on what changes will make you look your absolute best is a must.

I put off this painful process as long as I could...until one day I realized my split ends were over 2 inches long. OUCH! I did my research, said a little prayer and made an appointment with Atwood at Salon Red.

The moment I walked into Salon Red, I knew I liked it. The atmosphere was cute and trendy, the receptionist was nice and welcoming (and her hair was absolutely adorable!) and I just felt immediately at ease.

Then I met Atwood. She had me at "hello". She took her time talking to me about what I liked about my current look, what I wanted to change, and how I wanted to feel with my cut. The time Atwood spent running her hands through my hair and really getting to know the thickness and texture of my strands made me feel as if my haircut and color was as important to her as it was to me.

I was not disappointed. My hair color is exactly what I wanted, and while it hurt to cut 2+ inches off my length, she got my hair back to healthy and kept as much length as possible. I am in LOVE with my hair and I found my hairstyling Goddess here in Atlanta.

If you care about your hair and want the confidence of knowing that you're going to walk out a more beautiful you, don't trust anyone other than Atwood at Salon Red.

• Pros: great cut, great color

Best facial and wax ever. Book with Katie -- accept no subst

by Dixie Diva at Citysearch

First of all, waxing is never fun, but Katie's technique is so gentle it makes waxing practically pain-free. I'm not sure what she does, but the brazilian was only a few very minor ouchies, and no redness afterward. Plus, it lasted 6 weeks! Now, let me rave about the facial -- An hour of total relaxation and pampering. Treatments targeted to my skin needs. A heavenly neck and shoulder massage. Best of all I could actually see a difference in my skin tone and texture. Plus, and this is a big one for those of us with sensitive skin - no redness or irritation -- and no breakouts. So Go. Now. Put yourself in Katie's expert, licensed, and trained hands and be prepared for the best spa experience you've ever had.

• Pros: Simply the best

The staff are so knowledgeable and work very hard to make you feel special. Katie helped me select wonderful skin care products and spent a long time educating me to what would work best for my skin. I was so pleased and recommend her to any and all as the best in Atlanta. And Salon Red is very affordable.
