Best Colorist

I have been getting my hair highlighted by Matt Cauvel at Van Michael's in Norcross for clsoe to 4 years. I'm a blonde and he highlighted my hair for my wedding and I had so many compliments on it. I never have to worry when I get my hair highlighted from him. My husband has been out of work for a while and getting my hair highlighted is now a luxury. I went about 5 months without getting highlights and I needed them badly. I made a HUGE mistake and went to a less expensive colorist. She ruined my hair. I had sploches of highlights and huge chunks of highlights scattered thru out my hair. It was terrible. It didn't look natural and I was miserable. A few weeks later I made an appointment with Matt. I had to get my hair back to normal and I knew Matt could do it. He fixed my hair and it looks amazing. I never worry when I visit Matt. He knows hair and he is so educated in the field. He's a true expert. My hair looks natural and beautiful, thanks to Matt. He takes his time when coloring hair to make sure it looks the best as possible. I will never visit anyone else!

• Pros: Best Colorist

Meadow is amazing!!

I have been to SO many salons in this area and every time I left unhappy. No one could get my hair the color I wanted. My husband had begun to dread my trips to the salon because I was always grumpy when I came home. I came to Van Micheals and Meadow colored my hair. It was just what I wanted. PERFECT! She really listened. She is great. I will not go anywhere else.

• Pros: Very friendly staff
• Cons: None

Best Salon ever

by swehurricane at Citysearch

I started out going to Van Michaels when I moved to Atlanta a few years ago. To try to save money I tried some other places but was never happy. One did not do enough foils so it looked like I had nothing done and one did not wash my hair properly so I got a bad rash all around my hairline. After this I went back to Van Michaels and I have never been this happy with my hair.

When you first get to the salon they will ask if you want anything to drink as they have teas, 3 different kinds of coffee, cider and hot chocolate. You also get a card where you can mark which of the complimentary treatments you would like from a touch-up make-up to a deep conditioning.

I go to Keri for my coloring and she does an awesome job. Even my mom who has not been fond of my blond color in the past LOVES what she has done to my hair and how natural it looks.

In the past I have never been quite happy with my haircuts. It seems like most people like to cut a bit more than I am happy with. Royce always does a great job. He listens to what I want and explain to me what he needs to do to keep my hair healthy as well as gives great advice on products that will benefit my hair.

• Pros: Great skillful staff, Nice atmosphere
• Cons: Price, but it is still worth it.
