WORST HAIR EXPERIENCE! MADE HAIR PINK!

by madisond at Citysearch

I WAS AT FRECSHE FOR FIVE HOURS and they ruined my hair! Not only did they mess up the color, but they turned my hair pink! When I got home, my hair was brittle, breaking off and ruined from the constant processes they used to try to make it right.

I left with a smile cause I felt bad for Lori. But when I got home, I cried and cried. I now have to find a new salon and an experienced hair colorist!!!! One place is going to give me a 'conditioning treatment" just to get my hair back to where it was.

I don't recommend Fresche Hair Salon for NOT just the inexperienced colorist and Britney who washed my hair into the pink, BUT FOR AIMEE THE RECEPTIONIST AND SISTER TO THE OWNER, FOR NOT GIVING A CRAP!!!! Find a salon that is professional and will do what they can to make such a horrific mistake, right.

Great Hair cut and color!!

by jennifercitysearcher at Citysearch

This was the first time I had my hair colored by a professional (I usually do it myself) and I felt that was quite worth it. She matched and evened out my color perfectly and I feel completely spoiled now about hair coloring! The cut was also extremely nice.

My hairstylist was Phillipa - she was very professional and spent quite a bit of time with me. I've never had such a luxuriating hair wash, color and cut. I highly recommend her.

The location is a wonderful area in the Oakhurst neighborhood.

The price was way more than I usually spend but I don't know how it compares to other places in Atlanta as I just moved here from another state. If it is close to or the same as other prices its more than worth it1

GREAT HAIR CUT!

by Soleil05 at Citysearch

I purchased a groupon for the salon and was very skeptical. I am African American but, I have very finely textured curly hair. Also, I have only let 1 person cut, color, and do my hair my entire life, UNTIL JOI! LOVE LOVE LOVE her. I was very nervous and showed her 1 picture. She was honest and told me exactly what I should do and should not do then gave ME the choice to decide. I let her do whatever she thought was best...result...AMAZING HAIR CUT! I get so many compliments and my hair has grown so much. Thank you Joi. I'll be back very soon for my 6 week hair cut!

Not to mention...I was in and out in less than an hour...talk about great service!

Best Haircut in Atlanta and Surrounding

by Jariss at Citysearch

Let me preface this by saying that I am phenomenally picky about hairstylists. I have lived in Atlanta for three years now. In the first two years that I lived here, I went through six different stylists. Only one of them was horrible, most of the rest were simply mediocre. Joi is the best stylist that I have ever been to. She has tolerated my tendency to change my mind about my hair at every visit, and has an incredible capacity to make my hair (which is a pain) to work with my face in a way that I have never had another stylist do. My last two haircuts have prompted more than one person to tell me that it's the best haircut I've ever had. My most recent haircut (pixie cut!) is phenomenal, and gets multiple compliments a day. I love Joi, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a great, reliable stylist who REALLY knows what to do with hair!
