Great Salon

by Tait

I have a habit of doing "drop in" hair appointments to places that catch my eye at times. Having just moved to the Martin's Landing Area, I had been eyeing this Aveda salon, tucked in amongst a few great places my husband and I had eaten at. (And I don't mean the Wendy's!)

I was cruising home after a 12 hour night shift at work and a few hours of sun by a friend's pool when I decided it was time for haircut...at least.

After being a little nervous to walk in to this upscale looking salon in my yoga pants and T-Shirt, I was pleasantly met by not one, not two, but THREE smiling faces clamoring to see what fun I might be up for today.

I walked out with my classically stick straight, fine short hair in a fantastic perm completed by Kim, a hairsylist with enough crazy tales to keep you entertained (and awake!) in your seat for hours. I didn't even mind chillin' in the little "perm" room for smelly heads like myself.

Sam, a perky hairstylist, did my initial "dead end" before my perm and discussed possible colors for me later in the year.

After a quick trip to the wash bowl, pre perm, I recieved a fantastic 10 minute shoulder massage from Donna, which was an everwelcomed treat!

Overall this was a fantastic "drop-in" and I will be returning there often for all my hair care needs.

• Pros: Friendly staff, beautiful salon.
• Cons: Price, but hey, it's Aveda!

Best haircuts in roswell

by ihateblupixystix

This is an amazing salon. I have only had my hair cut at this place, but I love it. You walk in, get a free chair massage, and get an awesome haircut. Everyone is really sweet and friendly. I highly reccomend requesting Chanika for a haircut. She does an awesome job and takes her time making sure it's perfect! Maria is also a really great stylist, you won't be disappointed with anyone!

Best Salon and Spa in Northern Atlanta

by rm41

I have been going to this spa regulary for nearly three years. I love this place. The staff is friendly and the service is well. I love the facials; they are so relaxing and I fall asleep everytime (its because of the heated beds!). I also get my hair cut regulary here too. For all the curly-haired people out there, visit Ray or Oksana! I have never walked out mad with my new hair style.

• Pros: Service, Ambience, Staff
• Cons: Like most salons, Pricy

Wonderfully Relaxing

by bartistix

I went to Joseph & Friends this week for the first time and was very impressed. When I made my same-day appointment and heard the price for a master and mid-level stylist, I requested a Junior stylist instead (reasonably priced at $28). They made my appointment with Shanika, a stylist with 4 months of experience. She did a wonderful job! First she listened carefully to what I wanted done and made a good suggestion for my hair style. In the shampoo room Tabby gave me a complimentary 10 minute back and neck massage. Then Shanika gave me a nice scalp massage when she washed my hair. It was very relaxing and felt great! The cutting process took a little longer than I expected, but it was well worth it! With the $15 coupon I printed off CitySearch dot com the cost including tips was only $24! The salon is clean with relaxing hip music. It looks likae the kind of salon that could be really trendy and snobby, but everyone I met acted nice and professionally with a mellow attitude. I would highly recommend Joseph & Friends and the stylist Shanika to anyone!

• Pros: relaxing atmosphere, free massage, reasonable price for junior stylists

The BEST for Your Hair!!!!

by carriechouse

I spent 10 years trying to find a good stylist. I went through cancer treatments and all of my gorgeous long natural spiral curly hair that was down my back fell out!! Over a few months it went from that length to about 1/4 inch long. About 8 years later, my hair would still not grow past my ears. It was damaged. It was scraggly. It was horrible looking, ugly and people were making fun of me horribly all the time. I sent my story and all my photos to every single salon in Atlanta till someone would listen. Through the 8 years I went to dermatologists, internal medicine doctors, and dozens of hair salons...no one would believe my story and no one could help.

Finally I found Troy, the most talented hair stylists in Atlanta. I immediately got an email from one of the girls off their website. She said they believed my story and were determined to listen and help me. Troy spent so much time looking at pictures of me over the years and listening to me and each time I went to see him, giving me 110% service. a year later, we are still doing some touch up cuts but my hair has stopped breaking off, looks shiny and healthy, and now people actually love my hair!!!

On top of that, they have the nicest employees there and great attitudes. The prices are higher than great clips of course but it's all worth it!!

If you need any kind of hair help, this is the place to go!!!

• Pros: People and their skills!!
• Cons: NOTHING!! Worth every single penny!!

Waste of Money

by redlorelei

I have had my hair cut twice and my hair colored once here. The first time I had one of the higher up guys and he didn't do anything to my hair but trim it. The second time I had one of the junior girls, Jamie. She was horrible. She just picked out a highlight color and went with it without asking me if that was the color I wanted. Afterwards you couldn't even tell my hair had been highlighted. I asked for layers to be put into my hair and all she did was trim up the front . Also, she was very rough. Overall I will not be going back. I paid a large sum of money both times and I expected my hair to look like it.

• Pros: parking
• Cons: Rude

A Great Way to End the Week

by 1chef

I've been going to Joseph and Friends for several years for my hair. A couple years ago I decided to expand my pampering and have pedicures. The staff at Joseph and Friends are all very welcoming and happy to help, but I'm so glad to have Skye doing my pedicures.

She is very friendly and the time spent is very relaxing. It is like a visit with a good friend and a great way to end my week - a haircut and then a visit with Skye for my nails.

Above and Beyond

by andrewvf

I have been going to Joseph & Friends for years for a variety of services. About two years ago I started having my nails done by Skye Wee-Tom. All the nail technicians are good but Skye goes the extra mile. She is extremely friendly and goes to extremes to make every visit relaxing. I enjoy her friendship and fun conversations. Her visit is the the last thing I do on Saturday to cap off my day. Recently, I was glad to find out that she had started doing facials, and even more pleased that it was the best facial ever! Skye is one of Joseph & Friends best assets!

Ernest Lawhon is Awesome!!

by mayretta

After reading reviews from this page, we (my 13 year old daughter and I) decided to go see what all the rave was about with Ernest. Well, I can honestly say, the rave was correct. I have very short hair and the cut was right on. My daughter has long thick hair and the cut was movie star worthy. She loved it and got many, many compliments from her peers and adults. Now there is one problem with Josephs, Ernest left. Good news is I found him under his name for his new salon in Marietta. TRY HIM, Hes AWESOME!!!

Roswell spa mavens have their own little secret, tucked away in a Holcomb Bridge strip mall.

by Contributor

The Scene
Joseph & Friends, nestled in an unobtrusive suburban strip mall, just happens to be one of the poshest spas in town. The regal furnishings--architectural drawings, plush oriental rugs--set the mood, but it's the staff that makes the experience. Receptionists lavish attention on guests before ushering them to a changing room stocked with spa robes and slippers. Treatment rooms are chilly, but heating pads tucked inside blankets keep you cozy.

The Services
Sure, you'd be perfectly happy with a basic facial. But why not splurge on something more exotic, like a detoxifying herbal wrap combined with a Vichy shower or a massage with a Turkish steam bath? The anti-stress back treatment, which combines exfoliation, massage and a custom mask, will have you looking lovely for swimsuit season. Estheticians are consummate professionals, personalizing each treatment based on needs. They even remove their shoes before getting down to work, so nothing will disturb your hour of bliss.

The Details
Soaking tubs, steam room, showers. Massage, body treatments, wet treatments, facials, medi-spa treatments, hair removal, sunless tanning, manicure/pedicure, full-service salon, makeup application.
