Paragon Salon

05/04/2008 Posted by Decatur101

I found Paragon after working my way through a number of (bad) stylists. The first time I visited Jason - who works wonder with color - I had a horrible color job and was pretty cynical, thinking I would never find someone that could get it right. Jason listens to what you want, considers the essentials like facial structure and skin tone, and gives you his suggestions. The result? Fabulous color that compliments your face and makes you love your hair (perhaps after a long history of frustration!). I've also had cuts with Joseph who is also wonderful with listening and making the most out of your particular type of hair. Everyone in the salon has been friendly, fun, and provide great service in a relaxed atmosphere. You can tell the staff enjoy what they are doing. I have ridiculously thick hair that can be unruly and time-consuming - I've never felt rushed or pressured. Also, after going to many a salon where I get hounded to buy their products - I've never felt sales pressure at Paragon - which is nice! So...get yourself over to Paragon...you won't be disappointed!

Paragon Salon is the best salon I have come across in a long time. I have been going there for years. Jason is my colorist, and he is amazing. I trust him 100%! He knows what he is doing and will always make you look your best. When it comes to your hair color, make sure you use Jason, he always leaves you wanting more...

Pros: Knowledgeable Staff.

Cons: None!

I have never been able to trust someone fully with my hair. The first time I let Crystal cut my hair was when I donated it for Locks of Love. We cut off more than 10 inches and I was a little nervous about the whole thing. All I had to tell her was that I wanted a simple bob that could grow out easily. And the next thing I knew my hair was exactly like I pictured it in my head. She knew what worked with my face and was honest with what didn't. Since then she's also colored my hair, which was a first for me. I had highlights in the past, but I had never had a full color and she knew exactly what color would work with my skin when I told her I wanted to go darker. I love her and the Paragon Salon and always enjoy myself. The atmosphere is always so inviting, even on your first visit!

Back story: Five months ago, I got the worst haircut of my life. AND it was up to my chin, which made me hope that Mr. Fancy-Pants High-Dollar Salon Boy who butchered it would fall on a pair of scissors. BUT, out of all that tragedy, and I do mean tragedy (read: countless tears) I found Sheb. Ah, Sheb...my scissor- wielding savior. (Enter blissful sigh here). It took five months (and a valium if I'm truthful) to get me back in the chair, but Sheb transformed, uh, I can't even describe the levels of wrong he had to deal with. Point: he gave me a beautiful cut with enough structure to have a great style, and enough loosity-looseness to keep it fun and playful with just the tiniest bit of styling (I'm busy-tiniest bit is not to be poo-pooed). And? This is huge, the cut is in keeping with MY goal (pause: my goal. MINE. Because it's MY hair.) of growing my hair out again. Here's the best part: I'm cute again-yay me! If you're reading this, you're patient (I'm a chatter), but you also know that you can't put a price on being happy with your hair. No premium denim, Prada boots, or make-up can help you when you hate your hair. Lucky for us, Sheb is a bonafide steal when you weigh his prices against seeing your super-happy, confident self bouncing out of there on top of the world. It's all about the Sheb. Really. Just go ahead and call. Here, I'll help you: 404-881-1451.

Pros: Talented and friendly staff

Cons: none

After being sick and losing all of my hair... and having to wear wigs during the grow out period.... I found Paragon after much searching for the best hair extensions that would look real and feel great. Brenda is fantastic!! She and her assistant took their time with me and made sure that when I walked out... I was looking fabulous. She patented her own type of extension that worked well for me and now... after many wig wearing days... I can finally fling my new long hair around. It is human hair and well worth the time (a consultation plus a 4 hour appointment then styling).... and well worth the price. p.s. Scheb (sp?) is also amazing and he helped prep and trim and color my hair to get ready for the big day. the salon feels cozy and never was i rushed ..... thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! S.

I am the type of person who enjoys walking into a salon and telling any stylist the basic changes I want (i.e. short, growing it out, highlights, single color process, etc.) but after a disaster with a new stylist in New York, I've become a little more detailed about my hair preferences. I started seeing Crystal who was referred to me through a friend and I am so happy to have found a stylist that understands me again! I give her basics (short, darker, lighter, layers, no layers) and tell her other contributing information (I often air-dry my hair and when it's short it's poufy) and she goes from there. I've avoided going for any bobs lately because my hair gets poufy but we talked it over and I ended up with one of the best haircuts ever! Even after the cut had essentially grown out, I continued to get compliments. All of the stylists I encountered at Paragon were friendly and personable. The salon has the appearance of a more snooty environment, but everyone there is fun and down-to-earth (as much as stylists can be). I definitely recommend this salon....especially Crystal!

After moving from Manhattan, I would fly back twice a year to have my thermal done. I finally heard about Paragon on NPR and was delighted to find I could have my hair thermal reconditioned here, better than in NYC. Two years later, I come regularly for thermal, cut, and color and absolutely love it!

Pros: Intimate, You get what you ask for

Brenda just did my hair extensions, and they are AWESOME! She is extremely thorough and knowledgable. I am wearing her Invisilocs Extensions that she desgined herself and couldn't be happier. I have fine hair and have alway wanted extensions, but didn't want to have my hair ruined then they were taken out! Brenda's Invisilocs system is the perfect solution! They are worth every penny!

The first time you walk into a salon, when they don't know you and the loyalty factor hasn't been established on either side, tells the story and the personality of the place. Paragon is one of those places that, while stylish and very professional, immediately makes you feel welcome and at ease. And, that feeling just gets better with every visit. These people know their business, from the products they use, to the great customer service (not just one reminder the day before but one week ahead as well), to the absolute beauty of their work. AND, they don't take themselves too seriously and genuinely enjoy what they do. I'm a pretty low-maintenance person except for my hair. Crystal is my stylist, is super friendly, and is a real perfectionist when it comes to my lowlights, highlights, color and cut. I've gotten lots of compliments on her work from friends and family. So give Paragon a try, and ask for Crystal!

Pros: The talent, the atmosphere, my hair!

Cons: None

I'm 33 yo with NIGHTMARE hair! It's thick, curly and frizzy. For over 20 yrs, I have either had it up in a french twist, bun or ponytail -- never down. I finally took the next step which was to find one of the top salons in Atlanta that used the Lisco product for TR. I called Paragon and scheduled my consultation for the very next day. At my consultation, I met Sheb - GOD of HAIR! He took the clip out of my hair and as it fell, I could see the "oh, my god" look. I was so afraid that they were going to tell me that my hair would not be a good candidate, but he told me that I would be perfect for Thermal Reconditioning. Every step was explained and all of my questions were answered. The only question left was how long would I have to wait to have this life altering procedure performed. The following week was Thanksgiving. I was scheduled for the next Wednesday after Thanksgiving. I was so excited!! The salon and stylist are one of a kind. Never a dull moment and very relaxing, not "stuffy". Moment of truth. It was UNBELIEVABLE! My unruly frizzy hair was sleek and beautiful. After the enitre process my hair was shiny, beautiful and STRAIGHT! I told Sheb what I had in mind in regards to my haircut, he worked his magic and it came out better than I even imagined! Sheb - you are truly amazing. I will never allow anyone else to touch my hair. You're patience is unbelievable. I love someone who is a perfectionist! :) My husband said that I look like I'm 20 again and most of my coworkers either have to do a double take or make the comment that I look 10 years younger as well. I actually feel younger. No longer held back by the BIG HAIR! I would recommend any of the stylist in the salon - trust me - over the course of the day I was able to observe many satisfied customers! You are in good hands with Paragon. Go nowhere else! Ask Sheb for my before and after pictures. IT WAS MAGIC!

Pros: Worth EVERY PENNY!

Cons: NONE!
