The Cutting Room

Akilah is amazing! I am new to ATLANTA and was in need of maintenance for my hair. The relaxer, cut and color is amazing, MY MAN CAN'T KEEP HIS HANDS OUT OF MY SILKY HAIR. I received compliments after my first visit. I have seen Akilah 3 times since my first visit. If you want amazing hair, I recommend Akilah at The Cutting Room.

Pros: Good atmosphere, talented stylist

After living in atlanta for a year now I had yet to find an affordable and good place to get my hair done. I went to the cutting room off a whim one day fafter searching through citysearch, went in for a haircut and it was great. Ricky the owner cut my hair and did an amazing job. It is a smaller salon but it is very nice and comfortable, and all of the staff is great. I am used to most hairdressers being cold and just doing my hair in silence but ricky was so pleasent and professional. he made my experence there so nice. I just finished up with highlights today from him and they turned out awesome! he helped me decide what color i really wanted and what would look best on me. this salon is really great and would reccomend it to anyone!!

Pros: great area, friendly people, great service, great results

Cons: color is a little pricey.. well for a college student

I used to get my hair done by Akilah at Zip n Clip before she moved to the Cutting Room salon. Her service is so wonderful that I followed her to the Cutting Room. I have always wanted to try color in my hair but I have been too afraid to do so until I met Akilah. She did a consultation with me and walked me through every step of the process. When she was done with my hair color I felt like I had a mini-makeover. She told me what products would be best to use with my new hair color, and was not pushy in any way to sell me products. She made my experience wonderful. The other stylists and staff are very welcoming and I look forward to everytime I get my hair done by Akilah. Book your appointment today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: experienced stylists, price, shop hours

Cons: none!

Upon entering The Cutting Room, located in the highlands, I was greeted by a friendly front desk person and was immediately checked in and was asked if i needed something to drink. Akilah, the stylist I had booked my appointment with, led me back to her chair and proceeded to give me a short consultation so that we could determine the best haircut for my head and hair type. The other stylists that I saw were engaged with each of their clients, and the quiet hum of conversation and styling filled the air. I am thrilled with the cut i received and have been recommending it to all my friends. The cutting room is a great place with stylists who know their stuff and are refreshingly easy to interact with. Great Salon.

Pros: price, attitude

Cons: na

So, I was having a terrible day before I went to get my haircut that The Cutting Room. As soon as I walked in the door here, my day got better. Ricky, the owner, offered me something to drink and talked with me while I waited for my appointment time. The environment was pleasant and everyone seemed to really care about their clients’ needs. I was looking for a new place, and I was a little nervous since it had been over 4 months since my last cut (too long!). I couldn’t be happier with the results! Louis, my stylist, listened to me and helped me decide what kind of style would work best for me. I came away with a modern cut that works well with my lifestyle, and I LOVE IT. He also taught me about how to better care for my hair. Ricky and his staff made me feel important and I left with a smile on my face and a great haircut (without breaking the bank).

Pros: Price, location, customer service, talent, environment

Cons: none that I can think of

There is an awful lot of turnover at this hair salon. Speficically Donna Harris who is wonderful- great stylist, personable- has left. She is now at The Atlanta Hair Studio over on Chesire Bridge Road , next to the Woodfire Grill. I saw her today - she would love to connect with her old clients who she has lost touch with since leaving The Cutting Room.

If you haven't found a place to get your hair done yet, you should give the cutting room a chance. I have been going for about a year now, and i've never been disappointed with the outcome. They have great service, great people and the best styles in town! Ricky always does a great job!!

Since moving away from San Francisco...I've been looking for a new place to have a haircut for a long time...the last few places that I've been to really butchered the cut and I was really afraid of getting a haircut in Atlanta since....So, I googled places in Atlanta that had good reviews and The Cutting Room came highly recommended with 92 five stars over 102 reviews....now, of course, there were going to be some bad reviews b/c of all of the cry babies out there...but, this place really impressed me with their stylist knowledge, up front opinions on what would look good and not look good, and their great cuts...anyways, Five stars to Melissa and Robin for taking such good care of my friend and I. And, the complimentary wine helps too..

Pros: Friendly staff, cute salon, great affordable haircuts

Cons: Nothing

I cut my own hair for years because I ended up looking like Frankenstein in my last experience at a salon. I decided to put my faith in Melissa last year and I've been going to her ever since. She is the first good hairstylist I've been to. I highly recommend her!

Pros: Melissa's talent!

Cons: None

I was in town on business and needed to get a haircut. i decided to try The Cutting Room and booked an online appointment with Ricky. When I arrived at the salon I was greeted and offered something to drink. Ricky was running on time and took me back right away. What a nice guy! First we talked about what I was looking for and then i was given a shampoo and scalp massage. He gave me the best haircut I've ever had. What I like about this salon is that everyone was professional yet the atmosphere is casual. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for a great cut and a friendly place to go.

Pros: parking, friendliness
