Well after reading all the reviews on here about how great the salon was, I went to adore hair studios in Atlanta. The customer service by the receptionist was impeccable she was very polite, courteous and so forth. On the other hand when I went initially to get my hair done , by a stylist called Jamal he refused to do my hair, on the basis that it was relaxed. Now I am black and my hair is of afro texture, I wanted to colour it ash brown. I rang well in advance to confirm that they do afro hair, and they did. But what surprised me the most, was Jamal refused to do my hair as it was relaxed. (he only deals with virgin afro hair which is not relaxed, so I am told). I found this not only outright strange as 9 out of 10 women who are black have they hair relaxed. He refusal was on the basis that he does not want to colour relaxed AFRO hair. What!!! , at first I thought it was a joke, until he repeated it several times he will not colour afro hair. Now if this is his artistic vision (as he claimed), then they should out right fire him. I am the customer willing to pay top end money to have my hair coloured and you are refusing to colour it because of your artistic visions. Well that’s a first, not only does he help the saloon lose business by refusing to do my hair, he lets them down by reputation, and this is exactly why I am writing this review. Do not go there if your afro hair is relaxed, for the fear that Jamal’s artistic visions, will simply refuse to do them. There is a salon across the road called Like the River, you may see the name as nothing to do with hair, but it is first class from the time you step in, and the time they take to listen to what you want, and they will not let no bloody artistic visions get in they way of you looking your best.
Pros: none,
Cons: artistic visions will get in the way of you looking your best
