Constant turnover, clique-y, overpriced, ruined my hair!

by atlgirl3929 at Citysearch

I had a horrible experience here. I was new to ATL and read all the reviews and decided to give this place a try. A little over 1.5 years ago, a male stylist did my hair at the Cutting Room. He did an amazing job, but the price was $225. That's not unheard of, but it's not well-priced. I didn't complain because my hair looked great and I was happy. I did notice that the other older female stylists just talked to each other and never to the new guy. And the clients they had all seemed to be 40'sish VaHi moms wanting the same cut. IMO, it's not a sign of a good salon to keep churning out the same blunt cuts over and over.

About 6 months later, I called to make another appt. I was informed that my stylist was no longer there, but they had a great new stylist. The new girl seemed unprofessional and nervous. She also seemed to be excluded by the "regular" stylists.

I informed the new stylist I was trying to get my hair back to the natural blonde. She said I'd have to bleach my hair, and instead suggested we try a light brown to tone and prevent brassy tones. I agreed. She applied the color and left it on for well over 30 minutes. As she removed the color, my hair was an ugly, dull, flat dark brown. DARK BROWN!!! I was absolutely horrified. She was clearly also shocked and attempted to cover up ruining my hair by suggesting I could come in and get highlights. She trimmed my hair in a sloppy manner, quickly (probably could see I was about to cry), and with little precision.

Here's the kicker...not only did I not get an apology, but I was charged FULL PRICE for them ruining my hair! I was so in shock, I handed over my credit card on the verge of tears. The cashier looked apathetic when I said it was a lot darker than I had wanted.

I would NOT recommend this place at -ALL-. EVER. DO NOT GO HERE. Poor service, constant turnover, and clearly no quality control. It's nothing but generic cuts and color. Try Ginger at Liberty Hair...she does a fantastic job.

• Pros: Good location
• Cons: Ruined my hair, overpriced, overrated, poor customer service

Vivid has added a star to their staff.. Go see Vance!

by HughHeffrey at Citysearch

Vance (known to some as Ethan from his days at Van Michael in Buckhead) totally transformed my hair. A beach blonde for far too long, he picked out an amazing darker color and gave me a new cut to finish it off. I've never received more compliments and will attest to his brilliance any day of the week! You won't find a more fun, friendly, and talented colorist / stylist in the city!

go check out the new stylist Vance!

Vance has recently moved over to Vivid from Van Michael in Buckhead. He was wonderful when I was looking for a new style. He really listened when I explained that I wanted to go much shorter. I felt very comfortable cutting off a bunch of length in his capable hands. I ended up with a great cut and I've kept this style ever since. Go see him - you won't be disappointed!

• Pros: well-trained stylist

Amazing Ashley!

by LisaLisaLisa at Citysearch

There are many talented, highly trained stylists at Vivid. My favorite, Ashley, completely transformed my hair. She is amazing with color, color correction and cuts. She managed to make my very dark brown hair a shade of blonde that no one else has been able to achieve in 5 years, including stylists in NY.

Any one who desires an excellent head of hair from a beautiful and talented stylist should experience Ashley Wallace. She has had much training and is certified in many areas of her trade. There are many satisified customers who can tesitfy to her expertise and lovely personality.

**ASHLEY CAN NOW BE FOUND AT "SALON O," LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF BRIARCLIFF AND LaVISTA ROAD, IN THE BRIARVISTA SHPPING CENTER.***

FOR AN APPOINTMENT, call Ashley at 910.995.7048. Tell her Lisa referred you. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

• Pros: Exemplary Talent & Class

Great service!

I just had my hair cut and colored by Ritchie. He did a fantastic job. I am a natural redhead, but my color has dulled out a bit. Ritchie suggested we brighten it up and it is sooo rich and vibrant now! The cut was also great and I love the way he styled it!

I also really love the layout of the salon. Very open and bright.

Amber has been styling my hair for over a year now. She's the best, because I always have the perfect style, she listens to what I want and offers great suggestions, and she's fun to talk to!

Definitely give Amber a call if you are looking for a hair stylist. She will not steer you wrong.

So glad Amber moved here!

by Paul Miller at Citysearch

My hair stylist Amber just moved to Vivid from another salon, and I'm happy to follow her here. Great haircuts, fun conversation and she's the kind of good person I try to give my business to. My wife, 8 year old daughter and Mom all love her, too.

Super-selection of colors sets this stylish salon apart.

by Ryan Sims at Citysearch

The fire engine red door helps Vivid stick out from the storefront landscape of Morningside. The urban loft style space gives off an industrial vibe with exposed brick walls, old hardwood floors, and lean-to mirrors in front of the stylist’s stations. Sidle up to the color bar (customers are able to watch stylists whip up concoctions from hundreds of bottled tints) and hell, go ahead and order a glass of gratis red or Stella while you’re at it. Offering the standard salon menu of services such as facial waxing, dyes, cuts, styles, and up-do’s, the Redken pros also employ 2 stylists specializing in wedding day ‘dos as well as a make up artist.
