Best Hair Salons In Athens

“Amazing experience from the phone call asking availability down to stepping foot out of the door with a huge smile. Amazing owners and amazing staff. After losing my last salon, I attempted handling it myself, big mistake. As most ladies know, trusting someone new is very hard. I read through their reviews and decided to check them out. I’M SO GLAD I DID!! I’ve never had a salon experience as wonderful as this one. 10 stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Hidden gem! Everyone was so incredibly sweet. My hair looks the best it has in years, and I feel so confident now.“

“Lindsey was amazing!! So happy with my hair! And just overall loved the salon and how welcoming it was!“

“This was by fair the BEST experience I have ever had going to a salon. I had many years of black box dye and went to a previous salon the night before, in the first pic it was after that and there was no change other than some burgundy at the top? And my roots untouched. It was awful. When I went to Shelby, she completely restored my faith in going to a salon. Aside from her amazing talent, which is clearly shown, the SIX hours we spent together I was so comfortable and felt so welcomed. My hair still feels great and you can really tell her years of experience has made her an expert, especially in color correction.Thank you again, Shelby!! You are the best ❤️“

“Brooke provided the best hair color and styling experience I've had in Athens in the ten years I've been in Athens. I rate Brooke as a "Master Hair Stylist". She is attuned to the client's preferences and skilled in making challenging hair look smashing. Thrilled to have finally found a professional colorist and stylist in Athens.“

“When I moved back to Georgia a year ago, my biggest challenge was finding a stylist who could keep my hair a California blonde that I had become use to. After 3 failed attempts, I found Andrea! Andrea provides a base color and just the right amount of blonde highlights to create the look I wanted. I love my hair high blonde and Andrea goes above and beyond to keep my hair healthy and beautiful! The salon is stunning with calming spa atmosphere.“

“The environment is calming and aesthetically beautiful. The Staff is thoughtful, like asking your pronouns and additional questions before starting. I feel comfortable here and can’t wait to go back!

Requested style: I got the sides of the head shaved/tapered and it came out great!“

“I saw Hailey for a facial and massage. It was honestly THE BEST facial and massage I’ve EVER had!! It was everything I ever wanted a massage to be and everything I ever want one to be!“

“Joanna is amazing with thick hair. I have never been more pleased with a stylist, and I'm 62 years old. I have a massive mane of long, thick, wavy, curly, and still naturally brunette hair. It's my crowning glory. I found her, and I will not go to anyone else.“

“Best service I have had since having locs (1year) fast, family environment peaceful and relaxing. Definitely 10/10 I would recommend this salon to anyone with locs.“

“I when yesterday on 8/16. I was very worried because I have been to a lot of stylists in Athens and a few going to Atlanta. A lot of them complained about my hair thickness and showed dislike about it. So I was very worried about it when I first come to the shop. The lady of this shop is very polite and kind. And she did a quiet a lot of work to my hair. But she didn’t make me feel unwelcome at all. The work is very professional. And my hair it turned out very pretty after she got done. I highly recommend this shop.Services: Blowouts“

“Love the atmosphere the vibes are everything staff is very professional and helpful and those head baths are chef kissed definitely recommend!!!!!“

“I’ve been coming here to see Jenna for a couple years now. Even moved to Atlanta temporarily and drove down here to still see her. I love you Jenna! & the salon itself is beautiful and well kept ❤️“

“The best haircut in Athens! I came away from Dree and Co. thoroughly impressed with both my haircut and the quality of service provided to me. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a haircut in Athens!“

“Should have reviewed Joanna a long time ago. I have been going to her for a couple years now(but, have only needed a haircut a handful of times). I recommend Joanna to anyone who has hair, especially those like me with curly hair. Having super thick, very course curly hair, I needed someone who knows what she's doing, which is how I found Joanna. She doesn't do what other stylist do usually, and that is to start brushing my hair out(which feels and looks terrible). Instead, she looks at my hair and makes a gameplan that fits exactly what my hair needed. As soon as I made the first appointment, I told my mom and sister about her, and they feel the same way. She goes above and beyond for every client; she is kind and personal and absolutely fantastic. She talks to you as if you're picking up the last conversation(which is incredible, being that I hadnt had a haircut from her since last Fall). I came in today with my mess of a hair(thick, curly hair and hadn't brushed it out, so I knew how much work was needed) and she made sure everything she was doing was what I wanted. I wanted it straight after the cut because I am about to travel, and she accommodated me 100%. Made my hair the softest it has ever been. Also, I recommend everyone have the deep conditioning treatment. Will continue to recommend Joanna to everyone, and will continue to go to her as long as I can!“

“I used to visit Alex in the Georgetown shopping center location for a haircut or extra conditioning session. What a wonderful experience that was for me. Does anyone know if they are remodeling or permanently closed?“

“My cousins, Mark & Grant, own Adam & Eve. They are THE best!! ❤️?❤️Services: Hairstyling“

“My favorite place to get pampered! Deri has been cutting and coloring my hair for well over a decade. I've been getting massages from Jill for almost 5 years now. And I just got my first gel manicure from Al (Nails by Al), and I will be back for more!“

“Ebony gave me a really great affordable silk press. It didn’t take long and the wash was very nice.“

“They did a great job with my wife's hair. I can't say enough good things about how it looks!“

“Hillary is the best! Im a long haired hippie and she tamed my wild Mane into a hip modern cutService: Hairstyling“

“Awesome experience. Very knowledgeable on all hair types. Wouldn't let anybody else do my hair even my mom...lol. But Mrs. Barbara goes above and beyond. True definiton of Quality over Quantity. 5 Stars!!!Service: Dreadlocks“

“Oh my alyssa is amazing.hoody hoo. The way she washed my hair . made my toes curl..anywho. She is great. Worth every penny.“

“Jackie and her team at LOCK NEST were a staple of downtown Athens for over 20 years.
She was THE stylist to the Stars when bands came to town for shows and quickly became known for her talent. For many years she had built an immense client base and it was easy to see on the many smiling faces, that she truly loved her work.
A few years ago, she closed the iconic Studio near the UGA campus and moved her Studio to East Athens, where she continued to cut hair for many years, while also caring for her mother and son.
I will always remember her as a strong person, who was talented, and kind.
She always knew how to take my floppy mop and use her skills and scissors to make me look fantastic.
She always maintained a closed group of friends and support and was one of the most loving people I've ever known.
She passed away on Monday the 24th of March, and with Her Passing, so also ends the story of Lock Nest Hair Salon.
The Athens community, as well as her many friends and family, throughout the country, mourn the loss of this talented stylist, entrepreneur, mother, sister, and aunt.

R.I.P JACKIE“
