First haircut since I moved here from Brooklyn- my wavy/ curly hair had not been cut since August 2023- and the whole experience wildly exceeded my expectations. First of all, Rutabaga salon = John. So, no distractions. Chill environment, John has quiet confidence & is comfortable in his skin, so you are instantly at ease. You can just be yourself. (Not every salon or stylist is like this- sometimes it feels like poser central & it's just exhausting.) We talked about what I wanted, he washed my hair, and cut it- conversation flowed easily, but I also sensed that if I just wanted to be quiet that would have been fine also.

August 2023
I had tried several places, both inexpensive and pricy, to get a haircut in and around Decatur. At Rutabaga I met John, who always listens to what I ask for and always seeks to improve on whatever cut he's doing. The price is very reasonable, and scheduling is easy. Also, love his choice of music! Have been getting my hair cut there for a couple years now, and recommend it to my friends! Anne P.

Rutabaga is a great spot if you want a quality haircut. I highly recommend John, he's a nice guy, very personable, and extremely skilled at his craft. It's hard to find somebody that can cut my hair well and he nailed it first cut! Photos below are two years after I got my first cut from him.Services: Hairstyling
