I came to Revive with a bit of a difficult request: I had dark Asian hair that had been highlighted a few days ago and wanted even more of it to be lightened. The highlighting from the previous salon was a bit streaky and uneven in color/tone of blonde. I'm not sure who was servicing me today—reading from past reviews, perhaps it was Thuy?—but he was excellent, like magic.
I can't believe I haven't been going here my whole life! He expressed to me that this could be a challenge for him and he usually doesn't do this sort of dramatic/unnatural coloring, emphasizing hat he'd like to preserve my hair's health. However, he promised me he could still give me allover evenness in color and make it more natural, so I trusted him. He worked quickly, professionally, and was extremely kind throughout. I received some foils and then a thorough shampoo/condition and blowdry. The end result was perfect and exactly like I'd been wanting all along; I came out as blonde as could be without sacrificing too much of my hair's health, and there was no streakiness. Not only was I delighted with the result but he seemed to take genuine pride + joy in making a client happy as well, you can tell how much he cares about his craft.
The salon is super clean, with a nice waiting area, art on the walls, and a station with water bottles; I was greeted by another staffer with warmth and kindness. I would highly HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone looking for a fantastic cut and color from the kindest people around. I'm definitely going to be coming back for a root touch-up!...
Read moreThis is I think the third review I am placing in google. And this one definitely deserve it! I was visiting from Boston and my hair badly needed a color and a trim. I am very selective with hair salons just cuz I think I had bad experiences with some of them and I was browsing through google and this hair salon caught my eyes and so I decided to go here. The place is so simple which I love. Thuy is amazing! He listens to what you like and he puts a twist on it! and I love how my hair came out. I love the color and the haircut. I feel like my hair has been sleeping for a long time now since I usually grow my hair long for donation and get a haircut after 2-3 years so I don't let anyone style it...but it felt like it was time for me to try out something new and I was lucky it was Thuy who did it! I love my hair now... I feel like I don't need to put that much effort in the morning and it will look just as amazing as I first had it done! I am already planning to visit him every time I'm in Atlanta to visit my friend. I found the hair salon that I like even if I am far away! Funny thing is I like his skills better than those that I've tried in NY (and there were...
Read moreThee worst haircut I’ve ever had and I’m 60. The pictures on the website are excellent, but my haircut is massively overlayered and shapeless and wrong for my hair type (fine but thick and wavy). I look like the Beatles in the 60s, like a bowl was used to cut the top layer. I asked specifically not to overlayer it and explained the shape I would like and got the exact opposite. Back to the Beatles reference, there’s shelf of hair at about eye level that just sits there and doesn’t blend with anything. At best it’s an outdated cut that was never in style, but it’s not even that. Just massively unflattering and unstylish and very poorly done. Jason did my cut. Very nice person and salon. I don’t know where the pictures on the website came from but they are not the same stylist I had. Update: it’s been a few weeks and it’s morphed into a mullet: there’s a shelf at the bottom of my ears and the shelf at eye level. It’s so overlayeted that the top lays perfectly flat. It’s almost comical how unflattering this cut is. I can’t do anything with it and I might have to be on camera soon. Unless you want to look like you stepped out of the 70s, avoid...
