Godiva Salon — Local services in Atlanta

Atmosphere and services are great! And judging by the positive reviews given by others regarding the staff, this place is fantastic if you get the right girl. But I only give 3 stars because of stylist Susan. I saw her the first time I went and she did a decent job with cut and blow out. But her friendly conversation consisted of telling me my hair was a "monster" and "surprisingly difficult" (I'm Asian...it's just sort of thick. definitely not unmanageable). If I pay a decent dollar to get my hair done by a professional, I expect said professional to not insult my hair. But I let it go and saw her again a few months later. This time, she was clearly rushed, and mumbled something about needing to go let her dogs out. She did a sloppy blowout job, and had left the salon before I got out of the smock room. Guess she didn't want a tip? Finally, my friend (who is getting married very soon) had a practice updo done in preparation for the big day. They assigned her Susan (against my suggestion). The updo was horrible. It looked like sloppy brains, and was already falling out within an hour of my friend leaving the salon. When my friend expressed her displeasure and sent pictures to the salon, they brushed it off as a "practice" and said they would just put more pins in it on the big day. Trust me, there were plenty of pins, they weren't even hidden in the hair! It was just sloppy work. She's now pursuing other options. TL:DR- love the salon, but I wouldn't put my...

Olivia is the best!! I trashed my blonde hair with black box dye a couple years ago and just let it grow out after having an allergic reaction. I came in with a part blonde and part (what eventually turned blackish green) mess of long, dry, straight, flat hair. I initially just came in for a consultation. She wanted to do a strand test to see if the color could be lifted. No such luck! Basically it came down to the best option being to cut it off. My hair was super long, well past the midway mark of my back, and I was nervous about cutting so much off, especially since I hadn't planned on getting any service done that day. I had never thought I looked good with shorter hair, turns out I just hadn't been getting the right cut. I trusted Olivia to make a shorter hairstyle to look super cute, and she nailed it! She cut it perfect for my face shape and gave it nice layers so it looks nice and full! I've never been so excited about a haircut, especially having to cut so much of it off! My box dye mistake was like it never even happened and I walked out of there with a gorgeous new haircut and so much more confidence. I'm coming back in a few days to get some highlights and I can't wait to see what else she does with it! I will literally trust no one else with my hair now lol. The salon itself is super nice. Very clean and everyone is so nice. Olivia is so sweet. Great...

First class service all the way!!!! I was referred to Tony at Godiva Salon when I was searching for a salon while working on a movie in GA...(Electric Jesus) My director wanted the best of the best to cut our actor’s hair into an authentic 1980’s cut (the movie takes place in 1986)...I love Tony’s versatility and skills that he can do any modern look yet give my actors the look they needed for their characters to come to life... My director wanted my actor and actress to look like movie stars when they were done their visit to the salon...Tony and Scotty more than delivered...my actor said “I have had my hair cut by many people but when Tony cuts your hair it’s like having a sculptor cut your hair.” And it’s so true...I even had to get in on the action because I wanted Tony to cut my hair too...Our actress loves her color (that Scotty gave her) so much she’s going to keep it even after the filming. .. A wonderful day, a wonderful experience...the only negative is that I live 600 miles away...I love you all at Godiva...and I thank you for making me look good by making my actors look like movie stars...I am thankful I was recommended to...
