Ambrosia Salon

I’ve been going to ambrosia for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. Brenda has been my stylist for over 5 years and she is the best. In fact, if she ever moves, I’ll travel to wherever she lives to get my hair cut.

It’s hard to have dark skin and go blonde, but my stylist was a miracle worker. I don’t look «crazy», it just looks softly edgy. Love it.
You know they are great when you tell them, do whatever you want… He took his time and made sure every strand was colored at is should be with subtle down and lowlights. I get compliments all the time. I kind f don’t want to do this review, because what if I can’t get my appointment because they’re so busy making everyone look their absolute best!
Everyone at the salon is very nice and respectful not just to the customers, but to each other.
They offer you drinks, it smells heavenly, and the lighting is great up front, so after your service, do take a second to take a selfie.

I went to get my make-​up done. The make-​up artist didn’t follow the picture and for the price, I expected a little more contouring and precision with color. She definitely needs more training with working on darker skin. However, she deserves the award for lashes. I highly recommend her for the application of eye lashes. The way she applies them is nothing like anything else. To that end, she uses high quality products and her lashes are impeccable. After 1 week, my lashes were still in place! Talk about flawless. I can’t give her props on the make-​up, but thus far, I think she’s the best in Atlanta for eye lashes.
This is a very warm and welcoming place. Everyone is really nice. Nicole is their receptionist and she makes you feel like a million bucks. I got a chance to see some of their work with hair and I hope they branch out and try their skills on ethnic hair. Their cuts, color and styles are beautiful. They colored my husband’s hair and he loved it! You don’t see the diversity of clientale here but once they tap into that market, I’m pretty sure this will be the salon of choice in Atlanta!

Lauren took my hair from Brassy to Classy! LOVE IT!
When moving from England to Atlanta — one of my main concerns was finding a new hairdresser. I love my hair and I am petrified of anyone ruining it. I left my colour as long as I physically could, my roots were so bad I couldn’t cope anymore. After asking around and hearing lots of good things about Lauren Crossman at Ambrosia, I decided to book in.
From the second I walked in I was greeted by the lovely Nicole who could not do enough for me. As I walked through the salon, all the stylists were smiling, welcoming and there was a nice, friendly atmosphere. I also noticed that everyone had GREAT hair… which put me at ease about my own!
When I met Lauren I immediately apologised for how long I had let my roots grow, I was so embarrassed. Lauren reassured me and made a plan. At every point she made sure that I knew what was going on, talking me through what was happening and gave me advice on what would suit me. I am very picky so I ask a lot of questions– each one was answered with careful consideration and confidence.
When my colour was finished, Lauren gave me a blow dry… I am never happy with salon blow drys… but this time I loved it and I absolutely loved my colour!
What I must say is that Lauren is an absolute perfectionist, my colour has never looked so natural– yet vibrant. My blow dry lasted 4 days which is unheard of as I have horses and I am constantly outside riding.
Thank you Lauren and to the rest of the team at Ambrosia… I will definitely be coming back. I have also posted a photo of my hair to this page.

I came here based on a recommendation from someone. I have curly hair and their website calls the stylists «curly hair gurus.»
Nicole at the front desk is amazing. She and the davines products are the reasons for the stars.
My stylist was working on two other clients as she cut my hair. One left towards the beginning of my appointment, the other after me. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, I talked about how I love the length of my hair and only wanted to take about an inch off, and we talked. Maybe she was distracted but she basically completely ignored what I said about length and nearly 4 inches of my hair was cut off the back. I hate having short hair. It’s just not me — and it’s neither the style I showed her nor the one I asked for. I didn’t ask her to «even up the front and back.» I asked for layers.
After they used Deva curl products on my hair, we all kind of stared at my hair wondering why it looked kind of dumb. It was pretty bad when you know the stylist is questioning why it looks so weird. They tried to add more volume at the top but because it was so short I was supremely unhappy.
Also, she asked me several times if my hair was curlier underneath and I said yes. Why would you cut those bottom layers shorter then? My hair looks so dumb, but mostly I hate the way I FEEL with my haircut. It’s super curly underneath and more wavy on the top. It looks like a clown wig.
Then I was charged $ 125 for a cut I loathe. I could barely sign the credit card receipt I just wanted to get out of there.
I don’t really know what to do because it’s not like I can get my hair length back. It’s not a bad dye job that they can fix. It’s inches of my hair just gone — instructions completely ignored. I wish I had a better experience but I didn’t. Still crying a day later. Maybe for other services they’ll work for you. It took years to grow out my hair, man. Oh well.

I love Ambrosia Salon. From the minute you walk in the front door everyone makes you feel so special. Mary cuts my hair and Susan does my color. They take time to listen and ask lots of questions. They make a point of then advising me of all my options. I trust them unconditionally with my hair and color. Today I just go with their recommendations because their ideas are so much better than mine. I have compliments on my hair all the time. It is so easy to style and go! A happy client forever.

I went there for my very first time after reading some good reviews and I was not disappointed. I got my hair cut with the owner of the salon and she is amazing and has such a great personality. When I went I need a haircut really bad and they did an amazing job, I was very pleased with how it turned out because my hair was very long and so out of shape, after seeing the resultsI did not care about the high price because it was worth it. I do color my hair often but I’m not sure if I will ever get it done there because of the high prices.

MUST READ The good reviews are about a stylist that is no longer there. This can save you money, hair, and sanity.
I am in total disbelief of the unprofessionalism at this salon. I purchased a very expensive hair unit from a company in Atlanta whom recommended Lauren at the salon to color the hair piece. Before the coloring process begin I contacted Lauren to discuss the color. Lauren would not answer my questions regarding the color she replied to me that” I was killing her”. I wanted to get answers to my questions and concerns regarding the color prior to beginning to make sure we were both on the same page regarding the color job. Several hours after Lauren told me I was killing her and she never answered my questions or concerns she told me the hair piece was done and I could come pick it up. When I arrived the hair color was nothing like the color I asked for. The color went from a brassy orange color to a grey muted ash color. I spoke with Mary (one of the owners of the salon and also Lauren mother). Initially Mary try to find every way possible to avoid being responsible for the disaster color job.
After running out of options to avoid the responsibility she finally agreed that it was their fault and Lauren should have told me she could not do the job correctly upfront but they would fix it. She said they would test a portion of the hair to see if it would take bleach to correct the bad color job. Several stylist at the salon jumped in to rectify the problem. I was asked to leave and return in a hour. When I returned the color was beautiful and I was definitely satisfied. I asked Lauren how do I take care of the hair at home. She reply to me, «Do not put shampoo on the hair at home, take it to a salon to be shampooed. You can put conditioner on the hair at home rinse it and let it air dry but do not shampoo it at home». I wore the unit for 2 days took it off to condition it and store it away for my next use. I wet the hair put conditioner on it allow the conditioner to sit on the hair for 15 minutes and then rinsed the conditioner out. The hair matted and turned into the biggest disaster I’ve ever seen. The hair shedded out of the hair piece. My several hundred dollar investment was ruined. I contacted Lauren at the salon and sent her pictures of the damaged hair piece. I told her I wet the hair and put conditioner on it for 15 minutes and rinsed it out. She replied to me saying I needed to contact the salon and speak with the receptionists if I had any questions. I contacted the owner of the company I purchased the hair from to inform her of the disaster. She in turn contacted Lauren at the salon to determine what process was actually done to the hair. Lauren told her that she made me aware that this was going to happen and I told her I didn’t care and to still do the color. Really! After spending hundreds of dollar on hair I told you it’s ok to damage it??? That’s crazy!!! I was informed by that supplied that the hair was over processed and that was the cause of the disaster. The hair supplier contacted the owner of the salon Mary four days later after she returned from being out of town. She told Mary the situation and told her it was only fair that they covered the cost of my replacement unit since they over processed the hair. Mary told her she was not going to cover the cost to replace it and she think I was just trying to get a free hair piece!!! Mary stated that the supplier should have never recommended Lauren for the color job. She should have recommended herself or one of the other stylist Susan. Mary also told the hair supplier that the color was not right when I initially saw the hair upon arrival because the brown color they placed on the hair initially faded into the orange brassy color to much (reason for my grey ash colored hair when I initially arrived). The salon never told me (the customer) this. Lauren whom is in the background during the phone conversation with Mary and the hair supplier told Mary I texted her and told her I put a color rinse on the hair once I got home because I didn’t like the color! (Now they are back at trying to avoid being responsible). In the text I sent to Lauren the only thing I mentioned about rinse was that I put the conditioner on the hair let it sit for 15 minutes and then I rinsed the conditioner out. Mary told the hair supplier that she was wasting her time on this beautiful Saturday and she did not have time to deal with this sh*t (some professionalism right). I am stuck with a totally damaged over processed hair unit due to lack of communication and inexperience of the salon. Most unprofessional business I’ve yet to encounter. Please stay away from this salon. Atlanta has much better to offers. I hope this review saves someone from the disaster I experienced. I called to speak with the owner Mary and she refused to speak with me and also threatened to call the cops if I came to the salon for a conference to settle this.

I wrote this review in March when I was first at Ambrosia but just saw that it had not been posted. SO, I’m trying again because this is an amazing place!
What an amazing place! Nicole, at the front desk, is the most kind, friendly person on the planet! She takes wonderful care of clients and makes sure that you are comfortable, enjoying your time at Ambrosia and trying products! She is a true gem and she clearly enjoys her job. I am grateful that she connected me with Brandon — I got a wonderful haircut and am actually having good luck drying it close to the way he did! :) He is very friendly and talented. Anyone is lucky to go to Ambrosia.

From when I walked in the front desk assistant was super friendly and sweet. She briefed me on when my stylist, Brandon, would be done. Offered me a beverage and gave me my hair chair robe. Brandon came shortly took me to the chair he was very friendly from the first interaction and gave me a beautiful cut. I am transitioning from heat damage trying to rock my natural hair. He cut me dry and cut each curl pretty much.

Why update when I’m still giving the salon 5 stars? Well, you see the first 5 stars were rightfully earned. This second 5 stars? WAY AWESOMER!
My former stylist, Will, left a while ago and I now see Brandon. I really enjoy the work he does with my hair. I’m not a talkative client; I enjoy that he makes me feel comfortable with being able to sit in silence and doesn’t appear to mind. He’s down-​to-​earth, friendly, and most importantly, a talented stylist. He also knows I have the patience of toddler and works fast! He can tell if I don’t like something and will graciously takes action to correct it. I feel like my money is well spent here and I don’t get sticker shock when it’s time to pay.
Cleanliness: This place maintained like no other salon I’ve seen. Everyone helps out… if stylists are in-​between clients or it’s the other staff stepping in, this place is clean… like OCD clean! Love it!
Customer Service: I appreciate the communication they give. I get calls and texts messages as reminders. I’m not a planner and my hair appts are usually scheduled when I’m in dire need. They do a great job of trying to work something out to get me an appt within the following day or two. On my last visit I called on a Thursday and booked for a Sat. I was then called early Friday when a client canceled her appt later that day (Friday). They didn’t have to fit me in sooner but it’s that kind of thoughtfulness that makes me love this place.
When I walk in and at various times throughout my appt I’m always asked if I’d like a drink or need a magazine. All the employees and fellow clientele are so personable! I genuinely feel like the stylists love their jobs and enjoy being at work; it’s reflected in the positive atmosphere. Can’t say it enough, I really love this place! I love the products they have stocked and available to take home, most of which are local/​hand made. The music is never loud and any side conversations are humorous and appropriate for the setting. There is a small lot and street parking available. In the time I’ve been going I’ve never had an issue finding a spot.
You all should give this place a try if you’re in search of a new salon. Oh, and have I mentioned this place is AWESOME?!

This salon saved me from going out of town looking like a mad woman. I was first skeptical about booking my appointment because I wasn’t sure this salon did natural hair. After reading some of the reviews I decided to go for it and make an appointment with Brandon. I scheduled for a color correction because my previous stylist did a red color on my hair that rinsed out after the first wash, and resulted in red, blond, and black blotches all over my head… basically terrible, and Brandon was my only hope to not leave town looking that way.
The salon is very nice, very nice staff (VERY IMPORTANT IN MY BOOK!!). Brandon called me back, and consulted with me about what to do with my hair. He lifted and recolored it all under 2 hours (ANOTHER SURPRISE).
I am in love with my new color, as is everyone else. The only downside is that the salon is rather pricey, but I will still be booking my appointments to come back and keep my color on top! :)

first time at ambrosia. got color done by i believe brandon. exceptional, best work ever. color is really really beautiful
friendly & excellent service.

Love this place! Brenda was so sweet and took her time cutting my hair. The environment is very relaxing. It was probably the best experience in a salon I’ve ever had!

I had Suzanna cut my hair and she did a magnificent job. It was one of if not THE best hair cut I’ve ever got and I am pretty picky about my hair. I have long wavy hair and I wanted something with lots of choppy layer and bangs. Suzanna understood exactly what I wanted (hairdressers never do) and and she spent a lot of time fussing with it to make it just right. One of the few places I’ve gone where they really understand how to do curly/​wavy hairdoes. This place is great and I am definitely going back: D

Based on a referral from a friend, I made an appointment with Brandon. I was able to call on a Thursday and get an appointment for the next day, Friday. Upon arriving to the salon, I was greeted at the front desk, asked if I wanted anything to drink and given a smock to change into. My first impression was that the salon was very professional and friendly. Overall, Brandon did a very good job. He helped me to make a decision and understand my hair better in my transition phase from relaxed hair to natural hair. We agreed to cut most of the remaining relaxer and I was instantly in love with the cut and didn’t even regret loosing the length. The entire process took a little under two hours. I’ll definitely be back, but because the salon is a little pricey for my student-​lifestyle, it won’t be as often as I would like. The only issue I had with the salon is that it appears that they don’t have a full-​time receptionist and the stylists had to run to the front to answer the phones, greet customers, check customers out, etc. I called right before my appointment to figure out what the salon was located next to and I didn’t get an answer (which I later found out why — all the stylists were busy!). This doesn’t hinder me from wanting to give the salon my business, but in my fair opinion, the owner should look into hiring someone!

I moved to Atlanta recently and have been anxious about finding a stylist that I can trust to help me achieve the perfect degree of blond in addition to giving me a cut that is stylish but low maintenance. I purchased a Living Social deal for Ambrosia Salon to try it out, and I have nothing but good things to say.
HL was my stylist, and he did a fabulous job. I am SO happy with how my hair turned out. His focus and attention were very clearly on making sure I had the best experience possible. We ran into an issue, which is bound to happen in the world of hair coloring, where the color already on my hair interacted in an odd way with the low lights we were trying out, resulting in various shades of pink. This could have been a HUGE disaster, had HL not gone through strand tests in advance. In my corporate life this is what we call excellent attention to detail and risk mitigation. Other stylists offered advice and we eventually landed on the right color combo, but at that point in the evening we decided to forgo with the low lights and just do a touch up color and a cut. I have a follow up appointment to add in the low lights in a few weeks, and HL offered to teach me how to use velcro rollers during that session, which I am sure will revolutionize my personal style :) I also picked out a Jenn Anniston cut from a magazine for the cut, and he did a fantastic job of matching it.
Throughout the (couple hour) testing process, HL asked several times if he could get me anything and how I was doing, and he obviously performs well under pressure.
Overall, great salon, great stylists and I know where I’ll be going to get my hair done from now on!

I went to Ambrosia for the first time about a week ago and it was AMAZING!!! Brandon cut and gave me the most heavenly wash! He is awesome with all types of hair!
From the time I walked in until the time I left I was treated like royalty! Everyone is so friendly and the front desk, HL is amazing!!! You have to give Ambrosia a try… your hair will thank you!

delightful.
My favorite stylist changed homes recently. I’m very hit or miss on salons as once upon a time i was a receptionist/​coordinator in a salon. I really believe in getting in and getting out. However. I love Ambrosia. Everyone speaks. I mean everyone whether your their client or not and they make you feel at home. Christina is a delight at the desk and calls and confirms appts. A big save for me because i forget EVERYTHING. Ambrosia feels like an escape. Its never crowded the atmosphere is always pleasant and the owner stops and chats with all of the salon goers. These things make for a pleasurable experience. I would suggest Brandon because he is the consumate professional. For the first time in my life. I am able to get in and out of a salon 2 hrs or less believe me me with a head of super thick curly hair thats unbelievable. If your in need of a precision cut and style Brandon is the go to guy. If your looking for a fun likable atmosphere. Ambrosia is the place.

First, I am VERY picky about who cuts my hair and I am very detailed about what I like and don’t like – but with Ambrosia Salon, the staff members were really professional and knew what they were doing so I was actually able to relax while I was there.
The staff is super friendly and give you a comfy robe to sit in :) Some salons similar to Ambrosia were just too trendy for me and they came across a little pretentious, but not Ambrosia Salon!
You greeted with a smile and positive feedbacks all threw your haircut from other staff members.
My second time there, I saw Suzanna and definitely recommend her, she was totally sweet and did a great job! I tipped her 10.00 and rescheduled another appointment. I was super impressed.
