NBR: Cheap Hair Salon

lindzed · June 2011

Hey girls,

So with the new baby, moving houses, and still being on unpaid maternity leave I don't have the $250 I spend on getting my hair done. I usually have it highlighted and cut. Does anyone have any good cheap places that you have used before? At this point I'm not sure if I am better off giving a cheaper place a try or just getting it cut and letting the color look bad for another month or two. Thanks!

Not very experienced in different hair salons, but the one that comes to mind is New Talents. You probably already know that one, though.

Aveda Institute? I haven't been before but am thinking about it....

Thanks! I may have to try the Aveda Institute. I hadn't even thought of it.

when i met my husband i told him he better learn how to help me color my hair because i wasn't springing for regular coloring. now he even requests that we do highlights, and with the kits out now it is soooo easy. he is so proud when hair stylists compliment my color job and say they couldn't tell it wasn't done professionally! :-)

I go to New Talents and have been very happy with them--just had my color done yesterday. I went to the Aveda Institute a few times and I didn't think my color came out as well there plus they take FOREVER. I know they are students and I don't mind it taking a little longer, but one time it was 5 hours for a cut and color. New Talents never takes more than an hour for each.

Thanks! Good to know that New Talents doesn't take as long. I have tried doing it myself before and it has not turned out very good when I do that. My hair tends to get an orange look even when I have it done professionally sometimes.

I used to go to expensive hair salons and was not even happy with the results. I tried this lil shop at Shallowford Rd. It's called Hair Dreams and they give the best hair cut ever.

I go to Salon 124 in Roswell, and when I lived over that way I also went to their location in Duluth. They also run Genesis Salon, where all the stylists start out and they get promoted to Salon 124 when they have enough hours and can pass all the requirements. It looks like all their locations are still over on the Gwinnett side but if you make it out that way, I've always been happy with the one in Suwanee when I've gone.

I go to see Bree at Salon Red in Candler Park. When I get my hair colored (one process color) and cut, it's only $90. They are very reasonable.

I drive all the way to Buckhead to go there too. After passing out tips, you still end up walking out of there $160 lighter for a cut and full highlights. I feel your pain. I'd love to hear some other suggestions too!

I'm not sure where you live in Atlanta or how far you are willing to drive, but I go to a great little salon in Dallas (Paulding county). It's called Hair Connection and its off of Villa Rica Highway and their number is (770) 445-3510. Chelsie does my highlights and does just as good a job (and maybe even better) and it only cost me $45!

There is a deal for a cut + color + style for $57 at BlueMed Spa on Living Social today. Not familiar with them, but saw the deal and thought of this thread. From time to time you will see hair salons on the deal sites, so something to keep in mind.
