Mint Salon

Do not get Keratin Complex Express Treatment from this salon. The treatment Franklin did damaged my healthy hair. The damage has only increased in the 4 months that I had the treatment. My hair is now dull and lifeless. The strand split all the way to mid shaft. I have had routine trims to minimize the damage but it just keeps getting worse. I wish I knew what to do to recover what I can.

The salon has great people who know what they’re doing and great sense of style. Unfortunately parking is really bad. I got booted while doing business here.

This review is ONLY for waxing.
The facility is always clean, and employees at the desk are always kind and willing to squeeze you in last minute if they can.
I love Sagell. She does a great job consistently with my waxes. She is quick, clean, professional, and funny as hell. Cannot recommend it more highly!

I love Mint! I finally chose some place to get my hair cut in Atlanta and Scott has been wonderful!
He’s incredibly honest about my hair and did an amazing cut. He’s working on my color now and I am beyond excited.
The staff is so friendly and are always willing to answer my million questions. I couldn’t recommend this salon more!

Have you ever heard of a «Dry Haircut»? I was not informed that the stylist I was booked with only cuts hair dry. I had purposely left my hair dirty so i could get a good salon shampoo and blow dry after my cut. I was informed that this stylist doesn’t even shampoo and blow dry your hair after she cuts it dry. She does not even know how to cut hair wet. What kind of beauty school did she go to?
The purpose of going to a professional salon is to looked coiffed and groomed after your beauty appointment. I have never heard of a salon that doesn’t wash your hair and blow it dry after a cut. I have been here before and received decent service but usually I have to wait an hour past my appointed time because the desk girls don’t know how to schedule. I am definitely never going back to a salon that does not wash your hair after a hair cut. I don;t see how you can cut hair «dry» especially when it is curly and get an even cut.
I go to Dry Bar every week to get my hair shampooed and blown dry except on days when I need it cut or colored. I really don’t like blow drying my waist long hair. This was a big disappointment for me since it was the weekend and i could not book another appointment with another salon.

It was my first time to Mint and I saw Scott a few Saturdays ago for color treatment — I did balayage+ombré = ombreyage. He was super personable and walked me through the process. We got straight to work and I have no complaints! Everyone was super friendly and upbeat, not to mention it was 80’s day on their overhead music, so that was an unexpected plus.
I have received tons of compliments on the color and always recommend Mint and Scott. Pricing was very reasonable for Midtown. I’ll be back again!

Not stella, i went in for a blow out with two friends. One had franklin and he was amazing her hair looked brilliant, he is he reason mints getting a three but on his own he deserves 5! Now my friend and i who have mid length hair had out blow out done in the same time the third friend did, and we both left with hair we could do better, i had frizz everywhere and it did not loom put together, and because of product used and time restrictions all i could do is pin it back! I personally will not be going back.

This 5-​star review is pretty much dedicated to Vera Collins, who gave me a great bang trim as a walk-​in a little over a week ago. I was so impressed with Vera’s attention to detail I made an appointment for the next day for a dye job. My vision was complicated but Vera got creative and the color came out *exactly* as I’d hoped. And for an affordable price. This chick is young but fresh and passionate about hair and makeup, and is going places.

I really honestly hate having to write this review. After two years of loving Mint (see the multiple five star reviews below), my last visit made such a bad impression that I will no longer return and cannot recommend this salon.
I received a confirmation text of my appointment for partial highlights and a cut/​style the morning of my visit. When I arrived at my appointment time, the receptionist mentioned they were running behind and she had tried to call me to let me know. I checked my phone at this point, and saw that I had missed a call from the salon. However, they had not left a voicemail and had not tried calling back again. Since my appointment was at 1pm and I didn’t have anything else on my calendar till 5pm, I figured it was no problem to wait, and I took a seat.
After waiting for an hour, my stylist came by, and apologized and said he would be with me shortly. An hour and forty-​five minutes after my appointment time, I was finally brought back. At no point did the receptionist update me on the status or offer me anything to drink. Had I known the wait would be nearly two hours (!!!), I would have rebooked.
It pretty much gets worse from there. At 5pm, I was still sitting in the chair with a head of wet, uncut hair, as my stylist had cut someone else’s hair while I was still in foils. By this point, I had to reschedule my next commitment that evening, knowing I would not make it in time. At 5:30pm, my hair was cut, but still wet. After being at Mint for over four hours at this point, I had to go and said I would leave with my hair damp. It looked like a mess — frizzy and obviously still wet. It should also be noted that my stylist had another client waiting (I believe overdue for her 5pm appointment).
When I checked out, I got the worst surprise, as prices had gone up by 30% since my last visit just three months before! I understand minor increases in price (say, maybe 10−15%), but for a jump of 30%, a client should have some prior notice such as when booking the appointment. Furthermore, during one of my previous appointments, my stylist had been running 30 minutes late, and took $ 20 off my total for the inconvenience. To find no such courtesy extended this time for a nearly two hour wait and instead be greeted with the surprise of a 30% rate hike was incredibly disappointing.
Two final disappointments. When I got home later that evening after my other commitment and finished blowdrying my hair, it became obvious that the cut was noticeably uneven. Like, at least an inch longer on my left side. When I got the follow up email from Mint the next day asking how my experience was, I left basically the whole review above in the comments. And this is what sealed the deal: two weeks later, I have not heard back.
No business can operate at 100% perfection all the time. Mistakes and delays happen; I get that. But all businesses should respond to honest and well-​intention-​ed customer feedback, particularly from repeat, long term customers. To not even receive a follow up from Mint regarding the poor quality services and the poor quality experience is what has ultimately led me to search for a new salon.

I went in for a brow wax and eyelash tint, which I’ve had done monthly for the last several years at various places. Since I’m traveling, Mint offered both services and had good reviews, so I popped in for a one-​time visit.
The girl who did the services was very personable and warm (I’m sure I’ll spell it wrong, but Sagel?). However the lash tint was done laying down (a first for me) and boy did it sting more than it should have. Sitting up and wiping off with solution afterwards, it drains the dye off your lashes and maybe down your face. When laying down, wiping with solution, it goes… into your eyes. Ow.
With the brow wax, she was very receptive listening to what I wanted every step of the way. I actually like the outcome of the shaping, but had two strips of skin pulled off under my brow, one on each side; still red, painful, and very noticeable. (Again, I’m not new to brow waxing, and the one other time that has ever happened it was not in multiple places)
Wanted to have a better experience but can’t recommend the place for brow/​lash maintenance based on my visit.

Sejal is the best at what she does. I trust no one else with my Brazilian waxing! I will follow her anywhere including her new location, Mint Salon. She always greets you with a smile. She is knowledgeable about different skin types and gentle with those private areas. Amazing skills and amazing personality!

I have no major complaints about my service. When I went to the salon I was seated in time for my appointment.
The place was obviously understaffed and so Scott had to take several calls during my visit. Understandable, but I felt the calls could have been returned when voicemails were left and clients weren’t in chairs.
The haircut was decent and I got a 20% discount for being a first timer. Scott was adequately personable. All that said, I feel like I could have gotten similar results from a barber shop.
The reviews seem to indicate this is a great place for women’s services, but I’m going to keep looking for a regular place to get my hair cut.

Props to Vera and Scott for making this review a 5-​it could have been a lot worse! I arrived a few minutes early for my evening appt. and was told that Franklin was out sick. No one had called and told me, in fact the receptionist had confirmed by appt. just the day before. Vera and Scott were the only 2 stylists and were really busy but thankfully Vera had an opening and was able to fit me in.
She was fabulous-​listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. She even showed me how to style my new short haircut exactly like the photo I brought in. She was fun and easy to talk to and gave me several pointers for using products as well.
I received a discount for being a first-​time customer but even without, the price is very comparable for the area and I’ll definitely be back to see Vera. Thanks Mint!

Been going to Mint Salon for a few months and had no complaints until the stylist took a rather nice chunk of my ear at my last visit… mistakes happen for sure, but the way the stylist handled it was terrible. He also charged me (actually gave me a whopping 20% off) for chopping a chunk of my ear. A follow up call would have been nice, but that didn’t happen.
At this point a refund would be the acceptable thing to do.

BEWARE! Just look at the pic of my results vs what I showed Erik I wanted!

I went here for waxing. As soon as I saw the specialist a) was not going to use gloves and b) did not appear to have a single use pot of wax, I had to go.
Not sure if this policy has since changed? If you’re weird about wax hygiene, I recommend double checking before you get your pants off.

For the past six years I’ve lived in Atlanta, I’ve always wanted to check out this place. Then when I saw the deal on
for only for a cut, color and style, I was in!
My stylist, Erik, was awesome. I rarely get my hair colored, so when I explained I wanted highlights like «Kate Beckinsale» he was able to customize my color to enhance my natural shades. «It’s going to be pretty,» he said. Turns out, he was right! Erik also paid attention to my layers to give my hair a little more texture than I’m used to, but it’s a great style for the summertime.
I really liked the vibe of Mint Salon. The whole team of stylists was friendly and helpful. When I arrived, I was immediately offered a beverage (although there’s a lack of coffee… buy a Keurig y’all). I felt at home joking with the other people around me while I was getting my hair done. There was a sincere sense of Southern Hospitality.
The only reason I can’t give Mint Salon 5 stars is because I had to wait awhile for service when I was literally the only person waiting to get my haircut on the Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend. I showed up at 9:57 for my 10 a.m. appointment and didn’t get in a chair until 20 minutes later. So I sipped my water, and a Diet Coke, caught up on my US Weekly, then enjoyed my time with Erik.
Mint Salon is a great choice for anyone in the Buckhead/​Midtown/​Highlands area. Go see Erik… you won’t be disappointed.

I received a coupon for Mint Salon several months ago and realized I pass it very often. I finally tried them out a few weeks ago and LOVE IT. Everyone was SOOO nice and friendly. Ania was the esthetician for my Brazilian wax and she did great. The salon is so clean and neat. I’m very picky when it comes to choosing a place for my Brazilian waxes. Who wants to have one done somewhere that’s located in a shady area and/​or doesn’t give you that comforting feeling? Not me!
Can’t wait to return!

About a month prior to my first trip to Cancun, Mexico, what should appear on Groupon but a bikini or Brazilian wax deal at Mint Salon. Perfect — what better reason to give a full-​on Brazilian a try than for Mexico? None that I can think of, especially after a little more digging on Unilocal to verify that they do them well.
So last week I called to schedule an appointment with Kent and last night I took the plunge. Mint’s a great little salon. Very friendly staff who all greeted me when I entered, the receptionist offered me a beverage (no alcohol like my hair salon, but a Diet Coke will always win my approval too), and the whole salon is very clean, modern and upscale looking.
Kent came out to get me a few minutes after I arrived and we went back to a private room for the waxing. After I’d gotten out of my bottoms and draped the towel across my top (more to hold onto for potential pain than any modesty — I mean c’mon I’m there for a Brazilian, after all), he re-​entered and we started chatting. That was probably the best thing he could have done during the entire session. We talked about what I did, what he did, how we both got to Atlanta, etc and having that as a distraction definitely helped take my mind off the pain I was willingly inflicting on myself in the name of experimentation.
I give Kent huge props though — he’s friendly, he’s quick, he taught me a lot about waxing and how to take care of myself post-​wax, maintain it, how often to come back if I want to do this on a regular basis, and in about 25 minutes, we were all done. I was slightly sticky from little bits of leftover wax, quite red and tender down there, and still trying to decide if I want to make this part of my regular beauty regimen.
The jury’s still out on that, but the price was very reasonable and when I checked out they gave me a discount for my next waxing, which I very much appreciated.
I certainly recommend Mint Salon, and may very well go back. Although maybe only for special occasions like bathing-​suit oriented vacations, etc.
SIde note: if you are going for a full-​on Brazilian, pop a couple Ibuprofen beforehand, have some alcohol based toner at home for after, don’t shave for at least 2 –3 weeks before (so there’s enough hair to pull) and gird your loins in general. You’ve been warned.

Had a Brazilian wax done here, and he did a good job.
Please tell me why the esthetician double dipped the stick into the wax??? That’s some potentially dangerous, unsanitary foolishness! Who knows how much collective bacteria is in that wax pot smh…
