Twisted Elegance Salon

I just got a Keratin done with Atallah and it turned out wonderful. It is the same quality if not better than what I used to get at Van Michael for 4 times the price. My stylist got me out the salon before my cut-​off time which was huge. Usually whenever I set a time limit I have to leave by, I am never out of the salon by that time. The salon is in a nice office park right near Piedmont Park. I would highly recommend this salon and seeing Atallah!

I have been a natural for almost two years and have been struggling to find the perfect stylist that knows what they are doing. I have had so many bad experiences I just gave up looking. My sister recommended this salon a few times now. She has straight hair and gets it cut and colored and it always looks amazing. I finally decided to make an appointment and I could not be more pleased.
Attallah not only gave my natural hair life but also made it very manageable. She was friendly and fun to talk to. I tend to ask alot of questions and she didn’t mind at all. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Which made me like her even more! She gave me tips on what I can do at home as well. I haven’t received this many compliments since I began this journey. I will definitely be back.

I had my haircut done by Eric and he was such as sweetheart! He really listened to what I wanted and gave me the appropriate cut. The only thing that kind of bothered me was the other hairstylist (not sure what her name is) who seemed kind of rude, so I wouldn’t try booking an appointment with her unless she’s famous for giving amazing cuts. Anyways, I highly recommend Eric!

I absolutely loathe going to hair appointments, so a 5-​star salon rating really says something coming from me. I recently had an appointment with Eric to even out my growing-​out color and get a trim.
The salon is tiny, but I can appreciate the concept of the Beya lease spaces for salon owners. It’s nice that there’s a parking lot in front so you don’t have to worry about finding a spot or paying for parking.
Even though the salon had double booked him and I had to «take turns» with another girl who arrived after me, Eric was efficient and managed the situation well. Eric was pleasant to chat with without being overly chatty and he has a fun taste in music for the background playlist.
I am pleased with my cut and color (more maintenance than drastic change), and I appreciate how he explained the products he used to me. He understands the difference between a trim and a cut when you’re trying to grow your hair out and want to make it look healthier, yet take off as little length as possible.
There was no hassle with using the Groupon I’d purchased and he didn’t charge me extra for a «long hair fee» like many salons do. He also didn’t try to sell me products, which I appreciate after going to many other stylists who make the hard sell and pass hair judgement unnecessarily.

I went to this place to get a haircut after reading good reviews on Groupon and Unilocal.It was a huge disappointment. I don’t know if it was because I was using a Groupon or if the hair-​stylist was having a bad day but neither is good enough reason to not give customer a good service.
The stylist (a young girl) literally shampooed and conditioned my hair in half a minute. After that she just asked me how many inches of hair do I want to cut off and did not ask any other questions and just started cutting the hair. By this time I had lost interest and told her to just trim the layers I already had. She did a bad job at blow drying the hair too. The groupon mentioned deep conditioning which was never done. The stylist did not smile even once during the appointment or say thank you when given tip (BTW I tipped on the full price to drive home a point)
At the end of the appointment she tried to sell me keratin treatment at a discounted price. I wouldn’t go to this place even if they give me a service for free. My friend was also planning to use a groupon but after my bad experience she has wisely decided against it.
If the business does not want to treat the Groupon customers well just stop posting the Groupon, there are plenty of other salons which do not discriminate against their groupon customers and this is how they earn customer’s loyalty.

After looking for a place to get ~4−5 inches chopped off, I found Twisted Elegance Salon! You’ll find it within the Amsterdam Walk plaza shops and inside the Beya Salon Studios, which houses 27 different salons. As with most plazas, parking can be a bit hectic and full. If you arrive during the weekday in the mid-​afternoon hours, just be wary there might be a bit more traffic, since an elementary school is located in the same area.
If you’re not familiar with Beya, they lease out spaces for salon professionals with different styles and skills. So, what you get is a small, intimate space with literally, just you and your stylist, and maybe just one more customer + their respective stylist. I absolutely love the concept and wish I had stumbled upon this place sooner! Whether you’re looking for a weave, facial, someone to wax those eyebrows, or anything as typical as a cut/​dye/​style, you’ll definitely find it at Beya.
Back to TES: Atala (not sure of the spelling, but emphasis on the first A) and Eric are the main two people. Both of them are extremely nice and welcoming. Just call and make an appointment; they really try to work with your schedule.
I got Eric and was extremely satisfied with my haircut; I asked for 5 inches cut off and layers. Typically, when I tell someone to cut a specific length, they usually overestimate, but Eric really took my request seriously and cut exactly what I asked. And just as a reference, my hair is long – just to my lower back. My visit began with a shampoo & conditioner wash as well as a peppermint mask that was massaged in my hair and let set for about 5 minutes. The mask was my favorite, because it felt so refreshing and relaxing, and I could definitely tell a difference to the sheen and softness to my hair at the end. After the haircut, Eric blow-​dried my hair out meticulously, which I appreciated because even after the cut, I still had a lot of it left. I spent a total of 1.5 hours in the salon just talking with him while he did his thing, everything about restaurant recommendations in Savannah, GA all the way to the Vampire Diaries (our slightly shameful guilty pleasure at the moment).
The 2 clients that Atala was working on received gorgeous results. I do remember that one of the ladies was African American and asked for a keratin treatment, although I am not sure what else she was receiving. Anyhow, her hair was fabulous! So all in all, I would highly recommend TES. You’ll love Eric and the look you asked for.
