Vivid

I’ve been seeing Luke Born, (now) at Vivid for four years. I always love my hair after, (and I’m extremely, extremely picky), and he is always an absolute delight throughout. The other staff members, Gwen (amazing cuts), Katie, Cyrus, Stephanie, etc etc, are all great. It’s the best salon in Atlanta. Its location is cozy and cool, and its staff is superb.

I have been looking for a salon close to home and I have been scanning Unilocal for weeks looking for the right one. Vivid kept jumping out to me and so I made an appointment with Senior Stylist Cyrus for a color correction consultation. He was knowledgeable about not only the damage that had been done to my hair, just by looking at it, and how to make my hair healthy again. He also was very up front and honest about what my hair needed and how much it was going to cost. He was real, honest and an absolute delight. It’s always nerve wracking when going to a new stylist but I whole heartedly trust him with my hair the moment he described my situation. Thank you Cyrus!

This was my first visit to Vivid and good fortune was smiling upon me that day as I was lucky to have Cyrus as my stylist! As soon as I sat down in his chair, Cyrus asked me some questions about what I was looking for and what kind of style would work well for me (I’m low maintenance and need something that takes me no more than 10 minutes of primping in the morning). He took time to touch my hair so he could feel the thickness and texture of my hair before beginning to work his magic. When he was done, my much-​loathed politician’s wife hairdo (a helmet-​looking-​triangular-​shaped bob) was transformed into a radiant, stylish, TAME, and low-​maintenance modern bob. This is the best haircut that I have had in at least a decade!!! My difficult and thick Asian hair has been tamed by a true hair master!! Thank you, Cyrus!

Had such an amazing experience with Mandi! The stylists here are awesome and very passionate about what they do. Happy I found my new salon!

Great location. Nice atmosphere. Nice stylists. Mediocre haircut. Might try them again.

So my first time coming here was on a Sunday. I had never met my stylist before, nor did I know anyone that went here. I simply went off of Unilocal Reviews only. My appointment was super easy to make.
Upon arriving I was given a tour of the place and handed a glass of wine (I asked for it). Parking was very nice, they have multiple parking lots behind, in front of and to the side of the building, which is hard to come by in the city.
Mandi was my stylist. She came and introduced herself to me and then we got started with my hair. I showed her pictures and told her exactly what I wanted and she totally understood me and got what I wanted.
They sale Redkin and Pureology lines, but they weren’t pushy about it. I went on a Sunday and it was perfect because they weren’t super crowded!
I originally wanted highlights that looked sunkissed, nothing too dramatic and ended up going with an ombré instead. The pictures I liked happened to be an ombré and Mandi’s expertise helped me to decide on it as well. I have naturally curly hair, which can be hard to color, cut, comb, all of the above so I wore it straight to the appointment and Mandi did a fantastic job coloring it and straightening it back out. I kept my roots the same and did a Carmel color on the ends of my hair.
I left loving my hair!!! Mandi was super personable and understanding of what I wanted. I will be back in 8 weeks for a touch up!

I originally tried this salon out because of the great reviews on Unilocal.I’ve been going to Vivid for about 6 months now and I loveee it! Stephanie is my girl — she does a killer balayage and always takes the time to listen to what I wanting, but is always making wonderful suggestions to make my hair look its best. Have been referring her and the salon to all of my friends and they love her just as much!

Pretty much the best hair experience I’ve ever had. I just moved to Atlanta like three months ago. And have been putting off getting my haircut for over like two months. Because i had the same hair dresser in Chicago for 7 years (who I loved. Sent all my friends to they all loved) so essentially I was so scared to start over. I went into vivid and Cyrus was a god send. First off. I wanted a long bob. And thankfully he was like «girl slow down we just met» he literally read my mind. (Makes so much sense as he had never cut my hair before and that would have been like 8 inches off of it) Asked me questions about what I wanted. Dug deeper so he could really understand what I wanted. (Color wise) He also does an amazing eyebrow wax.
Long story short. I have found my new salon. Thanks Cyrus!

Really enjoyed my first visit to Vivid. The mini-​tour and offer of coffee in the morning was much appreciated. Matthew did a wonderful job on my cut, style, and offered great tips on how to style my hair for the future. Normally I am skeptical leaving a salon after a hair cut, knowing I won’t be able to style it as well the next day. But the following day after my normal wash/​blowdry routine, my hair still looks great. Thanks Matthew and Vivid!

Let me just say that I was so hesitant on finding the right place to get a haircut, but Vivid Salon was definitely a must go to hair salon hands down. Christian is amazing and I love my haircut so much. She was so friendly and welcoming. Showed her how I wanted my haircut and she did exactly what I wanted and then some. I love my haircut and get so many compliments. Thank you so much Vivid salon for an amazing customer service and Christian for being a great hair stylist !

I went in for my second appointment today with the lovely Julianne. Both times she has been very honest about what my hair needs, given me absolutely fantastic cuts, and has been wonderful to chat with. The salon itself is fun, nicely set up, and has a great staff!

First, the environment of the salon is very comfortable and inviting. Not overly pretentious, very warm and soothing, just relaxing.
I am new to the area, and had to leave my long time stylist at my previous address. Finding a new stylist can be a frightening thing, because I really like to leave my hair up to someone else’s knowledgeable hands. Trusting the person holding shears to your head can take a lot of intestinal fortitude, and I was not let down!
My appointment was with Julianne, and she was fantastic! We got started earlier than my scheduled appointment, which I really appreciated, and she was finished working her magic faster than I expected as well! She listened to my needs, and delivered an artists’ perspective of what I had described. During my visit I received a cut, color and eyebrow waxing.
Another Unilocaler made a comment about the cost of this salon, something about «soul left my body when they mentioned my total,» and I have to admit, it is on the pricier side. I will say, however, that the visit was worth the cost. My hair is an outward expression of myself that I wouldn’t leave in a novice’s hands, so I can’t imagine paying 7.99 for a quickie cut and being as pleased with the turnout. I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for; I paid for ecstatic, and I got it!

I just recently broke up with my hair sylist. Not because we weren’t compatible, but because she decided to become a grown up and have a baby. There wasn’t enough time for me and my hair :(
Luckily enough, I came across this place through word of mouth. One of my wonderful friends, Erica A., has a friend that works at this salon, Christian. I saw a picture of Erica’s recent haircut on her Instagram and it peaked my interest. I did a little stalking of Christian’s Instagram account and loved her cuts and coloring. I’ve been wanted to ombré/​balayage my hair for awhile now but never had the courage to finally go through with it.
Picked Erica’s brain for a bit and finally made an appointment with Christian, cut and balayage coloring.
I parked in the lot in the back and walked inside. The place was very clean, smelled great and I was greeted immediately. The receptionist gave me a welcome packet, had some coupons for future visits and one I could use that day. She showed me the salon and where I could get a smock to wear. I was offered a beverage and was told Christian would be with me in a minute. I changed into my smock and sat down with my water and waited.
Waited less than 5 mins, when a beautiful lilac/​lavender head of hair happily walked my way. Christian greeted me and walked me over to her chair. She consulted with me for a bit, we talked about previous cut and colors and what my future plans and current plans were for my hair. She asked about current products and the regiment I do everyday. Lots of questions, which made me happy, it was like a first date with my hair (her words, lol)
We started with the coloring and she promised to get me as light as possible. I was foiled and saran wrapped. After the toner and washing, the color was amazing! She told me to try it out a few weeks and let her know if I wanted to go lighter. I love my hair. I’m already thinking of other colors to try next time!
She blew out my hair and cut it. She fixed the monstrosity of my previous hair cut and gave me bangs, I always feel like my forehead is naked without them.
She explained all the products she was using in my hair and let me know to keep the products to a minimum, weighs down the hair. She emphasized a heat protection spray! Christian never pushed but let me know to keep away from anything with sulfates, as they would aid in stripping the color faster.
I left here with amazing hair and I haven’t felt that in awhile. Thank you Christian. I’ve found my forever hair home, please don’t leave!

I have been coming here for almost a year now. I have been doing new things with my hair, so I needed to find more that someone to cut it. I have been working with Christian this entire time and she has been wonderful. She has gone above and beyond your typical stylist. She has continued to work with me to help develop my new look as well as guided me to the right way to maintain it.
The atmosphere is very relaxing and beverages are provided while you wait. I would recommend Vivid to anyone and have. Someone I recommend to Vivid (specifically to Christian) was singing praises after his first appointment.
With the cost of a standard male hair cut continually increasing at the local barbers and chain shops, I really recommending paying just a little bit more for a more personal touch. It is worth it when you continuously feel invited in and not just a number in line.

Salon experiences don’t get any better than Vivid! This place has everything you could want without any of the stuffy or pretentious encounters I’ve had at other high end salons. I love their text reminders of upcoming appointments and every time I’m warmly greeted by the front desk (with a complimentary alcoholic drink to boot!). I always see my favorite stylist Christian at Vivid, who is super friendly and helpful whenever I consider changing something with my hair. I’ve also noticed and appreciate how involved I feel with my hairstyling experience each time because of the way she explains styles and techniques with me without going over my head! (Pun intended, y’all.) You definitely can’t go wrong with anyone at Vivid, but I have to recommend Christian for an amazing appointment every time!

I’m NEVER disappointed when I come here. From top to bottom, this place exceeds my expectations and standards for any hair salon, every single time. It is an amazing place to go for anything you need done!
As soon as you walk in the door, you are greeted by a friendly and happy person. Being acknowledged anywhere is always a good feeling, especially when you are entrusting these people with your precious hair.
I always see my girl, Christian. She is friendly, honest, open, and creative. She is never pushy, but will always give suggestions and work with me with what I want to do. She is brilliant and I recommend her to everyone I talk to. In fact, my brother’s sister now goes to her on the regular!
Their prices are typical of any other high-​end salon and always use Redken products, so, gotta love that! They also give their customers some special perks and discounts from time to time.

I have been going seasonally to this salon for a couple of years. It has an amazing ambience. The inside has very warm lighting and friendly people. Each of the stylists is super focused on you and makes you feel comfortable and it’s easy to make an appointment either over the phone or online.
I get my hair done by Amanda, and she is awesome, and really good at listening to what I want.
They provide complimentary bang trims which is a huge plus. AND they’ll do locks of love for you, which makes that so much easier.
It is also a great location. They are hugely invested in their customer base, providing significant discounts for referrals and first-​time buyers of products they sell.

Cyrus is simply AMAZING!
I have been looking for a new salon and stylist. I saw the great reviews for Vivid (and for Cyrus) on Unilocal and decided to give it a try.
I was certainly not disappointed! Completely second all of the great reviews. This is the happiest I’ve been with a color and cut in a LONG time. I’m so glad I now have a stylist that I can trust to do a fantastic job!!! Thanks, Cyrus!

I was looking like a shaggy dog and Cyrus fixed my hair. It now bounces and moves freely and he did a wonderful job of teaching me how to best handle my hair. The hours are very accommodating and make it possible for any schedule.
Thank you thank you thank you.

First — great location. Right in the highlands, but plenty of parking. Oh, and they offer you your choice of beverage, including wine, when you come in.
Now the good stuff… I came in after a particularly bad day not even knowing what I wanted. Lindsay took extra time with me to go through swatches and pictures and really get to know my style and my color preference. She picked an amazing blend of color that was just drastic enough to excite me after a bad day, but subtle enough to keep me from freaking out. My cut is PERFECT. With minimal effort on my part, I can style my hair multiple ways (up or down, wavy or straight) and be really happy.
I noticed the day after my cut one small patch of hair that did not take the color. I called and Lindsay got me in the next day. She not only fixed the patch I was not happy with, but she put extra color foils in to enhance what we had already done and did not charge me at all!
The salon is great, the products are exemplary, the atmosphere is awesome. I have nothing bad to say. I HIGHLY recommend Lindsay for her personality and her dedication. I had a great time AND Love my hair! How often can you say that after the first time at a salon!!!
