Ana’s Dominican Salon

I come here often and some of the other reviews leave a lot out. Like how for $ 45 you get a wash, set, deep conditioner and if you get body or straight a solid week later you still have the just left the salon look.
This place is walk ins only and open on Sundays which is perfect for me. This isn’t a big location and it is connected to a shell gas station. You should expect to wait 30 mins maybe 45 on a extra busy day to get started.
Some reviews said the show is slow but actually they are fast just always busy. There wouldn’t be a line of people waiting outside daily for the 10am opening time if they weren’t good.
Great for a wash and set, adding color. For the basics this can’t be beat.

Slow, but good.
I’m here almost every week. When I first started looking for a Dom salon close to my house I was unimpressed with ALL the Mableton/​Austell Dom salons. Why? Because I was used to the Dom salons in the Norcross area that charge $ 25 and can make your NATURAL hair curly or straight WITHOUT flat irons.
Fast forward 2 years and a baby, I no longer have time to make the hike to Norcross so I’ve grown to appreciate the «neighborhood» Dominican shop. I really wished they were faster, but since they are so close, I can go during off days/​hours (weekdays during the day or Wed/​Thur evenings around 5pm).
All in all, I do recommend this place if you live close. I’ve been to several in South Cobb and like this salon the best.
PROS:
— really nice ladies who work in the salon (Dona, Jamie and Claudia)
— they never complain or charge extra when I come in with a braid-​out
— decent prices $ 35 (free conditioner on Tues/​Wed) for natural wash, blow, flat iron
— FREE wi-​fi (makes me really happy)
— credit cards accepted
CONS:
— SLOW
— Small shop

I will not be coming here anytime soon. At least not until my son gets older. They take entirely too long. I’ve never been to a Dominican salon that is as slow as this one. They do a good job, but I just don’t have the time with a new baby at home. I will definitely come back when I have 3+ hours to give. They also have roaches but since I didn’t come here to eat, I’m good with that… I guess! Just don’t sit your purse on the floor! hehehe… Anyway the prices are pretty decent. $ 35 for the regular wash/​set. $ 45 w/​deep conditioner.
Gosh, I’ve been here since 10:00a and its almost 1:00p.
update: it’s been over a week and my hair is still straight.

As promised… here is my review!
After being fed up with SUB PAR service from nearby competitor, I luckily found myself in the hands of a wonderfully skilled stylists at Ana’s. Surprisingly enough, there was no cloud of smoke, or burnt hair smell permeating the establishment. I didn’t trip over trimmed split ends nor did I have to wait to surrender my hard-​earned cash.
Ana’s is as close to NY Dominican Salons as you can get in Atlanta South of Jimmy Carter Blvd. I loved how no one cringed when I walked in at 6pm with a head full of NATURAL hair. No whispering or native tongues began flying… just smiles and excellent service.
The woman who washed my hair inspected my roots to ensure all the product was washed out, I was offered a complimentary deep conditioning (which I graciously accepted) and a trim (which I graciously denied). I was washed, deep conditioned, and set all within 45mins.
The blow dry and press process left no kink unkinked.
After a speedy check out process and pleasant conversation with the manager Caesar, I was on my way.
Today at work I got SO MANY compliments. I couldn’t stop shaking my head.
I really like this place and will NEVER go back to that other one I did a review for.

I usually go here when I need a quick wash now I go because I am searching for a stylist who can love and care for hair the PROPER way without all the extra (late for appointments, over booking, unorganized crap that goes with a lot of stylist) so if anyone knows anyone who can give your hair that TLC and still come out like I am going to be on the cover of Essence then let me know– please let it be in the Cobb area.
The blow out procedure they use is ok, but i am a sit under the dryer lover… that direct heat from the blow torch is a bit much for the scalp at times.
Now about Ana’s II I started off at this location, now I am go to the the Rezults location on Veterans where Ana herself works. She has the best personality you could ask for, she pays attention to what you want and delivers. Yet Dominican shops are limited to what they can do. She reaches those limitations and just a little more. If you go ask for the body, wrap it up and days later it will fall perfectly each time… This location is larger than the one on Floyd and so much more comfortable.

I’ve been here a couple of times and I always walk out with my hair just the way I want it and I don’t even have to tell them what I want. I usually always have to go home and restyle my hair, but not when I go to Ana’s. You can walk right it, and it’s best to go in the morning during the week so it’s not as crowded. It takes about 2 – 3 hours to get a blowout that will be silk, straight, and bouncy. I like to ask for body because the curls look cute until they fall out by the end of the day (that’s just my hair), then I have a sleek straight look. The blow dryers are HOT, but I feel that they take pretty good care of the hair. It’s about your average price for a wash and set, $ 35-​$ 40, but being able to walk in whenever I want??? That’s priceless!

mmm okay if your in a pinch like I was… (I suppose from now on I’ll stick to my «regular» place-​YAY Metro.lol.)…I hate to write bad reviews but I just didn’t feel comfortable here. besides the stylist’s baby crying in a stroller right next to where I was getting my hair done, to her husband (?) taking the rollers out of my hair while she washed someones hair. to the prices of everything written on the wall in marker. perhaps I was there on an off day… But when I go to a salon I liked to feel relaxed and valued as a customer. I really didn’t feel that vibe here. They Did a pretty job on my hair (not allot of body though). but didn’t even ask me how I wanted it styled.Verdict. I probably won’t be going back…

Ana’s is the my go to Dominican salon! I went a few months ago to get a touch-​up. They don’t take appointments (most Dominican salons) and I went on a Saturday so of course it was packed, but that was to be expected. My stylist was great, I can’t remember her name though. It took about 4 hours, 3 magazines, and one empanada later. But when I left that salon my hair was beautiful and received lots of compliments, and the price wasn’t bad. I paid $ 60 and that included a touch up, deep conditioning, trim and style.
When they are blowing out your hair they always ask you if you want it «straight or body», go for the body! It lasts for days! :-) This is in my neighborhood so I will be returning time and time again.
