Carter Barnes On Paces

I wanted my daughter’s first real haircut with shampoo & blow dry to be special. I called Carter Barnes where I went for years and asked for a quote on a child’s haircut and the lady on the phone said that will be $ 30. I said OK, great!!! What does that include? She said shampoo, cut & blow dry… awesome! We made an appointment and while the stylist did a great job, they charged me $ 45 plus tip of course… I explained that I was quoted $ 30 on the phone and she said «Awe, I am sorry» … I said so you will not honor what they told me? She said «Awe, I am sorry… so am I… we will never go back. That’s called bait & switch…

My stylist Brianna is truly a hair artist. She turned my hill billy looking hair into beautiful swingy sorority girl hair.
Haircut:
I had long hair down to the middle of my back with no style. It was pretty awful. I came in Saturday and gave her a vague idea of what I want. Long layers, not choppy, kinda U kinda V shaped in back, keep it below the shoulders. Boom. She gave me exactly what I was picturing in my head. Beautiful swingy hair with layers that flowed and didn’t look like a shelf.
Everyone at work has been oohing and awwing about my hair. I did the big test when you actually do your hair yourself after you wash it. Still looks good!
Yay! It’s been at least 10 years since my hair dress left me (he moved jerk!). I am so happy to have finally found a great hair dresser! I hope we have a long relationship together!
Salon:
The girl at the reception desk was super nice. Made me feel very welcome.
Con:
Not a big fan of the $ 45 to blow out my hair. Would rather just pay straight up $ 90 for a haircut.

Yolanda did my hair and did a wonderful job! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I had to go back a second time to get the balayage done through the ends of my hair. It only took to the top because my hair was so long.
Yolanda did learn from the first time though, and did a different technique the second time and free of charge to get the results I wanted. I also did the olaplex treatment to help my hair not get so damaged during the coloring process, it was great! This is one of the FEW (very few just to be clear) salons where you can buy the 3^rd product of the olaplex to maintain the results.
I Would highly recommend here based on the experience I had. I believe many of the stylists have different expertise so let them know when you make the appointment and I’m sure they’ll get you to the right person. Did I mention the retail area has higher end products that other salons don’t offer in addition to ones other salons do

YOLANDA NAILED IT. Great mens haircut from Long (shoulder length) to short/​professional and attractive. Exceptional service, friendly and clean. This was my first visit but I will def. be back!

I have been going to Carter Barnes for 30+years. I have also been to Paris, Amsterdam and other great places to do their hair shows as their model. They not
only cut and style your hair, but also show you how to maintain it! My stylist is Lisa,
who is always ready to turn it up a notch! Her styles are always clean and modern!
She is always ready for change! I always feel like a new person when I leave there.
The whole salon staff is always friendly and eager to please!

Mitchell, one of the owners, has been my stylist for 20+ years. I was unable to visit the salon for about 7 mo. On my return I was welcomed w/​open arms not just as a client but as a friend. I have had long hair/​short bob & in recent years a pixie. Mitchell is the ONLY one who knows how to make my hair look its best, including my color !
Rachel & Stephanie, his assistants are wonderful. Everyone is very professional there. The price reflects the talent & the area.

Finding a new hairdresser is very scary especially when it comes to color. Saw an acquaintance who had a great hair cut and color — she recommended Carter Barnes. My stylist is Lisa. She does a great job with color and crisp cuts. Her assistant AJ is a gem. Pricy but worth it. I only get cut and color. Blow dry charge is a bit much if you are not going anywhere special afterwards. They have a station downstairs with products, dryers, irons, etc. I highly recommend it.

I have been going here ever since I moved to Atlanta. They have had some issues with an unprofessional front of the house staff and still do on some days but overall they are polite and friendly. I would highly recommend Amy for a men’s haircut. I have only not gone to her when she was fully booked.
The only slight downside is with this location the only parking option is valet but it’s complimentary.

I enjoyed yet another visit to Carter Barnes on my visit to Atlanta!!! I have had the privilege on each visit to get a great style with a professional stylist! Julian was in charge of my tresses today and what a treat!!! Will always be a patron…

This review is for Mojgen and her fabulous waxing skills! Mojgen has become a dear friend of mine and she has been waxing my eyebrows as long as I can remember. I recently moved to DC but am so scared to try anywhere else since Mojgen does such a good job. Whenever I come home she is my first stop!
