Chris Nicholson Salon & Spa

I have been seeing Renee for the past decade and I would never go anywhere else. I trust her to make the right decision with my hair and never let me do anything I may regret later. At one point I wanted to go red and she talked me down because she knows how anal I am with my hair and how often I wash it. I would have been coming back every couple weeks to get it touched up, which would be great for her but not so great for me. I trust her and so does my entire family.
The salon itself is always very clean and tidy. Hair isn’t left on the floor too long after its cut their stations always are immaculate. I have nothing bad to say about this place in 10 years.

Treat yourself to an appointment at Chris Nicholson Salon in Kennesaw! Jordi is amazing. She cut and colored my hair and I couldn’t be happier. She is super creative and really listens. I will definitely be back.

I am surprised this salon does not have much reviews for the length that this salon has been in the area.
Recently was my first time coming to this salon. After getting repeatedly OK to BAD service at Toni and Guy for 5 yrs, I finally gave up on them and decided to look for a new place.
So, I scheduled an appointment. I was booked with Nikki for cut and highlights. The day of my appointment I was greeted by Nikki, did my consultation. After five minutes I was off getting my service.
My overall experience for my first visit was good and I will be returning!

Two days ago I had my hair «BUTCHERED» at a Supercuts (supposed to be just a trim). I have gone to Heidi at Chris NIcholson many times, but made the mistake of trying to save a few dollars. Heidi not only worked me into her schedule quickly, but took my butchered hair and completely transformed it. Heidi did what a hair stylist is supposed to do, she sent me home feeling absolutely beautiful. I will NEVER «cheat» on Heidi again. She is a miracle worker, plain and simple.

4 months ago I went there for a hair straightening. I was told that it will be a keratin one. Once I go to the saloon the stylist told me keratin won’t work on my hair so he will use a relaxer but assured me it is completely safe.
He put the relaxer and after washing it off told me to not wash my hair for 48 hours although it still smelled like a chemical.
4 months later I am bold on the back of my head and my hair keeps falling like crazy!
I have very thick and curly hair that has never shed a single hair! Now it all looks dead and is falling no matter what $ 40 shampoo and conditioner I use!
The worst place in the wold!
I’m only giving this a 1 star because there is no way to give it less!

Let me give you some background… I only go to salons maybe once or twice a year because of how often stylists screw up my hair. After a few bad experiences at places that charge $ 30-​$ 45 I decided I’d try something different and heard Chris Nicholson was a little more upscale. I figured spending $ 60 at a nice place would insure the stylist was legit.
When I first walked in the receptionist was nice, even asked if I wanted something to drink. I told her I’d like a water since I’d been running around all day doing errands and hadn’t had anything to eat or drink yet. She said sure and left, but she must have forgotten because I sat for 30 minutes waiting and when she returned she sat back down at her desk without a glance in my direction. Finally when Jodie-​or JD-​the «Master» stylist came out to greet me, I spent maybe 2 minutes talking her through the cut I wanted before she rushed me off to the shampoo area. A good stylist typically spends 10 – 25 minutes consulting you on what you want done-​less than that only if it’s very simple or you’re a regular. I even brought several pictures of the haircut, and even walked her through how difficult my hair is to work with. Instead of listening she went straight into parting my hair and started cutting away before making sure she knew exactly what I needed.
I am not a difficult person, I’m polite and funny to be around, and I tip extremely well. (a tip from me is between $ 15-​$ 20 and I’m not a wealthy person by any means) I even went to beauty school to become a stylist myself until I changed professions.
This Jodie/​JD did not spend enough time consulting me and ended up shaving off the back of my hair as if I were getting a buzz cut– she told me she was cleaning up my neck and for some reason continued to the middle of my head, She even cut way too much off the sides with the blending shears after I told her my hair was already too thin.
Great F-​ing job Jodie. I paid $ 75 for a reason to cry in my car over another failed haircut.

This salon is my favorite! Great place, relaxing and five star service! Amanda Santee is my stylist. She def knows all about the hair. If you need cut, color or styling she is the bes! I personally have extensions, so if you need those or wanna try you should talk to her! You will not be disappointed, so give Chris Nicolson Salon a try! Lastly, Tell them you read my comment here or you just never know because I truly go so often I might even be there myself :)

Wow, did this salon save my butt! I called them in a panic to get color done. I had a cut at T&G town center the day before and was scheduled for highlights to be done that day. Because I was late (totally my fault) and because the colorist was taking a week off, they could not do it for a week. Unfortunately, I am headed out of town to work for two months.
Not only did they get me an appointment that day, Heidi did a great job on the highlights. I am in my mid 60s and have decided to enhance the grey rather than cover it as I have been doing for the last few years.
She nailed it! The best blonde highlights I have had. Blends with the grey and dark brown. Perfect for my facial coloring, too.
Also, she explained to me why my newly received haircut was failing. I agreed to let her shape it as long as she did not take off any more length. Since the stylist at T&G took about an inch more than she should have (picture was provided) it was waay too short. She did exactly what she said she would do, and my new style is now manageable. And, while I won’t keep it this short, it looks so much better.
She was very nice, friendly and clearly very good at both cutting and color. She was also very diplomatic about a terrible cut that I had just gotten. (The front sides were not even, the list goes on…)
I am a customer for life. The salon is very chic. There is a spa, also. Prices were in line with a good salon. The products she used were right on target. I bought one of them…
I highly recommend this salon and Heidi. Great customer service.

Very professional and honest staff. Great hospitality and excellent results. I highly recommend this salon. Ask for Niki!

I found this salon with the help of Unilocal – and I wasnt disappointed! I was in town on business, and needed a hair-​emergency fix. Amanda was the magician who worked on my hair – she listened to exactly what I wanted and was very professional. Highly recommend salon and Amanda!

I’ve had mostly positive experiences at this place. The atmosphere is upbeat and modern. The staff are mostly friendly and accommodating. They even offer you a drink while you are waiting! The place is pricey but I don’t think they are outrageous compared to equivalent salons.
I’ve only had my hair cut by Ken and he is awesome – very down to earth and friendly. He also does a great job. I have my eyebrows waxed regularly by Rosanne and she is awesome. I also had a pre-​wedding facial by her – very relaxing and soothing and the results were great. For the eyebrows and facials, you lay on a table and soft music plays in a dimly lit room. You definitely feel pampered.
My only negative experience has been with a stylist named Keri. She did a trial run hair style before my wedding and it was disastrous. I was told that she was «the» updo pro at the place but I was anything but pleased. In fact, getting a hair trial run was the only negative part of my entire «getting ready to get married process.» She is quite snooty and makes you feel as though you should know exactly what you want before you come in. Hello, she’s the professional. Not me. She even used the phrase «It doesn’t matter to me what you do with your hair.» Not something a bride-​to-​be wants to hear. We ran out of time at the end of my appointment because she scheduled another appointment close to mine so another girl had to help finish me up. Definitely money wasted.
