I cannot say enough wonderful things about Allison McTigue Salon! When I first met with Allison, I was seeking both education and honest guidance regarding extensions and overall hair health. During my consultation, she took the time to thoroughly explain what the investment would entail--maintenance, care schedule, and long-term expectations. As someone who travels for work nearly 15 days a month, I was hesitant about my ability to stay committed to the upkeep. Allison's transparency, expertise, and authentic approach gave me the confidence to move forward--and I am so grateful I did. I am beyond happy with the exceptional service, flexibility, and genuine care I have received from Allison and her entire team. Their professionalism and passion truly stand out. I highly recommend AMS for all your hair care and extension needs. You will leave feeling educated, confident, and cared for--never disappointed! read more

After my first appointment, I returned to the salon and the owner was yelling at an employee. It was very uncomfortable and unprofessional. I changed salons after this encounter. I'm updating my earlier review because I didn't want to stand behind a positive review after my second visit. read more

Allison McTigue has completely transformed my hair. I am a longtime client and couldn't be happier with this salon - each stylist is warm, kind, respectful to clients and one another and they are SO talented. They took my fine, thinning, damaged hair and gave me the hair I always dreamed of. Highly recommend! read more

The best service, and the highest quality of hair extensions ever received. They know their business! My husbands reaction was a well-received, "Oh my! Beautiful!" I hadn't had extensions in a couple of decades, and they have improved immensely since with quality of hair and construction. Not for the faint of wallet, but if you need them then they are worth it every penny. Go no where else. Period. read more

Seriously the best decision I've ever made was trusting Elizabeth with my hair. I cannot tell you how natural and how many compliments I get on my hair extensions. My hair finally looks professional. I truly wish I had done this 10 years earlier. Elizabeth is so knowledgeable and such an artist. If you're debating, don't. Just do it and you'll thank me! Best investment to get hair extensions! read more

What an amazing experience, thanks to Devin one heck of a hair stylist. Back in October I went to my partners barber and allowed him to high-light my hair. The end result was tragic, my hair was fried and fallen out by the hand fulls, my heart broke because I felt I was gonna loose most of my hair before it was repaired. Randomly I googled colour specialist and repair and came across a few reviews mentioning this miracle conditioner meant to restore hair back to its natural texture and repair from the inside out, doubtful I made an appointment and I must say it was probably the best 110$ I spent in a while, my hair looks and feels better then it did before I let the barber mess with it. Thanks to everyone who was there to help restore some confidence and bring life back to my hair. They are also kid friendly they took to my son soon as he walked in read more

In July 2020, I initially went in and had my hair brought back to life. Of course I added in extensions for this, but felt like my natural hair was finally growing out. This last time I purchased new hair and went in for a root touch-up and extensions. My hair that had finally grown out was CHOPPED. I paid over 2k & now I'm not able to wear my hair down completely. I asked to keep my color the way it was & was not listened to. I processed way too long (due to overbooking) & the roots look a nightmare. I wouldn't even leave a review if I didn't feel that the site staff were overbooked and rushed, as I understand things happen. However, I'm traumatized all over again and would hate to see anyone in the same scenario. read more

Update: I wish I could say a refund made things right here. I had a consultation done at another place where they confirmed the poor job that was done here. On top Of that, I specifically spoke with Honey about doing color on the day of my appointment at my consultation. At the time of my actual installation appointment, I was told "I know we spoke about color but let's see what it looks like and if you need color at the end". Before honey had even finished putting the extensions in, a client even she admitted she didn't know she had walked in, she was reprimanded in front of me for not saying hi to the client, and then she rushed through finishing the installation, taking all of 2 minutes to trim, and rushing me out the door. I really don't appreciate being accused as a client of things that are wildly untrue and I hope that others will be able to find a better experience than I did. read more

I truly can't thank Allison and Elizabeth enough. Not only did they correct my hair color (way too blonde and sooo brassy), but my poorly executed extensions, which had caused severe bald spots on my scalp and broken ends. They are so thoughtful and gentle and really took the time to care for me and my hair. Absolutely, without a doubt, would recommend them 100 times over! read more

The staff were welcoming and amazing. My first time there enjoyed Michael. Will be going back soon.

I am very grateful I found Allison. She did a color correction on my hair after it was brutally botched and turned orange by a different salon. She was to the point and realistic about how my hair would look and what it could handle in the correction. My hair is one color and a bright beautiful blonde after working with her! I am looking forward to continue working with her to meet long term hair goals and recommend her to all!!! read more

I really have never been so impressed by a salon. The minute I arrived to out the door. They are pure class in service. Also, they turn out some bangin' hair. I highly recommend. We must support small business at this time. read more

Heather Dunbar is my stylist. I've been with her for over 10 years and our relationship is of great importance to me. She knows just what to suggest to give a little extra attitude in the fall or soften me over the summer. Every color and cut leaves me feeling beautiful and refreshed. She is a great listener of my upcoming travels and life events so I am always hair-ready! Heather always knows when to push me just a little outside my comfort zone to give me a little something extra. I never feel pressured to do more than I want to do, but it is so fabulous that she knows me well enough to know when I need a nudge for style. She is ALWAYS right because she is constantly studying the latest trends, color techniques, and face framing ideas. I am a client for as long as she will have me! read more

Had a great experience with Honey - she listened to all of my requests and I love my lived in blonde balayage! read more

I've been a client of Allison's for over 10 years and there's a reason I always come back - she is amazing at what she does!

This is a truly unique salon experience! Allison and her team truly care about the health and beauty of their clients hair. They make you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. Allison is a true hair expert, and after one visit my hair looked healthier and grew faster than it ever did. I had extensions done for my wedding, and they look so natural & beautiful. I really feel blessed to have found this salon. Don't hesitate to make an appointment because it could be life changing! You will walk out with gorgeous hair. read more

I can't say enough good things about this salon. Scott honestly worked miracles with my hair. I had recently tried to go lighter and my hair was a brassy mess. Scott was really thorough and discussed a plan with me before getting started. I showed him my inspiration photo and he explained what steps needed to be taken and exactly how to get there. He did a full highlights and lowlights and my hair honestly has never looked better. I will never go anywhere else! read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Allison and her entire team at Allison McTigue Salon. After moving to Atlanta from LA, I was searching for that boutique salon feel that I got in Beverly Hills. After 2 years of searching, I finally found it! I conveniently made the appointment online and Allison PERSONALLY called me to talk to me about what I wanted. I explained I was going through a divorce and wanted to change my look and life. Her last words before we hung up were "I have to warn you. I only do sexy." Man, was she right! We started with the color-correction. She picked the perfect color to bring out my bright green eyes. Two weeks later we did the extensions which were perfectly matched to my new hair color. I then returned for a gorgeous glaze and blow-out to perfect my new look. It reminds me of the salon in Steel Magnolias where everyone is family and you all share your life, except better because it's conveniently tucked away in Buckhead shopping center away from the Buckhead traffic and chaos. It doesn't end there. Luz is an incredible makeup artist and my brows are PERFECTION. Seriously and she doesn't use wax or threading. Her technique is painless! Painless! Jordan, Allison's assistant is so much fun and under Allison's tutelage has come into her own and knows how to make the client experience exceptional. It is so much fun to go there, but an even better feeling to walk out looking and feeling glamorous and beautiful. As you walk out the door, Allison always says "Welcome to the Family" and you truly feel that you are a part of their special group. If you want an amazing experience and gorgeous, healthy hair - run to Allison McTigue Salon. However, I must warn you - she only does SEXY! read more

Simply Amazing! I wish I could give Devin 10 stars! I went to A/M Salon with a hair color disaster! I looked like a calico cat and had severe damage. I was desperate and when I called, Devin was kind enough to worke me in the same day. I told her that "Anything she could do would be fine and I'd be happy" (my expectations were very low, given the horrible state of my hair). Devin asked me what had happened and what I was trying to achieve. She recommended I start with a "Reconstructive Conditioning Treatment". I've had treatments like this before at other salons and I've never been impressed BUT the treatment she gave me was nothing short of a MIRACLE! It was a $100 reconstructive condition that was worth $1,000. Devin did a color correction and then a cut and I honestly couldn't believe what I saw. Devin, not only fixed my hair color catastrophe - she gave me exactly what I wanted to start with! All I can say is, Devin - - THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! If you need a color correction -- Go see Devin! If you need hair color - Go see Devin and you won't have to deal with a color correction nightmare! Devin at Allison McTigue is a hair magician! read more

I have had pretty bad luck in life finding good salons/stylist. When I move to Atlanta I tried a couple different Aveda salons and had very bad experiences. I have very fine, blonde, medium-length hair and I HATE seeing streaks from too thick of highlights. In spite of asking for the stylist to take only tiny little potions of hair for the highlights they always treat me like I have thick, endless locks and take way too much resulting in 90's-worthy chunks. But not Hannah! Never have I had a more natural looking color job. It's truly incredible. She uses a different technique that doesn't involve foils. I was skeptical at first but I'm now a believer and faithful client of Hannah's! I feel so lucky to have found her. read more

I had worn extensions for many years, and was looking for someone who could move me away from tape in, to the hand tied wefts. This isn't an easy find. However, miraculously, I found Scott Bills at Allison McTigue salon. When I say he's a miracle worker, you'll have to take my word for it because my before pics are far too atrocious to post. But the after??? The after??? You can see below in all it's splendor. Also, this blend is without any highlights to my own hair....this is how great he is at selecting the perfect extensions. The entire experience was perfect, from consultation to installation. Scott is an absolute hair magician!!! read more

She's amazing and so glad she had an opening. She nailed it! Found my Atlanta hairdresser for life!!

I tried this place as an alternative because my normal hairdresser had to stop seeing clients for personal health reasons and this salon had great reviews. I was desperate to get my roots done and they were able to make an appointment for me the same week I called so I was very excited and optimistic about my appointment. I waited a few days to post because I was extremely frustrated when I left and cried on my way home. It's been a few days and I've washed an styled my hair as usual and I'm still not happy with the way my hair looks. I'm mostly upset that my bangs are uneven so I've been having to pin them back until I get it fixed somewhere else. My haircut is also really uneven, one side sits on my shoulders and the other doesn't even touch my shoulder, which is not what I was expecting or wanted. For how much I paid I'm extremely disappointed. I'd like to give less stars but I'm giving 3 because I did not have the best experience and maybe it was just a bad day for the stylists. Honestly, I probably will not be returning. read more

I needed a hair cut badly. I moved to the area a little over a year ago, and I couldn't find anyone to cut my mane. My hair is kinda crazy. It's broken the very expensive scissors of another stylist and has been compared to 20 gauge wire. I went to Groupon. This was my first Groupon, and while browsing deals, I was also looking at Yelp reviews in tandem. Many reviews for different salons said that some salons charged the individual more once the Groupon services were rendered, so I was apprehensive. When I came across the Allison McTigue Salon, the small print stated there might be an additional charge for additional product use. I called and spoke with Allison directly to find out what this meant. She said an upcharge would only be for excessive additional product and it would be no more than $10 extra. So a bit the bullet and bought the Groupon. In spite of my aggressively think and wild hair, I was not charged anything additional. I had to wait about 3 weeks to get an appointment with Heather because I could only do Saturdays and it's a 45 minute drive, since I'm from a suburb of Atlanta. Let me say that it was worth the money, it was worth the drive, it would have been worth it if I had paid full price. I was hesitant since there were only two reviews on here, but I'm so glad I went. I went in looking like a feral animal. I left looking like an (overweight) Victoria Secret model. It had been over two years since my last cut, and I think I cut that one myself. (I'm not very good about spending time or money on myself.) I showed Heather a few photos of what I wanted--layers and a bit of framing around my face. I also explained how I probably would be styling it. I explained that I needed an age-appropriate style. She gave me a beautiful cut that I could style myself from home. I couldn't be happier. The salon is small. There are two stations for cutting and styling hair and one for washing. There were three women working in there at the time and only myself and one other customer. It is evident from the size that each customer will get the individualized attention that he or she needs. Heather took some before and after pictures that I will post a little later. From my experience, I recommend Heather. I also recommend the salon. I look forward to posting the photos so you can understand that the miracle she worked on my tresses is not at all exaggerated! read more

My daughter and I were going to the Pink concert and booked makeup and hair. Allison was great from first point of contact. Hannah did a fantastic job! Highly recommended!! read more

Wow! This salon is amazing! I first went to see them back in July after I had attempted to dye my hair myself during quarantine, which resulted in my hair being several different shades and looking like a disaster. Allison helped fix my hair and came up with a way to do it in one session! I then went back a week ago because I wanted to be blonder and Scott did an amazing job! He was able to get this amazing color that blends so well with my roots. So impressed with this salon. Allison and Scott both treat hair like art and are great at coming up with creative solutions to meet your maintenance and hair goals. read more

My wife and I have been going to Allison for 4 years. Love her! She's always in a good mood, totally easy to talk to and an amazing listener. She's very consultative when styling, always making appealing recommendations. At this point I dont even say anything anymore. I just walk in, sit down, enjoy myself, pay and leave. I'm totally picky, but not with Allison. She understands her clients, and she earns your trust. If you're looking for a great stylist, look no further. Mens cuts $50. Clean-ups $25. read more

I found Allison, thanks to a Yelp reviewer who mentioned the key words, "great at cutting curly hair." I had been happy with my stylist, but also felt like she was on auto-pilot when it came to my hair cut and color. We had been doing the same thing for years. I knew I was in good hands with Allison when she sat me down and literally looked at my hair almost strand-by-strand and asked me what I wanted to do, then made her own suggestions. I had been having a single process color to cover my gray for three years and it was starting to turn a brassy red, instead of a warm brown. Allison told me, after thoroughly inspecting my hair, that I didn't have that much gray and then suggested that we do "partial highlights" to blend the gray and keep my natural color. WOW! I loved that idea. And by "partial highlights" it really was more a custom blend of color. It's hard to describe just what Allison does, other than you really get a custom cut and color. She really looks at your facial features and finds a way to highlight the best parts of your face. J No one ever wanted to cut bangs for me, because of my curl, but she did in a such a way that it worked. Having bangs took at least five years off my face and drew attention to my eyes. Allison also recommended the use of a water filter in the shower to protect my hair from the chlorine in DeKalb County water. That has also helped with keeping my color a nice warm color, instead of brassy. At the end of my first visit (I've had two now), Allison told me we were going on a journey. That it was a process to get my hair healthy again and highlighting my best features. Well, I saw results immediately with the cut. And on my second visit with my highlights. I can't wait to see what she does next! read more

I moved to Atlanta in 2006 and after a Google Search of "Hairstylists that cut curly hair", I found Allison. (Thank God for smart search engines) 10 years later my natural curls are still healthy and happy. She actually does such a good job that I usually go about 6 months in between cuts and (sometimes) color. I'm actually at the 7 month mark right now and received two compliments last weekend about my hair. I can tell the difference between a cut and color from Allison vs. going to another salon. She is truly an artist that treats you like a friend. read more

I have had extensions many times before and have always been disappointed and frustrated with the results. Hannah H assured me that Allison McTigue Salon does extensions right. She did not disappoint! Not only was the hair high quality, but also stayed in my hair flawlessly. If you are thinking about extensions you absolutely need to come see Hannah H!!! read more

If i could give these ladies more than 5 stars, i would!!! I found this salon after a frantic search for someone to "fix" a truly rotten color job on my hair. No joke...it was BAD! I am not from this area and flew in on business. I was calling around at 6:30pm to find someone to help me. I got a hold of allison on her cell, and she called heather to see if she would stay late at the salon to help me. Heather was willing to stay late for me, and she worked a miracle on my hair. And when i say "miracle", i mean it. Heather knows what she is doing....a true artist and pro. If she could make my disaster look amazing, imagine what she can do with a non disaster!! If i could afford it, i would fly here every month and have her do my hair. If you are looking for talent, skill, honesty, and just plain kindness and customer service....stop looking and just make an appointment. I am thrilled and received many compliments on my hair today! Thank you heather...you are a true professional. And, allison...you went the extra mile and made me very happy! (And...i forgot to take a picture of my awesome hair, but will do so tmrw. You have a client who will come see you whenever i am in atlanta. THANK YOU!!!!! read more
