Got my hair done today with Ash. She absolutely nailed it...the color, cut, everything. She listens well. She is gifted and savvy about her craft. She's also just a lovely, genuine person. I felt comfortable the entire time, and I was a little nervous because you never know what you're getting the first time at a new place. (With my color/cut, there's no margin for error...but she didn't need any! Total pro.) Book with Ash, you won't regret it. read more

Maria did an excellent job with my facial and my skin felt really refreshed. It saddens my heart that today this business owner chose to add additional hidden fees. Essentially you're paying twice for services. There's a loss of gratitude for being chosen as a business and instead a sense of entitlement. I was charged an additional 5.10% in fees that are business costs. These additional business fees should be explicitly disclosed to all clients just like your cancellation policy. This process is very distasteful. read more

Deb is the best for facials in Atlanta. Her techniques are so thorough and she is so knowledgeable about skincare. Your skin will be glowing and clear afterwards. I've been getting facials for 18 years and her techniques are top notch. Tip: give yourself some extra time to find parking and to walk through the complex to get to the salon. They are located at the end of this artist co-op complex. read more

Aviary is an absolute sanctuary ! They have such an incredibly sweet and talented staff. Every detail is magical down to the hand soap in the bathroom. I always leave looking and feeling better than I arrived. Highly recommend read more

I'm not exactly the kind of hipster kid who needs the fancy neo-pompadour cut with the slick back look and such. I'm also not very cool like some folks who have really awesome hair and are the lustful idols of other style-savvies. Nope. My hair pretty much does one thing and there's a whole lot of it on top of my big dome. Chalk that up to a gnarly, Nordic-style beard on my face and you've got one funky hair project on your hands. Enter: Jenn Jones of Aviary. (Huge props to my friend and Charlotte stylist, Stephanie, for the recommendation!) Holy wow. First off, this place is super quaint. It looks like it should live inside of Anthropologie....but it's way cooler. It's rather cozy and super hip. Not the kind of hip that makes you want to lose 10lbs either. Jenn already knows you. That's what I like. She doesn't push anything on you or make you feel self-conscious about your dome piece. She asked me what I was looking for or what I normally do and she put her own spin on it. I'm not even sure what you'd coin my cut as, but she did some wonderful new things to it. She added a lot of texture so my crazy double-crown doesn't make my head look like a bunch of trees that just got blown over. She even trimmed my sideburns low enough to taper my beard. Whaaaat?! Now that's a service I've never received. So, after the fact, not only does she have my hair looking nicely shaped, but my face, too? Winner, winner! It's a little more than I'm used to paying, but when you have that kind of service and friendly atmosphere, I'm never going to balk at the price. Getting my haircut is kind of like going shopping for clothes -- I don't tend to look forward to it hardly ever. Buuuuuut, Jenn is one of the few who have made it something to look forward to. Cheers, Aviary, and Jenn! read more

Aviary Beauty and Wellness - Kombucha while you wait. Hell yes. - Day Spas Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Moving to a new city is challenging for a number of reasons. Transferring utilities, changing addresses on all kinds of things, finding a new standby shopping market, locating the best pizza delivery... For me, the biggest hurdle is finding an amazing hairstylist. In the last place I lived, it took me about 4 years to find someone with enough talent and a creative streak who understood my passion for self-expressive hair design. When I found out that we were moving to Atlanta, apprehension was high until my stylist in Charlotte suggested I go see Jenn Jones at Aviary. I instantly followed Jenn on the social media and saw that her style was just exactly what I hoped for. Within 2 weeks of moving, I contacted her and made an appointment. Yesterday, I walked into Aviary. (Imagine the aesthetic of Anthropologie perfectly executed in a salon-type setting.) I met with Jenn and we chatted about our collective vision for my hair. Within an hour, she had provided me an excellent style and I walked out with freshly shorn locks. I'm now the envy of every hipster kid I encounter. Super friendly staff, great location close to where we live, reasonable pricing, perfect environment. Go to Aviary. Have great hair. read more

I can't recommend Ash highly enough - she was kind, professional, and efficient, and from the moment she put shears to my hair I have been feeling SO good about it! I can be pretty hair-illiterate but Ash knew exactly what to do to cut and style my hair to complement my features. Walked out of Aviary feeling so confident & will definitely be returning! read more

My son and I both go to Amy for facials. They are the best in the city! She has helped us both keep our skin clear and has taught us how to maintain our skin with a simple daily regimen. The space is also really beautiful. We love The Aviary!!! read more

Couldn't recommend Aviary enough! It's a true retreat the moment you walk in. I've had 3 facials with Maria and immediately book my next appointment each time! Maria is such a gem- she has a gentle but very thorough approach, it's clear she takes her craft seriously. You're in wonderful hands I've suffered from serious adult acne and over the last three months I've watched my skin begin to really rebuild itself, I owe a lot of that to Aviary! I look forward to my monthly self care moment and couldn't be happier that I found this spot. Not to mention they are the least pushy or sales-y bunch, it's clear they have their clients best interest in mind always! read more

I cannot speak more highly of this place and the people that work there. It is truly such a unique and luxurious experience the moment you walk in the doors. I always search high and low for places that provide originality and quality service in Atlanta. - This place exceeds beyond all expectations. Not only are the girls that work there incredibly cool and kind, they are so good at what they do. I'm so addicted to getting facials at Aviary because the results are consistent and SO beautiful! My skin has never ever looked so radiant. Truly a gem in Atlanta!!! I cannot recommend enough! read more

Had a great experience at Aviary getting my hair cut with Ash! My hair desperately needed a refresh after a long long time without a cut. Ash listened to my thoughts around vision and did an incredible job with the cut! I am so happy and feel so refreshed. In addition, Ash educated me on new products and how to use them which is a huge help. Aviary is a great vibe and environment, is well stocked with awesome products, and I can't wait to be back for my next cut with Ash! read more

This place is a gem! I've been coming here for the past couple of years and I'm so glad I found it! Such a great place for facials. Amy and Michele are amazing! read more

Such a blessing to discover Aviary, Amy, and her amazing team! First, I had an oxygen facial and eyebrow/lash tinting with Michelle. Not only was the facial itself a great experience, but my skin, my lashes and my brows looked amazing. Then, a week later, Amy performed microneedling on my face and neck. As I just had the procedure today, I can't report the results yet. But, I can say that Amy was wonderful to work with, extremely communicative, and attentive to my personal needs. Amy took great care in her work and made me feel comfortable and at ease. Lastly, I saw Victoria for a cut and balayage. Victoria did an incredible job and my hair looks fabulous! Finally I have a beautiful blonde color without those dark roots! My hair not only looks gorgeous, but it feels so healthy. Amy, Michelle, and Victoria were all so personable and so helpful. The salon is nestled in the coolest enclave of Midtown. You leave feeling so refreshed and joyful! They carry top of the line products but in no way push them. I've found my wellness team and I couldn't feel happier! ‍ read more

THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU. I missed an appointment and they charged my credit card for the entire service. The management does not care about the customer, only their schedule and their pockets. I was charged $200 for a service they never provided and on top of that I cannot use the $200 gift card that I have for the salon to pay for the missed appointment. That's right, Aviary has $400 of my money for ZERO SERVICE PROVIDED. They are thieves that profit off the misfortune of others. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I had a biologique rechere facial with Michele about six months ago and I'm not exaggerating when I say it changed my life. My entire face looked different (in a good way) for over two weeks. I drank the BR kool-aid for sure and my skin looks better than ever. Michele gave me great advice regarding which products to use. Just had another facial with Michele and it was just as wonderful as the first one. So relaxing. These people really know their stuff. read more

I went back to Aviary for my first facial in about a year, due to COVID. Maria was amazing. Their COVID protocols are top notch, and the service - Hydrafacial Facial - was amazing. Maria went above and beyond after the service to help me round out my skincare routine and recommend a couple new products. Aviary remains my go-to for the best facials in Atlanta. Also highly recommend the Oxygen Facial here! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Do yourself and your skin a favor and see KELLY. I'll admit post facial I was a bit skeptical since my skin was having a ROUGH day...actually a rough few days to be honest. But one week later and I am GLOWING. Everyone keeps asking what foundation I'm wearing and I'm wearing NONE. I have no idea what kind of magic this is but I'm scheduling my work around my appointments now. Thanks Kelly!! read more

I received a gift card to the Aviary for Christmas and decided to use it before my wedding. I went in a few months ago and I have to say, they made a forever client out of me! The staff is obviously very knowledgeable and so friendly, but did not try to sell me on a bunch of products outside of my budget. Rather, they suggested a few options and gave me some samples but did not push anything on me. I ended up ordering two of the products they recommended, and my face has really never felt or looked better. Amy the owner is amazing, my orders are delivered by her and she always offers me a refund or swap if something I ordered is out of stock. You just don't get the knowledge, care, and overall service like this at your typical "salon". read more

I wanted to update my review to say that I recently consulted Deb, who I still see for amazing facials, for a new skincare routine. Deb had never pushed me to buy a single product in all these years, but once I asked for a skincare regimen recommendation she was thoughtful in crafting a price-accessible, easy few steps for me to follow. My skin has improved SO MUCH in just two months and I only wish I had consulted Deb's expert advice sooner! read more

Ash was excellent. Not only was the entire salon super clean and inviting, but the customer service was next level. You can tell they've taken extra precaution with the pandemic and are committed to a comfortable and safe experience. Ash recommended a couple of products, and I left with both. She also took the time to show me how to style my hair, since I'm growing it out and am struggling through the "ugly phase." I feel like a new person after a long overdue haircut and will absolutely be back! Thank you read more

I had an ultrasonic facial with Kelly and it was truly life-changing. My skin feels the best that it's ever felt, and I've had friends (and strangers) stop me to say "Your skin looks so amazing, you're glowing." I usually wear makeup in my day-to-day life, but after this facial - I've had zero reasons to put on make-up, it's truly flawless and naturally beautiful. I will absolutely go back to see Kelly again. The entire spot is beautiful, clean, relaxing, and I recommend it to anyone that likes high end, clean, crisp salon experiences. Not only did I get impeccable service, but Kelly wrote down a skincare plan down for me to follow and told me where to pick up some inexpensive products, as well as the go-to's that will help sustain my facial. That consultation was much needed and very appreciative. Thanks Kelly for your incredible service and for basically making me feel like myself again. I can't wait to come back! read more

I highly recommend this place. I was looking to get a facial and stumbled across this location on Yelp. I booked an appointment via their website with Dee. Since this was my first facial ever, we had a consultation and then determined that the alchemist facial was the best fit. Dee was super nice. She walked me through each step of the facial. We discussed my at home routine and she gave me additional suggestions on what I could do to improve my skin. The facial itself was really relaxing and my skin has been so glowy ever since. I definitely plan on going back. read more

Just moved to Atlanta and I'm so glad I found Rachel at Aviary! She was able to get me in for an appointment fast and also gave me an awesome balayage and cut in record time! Can't wait to come back:) thanks so much Rachel and Cam !! read more

Got the Biologique Recherche Facial here and absolutely loved my visit!! My esthetician Michelle was amazing, she helped revitalize my skin and gave me pointers on what was causing some acne! Definitely recommend, I'll be back again! read more

The other night at Blake's, as I was getting down on the dancefloor, I felt someone touch the back of my head in a loving way. Pretty much, somebody was petting me. I turned around fully expecting a friendly face to only be greeted by a quite attractive stranger, who, when caught in the awkward act could only say "but your hair! It's so bouncy and thick-- I couldn't help it!" Given the circumstances one finds themselves in at Blake's, this didn't seem at all creepy: more charming. So what does this have to do with the Aviary? Well, just that very morning I had my locks did by Sidney of Salon Vagabond. He had shorn off nearly two inches of craptacular ends, leaving me with something a little bit Emma Pillsbury, all parts awesome. For color, he totally listened to my inane rambling and came up with something truly creative with his collection of organic, smell-free dyes. A great haircut, for sure, but here's why I'm sticking with Sidney: -The Aviary is badass: small, friendly, comfortable... kind of like what you'd want your apartment to be like. - Sidney's the kind of guy that makes his clients mixed CDs. In fact, he does just that. And he's got good taste. - Oh, and did I mention he's crazy gorgeous? Yeah, gorgeous enough to mention in a review I know he'll read, thereby making our next encounter slightly awkward. But whatevs, I'm sure he gets it all the time. Yeah, he's that pretty. Then just wait till he gets his talented hands all over you: that's when the magic happens. read more

TLDR; This is the place. Dee is a miracle worker. I came in yesterday with the dull, lifeless (and kind of disheartening) skin I've been dealing with lately. I signed up for the microdermabrasion facial, thinking my skin would get its needed boost and my face could have some sort of fresh start. I laid down and enjoyed the serenity of the cozy room (perfectly heated table included), and Dee went to work. As she slathered my face with the luxurious products, she answered all my nagging questions. How do I have a manageable skin routine and still have a balance in my bank account? What do I use when, and why? So on and so forth. By the time we got to the actual microdermabrasion part I was full of information and assurance that skin improvement is achievable and within reach. Her enthusiasm about skin care actually had me excited about mine, instead of debilitated by the options and information out there. The micro did not hurt at all, it felt like a light scrub...with a cat's tongue. She went over my face with great detail. The wand sloughed off dead skin as I went into full relaxation mode. There was a sauna-esque fan at some point, before my face was covered in a retinol mask. While the retinol mask was on I got a perfectly pressured hand, neck and shoulder massage (!!!!!!). There was more slathering once that came off, and then poof! I was done. My skin is dewy. My skin is radiant (which I definitely never thought was attainable for non-celebrities). AND, I feel empowered. So yeah-- I recommend a visit. read more

Today was my first facial in well over a year and I was really looking forward to it. The facial itself with Michelle was fabulous, and it was the indulgent birthday treat I wanted. That said, I didn't pay to be ingredient-shamed for a moisturizer that my dermatologist recommends and quite frankly I've already ruled out that it irritates or exacerbates my acne over the course of 10 years. I get that some people appreciate it, but I'm not open to being guilted for my retinol and other derm recommended products. A simple, "Are you open to some product recommendations?" would have avoided this entire exchange. And, candidly, vilifying a single ingredient is such a pet peeve of mine and why the "natural" skincare craze has since lost me. Yes, I was actually already well aware that dimethicon is a controversial ingredient, but it's not a problem for me (and I also don't use it daily but that's pretty besides the point.) And then the defensiveness and persistence of the esthetician really sent me over the edge. The girl at the front desk even jumped in! I was so eager to leave. It's pretty clear to me the game here is to shame those of us who use even a single drug store brand product. Honestly, I wish I'd just lied when asked because I should have known from my last visit that would happen. My acne stems from my hormones, not sleeping enough while I'm part of an active pandemic response team, and Cheerios functioning as a major food group while I work 60+ hours every week during said pandemic. But thanks for the facial and getting my blood pressure up during my ONE day off this week. Needless to say I won't be returning. It's very clear I'm not the target clientele. Signed, an epidemiologist. read more

This salon totally calms me down...unlike other salons, it's not a chaotic mess of hair dryers, fluorescent lighting, and hairdresser conversations, but it's a serene sanctuary of an industrial loft space with natural light (especially when the sun is out). Ben & J.J. described the look and feel perfectly- Anthropologie in a salon setting. And as you all know, I love me some Anthropologie hipster vibe. Jenn is a cool cat without being intimidating...she's very laid back and chats with you just enough while working on my hair (perfect balance between too chatty and not talking at all). I feel like I can trust her to do what my hair needs, without me having to micromanage or over-describe. Plenty of free parking so you don't have to worry about parking tickets or walking too far in the rain or humidity and having your salon 'do ruined....I park at the very far end of the Studioplex building. Only negative is that the appointments go fast because Jenn is very popular. But at least I can make appointments over email! read more

After the unexpected loss of my stylist after 10 years of stellar service, I spent the past year wandering around to various salons and shops looking for someone who could once again work some magic with my coarse, wavy hair. As fate would have it, I happened on an introduction to Yelp Atlanta's newest CM Ben and his lovely wife JJ who recently relocated to Atlanta and had been in need of similar services. They referred me to the incomparable Jenn Jones and the crew over at Aviary and for that I am forever grateful. Aviary occupies the farthest corner of the Studioplex complex in the O4W just behind Krog Street near the water tower on Auburn. Furnished with reclaimed wood and other natural accents, you honestly feel like a bird in the best of nests. They are super accommodating with scheduling, genuine in conversation, and simply the best at their craft. Jenn Jones is the epitome of solid customer service. From emails to texts, she'll consult on just about anything you have floating around in your head and give you an honest opinion on where your locks should lie. Recently honored as the best colorist in Atlanta, I've lended myself to her colorful whim with shades of green and blue over the past few visits. Her skills with the blade are second to none as well, and she has given this kid on chemo a shot of confidence he hasn't had in quite some time. Suffice is to say I'm a fan, her clients adore her, and after a couple visits she'll be one of your best friends. read more

I recently got a massage here from Alexis and I would go back in a heartbeat! It was incredible! Price/Atmosphere/Experience: I had a 90 minute massage for $130. It was a gift from my husband and wow was it a great gift! Alexis is very considerate of any special issues. She uses all organic products. She uses cream instead of oil. She tells you everything she uses and makes sure you have no allergies. The massage is done in a very small but cozy room, located within a salon. I thought the salon would be noisy but it wasn't bad. The light music the masseuse played drowned out the other noise. Location/Parking: It's located right by Krog Street Market, so if you want to treat yourself to lunch or tea/coffee before or after, there are plenty of options. There is a parking deck; I paid $4 for parking which was a bummer since you'd think they would validate, but considering the massage was a gift, $4 was a small price to pay! :) read more

Listen folks, here's how it works: If you want to have rockstar hair, get your hair done by a rock star. Literally! Upon turning 25, I decided to finally go through with it: I decided to be a redhead. However, I wasn't about to trust my virgin locks to just any salon-- It had to live up to my strict standards for toxin-free products. After a bit of Googling and Yelping, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Vagabond Salon and their toxin-free and organic hair dyes. I immediately set up a consultation with Jason, where we both bonded over our musical interests as he told me about how he had played a set with his band on the radio station I work at. The hair appointment that followed was even more reassuring: I use a wheelchair to get around, and Jason not only went to great lengths to accomodate my needs, but was also very quick on his feet and willing to try something new. By the end of our 2.5 hour session, I was left with a haircut that had layers in all the right places and mermaid red locks that not only made me feel like a total badass, but also brought my childhood dream of being Ariel that much closer to reality. In the weeks since, I've seen my hair color slowly shift shades and blend in with my natural dark blonde / light brown tones. It now looks so real that a natural redhead classmate recently complimented me on it! A vote of confidence if there ever was one! My only disappointment is that the mermaid red color didn't hold longer, but as that is a concern of many natural (and even non-natural) red hair colors, I'll just have to suck it up and get it re-done in a month or so to start the summer off right. Considering the wonderful service I got at Salon Vagabond with Jason, I don't mind going back one bit! read more

My recent visit at the Aviary was nothing short of amazing. Hospitality and relaxation welcome you from the moment the doors open. I saw DEB (she is fantastic on all fronts) for a facial and I have to say that my skin is looking absolutely radiant. I don't ever remember having such amazing results at any other place in the past. I didn't really ever consider getting regular facials before, but after how great my face is looking, I will definitely be back. read more

I got Balayage highlights from Jenn, and I could not be more pleased with the whole experience. The color and cut were better than what I was expecting. The price is certainly not on the cheap side, but when you have such a refreshing, personal experience with a salon/stylist that exceeds your expectations, it's worth every penny. It was also very easy to book an appointment, and they were on time to take me. The salon decor is hip and cozy. Parking was plentiful (and free). I have found my Atlanta salon and cannot wait for my next appointment! read more

Like a shaggy puppy, I will follow my hairdresser wherever he goes. My super-hot hair artist, Sidney, has set up his own shop at what he calls Salon Vagabond, a part of The Aviary beauty collective at the Studioplex development. The salon space fits Sidney to a "T," emanating urban and bucolic vibes at the same time. The exposed pipes in the ceiling, shabby chic decor and overall city-meets-country aura provide just the atmosphere I need to plop in Sidney's chair and let him have his way with my hair. Sidney is a hairdresser indeed, but I prefer to call him a hair artist. His intense focus on bringing out people's personality via their hair illustrates his dedication to this craft. I have developed a trusting relationship with Sidney, knowing that my tresses are in the absolute best hands. When I'm out and about, at least one person usually comments on my hair cut, which is both edgy and easy to maintain. Plus, Sidney is one of the sexiest men on Earth. read more

Ash is amazing. She makes me love my hair again, and takes her time sharing advice to style it daily. I came in looking for a haircut that adds volume and is low maintenance, and she delivered! read more

I treated myself to a 'The Alchemist' facial plus 'Perk' eye treatment with Maria and the entire experience was wonderful. The way the room was set up made me feel relaxed and I loved the smell of all the products used on my face and eyes. I have sensitive skin but it took well to everything applied. She was super sweet and very helpful with all of the questions I asked along the way. My skin is still glowing! I will be back for another! read more

Let me start with, I'm not a salon kind of gal. I don't wear make-up, I don't go in for scented anything and I am LOATHE to let strangers anywhere near my face and head. I caveat with that because Aviary is the perfect fit for me. The space is cool and comfortable, Jenni has given me the best hair cuts of my life, the sales concept is low pressure, I got the hair cut I asked for (I looked better than the photo I brought), I was made to feel comfortable and Jenni didn't balk at the several hours it took to cut the ton of hair I have from below my shoulders to super short and undercut. TL:DR- if you are salon-phobic like me, this is the place for you. I walked out looking stellar, with the current, edgy, super fun cut I wanted, having purchased the product I needed, feeling relaxed and happy with my whole experience. read more

Nice environment, nice staff, worst haircut of my life. I went in wanting face framing fringe. I specifically said "I've had bangs I do NOT want bangs" yet I ended up with sections well above my eyebrow. Each time I stopped her during the cut to try and save my hair she proceeded to cut it shorter. Also I pointed out the fact I have a cowlick as soon as I sat in the chair. Then 10 minutes later she acted surprised that my hair wasn't behaving and asked "do you have a cowlick?" To fix things she once again cut cut cut far too short for me to even pin back while I wait for it to grow out. Lastly, she had no idea what to do with my naturally curly hair and blow dried it so large I looked like a lion or an extra in an 80's movie. I was mortified and my hair looked super dry and unhealthy. Usually strangers point out how shiny and movie star-esque my hair looks so butchering it this bad was a rare accomplishment. If you have fine, thin, straight hair then this is probably the place for you. But if you have any type of texture you should probably go somewhere else. read more

I recently went to Aviary for the first time and I will definitely be back. I made an appointment with Kevin and he gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. My hair has been played with far too many times by color artists who just don't listen. I can honestly say that I have never been happier with my hair than when I left here. Kevin is talented, professional, and friendly. My streaky yellow highlights are history and now I have rich, beautiful, brown color with natural warmth. read more

I have been a client of the Studioplex Aviary since it's inception. The new Summerhill locale is quite literally the owner, Amy Bransford's vision and experience. Physically the space is stunning. The level of detail in the design can only make one crave their service more! Amy knows me and my skin well and despite not seeing me for a facial in over 2 years it was like falling right back in with a dear friend. Her technique is seamless and smooth and she has such dexterity you barely even feel the level of work you are getting. I should mention I'm 47 so we are doing WORK! For real the space, the energy, the staff, the products. All of it. 5 STAR! Get to Summerhill and see her vision. You won't regret it. read more
