80. That's the number of "likes" that I got when I posted a video of me showing off my new style by the incredimazing Jeff Manzi. Some of you may be scoffing at that number thinking it's child's play. You guys? I don't even KNOW 80 people. It's the most "likes" I've ever gotten. Ex-boyfriends from high school came out of the woodwork to comment on it. The person behind me on a plane (coach mind you, where people are notoriously cranky) tapped me on the shoulder and popped their head into the aisle to ask me about my hair. I went back to work last week and former students, new students, parents, teacher friends, my administration all complimented me on the fabulousness that is my hair. I really wanted to cut it all off - a "choppy bob" length. Jeff nodded knowingly and I felt completely at ease. Ladies can get anxious prior to losing a lot of length - not me, because I completely trust Jeff. "Chop it off! Chop it alllll off!" (It was particularly muggy that day). He laughed and said in due time. My shampooing was particularly luxurious. And the cut came and I looked up and I could cry I was so pleased. That evening I played with it and bounced it around and took my hair cut out. Oohs and aaahs ensued from friends and enemies alike. What can I say? The man is magic. He offers everything you could possibly want (the following list is not exhaustive): choppy bobs, funky colors (and normal ones too), extensions, aggressive bangs, comraderie and the desire to make you look as good and feel as awesome as possible. Make an appointment. You won't ever for one second regret it. read more

I have natural blonde hair and am very particular about not having brassiness in it. I moved to the Atlanta area over 3 years ago and tried SEVERAL different hair stylists. None of them seemed to "get" blonde hair. Eventually I gave up on getting highlights all together, since they seemed to be a waste of money Finally a friend (with naturally blonde hair as well) recommended Steven Fairchild and I LOVE HIM! He is naturally wonderful at what he does, and every time I walk out of the salon after he does my hair, I feel fabulous and get so many compliments. He's always giving me tips on how to care for it, and I'm so comfortable with his judgment and expertise. my highlights, lowlights and haircut always look great! He always listens to what I want, and gives me an honest opinion and the pros and cons of my ideas. As long as Steven Fairchild works in Atlanta, no one else will ever touch my hair! My only regret is that I didn't find him as soon as I came down to Georgia. He is worth every penny. read more

Where Devy goes, I shall follow...she has moved to a new home folks! She has been cutting my hair for over 10+ years now and through hell or high-water, I will go to her. She listens carefully to your needs and has a great eye to match your cut to your face shape. My hair is shedding like cray after the birth of my daughter and me freaking out, text her for a last minute appointment which she happily checked for me and got back in the time that she said that she would. She's a wonderful person who is a talented hairstylist and friend. The parking lot is awful and small...doesn't help if the cars parked is not within lanes. read more

Alyson Molina: best colorist EVER. I would follow her anywhere! Can't wait to become a regular at Blonde with her. For someone who gets color every 6 weeks- I'm grateful to this lady for being so meticulous and good at what she does. read more

I think my quality of life has improved a few notches since seeing Devy Barnes. I trust her wholly to cut, color and style my hair into anything she recommends and I always love the result. I have thick hair which I keep short, and I like to change styles or color every few months. But I like a stylist who will give me ideas and keep it creative. Since I moved to Atlanta I have been seeing Devy Barnes and I know she will always have the right idea. She perfectly crafts a look that matches both my personality and my face, guides me strongly in all decisions and spends time before and after the cut sending me cut and color ideas and checking in. Everything she does is extremely high quality, every detail is accounted for and the cuts last. I have moved a fair amount in my life and finding a new stylist is always a challenge: rarely have I found one I admire and trust as much as I do Devy. read more

I can say from personal experience that Steven is the most talented and accommodating stylist/ colorist I have ever gone to. I have been a client of Stevens for almost 5 years, he took my hair from black to chocolate brown, and it has never been healthier. Time and time again Steven goes above and beyond for his clients. He is truly amazing at what he does. read more

It was a hot and humid night. The bartender, whose curly hair seemed a lot like mine--but somehow looked great, while mine was a frizzy mess--gave me her stylist's name: Katie at Blonde. Just like that, I had a new stylist before I'd even finished moving here. That was close to two years ago, and very selfishly, I hope Katie will never leave. I've never had any trouble getting an appointment and have rarely waited long enough to even sit down in the reception area (max about 5 minutes). Normally I'm offered a nice cup of coffee and off we go with a much-needed trim. There's no waiting around after the shampoo, either. I have a head full of long, cowlick-ridden hair and am not the type to take a lot of time styling it, but somehow Katie does a "roll out of bed looking great" cut that keeps looking great as it grows out, whether I wear it curly or straighten it. I've seen other clients leave looking very happy with fancier styles and lovely colors, too. She's always willing to make an adjustment if needed (rarely) and do a bang trim between appointments. Being low-maintenance, I'm not exactly a gold mine for any stylist, but I appreciate the graciousness with which I'm always treated at Blonde, and that Katie somehow remembers our conversations as if they happened last week. So, on the big things: 5 stars, on the little things: 5 stars. The only thing that could make my experience better is perhaps moving the salon to East Atlanta. read more

I had an appointment with Steven Fairchild today, 19 Feb 2015 @4p. I sent him a text several hours earlier that I might need to reschedule. Shortly after, I sent another text that I had another option and that I would try to make the 4p and TO NOT GIVE UP MY 4p appointment. I received a text from Steven around 3:20p that he had given my 4p appointment to another client that was on his waiting list. I had already rearranged my afternoon work schedule to make the 4p appointment. It is poor business practice on his part. You would think he would have contacted me (or any client) first to confirm whether or not I would make the appointment versus him just taking it upon himself to cancel it. read more

My Stylist moved again!!! Attention People!! Jeff Manzi has moved salons! I really like his new location! The parking is better (so much closer), the layout is better, he is happier! And a happy stylist cuts happy hair! Who's my stylist? Jeffrey Joseph Manzi, that's who! I have followed him from Vis a Vis to Dragonfly and now to Blonde. He has moved back to Buckhead, but it's not THAT part of Buckhead, so it's okay. Jeff is the only person to have cut my hair in the past 8 years... except for this one time, I wanted bangs before my high school reunion... he was right... it was a bad idea... and I was wrong to go elsewhere. Dammit. He colors, he cuts, he does highlights and extensions... But let's talk about the cut he just gave me... I had my head shaved for charity when I was in Antarctica.... Yeah... that is a completely true sentence. We had to wait for some grow out... and now. F A B U L O U S!! It's going to be super short for awhile, but now it has shape and a little bit of movement and it's the best it can look. And that is what he does. He gives you the best you possible hair wise. And the grow out always looks great... no matter how long you wait between cuts... (and Jeff knows I might wait longer than I should). I love him. You will love him too! read more

Devy Barnes is my favorite hairstylist in Atlanta. Her haircuts are fantastic, she is super customer service focused, and she is a pleasure to talk to. If you're looking for a great haircut, look no further.. Devy is your girl! Whether your a woman or a man, she does an awesome job. read more

I have been very pleased with all of my visits to see Ken for the express keratin treatments. He is very reasonably priced and the straightening treatment lasts just as long as the full keratin treatments I've had elsewhere. He also does great highlights for blondes! read more

Ken Garrison is the best! He's been coloring and cutting my hair for over a year now. After trying other hairstylist I couldn't find anyone to color my hair the color I wanted, but Ken colored my hair the exact color I wanted. read more

Steven Fairchild does the most amazing blonde highlights. I have have tried colorists all over Atlanta and San Francisco and Steven is by far the best. My color is so natural looking and lasts forever. He is always on time and accommodating with my schedule. read more

Bradley Boone is so talented and always knows what to do with my difficult hair. The best in Atlanta.

I moved to Atlanta 3 years ago and I had an extremely hard time finding a hair stylist who could do quality blonde highlights. I tried many of the top salons in Buckhead and was SO disappointed (to the point where I would fly back to my old colorist in Miami just to get my hair done) until I met Steven Fairchild. He is absolutely amazing and not only is he so talented, but he goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients are taken care of. I work long hours for my job, and he is always really accommodating in scheduling appointments. I am VERY picky when it comes to my color and he always does a great job! Steven is the best in Atlanta, I am so grateful that I found him, and I will never go to anyone else!! read more

Beware of Zev. I brought 3 or 4 pictures of shoulder-length or just below the shoulder bobs and he ignored them all, making me look like Florence Henderson put her finger in a socket. Worst haircut I have ever had - and it took 6 months to grow out. read more

I have been seeing Alyson Molina for over five years, and have now followed her to Blonde. Alyson does meticulous, fabulous, natural (if that's what you want!) color--perfectly blended highlights, not too golden, not too cool, and placed just right. Not only is she a color magician, she is genuinely a nice person as well, so time at the salon flies by! I have to also give a shout out to Lindsey, who does amazing blowouts, and Kristen for her cuts/styling fabulousness! read more

If you're having hair problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my hair ain't one--thanks to Jeff Manzi at Blonde Salon. A good stylist is like a soulmate. Once you find someone who knows and understands your hair, your goals, your style, and your lifestyle, you should never let them go. Jeff is my person. I followed him to Blonde Salon and absolutely love the location. No matter what time of day I've been there, I'm always able to navigate traffic easily and there's always a parking space for me. But enough about the location (which is super convenient!) and back to Jeff-- He is phenomenal! He is truly a multi-talented stylist who can do it all. In one visit I got color with balyage and a keratin treatment. I always leave feeling amazing, get tons of compliments and can't stop taking selfies in the car. If you're looking to step up your hair game, go and see Jeff Manzi. You won't be disappointed! read more

See all

Ken is the absolute best!! Adore him and the studio.

Jeff Manzi hands down the best cut in Atlanta... I have long straight hair and he gives me perfect body and shape so my hair doesn't lay flat on my head like a mop. I always get complements on my hair and its 100% due to this man!!!! I have been going to him for 5-6 years now and have followed him from another salon! I let no one else cut my hair... Because one time I did... And I shouldn't have. read more
