I have been to Bob Steel on several different occasions. From my different experiences at Bob Steele I feel that, in general, the stylists do not take the necessary time to listen to what each individual client desires. My first experience: My sister had given me a gift certificate for my birthday. I got a hair cut and color (all over color and foils). The end result was just about what I had expected--and she did a decent job. When it came to styling my hair I felt as if the stylist completely ignored my requests. I have very thick and voluminous hair and specifically requested that I like it straight/flattened as much as possible. She curled and poofed it up--I left feeling like a news anchor (from the 80's). As soon as I got to my car I brushed it out. I returned a couple more times to get my hair done. For the price I received average service. Last May my best friend had a stylist from Bob Steele travel to Lake Lanier to do the hair and make up of all those in her wedding party. Cayla (I believe did hair) and Angie (I believe did makeup). The only reason I mention their names is becasue they did a fantastic job at both listening to each individual's requests, suggesting ideas or any changes to the requests (clearly they are more knowlegable about what looks good then us), and executing the job in a professional and timely manner. I was very impressed wtih these two ladies. Cayla has a true gift for doing hair--I could not believe the intricate work that she did--and how quick she executed it. Angie was very friendly and also did a great job. If it were not for the other experiences I had at Bob Steele these two ladies earn 5 stars in my book. Just a last week another girlfriend of mine got married and she was kind enough to bring her entire bridal party into Bob Steele. After having had such an excellent experience with Cayla and Angie I was excited to do it all over again one year later. This was not my experience at all. The women at the front desk were not inviting or warm at all. I am pretty easy going and told my hair stylist I want lots of curls, my hair mostly tied back, with some dangling curls to frame my face, and even some in the back. She literally put all my hair into a pony tail, curled it and did a few twists on the side,--20 minutes + $50 + $Tip + My time later she said "Done! How do you like it" . I replied "It is okay, it is not what I had envisioned at all, I asked you to put some hairs dangling to frame my face". Then she replied "I figured they wont stay that way until the wedding". I left feeling like I had just been robbed--I could have done what she did. Plus it really upset me that she didn't listen to my requests--and basically did what she thought was right without consulting with me before hand...? I don't want to mention her name--I only mention names if I have praises, but I was VERY disappointed by her work. Moving on to the makeup artist. She did a great job, she was very friendly, and listened to everything I said. My only problem was that I have been broken out ever since I left. I normally do not have such hyperactive skin, and I wonder if they clean their products. For the money I think you might be better off at many of the wide array of salons Atlanta has to offer. I would skip Bob Steele. ...Unless you want a fabulous updo with a very talented young lady then contact Cayla you really will be surprised by what she can do. Angie also does a fabulous job with makeup. read more

Moving to a new city has a definite set of inconveniences. It can be difficult to find new doctors and other reliable service providers, including a hair salon. I tried a bunch of hair salons before finding my way to Bob Steele in November '08. Bob Steele has stylists at 8 different price levels, which is budget-friendly and provides "something for everyone." They use/sell Pureology and Redken products. Their online booking system is very user-friendly, but they also have dedicated reservationists if you prefer to book over the phone. I have seen Cathy and most recently, Maeve. They're both great communicators, listeners, and have turned into friends, really. I only get trims, so I can't speak for their other services, but I am always happy when I leave. Cathy is really great (read: precise) with short hair- I did the inverse bob for a couple of years and she always did a good job. I'm growing my hair out now, and Maeve has done layers that leave my hair more effortless. I trust them and feel pretty when I leave the salon, and that's important. I appreciate that they send you an email when your stylist is moving up to the next level (promotion = price increase), but the wording is always sort of odd. I think that they could increase client loyalty (and it would seem more personal) if they offered your next visit at the old rate. Overall, I definitely recommend trying Bob Steele- the stylists are friendly, open-minded, and work hard to make sure that you're happy. read more

For all my life I have been looking all over NJ and NY for a good salon that was affordable too. I never found one until I moved to Atlanta. I've been going here the last 4 years and have been very satisfied with this salon. If you are really on a budget, they offer 7 different price levels for you to pick from. I believe the lower price level stylists are those who are in-training or more "green". For those of you who have bangs you can go in for a free bang trim! read more

I recently found out they let my stylist, Soni, go! (gasp) I'm not going to ding the salon and it's still a good place to go, but I will be taking my business wherever Soni goes. If you're interested in going to Soni, give me a shout and I'm more than happy to give out her contact info! read more

I've been going to this location of Bob Steele for many years. It's located in the Post Riverside complex off of Northside Parkway. Lindsey is my stylist and always does a great job. I usually only get my hair cut about every 9 months or so. I'm pretty low maintenance - no blow drying, no products - so my hair stays relatively healthy in between cuts. Once it gets long enough, it starts getting really heavy so I know it's time to get it cut. I always get it cut to about my shoulders each time. Lindsey knows that I don't blow dry my hair so she cuts it so that it air dries and still looks great. She uses a razor to cut my hair instead of using scissors. It gives it a great feel and looks great while it grows out. You know you have a great hair cut when you get compliments about the hair style months after your hair cut. For my most recent cut, I told her I needed it a little longer since I have to keep putting my hair in a ponytail for my workouts. She gave me a slight swing cut and layered it a little more in the back instead of the front like usual. This means I can put my hair in a ponytail and not have the annoying pieces fall out in the front. Yay! read more

This review is for Taylor Peppers. If you're a wannabe blonde, then Taylor is the girl to turn to! I am a natural brunette who has been blonde for 10 years. I've gone every route of coloring my hair: at home color; one process blonde; one process & highlights; and just highlights. Taylor achieved the color of blonde I wanted on my first appointment with her. For me this rare, it usually akes a stylist a few times to get the color right, not with Taylor. She did a full foil to bring my roots to the level of blonde the rest of my hair is. She was able to get very close to the end of the root and she makes the foils thin & tight together. The finished product looks great! Thanks for making me a blonde Bob Steele! read more

Another successful coif from Ashley Nicole! Inspired by The Royal Wedding, I asked for a haircut in the same style as the new Duchess of Cambridge. Nicole told me this required growing my layers out a bit longer but she would clean up the dead ends allowing the length to grow ala Kate Middleton. It was a great cut (as always) and she styled it just like Kate does (curls at the ends but straight up top). I'm not sure if I'll be able to purl off the curls with the same finesse. However when I left Bob Steele I felt like I was going home to see my handsome prince! read more

Great hairdresser (Brianna) who makes wonderful suggestions & i do not even have to think...I always get compliments on my hair. Good Covid protocol, & to save time they always have helpers who help dry, comb out your hair and assist the stylists! You get a discount for pre-booking & scheduling & scheduling during the week days! read more

This was my first time coming to Bob Steele salon. I had Alaina she was very nice. I got a blow dry and style she made my beach waves look soft & glamorous. We didn't chat a lot, though she seemed very friendly. I found out at the end that I got 20% off as a new client! What I got for $28 was a nice surprise! read more

I just moved to Atlanta four days ago, I swear the drive made my hair grey!! I asked some local friends where they went for their color, both suggested this location. I was unable to make an appointment with the girl they recommended, I was scheduled instead with Dana...who was amazing!! I was scared about having a new person touch my hair, I have been with the same colorist for almost 20 years. Thankfully Dana did not disappoint, she listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. My hair color is rich and textured, looks AMAZING! I will absolutely be back! I also found the prices completely reasonable, especially considering the time Dana took to make me look my best. read more

I had a wonderful experience last night at Bob Steele Salon. I've been going here for about 2.5 years or so, consistently, and have worked with the same stylist throughout that time. Well, last night she had a family emergency and was unable to see me at my appointment time. They called me ahead of time and apologized profusely, then offered me two options; 1) see another stylist or 2) reschedule for a later date when my stylist would be back at the salon. I felt terrible about not seeing my usual stylist, but I scheduled this appointment deliberately before going on vacation next week, so I requested to still be seen. They completely understood and did whatever they could to make me feel comfortable. They worked me in with another stylist at my appt time, even though she had two other clients going at the same time. She made sure to give me her full attention and partnered with my stylist before she left for my regular color formula. Not only did she color, cut, and blow dry, she also showed me how to curl my hair (at my request). The assistant director of the salon swung by to offer her apologies and told me they would honor my booking discount as well as the pricing for the new stylist, which turned out to be lower. I just felt all around taken care of, even though it was not an inconvenience for me, I was mostly worried about my stylist and wanted her to be at home with her family. It makes me happy to visit a salon that not only cares about their customers but obviously also cares for their associates. I will continue to recommend this place to anyone I know looking for a new salon! read more

I have been coming here for 2 years now. My old hair stylist moved out of state so I struggled to find a new one. After a few bad first appointments at various salons I found this place- and Roxy, my hair stylist. Highly recommend.... Two of my coworkers use her too and they both have awesome hair:) read more

I have been going to Bob Steele for years and it's the only salon I recommend. While I have had a few stylists come and go, Sydney has been doing my hair for over a year. I love being able to book my appointment for exactly what I need online. When going in, there are never more people waiting than seats available. I never wait very long and when I do have to wait for more than 5 minutes that has been relayed to me that it will be a minute. My hair is always done exactly how I ask, and the stylists have been very honest with me regarding how my pinterest inspired colors or styles will actually affect my hair based on my hair type. They offer suggestions on products, but are never pushy about buying them. Cannot wait for my next appointment! read more

Fantastic hair cut! I have a TON of thick wavy Italian hair and they totally got what I wanted. I will update when I find the card with the stylists name - it was a man that had been there for awhile and was a top tier stylist - AWESOME. I am really picky when it comes to my hair and equally clueless but he somehow understood what I wanted and exceeded my expectations! Update: stylist - Ben read more

I have been going to Bob Steele Salon for over five years. I have seen Melissa every time. She is fantastic! She listens to what I want for my hair and tells me what will or won't work. The front desk staff is courteous and professional. I moved to Houston in August of 2011 but return to Atlanta frequently. I still get my hair cut at Bob Steele with Melissa. Some would say that the prices are high. Yes, to a point, they are but I will say that the cut overrides that for me. Even when it gets a little long, the cut holds up. read more

I've been back here several times since my first haircut in 2012 and I've always been pleasantly pleased. When I ask for transformative hair cuts, I get them. When I ask for just a trim and touch up, I still get a pretty great hair cut. It's money well spent! read more

Wonderful service, attentive and responsive. Highly trained stylists with access to continuing professional development. All levels of stylists so everyone can find services in their price range. Bright, pleasant surroundings and a full menu of products including Moroccan Oil, Kerastase, Redken, etc. read more

Always love this place. Only issue is that they don't allow the stylists to set their own rates. Rachel got a promotion (yay!) But she was forced to raise her prices because of it, even for long term customers. I'm fortunate to have the means to pay but still a hard $ to swallow for my simple haircut (no color, crazy hard style, etc). Will I keep coming? For sure because I love Rachel!. read more

Absolutely amazing job on my balayage from Hannah. And on the first go from my very dark dyed brown hair. She is my new 'forever hairdresser'. Finally I've found one in my area! She's amazing and so sweet. read more

You get what you pay for. Price is higher but at the same time this salon is so much better than all the other ones I've been to in the area. Meave is awesome! She saved my day after some stupid salon completely ruined my hair. The place is very clean and professional. My stylist did not chat with everyone else or play her phone like most stylists I've seen in other salons. She is polite and very good at what she does. I won't go to any other salon again. This is it! Thank you for the amazing job you did!!! read more

It's pricey, but it's solid and they always give me good results for cut and color. Reservations in advance are totally necessary, and you can book online. It's a little hard to find, but once you know where it is, you're set. read more

I had a great experience when I went here a few months ago. I come from a family of hairdressers so I usually know how to get the look I want to achieve. My request was fairly simple but I knew it would take a while to actually do, as it was tedious (involved a lot of blending between my roots & some damaged bleached ends). Maeve is great! She listened to what I wanted, answered my questions, and advised me about the best way to go about the process. She was diligent and patient (I have a LOT of hair) and did a fantastic job. She was also just great to talk to--I just moved to Atlanta so she told me about some of the cool places I should check out and even wrote them down for me. All in all I had a great experience, and while it wasn't cheap, I'm willing to splurge a little because I don't get my hair done all that often. read more

I first started using Bob Steele Salon when I had a "box hair dye" mishap. I tried to dye my hair bright red when my hair is naturally blonde! Yikes is right! I saw Jo my first time there and she did a fantastic job of getting rid of the red and turning me blonde. A couple years down the road I wanted to see Jo again so she could put more highlights in my hair for the summer but it turns out she had moved! So the girl suggested I see Maeve. I absolutely LOVE her. She is the BEST stylist I have ever had. She knows exactly how I want my hair whether it be color or cut! I completely trust her with my hair. She never fails to make me feel great when I leave. She has lots of great hair tips for keeping healthy looking hair while coloring regularly. Bob Steele also has prices that you cannot beat. Most salon's charge an arm, leg and first born for some highlights but Bob steele is very reasonable. I definitely recommend this salon to anyone who is looking for a budget friendly salon and stylist who KNOWS what they are doing. I definitely recommend Maeve but all the girls seem to do a fantastic job! read more

Never again. Had an appointment for a blowout and style for my daughter for a dance. Received a call 5 minutes before our appointment that our stylist was running way behind could we work with someone else 15 minutes later than our appointment. Having no choice we accepted. Waited an additional 20 minutes and still nothing. Finally a third stylist took her 40 minutes after our original appointment time. Last week I was here for an up-do. Got a call the night before that I was erroneously booked with a stylist who doesn't do those. They gave me another stylist, supposedly higher level. I sent pics of what I was looking for. Arrived for my appointment and had to ask him to change what he was doing twice. Left not thrilled and then my hair fell out an hour into the event. Poor management and communication, average stylists who are over priced for their skill level. Wanted to love it, unfortunately not. read more

I am from Seattle but was getting married in Atlanta. I wasn't able to do a pre-visit for a hair place but decided to give Bob Steele a try based on my sister's diligent Yelping. I am SO glad I did. Not only is it a nice salon but it is different than any other salon I have been to because when I described what we wanted to do, my stylist (DiNara) called in another stylist (Asia) and they worked TOGETHER to make it happen. At one point three different people had their hands in my hair simultaneously! They were super flexible when certain things didn't work and CARED enough to try others. I got a ton of compliments and it was totally reasonably priced. I think it was) $55 for a wash and half updo. High quality at a good price for people who actually care and work together to make sure you are happy. I can't say enough good things! read more

I have been a customer for several years. I have very platinum blonde hair and I only let sheena touch it! Love her! Love the service I receive. Diet Coke. Head massage. Very fair prices. Great products! read more

Not very professional and caring place on their customers. Dana is very unprofessional. I had an appointment with her and she handed me over to another stylist because her next appointment was here without saying sorry or even explaining the situation. I looked up to find a new person doing my hair! Very unprofessional!! read more

No joke, I jump at the chance to recommend Bob Steele to my friends. Maeve O'Reilly is awesome and knows exactly what style and color looks good on me every time, and trust me, I change my hair a lot! Maeve is always up for the challenge. As far as the organization itself goes, I have never called the appointment line and talked to someone that wasn't smiling and cheerful. Good customer service seems to be a thing of the past these days but not with Bob Steele. They even have a 2 week satisfaction guarantee on your style! Jana Pedersen Sandy Springs, GA read more

I got my hair color done and trimming. Gavin highlighted my hair just the perfect. I got people asking me where I got it done. He trimmed my hair just as I asked for. Environment is good, it's neat and tidy. Their location at riverside is also beautiful. read more

Ask for Hannah Hutson - she is fantastic! She is great for blondes looking for long-lasting highlights!

I tried this salon and was hoping it would be a fit for me as the location is convenient. My haircut was ok (nothing remarkable), and I found the entire salon to be chaotic and cramped and not at all relaxing. I'll keep looking for a new salon... read more

I recently went to Bob Steele Salon for the first time, I am pleased with the stylist and the service, it is a great salon with many price points. I had Meghan cut my hair although she cut more than I wanted, she did a fantastic job and I will go back to her. I would have given 5 stars but since too much was cut I made it 4 read more

Amanda Parks didn't do a good job cutting my hair. She cannot even cut men's hair even. After I returned home, I found my hair look horrible. Look at my profile picture, then you can see how horrible it is. That's not what you pay 56 bucks for. You need to choose the stylist carefully before you go. read more

I took a late lunch to go and have a haircut. I was looking for some guidance on how to cut my hair, although I did bring a picture with me. I also wanted a bit of pampering. I did not receive any guidance and the stylist seemed rude when I showed her the picture, indicating that the picture was just styling and not a hair cut. So I said I wanted the haircut that would allow me to style my hair like the picture. In the end, I left with a very basic haircut and very little effort to style it and make it look nice. I had to go home and restyle it. As far as pampering, there was none. I didn't feel taken care of, except by the person at the front desk who offered me a drink when I arrived. The stylist seemed like she couldn't wait to get me out of her chair and out the door. Very dissatisfied. read more

Great receptionist, but a completely horrible experience for my wife today who had her hair destroyed by a level 5 stylist named DD. I will never visit this salon again, although my hair cut by a level 6 stylist named Sherri, was excellent, the attitude I received from this other stylist DD...well let me say it was not what one would expected from a high end, Redken Elite Salon! read more

LOVED my experience here! I had a color process done to correct some highlights that had grown out and gotten very brassy - almost orange on my natural dark brown hair. Kelli listened to exactly what I wanted and what I didn't want and mixed up exactly the color I wanted! It looks great and I was so happy with my experience I already booked my next appointment! read more

Haircut took way too long and they did not really listen. I told them specifically what I wanted and they still went too short. It looks nice, it's just not what I asked for. read more

BEST hair salon in Atlanta. For the price you pay and the service you get, I always love coming here to feel like a princess. You can get your makeup done after your hair too. Love the ambience and great service! read more

Noel is the best! I've been seeing him for a few months now and my hair has never looked better!
