    Color and Brazilian treatment
    Claudia O.

    I always leave happy from Karen's salon. She is funny, friendly, and doeS a great job! I usually spend 3 hours there with all my treatments, and time goes by very fast!

    I've been coming to Karen for 2 years now and couldn't imagine finding anyone better--she is AMAZING!!! I always get a partial highlight and cut and she takes the time to make sure it turns out perfectly every time. She uses a unique method that allows my hair to grow out super evenly without a crown around my head. But then when I come in again, she refreshes it, brightens me up, and it's gorgeous again!! See before and after picture for an example. I recommend Karen to everyone I meet! She's the best!!!

    Karen is amazing!!!! She was so wonderful, took the time to explain exactly what she was doing and why. She made my curls look absolutely gorgeous.

    Karen is incredible!! I have curly/coily/kinky hair and she did an AMAZING job trimming and shaping my hair. She listened to my concerns and was totally knowledgeable about what to do and what not to do. My hair is in a bit of a transition as I stopped using some product that wasn't working for me and picked up a new hair routine. Karen understood what my goals were and worked with me on styling ideas, hair care, and next steps. I will definitely be coming back and I'm sure I've found "my hairstylist."-- I've always wanted to find just the right person and I did!! Karen is patient, kind, talented, and an awesome listener. Thank you!!!

    I've been managing my curly lion's mane since I was a little girl and I always dread going to get my haircut because I'm afraid that someone will cut it wrong and ruin my curls..... after visiting Karen for the first time yesterday I definitely am not afraid to go to the salon anymore! Karen was so helpful in explaining to me what I was doing wrong and in giving me suggestions for how to get more out of my hair. She took her time and really made sure my whole cut was perfect. I actually can't wait to go back and try out layers.. gasp! A sentence I have never uttered in my life. I recommend Karen to anyone with (or without) curly hair! She is attentive and very deliberate with every cut she makes. Check out this before and after pic to get a feel for how hard she worked to get rid of my frizz, clean up my dead ends and really define my curls.... oh and she even fixed up my eyebrows, too!

    Karen is by far the best hairdresser EVER. She does a perfect OIUDAD curly cut. My hair gets a million compliments when she does my hair. This visit she also repaired my awful color job I gave myself. She put in lovely highlights to try to break up my mess. It's simply beautiful. I love love love it!! She also waxed and tinted my eyebrows. Perfection. I brought my mom in and she did a lovely cut and color on her today. My mom loves it and she usually doesn't like anything. True story. Karen is such a lovely wonderful lady. She guarantees all her work. I'm saddened by the couple of the bad reviews I just read. I'm actually shocked because between living in New York and here in the Bay Area she's certainly gives me the best haircut I've ever had. Thanks Karen!!! You are the best :)

    love my Uberliss keratin treatment!
    Blescel B.

    I love Karen!!! She is the best hairdresser I ever had! I just came across her on Yelp and I didn't doubt her expertise at all. It was my 1st time getting Keratin treatment here in the US and she didn't fail my expectations. I love the way she explained the steps in detail. She is also very patient, kind and humorous. I highly recommend her. God bless you Karen!

    As you can tell from the before pic, my hair had some THINGS going on but Karen was able to work through it and fix it by placing beautiful highlights as well as evening out my cut! She made my hair look super good and gave me a beautiful blowout as well as great advice on how to care for my thick curly hair! Thank you so much Karen, you definitely did such a great job on my hair (:

    Post haircut look

    I got an Ouidad Carve done from Karen. She loves naturally curly hair and she helped me embrace the beauty in mine by truly teaching me how to take care of my hair. I have never taken care of my hair and as a result still struggling to keep up with it.Karen has been really kind and she has offered a second consultation for free, just to.show me how to use the products to makntain my hair. I appreciate people who are passionate about their professions and go out of the way for their clients. She will be my go to person henceforth.

    I'm very pleased with how my extensions came out.
    Sandra F.

    I came across her on yelp and I'm soooo happy I went to get my extensions done by her. She did a phenomenal job and totally went out of her way to make sure I liked my extensions. She met me at two different places to purchase hair but I ended up using my own extensions that I had. She took the clips off and converted them into wefts so I didn't have to spend money on new hair. I made an evening appointment and she stayed till late to make sure I was satisfied with how my hair came out. I highly recommend her! :) She's very super sweet and very talented.

    My transition from blonde to redhead.  Thank you Karen! :-)

    I went to Karen last week to color my hair (first time!) from blonde to red. She was really great at explaining the color options to me, and since I was a total newbie, she talked to me about the differences between semi-permanent, permanent, etc. I felt totally comfortable handing the reigns over to her and letting her make some of the bigger color decisions. I went with a semi-permanent option, and she mixed me up the perfect color- I couldn't be happier! She even waxed and colored my eyebrows afterwards so that my blonde eyebrows wouldn't look totally weird and out of place. I will definitely be going back as well as recommending to friends! THANK YOU KAREN!!

    All over color - purply reddish brown concoction turned out gorgeous!

    Karen is amazing! I've seen her twice now so it's about time I wrote her a review. Words to describe Karen are honest, accommodating, comfortable, and reasonable. For my first visit, I came in wanting an ombre for my friends wedding. She told me straight up that she would do it for me, but definitely wouldn't recommend it. My hair was severely damaged since I burned a large portion of it and an ombre would have made it worse. Instead, she gave me some really pretty highlights that everyone loved and cut my hair in a way that would keep the length but make it appear healthier. The highlights were very soft and subtle. Even after a few months, they grew out nicely and you couldn't even tell. I just had my second visit with her, and I wanted to go all out. I decided I wanted to do an all-over color that was purply reddish. I had many ideas in my head, even auburn, but really didn't have a clue of what I wanted. We talked it out and she came up with this epic hair color concoction and it turned out beautifully! My hair looks extremely shiny and soft now and the color is stunning. I totally recommend her. She is the kind of person that will make sure you get what you want when you come in. Even if it isn't what you intended, she seriously knows what's best. Thanks a lot!

    Agave treatment, no flat iron

    Karen is a very knowledgeable stylist and did a fantastic job on my hair (see my before and after pix). First day at work and got compliments from the coffee shop and male/female coworkers... I had my hair highlighted before meeting her (and trimmed) which I wasn't 100% happy with so she made recommendations that made sense to me for my next treatment with her. I live about 30 miles away and work about 15 away and plan to work my future visits into my routine!

    After hair extensions. My hair was short to my shoulders.

First off, just know my hair was DAMAGED and shedding prior to going to Nicole. I also experienced major heat damage from going to a few different Dominican salon right here in McDonough. My first visit included a rinse to cover my pesky gray hair, highlights, deep condition and silk press and a major cut. I had gone to previous salons before and my gray hairs were still there after the rinse. I was lowkey annoyed at how much hair was on the floor, but it was damaged and needed to be cut. It was not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and Nicole is a licensed hair stylist. The next time, i went it was a wash, conditioning treatment and rod set. The following week i washed my own hair for the first time and was shocked at how my hair was full of curls and not shedding as it had been doing previously. I didn't have any long straight pieces and my hair once again was nice and thick. Today was a rinse, wash, conditioning treatment and flat iron no issues here. My hair looks amazing and most importantly healthy. If you are looking for a license colorist and someone who is going to treat your hair and get it healthy, and allow your hair to grow, go ahead and give Nicole a try. Tell her TammiJ sent you.

I had been in the store already 30 minutes and was never asked once if I needed anything. I absolutely love Ulta and have patronized many of your stores in Indiana, Tennessee and Mississippi and was always promply greeted. I've had multiple salon services and for birthdays and holidays I would always ask for gift cards from the store because I loved how helpful everyone was. I had stopped going to Sephora for over 11 years because I loved the customer service Ulta had. Unfortunately, today will be the last time I visit this location. I will return to the one in Peachtree City to give Ulta one last chance. Because I didn't have time to drive there today, I went next door to Sephora to make my purchases, where I was greeted when I walked into the cosmetics section in Kohl's. I'm not asking for anything for my inconvenience, I just ask that your other patrons are not treated like this.
