Was looking for a nice vibrant salon to get my hair done when i was in town, and i found Melange on the web. When driving up from the highway i could tell i was in the city. I have not felt so unsafe in a long time. The parking lot was kinda creepy a dim lit parking deck that seemed unsafe. That was next to a public transit, with looked to appear large crowds of people. The man next to me said be sure you lock up.Cars get broke into all the time its rite off the marta train line in a bad part of town. Just a bad location. When i arrived i was thinking i was at the wrong place. It appeared to be an all ethnic salon. When i arrived i was informed that the stylist was out for the day and asked me to reschedule my appointment. She apologized for not informing me. I then informed the young girl that i was from out of town could any one else fit me in. Her reply was no. I asked for a owner and i got no owner. I was trying to contact the salon owner and it seems that this salon has no owner. Its so hard to find a place when in from out of town and need a service on the fly. So i stuck around to try and get one of the services. That no one was even at work to get a service. So the girl called nervously some techs to come in to work. Just seems that this salon is kinda all over the place A skin care kinda let down, and a tiny room at the front of it for a massage. Corky overpriced costume jewelry that was all over the place. Seemed to be either young non experienced just out of barber school or one or two older stylist that did not seem happy. There was just a hint of confusion and tension. This is a horible place with not very educated hair stylist. i would never recomend this. read more

After 2 years of sub-par but very pricey hair, I finally found Andrew Keller. For 4 years at Clemson I had amazing and dirt cheap stylist that I loved. When I moved here I attempted Van Michaels several times (different people, I thought I'd find at least one good one).. the color was decent but they once gave me a mullet. AWFUL. Vidal sassoon was OK but pretty pricey and very snobby. Then there was Bob Steele... $260 later I had a straight chop across one side of my head (which was conveniently hidden when she styled it) and the color faded 2 weeks later. Then there was grow salon in Decatur. Honestly, it wasn't bad, the cuts were good but the color boring. I was so discouraged that I ended up going back to Clemson a few times to get my cut/color. Finally.. after a day of Yelping, I discovered Soda Salon. I read through some of the reviews and ended up choosing Andrew. Love at first style! He actually listened to what I wanted! And when I asked his opinion on certain colors/cut options, he gave me HONEST answers instead of just what i wanted to hear. The Soda location that I went to ended up closing, but I followed Andrew to Melange. I went on their last day at their old location and I can't wait to see their new space! Andrew is a definite must - he is great at what he does (esp for being so young!) and he is SO sweet and makes you feel really comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

Melange hair studio is great. I always go to Rozie. I've been going to her for a couple of years now. I recently moved out of Atlanta, but I visit every 2-4 months. When I am in town, I make sure to give Rozie a call. If you want to know the best stylist here, it's her. I have long,brown, straight, fine hair. She always does a great job of making it look voluminous and healthy. -Extremely friendly service. Upbeat atmosphere and fun stylists. They even bring you coffee,tea,soda,juice,water,etc. as you're getting your haircut. -Detail oriented. If you want a specific cut, they do their best to come through exactly how you want it. -They listen. If you say you just want a trim, they'll do just that (whereas some stylists think trim means five inches off). If you want their advice, theyll happily give it to you. -They're always learning new skills. Thus, if you want, they can show you some new techniques that can spice up or give a subtle boost to your look. read more

I've had my hair cut by several very nice stylists in southeast Atlanta, but Andrew at Melange (formerly of Soda in Glenwood Park) is the best. I believe he's capable of producing any style, but is very good at coming up with something flattering based on the realities of my life, and my straight, flat, lifeless hair. For instance: I didn't want to go as short as I normally would because my wedding was coming up; he gave me a great transition cut that worked day to day, but was easy to make into something fancy on the big day. I've never left with a haircut I couldn't style the same way Andrew had, which is remarkable, given that I have no patience and an aversion to products. (Hence the flat and lifeless. Whoops.) Melange itself is fine -- clean, attractive, not terribly unique looking -- but the location is fantastic. Plenty of parking, but better still, it's half a block from MARTA's King Memorial station. As long as Andrew is there, I will be, too. read more

If you're looking for a salon with their finger on the pulse, Melange is the place! Totally chill vibe, complete with tea, coffee, etc. to help you unwind from a long day. Plus, it's a local business - hooray! I originally found Andrew when he was working at SODA in Edgewood when I was in the middle of an unfulfilling, hateful relationship with my hair. However, Andrew saved me from the depths of boring and put some 'new' in my do. When he moved to Melange, it was a bit further of a drive for me, but well worth it! What can I say, he's utterly fabulous and my friends have all noticed the difference. Andrew has a hip, easy-going, fun-loving manner that is completely infectious. He takes the time to understand what you're looking for and truly cares about making you look (and feel) the best you possibly can! Now I won't trust my hair to anyone else! Note: Melange has moved to The Pencil Factory Lofts at 349 Decatur Street, Suite G. read more

Melange Studio is very lucky to have Andrew Keller as a stylist he has been doing my hair for the past 4 years. I have never been so happy with my hair, as I have been since I started going to him. He is very creative and always gives great input. I have gone through many colors and styles ( and loved them all) that I would not have if it wasn't for him. I would completely trust him enough to say go for it and sit there with a blindfold on and know I was going to walk out with fabulous hair. The color is amazing and the cut grows out wonderfully so a month later I am still looking in the mirror thinking wow I have a great haircut. He takes his time I never feel rushed and he makes sure I am 100% happy before I leave. If you want amazing hair and to meet a great person then go see Andrew and make sure you have plans for that night because you are going to want to show off your beautiful hair to as many people as possible. read more

I had Cathy (or Kathy... I'm not sure) from Melange do my wedding updo in June of 2010. I came in for one trial updo only a few weeks before the wedding. Cathy got to know me a little bit, looked at some images I had brought, and got to work! I asked her to do whatever she thought would look good, and HOLY MOLY, she did it! She somehow must have really sensed my personality in the short period of time we had to get to know each other. The hairdo was intricate and exciting, but not over the top. I loved it, as well as the conversations we had while she was fixing me up. I highly recommend Cathy, as well as the other services at Melange (I've had a massage, and my husband has had haircuts, all SUPER!). read more

I've been going to Philip for four years now. I went from boring, typical shoulder length mousy hair to short, asymmetrical cut with great highlights. Since then he's changed up the color and the cut to keep my look fresh and fun. From sassy platinum blond hair to a red head. I love it! And I get compliments all the time. Friends and colleagues now go to him. And no they don't all have my hair cut or even short hair. A friend with long beautiful brown hair goes to him too. He really knows how to find the perfect cut and color for each person. If you're looking for more than just a hair cut, you should see Philip. Let him work his magic. read more

It's always hard to find a hairstylist but once you find a good one you're set! That's how I feel about Andrew, who is now at Melange. I've been getting my hair cut with him for almost two years now and he's absolutely fabulous! Every time I get my hair cut I walk out with something new and exciting that I always love. He's young, fashion forward, and so much fun. He's also really conscious of what you're looking for and making sure he gets it right. I recommend him to all my friends and they've all had great experiences with him too. I'm looking forward to checking out their new space when I get my hair cut next time! read more

I was lucky enough to win a Melange gift certificate for an appointment with Pam. For years I'd been considering cutting my rock star hair (long, wild and curly) into something more chic and manageable. After my initial consultation I knew that Pam was the artist to do the job. She asked tons of questions, loaned magazines and made excellent suggestions, including making the change in phases. I loved the first haircut, the subsequent haircuts and my eventual short sassy do. Next experiment will be color. As a bonus everyone at the shop is friendly and helpful. I give Melange highest marks for excellence. read more

I've been with Jamie at Melange for almost 14 years now, and she is GREAT. One thing that stands out for me at Melange is their new organic, ammonia-free hair color -- I love it! My eyes do not burn at all while I'm processing, and that is a huge plus, and I actually like the smell of the color. Grey coverage is fantastic! Jamie really keeps up with the current trends in hair cutting (which has been great for me as I have been letting my hair grow out from a pixie cut since January), and the haircare and styling products she recommends (but is not the least bit pushy about) are fabulous. read more

Melange has a new stylist... "Courtney Brooks" I have followed her for years, and now that she is at Melange (which is a great location), I am even happier. Once you find someone you can trust with curly hair you stick to them. Courtney will listen to your requests and always has fun and new ideas for changing your look. I usually don't get my hair colored however I gave it a shot and she was great. I went from brown to red with no problems, it looks funky and natural. I give Courtney and the salon two thumbs up! read more

I had a hair emergency and needed a fix ASAP!! I found Melange on yelp and made a same day appointment. Rozie V was my colorist and she was amazing!! She listened to everything I said and wanted and was up for the challenge. Even before she washed my hair out I knew it was going to look great, she took so much time and care and I was very impressed. Love the finished product, and am definitely going back. Would recomend to any one! Oh ya and the price was GREAT read more

If you are looking for a fabulous cut, you need to see Andrew. He is very talented and hilarious to boot! My cut always looks great and we have the best time together. I've sent friends his way and am always amazed with his work. If you're in the market for a new favorite stylist, he's your man. Be aware that the salon might be moving, but still in the area. Their new space sounds amazing, be sure to check it out! read more

I love the location of Melange... It is nice and trendy... I love my favorite stylist Rozie V. Rozie gives me a great massage when she shampoos my hair and she is really good at what she does. Not to mention that her own hair always looks fabulous. We always have great conversation and I come out really satisfied with a great cut and style. Visit Rozie, you won't be disappointed!!!! :) read more

Love this salon! Kyle Wilcox (formerly from Soda Salon in Glenwood Park) is a dream stylist- he NEVER cuts too much and his color skills are phenomial. How great is it that you can get color and cut in one session by one stylist? He is highly skilled at both, unlike most stylists who specialize in one or the other. I knew he was good when my ultra-picky husband made the switch! read more

Andrew at Melange Studio is absolutely fantastic. He listens well and executes even better. His craft is flawless and he takes extreme care in every cut. Not only is he a talented stylist, but he is also easy-going and gets along well with everyone he runs into. I definitely would recommend going to Andrew at Melange Studio - he will not disappoint! read more

Jamie Booth from Melange has been cutting my hair for almost 10 years now. She keeps things fresh (like using new ammonia free color which I love) and is on top of the best new products to make it easier to style my hair (like dry oil mist). This place is wonderful. read more

I see Shelia at this hair studio and she listens, understands my hair, what products work and don't work. She has given my best foil color highlights EVER and the best cut for my life style and face shape. I highly recommend this salon and especially SHELIA! read more
