I went there today to dye my hair red and the stylist that did my hair did a really good job. He gave me a good price and was kind, funny and educational. Definitely recommend! read more

Loved the education on how to maintain my hair and treat it at home! Overall would recommend it to anyone looking to get their hair pressed. The place was aesthetically beautiful! read more

This might be the worst hair experience I have ever had in my life. I live in Los Angeles and was referred to this shop because I needed my hair done for my 3 day trip in ATL. Dwight Eubanks referred a hair stylist named Javon who totally botched my hair. Not even to mention, I came washed and ready to go, this man took over 5 hours to do a botched sew in, botched my frontal (no plucking, no bleached knots, cut it all wrong), braided my braid up to the middle of my head. He was set to charge me $230, but he must've known he messed up because he charged me less than that. I was so upset but did not want to spend anymore time in that house of horror shop with the botcher! I just left because I knew they way I would've expressed myself, would've landed me in prison. Don't ever get your hair done by Javon! He is a menace to society and does not know what he is doing with frontals!!! Dwight has been complained about this stylist but has not responded. How uncouth and unprofessional of him. read more

See all

I really wish I could give them a better review, but I just can't. Let's examine this place from the beginning to end..good vs. bad.. Since I'm still kind of new to the Atlanta area I decided to look online to find a salon that could style natural hair..that was the first mistake...when it comes to hair, only go by referrals from people you've seen with nice, healthy hair. BUT I was desperate and on a time crunch so I surfed the web for advice. When I first checked out the Purple Door's website I was a little confused. It seemed very high-fashion modeling geared, when all I wanted to know was prices, styles offered and products used! I decided to look past that in hopes that they could hook me up. I got there at 6:45pm and asked my stylist if I could get change for a dollar for the meter. He assured me my car would be fine...hmmm guess what I found on my car when I left? A $25 parking ticket...but to rewind the story... I called to set up an appointment and confirm that they were experienced with straightening natural hair and they assured me that they were. I would normally go to TOO GROOVY but my funds were low and The Purple Door was cheap so I decided to give it a try. Everything was fine from the greeting to the shampooing. When he began to dry my hair he took me from the dryer to the hand held blow dryer to the dryer again. He obviously didn't know the first thing about natural hair. Then he flat ironed my hair with the flat irons you put in one of those old school curler ovens...completely damaging for hair!!!! After he got my hair straight he flat ironed it with the regular ceramic iron. Why didn't he just use the ceramic iron in the first place? My hair looked great after he finished, and it felt nice. My stylist was very nice as well, but I didn't leave the salon until around 10:00 and I was my stylist's only client! They also only accept cash. No credit card machine for an upscale high fashion salon? Really? After the ticket experience, for the next 3 days I had constant static in my hair I couldn't get rid of! On top of that, I went back to my normal stylist 2 weeks later and she found a small area in the crown of my head where he burnt my hair off from the heat in the oven flat irons....SO disappointing Dwight! read more

BAIT and SWITCH SCAM If you want a luxury experience don't go here! If your time is valuable and don't want to spend all day in a salon don't go here! If you want service from a honest, up front, professional stylist DO NOT GO here! Short story... I just spent four hours( for the first two hours i was the only client in the salon) to get my hair to get shampooed, dried and flat ironed for $75.00 when it was suppose to be $35.00. Then I was insulted by the stylist. Who went on to tell me that he drives an Infiniti and has diamond rings so when he goes to buy a Burberry bag or orders extra sauce on his burger he doesn't ask how much it cost. Long Story I am visiting Atlanta. A few days ago I saw they had a promotion for 1/2 off Blow and Go on Tuesdays and Wednesday. One the phone he confirmed it would be $25 and$10 for the trim. (just over 40 bucks with tip by my calculations good value) So today I arrived at 9:15 for my scheduled appointment. He sat me in the chair, I reiterated that I wanted the back of my hair trimmed straight across and the top of my hair trimmed in layers. He said that most of his clients "if you can't grow it, we sow it" but that he preferred to work with natural clients with long hair like mine... After shampooing my hair he started to pre-dry my hair and it was frizzing up. I told him that my hair straightens better when it is sectioned off and taken straight from wet to straight or dried with rollers. He said, "I prefer to use rollers but I thought you didn't like the dryer." Anyone with experience with natural hair knows that you don't pre-dry with a paddle brush first for good results! After sitting under the dryer, he starts to use flat irons. I HATE FLAT IRONS THEY MAKE MY HAIR FLAT AND LIMP WITH NO BODY. So, I asked him if it was an extra charge to flat irons because he could skip it and just blow dry! That is when he told me it would be $50.00 for the rollers and that it would be $25 for the way I wanted my hair trimmed. Problem: He should have told me from the beginning that the price would be different. He didn't! He should have told me before putting in the rollers that there was going to be an extra charge. He didn't He should have given me the option to choose if i wanted to pay the new price of $75 or settled for whatever the $35.00 covered. He DID NOT. Instead he explained that he does not discuss prices with his clients. They pay him what ever amount he calculates and the end. That is some Bu!#S#*!. What if i only brought a certain about of cash. No credit card. By the way, what luxury business don't accept credit cards... Darius Head (stylist) and son of the owner waisted my money and my time today. I could have went somewhere else and got what I wanted. read more

I went here twice a couple of years ago, and the guy that did my hair was excellent. I wish I could remember his name, but it's been a while, and he actually left. Anyway, they did an excellent, camera-ready job, and it is a pretty pricey, lavish salon. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because the people there seem quite stuck up. If you call and ask a question they act like you're bothering them. I guess they are celebrity types... read more

Recently visited the salon for the first time, appt for 11:00 on Friday.....referred by regular clients. Salon is beautiful, stylists dressed to the nines, no communication, no beverages, magazines or comforts to address the 3 hour wait for hair to be washed, styled and trimmed.....having visited several professional establishments where the client is catered to, communicated with and made to feel comfortable...they missed the mark. read more

Going to the Purple Door is just fun, Dwight is an awesome hair stylist, Terrance is the bomb at nails, and James gives the best damn massage ever! read more

Todd Edwards....awesomeness. Words can't describe how creative and professional he is. No mess, he's prompt, about the business, but sociable. I'm addicted. I get 100% dedicated attention, no loud talk craziness in the salon, and the people are decent. My new home every two weeks!!! read more

Came to purple door to get my brows done and coming next week to get me and the kids hair done! This is a one stop shop!

I had a WONDERFUL first time experience at The Purple Door with Mister Franklin!! He spent time on the consultation making sure he knew exactly what my hair was like and my problem areas, how I like to do my hair regularly, and what I wanted from my hair cut/stlye. I couldn't be happier! Its really hard to find a stylist that can actually deal with my long, curly hair, and be able to cut and style it to my specifications and Franklin did just that! Absolutely wonderful Salon! read more

OUTSTANDING SERVICE. The ambiance is awesome, worth the extra duckets for a kewl experience.

My 1st experience at Purple Door was fab. Beautiful decor, quiet and relaxing environment. Erykah was attentive and listened and styled wonderfully. See you guys soon. read more

I recently moved to Atlanta and was worried to try a new place, I was certainly wrong to be worried. Darius was fantastic! My hair looks amazing, couldn't be happier. read more

I became acquainted with the Purple Door salon, and the owner, Mr. Dwight Eubanks, through soliciting funds from businesses in the community for the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of my pastor, Dr. Michael N. Harris, at Wheat Street Baptist Church I went to the salon to meet Mr. Eubanks, who was not there the first time I went, but I was so impressed with the staff and the ambience, I decided to make an appointment and return to meet Mr. Eubanks. The second time I went Mr. Eubanks was there and I told him my purpose for coming was two-fold and made an appointment to come back to get my hair styled by him. Mr Eubanks committed to giving a donation at the highest level to our church and I returned to get my hair styled I have NEVER received so many compliments on my hair and was VERY pleased with the service I received. I am now a regular customer,and am impressed that, true to the stated mission of the salon, Mr. Eubanks is supportive of the community, and is an EXCELLENT stylist! read more

EXTREMELY POOR!! Dwight Eubanks does NOT know how to write a good NON-fraudulent check. I strongly recommend you NEVER NEVER EVER extend personal credit. CASH ONLY at time of transaction EXTREMELY POOR business ethics. just a caution. He may be good as a stylist. He is also a good scammer!! BEWARE read more

Samirah has been my hair stylist for almost a year and I can not imagine going anywhere eles. She is professional friendly and cares about healty hair. read more

OMG, I went to this salon and it was ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC!!!! First of all, I'm from GA and lived in ATL for 13 years... I currently live in LA and was in Atlanta visiting. I do my own hair sometimes and sometimes I go to the salon. While, in Atlanta I didn't feel like washing and styling my own hair, so I chose to go to the "supposedly upscale salon" nearest me. All I wanted was a simple wash... The dude that washed my hair is named Javon. This dude can't even do a SIMPLE WASH!!!! I wear a weave, been wearin' weaves on and off since 2002 (for protective style). I buy my hair from Kimberly Kimble's Salon in LA, been buyin' her hair for 5 years (it's the best)!!! Her hair NEVER tangles, EVER!!!! I've let TONS of different people do my hair and it NEVER tangles! I do my OWN hair and it NEVER tangles! I don't know what the hell he put in my hair, but when I got up from the bowl, my hair was on top of my head, looking CRAZY! By the way, Kim's hair will last you at LEAST 2 years each time you purchase it. I also wear her closures and they never tangle either. Furthermore, the way he washed my hair was screwed up as well, dude clearly doesn't know what he's doing. To add to this NIGHTMARE, he used a wide tooth comb to try and untangle it, WRONG!!! Another stylist told him to use a BRUSH, smh. Why does another stylist have to tell you that???? Then, the brush he used didn't even have any BRISTLES!!!! WTF!!!! To make a long story short, I ended up getting the tangles out! I did my OWN FUCKING HAIR IN THEIR SALON!!!! Then, he had the nerve to get an attitude with me because I'm upset about what he did to MY hair. Not once did he apologize for messing up my hair, not once. He NEVER took responsibility. My hair is ALWAYS bomb cuz I buy the best and I take good care of it. Now, I have to purchase NEW hair because whatever he used changed the entire texture, etc. My hair still tangles a bit when I wash it and it doesn't feel the same. Purple Door Salon sucks ASS, don't let Javon do your hair!!! read more
