Jo is the shit. Star Salon is also pretty rad as well. If you want a great, fresh cut from someone who genuinely loves to cut hair then I highly recommend you book with Jo. She loves what she does; she has been doing it for quite a long time and continues to do it for the love of her art. And yes, when you cut so well it DOES IN FACT become art. Trust me, I'm an Architect. Anyway! I followed Jo over to Star Salon from her former shop. After Jo left I tried out a couple of other stylists andddddd it just really wasn't working out. I knew that what was missing in my life was not just a great haircut, but a great haircut by Jo. As I said above she really loves cutting hair so I always know that when I go to see her she is going to do everything within her power to make sure I am walking out feeling like my most handsome and fresh self. She also has quite a deep knowledge of products and can recommend you things to try out depending on what kind of style you're going for. Jo is actually only one of two stylists I have ever trusted enough to take their advice on spending money on new products. Most of the time I feel like a stylist is just trying to push a certain product to make a sale. Do they get commission from the shop? I don't know! But It never felt right. But Jo cares, and everything she has recommended to me has been well worth picking up as I still continue to use all of the products she has recommended to me. Lastly I would say for the guys questioning if they want to spend a bit more for a cut at a salon; it is well worth throwing a bit extra to Jo for one of her cuts. Whether I am planning to go 4 weeks or 12 weeks in between cuts I know that I can't go wrong with Jo. Every cut I have had from her in the last 8 months has grown out extremely well when I have been too busy to get back in sooner. So if you like to go less frequently you're probably making an even better choice going to see Jo. Star Salon: Now let's talk about Star Salon! It is a pretty fresh spot to get a fresh cut; I must say. It's right down off of the Belt line which I love because I enjoy biking around the city and the Belt line is a straight shot from my house over to the salon. So that's awesome. As others have said the salon has a very relaxed and warm atmosphere. Everyone is always very welcoming and friendly and relaxed. The place is clean, it smells good, and it is comfortable. Honestly I am a guy so I feel like it is pretty easy to please me as far as the salons go. But I have been to a fair amount of them and this is definitely a very nice one. Thanks so much Jo and Star Salon for providing me with the fresh dew every time! read more

If you haven't been here yet, you have to go quickly!! CeCe Costello is an incredible stylist!! She not only knows exactly what she's doing, she does it extremely well... with the perfect mix of professionalism and care! CeCe is patient and kind and does exactly what I ask while also giving me advice on care and styling my fine and sometimes unmanageable hair!! The attention to detail that she possesses along with her raw talent is unmatched anywhere in Atlanta...I know because I think I have tried almost everyone, and she is simply the best!!! I come here all the way from Buckhead where I am surrounded by every hair salon imaginable with every claim to fame that they can muster....because she is worth every second of travel through Atlanta traffic..and then some! The Salon itself is small , clean and intimate and everyone is friendly and caring without being pushy about loading me down with products! I will NEVER go to anyone else in Atlanta, and if I ever move, I will come back to Atlanta just to have CeCe do my hair...she is truly THAT great! Go in and see her and you can thank me later!! read more

I moved to the area recently after finishing college, and I had only had one other haircut in town. I was not very happy with the outcome at that salon, so after reading some great reviews, I booked a same-day appointment at Star Salon with Jo. She was so thorough with her questions before cutting my hair, and you could tell she wanted to get it right. While I am not super picky about my haircuts, since they are generally pretty simple, Jo really took the time to make sure we were on the same page. She did an awesome job on both the cut and color, and gave me some great tips on how to really care for my hair. I loved the laid back environment of the salon, and enjoyed my whole experience. I highly recommend this salon if you are looking for a place with people who truly love what they do! read more

Jo is the very best! I went to her for a fairly big project. I wanted to take my hair from dirty blonde to platinum with half blue and half pink end a-la harley quinn. It was an all day process from about noon until six thirty or so but so worth it, and Jo was kind enough to have me be her only client that day so there wasn't any wait time between color processes and cut. My hair looks great, people stop me all the time to tell me they love it and ask where I got it done and best of all it still feels great! Jo recommended a trim and conditioning treatment to keep my hair healthy and I am so glad she did. Anyone who can do so well with such a big change like this can obviously do a great job at any other hair change you might want. Go to Jo and I promise you'll be happy you did! read more

Had such a great experience at Star Salon with Kelsey that I HAD to share! I was pretty nervous about going to a new place but I had one too many bad experiences with my old stylist. She could never seem to achieve the look I was going for and when I brought in pictures of what I liked, she would tell me she didn't like it!? Hmm... long story short, I am so glad she treated me this way because I may have never met Kelsey! Kelsey took the time to really listen and examine my hair's current state. She totally transformed the look and feel of my hair! She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, but still as easy as a breeze to chat with. I highly recommend this trendy little salon and all-star Kelsey! You will not be disappointed. read more

Never had a go-to stylist or an actual salon I've ever considered "mine". Now I do. From what I know, it's a dream come true for the chief stylist & owner that has successfully created a salon her own way. The way she always wanted and it operates (by choice) much differently than other Atlanta salons I've used. It's different because it's personal on two levels. Personal to the stylists because they passionately enjoy their work and want to exceed your expectations. It's also personal to the customer because you're taken seriously and treated like someone expected to return. They are good. You can request music. You will go back if you go once. Also, they have one of the better sign designs I've seen around Inman Park. read more

I am happy to let the City of Atlanta know that there is this comfortable salon on Elizabeth St. in Inman Park that plays great music, has a wonderful vibe about it and a great picture window looking out on a brick wall that sports some fab graffiti. But this is a review about it's owner/artist Jessica. If you're looking for personal attention to your cut and color, care over the fact that you are her client (important to me because I am a business owner) and that she is an artistic genius with color and cut, then high tail it to Star Salon. The price is right...did I mention that? Last words of advice...just book her and go! read more

Today was my first trip into the Star Salon and I will have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. It was an intimate setting with a warm atmosphere and friendly faces who greeted me upon my arrival. My stylist, Jo, is always ready to begin cutting and shaping my hair as we chat and catch up where we left off. Afterwards I can say I am always impressed but what she can do to transform my head of hair that grows like a weed. I walked out with a smile, very happy with my transformation! Thank you Star Salon and thank you Jo, for working your magic. Very happy with my cut once again! ....Another satisfied client! read more

It is a pleasure to write good things about this wonderful salon and about Kelsey, who has been helping my hair to look and feel beautiful and healthy for the past 6 months. This salon is intimate and fun, with funky colors and great music, easy going ambiance, super friendly staff and there are great shops and restaurants all around. Kelsey works with me and listens to exactly what I need and want. This salon has an intimacy that makes you feel like you are the only one there and have all the attention. I highly recommend this salon and Kelsey, a true artist who "gets it" which is hard for us blonds to find!! read more

This is my third time to this salon, my second time seeing Jo. And honestly, this review is a long time coming! Overall, this is an awesome space- clean, the ladies are all super nice, and just a fantastic environment. Jo in particular is a great hairdresser- she's the only one I've ever returned to besides my mom! Seriously. She's really intuitive, and really gets what I'm thinking when I go for a new look. She's rocked my hair both times I've seen her, and really refreshed my old, tired, basic look. I'm absolutely going to keep coming back! Tell her Andi sent you and you'll get $5 off, too! read more

I was a $9 Great Clips guy for many (too many) years until my wife couldn't stop talking about Jo Wilson and told me I should give her a shot. So, I did and it's the first time in my life that I keep going back to the same hair stylist. Jo has eliminated my fears of getting my hair cut because she is so consistently great. She gives good suggestions and somehow knows what is going to look good! Jo is awesome, patient, really knows her stuff, and is really fun to work with. Best haircuts I've had. Star Salon is a cool place too - great atmosphere and very reasonably priced. read more

I am so happy with my experience at Star Salon! Jo gave me the best ombre color I have honestly ever had. She took one look at my photo examples and said, yep that will look great - and lo and behold it looks fabulous!! Jo made a point to get to know me and how I normally style my hair (I'm a low maitenence kind of chick) and made suggestions based on that. She also had some great tips for keeping your hear healthy and shiny. Oh yeah, and the cut looks fantastic too! Exactly what I wanted. Getting compliments left and right! Overall, I would highly recommend color + cut by Jo! read more

Jessica is creative, intelligent, and a hair visionary. Best of all, she will know what you want and what you don't. She'll make accurate suggestions (I happily trusted her with my color decision and I hadn't had a professional coloring in more than two decades), and you'll be treated like the star her salon is named after. The atmosphere of the place itself is warm, inviting, and attractive--much like those who work there! I can't wait to let Jess pick my next color--we're going to change with the seasons! Yay, Star Salon! read more

I recently followed my current stylist, Kelsey, to Star Salon. Right away I loved this place! Kelsey always gives great cut and color, but now in a very cool and relaxed environment. Star Salon isn't big, so it offers a cozy atmosphere and you don't feel like they are rushing you out to get to the next client. I can count on Kelsey to offer consultations and I always trust her recommendations! Or I can bring her a picture and she gives me that exact cut! You won't be disappointed when choosing Star Salon! read more

I love this place! It is so cute and personal. The receptionist was really sweet, the place itself was easy to get to and it was easy to park on the road right next to it. My stylist Kelsey is so amazing; over the years she has done everything from a simple cut to chopping all my hair off to donate. She always know how to do the latest styles and I can bring her a picture of anything and she can do it. Recently, she did ombre with my dark hair and I get so many compliments!! read more

Met Jo for the first time..recommended by my son... Words cannot adequately describe how much I LOVE my new hair!! I'm a 56 yr old mother of 6 who for the first time in a long time... I know I looked amazing. Jo... You are an amazing hair artist and I'm planning on making this 8 hour drive regulary to be able to recieve more of your magic and maintain my beautiful new hairstyle. Thabk you read more

I've seen three different stylists in Atlanta to have my hair dyed blonde (from brown) and Jo has, hands down, done the best job! The color is amazing and works perfectly with my curly hair. She was also able to cut my curls so that they curl better than they have in years! My husband even said that my hair looks the best it has looked since I started having it dyed blonde. Thanks, Jo! read more

I came in October on a spur of the moment decision to do something new to my hair. Kelsey was my hair dresser all through college and I noticed she moved to this salon. I HAD to come to her. She is an amazing hair dresser. Her happy soul will make you want to stay there longer than it takes to do your hair. I had ombre done on my hair and LOVE it! I definitely recommend this salon. read more

This place is excellent! Thank you, Kelsey for the super trim and color! At Star Salon it is easy to get an appointment and the quality of work is awesome! Parking can be tricky, but it is totally worth it for the service! I cannot remember a better salon in my past that I have been to. I love this place and I will most definitely go back. Highly recommend!!! read more
