This review is for the Zapien's Salon at Lake Oconee. I assume the Zapien's in Atlanta is…read moresubstantially the same. What is Zapien's like? On the one hand, it is like coming to see friends. On the other hand, it is like stepping through a door and into a fashion show, complete with models, excited chatter, and glamor. In short, it has a terrific ambiance. When I enter, I check in at the desk. They remember my name. They bring me coffee and remember how I like it. There is not much waiting; Norman, who is both my stylist and the owner, comes up front to get me within a couple of minutes after I arrive. A Zapien's stylist doesn't begin with coloring or cutting. Instead, the stylist looks the client over like Michelangelo examining a new model. The stylist determines features that need emphasizing or de-emphasizing, the optimal shape and length for the hair, and (if the customer wants color, as I do), the optimal color. Then, the stylist discusses his or her impressions with the client. The stylist and client agree, and then the artistry begins. There's no need to go into the details of a cut and color. Suffice it to say that many people (the stylist, the color assistant, the wash assistant, the scheduler, and so on) have a role in helping the client, every one of them knows what they are doing, and every one of them executes to perfection. Zapien's is about more than hair: it is about making the client look and feel great. As one example, I have always had a ruddy complexion. I asked Norman whether he had any suggestions for hiding the redness. He looked me over (Michelangelo again) and gave me a suggestion I had never thought of. It was a Godsend: it worked perfectly. I will sum my experiences up like this: How good is Zapien's? So good that I start looking forward to my appointment three days before it is scheduled. I highly recommend.

When I came in this morning, I had ash brown roots and extremely faded pink/red hair (not to mention the dying, broken ends) Now I have a rich brown color and happy ends! It's a friendly, professional environment, I will definitely be back when it's time for maintenance.

Full head of rainbow hair with an oil treatment for $340. 9 hours of work. I had highlights in my hair & my natural hair is pretty much black. The salon is small & has 2 stylists who are both beautiful people. I felt like we really bonded after this 9 hour laugh session. One of the other customers ordered take out so we split a pizza & had soda & candy like a real party. Violet specializes in creative color & also does cuts. The parking situation is fine... If you pop out on the back side of the strip mall, you gotta go between the buildings where the stairs are to get to the salon. If you're looking for color, I highly recommend seeing Violet!

I was yelled at by Ashley (stylist) because she said she had to go pick up her son from school at the time of my appointment.
