As a military wife, each move presents the challenge of finding a good stylist. So happy we retired here because Alex J at The Beauty Shop does my hair wonderfully! Love the new location on Tower Rd! Lots more parking and no competing with the ham store at Thanksgiving. Lol Alex J has been doing my hair for a few yrs now (and my girls ) and each time I go she listens and does exactly what I ask. I have not had a disappointing cut/style yet. She even amazed my mom when she came for a visit this summer by taking her comments and interpreting them to a beautiful and complimentary cut. Mom said 3 stylists at home (KS) had not been able to achieve the look she wanted in 4 yrs! But Alex did . The shop is always clean and all the stylists/staff are super friendly and personable. read more

The salon is small but very cute. I really love the open floor plan, bright lighting and overall atmosphere of the shop. The layout really works with it's limited spacing. There is only one bathroom in the back but it's roomy, clean and always stocked with smocks, toilet paper and the essentials. There's a small K-cup coffee maker in the back that houses a few porcelain tea cups. Normally, I'd be kind of weird about using non-paper items in a business but for whatever reason, this place seems clean so I'll drink the free coffee from the reusable cups. There's also a corner for makeup application and another corner in the back for eye lash extensions. Also in the back is an open area for hair washing. It's very unique in this set up as I've never seen anything like it! I love that I'm not stuck behind a wall or hidden behind some kind of hair spray shelving. The staff is super friendly and very talkative. I love that the other employees come and chat with you a bit before heading off. The place gave the demeanor of a happy, safe place but with the design of the modern day. I've been to this location twice to see Maria. I live in DC but after having Maria do wonders on my flat, Asian hair and with all of the semi-terrible experiences I've had in DC, I'll gladly travel 12 hours south for her magic touch! The first time I saw her, I hadn't had a decent hair cut in almost 8 months so my hair was all over the place. Not to mention, I had it highlighted previously and tried to do a home repair because I hated it so much so my hair was damaged and frizzy at the ends. Maria had me in and out in less than 30 minutes with a sleek shiny do and some amazing side bangs (which I would have NEVER considered before but absolutely love now!). The second time I saw her was 4 months later because I really wanted a balayage style coloring and in dire need of a trim. My concern with the balayage is that almost every picture on Google only allows for large curls and I really hate curling my hair (because I'm lazy and I have a 1-year-old) and I wanted it to look great at it's natural state. She styled it in a curled fashion but I've since never curled my hair and it looks fantastic straight with a simple blow dry! I'm already planning another trip to Columbus GA to get some touch ups before I head out for another work trip and I couldn't be more excited! I can't believe people actually LIVE in the area and choose to go to a different salon. Hands down this place is one of the best I've ever been too. I can't really compare the prices since DC prices are much higher but I've heard it's fairly reasonable. For me, the price is moot for the confidence it gives me! read more

I made an appointment to see Trish after a friend recommended her. I had some highlights done a few weeks ago (I didn't really want them in the first place, but my previous hair person insisited I get something 'fun for the summer' and I reluctantly agreed). Anyway, I kept hoping that it would grow on me, but of course I just began to hate it more every day. I just wanted my brown hair back. I took a picture with me to the Beauty shop to show Trish how I wanted it to look, and she did a fantastic job! I feel like my old self again! She was so nice, very gentle (no pulling or brushing hard) and I felt completely satisfied when I left. I will be returning to the Beauty shop. One very cool thing that I have never experienced in a salon before-- comfortable sinks!!!! They always hurt my neck, but the ones at the Beauty shop are 100% pain free!!! I highly recommend the Beauty shop!! 100/A++++ read more

The Beauty Shop - Back to my good girl brown hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

I took my 2 year old in to get a hair cut Friday, they told me it would be $17 dollars which I thought was a little much but you get what you pay for right? Well not only did she clip his ear and made him bleed doing the same haircut he always gets but once we checked out she charged us $25 when I was told it would be $17. I still tipped her $5 but I will not be bringing him back! read more
