I've been going to Taylor for over 7 years now and my hair has never looked better, healthier or blonder than it is now. My natural hair is DARK and I've had various hair colors over the year so it's been through it. Taylor knew exactly how to treat my delicate and damaged hair and bring it back to life while still getting just the right beach blonde. I don't even need to tell him what I want when I get it done, he can look at my skin tone and determine what's best based on the season and how much sun I'll be getting. Not only that but he's always responsive, makes himself available quick turn and is a great vibe throughout the appointment. (killer taste in music too!). We've known each other for such a long time now and he always manages to blow me away with his work! read more

I'm writing this review as a warning- because I came across this man, Taylor, on Google- and trusted the ratings. I'll summarize the longer review below- do not trust this creepy, unprofessional, racist stylist (who brags about fornicating with college girls as a 34 year old) and claims he has been blacklisted by other salons because he was "too good". My scalp has actual blisters and half of my hair is melted off and broken at the root- so it will be years before I recover from this horror story. I wrote a long Now the actual events- I contacted "The BlondeBar" explaining that I needed to find a new bleach and tone expert. I explained that because I have fragile Norwegian hair, my previous stylist (who is now cutting eight inches off my beloved long hair), used a very gentle 10-15 volume bleach. Taylor scoffed and said that was just "wasting time" but I ignored my gut and heeded the desperation of long grown roots (if you know, you know. It's not a cute look) I arrived to my appointment at 2:00 and he rolled in about the same time. With a very odd look in his eye he asked me if I was "ops" and explained he had "many enemies". I was a little take aback by this but again, stupidly ignored my gut. I explained who I was and he let me into his studio saying now he remembered me. As I sat down in his chair we again chatted through my hair history- where he kept trying to convince me to foil my hair "to be blonde as fuck" because I was "too high of caliber" to be a just a bleach and tone. I said I preferred my look as again I am half Norwegian, and light hair matches my features well. Taylor then said he would order a car to go get bleach (like what?) and asked me what brand was previously used. I gave him two kinds and he came back with a random blue based bleach and a 50 volume developer (which he swears up and down he didn't use on me but the blister on my scalp and down my face say otherwise. Not too mention my melted off hair. Which has never happened in my 7 years since getting a platinum card. He haphazardly (literally shaking in the bleach unmeasured from the tube and squeezing the developer from halfway across the salon) mixed together my solution while explaining "Biden Bleach"- his concept of weakened bleach every since Biden was in office. Let's be real for a second here- I should have walked away right there. But I am a people pleaser and I again was very vain about have dark roots. So this is partially my fault- note to myself and every woman out there- if it feels wrong don't do it. If they seem like a creep and talk about women as sex objects- run and don't look back. Back to the hair though- so he starts applying a foamy bleach mixture to my head, which is a no no for two reasons. One- the back of your head has the most heat and processes faster so your front is done way before the top of your hair and two- a foamy/expanding bleach meant my bleach was getting overlapped. Both of these things are basic rules? At this point I was concerned- but didn't see the 50 volume- or I would have washed it off immediately and left. Once he had slapped the bleach all over my head he said he needed to leave for 5 minutes. This happened multiple times throughout the process and I was left alone while he did... whatever he was doing (he came back more manic every time but I did not witness anything). He came back and bragged about how he cheated on his girlfriend in hair-school, ghosted her for a month, then took her home when she was with another "rival stylist" in this area. He said that's why he's been having fake followers and reviews which messed with his algorithm. At this point my scalp is burning like crazy- which he said was just anxiety. In walks another client, so he takes me to the bowl to rinse. He checks my roots and says he will just tone over the yellow. Then he says we could do a second very short bleach and I would be platinum again. I agree (again what was I thinking? I didn't to be labeled as anxious and difficult- Taylor is good at getting you to believe in his "mojo") so again the bleach is slapped on and he puts his headphones in while he does a partial on another client "because she talks to much". I tell him my scalp is actually on fire (which I now know was blistering skin and not anxiety) and he agrees is rinse it. The other girl leaves to go to the bathroom and he comments on how flirty she is with him and that she is slutty but he has too much "mojo" to mess with. He sends her outside and begins to tone my hair in the chair. As the brush starts running through, my hairs strings and snaps like wet spaghetti into it. At this point we both knew. He started making excuses about how pretty I was and he only took beautiful clients, but my hair needed a different rhythm. Again I told him EXACTLY how to do my hair from the second text message we had to again that day- at any point he could have said no- this isn't his expertise.

Hair changes over time. You want to look your best. Are you 20's looking for a blond hair stylist genius? Or have you crossed 60 and refuse to "admit your decade"? Here's what 64 looks like with Taylor. (Real photos). Following this will be five reasons why you should try Taylor if you truly want authentic blonde hair for the rest of your life. Have you had your share of her experiences and now you are looking for a cross between a Renaissance artist, an alchemist, a rockstar musician, and a blonde hairstylist expert? You've come to the right place. Taylor Brittain is THE BLONDBAR. His studio is a whimsical, funky, artistic, "micro salon" in the middle of the heart of Atlanta, where you can get artistry for your blonde hair. After working with professional models in many photo shoots during my career, and having blonde hair myself, I was privileged to work with hairstylists and colorists of my choice. When I moved to Atlanta, (and traversed certain age milestones), I knew that like working out and fitting into my highschool size was sometimes easier than handling my blonde hair. After years of "blond upkeep", being "spoiled" with hair care, and even some years navigating through hair disaster recovery, finding that Perfect Hair Designer all over again in Atlanta, for my never ending beautiful blond hair needs - was going to be a makeover challenge. Hair grows fast . Though I was blessed like my mother (who died in her 70s without a gray hair) now into my 60s, my dark hair roots continue to grow out. I set an intention to attract the perfect colorist for my ever evolving blonde hair needs. It might've been Yelp or the Internet, but I remember calling five or six salons in the ATL area. Each one had an issue - couldn't get an appointment in time, went there to visit them and they were unprofessional. They didn't answer the phone and you just left a message, or some snooty person gets back to you. Hair stylist is a relationship! You want one for life! Number one. Easy Booking. Taylor picked up the phone right away. On a Sunday! He picks up the phone to speak to you personally or gets back to you right away. Number two. Professional. Taylor took the time to see if I was a good match for his skill set and scheduled an appointment to meet to see if if help me with my hair. Number three. Location. He's in a great spot good parking easy to get to in the heart of Atlanta. Number four. Talent. After meeting Taylor for a little while. It became clear that not only was he an artist - but he's also a "rockstar" in the literal sense. He usually has a few guitars hanging on the wall. (He started as a rock musician and he's also a fine artist, oil painter, and Photographer/videographer). That talent - I quickly discovered - extends right out to his hair artistry, as yet another aspect of his constant seeking for performance and perfection for every hair client. Number five. Specialized. Unlike many do-it-all hairstylist and colorists that I have met, he is a true craftsman and lifelong student in his specialty. Several times a year I have known him to fly across the country, just to take a specific training class, or to work with a specific stylist or product or company, just to pick up a new technique in blonde hair from other schools or experts. His techniques are ever fresh, ever creative, and he works in an artistic manner with each hair treatment to bring out the Blonde that you truly are. Oh, and he's funny. PS two phots are real & two photos are obviously AI. (My AI alter ego - and maybe inspiration for my future blonde extensions experiment with Taylor.) Call Taylor now for your next blonde experience. You'll be glad and feel like your beautiful blond self. read more

Taylor is serious about getting blonde hair right! I do highlights with him and I'm never disappointed. I was there with another client and our color was completely different blondes. Both of us were really happy! read more

Ummm all I can say is what the actual.... I called this morning to get pricing on a full set of highlights and word for word this was what I was met with "Well how much of regrowth do you have because I'm not going to go cross country for your hair but if it's in the stratosphere than maybe. And I don't do old women's hair. I only do young women's hair because they're easy, you know? Old women just come in and start bitching." I wish I was kidding. I'm 27 years old so I don't even know why he started talking about old vs young? My fiancé was just staring at me in literal disbelief as he heard this conversation unfold. It's a shame because it looks like they do blonde hair well, but honestly that conversation was so cringe worthy that I literally had to tell him it made me uncomfortable and hang up. read more

To say Tyler is amazing is an understatement. He literally transformed my brassy, dull, awful highlights I received at a nearby salon. I've been searching for the right colorist for over four years and I am continually disappointed no matter how much money I spend. So many stylist are overrated on Yelp and have misguided me time and time again. He only had 2 reviews, so I was skeptical, but wanted to give him a try - maybe it was a gut feeling? I am so thankful that I found him just 11 days before my wedding. I would never even consider going anywhere else. His prices are amazing and he is a crazy genius!!! I am completely obsessed with his work and my new hair. Incredibly thankful and can't wait to see him again soon. Look at the comparison pics that I posted showing his work vs. the terrible brassy/sparse highlights I received prior (for twice the price of Tyler) by one of the "best colorists in Sandy Springs". THANK YOU TYLER! You are my freaking hero. read more

I honestly don't even know where to begin with this review, I was looking at streamly forward to going to the salon as I have been platinum blonde for several years. I just moved back to the South and was looking for a specialist, I found Taylor and the salon through Instagram and was so excited to get my hair done here, I told all my friends about it and knew I was going to leave with the most beautiful hair. When I showed up they didn't have the products he had on dirty clothes which he had to apologize for...(him and his assistant left me there while they went to get product) he acted as if he did not know what I was there for, when we had multiple messages through Instagram stating that I just wanted my hair brightened up a little bit for my wedding instead he did a full root retouch/ a bleach and tone but he didn't even do that himself his assistant did while he ran in and out of the salon doing random things like buying flowers Etc although I didn't mind that she was doing my hair I certainly wasn't paying for her to do it I was paying for him because I thought he was the best in the area. The next thing that happened was he told her to not put olaplex in my mixture which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard sense us blondes go so often for him to suggest that his assistant shouldn't put that in and should put sugar in place of that is ridiculous. I understand that sweet and low or sugar can be used to help the scalp not burn but you do not use it in place of olaplex. The salon had not been cleaned there was still hair and the chair from the person before me the floor was completely dirty it looked trashed in there even his assistant complain the whole time and says she hated his mess and that she was always cleaning up because he was so dirty, also she rolled her eyes at pretty much everything he said because he was so spaced out. Before I went in my hair color was perfectly even all exactly the same color I just wanted a little brightened up, when I left that's the complete opposite of what I got. When I left my hair was extremely fragile and pieces were coming out of my head oh, yes I understand anyone reading this may say well you are platinum blonde that's going to happen but I've been doing my hair for quite a while and I've never had this happen before it's because they didn't use the correct products and they didn't put care into what was being put into my head and mind you he didn't even or she rather didn't even pull the color through so for me to be losing hair is a little ridiculous and just to top everything off there were still some places with roots showing underneath and the whole back of my hair underneath when you pull it up wasn't even toned. My fiance who doesn't even know anything about hair LOL even seen the DraStic difference underneath. I sent a message to the salon they confirmed that what they did was wrong which doesn't get the Integrity of my hair back but at least he did refund my money so that's about the only positive thing I can say about him but that doesn't cover the cost of me having to do additional conditioning treatment because of his poor service and unprofessionalism. To be kind and not leave this on a completely sour note oh, I know he is fully capable of doing beautiful hair and I'm sure also that he could leave some Integrity to the hair but I would be cautious because honestly you just never know what you make it. The only way to contact him is via phone or Instagram so I also had a friend try to book with him and he cancels appointments last minute so I would say go here if you're willing to take the risk but don't let the awesome Instagram pictures full you into thinking this is some magical salon and he's the only one that can do beautiful blonde. read more

I've been seeing Taylor for just over a year now and love his work. If you are blonde and in the area, I highly recommend seeing him. I love that he includes Olaplex with every color service. He also uses more foils than anyone I've ever seen. His prices are extremely reasonable. He is also brutally honest about your hair which I like - he cuts through the bullshit! read more

I have been going to Taylor to get my hair dye and cut for past four years and he has changed the way I look. I have recommended many of my female friends to him and they were more than satisfied with his expertise in blonde hair coloring. read more

BEST COLORIST IN ATLANTA!!! I have been a client of Taylor's for 4 years now. I have sent my mom, sisters, friends and anyone I know with blonde hair to the Blonde Bar! I've been getting highlights since I was 13 and have always struggled to find a hair stylist that can give me that bright blonde that gets it platinum. If you are in need of a hair stylist for highlights I highly recommend calling and making an appointment! You can see my hair color on my Instagram @alleianicole . read more

When I first moved to Atlanta I tried a couple of other hairdressers Until Taylor actually walked up to me in a coffee shop and talked to me about my hair. I'm so thankful he did because he has done a beautiful job and I wouldn't go to anyone else. Most hairdressers when low lighting my hair tend to pull red. Taylor has done a perfect, beautiful job in giving me a beautiful blonde with gorgeous highlights. I highly recommend him to anyone read more

Taylor is really great at what he does. I moved to Atlanta from Miami Beach and year and a half ago and he's the only person I've let touch my hair since Mark at McAllister. I am Hispanic and have a different thicker and slightly coarser hair texture which can be easily damaged and Taylor has been very careful when bleaching it and taken me up many levels without damage. His prices are also very fair and he's always available....just don't let him do your taxes. read more

Made me very uncomfortable. The entire appointment he talked about himself. He continuously talked about all the "hoes" he fucks and degraded women, stories of him shoplifting, and how cool he thinks he is. This is the most unprofessional, weird salon I have been to. I say that because he posts videos of sparklers going out of his asshole, cringe-worthy freestyles, and selfie videos of him lying in bed naked listening to music. In addition, he invited me to his apartment and I have only gone to this "salon" once (which even if I went more than once, still NOT okay to ask a costumer to do). Plus, in the middle of the appointment he started playing his guitar in attempts to impress me or something. The "salon" is the size of a closet and an absolute mess. Ladies, please save your time and book with a professional, clean colorist who will not make you want to vomit from discomfort. read more

let me start by saying this guy is a total creep. He talked about how he sleeps with all of his clients the entire appointment. Not only that, but he actually talked in depth about his sex life... to a random client?!!! He uses filters in all of his photos of before and after so you don't see what he actually does. Overall, I would rather pay the extra money to go to a more professional and honest blonde specialist. read more

I made my appointment a week in advance and called to confirm my appointment. Tyler confirmed my appointment only to call me at 8:30pm the night before to cancel and unable to work me in for an appointment. Bad business. If you have a busy schedule and appointments are important for you to keep... I wouldn't suggest scheduling with him. read more

Taylor destroyed my hair! The placement of color was done well but he completely fried my hair. I have lost 3/4 of my hair which has broken off at the root since and the remaining 1/4 is extremely dried and fried. I have only gotten my hair professionally done and don't use heat. He was also extremely unprofessional, degrading towards women, and messy. He referenced to women as sluts and told me how he has sex with all his clients. Not only did he make me feel objectified and uncomfortable but my hair is damaged beyond repair. read more

I LOVE Taylor! He got my hair the exact blonde I wanted and took extra time just to make it perfect. He's also really funny. Sometimes people take his humor the wrong way simply because they are sensitive and get easily offended.. but he's not rude at all. I definitely laughed the whole time I was in his chair and he gave me a whole list of hair techniques to tell my other hair stylist to do on my hair since I do not live in Atlanta anymore. He listens to what you want and it shows. read more

Taylor is literally the best person to do your hair if your a blonde. He takes his time and uses lots of foils to make sure you get the blonde you want and without damaging it. Also is so reasonable with pricing for the amount of time he spends on your hair. 10/10 read more

Taylor does amazing hair! He specializes in blonde, but does a pretty dope job with red too. He's been my go to hair stylist since moving to Atlanta! I would highly recommend especially for anyone wanting to go blonde or highlights . read more

Normally, the Blonde Bar specializes in Women's hair and color but a friend recommended Taylor to me and I went in. I got a great hair cut and some advice on a better style for me. I get complements all the time on my hair and I'll definitely go back to keep my hair looking good. read more

Taylor from The Blonde Bar is an absolute wizard. He totally transformed my brassy blonde into a beautiful California blonde. This man knows exactly what he is doing. 10/10 would recommend and I will definitely be going back. Finally found my perfect hairdresser after searching for 2 years in Atlanta. read more
