Tommy's hair salon is where I go for the best cut for straight hair in Atlanta. The best hair wash service ever. The best cut. I have gone to Tommy for cuts on & off for 20 years. I only stopped because I had thought it was too far, then I had a bad accident & 3 years of surgery & physical therapy. Now I am back & really it isn't as far as I had thought & he gives a great haircut. He doesn't have a fancy salon but it is nice. He is why I return & his associates & what he can do with my hair. I go there for hair not to feel special but he treated you special so that goes way farther than a glam salon that gives a crappy cut! read more

i've been seeing Tommy for about 15 years. I've always gotten a good haircut at a reasonable price. My hair is a bit frizzy and coarse. Just let him know what you want and he'll do exactly that. He's well trained. read more

I have been coming here for years because Tommy really knows how to cut my hair to get it to look its best. It's not expensive and he does a great job. And he remembers me even though I don't come in regularly! read more

I had a horrible experience and a horrible haircut. I would not recommend the Salon. He definitely does not know how to cut curly hair. My hair is a mess. I'm gonna have to go to another Salon. Unfortunately, he doesn't take credit cards only cash. I would dispute the charge. read more

I wanted to look good and nice so I asked them to do my hair in a way I wanted and it looked NOTHING like what I wanted I look so bad and the place is so unclean and dirty and the staff there are so rude and disrespectful people Do not recommend [stan txt] read more

Best hair stylist in Atlanta...IMO. I've been going to Tommy's for about a year and the man has skills! =. Ambiance is unpretentious no frills salon on BuHi. It's at the end of an unremarkable small shopping center. +++ Tommy is by far the best hair stylist I've come across in Atlanta! I used to go to VM for over a decade til my stylist moved out of state. Since then I've been searching for a new stylist for years. Finally tried Tommy last year...the man KNOWS, SPEAKS and UNDERSTANDS HAIR :-) It's not your usual salon but I always leave with a good cut! ++. Price is reasonable ++. Service is friendly and efficient. This is a small salon with only 2-3 people. They run on time :-)! ++. Parking is a private lot...easy spots in front of the salon. I drive 45minutes each way when my hair needs attention. Tommy's is friendly and reasonable...best of all, you can count on a very good-cut! read more

HIDDEN FREAKIN GEM!!!! Tommy is seriously a hair master! I came here based on the Yelp reviews and he did not disappoint! My hair was in need of a serious trim (super fried from bleach and heat) and tommy was able to bring life back to my hair by just cutting it! Don't come here for the ambiance or decor, it's no frills but you'll get what you came for: a freaking fantastic hair cut at a very good price. My boyfriend and I both got our hair cuts by him and were very satisfied-- so you know he can handle both men and women styles! I got a textured trim and he got a fantastic blended skin fade. For both our hairs, it was just $53 before tip. read more

No frills, clean salon like the others say and that's a-ok! Being new to the area, I was eager to find a place close enough to the city rather than trek out to Duluth for hair appointments that I don't have to book weeks out in advance. Tommy was able to fit me in the same day and it was greatly appreciated because it occurred to me that it was probably good to get a cut before baby arrives in a couple weeks. I opted to go without shampooing as I had done it already earlier in the day and walked out a happy customer at just $40 (cash only!) for woman's haircut. I simply said I wanted a trim, asked not to layer too much ahead of postpartum shedding, and entrusted Tommy to the rest. He provided simple styling suggestions and was thoughtful to not put in product for a ready-to-pop preggo. Definitely looking forward to coming back during our time in ATL. Parking is available right up front and you need to look for "One2Free Salon" right on the corner. read more

Intrigued by the 10 five-star reviews before me, I decided to give Tommy's Hair (otherwise known as One2Free Salon on the building) a try. Turned out to be a good decision! Ever heard of a hole-in-the-wall hair salon? This is IT. No frills and looks kind of like any barber shop, but they've got some skillzzzz. It's actually been in business for quite some time (over 10 years), and I would say it's a hidden gem. I was looking for a Korean hair salon, and Tommy and some of his other stylists are from Hong Kong. The cut was done with expert skill and craftsmanship, that was on par with or even exceeding the skill level of other asian hair salons in the area. The wash and shampoo was included, and was the MOST comprehensive wash and massage I've experienced thus far. I believe she washed my hair at least 2 times, conditioned, and then did a rinse of some kind. It was very therapeutic and I almost fell asleep. I was looking to trim off my damaged ends, cut off 4 inches, lighten my giant horse mane of a ponytail, and have a new look fitting to my face shape that was still versatile enough for me to style on my own. I merely showed Tommy a few pictures on the phone and in those hair magazines, and he knew what I was shooting for. Without even me saying anything, he recommended that I go with NO bangs, which was the right call for my face shape. The cut only took about 30 min or so, and the styling about 10 min with blowdrying and curling. Tommy did an awesome job, he did NOT rely on a razor to layer my hair, unless lots of stylists these days. I loved my cut, and posted before and after pictures (some of which he helped to take!). I do believe they prefer to be paid in Ca$h, so try to keep that in mind if possible! read more

I'm always on the lookout for a new hair chop spot and with all the glowing reviews my Yelp friends were heaping on Tommy's Hair, I knew I had to drive my locks over there. I'd put off getting a haircut for as long as possible but it was time, novel coronavirus or no novel coronavirus.  I called and was able to make an appointment for first thing the next day. Tommy's (AKA "One 2 Free Hair Salon") is at the end of a Buford Highway strip mall behind a freestanding auto shop; I'd never noticed it before. The salon has a couple of chairs and is basically bare-bones in decor. I was the only client for a little while but then some regulars (or at least women who seemed like regulars) drifted in.  A masked-up Jessica cut my hair, and she heeded my request for a basic trim which I appreciated. No trying to get me to do something else and it sounds like it's up to you if you want your hair shampooed or not. The haircut (no wash) took around 30 minutes which is a sweet spot for me: too quick and I feel like not enough care and precision were taken, too long and I'm itching to get on with my day. The cut was $30 cash, and I bounced out with a refreshed and vibrant mane. Thanks Jessica and Tommy's! read more

I was first to review 9 years ago & I'm here to give a non-surprising update: Tommy is still amazing. I live in San Francisco now. (Side note, I miss NYC desperately.) Yes, I flew across the country and planned a haircut while I was here instead of just getting it cut at some fancy high end, big city salon. It cost $45, with a wash, honestly it's worth so much more. TIP THEM MORE. The salon has that same nostalgia. It looks the same with the black and white checkered floors and no frills atmosphere. I don't really care about the ambiance when I 100% always leave feeling & looking amazing! Like another recent reviewer mentioned, Tommy just KNOWS hair. He knows how good it will look depending on your face and build and hair type. Just trust him. I changed my side part to a middle part--god damn gen z--& he worked with it know I'll change it back to a side part again. He gave my hair options people. He's been cutting my hair since my sisters and I were babies and now, he'll soon be cutting my nieces' hair too. It's not just loyalty. Every girl knows no amount of loyalty will keep you if you eff up her hair. Come here. Get an amazing haircut. read more

I got a haircut here about 2 months ago and I was hoping that I would grow to not hate it. However, I pretty much hate looking at the state of my hair every morning and it's probably going to take a year for my hair to grow back to an acceptable state. I was quite detailed and specific when I stated what I wanted: invisible/internal layers to help remove the weight from my very thick hair (didn't want to see any layers on the outer layer) and low maintenance since I don't blow dry nor style my hair. I even showed him pictures of my prior haircut (from a different salon), and said this is exactly what I want. He seemed to understand. Then he cuts my hair which I can't really see him doing. At the end, he says "so here is the bad news-- you'll need to blow dry your hair, otherwise your hair will look frizzy with this haircut." I'm pretty annoyed at this point because that's not what I asked for at all. But he styled/curled my hair so it was tough for me to see the exact state of my hair. I get home and proceed to literally cry for many hours over the next couple of days. I discovered that I can very much see all the layers, and the layers themselves are extremely short-- some of the shortest pieces on the OUTSIDE layer of my hair don't even reach my ears. As a result, when I wake up in the morning, my hair looks like a freaking helmet with nothing to weigh down the very very very short outer pieces of hair (I can't even really call these layers because they're not even blended). I've never had a worst haircut to be honest. He clearly didn't care about any of my preferences and did whatever he felt like. When my mother called to voice complaints, he responded saying that I probably just didn't understand my hair texture which just has to be the most unacceptable response. I've never in my entire life had to do anything to my hair to make it look decent rolling out of bed, but now I just wear my hair up all the time because it honestly looks appalling. I feel bad writing this review because it wasn't as if the experience at the time was entirely unpleasant. However, I feel like I ought to contribute my review given all the very high reviews (which I read through in detail before making an appointment). I would just never recommend a place where the hair stylist doesn't listen to you at all, and just does whatever he wants. And now I have to deal with the consequences until my hair grows out. read more

Tommy doesn't know what he is doing!!! He doesn't listen to what customer's desire. He insists on his ideas, the outcome is very awkward, awful , not professional, and not great on me. At the end of the day, I have to go to another hair designer to fix the mess. Will never go back nor recommend to anyone. read more

I've been coming to Tommy's for the past 10 years - he's the only one I really trust with my hair. Service is great and quick. He is meticulous and takes my glasses into account. Don't forget to get your hair washed as well! Great scalp massage as a start to your time here. Cash only (they do take checks as well). read more

I got my hair cut here out of desperation and I won't do ever again. She cut my hair shorter than expected and was rough and felt that she was yanking it as she was texturizing my long hair. She was not personal at all and many times, I had to say that hurts or can you not pull my hair. She washed my hair and also was rough. The hair cut and was was $35. Luckily my hair grows fast. read more

My mom has been going to Tommy for over 20 years and told me about him so I've also been seeing him for at least 10 years. I have now moved out of Atlanta and live 2.5 hours away but still make time to see him. His assistant Snow is also very sweet and gives the best hair wash with massage. I almost could fall asleep every time. He is the best stylist that always knows what would look best for my face shape. He always takes his time and makes sure you are happy with the results. read more

They booked me last minute for magic hair straightening. Lucky me! I only needed the roots touched up and they charged me a very fair price: $275. Another place wanted to charge me $350. I will definitely be going back since they did a thorough job. read more

Not the easiest place to find (Buford Highway and Mcclave) tucked in one of the ubitquitious strip malls on Buford Highway -- but it is well worth the hunt. Ask some of your besties and fashionisita friends where they get their hair straightened, blown and beautified. Dollars-to-doughnuts someone will mention Tommy. "You've got to try Tommy." So I went in search of Tommy. Found him on Buford Highway. Tucked into a sliver of shop but none-the-less -- I found him. He's a rock-star with scissors and jeans. He sizes you up. Looks closely at your hair. Analyszes your answers and your preferences. And begins cutting. Within 45 minutes I'm cut, styled and on my way out the door with a smile. This isn't Buckhead. This is efficient. Talent. A no-nonsense wash, cut and dry. Without the Pharr Road attitude. Well. . . the wash is quite something -- a thorough sudsing, head massage and rinse before you meet up with Tommy and his scissors. Cash is king here. But they will take a check once they get to know you. read more

Been coming here for 5 years for my haircuts. Absolutely love it every single time. He not only take the time to explain the different styles before he cuts, but he'll also advise you on how to take care of the type of hair you have and the best way to style it. He makes it easy for you to do it at home! I've tried a couple places for a haircut when I didn't have the time to drive out there (30-35 min drive), but never as happy as getting a cut from Tommy. read more

In a non-descript strip mall in the heart of BuHI, lies Tommy's Hair Salon. A place where a quality men's ear-lowering will only set you back $17. Quick, no-frills salon, with all the high-end styling prowess of John Edward's $400 haircut salons. I would absolutely go back here for my next haircut, if my regular place wasn't much closer. But....Tommy, I got my eye on you. read more

I have been coming to this place in the past 10 years. Tommy does a great job. My son comes to see Tommy as well. When he was in Nashville for college, he would come back to see Tommy for haircut. We trust Tommy! read more

Tommy has been my family's hair stylist for more than 15 years. Even when I moved out of the state, I got my haircut here whenever I visited my family in Atlanta. He usually takes less than 30 minutes and the style is easy to maintain after I leave the salon. read more

So this Salon is actually called One2Free Salon (thats what the sign says anyway) but my understanding is that Tommy is the owner and it would appear, only stylist here. He does have an assistant who takes phone calls, washes hair, and takes payment. I found this salon off a recommendation from a friend who has been seeing Tommy for her haircuts for years, despite having moved to another state! Well with her glowing recommendation I decided to check out Tommy's and I was very impressed! Tommy is truly a professional. He spent time analyzing my hair and gave me recommendations for the cut based on my tastes and likes/dislikes as well as my hair thickness and head shape. I was really happy with the results, and even happier with how it grew out! I will be coming to Tommy now for my haircuts for sure. Highly recommended!! read more

Just started going here and I've loved every single cut I've gotten. He's the first hair stylist I've ever had that has actually listened to me and done what I wanted. Amazing. read more

Tommy was so lovely! I have coarse, poofy hair and he was really good at catering to my hair type. Not only that, he took my face shape and busy student life style into consideration. He also gave me tips on how to maintain my hair - like using cold water when washing out conditioner. Will definitely return! read more

Tommy did an amazing job styling my hair and my son's hair as well. I will continue to use his services in the future.

I've been going to this salon for years and I'll admit I'm a guy and I love getting my haircuts here plus they give the best head/scalp massages when washing hair. They are also trained professionals that can tailor to your exact taste in styles or however you want your hair to look. read more

My sis and I wanted to get our hair cut and she wanted to go to Tommy's. The place is called One 2 Free Salon or something odd. It's at the corner of the strip. We didn't have appointments but luckily they were able to squeeze one of us in (me). I just wanted to turn my long bob into a straight cut and Tommy did just that. At one point two ppl were blow drying my hair because I know they were running short on time. I was in and out pretty fast. I will definitely return next time with an appointment. Funny: I like how Tommy analyzed my hair and told me I have thick stubborn hair lol read more

I'm a high school student, and I've literally been going to Tommy's since I was in elementary school. I was friends with one of his sons, and he and his team have been working magic with my hair ever since. I've had it cut, trimmed, shaved, bleached, dyed, and highlighted for about a decade, and they have never disappointed me. His hair advice definitely rings true, and it has saved my hair from damage and frizz countless times (as I have lots of curly, fine hair). His knowledge about other hair types and how to care for them is also refreshing, since you simply cannot cut curls the same way you'd cut straight hair. I plan on seeing him as long as I possibly can, because the service cannot be beat! read more

Yes, he is great meaning hair cuts and styling. Actually, both of them are good: Jessica and Tommy. The lady in front desk is helpful and polite. Do not expect any fancy interiors, if it is important for you , of course :))) read more

Tommy is amazing. I have been getting my hair cut and colored by him since I was fourteen. I'm now twenty eight. He cuts my dads hair, my boyfriends hair, and if my mom lived closer he would still be cutting and coloring hers. He takes the time to listen to what you need and want. He will always make sure you love it. I used to work at a big salon and I still went to tommy. Also, the way they shampoo....ughhhhh I go into a coma it's so awesome. I just can't say enough about this place. I just love them. Tommy's like family. read more

Tommy Lee is an excellent hair stylist. He has a keen eye that instinctly takes in your face shape, height of your forehead, eye shape and size to determine the best length and cut for you. Pricing is very fair. Not the frills and flattery you will get at a Buckhead salon but not the inflated price you pay for that either. A super choice for the frugal minded that want an outstanding cut and don't require false flattery. read more

Tommy has been my hair stylist for over 10 years now and I have total trust when I am in his care. The staffs are very friendly and provide excellent services. Please call early for appointment. He is always swarmed during the weekends. read more
