Wanda is an amazing, beautiful Stylist. She has an extraordinary gift of cutting hair and attention to detail. Love her!

A fabulous salon! Josh is the best! However all stylists at this salon are great! I would be comfortable going to any one of the stylists read more

Jade is AMAZING! I am a natural redhead who is older and want to keep my original color. She is an artist with matching color to my original. Not an easy thing to do usually. I highly recommend Jade. read more

Perfect cuts and color by very talented staff!! Excellent service! Highly recommend!!

I moved down to Georgia the beginning of 2025 from the NJ/NY metro area. I hadn't had my hair colored since the end of 2024. I got a great recommendation from a woman whose hair I admired. Sienna at Van Michael Salon in Sandy Springs gave me the best base color/highlights/lowlights I've ever had. She works her magic with color! Thank you, Sienna! read more

Hannah gives me the best haircuts I've ever had in my entire life. She's exceptional with short, fine hair, and she's very meticulous. Love her. And Henson is awesome with coloring/highlights. Looks very natural, and he's always very patient with my demands. The place is pricey, but to me, it's worth it. I love both Hannah and Henson and highly recommend them both. read more

David was terrific! I love my haircut and appreciate his precision. Also enjoyed our conversation!

I very much appreciated my stylist. He listened to me and followed my instructions explicitly. His knowledge and expertise & attention to detail was impeccable and delivered on a style custom tailored for me that would stand the test of time weeks and months later, my hair was still beautiful and easy to manage. read more

As always, I was 10- star happy with my haircut with Jenny (have been a client for over 15 years) and partial highlights with Naomi, who did my color for the first time. Naomi and her assistant Coco were very professional, friendly and kind! My color turned out perfectly! The vibe is upscale but not intimidating or snobby - just comfortably concierge level treatment is what you can expect. All my experiences over the years at Van Michael in Sandy Springs have been the BEST! I can also recommend Laura for brows and makeup - she really knows how to maximize what I have to work with (very sparse brows with post surgical scars from skin cancer -use sun protection!). I can't say enough about how consistently each and every staff member has provided caring, professional and skilled service for the many years I have been a client. read more

My first time in this salon. Frida gave me a haircut, she was friendly and professional. Took the time to make sure I was leaving happy.

Great first experience! I was very impressed with their covid precautions when many other businesses fail to acknowledgment pandemic safety. 1. Mask required 2. Sign waiver with sanitized pencil 3. Wait while social distancing 4. Hand sanitizer available 5. Divider panels between each client 6. Salon was not scheduled to be packed I did feel safe and appreciated all their efforts! Gwendolyn was my stylist. She listened and cut my layers accordingly. She did use razor upon request for texture. Not sure why other stylists can feel uncomfortable about that. Friendly and professional. I recommend! Thanks! read more

Always a great experience at VM! Professional staff. Well trained etc. highly recommended.

Got my hair done by Avery. She was so sweet, very welcoming, and did a fantastic job. She gave me exactly what I wanted and taught me about my hair while she did it. Will definitely visit again. read more

Violet asked all the right questions about my haircut needs. I love her work and my new cut. Im already scheduled with her through July.

Blunt cut bob by Gwendolyn. Awesome cut yesterday, and was accomplished with my face half covered by a mask. She took the time to finish the edges, which most stylists in my experience don't do these days. Super important if you wear your hair straight. Highly recommend! read more

So I've been in search of a new hair stylist for a few months. I've tried a couple of places that just weren't a good fit. Van Michael's in Sandy Springs is just what I have been looking for!!! The structure it's self is neat and organized. The upstairs is for cuts and the downstairs is for color. I personally love that color is downstairs because minimizes the amount of people who see looking like a space alien with all the fools in my hair!!:) I had no wait time! My appointment was at 7pm and my stylist was ready right at 7pm sharp! The stylist are at different price points depending on if they are "New Talents" or veterans. I went to Chris (who is so fun and friendly). He's a vet and the cost of my cut was $80. Also, I was out in about an hour, which is great!! I went from shoulder length hair to a bob. So an hour was a great time! I received a short head and neck massage prior to my cut. After a long day at work it was just what the doctor ordered! Overall, I left feeling relaxed and excited to show off my new do! I would def recommend this place!! read more

I'm so grateful to finally have someone that listened and does a beautiful job cutting my hair

1st time client. My stylist was Elle. She took her time and did a beautiful job. She was very friendly and easy to talk too. She did my hair exactly the way I wanted it done! When I made the made the appointment I specifically asked for the $35 haircut because I simply just wanted two inches cut off. They confirmed that was going to be the price of my haircut When I went to check out they said I owed $55. I refused and said I was paying $35. I didn't appreciate the misunderstanding. My haircut did last 2 hours. Anyways I'd highly recommend Elle. She did an amazing job!!!!! read more

DON'T BE FOOLED!!! I had been a Client of Van Michael Salon, until I found out many unethical things went on. Not to mention, you think you're getting color that actually last...well don't be fooled again, this business intentionally does not provide Color Services that last...The Horrible Lights makes your hair appear so unrealistic and not truly what it will appear in all light, daylight evening etc. Let me add, how the lack of cleanliness lacks at Van and Michael's Salon. Dirty Brushes, combs and the Sterilization is quite unsanitary. I have experienced this many times. What is so sad is, it's let's see how many heads we can do , because this place of business is all about money. Many unprofessional things go on at this place of business. Including lies and accusations. For example if you have a beautiful head of hair, which takes lot's of TLC, Van & Michael employees are trained and or (it takes too long) I might add if you have a redo or want glaze, they will create a fuss read more

I called around 4:15pm and got an appointment for 5pm. All I needed was a cut that wouldn't drive me insane when I'm styling it in the morning. The stylist I was assigned did a FANTASTIC job of listening to my wants and needs. He even asked about my styling routine. And when I told him I wanted it thinned out, he didn't balk or look at me like I'm crazy like most stylists do. We talked about the exact length I wanted and I was pleasantly surprised that- in fact- my style did end up at that length (not shorter, like I usually end up getting with other stylists). This location is a lot more inviting than the Buckhead one, which I've only been to once before. Perhaps it's because I went on a Sunday evening, but it felt like a real salon whereas at the Buckhead location I felt like I was being herded like cattle. So now I'm actually considering driving to Sandy Springs every time I want my hair cut. Hmmmm... read more

I love seeing DJ for haircuts. Whether I'm trying to grow it out or want something new he always does a great job. The customer service here has always been great as well. read more

I called to get service for a flat iron and it took twenty minutes just to find out they were basically only available for a different day, truthfully I think they are afraid of working with "curly" hair. My hair takes 45mins to wash/blow dry and flat iron , if you doubt your staff talent u should just require a consultation. At least u remain professional Service is lacking read more

After my issue I had with the receptionist canceling my appt the manager Nina has contacted me and booked an appt with two wonderful stylists all complimentary. She was very kind, apologetic and sincere. I could tell she had a good heart. I am so happy with my cut and color and will be returning. Thank you so much. Your kindness really meant a lot to me. Good customer service is hard to find! Thank you again. read more

Van Michael Salon - I haven't had my hair this short in decades!!! But I love it!!!!! The cut and color is flawless! - Hair Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have been going to Van Michael's in Sandy Springs for 5 years. Today for the 4th time in a year my color appointment was cancelled. We all know how difficult it is to get a hair appointment in December. A message was left telling me my colorist, who does an Amazing job on my color, had to cancel my appointment. I HAD MADE THE APPOINTMENT TWO MONTHS IN ADVANCE. There was no attempt made to ask or suggest another colorist. I AM DONE WITH VAN MICHAELS. I called a manager I think her name was Sarah, told her what was going on and she could have cared less. I said why was I not offered another appointment? Her response we dont have any today, but still did not say let me see what I can do to get u in this week. Did not offer any kind of compensation, you have to pay for your services she said when I asked about some kind of compensation for having my service cancelled yet again. I will NEVER return to Van Michael's at any location they don't care about their clients . Van Michael's has lost a client of 5 years. SO DISAPPOINTING. UPDATE: I have heard nothing from Van Michael's no comment no call no follow up. That says it all. They do not care about their customers. I found a new salon check out @cherryblossomsalon Kristen is amazing!! See ya Van Michael's read more

Great salon. Been going there for over 20 years. Christopher is awesome! Best haircuts ever!!!

I had the worst haircut of my life at this place. I was going from a short bob to a long pixie and the guy completely butchered it. He seemed confident and I had had him trim my hair a couple months earlier which he was fine at doing. He had no clue at all how to cut a pixie He really had no business accepting the job. I told him it was the worst haircut I'd ever had when I was done and I didn't charge me and they sent me to a more experienced stylist at a different location to fix it. I think this stylists at this chain are trained to do specific cuts and they're not very good at making those cuts work for individuals. read more

Today was my first time at the Sandy Springs location. I can accept the 4.5 hours of waiting for my daughter's hair (had to redo bc first stylist didn't use enough foils). I can accept that my daughter left with her hair wet because we couldn't wait the 5th hour to finish the treatment which we paid for. I can even accept the $600 spent today for our 2 treatments. However, I cannot accept that there was no "I'm sorry" or any sign of concern for customer satisfaction. When a manager responds "I am aware " it shows me that they do not value our business. read more

I went to the Sandy Springs location and visited the new talents for a cut. My stylist was Amber, who was very nice and seemed like she knew what she was doing. We talked a while about what I wanted, I have long curly hair and a great base cut so all I really needed was for her to trim off my dead ends and shape up my layers. Instead of doing what we talked about she completely butchered my hair, cut about 4 inches off the bottom and did a horrible job with the layers, the cut I ended up with is completely rectangular which does not work with curly hair. I am going to see a different stylist today at the Buckhead location and hopefully he can fix it. Overall, my haircut experience (besides the cut) was great, the people were nice and everything but the haircut itself was fine. However, I would much rather deal with a rude staff or a long waiting time if the stylist knew how to cut my hair. I want to give Amber the benefit of the doubt that she is a good stylist, but if you have curly hair you're better off with someone else. Needless to say, I won't be going back. read more

I made an appointment for keratin at 3:00. I arrived 20 minutes early because i had never been and wanted to get the feel for the salon. I was checked in, temp checked and told to sit and wait. There were as many as 15 people in the front of salon where i was waiting between stylists, customers at any one time. My stylist finally appeared at 3:40. He was 40 minutes late, No apology or explanation given. I was expecting a keratin product and service commensurate with the $300.00 price, $200.00 of which was pre paid at the time i booked the service. I was totally disappointed by both the product and the service. I have been getting keratin for 10 years and never paid more than $200.00 but was willing to go to a superior salon and pay for a superior product. I left the salon at 6:00 after being there 3 hrs and 20 minutes with dull, dry, sticky hair. My stylist was nice but did a terrible job from start to finish. read more

I've been going to Van Michael's Sandy Springs location for almost as long as I've lived in GA, which is four years. I usually see people at the New Talents portion of the salon, where newer stylists and colorists are in training. I've been going there long enough that my regular colorist, Chrissy, is now over on the Van Michael side. The price difference is not a huge deal for me because Chrissy never lets me down. She's patient and a good listener. I always do red, but I've done everything from cherry bomb to dark auburn, bordering on brown. I was laid off last year and told her I needed a color that would last a REALLY long time because I wasn't sure when I'd be able to see her again. She mixed up a shade that was about halfway between the red I usually use and my natural color (dark blonde). It faded out so nicely and naturally, I actually asked her to do it again once I had the money to come back! Now that it's summer, I'm back to a brighter shade again. My luck hasn't been as good with haircuts. Don't get me wrong: they're always awesome. My problem is that all the people I've liked have left! That's the risk you run when you visit a teaching salon, unfortunately. My last regular stylist was Sean, and he was AMAZING. Then he moved to the Virginia Highlands location. I loved Sean, but I go to the Sandy Spring salon because it's a stone's throw from my home and workplace. Virginia Highlands is not convenient for me. Hopefully I'll be able to update my review in a few months when I find another great stylist... and hopefully they won't leave for another location before I get the chance to write the review. ;) read more

I've been going to Van Michael Talents for 20yrs. to all their locations. Absolutely never any complaints. I phoned this week to book an appointment and was told I would need extra time even though it was a basic hair cut nothing out of the ordinary (no thick hair, no extensions etc.). The charge being $75. When I questioned the reason "because I was new to the stylist". Well New Talents are trainees and eventually graduate. So more than likely I will get a new stylist for all my visits. "That doesn't matter". In the past I have never had to pay for extra time please look at my history. "Yes you have extra time needed to all the visits you have come to". I have never been told, the stylist never took extra time, and the cost did not reflect extra time needed. So I cancelled. read more

I've been going here for years. My stylist is Chris Barrett and he is awesome! Chris takes notes each and every time he cuts my hair, so he knows how we last styled it and what we're trying to accomplish. I always get compliments on my haircuts and never leave with a bad cut. I recommended him to one of my friend's and she said it was the best hair cut she ever had. I'm almost hesitant to recommend him, as I don't want to make my scheduling difficult ;) read more

I went to this salon when I had a color disaster. The staff booked me with Danielle. That was well over a year ago, and I never let anyone else color my hair. The staff are always friendly and I always recieve a text and phone call reminder that I have an appointment. Danielle's assistants are always cheerful and do a wonderful job styling my hair afterwards. I cannot express how wonderful Danielle has been with my hair and I would recommend her to anyone, especially someone with thin and damaged hair like mine. The only downside is that everyone else seems to have discovered that she is so amazing and it is hard to get an appointment with her! Book in advance. She is worth every penny, as well as the rest of the staff there! read more

Ive been going to Van Michael's for years! I never leave disappointed. My amazing colorist, Capri, always makes sure I am comfortable and happy. I never feel like Im just getting my hair done by a stranger, rather it always feels like I am getting taken care of by a friend. I would never go to anyone else. read more

DON'T MISS ! I moved from Manhattan , so I was "spoiled " by top work there. And I had my hair styled and colored in London, for years, so when I moved to Atlanta, I panicked, until I found Van Michaels in Sandy Springs where I discovered hair stylist, Jamison and colorists Sadie! Both are exceptional . My husband also has his hair cut by Jamison - upscale, and hip. I have never had better hair color . Jamison & Sadie are dynamos. Other hair cuts are yawners, compared to Jamison's work, and other hair colorists don't leave my hair looking "A-List". Both Jamison and Sadie are down to earth, true professionals. Oh. Henson also a colorist who's work I recommend must be mentioned. In addition, the management at this wonderful salon is top notch. read more

I came to Van Michael for (among other things when I'm in town over the years) hair and makeup for my wedding. I cannot speak highly enough to the experience I had! Jenny did my hair, and it was perfect. I had a trial with her a couple of months before the wedding, and while it was beautiful, it started hurting and falling apart a few hours after I left the salon. As I live out of town and wouldn't get another chance to see her until, literally, my wedding day, I was pretty nervous I'd have a hair disaster. But when I met with her the day of my wedding, she could not have made it more perfect. First, she cleared out my family and gave me a much-needed hour of pampering. Second, I described my issues with the hair trial, and she totally solved every one. My hair looked perfect for 12 hours, and I never felt a single hair pin. If you have a LOT of curly, thick hair, and need a wedding up-do, Jenny is your girl. I also worked with Laura on my (and my bridesmaids) makeup. She is so sweet and calming. I am not a big makeup wearer, and she gave me a face that was pretty, flawless, and felt like nothing. I could have slept in that makeup and woken up looking basically perfect. One tip-- because they have to use disposable mascara wands, if you want a big eyelash look, bring your own mascara! She'll apply it, but you'll have the benefit of the fancy brush. My eyelashes still looked amazing, though. Because we had a very teeny wedding party, we had our appointments in the salon, which was actually really fun and efficient. Jenny and Laura are the best, and one of the few reasons I wish I lived in Atlanta! read more

Great place and very friendly staff. I have curly hair and always go to Piper. She always does a great job and gets what I'm asking for! I live in the west coast but usually come back home for my haircut so I can go here. Their prices are good and they don't try to push me to buy products every time I come here. read more

This past Saturday I went to Brian at this location & had him cut about 7 inches off of my hair. HE DID SO AWESOME! I can honestly say that in my 27 years on this earth, I've never been so happy with a cut as much as this one. I was super nervous about cutting all my hair off, but Brian assured me it would be amazing - he was right. It looks EXACTLY like I wanted it to. If you need an AWESOME cut, go to Brian @ Van Michael in Sandy Springs. He's the bee's knees. read more

I only get my hair cut every 12-15 months, so I don't have a lot of experiences in salons to compare and contrast different places. I don't color my hair, rarely dry it, don't really use product, and try to shampoo only every 2-3 days. I'm LOW maintenance when I come to hair. But I've been loyal to Van Michael, especially New Talents, for at least a decade. I appreciate that as someone who doesn't really do salons, every stylist I've seen has been respectful, listening to what I want, realizing that I'm not going to put a lot of effort into my do, not trying too hard to upsell me on product, and overall make it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I also love the mini head, neck, & shoulder massage and the clean and refreshing smell of the products. read more
