They won't even admit with the mistakes they made. Don't go here, spend a little bit extra money and actually go to professionals. If you want your money back, they fight with you. They won't give you their tip back because they believe they deserve it. The shop is a scam and unfortunately, I got the blunt end of that. I went in for a balayage which I showed to Ron, and he told me he could do that after he asked another hairstylist four times what to do. I should've known and seen all the red flags. Ron brags about his 35+ years of experience, but do these pictures look like that to you? All I'm going to say is don't go here. They have no integrity, they let you leave their shop looking a hot mess and then they lie about the results. Then they fight with you about what's the reality. Don't go here.

I think they are deleting my google review so here it is:…read more 2-week UPDATE: Dropped from 4 stars to 2 because I got heat damage after explicitly sharing my concern and the stylish told me 'They use a great heat protectant'. I honestly should have know better when I realized no one in the shop had their natural hair showing. The damage isn't extreme but its disheartening after I trusted a salon. They also didn't give me anything special for my hydration treatment, my hair feels the same as before aside from the trim. If you don't care about your curls go right ahead and book, but if you're a curly girl, think twice. I came in for a Silk press with hydration treatment and trim. This was my first visit and I was dealing with major split ends over the past few months and know I needed a proper trim as I have been growing out a permed, pixie for about two years. Yoycelyn did the majority of my service and she was amazing!!! As a tender headed - curly girl I appreciated that she took her time sectioning, detangling, and answering my questions including how long she would leave me at the dryer. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was issues with time management. I had to wait 30 minutes to get started (I had an appointment not a walk in) with a different stylish who, after shampooing, did not section my hair when applying the hydration treatment, and, then, I was left under the dryer for 40+ minutes until I pushed the hood up on my own accord. After that, Yoycelyn took over and was a gem. However, these delays end up turning a 1hr 15 minute appointment into 3 hours. I will update my review depending on how my hair reverts. If all goes well, I would go back, but book Yoycelyn specifically!

UPDATE : I made an attempt to speak with Bubba in hopes to have a professional conversation re: my hair and retrieving part of my money back ($140 minus the cost of supplies used and tip given). What I ended up involved in was a finger pointing, name calling session handed to me by this man. Although I did not allow him to speak down to me as he was, and told him to lower his tone when he began to raise his voice to me, he proceeded to do so and continually told me I should have come to him for a third time hair fix. I explained to him the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over expecting different results. Since he wasn't able to fix my hair or cut it the short style I had asked twice for, I chose to go somewhere else and am simply asking for 75% of what I paid, back. I have the right not to go to someone who messed up my hair twice in a row and felt I should be given a partial refund. Once again he raised his voice and speaking to me in a very catty like manner. I could go on but the thought of what I had to go through and still no professionalism on his part but rather not. Lastly, when I explained I would rather settle this out of a court setting, he threatened to sue me for slander for expressing my unsatisfactory experience with him on Yelp! Hmmm....I wonder if he realizes this is what Yelp! is for? Better yet, I wonder if he realizes he means libel, not slander since slander is the spoken word and libel is the written? Probably not. I will say there is a very good part to this experience and that is Caitlyn and Eddie. Eddie took my phone calls and was very professional and helpful with submitting messages to Cailyn. Caitlyn called me back within a short amount of time and has been working with me to get some sort of rectification. We shall see. Both individuals are a class act and great stylists from what I have heard and witnessed while there. The best part of all this is I now have a beautiful haircut and color which I wanted in the first place at Bob Steele Salon on Paces Ferry by a stylist named Amanda. She is PHENOMINAL!! . read more

Pennsylvania's idiot governor has the entire state shut down and I really needed a haircut. Flights from Philly to Atlanta were cheap, and I chose this place based on reviews. I wasn't disappointed. I called for an appointment one day prior, and they got me in a perfect slot. I'm a barber pole shop guy - or at least I was. Starting with a shampoo and a hot towel to start, I then got a phenomenal cut - shorter than I usually do (at my request) and it looks great. Bubba does an awesome job and gave me exactly what I wanted. If feckless governor doesn't get us open in six weeks, I'll definitely go back. In fact, may take my wife before that. So to recap the day, drive to Philly airport. Fly to ATL, Uber to William Craig, get haircut, Uber back to airport, get wings and a beer at Buffalo Wild Wings, fly back to Philly, arrive 7-1/2 hours after I left. That's a good day! read more

The "down to earth" atmosphere allows customers to feel comfortable and relaxed...almost like a spa!

I asked for a TRIM, emphasis on the word TRIM! and LONG layers with curtain bangs. My hair used to be down to my butt, now it is right below my chest. I really don't like people cutting my hair, but my relative came here before and had a decent experience, so I decided to come here as well. Jessica cut my hair. I told her to only cut about an inch off and even gave her a reference photo. I demonstrated with my fingers how much to cut as well. She said okay and started cutting right away. My hair ended up 8 inches shorter!!! The layers are so short and the bangs aren't even close to what I imagined. After the cut, I was sent to receive a shampoo. The man there did very well and it was relaxing with the massage. That was the only good part about this experience. After I was done shampooing, they both blow dried my hair then she started to put a hot iron on it--with no heat protectant. After that, she started cutting more again. It was uneven because she didn't even bother to fix my middle part after the wash. I asked her if she could fix my part, but she told me that it's okay and to just put it any kind of way. Seriously? I paid 60+ tip, which I shouldn't have even done. I didnt realize how short it was until I left. I screamed inside of my car because I was so angry.

He said to grow it out another month and scheduled the perm. She was so excited and he assured her he could achieve what she wanted. Unfortunately, that clearly did not happen. She left and called me in tears too embarrassed to say anything and out $340 for nothing more than a traumatic salon experience. There are no curls whatsoever. The rods used were way too big for her short hair. This is essentially a root lift. Not what she asked for. The cut is shorter and choppier than what she wanted in the back. The rods were all over the place and not in line, causing her hair part to be jagged considering there are no curls to cover it. I called the store and asked to speak with the owner. I keep getting the run around and more excuses I'm not buying. This is unacceptable at any reputable salon which means this clearly isn't one. After several run around calls with the front office coordinator, Cartez graciously offered to fix her hair, but how can we trust him when he couldn't do it the first time and has so many other terrible reviews naming him between here and google. I keep being told Tiffany will call me. That was Thursday. Now it won't be until Tuesday. If I don't hear anything by Tuesday I am coming in person to be dealt with. I'm not being ignored or gaslit. This is wrong, unethical and fucked up to charge someone such an astronomical amount for something they did not ask for and then gaslight them into thinking they know what they are doing. Cartez shamed her for going to a barber shop, rushed because his next client came in, and really took advantage of the pink tax by charging her 88 dollars for a women's cut, while by the looks of other comments a mens is somewhere around 40. Like I said I'm not buying the excuses being told via the middleman, and I don't care to be a Karen when it is warranted. If this isn't resolved I will literally not stop shitting about it online. Tiffany, call me please.

First haircut since I moved here from Brooklyn- my wavy/ curly hair had not been cut since August…read more2023- and the whole experience wildly exceeded my expectations. First of all, Rutabaga salon = John. So, no distractions. Chill environment, John has quiet confidence & is comfortable in his skin, so you are instantly at ease. You can just be yourself. (Not every salon or stylist is like this- sometimes it feels like poser central & it's just exhausting.) We talked about what I wanted, he washed my hair, and cut it- conversation flowed easily, but I also sensed that if I just wanted to be quiet that would have been fine also. But- let's talk about the cut! Layers can go very wrong with my hair, so I have avoided them for 5 years. Length weighs my curls down so that it is wavy. When it is cut: boing! And my curl pattern is irregular. I don't blow it dry. My styling method is: wet my hair. Add non-silicon leave in conditioner (As I Am, Camille Rose, JVN). Maybe a little salt spray or tiny bit of oil once it dries. John, of course, knew this, because he *asked*. Post haircut- I wake up- my hair looks great. My hair looks amazing wet, too. The layers frame my face and don't do anything weird-- you have NO idea how many times that has not been the case. [The last time I had layers it was a "precision" cut and the stylist used some kind of cream full of beeswax that my porous hair sucked up. I looked like I had a wig. And of course that was the week I had my corporate head shot.] So, TL; DR: Reasonably priced, first-rate haircut. Focused, expert stylist who will put you at ease. TWO TIPS: parking for the salon is on E. Howard, so make the turn either right after you cross the railroad tracks or right before- depending on which way you are going. Book in advance!! Unsurprisingly, he stays busy. I booked my March appointment in February- it was well worth the wait, but don't expect to call & get a slot straightaway.
