About

The salon was started in 1987 at Phipps Plaza by Carey Carter, Mitchell Barnes and Perri Higbie. A second location opened in Buckhead in 1996, and a year-long expansion and renovation was completed with a re-opening in March 2013. The salon describes itself as Atlanta's premier salon and as a recognized leader in the hair industry, and it says its colorists are regarded as national leaders in hair color.

For hair, the salon works with L'Oreal Professionnel color and Kerastase treatments and is an exclusive L'Oreal and Kerastase salon. Services include Keratin Complex smoothing treatments, the Great Lengths extensions system, dimensional color and corrective color. Corrective color and extensions are priced after a consultation.

Skin and makeup services include facials, a chemical peel that comes with a post-procedure skin care kit, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, and makeup using Glo Skin Beauty mineral makeup. Permanent make-up is offered too, including microshaded eyebrows, which start at $595 and require a consultation first. Waxing covers face, body and bikini areas, and brow threading is also available.

Bridal clients can book bridal style, bridesmaid's style and bridal makeup. Bridal wedding coordinators schedule the bride and wedding party, and on-site bridal services and pricing are available on request. A consultation is required before bridal style service.

The salon has been involved in community projects. In 2009 it ran a Beauty Boost event that gave free hair services and job counseling to more than 200 Atlanta residents hit by the recession. It has also raised funds for AIDS Atlanta, UNICEF, Susan G. Komen, Open Hand, Jeffery's Fashion Cares and the Alzheimer's Association. Clients can book online or by phone, and the salon sells its products on site.

Stylists and estheticians aim to address each client's hair, skin and beauty needs and offer practical advice on their next look.

The salon describes its setting as a studio salon.
