Allison is the consumate professional - with color, with style, with her approach to educating her LOYAL client base as she works with their hair. \r

Talk about a challenge! I made my first appt with Allison and showed up WITH NO HAIR. I had just completed chemo treatment for breast cancer and decided what better way to see what a stylist has in the way of confidence and knowledge then challenging them with a stranger asking ""what are you going to do with this currently bald head once my hair grows back?""\r
\r
Not only did it take imagination and guts to on Allison's part to grow my hair back successfully, but also, my hair had changed color, texture, gone from straight to curly...and Allison colored it beautifully at each step of the growing out process. \r
\r
But I did it to her again when I was diagnosed with brain cancer! I got to keep my hair but poor Allison had to make me look good while working around over a dozen stitches and bald spots from both brain surgery and radiation therapy...and she managed to do so and as I result, I am constantly complimented on my hair.\r

Allison observes the nuances of children's hair color and seeks to put the variations and subtelties of those palettes into her coloring, resulting in such naturally beautiful color. She has a BROAD based clientelle, fascinating people that I enjoy visiting with when I am in her salon; from teens to older professionals. \r
\r
Well, after 3+ years with Allison, and after having my hair done for decades in Beverly Hills AND Manhattan, I can easily say, while I feared having my hair done in Atlanta, I'd take her over ANY of the TOP Beverly Hills or Manhattan hairstylists/colorists I've had before her. Plus it is just an honor to know such a good person who is so focused on her clients and their satisfaction. I just hate I can't go in more often. I need some Allison time more often than every 6 weeks.\r

If you are looking for a salon you can trust through and through, and if by chance you happen to be going through a hair trauma, I am here to say Allison will not only get you to your best again, but as noted, will educate you along the way. You can't go wrong with my NOW friend Allison. And I NEVER write a review for anyone! One more thing...I've seen people come regularly from as far away as Tennessee just so Allison could correct disasters from other salons.
