Let me first preface this review by stating that I have been going to Three-13 salon in Marietta and recently moved to Cumming. That's why I stumbled upon Taylor Brooks Salon. I saw the many reviews and also the coupon/offers for new clients on their website, which drew me in. I had become very comfortable with my stylist(s) at Three-13, but it was a long way to drive. I had just recently cut my hair pretty short, but was wanting to go even shorter - like pixie super short. I scheduled an appointment with Amber (seeing her many great reviews). When I went in for my appointment, the place was nice, nothing fabulous but nothing disappointing either. The staff were nice as well. My main complaint is that Amber didn't really do exactly what I wanted as far as the cut, and also didn't style it how I wanted. I'm use to stylists not styling my hair just as I like - no biggy. She was afraid to go too short though. She left a lot more length than what I wanted and what I showed her in the photos. I even told her I would rather her err on the side of too short to allow longer time between trims/cuts. It was obvious I was not afraid of going too short. I went home and ended up styling it myself and cutting a bit here and there and being pleased. I didn't dislike what she did, but I'm already waiting to go back to my favorite stylist at Three-13 so she can do it EXACTLY how I wanted it in the first place. Amber's price is actually about the same (maybe a little more) than what I would pay at Three-13, just a difference in the drive. I'd gladly make a weekend appointment and not worry about the drive so that I can be in the hands of someone I know I trust. Again, she's good...but there's better and nicer salons for the same price - just maybe not in the Alpharetta/Cumming area.
