The Artisan Gathering Salon

I was referred by a friend to have Lori Taylor style my hair at this salon. I am so glad I did! She is wonderful person who cares what and how her clients feel. She literally took 10 years off of me by just styling my hair. It's a pleasurable experience from the moment you walk in the door. You are immediately met with a warm and welcoming staff. I highly recommend this salon and Lori! I am looking forward to my next visit. I don't usually write reviews, however I felt so strongly about the people and service I received at this salon to take the time and do this. When a company goes above and beyond it should be noted. Although I have a feeling that "excellent, warm, welcoming" type of service is the norm for The Artisan Gathering. I'm glad I was lead to them!

Pros: welcoming, highly trained staff, relaxing atmosphere

Cons: non

I moved away from Lawrenceville for a few years and have returned to The Arrtisan...Kristi is my stylist and it is the same comfortable salon, friendly, great customer service, wonderful hair cut and color. It is so nice to come back to a salon where the same stylists are still at the salon...no turnover...that is a good thing...means they are happy! They stay updated with current trends, products, information. And being an Aveda salon is great too. So happy that Kristi is back from maternity leave. I refer The Artisan which means I get $10 off for each referral which I love!!! And they have a rewards program...spend $100 on Aveda products and I get any product free. How nice is that?? Thanks, Artisan!!!!

Pros: Talented stylists, great customer service by all staff, comfortable atmosphere..just like home!

Cons: None

After relocationg to Gwinnett County, I needed to find a hair salon! Thank goodness for this website, because it gave me options and reviews. My first appointment @ The Artisan was wonderful, loved my hair, the atmosphere, & the genuine professionalism of all. My stylist is Kimberly Whitfield, who I highly reccommend. Friends and family have complimented on the subtle changes of the color and cut, and, my third appointment with the salon is this week.

Pros: Comfortable, calm atmosphere, friendly & experienced stylists

I used to love the Artisan Gathering, but I have been disappointed of late. My stylist Kristi has been MIA since she had her baby, and her hours are way too limited to ever get an appointment :-(. The administrative staff have been uninfomed/or deceptive in communications. I recently called to change an appointemnt and was told it had already been cancelled. I never would have known if I hadn't called! I hope Kristi REALLY comes back soon and that the appointment setters learn some professionalism or I will be looking for a new salon. The Artisan Gathering is just too pricey to get mediocre service.

Pros: Great Stylists

Cons: Can't Get Appointment

I was referred to Amber by two of my friends (thank you Krissy & Nancy) who are long time customers. Their hair was always shaped well, the color was flattering, and they were very satisfied with her services.

Since she became my hairdresser I have been very satisfied with my hairstyle and color, which without her would be a very plain shade of grey. Amber has given me back my beautiful birth color with highlights.
She is very friendly, outgoing, and knowledgable about the style and colors which are suitable for me.

The salon staff are very friendly and the location is convenient to my work and home.

Thanks, Amber

I absolutely love this place! I moved to Georgia 6 years ago and I was looking for a salon that used Aveda products. I'm from Minnesota so Aveda products are all I have ever used. The Aveda store at the Mall of Georgia recommended the Artisan Gathering, I booked my first appointment and have been a loyal customer ever since! Amber Haga is my stylist and she is the best, she is not only my stylist but I feel like she is my friend. She works with me when I'm indecisive about my color or style and I'm always a willing participant when she has a new color technique to try out becasue I know I will always come out looking great! My friends tell me how natural my hair looks and I feel I owe that to Amber. If your looking for a relaxing atmosphere and friendly service this is the place for you!! What are you waiting for book your appointment now!!

Pros: Great stylists

Cons: None

I was looking for a new hairdresser and I asked a friend ( who's hair always looks fantastic) who did her hair. She refered me to Amber at The Artisan Gathering and I've been a loyal customer for almost 2 years now.On the first visit, Amber offered very good advice on the cut and color I was looking for and she does the same every time I go in, because I usually don't know what I'm going to do until I'm in her chair. Amber and the staff are always friendly and fun. I have a couple of friends who now go to Amber and we all always look forward to our appointment.

Pros: Staff, convenience, quality work

Cons: None

Shear Delight!! The Artisan Gathering is a welcome change from the gimmicky and unpersonable mall type salons - it was just a completely wonderful experience. I have frequented expensive salons in Buckhead and also salons around the Mall of Georgia and this salon was just a joy to find. The atmosphere is so friendly and bright and comfortable and all the personnel make you feel like you are at home - I didn't want to leave!! I saw Wanda for highlights and cut and she was great - she spent a lot of time on my highlights trying to achieve a more complimentary highlight pattern and the final product was worth the wait! Not to mention the amount of personal attention taken to make sure I got the results I wanted. When it came time to pay I actually thought I underpaid for the services I received. I spent a very relaxing and comfortable part of my afternoon at that house and I felt like I was part of a family - all the sylists were so friendly and all the customers seemed very happy to be there and with the services they were receiving. This salon is truly a delight and I am so happy I found it!

Pros: Professional, Skilled Stylists, Friendly, Comfortable, Fun

Cons: None!

Kristi Christman is the best hairdresser I have ever had. The Artisan Gathering is a wonderful salon. It is by far the best experience in salons I have ever had from California, Washington, Florida and Georgia! The people are super friendly and helpful. No snobby people here. You know how you as for advice and don't get it? Here they work with you to create the perfect color, the perfect style and you don't feel rushed.

I recommend The Artisan Gathering with the highest score. It is top notch!

Pros: all pros

Cons: no cons

Very relaxing atmosphere with experienced and caring stylists. Been visiting salon for 10+ years at the recommendation of a friend of mine. No desire to change. Stylists are very up to date on styles, products, make up, etc. I

The Artisan Gathering is my favorite salon. I have moved several times around the country, and recently my husband and I moved to Georgia. I am a religious Aveda user, and I only go to Aveda salons. My first visit to the Artisan Gathering was a few months ago. The atmospere is calm, and comforting. The staff is very kind, and you are offered a drink as soon as you come in the door. The salon itself is in an old house, and this gives you a sense of "feeling at home". The stylists also give you the same feeling, they make you feel welcome. Unlike many salons I've been to, I didn't feel like stylist was trying to rush me out of her chair, she seemed to really care about me, and my HAIR! If you love your hair as much as I do, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with one of the ladies at the Artisan Gathering!!

Pros: Excellent talent, Quality work, Friendly personalities, Calming atmosphere

Cons: NOTHING!

Pros: great salon

Cons: a bit hard to find but otherwise np!

This is an AVEDA concept salon. I have been going to The Artesian Gathering for almost 9 years. The stylists are very in tune with the lastest trends and fashion. Everyone at this salon makes you feel a part of the family. Jenny, Laurie, Amber, Wanda, Christy are fabulous! The stylists will listen to your concerns and questions. You will never leave unhappy. They pride themselves in their customer service and the talents as hair consultants/stylists. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The Artesian Gathering is truly the best in Atlanta! You will not be disappointed.

Pros: The people, the service and the at home atmosphere

Cons: Parking on a Saturday can be a little bit of a challenge

I visited today as a new customer because I recently moved to Lawrenceville (and Georgia in general). Note that they give you $10 off your first visit-- mention it if they don't, but they told me before I even remembered to mention it!

Kim was great; she was very sweet, and she did a great job on my color and cut! She also gave me great ideas for hairstyles for my upcoming wedding, for which I will definitely be coming back to them! The salon is so comfortable and inviting, and the house is beautiful. I felt very calm as soon as I walked in, and the staff was all very charming and friendly. I liked that some stations are in separate rooms so that it's not one big, crazy, noisy salon atmosphere. She and I were in a room to ourselves, which meant that while my color was developing, I got to sip water and read in a quiet atmosphere.

I also think Aveda products are the best, and you know you're going to get great service at an Aveda salon because they don't just certify any salon to be an Aveda salon!

The salon is located in downtown Lawrenceville on a side street, so it is easy to miss the street, but once you see it, the driveway is easy to get into. Parking is ample in back.

Pricing was also reasonable. Color (medium-length hair), cut, and a bottle of Aveda shampoo was just over $100. Cash tips are a downer, but many salons all over the country do that (I know, I've lived all over!), and you can write a check to your stylist if you like. What's the worst that can happen? You apologize and return with a tip! Things could be worse :)

I was so satisfied with my experience this morning that I will recommend them to everyone. They definitely won me over-- I'm definitely going back! No need to drive to downtown Atlanta when you have a lovely salon right here in the suburbs.

Pros: lovely, inviting atmosphere, quiet environment

Cons: NONE!!!

The Artisan Garthering is a warm and inviting salon. I saw LeAnne, and she was very knowledgeable about Aveda color. She did an excellent job on my highlights and haircut. I love the atmosphere of the salon, and the products are great!

Pros: Great service and hairstylists

Cons: Its not on a busy street

Posted 06/20/06

i just recently went to the artisan gathering and saw kimberly, she was funny and she did a great job on my highlights and cut! she gave me different ideas on how she could my highlight and different colors that she can use as low lights to complete my new look!! my hair cut is the best i can style it ten different ways depending on the mood i am in that day!!! every one else was so sweet, the hole salon is the cutiest thing ever!! as soon as you walk into the salon you feel like you are at home... i highly recommend going to this salon for your aveda products and making your hair beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: easy to get to, good parking, variety of drinks

Posted 06/01/06

You must ask for Jenny when you go for your precision cut and color at this fine establishment. I couldn't ask for a better hair professional to take care of my hair care needs. She has talent plus and will listen to you like no other hair dresser. She is the BEST! I love this salon. Aveda products are the icing on the cake.

Pros: THE BEST SALON!

Cons: NONE!

Posted 05/16/06

The Artisan Gathering has restored my faith in hairdressers! The Aveda Store in the mall recommended Beverly. She has many years experience and does a wonderful job. I have had several of the other hairdressers there do my cuts and my color, too, and they have ALL been excellent. They are not self impressed like some hairdressers I have seen from other "well known" salons. The Artisan Gathering hairdressers give great service for a great price, and I am extremely pleased; I refer all my friends and associates to the salon.

Pros: Pros: You get $10 off

Cons: Cons: none that I hav

From the moment you walk in you feel at home. First of all you are greated with a smile the minute you walk through the front door. Then you are offered a refreshing beverage and seated in a relaxing foyer. While recieving your shampoo you are given a complimentary head and neck massage. And by the time you leave, you are feeling beautiful, inside and out, and refreshed! It's the most wonderful salon I've ever been too!

Salon is in a beautiful old house, nice furniture, very comfortable feeling---nothing like other salons where you feel rushed from time in to time out!

Definitely will be a regular client of The Artisan!!!
