Today I called Panache to see if all the rave reviews were true. They booked me just two hours in advance and little did I know that I would receive the royal treatment by the owner, Susie. The salon itself felt very comfortable and unintimidating and for once in my long history of ?salon shopping? I already felt like I had come to the right place.
Susie greeted me by name with a big genuine smile and got right down to talking about my hair. I had a lot of questions and ideas and she was absolutely wonderful about discussing every concern I had. She gave me a great new cut that fit my face, the texture of my hair, and my personality and I didn?t have a single doubt the entire time I was in the chair. I have never felt so taken care of or at home with a stylist I had never met before and I will be recommending her to everyone who looks like their hair could use a little boost.
True to the reviews, a male customer came in and sat down with Tammi (another friendly stylist) as I was getting my final touches. I decided to book an appointment for my litle brother (with Meagan) this coming Saturday.
When I asked Susie about product suggestions she handed me a free sample of something I would have paid at least $15 anywhere else. I paid $48 for a cut I would have paid at least $70 for anywhere else. People may get excited by hot trendy salons in Decatur or Virginia Highlands but their services seem criminal next to Panache.
You know you?ve got a good haircut when other customers in the salon are complimenting you before it?s even done. What a great feeling! I walked out with a huge smile on my face and new sense of confidence, not to mention a truly adorable one-of-a-kind haircut by the sweetest stylist in Atlanta.
Pros: everything! price, service, relaxed atmosphere, the whole shabang!
Cons: nothing.
