Junko Hair Studio

I have known Junko for years, and she is dedicated to the service, wonderful styles, and knowing her customers. All the staff are frlendly and engaging. It is a pleasure to see them. I highly recommend Junko Hair and knowing that customers are committed to her and keep returning. She's great with both men and women's styles.

Pros: Best hair cut ever, fun atmosphere, and friendly service

Cons: None

Posted 11/23/09

A friend put us on to Junko when we moved to the area two years ago. Junko is always prompt and courteous, but more importantly she is a gifted stylist! My husband, my son, and I all use Junko's services... And we always get compliments!! From cut to color, Junko and her staff do an excellent job for us and her prices are very reasonable (especially by Buckhead standards).

Pros: Expertise, location, and price

Posted 11/23/09

The holidays have snuck up on me and I needed a same-day appointment and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. I called Junko, having seen it driving by on Peachtree, and got an appointment an hour from when I called. I saw Allison Grimes, a junior stylist, whose cut and color is a terrific bargain, considering how much care she took with my hair and how well it turned out. I got a partial foil and a haircut, and I love my hair! I have gotten so many compliments (maybe a clue it was time for a change!) and will come back to Allison next time!

Pros: Cut and color at a great price and last-minute appts

Cons: none

I have been going to Junko Hair Studio for 10 years. Although Junko herself does my hair most of the time, I have gone to about every stylist there at one time or another -- they always fit me when I call at the last minute and every stylist has been great.

They were one of the very first salons in Atlanta to offer the Keratin hair treatment and I have to say that this treatment has truly changed the texture of my hair. Since I highlight my hair, it had become dry and porous over the years. But now that I have been having the Keratin hair treatments at Junko Hair Studio - my hair actually feels like it did when I was a teenager! The Keratin hair treatment has made my hair soft and silky again, and cut my styling time in half. I don't know what is in that stuff - but it is a miracle treatment. I would highly recommend it.

Junko Hair studio is also really great for cuts, color, highlights, styling, blow-outs, etc. They even do nails.

Last but not least, Junko is multi-talented; she is also a jewelry designer. Check out many of her pieces for sale at the salon. I took a beloved sterling silver cuff bracelet that I had worn practically everyday for twenty years into her because it had started to crack around the edges. Junko made an identical cuff for me! It was exactly the same and I was very pleased.

Pros: Brought Back My Soft Silky Hair

Posted 11/22/09

I have been going to Junko Hair Salon for over a year now and always have great stylists! However, I was especially pleased last weekend when Alison did my hair. What impressed me was the fact she was willing to stay late to work with me and she did everything just right. She did what I asked and even showed me how to style my hair on my own. I will be going back to her soon for coloring because I know she will make it perfect for me!

Posted 11/22/09

I have moved around over the years from salon to salon looking for the perfect place...and I've finally found it at Junko! Great stylists, hours that work for me, and convenient to where I live and shop (Peachtree Battle Shopping Center), The atmosphere is relaxing and you can even schedule a pedi or manni while your hair is being processed and cut to your specs!

Pros: Soooo convenient if you shop, live, work in Buckhead!

Posted 11/15/09

Junko has cut my hair for 7 years plus - I would never go anywhere else - she is the best - she will always find an appt for me - my hair always looks just like I want it - highlights and straightening treatments are great!!! My husband has been going to Junko for 4 years or so now too - don't know what we would do without her!!

Pros: Junko

Cons: None

Posted 11/15/09

I've been going to Junko Hair Studio for several years now and I see Junko herself. She is incredibly talented at doing color - highlights/lowlights - dramatic/conservative - whatever... The point is she listens! I'm always happy with the way she does my hair and am constantly recommending her. And the salon is such a comfortable space - there's no attitude, which is really refreshing in Buckhead.

Pros: Junko knows color - they do incredible highlights

Posted 11/14/09

I moved to Atlanta from Minnesota and went looking for a high quality salon with reasonable prices. I tried several of the no frills chains and always left unhappy with the quality of my haircut. Then, I tried out Alison at Junko and I couldn?t be happier. She is a superb, top-of-the-line stylist. I would highly recommend Alison or any of the other top notch stylists at Junko.

Pros: Best Salon

Posted 11/13/09

Shelly Melton is my stylist at Junko, and she has been the only person that has consistently been able to give me a great haircut. My wife also goes to Shelly to get her color done. Junko is conveniently located right off of Peachtree, so it is easy to run by after work or on a late lunch break. Go, and ask for Shelly!

Pros: Location, Price, Atmosphere

Cons: Non

Posted 11/11/09

I just moved to Atlanta and was looking for a place to get my hair cut and I am glad I chose Junko. My stylist, Allison, was great. She was very kind and friendly. And of course she gave an excellent hair cut. I will definitely be back to see Allison next time. Junko is a great salon.

Posted 11/10/09

Alison Grimes has been cutting mine and my boyfriends hair for almost a year and she is always very professional. She always listens very well which is often hard to find in a hair stylist. I have always been very happy with my hair and so has my boyfriend. I would always tell anyone to see her for a great hair style.

Posted 11/10/09

I have had the hardest time finding an stylist that was able to cut my hair the way I like it. The first time that Alison cutted my hair I was very happy with the results ! I have seen Alison many times since , and have always been satisfied. I will continue to go to her and refer anyone to Alison...

Posted 11/09/09

Alison has been my stylist for a while now and she does such a great job! She does exactly what you ask for and it always looks so good. I got highlights and lowlights last time and it looks great! My hair is also normally really flat and she styled it and made it have so much body!

Posted 11/09/09

I had such an wonderful experience with Alison ! She is such a talented stylist and someone with good advice. If you have a question about a cut or color - she is willing and eager to help you make the best decision for yourself. I am very impressed with her skills ! I would recommed anyone that needs a fresh -updated style or color to come see Alison !

Posted 11/09/09

I have been going to Alison Grimes for several weeks now. I am very impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. I feel like Im very important to her as customer when Im there. I will continue to use her services.

Posted 11/09/09

Stylist Alison Grimes did a great on cutting/styling hair exactly how wanted it.

Posted 11/08/09

Went in recently to this salon. A friend recomended Starr Parker to me~ so very glad she did! I have been so pleased with my results and have never received so many compliments!

My only regret: I didn't get any of her cards to pass out!

Posted 11/08/09

She has done my hair and my kids for years~anytime we are in Atlanta we go where ever she is~amazing stylist and colorist!

I have been to some of the best in the industry throughout my life, she is definately up in the top three in the country! Highly reccomend her to anyone!!

Posted 11/08/09

Alison really impressed me with her ability to make my flat hair actually have some volume. She has done an excellent job with my color & haircuts. I drove 2 hours just to have her fix my hair for a concert. She has a precise method & always pleases her clients with great service & advice. The lady that was waiting on her to do her hair was so impressed with my hair that she wanted her to do her hair the same way. I was impressed with all of the staff and their professional manner of dealing with both clients & walk-ins with the same compassion & kindness that is hard to come by in Atlanta salons nowadays.

Pros: Wonderful Stylist, Always welcoming & kind to clientel.

As a regular customer since 2003, I always get great service and have fun at Junko on each visit. The highlight is interacting with the staff and having Sabrina Toro as my stylist. She is a total pro and knows her craft inside and out. I always recommend Junko for total styling needs.

Pros: Consistent Cuts and Constant Fun

Cons: I have not found any yet

Posted 11/08/09

I'm always really nervous about getting my hair cut, but the moment I walked in I felt at ease immediately. The people were friendly and all had great hair :P

My hairstylist was Starr and she did fabulous. She was fun to talk to and my hair came out just the way I wanted. I ask for a fun, short cut with low lights and that's what I got! Thanks Junko

Pros: great service by Starr! and great environment :)

Posted 11/05/09

I got a hair cut and color by Alison at Junko's, and I have never been more pleased.
She is so pleasant and cares about her customers. My color was exactly as I described to her.
I will always ask for Alison whenever I go back.

Pros: Best hair cut I've ever had

Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Posted 11/04/09

I have been going to junkos for many years, as have other members of my family. I have used several different stylists and have liked them all. Last week I went in for cut and color and Alison Grimes was my stylist. She is relatively new to town so I just took a chance I would like her. Alison did a fantastic job on my cut and color. I am definitely going to ask for her again.

Pros: location and price

Cons: none

Posted 11/03/09

I just got my hair cut and colored by Alison here at Junko and I am so pleased! She is very pleasant and cares enough about what you want to even get an example of what you like from a magazine! If you want a reasonably priced cut and partial hi-light, which is waht I got - this is a great place.

Pros: Reasonable price for great cut and color

Posted 11/02/09

I had a great experience at Junko salon. Allison, my stylist was excellent and very personable! I came in for a hair cut and stlyle. She listened to me explain the type of cut that I wanted and it turned out even better than I had pictured!! I cant wait to go back for highlights! She used great techniques and was very professional. After moving to a new city and trying to search for a new salon, I have now found an excellent stylist that I will reccomend to all of my friends!

Posted 10/30/09

I love the prompt service I get @ JUNKO's Sabrina takes the time and remembers how and what you want each visit. Great place!!

Posted 10/28/09

I got a digital perm from Akemi and it turned out great! I loved that she was friendly and great to talk too..She made my 2.5hrs go by super fast! She was gentle and made sure my highlights were protected and my digital perm didnt do too much damange to my hair.

Pros: Open on Sundays & Great Service

Posted 10/26/09

Junko made my hair experience great because they don't try to sell you the moon or services that you really don't need. I got tired of my old salon always trying to talk me into "low-lights", extra conditioners, products that weren't necessary. Sabrina really listens, explains what her understanding of what I want and we go from there. She runs products specials every now and then and that can really help!

Pros: Sabrina Toro is wonderful..she remembered me after just one

Cons: None....directly acroos the street from my office!

Posted 10/20/09

I've never been one to get my haircut regularly bc I could never find a stylist that would be creative and give honest styling opinions about my hair (maybe once a year and always someone different). A friend suggested Sabrina to me and this year, I have been to see her 3 times at Junko! She does a great job with my hair, I get the best compliments and my boyfriend always loves it! She gives me suggestions (what I'm looking for) and gives me tips on ways to do certain styles on my own and other ways to maintain styles. And her availability hours are a plus! Reasonable prices for a fresh new look.

Pros: Sabrina Toro - great stylist! Nice and modern studio

Cons: lots of red lights to get there if you don't live close

Posted 10/15/09

Akemi and Junko really know their craft and made my visit a wonderful experience. I have Caucasian hair and have had two TRs, however, I'm trying to grow it out and the stick straight ends just looked horrible. So through email correspondence with Junko, she told me the possibilities and I came in for a consultation. Akemi did my digital perm and I absolutely love it! I plan to get another one when my hair grows out more. The salon and staff were prompt and courteous and overall truly enjoyable. I have been to other very pricey salons that just can't compare to Junko's service and value. I recommend this salon to anyone who values good hair and good people.

Pros: Excellent service and ability

Posted 06/16/09

I started going to Junko on the recommendation of a colleague when I moved to Atlanta 10 years ago. Usually saw Philip or Sidney and when they left, followed them through an interminable number of salons (why do stylists move so often???). Then decided to try a very high end salon for kicks. I got a decent cut and terrific color, but at a very very high price. (Not just money, but experienced what seems to be endemic--"WHO cut your hair? It's a disaster!" and "You MUST have color: your hair is green." (It wasn't, and I had booked only for a cut.) I've never understood this constant dissing by stylists of the last person's work.

Long story short, today I went back to Junko for an appointment with Tatiana. The FIRST thing she said was "that was a good cut you got." And it had been. So nice not to hear the usual carping. But my hair was a mess--frizzy and dry and with no shape left. Tatiana COMPLETELY transformed it!! PLUS she explained everything she was doing and the products she was using (I got home and went straightaway online to buy Moroccan Oil--fabulous stuff!). She showed me how to style it at home and how to cut my bangs between cuts..

I look ten years younger (a major accomplishment, because I am really OLD) and my husband is still staring at me.

I paid $50 for this cut and in these times, that's still a lot for me, being only semi-employed--though MUCH less than the aforementioned high end place. But now I am feeling bad that I only tipped 20%. Next time....

Pros: Tatiana

Cons: None

Posted 05/25/09

i love this hair salon, everybody is so friendly and kind,
But what I really love the most is my stylist YURI!. she does my color and cut .
SHE KNOWS HAIR!! she is always hornest with me and take care of my hair evrytime. she is very patient and never pushey until i know what i want.
i definitly recomend everybody this hair salon.

Pros: Best hair salon in ATL

Posted 03/30/09

Good afternoon, I have spent a great morning getting color with high and low lights. Sabrina and Yuri are experts matching skin tones and color. My girls and I make a day of grooming followed by lunch. We are all professionals and appreciate the accommodating hours of business such as Saturday or Sunday.
Junko has remodeled the salon, beautifully, and the atmosphere is great. More than
the physical appearance of the salon the atmosphere generated by the Junko team just makes the experience awesome. We always feel welcome and special.

Posted 01/17/09

I went here because I was in the shopping center running errands. I needed a trim and figured why not? They took me immediately and were very nice and professional. I ended up getting a color glaze to freshen up my color. I was pleased with the cut and color. If you need something quick I would say this place can be relied on to do a fine job.

Posted 12/12/08

Went to colorist Yuri at Junko to get my roots touched up. She did not know which color to use or how to color roots for medium brown hair. My roots turned orange $50.00 later. Now I have to hunt around for another colorist + the cost to fix this mess! Yuri was nice, but lacked experience & ruined my hair. I will never go back to this salon.

Cons: orange roots, ruined hair!

Posted 12/03/08

In 2004, long before we were married, my husband was living in Atlanta and I was living outside of GA. During a weekend stay with him, I was in need of a haircut and opened the yellow pages to see if I could find a salon with an opening. That weekend was my 1st haircut with Shelly at Junko Hair Studio and I haven't trusted my hair to another salon or stylist since. Shelley is awesome with precision cuts and highlights and is great at meeting her customer's needs.

Pros: Precision Cuts, Highlights, Customer Service

Posted 10/12/08

I've been going to Junko Hair Studio for about 10 years. Junko recently recommended that I get the NEW Keratin Hair Straightening Treatment for frizzy hair. It was the one of the best decisions I have made! Everything she told me would happen with my hair has happened. My hair is sleek, straight, silky, and beautiful. The frizz is gone, styling is so fast, no flat iron or round brush! People have asked me if I've had my hair colored, cut, or that I've lost weight. None of these happened. The only thing I've done is the Keratin Treatment! Despite the hot weather and humidity, my hair looks and feels great (No Frizz)! In the past I would have been a giant frizz ball the second I walked outside. It should last 3-5 months depending on months depending on how often I wash my hair. It's a miracle! Thanks Junko and all the staff for making me so happy and for making my hair look SO great! NO MORE FRIZZ EVER AGAIN!!

Pros: Keratin Hair Straigtening

Posted 07/22/08

if you need haircoloring- see Ryan! He did an outstanding job fixing my hair color! I had gone to some salon in Midtown and left with disgusting carrot color (yeah! she looked professional but turned out that's all she had as a hairdresser! It was SALON ME)....cried for a day and went to see Ryan...He gave me my beautiful color back in no time!!! I will be back there and only there!!!

Pros: decent prices and experienced stuff

Posted 07/19/08

I cannot imagine anyone but Junko cutting and coloring my hair. I discovered Junko Hair Studio in 1992 and she has been my hair stylist since then. Friends and strangers have complimented my hair styles by Junko for years (I love it when that happens). Thank you, Junko and staff, for always being professional, prompt and knowlegable.

Posted 06/11/08

Let me just say, if you are looking for the BEST TREATMENT in an atlanta salon look no further!
I am a natural dirty blonde but for two years embraced my inner angelina jolie (circa: billy bob). Needless to say I was dark, very dark. A few months ago I decided it was time to lighten up. However, I experienced the misfortune of horrible highlights (at another salon which will go nameless) that gave my new growth on the top of my head highlights but the length was still dark brown. I looked like a nightmare.
I got on citysearch, saw Junko's coupon, and read some reviews claiming it to be afforadble. So I booked the appt with AKIKO, a junior stylist. (I know at this point you're thinking I should've opted for a senior stylist given my situation - but I was looking to spend as little as I could get away with.)
It was a Saturday and they were very busy but I was greeted nicely at the door and introduced to my stylist. After much deliberation Akiko got started. She explained to me how complicated it would be but that she would do her best. Next, the SALON OWNER, JUNKO came over and made sure I was comfortable and worked a little with my hair too. I WAS SO NERVOUS that I was about to get stuck with a $300 tab. I mean, when have you ever had the salon's owner herself AND a stylist work on your hair?
When I was finished, I looked INCREDIBLE! My hair was perfectly dirty blonde again. I could hardly believe she pulled it off. I was so impressed I said I will write a review as soon as I get home! Also, my bill was only $150! What? I gladly pulled out my coupon and debit card, paid and tipped, then floated on a cloud right out of there!
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SALON TO TREAT YOU LIKE YOU'RE ROLLING IN THE DOUGH, (even if you're not) AND GET YOUR HAIR STYLED, CUT, OR DYED TO PERFECTION GO TO JUNKO.....AND ASK FOR AKIKO OR JUNKO.

Pros: friendly perfectionists!

Posted 04/20/08

I have always had extremely curly, long hair that is very difficult to manage, and getting a haircut is something I dread. No one can ever seem to cut it right. A friend mentioned to me that she has been going to Junko's for 3 years now, and loves it. I decided to give it a try. I have been to Junko's four times and used two different stylists (the stylist I usually use was away one weekend). I was very happy with all of my experiences there. I have had my hair both colored and cut there, and have never received more compliments.

Posted 01/31/08

I have been looking for a salon in Atlanta since I moved here. I did tons of research and decided to give Junko a shot. My hair is very long and has been maintained by the same stylist in Florida for 4 years now. I went in for long layers and came out with a complete disaster. My thick long locks were absolutely destroyed. The stylist kept thinning and kept thinning my hair. The layers are very chunky and uneven. It's awful. I have no idea what i'm going to do. Judging by the looks of it, i'm going to have to have it all cut off and start over again.

Posted 01/01/08

Thier customer care is the greatest. Coloring skill is the best in town. I saw one customer with green hair came from other salon to have fixed. She was crying but she was smiling when she left.
The Salon seems always looking for and trying for a better service for customers and the place has a mature feeling.

Posted 10/03/07

I went to Junko today for the first time. Initially, I just decided to go there because none of other high-rated salons were open on Sunday. But I am so happy with my choice and will go back there again.

Pros: great hair cute, price, location

Posted 11/25/06

I've been going to Junko's for 14 years. Upon moving to Atlanta, I tried a Quick Clips kind of place but wasn't satisfied. A co-worker recommended Junko. It was the best advice I had ever gotten. I color my hair red. As anyone with red color knows, it fades like the dickens and needs to be redone regularly. With Junko's care and products, I can prolong the color so my gray roots don't show too badly and the fading is minimized. The diversity of the clientele is truly amazing. Yet, Junko's is able to satisfy customers young and old with a variety of hair issues. My Mom lives in Florida and I made her take my hair appointment during one of her visits. She LOVED the experience. Her cut and treatement were beyond compare. For me, my hair always looks fresh and stylish. I come out looking like a million dollars!

Pros: Professional stylists who know their business, great atmosphere

Posted 11/06/06

Always a positive experience. The stylist can do everything, from the newest trendy cuts and color to the dependable tried and true. They work their magic on each and every customer.

Pros: Location, excellent staff, great value

Posted 07/10/06

Being in the TV business one always has to look their best, and Ive found no better way than to visit Junkos. With my busy schedule, their options for hours fit right into when I might have a break and they are always happy to see you. Wonderful atmosphere, great people and fabulous hair cuts, just make it all the better to go to.

Pros: Flexable hours

Cons: Couldn't find one.
