I am quite fortunate to have discovered Lisa and her staff at Craig McQueen Salon ten years ago. Lisa is not only a talented and highly skilled stylist, she is also an expert in running and managing her salon. I highly recommend Craig McQueen Salon.
Zac is the best! I was very new to getting my hair professionally cut and he did such an amazing job of making me feel comfortable and explaining everything and my hair turned out beautifully, I’m so happy with it! Thank you Zac!
Very sweet and caring!
I love going to Zac because he is such a great listener and really takes the time to know your needs when you come in. I also appreciate how much he explains the process and why certain techniques work for different hair types. He’s super knowledgeable in his craft and I know he’s gonna go far
Zac was amazing! Would recommend going here to anyone.
I always have an amazing experience with Jailyn! Every time she does my hair I leave feeling so beautiful and am always so so happy with how it turned out. Shes also so kind and fun to chat with! 10/10 experience!!
Jailyn does the best blonde color! Her haircuts are amazing, and I always look forward to seeing her!
Zac is phenomenally talented and a great person. Highly recommend the salon overall and Zac!
I absolutely loved my experience—and my hair even more! From the moment I walked into the salon, the customer service was exceptional, starting with the receptionist, Joshua. He was professional, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which set the tone for the entire visit. My stylist, Jailyn, met me promptly at 10:00 AM…
I loveeeee my hair! It’s amazingly soft and looks healthy!!!
Jailyn is incredibly talented! I absolutely loved the service she provided—the hair color came out beautifully, and the silk press was flawless.
My hair has never looked and felt so nice!!!! Truly phenomenal experience!!! Amazing personality and impeccable taste!!!! Definitely book with Jailyn 💚💚🙌🏽🙌🏽💚💚
Cheysi is the BEST. I’ve had so many stylists over the years but since I met Cheysi 5 years ago, I’ve only used her for haircuts and color. She’s so fun and easy to talk to, fast but precise with her work. Cheysi has magic hands, she always exceeds my hair expectations!
Jailyn is the absolute best! She listens and makes great recommendations. I love Craig McQueen salon. It’s always a fantastic experience
Tiffany is the best of the best. I’ve been trusting her with doing my hair for years now. My hair is so important as a model and an actress and I trust her with my life.
Excellent as always
Genesis is absolutely AMAZING! She is such a doll! So skilled with cuts and layers. Very professional and a sweetheart! Front desk was also friendly and amazing! I highly recommend this salon and Genesis!
Everyone at Craig McQueen is so friendly, professional, competent, and kind. Usually I see Cheysi, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She’s fantastic! Today I saw Anna. She’s amazing, too! I am SO happy with my new haircut, and Anna was working with a previous haircut (attempted at home) that hadn’t gone…
Jailyn was amazing! I will definitely be a returning client. The staff was so kind. I had a great experience!
Zac was amazing,
Cheysi was amazing! Very helpful tips on what would be best for my hair type! Highly recommend!
Joelle made me fabulous!! I drove over 2 hours after the owner recommended I need to see Joelle. Worth it! The owner called me personally and worked me in to Joelle’s schedule on a day that fit both our schedules. My hair looks so professional and classy! Love it! See you again soon! 😃🩷
Love Joelle! A friend recommended her to me a few years ago when I moved here & it was a God-send. I definitely do not come in enough, but she’s always able to make up for my lost time and has me leaving feeling great. I’m picky and struggled to described my exact color vision when I arrived, she nailed it and has…
Cheysi is the best hairdresser I’ve ever had! She does an incredible cut that lasts and is easy to style myself. Thank you for the terrific experience!
Loved my hair ! I’ve been 8 years in Atlanta and had yet to find someone I LOVED and I think I finally found what I was looking for ! ❤️ Zac is amazing so friendly and easy to speak to, he made me feel great !
Zac is the absolute best human with the most talent ! I’m obsessed with my color and my new cut !! I will never go to anyone else ! He’s my guy for life !! Everywhere I go, people comment about how gorgeous my hair is ! Thank you Zac !!!

Jailyn and all the staff at the salon are amazing! She’s so kind and insightful. My cut/color turned out better than I could’ve imagined!
I Always love going to Zac, he is so amazing and knowledgeable! I always leave so so happy with how my hair looks and feels!
Loved my new haircut by Zac & his tips about hair. Will be coming back :)
Myself and my 2 daughters are repeat customers. Genesis is a skilled stylist and consistently so friendly and warm. She listens, asks great questions to make sure she understands what is wanted, and provides excellent expertise plus tips for overall hair care.
I absolutely adore Tiffany!! I have trusted Tiffany with my hair the last 2 maybe 3 years now? She has always done amazing with getting my dark black hair to be the perfect blonde without the extra damage. And I recently decided to go to a “bronde” look and was a bit hesitant so she made sure it wasn’t a huge change…
Great salon, super helpful staff, nice location.
I jog and walk in Atlanta humidity every day. I wanted to get my hair smoothed/straightened but didn’t think it would work. My hair is very thick and the curls get frizzy. Anna at CMQ did a keratin treatment and recommended products and WOW! I have been jogging, out in the humid air (it finally rained a couple…
I recently moved here a few months ago and booked my first haircut and color with Anna — and wow, I could not be happier! She instantly made me feel comfortable, really listened to what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. This is hands down my favorite hair I’ve ever had! The cut and color are perfect,…
Joelle is the best! I love my time with her, always feel like I’m catching up with a friend, and come away loving the style, cut, and color. I trust her completely and am always thrilled with the results!
Fantastic Service and Haircut I HIGHLY recommend Tiffany 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Anna gave me one of the best haircuts and blowouts I’ve had in years. My hair is certainly difficult to tame - long, thick, and curly/wavy. She gave me a stunning mid length cut that I could not be happier with! I will absolutely be back to see her!
Cheysi was absolutely wonderful—so sweet, friendly, and incredibly efficient! She made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxing. I’m in love with my new haircut and can’t wait to come back for color. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for great service and beautiful results!
Anna was very helpful and super sweet. I love my hair ! It was my first time and I will definitely come back ❤️
I love my hair. Jailyn was quick and efficient without compromising my hair health or my experience. I have textured, thick but fine hair, and Jailyn made sure to detangle appropriately and blow dry it without burning it off or ripping it out! Also, the vibe of the salon was welcoming, fresh, and clean. I…
Jailyn was awesome! Service was five star, great quality work, vibes and overall experience. I’m so used to hair appointments taking forever but I was in and out super fast and very happy with the results!
I absolutely love Jailyn; she is truly a master of her craft. I arrived feeling insecure and self-conscious about my hair, which has been thinning significantly, but I left feeling like a completely new person. I will definitely have my hair colored by her again, as she is very honest and knows exactly what works best for me.
First time experience at Craig McQueen and it was fantastic. The salon is a hidden gem ❤️ Genesis gave me the long layers I asked for, an excellent cut and a phenomenal blow out! Highly recommended.
Love love Jailyn! Such a great stylist and so sweet! She always makes me feel so beautiful. Looking forward to coming back!
Jailyn is soo good! She knew what I wanted and delievered. I will be coming back to her next time I need my hair done.
I went and saw Zac and he did such a great job with my hair!!! We had the best time chatting and my hair has never looked better. 10/10 recommend
Will definitly be going back to Genesis! Excellent price and my hair looks amazing. All of the staff is wonderful.
Cheysi was amazing! From the moment we started, she truly listened and understood exactly what I wanted. She transformed my hair from dry and damaged to healthy and vibrant! I'm thrilled with the color. Cheysi is not only professional but also highly skilled—she really knows what she's doing! I would highly recommend her!
Thank you Jaylen for the wonderful experience. It’s people like you that make me want to come back into the salon.
Tiffany was excellent! She went out of her way to accommodate me, even when she didn’t have to. The conversation was great—she was super easy to talk to, which made the overall experience even better.
Zac did an amazing job on my hair! It had been way too long since I had last gotten my highlights done and Zac was incredibly efficient and quick at getting my foils in for my full highlight appointment. He gave me exactly what I was looking for- brighter, blonder hair that looked so natural and a perfect cut and…
Jailyn was such a sweetheart with my 9yo who has very little salon experience. She was patient & gentle, making the appointment a breeze.
I love my new color, it’s exactly what I wanted! And great service!
Genesis was amazing! the salon environment also is very good. everyone was very sweet
Very friendly and did an amazing job with my cut and blowout!
Zac was super personable, listened to exactly what I wanted with my haircut, and even taught me some tips and tricks for my hair! I love my haircut and felt so confident leaving the salon!
I booked with Jailyn. I loved the style and she is extremely nice, fast and professional . Highly recommend.
After being very disappointed with the impersonal service I received at another area salon, I booked an appointment with Zac hoping I'd find someone who would give me bespoke treatment. Zac delivered! He was genuinely interested in my hair health and color goals and talked me through every single step he had…
Ask for Genesis! She’s great specially with dark hair
Genesis made my hair look so beautiful! I showed her a picture of what I liked and she absolutely nailed it. She gave me some great hair care tips, and styling tips. I look forward to booking with her in the future.
Genesis was so amazing. She had the perfect suggestions as this was my first time getting a salon cut. Would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a change. 10/10
Tiffany was amazing. I’ve had the same stylist for the past 15 years and recently decided to venture out. I have to admit I was quite nervous but Tiffany made me feel so welcome and comfortable I felt like I was in professional hands. I loved that they reached out to me prior to the appointment asking for what my…
It was my first time at the salon and it’s very nice. The staff at the front desk is efficient and friendly. The location is great withlots of parking and easy to navigate. My stylist is Milly and she is awesome! Not only is she an exceptional stylist and colorist, her personality is warm and welcoming.
Great experience at Craig McQueen Salon. My fabulous stylist, Milly Wilson, has joined the team there. I highly recommend both Milly and Craig McQueen Salon.
This place was very friendly, and my haircut is super cut (Thanks Jailyn)! I was recommended this place by a friend and I'll definitely be coming back for my next hair appointment.
Zac did an amazing job on my butterfly cut and blowout! He explained every step as he went and checked in often to make sure it was coming along the way I wanted. He’s got a lovely, bright, hilarious personality that makes you feel right at home in his chair!
I’m including before and after pics! Before: platinum blonde and fried. After : reverse balayage perfection by Jailyn!!
Terrible customer service..
Joelle listened to my hair concerns and then gave me what I needed! I'm a first time client and I felt like I was in good hands and walked out feeling happy - someone actually listened to my hair cut requests and delivered. She was very nice and easy to speak with... I'll be back and highly recommend her!
Cheysi was the best hair dresser I’ve ever been too! She did my hair perfectly, she was kind, and she got me out in a decent amount of time! I couldn’t ask for better.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure my experience would be one to remember. Couldn’t be happier with how my stylist Zac slayed my hair! Front desk was amazing and everyone was very knowledgeable about Aveda and any questions I had.
I had the best experience with Zac today with my cut and color! He is truly gifted! He took my dry, damaged, and unruly hair and turned it into a work of art. My hair has never looked so healthy, despite me practically frying it off trying to do it myself at home prior to my appointment. Seriously, MAJOR corrections…
I had a hair appointment with Zac Tyler ! WOW what an amazing human ! My hair has never looked more gorgeous! My entire experience from the time that I walked into the salon until the time that I left was unforgettable. Zac's wonderful personality and conversation was extremely fun and energetic. His talent for…
