I had a wonderful experience here. The staff is wonderful. My stylist Tiffany was incredible. She spent so much time helping me decide what I wanted. Helped me with my vision. I couldn't be more happy with the result. She shaped my face beautifully with a layered modern shag with balayage. Her and the staff are so…
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.
Wonderful cut and color as always
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!!
Beautiful color/highlights and great cut. I’m very happy w the result!
Jailyn was amazing! She provided great service from start to finish. She gave me exactly what I was looking for from cut to color. I am now a forever customer!
Milly is the best there is-haircut, styling, keratin treatments, ideas and solutions! She is a phenom!!!
Cheysie is amazing and is awesome with natural textures!
Jailyn is amazing!!!
Jailyn is incredibly talented! I absolutely loved the service she provided—the hair color came out beautifully, and the silk press was flawless.
Very professional, efficient, friendly and aim to please her clients
Milly is a wonderful stylist! She is experienced and professional, and she is listens carefully to all my hair questions. I highly recommend her!
This is my 2nd time seeing Cheysi and she never disappoints. 1st visit was to fix my fried brassy hair (that I did myself) to an ashy lived in blonde. This visit I got a reverse balayage with long layers. She’s very attentive and always exceeded my expectations. My hair looks straight from a Pinterest board and for a very reasonable price. Thanks Cheysi!
Cheysi ALWAYS does an amazing job on my hair! She’s personable, professional, and is so talented! I always get compliments on my haircuts and hair colors thanks to her!
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.
"I just had the most amazing experience at Craig McQueen salon! I’ve been searching for five years to find a salon that could truly cut my hair the way I wanted, and Craig McQueen was absolutely the right choice. Joelle, my stylist, took the time to carefully listen to exactly what I was looking for, and she nailed…
Tiffany was great! She took time to discuss with me what I wanted and what would be great for my face and hair type! Amazing cut, great experience!!
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…
I have been seeing Tiffany for years. She listens to what a client wants and she can also give incredible, current, supportive suggestions. She is talented and experienced- she can easily execute cuts and color. I recommend her highly!
I'm so happy with my haircut! Genesis, did an incredible job as always. She was attentive, listened carefully to what I wanted, and offered professional advice on hair color for my next appointment. I highly recommend Genesis to anyone looking for a top-notch haircut and a wonderful salon experience.
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!
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…
Milly and the team at Craig McQueen are fabulous. I have complete trust in Milly and recommend her highly -- she is a talented hair stylist and a wonderful and engaging person. You can always count on Milly to understand your needs and preferences and provide excellent service and results.
Great salon, super helpful staff, nice location.
If I could give higher than a five, I would. Lisa is the best when it comes to color, cuts, and styling.
Tiffany always does an amazing job! I get so many compliments when she cuts my hair. Not only is she a great stylist but she’s a fun person to talk to. I will be coming back
Fantastic Service and Haircut I HIGHLY recommend Tiffany 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Cheysi was absolutely amazing. She knew exactly what I wanted and went above and beyond. The salon was beautiful and clean. Would highly recommend this place.
Zac was so wonderful with explaining to me step-by-step what he was doing for my hair and helping me understand how I can achieve the look on my own as well. He is friendly, outgoing, and very knowledgeable! I would recommend him to all my friends and family. I love my new hair!!
I love my hair!! Tiffany did such a great job and she was so kind and personable too, which was a bonus. Everyone there was awesome. I really enjoyed meeting Joshua at the front desk as well. The staff is very personable
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.
Genesis did an amazing job with my hair today and was also very personable. 10/10
Expensive, and unable to cut and style as wanted. If you want a special cut, even with a reference photo they do their own version, which is not appreciated.
Terry is an artist, and made my day a lot better. First time there. I’m going back.
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.
I loved my experience! Jailyn was super knowledgable and really listened to what I was wanting while also letting me know what would be best for my curl pattern. Can't wait to come back in the future!
It was my first time coming to the salon. Zac took his time to ask how I wanted my cut and make sure we were on the page before starting. I absolutely loved the end result. He was knowledgeable and answered all of the questions I had about a million different things pertaining to taking care of my hair. 10/10 experience!
Genesis is simply amazing as a hairdresser! Gives you the best advice customized for each client! I always go to her!
Jailyn is amazing! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and personable. I will definitely recommend her to my family and friends! Thank you for helping me get back to myself!
Loved genesis! Highly recommend
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.
Prema did an amazing job styling my hair!! I’ve came to her twice now : once for my wedding hair and another time for a simple wash and go. Both experience were excellent!! She is not only a great stylist but such a sweet person! I will be retuning and booking with her!
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!
This was my first time and this hair salon, and Zac was by far the best I've been to in a long LONG time! He was super friendly, made me feel like I'd been going to him for years, and was helpful with his tips and tricks. He listened carefully to what I wanted - I got a cut and balayage and it's perfect, I love it so much!! 🫶🏻
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.
Start to finish I had a great experience. I was greeted by friendly smiles right off the bat. Zac was wonderful and did an amazing job on my hair. The vibe and energy at the salon was great. Next time I'm in Atlanta I will definitely come back 💛
I had my hair cut and styled by Prema on 7/29/24. After years of only having cut my own, my wavy/curly hair had become too long to properly address any layers and my curls had become weighed down by the lack of shape. When I scheduled the appointment with Prema, we discussed my needs very briefly. On the day of the…
Joelle and all the staff treated me like a queen. I was down in the dumps and needed a pick-me-up.
I love my new color, it’s exactly what I wanted! And great service!
Tiffany was fabulous! My hair looks fabulous, and Tiffany took the time to ask questions and figure out exactly what I wanted in terms of color. Most importantly, there was never an awkward lull in conversation. She gave me suggestions on places to visit in Atlanta as a newcomer and chatted about our families. She was lovely, and I will definitely be back!
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 had such a great experience with Jailyn. From start to finish, she made sure to explain everything she was doing and that I was comfortable. Very sweet and personable. After not going to a salon in over 5 years, I trusted Jailyn and she delivered. I now have a beautiful cut with added color just in time for the summer!
Caroline was amazing. I love my hair cut & style . I have been receiving compliments on it . Thank you Caroline 🫶 a.
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
I’m so happy with my haircut, but I was also really happy with Cheysi’s advice, encouragement, and conversation in general. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you, Cheysi!
Zac was such a great stylist!! I've never changed my hair style - EVER - but he was so calm and encouraging and gave me a ton of tips on how to make my new style look the best. This is definitely my new go to salon! Thanks again ❤️ For my fellow wolf cut and edgy girlies, this is the place for you.
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
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.
If there were an option to give her more stars I would. The staff was so sweet from beginning to end. Genesis is amazing and made me feel so welcome and comfortable. She washed my hair before she cut it and it was the best wash I’ve gotten at a salon, the seats were so comfortable. Amazing experience!!!
Such a great experience! Personable, friendly staff and I was finished 20 min ahead of schedule. I will definitely be back!! Absolutely zero complaints.
I enjoyed getting to know Joelle and I love my new hair style!!!!! The reception staff was also very friendly! I plan to go back for color as well!
Milly does a fantastic job wit a haircut
I’m including before and after pics! Before: platinum blonde and fried. After : reverse balayage perfection by Jailyn!!
It was my first time coming here and it was a great experience! Genesis was so nice and helpful helping me choose what I wanted to do with her professional opinion. Will be coming back!
Terrible customer service..
Tiffany was absolutely wonderful to say the least. She not only provided elite services but was also a joy to be around. Let’s just say, I’ll be back!
Zack was fabulous! I arrived early and he started my hair right away. Super pleasant and helpful with ideas for color and cut. Highly recommend!
She did an amazing job with my 6 year old daughter. Highly recommended!
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’ve been going here and specifically to Tiffany for the past two years it’s just the best!! Tiffany is amazing, she is so sweet and so talented!! I always look forward to going in for my touch ups and always trust her to do what I’m looking for with my hair!! I highly recommend Tiffany and this salon!!
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…
It was a great appointment! They made me feel so good about myself. I love my hair and the color!
She listened SO WELL, did an amazing job and helped my teenage daughter make a wise choice on how to have her hair cut. She could Not have been nicer and took the time to help teach my teenage daughter about how to style her hair as well! Simply could not have done a better job!!!!!!
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…
I almost don't want to write a review because then the secret will be out and everyone will flock to CMQ (and I might not get in when I want). BUT, this place is soooo good that I really have to shout it from the rooftops. It's basically my home away from home and I should pay rent because I'm there so much but I…
Jailyn is the best stylist I’ve had since I moved to Atlanta from New York in 2020. I’m so happy and grateful that the search is over and I’ve found a stylist who can color and care for me hair!
Cheysi is a miracle worker! She made my vision come to life and i love my balayage! I was a bit nervous to try a new color but she talked me through the entire process and gave my hair the color and life it needed. She is amazing ! Definitely will be back in a few months to try another color just for fun :)
Excellent color that is fresh and natural looking. Flattering cut!
Genesis was awesome! She understood exactly how I wanted my hair to be cut and she was super helpful in explaining how I could achieve the same look at home. The other staff members were also very friendly and welcoming. I am so glad I gave Craig McQueen salon a chance! I will definitely be coming back.
Great!
Tiffany was terrific! Very attentive. She asked questions to make sure she gave me exactly the cut I requested. She is also a great conversationalist. I may have found my regular stylist!
Genesis is a talented stylist. So happy to have found her. Very personable as well. Highly recommend!
Cheysi did an awesome job with my hair. I knew how short I wanted to cut it, but wasn’t sure about how I wanted it layered. She told me what she thought and walked me through the entire process! She was very personable and answered all my questions. I am very pleased with how my hair feels and looks. Thanks Cheysi!
Caroline made my hair dreams come true! Not only did she explain the whole process of extensions, she was transparent about pricing and maintenance. I’m so glad I have her to do my hair. She is the absolute best and now my hair is absolutely the thing of dreams!
This is my third time seeing Genesis and she did a great job again shaping up my bob length hair while I grow it out. Thank you!!
I always look forward to coming in to see Jailyn for a fun chat and a fantastic haircut! She took the time to listen to what I wanted (embracing my grey) on one of our first meetings and every time since has gotten my hair in a better and better place. See you in 6 weeks!
always good experience
Joelle did a great job of listening to my thoughts and ideas, and she added her own thoughts and ideas, for a truly personalized experience. I love my new haircut!
Omgosh! One word CHEYSI! She is amazing! I recently relocated to Atlanta and I was terrified at the thought of having to find someone who understood my hair and its needs. From the moment I met her she made me feel at ease. She took the time to understand my desired color and cut. She achieved the cut and color I…
Loved my stylist. Very attentive and professional.
Great experience! Tiffany was really nice and professional! I Loved my hair … highly recommend
