This was my first time and I was really blown away by the service, the space and was so very happy with the results and the whole experience. Kate was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to spend so much time with. I usually dread the 4 hours or so that it takes for my hair services but the time actually flew by…

If you are black don’t come here go to Atlanta Hair Color Studio because the owner Candy told me “We don’t do this texture of hair (Black) Sadly, I’d like to share that Jamison Shaw has finally confirmed by the owner (Candy) of the salon that they don’t do “THIS” texture of hair. Meaning black textured coiled hair. I went to Jamison for my hair to be colored. Colleen performed a strand test and we both agreed it came out nice. Once I returned Colleen’s was behaving strangely. She told me that she was afraid to do my hair. I told her “You just did my hair and you left a blond streak in the back proving that. So I don’t understand?” She calls over another stylist asking her if she would recommend doing my hair and this stylist said no. I asked to speak to management which she introduced her self as the Candy the owner of Jamison Shaw, she told me “We don’t do this texture of hair.” I was very disappointed because Colleen and I did a strand test and she agreed on an appointment to complete the color. But most of all she knew I was coming back because she left my hair blond in the back while the rest was brown. The next day, I came back to request what Colleen used to lift my hair and the owner rushed to me as if she didn’t want me to be in the salon. Mind you I’ve been to Jamison Shaw at least 4 times over the years and I’ve never been told “We don’t do this texture of hair.” How dare you even feel the need to make a customer feel discomfort, embarrassed and sad about the texture of their hair. It was rude and I feel this woman had a problem with people of color. I’d never felt so out out and hurt. Because she said this with so much pride. I felt kicked out after she told me this. If you try to deny that you said this Candy. You are a liar!!! Please if you are of color and your hair isn’t straight like a Caucasian please don’t head to this salon. The are racist and you won’t feel to good about being black after that visit.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we are disappointed to read your review, we appreciate the opportunity to provide some clarity. At Jamison Shaw Hairdressers, we proudly welcome and serve guests of all backgrounds and hair textures. Our commitment to inclusivity, professionalism, and the health and integrity of every guest's hair has been a cornerstone of our salon for 60 years. We were happy to accommodate multiple consultations, including a personal consultation with our owner, Candy Shaw, to explore your desired results. Ultimately, our stylist did not feel confident proceeding with the requested color service, and we respected that professional judgment. Every hairdresser has different areas of expertise, and we believe it is our responsibility to be transparent when a particular service may be better suited to another professional. Candy also took the time to meet with you privately, provide alternative salon recommendations, and share information from your previous color service to help you move forward. We sincerely regret that our decision left you feeling disappointed or unwelcome, as that was never our intention. However, we respectfully disagree with the characterization of our salon and the reasons behind our decision. Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to consult with you. Although we were not the right fit for this particular service, we genuinely wish you the very best in finding a hairdresser who can help you achieve your desired results.

Kate was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to spend so much time with. I usually dread the 4 hours or so that it takes for my hair services but the time actually flew by which was so unexpected and refreshing. I thought I had already posted a review as I am about to rebook now and when I realized I hadn’t, well I had to right away. I am always nervous trying a new place but anyone in doubt - don’t be! You will not be disappointed!!!

I saw Savanah for the first time today after a previous stylist left my hair with harsh, choppy layers and visible cut lines. Savanah worked her magic — she expertly blended everything on dry hair and completely transformed the look. My hair looks so much better now. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely kind. I’ll definitely be coming back!
