Google reviews for Pageboy Salon average 4.8 out of 5 stars based on 505 ratings, with the owner responding to only 8 percent of comments. Positive feedback frequently highlights the salon's clean, welcoming atmosphere and the stylists' ability to execute specific requests like curly hair cuts, highlights, and men's grooming with precision. Customers often praise the communication and attention to detail during appointments. However, lower-rated reviews cite issues with appointment punctuality, a lack of front desk staff, and instances where stylists deviated from requested hair lengths or styles.

“Love my hair everytime because Mayson is amazing and very creative therefore my hair always gets compliments when I hate being told I look nice.”
“They pay attention to detail in a way that makes the cut look good even as it grows out.”
“While there are several reasons this terrible results could have occured, possibly my hair had pre-existing damage that was too severe for the service…”
“We definitely recommend booking with her for all your hair needs!”
“I don't know about other stylists but at least don't recommend Brooke.”
“She has the best energy and communication about what you want!”
“And when I asked her to add more highlights, she ignored me.”
“(Linda) She was incredibly professional, lovely to catch up with, and very honest when it came to my hair goals and what she believed would be best for me!”
“The price is a bit on the higher side (compared to an average salon), but I would say that it is worth every penny.”
“this place is not worth the price and you can go get your haircut for a better deal somewhere else in athens.”

Update: My third appointment with Linda and I absolutely love it! I asked for a razor cut with a reference and Linda elevated it in a way that works even better for me. Looks great with or without styling! For potential clients, I wanted to add that she's a stylist, not a student apprentice anymore. I think the…

Elle is wonderful! I was nervous about keeping my length while getting a messy, shaggy cut, but she was so patient and careful. She got the back and the length exactly right, and I’m absolutely in love with the result. My whole look has completely changed!

Go to salon for men's haircuts. I've gotten both a men's haircut and partial highlights here before and every experience has been great. The stylists are all really good and take the time to listen to you and know what you really want and the final look is perfect. My most recent visit was for a men’s cut, and it…

I have super curly, frizzy hair that needs the absolute perfect haircut or it will be a disaster. I’ve lived in Athens my entire life and tried out every other salon in town. Seriously. Every one. And! Multiple stylists at each salon. I never left completely satisfied until I found Mia 🥰🥰 I’ve been going to her…
Love my hair everytime because Mayson is amazing and very creative therefore my hair always gets compliments when I hate being told I look nice.
She has a very keen eye for what looks good on someone whether it's a personal request or her own recommendations.
As a result my confidence does get restored a bit when going to Pageboy because the salon is simply the best I've ever been to out of the dozens of places I've been to during my travels.

Looks great with or without styling! For potential clients, I wanted to add that she's a stylist, not a student apprentice anymore. I think the website hasn't been updated?
Linda gave me a cute bob and I love it so much! I don't even need to put in extra efforts to style it. It just looks great as is. Saves me so much time in the morning. I struggled to find a hairstylist since I moved here and I'm glad I found Linda. Will definitely come back.

The stylists are all really good and take the time to listen to you and know what you really want and the final look is perfect. My most recent visit was for a men’s cut, and it came out clean, sharp, and easy to style. They pay attention to detail in a way that makes the cut look good even as it grows out. When I previously got partial highlights the color blended perfectly and looked natural.
