Love Katie! She’s been doing my hair for years, & she nails it every time. I’m particular about my cut/layers & she is the only stylist I trust to get it right every time. My color is always so pretty, no matter what I ask for or what process she does. Katie herself is sweet & chill! You don’t feel like you have to…

I heard very good things about this hair salon and decided to give it a try. I had gone to Athens Cosmetic school awhile back and noticed one of the students did an excellent job on a cut and blonde color. I called the school to see if I could have that student next time and they couldn't pinpoint who I was talking…

I have been coming to Republic for a few years now, and Melinda is the first and only stylist I have ever met who seems to read my mind and deliver flawless results every time I see her. I look forward to my hair appointments for weeks leading up not only because I am excited to get rockstar hair, but also because I…

My husband and I, along with our three children, are long term clients of Republic Salon. We have straight, curly, and textured hair. We have been clients of Rizzie and Taylor for 4 years and have always received excellent cuts and color that are beyond our expectations. The front of staff is also exceptional in…

Went in for a simple cut, came out a lifelong fan of the salon! As someone with thick hair with different patterns, I never like the cuts I’ve received. Melinda did a true consultation with me, gave me her honest opinion, and made adjustments as asked. On top of her technical artistry, she is a wonderful human to…

I’ve been coming to Republic for maybe 5 years now, and I have consistently had a great experience with each stylist I’ve been with, but I’ve primarily seen Melinda over the years! Overall great experience as I’ve had cuts and color done, where most recently I’ve gotten balayage as well to brighten up my blonde.…
