I got Charlee as my hair stylist and she was nothing short of amazing 🌟 My hair coming in was a very rich brown and all one length. Leaving Republic salon, I now have layers and the most beautiful blonde to my hair. Charlee worked on her feet doing my hair for basically 7 hours straight and was so kind and just…
Rizzie is fantastic! The cut and color are wonderful, and the whole experience was very pleasant!
I absolutely loved the salon and Lyric. From the moment I walked in I received the best customer service. From the front desk I was greeted, offered something to drink and they explained the set up of the salon and made me feel at home. Lyric was amazing. She took the time to listen to me and what I wanted…
The whole experience at Republic was fantastic! Tina was so wonderful and my hair looks and feels amazing, and everyone seems to agree with me 😁 Since I left my appointment i have received an email and postcard from the owner thanking me for my business. I love the personal touch and highly recommend you treat yourself and go to Republic!
I had such a great experience at Republic Salon! Sarah H. did my haircut and balayage, and she absolutely nailed the cut—it looks amazing and exactly what I wanted. I ended up not loving the color I originally chose (totally on me, not her at all), but the team was so accommodating and got me in with Rizz right…
Clare gave me incredible blonde for my wedding! Amazing salon.
I am in LOVE with my new hair! Both color and haircut were just what I asked for and the stylist really took time to make sure that I was happy. Great staff (even offered wine and beer) and a clean salon. I will definitely be back!
I think it’s been enough time for me to come to terms with how I feel about my new hair. The atmosphere of this place is very nice and the front desk worker was really sweet. My hair stylist is clearly skilled, however, I don’t think I have received what I asked for. I came in for chunky highlight and dyeing some of…
I was done by Tina! They were awesome and I never felt so comfortable in a salon before! Thank you hun!
Sarah is the best! My hair looks amazing and it was so much fun talking with her while she worked her magic! 💜
Republic is awesome. Love the space and Lyric is a true artist. She always makes me feel like a new person & her color skills are completely next level.
Republic Salon is perfect from the staff, the vibe, the quality of hair care…love it. I’ve enjoyed their services for nearly 3 years! Thanks, Patrick, Alex & Cameron, you are rock stars.
I've been going to Lyric for eleven years. She's an artist and such a professional. She's the best stylist and colorist I've ever had. Your hair will be perfect. And she's lovely!
Twenty-four years of living in Athens… and half of those were spent sampling different stylists and salons in Athens and Atlanta. And then I went to Lyric! A common story, I suspect. Good luck finding a more talented stylist and a finer salon with a better vibe. Total pros from the front of the house to the…
Charlie is amazinggg!! 10/10 recommend. She brought my hair back to life with the new color and cut!!
I've been seeing Tina for a couple years now and she is amazing! She always knows how to bring my ideas to life. She also offers great conversation and is extremely knowledgeable!! The front desk was also friendly :)
My teenage daughter wanted a cut and color so we went in for a consultation. I was given a WRITTEN estimate for $200-$300 dollars. I was told to expect that it would be closer to $200 unless it was an extreme case that required a substantial amount of more product than expected. When I arrived to pick my daughter up…
Love this salon and Rizzi is simply amazing!!!
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 never liked my hair until I started going to Cameron! Now I feel much more confident and know how to treat and style my hair. Even after moving to Atlanta, I still come to Republic Salon to get my hair done.
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…
Stumbled in here a few weeks ago,, out of desperation. Fairly new to Athens and needed my thick hair calmed down ASAP. Was recommended to Cameron for thick and curly hair. She was available, 😃 (she was not called up for Jury Duty. 😚) super , super happy with my cut and color. And there was a Terrapin while my…
This was the best hair experience I’ve ever had. My stylist torii, did a phenomenal job with my color and my cut. She made sure to ask plenty of questions to help me get the exact color and style I wanted. We had a great time together! She was so sweet and we had lots of laughs! The overall demeanor of the salon…
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…
It was pretty expensive for a cut and color but it was well worth the price. There is an accessibility issue. There are two HUGE flights of stairs to reach your destination. I was embarrassed by how much I couldn't breath by the time I reached the top. I found an older woman taking a breather between the flights of…
From the moment you arrive at Republic Salon until the moment you leave the treatment is phenomenal, not only they make you feel appreciated by offering you something to drink of your choice and they welcome you with a smile but also every person you deal with has an awesome attitude and they are super friendly. My…
I’m so happy I finally found a salon with kind, honest, professional staff who are fantastic at what they do! If you’re looking for a balayage style you should go with Tori. The amount of compliments I had on my hair after a balayage appointment with her was the most I’ve ever had after a visit to the salon. She’s…
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…
My second time coming to this salon and going to Dersy she’s an amazing stylist and a great conversationalist ! She made the experience that much more comfortable and exciting (: I love how my highlights came out I will definitely be making this my permanent salon.
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.…
Called to make an appointment with someone who knew how to cut curly hair and could do highlights. Front desk suggested Melinda--no information given other than she was one of their most experienced in curly. Great so far. So drove in from out of town for the appt, it went fine (although she talked me out of…
Deanna was my stylist and I asked her for a balayage with red and copper colors worked in. She did a fantastic job with my hair and consistently made me feel comfortable throughout my appointment. Not to mention, my hair turned out beautiful! She made lovely conversation and the environment itself was buzzing with…
Had a great appointment with Deanna who did an amazing job. She listened to what I wanted carefully and walked me through the process and took her time. Came out with beautiful colour and exactly what I wanted. Great pricing as well. Was offered beverages during the process and sipped on some pinot during my…
I had a cut and color with Deanna today she was wonderful. She listened to what I wanted and made great suggestions. She took the time to make sure everything was perfect and I was happy with everything. I will definitely be back and will recommend her to everyone.
I had a great experience at Republic Salon! Melinda recommended the best options to get my hair to the color I wanted to without causing too much damage to it. She’s so lovely and always made sure everything was perfect. She has a great personality and I loved her energy throughout the entire process. I love how my…
I have had the best experiences at Republic Salon! Everyone is so kind and puts a great amount of effort and care into your hair. They make you feel comfortable and explain what they’re doing every step of the way.
Andrea at Republic Salon is the best! I've seen her twice in the past three months and it's honestly the best cut, color and style I've ever had. I'm only in Athens for a few months, but will be sure to book an appointment the next time I know I'll be visiting.
I had a great experience at the salon! Melinda did my balayage and did an amazing job, I highly recommend her.
Had an absolutely amazing experience with Melinda; together she and I were able to create a style that I absolutely love and I'm really thankful that she convinced me to go with balayage over traditional highlights, as it looks amazing. Will definitely be visiting again for touchups/recoloring; the service was…
Andrea did my hair & she did absolutely AMAZING. The whole salon was clean, friendly workers, & comfortable space. Inside the salon was just amazing, I was blown away.
