This was my first time at Republic and it was great! All the folks there were kind and the vibe was great. Charlee was a sweetheart and gave me an awesome haircut! Many thanks to her for the great experience and for helping me find a cut I loved 💛 Update: I have been seeing Charlee for a while now, and she always…
Charlee did an amazing job on my hair! I was worried because my hair is very thick and curly, but she definitely knew her stuff, and gave me exactly what I was looking for, with professional advice as well. Atmosphere was very nice, and the price was very reasonable for the service.
Came in for a trim on my pixie (which my first stylist at another salon in Athens I shall not name outlandishly misinterpreted...) having heard good things about Melinda. Needless to say she knew exactly what I was after and was not afraid to pull it off. Really clever and wonderful lady too! I want to be Melinda when I grow up :)
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…
Love love my experience here! Jocelyn is the sweetest person ever. She brought my inspo to life and took her time to make it perfect. Got wispy bangs and she worked so carefully to get them to what I wanted. Glossed my hair back to my original color after I had it a dark red and it was 10/10
I think her name was Claire... I'm so sorry if I got that wrong! First pro cut in 6 years and I'm so excited to have real layers again! Thanks so much! I'll be back!
Excellent service; I loved how my haircut turned out. Sharlee Azeltine was my stylist; I told her how I wanted it cut, and it turned out exactly as I asked. Plus, she is very sweet and professional.
Rizzie is fantastic! The cut and color are wonderful, and the whole experience was very pleasant!
Clare was amazing, as always!
I had a great time at Republic! The salon has a really chill atmosphere, and all of the people I interacted with were very nice. Tina was my stylist, and she did a great job cutting my hair and removing a large chunk of damaged hair that was over processed. She was also very fun to talk to!
Ask for Cameron, especially if you’re looking for a curly hair or wavy hair specialist. I got a haircut, some new bangs and a wash. They helped me get situated with some great affordable hair care products and made me feel right at home.
I was on a hair journey for about 2.5 years growing it out and enjoying the look . . . Until I didn't. It was then that I knew I needed a professional to get my hair back to the short style I craved again. But not any short style. A very particular one that I knew I could rock like I used to. It takes scissors and…
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…
I had the best experience with Jocelyn. Before she began the "experience", she took time to listen to me, understand my hopes for my hair 😊, my lifestyle, and my haircare routine. She has such a kind demeanor and was very attentive to my comfort during my visit. She also asked before she did anything, which was so…
I recently went to Katie and she did an insanely good job. Her description as a precision cutter is nothing short of the truth. I came away so happy. She was so intentional about letting me know what she was doing and was the first stylist who made bangs work for me (I have a cowlick). My boyfriend went and saw…
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!
Wonderfully managed salon, great customer service, and actually totally affordable. Charlie does an amazing job cutting and styling my wavy hair.
