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…

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.

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 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 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…

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…

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…

BEST haircut of my life! I did a BIG chop almost 20 inches off and I got a bob. Tina did my hair and it was phenomenal, I absolutely love it. If you want the best layers of your life see Tina, she never disappoints! Front desk was super nice and offered me drinks twice! love it there.

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…
