Master of color! First time client and have booked next two appointments.
I got my hair cut and styled by Isaac and I am very pleased with the result! I came in with over processed, fine hair. I had been battling with breakage, dryness, and frizz and was in need of some help! He took the time to listen to my previous hair history and future goals to grow long healthy hair. He took into…
Great experience as always. Thanks Tamara and Javier.
Steve looks at your face, discusses your lifestyle and makes great suggestions to make you look your best. He knows I want to brush through my hair and go. I get compliments daily on my hair and owe it all to his skill and talent. He always does a fabulous job!
I have had many great experiences with Steve Hightower Salon. Everyone is very personable, and they aim to please with excellent results! I highly recommend them! Even when you don't know what you want, they know exactly what hairstyle will flatter your natural look. Javier is amazing!
Isaac was amazing! My wash and “massage” was 5 Star! He was warm, gentle, and gave me an awesome trim and wonderful experience!
Isaac is AMAZING. He listened to me and did a great job with my hair. So happy to have found him and this salon.
I have been going to Steve Hightower for as long as he has been doing hair! He has done wonders for my hair and it's been amazing to watch him and his salon grow and thrive by adapting to changes and expanding their services, while also holding to the core value of making every client look their best!! Steve - and…
Steve is a master at his craft. He knows the industry, he knows the products and he knows how to design and style hair.
Steve Hightower gave me a wonderful haircut and color. I will definitely go back. Also, he is very kind and caring. I continued to see Steve since my initial visit and can't say enough good things about his hair talent. He does wonders with my hair. Also, the facials are outstanding.
Great staff; great haircut!
You can just relax; Steve's "magic hands" will do everything else. You will be delighted !
Always excellent professional service and attention. Recommend highly!
Visiting and found this place for root touch up and blowout. Isaac, my stylist, was absolutely lovely and talented. The salon is gorgeous and the people are very kind.
I've tried to post reviews in the past that would do Steve Hightower Salon including the stylists and employees justice but my words never seemed sufficient until now. I feel heard every time I sit in Isaac's chair. He understands color, personality and flair like no one I've ever met. He transforms my hair beyond…
Steve did a cut and color on my hair and it looks great. I would highly recommend him. He’s a really great guy also.
I had the best experience yesterday at Steve Hightower Salon. Isaac did an amazing job. From the base color, to the highlights, to the hair treatments to the cut and finally a style that I will be able to do at home. I have the perfect summer look now
What an absolute sweetheart, not to even mention master! Love at first sight. He did even better than I was hoping for.
My first time there was with Luna for a hair cut & style. I was very satisfied with my results. I went a couple of weeks ago and had Issac, once again the results were great. I had a wonderful experience and would recommend.
I have been getting my hair cut with Steve for many years, and he is the best. I have been to hairdressers who take forever to cut my hair and yet left it looking unpolished. Steve is sometimes done in 20 minutes with an expert, chic cut. I get compliments all the time on my hair. I had challenges with my hair at…
Steve is an amazing artist he gave me an all new style that is perfect for my face so love it he is amazing
Luna was so sweet, but I unfortunately did not get the hairstyle I wanted even though I showed a picture 3 times, before and during the process. I also got my hair thinned which I did NOT ask for so it was not a good surprise. Won’t be back but the people were nice.
Very welcoming and professional. Excellent haircut and good information.
I was so nervous, but Steve put me at ease and gave me wonderful advice, solutions, and tips for my thinning hair! I'm thrilled I found him. I certainly will use him going forward !! Keagan is darling and gave me a fabulous shampoo! Robin is a gem and also made me welcome and convinced me of being in the right…
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Steve Hightower Salon and the incredible work of Javier Ruiz. Every visit feels like a luxury experience from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is beautiful, welcoming, and truly feels like family. Javier is an absolute artist with hair. My color is always perfectly…
Hello everyone, my name is Doris, and to be honest, I don’t particularly like sharing on social media; but I must talk about a special jewel, Steve at Steve Hightower Hair Salon and Day Spa. If anyone is looking for a salon/spa, where you feel safe, secure, beautiful, and appreciated for your individuality, Steve’s…
Excellent style and service.
Steve is an expert, a master, and a generous teacher. 1) he educated me on all sorts of new data regarding treatments for thinning hair. 2) he masterfully cut my hair so that now - days later, it still falls perfectly into the style that I asked for and that I still love: a rare treat and testament to a…
Very professional. Welcoming. And accommodating.
Great place to have hair done.
Steve was a delight to work with and a master at his craft. He took the time to listen and explain the best style for my fine hair! I’m so glad I found my way to Hightower Salon and Spa…my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!!!
My first visit! Steve was helpful, caring and professional in helping me choose a new hair style. Also, good advise on my thinning hair.
Isaac was truly incredible! It has been a huge task trying to find a hair stylist that I can trust in Atlanta! He took the time to make sure I was comfortable with everything he did and took his time to pay attention to every detail! My hair turned out incredible exactly like I wanted! Isaac now how a client for life
Casey and Steve did fantastic work coloring and cutting my fine, thin hair. I highly recommend them.
The salon was absolutely amazing!! Right as I entered the door I was greeted and offered water. I didn’t have to wait at all and everyone was very kind and welcoming. I had Luna as my hairdresser and she got me right!!! She was so thoughtful throughout the entire experience and made sure that I loved my new look. I…
Five stars, always! Absolute perfection. Love this place, the team and the products. Great for mature, thinning hair, blondes and extensions. Highly recommend.
✨ A Truly Magical Salon Experience ✨ From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew this wasn’t just another hair appointment—it was an experience. The space itself radiates an eclectic, spiritual energy that instantly put me at ease. My soul felt safe here, like I had stumbled upon a little sanctuary hidden in…
Steve is extremely creative and redesigned my longtime hairstyle for my now grey hair. He explained why my current haircare products no longer work for the texture and thinning of my hair. His staff is warm, friendly and quite professional. The salon is easy to access in terms of location and parking. Fun to see the…
Steve was fantastic and incredibly patient. He really worked with me to make me feel confident with my thinning hair. I would absolutely recommend him.
I see Tamara Townsend regularly for lash lifts, brow and lash tinting, and facials. She is wonderful - deeply experienced, careful, and knowledgeable. And she is so kind, calm, and positive - I trust her implicitly and always leave feeling beautiful and relaxed after a session with her. She gives me great advice…
I recently visited Steve for the first time. I was a little apprehensive about trying someone new, but I was at the end of my rope with other stylist. I can honestly say I have found a new home! Steve exceeded my expectations, took the time to listen to my concerns and actually address them. I'm looking forward to…
Wonderful experience. Luna was great and understood what I was looking for. I was guided through the process with care and was given wonderful treatment. I have been receiving compliments almost daily on my hair!!
They are very professional and did a great job on my hair. The most relaxed environment. I definitely recommend this salon. Very very pleased :)
Luna is literally a MAGICIAN?!!? Like wow, the TALENT! After a series of terrible haircuts, I genuinely was starting to lose hope but Luna fixed up my hair and also gave me amazing tips along the way! She took her time and was very particular which I appreciated a lot. She gave me the best bangs I’ve ever had and…
Steve Hightower is a genuine artist who knows how to make each person attractive based on their features. It is a special experience to watch him work and you feel beautiful when you leave. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Have not had a poor experience ever. Highly recommend! My daughters have gone too!
Excellent, couldn’t expect anything more. They are kind and very professional, Javier understands my hair
I had my first appointment with Isaac today, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else now. He was so kind, professional, and helpful. I needed advice and direction about my style and hair health, and he gave me all the support I needed. I highly recommend booking with Isaac 💜
I cannot express how thrilled I am with the incredible work that Steve Hightower did on my hair at his salon. He performed a bleach double process, followed by a charcoal glaze that left my hair free of any brassiness and with a stunning, long-lasting shine. To repair any damage, he used an amazing Lanza emergency…
Luna is gifted at cutting hair, and is a super nice person. I love my “Miranda Priestly” hair cut. Short and attractive and easy to care for. Thanks Luna!!
Steve and David’s sound bath meditation is amazing. The ambiance, the professionalism and entire sound bath and bowls experience was magical. Thank you David and Steve for bringing this experience to the Atl. You both are a gift to the Atlanta Community. Thank you! Elizabeth
So happy to finally find someone that knows about aging women's hair issues. I've always had great hair and never imagined I would experience massive hair loss that I could see my scalp. Thank you Steve!
Finally found a stylist who understands how to achieve the most flattering cut for my face shape and hair texture. I get regular compliments on my cut . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The Best Salon Experience Ever! I cannot say enough good things about Javi at Steve Hightower Salon in Buckhead! When I walked in, my hair was extremely damaged, and I wasn’t sure if there was any hope for it. Javi completely transformed my hair, not just making it look beautiful, but truly restoring its health.…
I visited the salon on Friday 3/7 as a new client and scheduled with Javier. From the moment I walked inside I was greeted by two friendly ladies and felt welcomed as a new client. I have to give a huge shoutout to Javier for working almost an 8 hour shift on my hair. I had my appointment at 10 AM didn’t leave until…
If you want to look younger and you want to look stylish without looking high-end crazy, you can’t find a better place. Steve Hightower hair is amazing with color with style and with kindness So go you will enjoy yourself! G-740567 is your Google verification code. Don't share your code with anyone.
Excellent styling skills! Best cut I’ve had in quite some time. I’m glad I discovered Steve Hightower salon.
Steve Hightower Salon made my move to Atlanta from Orlando this past spring the best thing that happened to me since white bread. I highly recommend Steve's salon and all the personnel there. ❤️
I always have a great experience and wonderful results with Javier. My hair has never looked better! Javier is a true professional.
THE BEST. I have been going to Steve for approx. 15 years. Need I say more??
Steve is an expert in aging and thinning hair and has a treatment plan for all this. It was reassuring to know that you are in good hands.
Steve is an exceptional owner, business person, hair guru (even for my thinning hair) and shop floor runner...David is a great energy worker and handles sound therapy (look it up) with what appears to be a major investment in Tibetan sound jars...Hightower's joint is a spa and worth it for my family, friends, and myself.
Issac revived my hair with a mini-education on the specifics of caring for thinning hair while transforming my look with a color, cut and salon experience that was a five star experience. Hands down recommend!
Best updo in town!
I spent an afternoon here and was impressed with their services. The facial was the best I’ve ever had. My haircut and massage were excellent. The afternoon made me feel special!
I'm very happy with Steve. He is a true guru, especially when it comes to creative coloring. My hair color turned out vibrant and stunning. Thank you also for the impromptu master class!
The experience at this salon is everything I hoped for and more. Not only do they do a stellar job from start to finish, but the energy in the room is welcoming and comforting. Designed to bring you peace and zen in your experience, I enjoyed the over all ambience. Javier also made me feel so much more confident and beautiful in my hair!
I love my time with Steve and the whole crew! They are experts in all things hair and I trust them with cut, color, extensions - anything!
Javier and Steve are awesome!! Always caring and committed to their clients. Very personable and do an amazing job. I’ve been going to Steve Hightower Salon for 5+ years and there’s no need to look for another salon. The best!
Casey is awesome! Very professional and friendly.
I had almost given up on my hair! It’s been falling out and breaking so much. I thought some highlights might brighten it up but Steve added a couple extensions and WOW! My hair looks like it did 25 years ago!! Thanks so much!!
I didn’t just love the cut and color, I loved the conversation and the whole experience!
Javier did an amazing job with my hair! I had been wanting to do a complete change from blonde to red and it came out looking and feeling amazing! I was so impressed and will definitely be booking my hair appts here from now on :)
I couldn't be happier with my experience at Steve Hightower Hair Salon! Steve is absolutely amazing. He not only gave me the most beautiful haircut and highlights, but he also listened to my concerns about my fine, damaged hair. His expert advice and plan for restoring my hair's health have already made a noticeable…
Excellent
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Steve Hightower Hair Salon! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff, who were both friendly and professional. The salon's atmosphere is stylish and comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax. The hair wash was incredibly…
Great cut & color!
Excellent color and haircut!
I came to see Javier on the recommendation of a work friend and had a great experience. My service was clearly laid out for me including treatment, cut, style, and price, well before any work began. I got the exact color I wanted and I can’t wait to book again!
Loved the results!!
I have known for decades of Steve Hightower's reputation as a genius with thinning hair. After one. visit, I am a believer!
Everyone is wonderful; I get the best hair color and cuts!
Really enjoyed my first visit with Steve today, love my new hairstyle!
Alway wonderful!
My first visit : excellent haircut ( my hair is fine and dry) when I left no longer resembled a dried-up piece of tumbleweed. Salon is comfortable. Clean. Industrial chic . No frou-frou. Staff - starting with Steve-is perfect combination of friendly and professional. And you can park right in front!!
I would highly recommend Isaac Fenwick! He did my highlights, trimmed and styled my hair. I am beyond satisfied with the service he provided!
Steve Hightower's salon features cutting edge, creative and highly talented colorists and stylists. When I discovered the salon over 10 years ago, I never considered going anywhere else.
Steve Hightower Hair Salon & Day Spa is fabulous. I have had my hair cut and styled and had my nails done there and have had facials for years. They do a great job!
I absolutely adore Steve and cherish my “me” time a the salon!
Very impressed with Steve’s skill and warm personality.
Everyone leaves Steve's chair looking like a movie star!
Steve was the 3rd stop of trying to get my hair color right and he nailed it the first time with highlights instead of full color. No one ever suggested that it was all I needed until I came to Steve. He is the best in the business and from what I've seen of his portfolio he is also an artist who is in high demand.…
I had a great experience at Steve Hightower Hair Salon & Day Spa! Doug completely transformed my hair. I am so in love! He took me from dull to diva I can’t wait to come back again!!! Thank you
Love, love, love Steve and his salon! They are absolutely THE best! Wonderful experience every time!
I've been going to this salon for years. The professionals at Steve Hightower Salon and Day Spa know how to do everything to make you more beautiful.
Enjoyed Steve and Douglas. Great hair cuts from both. Steve was not available when I needed another hair, so Douglas did my last cut. Friendly staff and fun relaxed environment. Well worth the drive from Braselton.
Steve is amazing! I love my new hairstyle, and my husband says that I look much younger. Looking forward to seeing Steve every five weeks for my regular hair appointments. Steve is a blessing! 😊
I loved my hair result. The team was incredible and very professional. I highly recommend!
Great job
It was great being pampered and treated like a queen by Steve and his staff. Everyone was professional yet down to earth and went out of their way to ensure our comfort. Steve assessed the needs of our hair, explained them, and proceeded with our approval- this was a big deal to my teenager. He is so personable…
Loved Douglas at Steve Hightower Hair Salon & Day Spa! He was really really listened to what I wanted but more importantly, he knew what I needed! He was super nice, creative and professional and I love the result! I've found a gem! You won't be disappointed.
So happy I found this salon! Douglas was so caring and empathetic, he really took a lot of time to explain what type of cut would work best for me, and it turned out great! Will definitely be back.
Wonderful experience all around! Steve was very kind, he asked questions, listened, and recommended the best course of action for my hair. Love my haircut, I left feeling gratefully transformed! His whole staff was awesome, Claire was very helpful helping in helping me decide what products I needed. The salon’s…
Just saw Emily for a haircut/style! She did a great job helping me with my hair and gave great advice. Definitely planning to come back 😊
Steve is the best!! I went in wanting a change from my dull blonde color and cut. He convinced me to go dark auburn and he was right! Best color and cut. Steve is amazing at what he does. I also had a facial with Tamara which was wonderful and relaxing. Great services!!
Doug Murphy has been cutting my hair for almost 30 years and I can’t imagine anyone else touching my hair. He is definitely 5 stars! He has styled, cut and colored everyone from beauty pageant contestants to just every day people like myself. I have thick hair that is a combo of curly and straight and he cuts it…
Steve has been styling my hair for six years and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend!
I went to Steve Hightower for my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and they were a dream! Steve was so kind and helpful with my hair, and Salem did a beautiful job with my makeup. They were also able to fit in my MOH for the day. I even sent my husband to them for a haircut and beard trim and he looked wonderful…
Steve was wonderful! Can't wait to go back. Whole attitude is caring and it's a great environment! 10/10
Great service and wonderful experience! The BEST!
Wonderful stylists - have cut my hair during long (Steve) and now very short (Javier) looks and I am always happy. A great Atlanta business that has given back to the community through numerous charity benefits.
Have been using Hightower for approx. 15 years and I have never had a bad experience. Steve and his assistants have been on time, courteous, friendly, and professional. The best in Atlanta.
I always receive great service from Javier. Excellent skill combined with a personable character. 😊 Everyone I’ve come in contact with has always been very pleasant.
What a wonderful experience. Finding someone who understands fine, thinning hair in this town is hard. But Steve totally gets it. He takes the time to talk to you about things you can do to get your hair to a healthy state and options you have. Ladies and gents if you’ve been struggling with this you’ve found your salon and person. Thanks again
They were wonderful! I’ve found my new stylist!
Simply the best!
A fabulous full service salon with top notch stylists & estheticians. Steve, the owner, is a perfectionist as are the people who work for him. Believe me, that’s what you want with your skin & hair care! You will look & feel your best after any service at this salon.
I was given a package treatment by my fiancé for Valentine’s Day. I received a massage, manicure, pedicure, facial, and wash and style. Everything went well until the makeup and hairstyle. Steve Hightower gave me a poorly 5 min hair wash and leave in conditioner. He was doing a rush job on me. Then he awkwardly…
This salon is super professional. They take the health of their workers and clients seriously. Aaron did a great job on my hair! Super happy with it! If the pandemic has made you weary of getting a haircut, I would highly recommend going to this salon!
Steve Hightower is a magician with hair and particularly thin hair like mine. The cut and style he gave me was outstanding and I would highly recommend him . He also did my color and I was thrilled with the out come. Anytime would have been a pleasure to go to his salon but it had a greater importance now with…
