d' Artiste Hair Salon - Duluth, Georgia

NUTTIDA CHOMPHUKAWIN

Drove 4 hours from home town to Atlanta and realized that we needed a haircut. We called this place asking if they would take us in on their busy Saturday schedule and they did! Thank you all for taking great care of us! My hair looks so pretty walking out of the salon.

If you are ok with your stylist not following your requests but exercising their own whims, then this may be a good place for you. The first time I went, while I was at first not thrilled with getting a cut that was different than expected, it worked out well and looked fine, which is why I went back for a cut the second time -- but this time was a disaster! Probably one of the worst haircuts I've ever gotten. I actually requested a similar haircut to my 1st one that Joseph gave me, and showed him a photo of myself after that cut along with another photo of what I was aiming for. I also specified that I needed a cut that was long enough that I could pull all my hair back in a ponytail (for a trip I was going on with lots of outdoor sports) and secondly, I have acne that flares up whenever I have hair (such as bangs) over my face. The first thing Joseph did was comb my hair over my face and slice it off short -- when I spoke up to ask, "wait, I didn't want it to be that short, will you be cutting the rest of it longer" he replied "don't worry, don't worry" and kept going without any explanation. The rest of the cut left me looking like I had taken kitchen shears one day and just chopped off my hair in one go. He spent just over that amount of time doing it too. I asked him not to style it with any curl after so I could see what it looked like when he was done and might be able to ask for edits, but he also ignored that and styled it with curl (and really bad style that made me look like I was coming outta the late 80s/ early 90s) so I couldn't really tell the outcome of the cut until I washed and dried it that night. I wonder if perhaps there was a language barrier at play - I don't speak Korean; if so, I wish he had pulled his assistant to help with interpretation!

Since then, it's looked so awful I've had to wear it pulled back to conceal it for the past 6 months, as I couldn't even find a way to style it to make it look half decent. Furthermore, my acne flared up all along the sides of my forehead, cheeks, and chin from my bangs being too short to pull back (and even without using any styling products, my skin is just that reactive) until about 2 months ago when the bangs were finally long enough to keep pulled back, and it's caused scarring and dark spots. I was pretty incensed at the price of the cut at the end, too, but don't like making a scene so I just paid and left.

All this to say, please be aware of what you may be getting if you come here! The one part of the experience that gets a star is the sweet assistant who did a great hair washing.

I wish my previous stylist hadn't retired!

Joseph is the best hair artist in Atlanta.
The beauty salon is luxurious, clean, and sanitary, so it's very comfortable and nice.
Make sure you make a reservation.

I really regret taking my daughter to this hair salon.
She’s been crying for the past 3 days because of the haircut they gave her.

She showed Joseph a reference photo beforehand and asked him to not cut much, only to give her a trim.
But when he was done, I was shocked to see her new style was very much different from the photo she showed to Joseph.

My daughter said that Joseph kept cutting her hair off in chunks with a razor without warning. He never communicated beforehand what he was going to do, but just cut out her hair much more than she wanted even when she asked him to stop. He said my daughter’s hair was damaged, but my daughter’s hair is not as her hair has no!perm or coloring.

I remember that, when I myself came to this salon last time, Joseph cut my hair more than I asked.
Every time I visited here myself, they pushed hundreds of dollars worth of expensive treatment on me, saying my hair was damaged. I accepted that expensive treatment once but it wasn’t effective at all in my opinion, so $150 went down the drain on the spot.

His cut for my daughter itself was not satisfactory either. The layering looks horrible after she washed it, and now her hair is thin and damaged from the razor he used on it.

I think a stylist should not cut however s/he likes but how the customer asks her/him to do.
Now I am at a loss about what I can help and reduce my poor teenage girl’s sadness with the terrible hair cut…

Joseph usually does me and my husband’s hair and his assistant Alisha usually cuts my children. They are all awesome, experienced people who know what they are doing. Anyone can be a barber.. but Joseph is a stylist. I love his recommendations and appreciate the sensitive touch that he puts into each of the hairstyle. Thank you!!

Alisha, Jinny, and Joseph are amazing! Professional as always and great hair cuts. I travel all around in New York, Texas, Spain, Korea and have yet to meet anyone better. Highly recommend to anyone!
