My stylist moved.... YAY!!! My stylist moved!!!
If any of you had ever been to Vis a Vis salon in Buckhead, my stylist was known as Joseph there... But now that HE HAS MOVED TO DRAGONFLY he can go by his actual name. Jeff. He is the best. I loved him at Vis a Vis, I really did. But he was the only reason I went there.
Dragonfly is so much more his style, my style, just better. It's upscale, but not stuffy and hoity toity. You are well taken care of from the moment you walk in and Jeff is more comfortable there which makes the experience even better. They still have all the niceties of the hoity, without the toity.
I have been going to Jeff for about two years and I am following him to Dragonfly. The area is better, the parking is free (and you don't HAVE to valet) the space the salon is in has a Yeah Burger and a West Egg Cafe nearby (like walking nearby), so much better. It's located closer to me and closer to the connector which makes it easier for everyone.
Now, the cut. Jeff spent time talking with me and listening to what I wanted and how I felt about bangs... I have had them for over a year and I was banged out... he knows I prefer to wash and go with my hair and works with me on this, even though "I could do so much with the cut that would look great" I am not that girl. I need a wash and go cut that looks good, but has the versatility that if I wanted to work on it, I could. That's what he gave me and I love it.
There are a few differences from "the other salon," Jeff has no assistant, which I prefer. He can learn more about the texture of your hair by being the one that washes it and see the condition of it. And... I saw him use a broom when my cut was done.... A BROOM.
He is a great stylist and I am so happy that he is in a salon that fits his personality and the personality of a lot of his clients. But be prepared to still laugh. Jeff is a funny man.
Dragonfly is BEHIND Abattoir on the second floor. There is only one way through the building and it is not near Abattoir, it is near Howell Mill, by the walking bridge. -

I give this place one star because I have to, they should get zero stars. I went there because I got a GroupOn for a Keratin Brazilian hair straightening treatment. I have gotten them several times before at other salons, and they are awesome! I have always loved how stick straight and soft they make my hair. But not so much at Dragonfly.
What a complete SCAM. After the treatment, my hair was STILL CURLY!! But the best part is, when I called them, no only did they NOT apologize, they told me in a very condescending tone, that Keratin's do not "straighten" your hair, they just "relax" it. Oh really?! Then why does it say on your website that it is a straightening treatment? And why does the treatment straighten your hair at every other salon in Atlanta?
Be forewarned, ladies!! Do NOT go there. Major rip-off alert!!! -

I knew I never should have cheated on my current hairdresser, but I'm the kinda gal who can't resist a good deal on a salon with so many great reviews. http://HalfOffDepot.com is one of my favorite websites in the world. One day they offered a great deal: $40 for a $100 value at Dragonfly Salon. After checking the reviews on Yelp and various other websites I decided to give them a shot. Last week I finally scheduled an appointment. I had a hard time finding the place which made me about 15 minutes late to my appointment, but not before calling 5 minutes until my appointment to say I was lost and would be late. I am always considerate to someone elses time especially in a salon.
Upon arrival I'm warmly greeted by a nice young man, but next to him is this surly looking dude who I can swear is giving me stink eye. The receptionist instructs me to put on the robe and to have a seat in the waiting area. I don't make a fuss because I was the one who was late and I'm sure caused some kind of appointment overlap. I sit there for a few minutes until I realize the surly dude next to the receptionist isd my hairdresser. Oh boy. He gives a quick little hello and without another word he just turns his back on me and walks away. I assume I'm supposed to follow so I round the corner and see him sitting behind a chair. He then pats on it with his hand indicating that I should sit in it. I find myself annoyed that I'm being beckoned like a dog, but bite my tongue despite the fact that my gut is telling me to eat the $40 investment and run. I take my hair down from my ponytail and he just kinda sifts through it with a look of utter annoyance on his face. FYI: I go to a early morning bootcamp everyday and had washed my hair before coming so some poor bastard wouldn't have to wash dirt, twigs, and disgusting sweat off my head. Again I'm trying to be as considerate as possible. He just looks at me and says with total attitude "You washed your hair before coming here?" I tell him about bootcamp... and he literally rolled his eyes and hmmph'd me. Did he think I was trying to save a few bucks by washing my hair at home? At this point I didn't care and just wanted to get my hair cut. He literally said NOTHING to me the whole time he was cutting my hair. He was even pretty rough when it came to adjusting the tilt/direction of my head. Even worse he never put a haircutting cape on me so I ended up with little hairs all down the front and back of my shirt. Once the haircut/blowout was done he just kinda walked away and I once again led myself out to the front desk to pay. I give them the coupon and find that that days visit exhausted the entire $100 balance. I was floored! Not only have I had better haircuts and styling at a salon for half that price, but I would also get someone pleasant and with wonderful people skills. Maybe I got the wrong hairdresser, but at this point the damage is done. Never, ever going back.
Update: Its been exactly a week since my haircut and I've found little stray uneven hairs all over the place. Thanks for nothing, Todd. -

finding a stylist to suit your hair AND your personality is no small feat, and after 5 years in Atlanta without someone i could trust 100% to not send me out of the salon with a 1997 Friends-esque blowout, i was beginning to think it might be impossible...
but enter dragonfly. more accurately, Adriene at dragonfly!
dying for a trim, i walked in on a random afternoon. the stars were aligned because i ended up seeing Adriene and finding the stylist i'd been looking for for so long :) without me having to say so, she knew i wasn't the bouffant-blowout type of gal and truly has given me two of my favorite haircuts of all time, and i've gotten the compliments to prove it.
everyone else at the salon has been sweet and wonderful as well, very accomodating. absolutely 5 stars!Listed in: all good in my hood...

I went to Dragonfly this past weekend. Though I'm sure the stylists are talented, the salon is lacking in customer service and in providing attention to the PAYING CUSTOMER. My child care options fell through the day before my appointment and I called the salon to ask if it would be OK if I brought my 3 year old with me. They told me "no problem, you can set her up in the waiting area near where you'll be getting your hair done". I did just that but received attitude for it and no one welcomed me to the salon, thanked me for my business, etc. I was told to move the DVD player and coloring book I had set up for my daughter. She was well-behaved so it's not as if she was disrupting the place. I just think they don't understand that you have to provide not only good hair services but to make their customers feel comfortable and appreciated. I won't be back.

I've been Sarah for my hair cuts the past few years, starting when she was at James Madison Salon in Midtown. She recently moved to Dragonfly some six months ago, and I went recently to have my hair cut. I would agree that this salon is maybe not as warm a place as some other salons I've been to, but Sarah knows my hair and is always super-accommodating to me and my hair needs. This is why I followed her to this particular salon. Whenever I need a quick trim, she's happy to take me in the day of and fix whatever issue I'm having. She is also very good at helping me assess new hairstyle ideas and making them work for me, but also is very honest when she thinks something will not work which I greatly appreciate. Aside from that, she's just a really cool person and I always have a blast getting my hair cut with her because we talk about anything and everything. It's like seeing an old friend. I haven't had any experience with any of the other stylists, and honestly I'm not really one to care so much about people being bubbly and smiley when I go to get my hair cut. I just want my hair to look good, and Sarah does the job every time. Sarah charges $65 for a haircut, which I think is kind of a steal for someone of her skill level. She just knows what she's doing and I never feel scared to be sitting in her chair. Plus, she trained at Vidal Sassoon and was a stylist there for years, and they are known for turning out some of the best precision hair cutters in the industry.
I have yet to try any of the colorists, but I plan to get some color done soon, so I will update once that happens. -

In Atlanta, it's difficult to find people who cut hair very well in a laid-back, unpretentious environment. Located on Howell Mill near Bacchanalia and JCT kitchen, Dragonfly occupies a trendy, minimalist space without the snobbery of a lot of other salons. Chaz has been cutting my hair for a couple of years and he is amazing, talented, and professional. A lot of the stylists are formerly of Vis a Vis Salon in Buckhead, but they followed Chaz over after he opened his own place. I would highly recommend any of the stylists here. Note-- the cuts aren't cheap, but I wouldn't go anywhere else!
