Mariemarie Salon

I’ve been going to Amanda at Marie Marie for about a year and a half. I have long hair and might be a little particular about who cuts it and how. ;) Amanda always does a great job, gives me her honest and professional opinion, and is easy to talk with — she’s a sweetheart! I trust her completely with my hair. Just make sure you schedule a month or so in advance. This is a popular (i.e. busy) salon in our neighborhood.

BLAIR. IS. AMAZING. Her cut & color is by far the best in town. Love her!

I needed a haircut before an unexpected trip so I didn’t have much of a heads up. I called the shop and the only opening was with Shay, so I went with her. Very glad things worked out that way because she just gave me the best haircut I’ve had in years. Really lucky that this is so convenient to my house because I’d happily drive from Alpharetta for a cut like this.

Great service and awesome smelling products. The men’s cut was just okay, but the $ 35+5 is just way too pricey for an okay men’s cut. I observed them cut women’s hair, and they are very technically skilled with women’s hair. Great for women (with lots of money), but not so much for men.

I finally found my salon! First I saw Amanda, who gave me a new shoulder length cut, also helping to reshape and grow out what used to be straight bangs, leaving the right amount for a side swept bang. She was so easy to talk to and work with, and I get SO many compliments on my cut! I tried to book with her before an event and had waited too long, so I saw Patrick. I told him what Amanda was doing with the growing out bang section and he was really nice, and agreed with Amanda’s plan for my cut. He also did my color, not only is he speedy in a great way, but my hair color is phenomenal! Again, tons of compliments! I will not go anywhere else, and recommend Amanda and Patrick!

Not gonna lie, my hair was busted when I called mariemarie. It was a frequent canvas for student stylists and needed help bad! The receptionist was so pleasant and recommended Patrick as top colorist to highlight/​fix my hair. The salon is bright, cozy, and naturally stylish. Patrick was friendly and professional as we consulted, and he quickly identified the problem areas of my hair and offered solutions. Oh my god, my hair looks amazing!
The highlights are the perfect color, so subtle and blended. They look natural and you can’t see the choppy streaks previously visible. He trimmed up my ends, and added some movement in the front while keeping it simple in the back. Patrick is a true artist at his craft and incredibly talented.
I love my hair and definitely recommend Patrick and mariemarie!

This review is not for the salon itself, but for my hairdresser, Patrick.
Off the bat, he asked me if I had any pictures and I showed him the 5 photos I brought in. I wanted the new «ecaille» hairstyle — just a darker base color with a few babylights.
Everything started off fine, he was combing out my knotty hair and we were discussing the processes I want. Then things got weird. He started telling me how sh**ty my hair is, asking if I was a swimmer because «[he’s] only seen hair this dead on swimmers.» He told me that he didn’t feel comfortable putting highlights in my hair because he didn’t believe that my hair could handle that process. As a person with fine hair, I always knew that was a risk and I was a little bummed, but not devastated. I asked him why my other hair dressers (from high-​end salons in Los Angeles) had never expressed that my hair was so damaged, and he berated me asking why I was giving him such an attitude. I assured him that I was just asking because I had never heard anything like that! (As if anyone would be all smiles and giggles while their hairdresser tells you how ugly you are). Patrick claimed my other hairdressers didn’t tell me my hair was so crappy because he was because he was far more «ethical» than them.
He then told me I rubbed him the wrong way and asked me to leave, but he would be «happy to refer me to someone else.» I had never had a hairdresser make me cry before, but now I can cross that off my bucket list.

Amanda is great with curly hair. She actually cares and listens to what you want. I have been to lots of hair salons looking for the perfect person to cut my curly hair. And she is great, we talked like we’ve known each other for years. I will definitely drive an hour to see her again.

I’ve been coming to mariemarie for about a year now after finding it highly rated on Unilocal and in my ‘hood. I have never been the type to have a «hair person» that I pledge allegiance to and would follow ITP for or even return to the salon for. I was a scoutmob deal follower and although none of those experiences were bad per se, they didn’t instill a lot of loyalty. All that changed when I sat in Amanda’s chair at mariemarie.
First we sat down and talked about my hair– how I style it (honestly– somedays brushing is a stretch), it’s texture and quirks, and what I wanted with my cut (built in volume and style that required little to zero primping– hey she asked). This wasn’t just a first time thing either– Amanda and I talk about the style I want and she delivers every single time I go in. The cuts are always amazing and she knows hair. The things I have written off as impossible to expect from a haircut with my hair happen regularly in her chair.
The salon itself is also top notch– complimentary beverages (including wine) when you walk in, awesome Davines products, very clean with a nice atmosphere and all the stylists are so welcoming. This is a salon that knows serious hair and styling, but doesn’t fall into the trap of taking itself too seriously– everyone is having a good time. I always leave in an awesome mood with a great haircut. If you are looking for a new place for your locks to call home check out mariemarie– you will not be disappointed.

I love, love, love Mariemarie. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. Jordan is adorable and so charming to talk to. She gave me a cut that looks great and works perfectly for me — I told her I don’t like blow drying my hair, and she made sure to cut it in a way that would accentuate the natural waves in my hair that come out when I air dry. She explained everything she was doing and suggested some products to try, without being the slightest bit pushy about selling them to me. She even sent me home with a couple of free samples to try. The price of the cut was very reasonable, too! Overall, I had a fantastic experience here and I can’t wait to come back. :)

I had my hair cut with Amanda! She is just an amazing person and a awesome hair artist! I love my haircut, first time doing my hair in the US and she did an great job!

Great service. Seen the moment I walk in I felt very comfortable. I saw Patrick he listen to my complaint and took the the time to explain to me what he can do to make my hair better. Highly recommend the salon.

My first impression was that they were very quick to respond to my inquiry about a hair consultation. They either e-​mail you or text you, which is a very convenient communication style.
This place does not normally take walk-​ins, because the hair stylists schedule their own hours.
I met with Patrick for a hair consultation and I wanted a rose gold ombré because my brown hair dye was fading and I wanted something new and different.
Since I have very thick, long hair, the process was from 11am — 3:45pm.
What I liked about Patrick is that he said he was a «perfectionist».
He does not settle for mediocre work and so I was not complaining when we had to go back and rewash my hair because the color didn’t quite «pop».
Although my hair appointment did run into another one, Patrick was very honest and apologetic.
My hair did turn out nicely, although I wish the pink color was more prominent. The pinkness did fade after about 2 weeks, which, I knew would happen.
The price for just the color and touch up (my roots) was $ 220.
Patrick said he would touch up my hair $ 30, but I don’t think I will consider it.

These reviews could not be more accurate, and there is a reason that MarieMarie has 5 stars.
I am a new client and came in yesterday to see Amanda. Amanda as a person is super amazing. She is kind, outgoing, caring and explains everything she is doing. Amanda is just out right awesome.
I have been getting my hair done every 6 – 8 weeks since I was 12. I bleach A LOT, and finding a good shade of blonde is extremely difficult. So when I am going somewhere new I try to explain what I want to the best of my abilities, although it can be hard. Amanda helped so much. She asked me a lot of questions and helped me explain what I was looking for when I couldn’t quite find the words.
We were able to achieve a great look and get my hair to a very good place (I had a lot of previous color going on and some majorly grown out roots). I will definitely have to go back a couple times to really get where I want, but I knew that and Amanda explained that to me early in the appointment.
I also did a cut with my color appt, and its incredible. Easily one of the best cuts I have had in a long time. Amanda listened to exactly what I wanted and it was very easy to talk to her.
I can’t wait to go back!
Another little tip (because I like to get perm waves every once in a while), Amanda would be the go to for that. I think she is the only stylist who does them at MarieMarie, but I could be totally wrong.

Patrick did a fantastic job with dying my hair. It was exactly the color I wanted and he even educated me on exactly what he was doing the entire time — which was a pleasant surprise!
The salon overall was delightful. The doors were wide open on a warm fall evening and Patrick was ready to go the moment I walked inside. I’ve been to a few of the «hip, cool» salons in the Atlanta area since moving here and the stylists always seemed to have this pretentious «i’m better than you» attitude which turns me off tremendously. However, at Mariemarie I did not sense that with a single person I encountered. Everyone was friendly and it was a very relaxing atmosphere.
Prices were the lowest I’ve come across which is a huge plus. I will surely be back! :^)

Mariemarie is amazing, here’s why:
1. Debi — seriously, the best cut I’ve had in years. I have long curly hair AND bangs which can be a quick recipe for disaster. Thanks to Debi I went from mullet to magnificent in under an hour. She LISTENS to what you want, makes appropriate suggestions as a professional, and cuts hair with purpose and intention. Plus she’s a great lady and has pretty hair.
2. The Salon — charming, warm and open. Go on a Monday (their slow day) if you dig a super relaxed vibe.
3. My hair — rocks. If I didn’t take such bad selfies I’d post a picture as proof.
Thank you, Mariemarie!

I haven’t always been the most loyal customer of hair stylists. I suppose it’s a reaction to the fact that my mother has had the same hair stylist for 34 years (and the exact same haircut, too). I’ve been to Amanda several times over the last nine months, and for good reason.
Aside from being super sweet, Amanda is great with my curls. She has given me several cuts now and has also done highlights. Each time, she works with me to talk through what I like, what I don’t like, and how we can make it work with my hair. I walk out of that salon each visit feeling like a million bucks!
If you are tired of hair stylists blowing out or straight ironing your curls, and if you’re looking for someone who actually enjoys working with curly hair, I’d recommend giving Amanda a try! In 30 years, she’s the first person who seems to really «get» my hair.
Bonus: I love getting my reminder texts from mariemarie and knowing that there’s an actual person on the other side of the phone when I respond. The personal touch at mariemarie is really pleasant.

Soooo disappointing. I had my hair cut and colored here at the end of April by Andrew. I have a platinum blonde short haircut and he didn’t match the roots to my current shade — I didn’t notice how drastic it was until I got into natural light and EVERYONE noticed. So — after more than two and a half hours and around $ 150 spent in the salon, I was pretty unhappy.
Unfortunately, I don’t live in Atlanta, so I couldn’t go back to have Andrew fix it. I had to go somewhere else to have my color corrected and I contacted Andrew to tell him I was unhappy — even sending pictures of how uneven the color was. He promised to send a check refunding what I paid for my color.
I never received the check and when I reminded him after three weeks, I never heard back. Since they are all private entities at that salon, there was no owner or manager to make sure I was satisfied.

So… I thought I would be able to ombré my own hair after watching one to many YouTube videos o_​O. After that butchering, I took to Unilocal to find a salon with the best reviews, which brings me to MarieMarie.
I sent them an email, they contacted me a few days later, we booked an appointment for the following week. Easy as pie! I also told the person at the salon that I wanted some color correction and she recommended Patrick.
Patrick was AWESOME!!! Not only was he a super nice guy with a great beard, he colored my hair exactly as I imagined in my head! He toned down that crazy orange/​gold color I blessed myself with and added more highlights. I’m a very satisfied customer. FYI, I have very curly, long, and thick AA type hair.

I recently got a haircut from Debi Blair at mariemarie. She is great! My hair is thick and curly, so I never expect any hair stylist to straighten my hair, but she offered and did a fantastic job with difficult hair. She listened to how I usually wear my hair and went from there. Overall, I’m very pleased with her work.
The salon is also nice– clean and chic. All of the stylists were friendly.
Also, prices were fair. Around $ 50 for a wash, cut, and dry.
