Meldora Hair Salon

I come here pretty much every 4 – 6 weeks to get my natural hair washed and pressed, and my split ends cut, and I absolutely love it. I’m never disappointed with the service and the stylists are fun and great to talk to. There’s lots of natural light, everyone’s accommodating and I know they’ll give my hair the treatment it needs to last until another appointment. I dig it a lot.

Tish does my hair!
My usual is the wash and straighten routine, nothing fancy. The salon is always clean and has a nice atmosphere!

The service was prompt and timely (even as a walk in), professional, and the styling was excellent. Jael may be a new stylist, but she exuded confidence in dealing with my super thick natural hair. And she worked it out. I am very satisfied with my trim and style. It didn’t seem like she cut very much hair leaving me to believe that she didn’t get all the split ends initially, but she did. I will be back!

I was very disappointed with my experience with this salon. As a guy, I have typically had my hair cut at basic places. Great Clips, Supercuts, etc. Being new in the area I thought I would patronize a local business, visit a «real» salon, and see if spending a few more bucks was worth it. Unfortunately, I found it was not. I showed up 5 minutes early for my appointment, and was not in the chair until 45 minutes past my appointment time. As I was sitting and waiting, a «regular» came through the door, yelled a hello across the room, and was serviced immediately. Once I was in the chair, the stylist worked as slow as molasses. After about 15 minutes in the chair, another stylist took over and finished the job. The hairstyle I ended up with was nothing special. To add insult to injury, I was charged an additional $ 20 premium because my hair was long to begin with. $ 20 for an extra minute to chop off 4 inches before beginning the styling. So, what I anticipated to be a $ 25 haircut for him ended up being a $ 45 haircut. It took an hour and a half to do what a basic salon can do in 15 minutes, with no better results. I had to call my date for the evening and move back our meet up time. Lesson learned. I will never go back. Next time I will go to Great Clips, spend $ 15, and walk out looking the same, if not better.

I just had my hair down here for the first time and Hannah was great. She listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly the haircut I asked for. Very helpful and friendly. Thank you :)

I have been to this salon many time over the past year and have always been super happy with my cut and experience. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly, with none of the silly judgmental attitude that I feel in so many salons. My hair is really tricky to cut and Hannah always does great work!

Stephanie is amazing! She always does a great job. The salon is very relaxed and I love the fact that it’s diverse as well. I always enjoy my visit.

I had driven past Meldora for the last couple of years. I had been getting my hair cut at another salon about six or eight blocks away on the same street. The stylist at the other place was good, but the salon experience there was pretty poor. A friend suggested Meldora. Today was my second time there.
The staff is professional and friendly, Both times I’ve been there, I’ve been warmly greeted and treated courteously. Stephanie has cut my hair. She’s one of the best stylist I’ve ever seen. My hair can be difficult to manage but after the last cut I could shampoo and condition it and often didn’t need other products for it to lay well.
I highly recommend Meldora and Stephanie. While the other staff are friendly and professional, Stephanie is the only one I’ve seen. As long as she’s there, that’s the Meldora’s the only salon I’ll go to.

I’ve had mostly good experiences with this place. The people are friendly and very talented, it’s clean and moderately priced. I got my hair cut here and I’m not sure if the stylist was sure if I wanted a trim or cut but she took too much off the back. It took me a long time to grow my hair out and I didn’t know she was chopping so much off. I know it’s for the better because my ends were split and dry like no other, but I was freaking out over the length I lost. Ended up paying about $ 10 more than what I would have liked and my hair didn’t look so awesome style-​wise, which was disappointing. I should’ve asked for a rod set or something. Otherwise, Meldora is a good salon, I’ve had great hairstyles there repeatedly for a reasonable price, plus they get you in and out quick. I’ll return for services again in 4 – 6 months.
Update: It’s the next day, after styling my hair I’m much more comfortable with the cut and much more thankful that I’m not dealing with dry, split ends anymore.

Today Meldora contacted me and stated she did not want me as a client because I wrote a bad review about her. She also stated that she is taking care of her mother in law and has the right to cancel her clients. I explained I had somewhere I had to be at a certain time and she stated her life was a little more important. I had referred 3 friends to her and they will no longer continue business with her. This review will also be shared via Facebook and email so that others are aware of punctuality and how a stylist that I was very excited about finding turned out not be what I had hoped.

Had been putting off getting a haircut for way too many months. I have thick curly hair and I have no idea how to talk about what my hair should look like. I went to Meldora on a whim, I drive by it all the time, it’s very near my house. Stephanie gave me a great haircut, and I plan to keep going back to Meldora for my haircuts, and that’s really the best review I can give it.

It’s my pleasure to recommend Stephanie at Meldora Hair Salon. She is such a delight and did an outstanding job with my hair. She recommends new styles, but allows me to make the final decision (but her suggestions are great). The Salon is very accessible with plenty of parking and everyone is very friendly. My wife is also a client of Stephanie’s and her hair always looks amazing!

I went there recently to get a relaxer and a wash and set. I was ecstatic leaving the hair salon because my hair looked wonderful, however, I woke up the next day and one side of my hair was frizzy and puffy. I was a little disappointed so I went back and the stylist straightened that side of my hair. Once again it looked great and I thought okay maybe it was just the humidity or something. This morning I woke up (2 days after getting my hair done,) and my hair’s ruined. I wrapped my hair well the night before also! I’ve never experienced something like this happen to me before. I’ve gotten relaxers before and this has NEVER occurred. The stylists all seem wonderful and kind, but to be honest the service sucks, especially for the amount I paid. I’m a little disappointed. :/

I drove past this salon many times during my first year in ATL. It always looks great from the outside, just never thought of going in for a hair cut.
I decided not to go back to my usual hair stylist anymore because she is overpriced and she is easily distracted when cutting my hair. One of my friends suggested Stephanie at Meldora.
I am very picky about my hair. I am an Asian guy, which means I have straight thick hair. Not everyone know how to cut it right.
I walked into Meldora, Stephanie greeted me immediately and sat me down at her chair. I showed her a picture of myself so she knew how I wanted my hair to look like, then she started. She was very personable and very friendly. She asked questions throughout my haircut to make sure every detail is right. She did my haircut perfectly.
After the haircut, she led me for a shampoo. Since I already shampooed at home I said she could just wash the hair bits off. She was very nice and insisted to shampoo me to give me a chance to relax! And of course she was right.
The price was also the cheapest among all the salons I went to in Atlanta. (Half the price of where I used to go and she did a much better job!)
I was worried before visiting Meldora because I couldn’t find any reviews. Stephanie told me the salon is relatively new in town. I guess that’s probably why.
I definitely recommend Meldora! Its location is convenient with plenty of free parking spaces. And Stephanie is an excellent hair stylist!

I’ve tried A LOT of salons in Atlanta… many over-​rated but Meldora is FABULOUS. My stylist is Tiffany and she rocks. She is professional and quick. I am natural (African-​American) and she straightens my hair and no one believes me that I don’t have a relaxer and it even stays in this Atlanta heat. It’s very laid back, no drama, no one trying to sell you anything. The best thing about it is I never have to wait… love, love, love this place!
