Services

Six chairs’ worth of reasons to keep your next appointment.

Cuts & Styling

Precision cuts, curly-hair specialists, and blowouts that survive Atlanta humidity. $65–$110 by stylist level, every cut finished with a styling lesson you can repeat at home.

Color & Balayage

Dimensional balayage, lived-in blondes, gray blending, and gloss refreshes — always after a consultation and strand test. Single-process from $95; full balayage $160–$180 with your colorist’s level posted upfront.

Extensions

Hand-tied wefts and tape-ins matched to your hair in natural light, installed by certified extension specialists. Consultations are free; installs quoted flat before we order a single bundle.

Keratin & Scalp Treatments

Smoothing keratin that can cut blow-dry time in half, bond-repair treatments after lightening, and scalp facials for thinning or flaky scalps. Add-ons from $35, full keratin from $250.

Bridal & Event Styling

Trial run, day-of styling, and a touch-up kit that goes home with you — in the salon or on location across metro Atlanta. Bridal parties book one stylist per three heads so nobody waits in a robe.

Memberships & Blowout Packages

The Golden Hour membership: one blowout a month plus 10% off color and retail for $59/month, no contract. Four-packs of blowouts run $180 and never expire.

The Studio

Editorial standards. Neighborhood salon manners.

Golden Hour opened in 2017 with four chairs and one policy that hasn’t budged: no color service starts without a consultation. Photos out, history discussed, strand test done — because a correction costs you triple what honesty costs us. Nine years later that policy is still why half our new clients arrive: fixing a box-dye emergency or a balayage that went orange somewhere else.

Our fourteen stylists ladder from New Talent to Master, and the price list says exactly what each level charges — $65 to $180 depending on whose chair you’re in, posted at the front desk and online. You choose the stylist and the budget; nobody gets upsold mid-foil.

  • Free 15-minute consultation before any color service
  • Stylist-level pricing posted upfront — $65–$180, no checkout surprises
  • Bond-repair included with every lightening service
  • Online booking with real-time availability, 24/7

How It Works

From inspiration photo to golden hour in four steps.

  1. 1

    Book the consultation

    Grab any open slot online — color services start with a free 15-minute consult, virtual or in-chair, before we put you on the books for the full service.

  2. 2

    Get the honest plan

    Your stylist maps what your hair can do in one visit versus three, does a strand test if lightening is involved, and quotes the exact price for their level before anything is mixed.

  3. 3

    Settle into the chair

    The appointment is booked with the time it actually takes — no double-booked chairs, no processing in the lobby. Espresso, sparkling water, and a charger at every station.

  4. 4

    Leave with the recipe

    You go home with a written color record, product doses that fit your routine, and a 10-day adjustment window: if the tone shifts, we fine-tune it free.

Client Notes

The reviews read like love letters to hair.

“I came in with box-dye black and a screenshot of honey balayage. My colorist told me the truth — two sessions, not one — and quoted both upfront. Zero breakage, and the color looks like I was born lucky.”
Whitley J. Virginia-Highland · color correction client
“The membership is the best $59 I spend each month. Standing Friday blowout, my stylist remembers my daughter’s name and my cowlick, and the 10% off retail basically pays for itself.”
Simone T. Decatur · Golden Hour member since 2023
“They styled me and five bridesmaids on location in Brookhaven. Three stylists, everyone done early, and my updo outlasted a June wedding, a second line, and an airport run the next morning.”

Questions

Ask us before your hair pays the price.

How does stylist-level pricing work?

Every stylist sits at a level — New Talent, Stylist, Senior, or Master — set by training hours and demand. A women’s cut runs $65 with New Talent and up to $110 with a Master; balayage spans $160–$180. The full grid is posted online and at the desk, so you pick the price before you pick the chair.

Why do you require a consultation before color?

Because your hair history decides what’s possible. Previous box dye, henna, or old highlights all change the chemistry, and a 15-minute consult with a strand test is how we plan a result instead of guessing at one. It’s free, and it can be virtual.

What if I don’t love the result?

Tell us within 10 days and the adjustment is free with the same stylist. Color can settle differently once you wash and style at home — a gloss or toner tweak is normal, not a failure, and we’d rather fix it than lose you.

How far out should I book?

Senior and Master stylists book 2–3 weeks ahead, New Talent often has same-week openings, and October-through-December Saturdays go a month out. Bridal work books 3–6 months ahead — trial included.

What is your cancellation policy?

Life happens — just give us 24 hours so the chair doesn’t sit empty. Inside 24 hours we charge 50% of the booked service; no-shows are charged in full. Two freebies a year for members, because we know Atlanta traffic is real.

Your chair is waiting.

Book online in under a minute, or tell us what your hair’s been through and the look you’re after — we’ll match you with the right stylist and level before you commit.
