Emporium Hair & Color Salon

Stacy did a wonderful job on my hair today. I have very coarse and dry hair that is obviously frizzy so I needed a haircut that is easy to manage but long enough to tie up. She did a fabulous job on styling my hair just the way I wanted for this season :) The price is affordable too.

Excellent color and cut — just what I asked for and more. a wonderful experience!

After a few disappointments with other Athens salons, I have finally found a gem! The staff here is wonderful, friendly, and most importantly, super talented. I went to Morgan for highlights and a new cut, and she is now my girl for life. It’s an Aveda salon, which means they only put the good stuff on your hair. I can feel my hair getting healthier every time I go!

Traveling for work and needed to get my hair done so after lots of research I called Emporium… and I’m so glad I did!
I am soo picky about my hair and haven’t been happy the last few times in Dallas so I was nervous another person would get it wrong too, but Matthew was awesome!!! I was hesitant at first when he didn’t say much as I was explaining what I wanted but I now know it’s because he was taking it all in and actually listening! I absolutely love my base color and shade of blonde! He got it perfect and even took the time to rinse them individually so they didn’t blend– no one ever does that! Cut was great and he even styled my hair like a normal 25 year old would want– not the Farrah Fawcett style like I normally get. I wish I didn’t live so far because I would love to come here all the time!!!

I’ve only been to Emporium once, but I’m really looking forward to going back! The staff is extremely personable and had made delicious spiced cider for the holiday season. Alli did an excellent job highlighting my blonde hair. She was very careful to make sure she was gentle on my fine hair and it looks fantastic.
I’m definitely recommending Emporium Beauty to all of my friends!

I began going to Emporium while I was at UGA and loved it. I moved after college and began seeing Alli at a local Atlanta salon. Alli moved to Athens and began working at Emporium fairly recently so I followed here there, best decision! Emporium is under the same wonderful ownership that I remember and Alli continues to do a fantastic job on my cut and color. About 3 months ago I donated 10″ of hair to «Locks of Love» and the owner, Myrna, graciously sent off my hair for me, I didn’t have to do anything. Alli turned my long lack-​of-​style cut into a «Lob» (long bob) as she called it :) Love it! I don’t usually color my hair but whenever Alli decides a few highlights are in order I let her do her thing and it always turns out great. Also, the location of the salon is great; right downtown so close to everything, the prices are reasonable, and they are an Aveda salon, so the product is top notch.

I absolutely enjoyed my experience at Emporium today! Everyone was super friendly, and Alli did an amazing job on my highlights and even offered to add change to my meter outside since I was parallel parked on the street. they offered me coffee, water, and even a small sample of an AVEDA product! I totally recommend this place! It’s super cute and inviting also! Great décor :)

I should start by saying that I hate getting my haircut due to the incompetent butchering that usually occurs. However, Emporium turned out to be the (unexpected) exception to the rule. I saw several good reviews on Unilocal and decided to take my chances. Good thing I did! While I can’t speak for all of the stylist, I can say with certainty that Matt will be my stylist for the remainder of my time in Athens. I’ve had nothing but compliments on my haircut (including my gf who is quite the critic). Nice job guys! Keep up the good work.

We have an Aveda salon in Athens? Who knew? I had no idea until I found a coupon in the Red&Black for $ 20 off on a full set of highlights (cha-​ching!).
Now, I hate getting my haircut. and colored. It just feels risky. We have all had one of those «oh no…» moments of regret after visiting a stylist. It is not fun. But after a year of avoiding it, I had no choice. I clipped my coupon and faced the music (or scissors.).
So the results? Emporium did a GREAT job, with both cut and color, and I am happy (thrilled really) to have a place to go back to when I want to cough up the money again. It was pricey… but come on, you ALL know it’s worth a good cut.
