Relish Salon

I go to Justin. Love the neighborhood. Love the prices. Love the atmosphere. I have been to an art show here with live music. They support local art and bring character to glenwood park!

I absolutely love relish. I’ve been here twice and seen Marjorie both times who has given me a fantastic cut and exactly what I wanted. The salon itself has a cool vibe and is a nice size. They are always very friendly and it’s affordable (at least who I see). Definitely recommend!

Called and got an appointment right away. Great experience from the call to walking out with a great haircut. They cut 7 inches and it looks/​feels wonderful!

Relish just might be a neighborhood gem. My first experience was «fantastic»!
Pros: great location that is easily accessible from I-​20 or South/​East Atlanta area. Spacious & inviting atmosphere. Great customer service that is respectful of your time. Comparable prices to other professional salons for cut & style. Kids cuts next door.
Cons: Unknown at this visit. Parking COULD be (come) an issue during busy times in Glenwood Park and/​or after future business development in the area.
Dexter did a «fantastic» cut & style on my hair in less than an hour. He was timely, conversational & detailed in his work. I appreciate that Dexter shared info about himself, has positive energy & allowed natural flow of communication. He is quite knowledgable, demonstrates confidence & seems to have a sixth sense for client’s needs in a short amount of time. I also witnessed Dexter educating an up & coming stylist with gentle but direct example & guidance, which I find impressive.
I love the fact that this salon is closer to home values my time & provides high quality professional service (s) by personable stylists in a welcoming environment. I was very impressed with my first visit and definitely plan to return. Sure beats developing road rage & paying similar prices (not to mention fuel costs) driving to the Perimeter area.
BTW, «fantastic» was a word Dexter used often that gave me a warm & fuzzy feeling each time I heard it.

Freddie is the best! Love this salon in East Atlanta’s Glenwood Park. Its very casual and laid back but still upscale and chic. All the stylists are friendly and very professional. I am very very particular about my cut and color. After getting a botched job at an over priced salon in Buckhead, Freddie did exactly what I asked him to do. He took weight out without taking off length and highlighted my hair so it looked natural. I did not want «man highlights» just wanted to brighten it up a bit. Anyone on the east side of Atlanta (highlands, O4W, Inman, Grant, EAV etc.) should check this salon and Freddie out. I won’t go anywhere else.

Let’s talk a little about my hair, shall we? After going from red to honey blonde to platinum blonde back to honey blonde and … back to red (well I know now what hair color I love), my hair’s pretty ravaged. Yes, I try to treat it well but you know you can’t undo that damage. In addition to its damage, it’s slightly wavy, and grows bottom heavy, which makes it a real beast to mold into a presentable style.
After living in the Atlanta for 4 – 5 months, I decided that, «wow, I really need a haircut.» This is a painful process — considering I don’t have a lot of folks to turn to down here and ask, «who does your hair?»… so I took to Unilocal.I came upon Relish and A. liked the quirky salon name and B. live near the salon, and I booked an appointment with Cody.
He is so incredibly thorough — which I very much admire. So many times a stylist with clip off the ragged ends, use some texturizing shears and call it a day. He actually took the time to discuss my hair type with me and why it grows in such a way and created a cut that would work with my natural texture. A bonus? I hate blowdrying my hair (I cannot hold a round brush AND an object throwing hot air at me…) so he also told me how I could do my hair without heat. My appointment was a few days ago and I’ve been able to air dry my hair since — the shape is fantastic and I don’t feel like I resemble Kurt Cobain’s mop circa 1993.
What’s more is that I wasn’t given the product push AND he told me I wouldn’t have to return for about four months. Yes! I’ll totally be returning and I’ve suggested my husband book his cuts with Cody, too.
The salon itself is located in an idyllic little area and I found street parking right out front, too.

If Unilocal ever needed a good example of its review filter working as intended they should look no farther than Relish. Wonder why the number of filtered reviews is almost double the amount of real ones? It’s because they pay $ 5 to anyone who will write something. Unilocal’s Review Filter is so smart and good at sorting through the crap that it could tell something was amiss here. That’s some Edward Snowden NSA sh*t!
Concerns about shilling aside, I like coming here. I discovered it almost accidentally while I was visiting a friend who lives in Glenwood Park. He’d been hanging out for most of the day and he offered to treat me to a haircut. I agreed (who would turn that down?!), so he called Relish and they had two stylists available. We walked down and I somehow scored Cody and totally lucked out. Even though when he was done my hair was part bleach blonde and part brown (my fault, nothing to do with him), I still got compliments from a handful of people who saw me immediately afterward.
That was two months ago. I came back over the weekend to see him again. This time I wanted all of the blonde cut out (I’d already colored it again) and he diligently worked to get it trimmed down. No clippers. All shears. In the end we kept a few blonde tips because it would have required me to go shorter than I wanted. It would have looked weird had Cody not used thinning shears to taper everything.
I’m really happy and I’ll probably go back next time. For my most recent visit I was able to book my appointment by email. I wish their website had a form, but in the end it all worked out fine.
PS: I was not compensated for this review.

I’ve been coming to Relish since it opened in the previous location, and there was no way I WASN’T going to follow it to the new location. The whole team is awesome, and everyone is always friendly and welcoming. But of course the most important part is the quality of service, and I can’t recommend Sarah enough — I’m fussy and demanding about my hair, and she does a consistently great job with color, cut and styling.

Relish offers a pretty cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Dexter brings his clients happiness and gives useful advice. I really enjoyed watching him taking care of a boy’s hair today (I sat next to the corner.) I had my haircut by Corey and overall he is very understanding and accommodating with my description of the style I want so far. From an Asian’s perspective, I think he is good at making nice Asian hairstyles. I will continue to visit the salon and recommend it to my friends.

Great salon! VERY relaxed atmosphere, and friendly, attentive staff. I’ve been looking for a stylist for years, and I’m hooked. I’ve used a Groupon before at another salon, and was treated sub-​par. But I felt like family the minute I walked into Relish. My hair looks fantastic. Dexter really listened, and gave his honest input. I’m super picky about my cut, and Dexter nailed it! He took his time and made me feel beautiful. So many salons in Atlanta are snooty and pretentious. Relish is beautiful, trendy, but I still felt right at home. I will definitely go back!

Came in with a groupon deal — cody was so brave to take on a middle aged woman with a bob cut and turn my hair into something wonderful! Great staff! Went back 2 days later with my 18 year old daughter, who received a fantastic haircut. And we paid full price. totally worth it.
Thanks Cody!

Excellent hair salon! Very personable service! They have a knowledgeable and lovey staff — ask for Dexter, Clay, Sarah, or Corey. Shali is an amazing make up artist as well.

Unbelievably happy with this experience. Money and time well spent.
Positive Feedback: (1) From the second I walked in, I was filled with great vibes and smells. (2) There was very tasty coffee and a selection of teas to chose from in the seating area. (3) Dexter was my stylist and he was the friendliest, comfortable, most detailed stylist I’ve ever dealt with.(4) He used great shampoo products on my hair which is usually extremely dry and hard to deal with but came back to life after his magic. (5) He took the time to make perfections throughout the whole cut with true concentration while still being able to stay social with me. (5) The cut was great and the prices were priced less than I think they deserve. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Negative Feedback: (1) I felt bad when Dexter had to go to the back to get me cream. Maybe the store could have a little fridge with half-​n-​half and maybe even some sodas or something. (2) The decorations were great and my style, but the window was the view of the street and the parking lot. Maybe keep those nice lace curtains closed to add to the pleasant escape you have already.
NOTE: They will be moving to Glenwood Park in April (for those closer to that location).

Decided to use a Groupon Now coupon for Relish yesterday. Great place, with welcoming and friendly staff – trendy yet not intimidating for folks like me that don’t care as much about style as about getting just a decent hair cut. Cory worked on my hair-​charming, friendly, chatty, and ready with tips on would work on my unruly, frizzy, curly hair.
Would definitely consider going back.

Relish is fantastic — clean, modern, and inviting without a hint of attitude and none of that valet parking nonsense. I adore Clay and trust him completely to make my hair look great. I have difficult hair (baby thin, no body even after a curling iron), Clay somehow pulls off miracles every time. My hair looks great from the day I walk out of the salon until I return. I get touch-​ups every eight weeks, but you can easily go 3 – 4 months on one of Clay’s fantastic cuts.

I first went to Relish because of its convenient location in Loehmann’s Plaza, but I keep going back because of the great styling work that Sarah does and the very welcoming atmosphere the staff create. Tabatha herself would approve of the customer-​centric and professional (yet casual) tone.
It’s also likely that you will encounter an 80’s mix being run off someone’s iPod over the sound system, so be ready for ‘Hungry Like the Wolf’ when you stop in.

Relish is a GREAT place to get your hair done. I’ve been Clay’s client for many years and have followed him from Salon Red to Relish (I know, a bit stalker-​esque yet WELL worth his fabulous work!!) This salon has the best of both worlds — they are able to give clients beautiful classic looks and edgier dramatic cuts/​colors. Either way, you walk out their door ready to bring on the hotness! Added bonus — everyone there (from the owners to the stylists to the assistants) are super knowledgable, welcoming, experienced and down to earth (totally no pretentiousness here, which is a hard thing to say about most top salons on the Atl)
Bottom line: check em out — whether it’s a cut, color or even extensions, they know how to work it and make you look fabulous!

I got my hair cut here recently by Trevor and it turned out well. I usually only get my hair cut in India or by Mary, my favorite hair stylist who works out of her home in Athens…
Trevor is a really cool person and we had some great conversation. How often do you get a parttime stuntman and martial artist cutting your hair?! He also gave me a really nice shape and I trusted him since I had no idea what the hell I wanted. But I also never do anything drastic with my hair, so there’s only so much he could have messed up.
Overall, the place is really cute and the staff is even cuter. Everyone is friendly and the location is very convenient! He was the cheapest in the salon at $ 40. I will probably go back here if I’m looking for a new look, and hit up a cheaper place when I just want a trim.

Yet another Claymate here — I have been with Clay for years and am still so grateful to have found him! This new salon, opened by Clay and his partners Dexter and Erin, is the bomb — warm and inviting, with plenty of parking, complimentary wine (and other beverages) and snacks, and it’s right next to Loehmann’s to boot, so you can go pick out a new outfit to go with your fresh style. Here’s what I had to say about Clay when he was at his previous salon:
It’s all about Clay. I shouldn’t even say this, because Clay is MINE and I don’t want to have to fight you for an appointment. But Clay is really the man. I’ve been going to him for about five years now, and all I have to say is «Give me beach hair,» «I’m ready for fall hair,» or just «Make it look pretty,» and he always knows exactly what to do. His color is so natural-​looking and grows in very well so that I don’t have to go back in for touch-​ups for quite some time. And I love how he styles my hair — I always feel so glamorous whenever I leave. I love Clay!
And Trevor is fantastic — but Clay will always have my heart… and my hair.

relish is a new salon, opening October 31^st, 2009 in Loehmann’s Plaza. The salon may be new, but its staff is fabulous and highly experienced. I can’t express how excited I am that my wonderful stylist, Clay, is finally at the helm of a salon with his partners, Dexter and Erin. The extremely dashing Trevor is also a part of the relish team.
Here is what I’ve Unilocaled about them in the past – I can guarantee that relish is going to be even better than they’ve ever been before:
Clay, Dexter and Trevor are three of the best stylists in Atlanta. Clay is a color specialist and an amazingly talented and experienced stylist, Trevor a relatively new stylist who gives the best shampoo known to man (or woman), and Dexter a specialist in extensions and black women’s hair.
Clay and I have been together for a very long time, and I will follow him… follow him whereever he may go… there isn’t an ocean too deeeeep… Ahem.
Anyway, I send friends to him all the time, and while I really would like to keep him all to myself, he has enough talent to spread around.
I just want to add for this extra special review… hopefully the last I’ll have to write now that my Clay-​chasing days are (hopefully) over… the main reason that I love him so much is that he really goes beyond the normal good stylist.
He doesn’t just have a great eye: he’s realistic about the fact that I am not going to spend a lot of time on my hair or put crap in it, he is creative and helps me have a little personality within my professionally appropriate limits, he is COMPLETELY honest (if you want him to be) about his opinion regarding my hair, and he is always a delight to hang out with for an hour or so. Don’t get me wrong – he’ll give you what you ask for, but he has the professional and personal integrity to tell you if he think it’s a mistake. He isn’t afraid to break a few eggs to bake a cake. I love that, and I’ve seen enough bad hair in Atlanta to feel pretty sure that he’s a gem in the business.
From what I know about the sort of people Clay surrounds himself with, I know that relish is going to be the best salon in Atlanta.
