Velvet Salon Studios

I was hoping more… My friend recommended me to stop by the salon. My hair was straight long; I just wanted to get it shorter. The conversation was alright until my hair stylist told me my hair shouldn’t be washed before cut… None of my hair stylists told me that ever. I was curious why but she just used a flat iron to smoothen my hair without any heat protectant. I was so sad. Btw, the woman hair cut (30min) is not$ 40 but $ 50. There are only three options for tipping; no 15% tipping option no customizing tips option. Finally, I paid 60 bucks for a 20min or so hair cut.

I love this place! The staff is warm, friendly, professional and welcoming! Communication is great– they will always give you an honest estimate of how long you might be waiting (which I greatly appreciate) and will happily make any corrections after your initial cut. Diana always makes my hair look *fabulous*!!!

Omg! Look no further THE BEST STYLIST IN ATLANTA IS HERE! So first off the salon is organized, intimate, and warm! The office manager is very helpful and will meet you outside if you get lost! Drew would too, but his hands are always TIED! And I can see why. When I came in Drew came in and gave me a hug! :) How sweet! After he finished with his client I was next! Yay! Wait time? What wait time?!? So I’m «African American» aka just BLACK lol and I was a tad skeptical of letting someone of a different race cut my hair, let alone a man! I have in brazilan hair extenstions so imagine how thick and course the hair is. The hair looks natural. So I showed Drew a picture and OMG when I looked up, I looked like the black Khole Odom. Drew then asked me if I wanted «Hollywood» hair! Lol I said of course! Girrlll let me tell you¡¡ LOL Lets just say I broke necks yesterday when I left the shop! I will NEVER EVER CHEAT ON DREW, HE HAS A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!

Diana and the entire staff are amazing. I couldn’t be happier with my experience there. I found my permanent hair salon.

I have had a very hard time finding a stylist that I like. I have curly hair and I don’t think most stylists know how to cut it. I found Drew on here from fellow Unilocalers. He was booked for about three months, but I waited because I wanted a good haircut. The salon itself is very nice and has a neat chandelier in the middle. Drew is very personable and a nice guy. He is the co-​owner of the salon. He took me about 15 minutes late. I really like Drew and he is really easy to have a conversation with. He is the first stylist to ever say «I love curly hair». Most stylists want to flat iron it straight.
I wish I could give him more than 2 stars, but I am not in love with my haircut. Drew cut it dry and took out some of the bulk. He used a slicing technique. The cut he gave me makes my curls looks choppy and not defined. I wish Drew all the best, but I will have to look for another salon.

I just moved to Atlanta from Philadelphia last month and am so glad I found a great hair salon so quickly! I booked online for a cut and color and found an open appointment with Nycole the next day which is amazing. I needed my hair done DESPERATELY and she totally rocked it. I had been letting my roots grow out for a year due to being poor and lazy and she and Drew worked together to match my color perfectly. She listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Nycole was super accommodating even though my appointment ended up lasting almost three hours (like I said… desperate situation) and was so friendly and fun to talk with.
My hair looks awesome and I’m actually looking forward to going and getting my roots touched up in a few weeks! No more waiting a year between visits for me. :) Definitely would recommend Velvet Salon to anyone!

When I moved to Atlanta I had a hard time finding a good salon. They were all either too overpriced or didn’t do a good job or weren’t personable. Drew at Velvet Salon is awesome! So glad I found him! Will not go anywhere else!

I have been following Drew around for the past 4 years and am so happy to have him now at his own salon! Always a great haircut and a great time catching up with Drew. If you live in the area and are looking for a new salon, definitely check out Velvet!

From the moment I walked into Velvet salon I fell in love & knew I’d finally found MY salon for life… it just felt right! Drew Delaney was so sweet and instantly began working his magic on my long, thick, curly hair. He did an amazing job, I mean really, this guy is so seriously talented! I’m so grateful to have found him thanks to allure! He radiates passion & oh does it show in his work! My hair had never looked so sleek, I walked outta there lookin like a hair commercial model! I went straight to the mall & within 10 min. 4 people complimented my hair!
Aside from the great color/​cut/​styling he did, I learned alot by listening to his much needed advice on how to go about starting out in the beauty industry. It gave me that extra motivation I needed! Such a great person.
&& come to find out, we both come from the same city in California! It was just meant to be:). My mother just about died when I told her I’d met someone here in the south, that’s from our hometown in Cali!
Thank you Drew, wish you all the best & can’t wait to see you again!

Matt and Drew are running a great, professional business. Drew did a more than amazing job on my hair. He truly wants you to look your best. I went in to get a cut and color, but he ended up talking me out of the color because he said my hair color was to beautiful to change. I will definitely be going back to Velvet Salon and recommending Drew to all my friends. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Drew is the absolute greatest. After getting a glowing recommendation from a friend whose hair always looks amazing, I gave him a shot, and fell in love immediately. My hair was fried and dry from my previous stylist using bleach for my highlights — Drew gave me a keratin treatment that finally brought my hair back to life. He then achieved the highlights I wanted using color, not bleach.
The new salon is intimate and gorgeous — and Drew takes the time each visit to understand what I want and to talk through any concerns. His prices are great — and you never feel like you’re being pushed to buy 5 different products. I always enjoy seeing Drew, Megan and Matt — they are down-​to-​earth, fun and genuinely care about each client. I highly recommend Velvet Salon — you won’t be disappointed.

I have been jumping around from salon to salon trying to find a stylist that I can feel comfortable with my hair. My hair is thick and curly and most stylists want to straighten it and cut it for the straight style trend. Drew was the first amazing stylist that loved my natural curl. He cut my hair to enhance beautiful curls. He actually took the time to help teach me to correctly style and control the mess that I had struggled with for so long. When I decided to go blonde (I wanted to do this before I changed my mind so I needed an appointment ASAP), Drew recommended his sister Megan. She was amazing! As she worked with my hair, I started to get nervous with the change, but she kept reassuring me. When we were done, my hair looked fabulous. I don’t want to lose my color! Even after 3 weeks with my beautiful blonde hair, I still get many complements for it. These two siblings are an amazing team supported by a fabulous manager, Matt, who will bring you coffee, tea, water or wine. Matt, Drew, and Megan, thank you for all that you have done. I never want to lose you guys!

I found this salon because they had just moved into my neighborhood and boy do I want them to succeed. Why? Because I want to keep having my hair done by Megan!
I have long, black, Asian hair that is stubborn, ram-​rod straight and flat. So every stylist who has worked on my hair has wanted to layer it, thin it, or *gasp* put a razor to it. They also seem to under-​estimate how much time it takes to color hair like mine.
Megan was great. She listened and she got it right the first time. No broom-​stick like ends and the red was spectacular.

I can’t think of enough great things to say about Drew. He loves his job, and it shows. In addition to being a top-​notch hair stylist, he is a very nice guy and you’ll be in a great mood after talking to him. After juggling a few different salons and not getting quite the results that I wanted, I have finally found my home at Velvet. Drew just «gets it» and I couldn’t be more happy!

Being a transplant from Cali, it was a challenge finding someone to take care of my long hair. Drew has been able to give me the Hollywood Blonde I’ve always wanted… without compromising the integrity of my hair. I have been bleach-​free for over Two years now! Also, I’ve never received more compliments on my hair… love him… he will take his time with you and make sure he understands what you want before he begins to work. He has a professional staff as well. When you are at Velvet with Drew… you feel like a V.I.P.

So let me just tell you. I have been following Drew around wherever he brings his AMAZING talent for doing hair color and cuts since 2007. He has never once let me down – everytime I leave the salon after a visit to him I am beaming with excitement about my Amazing hair color and perfect hair cut!!! In 2007 I came to him with brown hair trying to go blonde for my wedding without frying my hair off. Oh my gosh, he took me from brown to an amazing beautiful blonde with amazing hair condition! Everyone I’ve talked to about him say he does amazing blondes and let me tell you IT IS THE TRUTH! I’m sure he does every color amazing but he does Blondes like no one else. As far as hair cuts, i had gone to the very best stylist (prior to using Drew for my hair cuts) at Vidal Sassoon for a unique angled bob. I brought in pictures of what I wanted and still went home dissapointed. Drew saved the day and did it even better than I could ask for. He really is amazing. I will be a client for life. So, needless to say, you will not be disappointed by Drew!!! He is the very best there is!

I had a hard time finding a good stylist. My good friend highly recommended Drew when she saw my haircut. It really needed to be reshaped as the back was really thick. My friend’s cut is short, but her style is very classy, feminine, and modern. I decided to make an appointment.
Drew is GREAT. He has an impressive background (check out his website). He knew how to cut my hair right, while taking into consideration my hair type and my head shape. I was literally giddy by the end of my appointment because he gave me a perfect haircut for my busy lifestyle.
Drew started his business about 6 months ago. He is moving to a larger space as a result of his growing list of faithful clients. I wish him all the best and highly recommend him for any woman looking for a perfect haircut.
