Challise & Company

I love this salon!!! The staff is great! I see Debborah for facials and waxing and she is THE BEST. Very caring and attentive. Her desire to make you feel relaxed and cared for shows in her fantastic work. She really is one of a kind. My favorite esthetician EVER!
I see Lauren for cut and color. She is so sweet and always brings my crazy ideas to life. I never leave feeling anything less than beautiful!
Courtney is my massage therapist and one of the best I’ve ever had. She’s a natural at finding the problem Spots and working them out! I would highly recommend this salon to anyone.

I had an appointment at 915 so I arrived at the salon at around 850 since it was my first time going there I didn’t want to be late. When I arrived they weren’t able to take me because they failed to schedule the person that was supposed to give me a pedicure. I waited until 10 and I was taken by a lady who normally does not do pedicures (she specializes in hair) I picked a color and unfortunately the color I picked was completely different from the color she painted my toes (I didn’t say anything because she was very sweet and I was running late as it is so I didn’t have time to correct her). I finished around 1040 which was very upsetting because I was supposed to get a pedicure from 915 – 10 and a massage from 10 – 11. I then got taken to get my massage and it didn’t start until 1055. It was my first massage and it felt very rushed and it only lasted around 35 – 40 minutes (it was supposed to last an hour). Overall the people were nice but everything felt rushed and it was very poor planning on their end. Also, my pedicure didn’t even last a week. ³⁄₁₀ of the polish on my toes was completely off within the first 3 days. Then 4 others were completely chipped 3 days after that. All in all, the service was terrible and I will not be returning to this place.

perfect experience. definitely returning. i just moved to Marietta and I have found my new home salon. I went in because I received an advertisement in mail, and couldn’t be happier. I asked for the style I always ask for and I feel it has never been executed better. I loved the shampoo I was so relaxed. nice atmosphere as well. my stylists name was lauren, ask for her!!!

I had a poor experience a while back from this salon. It was mostly revolved around a lazy stylist and front desk staff that were not willing to hear me out or to make fair accommodations for me to fix my hair. After posting about my experience on Unilocal,I was contacted by the owner (who was very apologetic) and she informed me that there was a change in staff, and a change in location. I’m excited to go back and see how the place has evolved, and I’m very appreciative of them reaching out to me to make things right!

I have been going to Challise for more than 16 years (even before she become an owner). I always am very pleased as she has never steered me wrong. I have had long hair, short hair, highlights and color. When I go to her looking for a change she
always comes up with suggestions and I walk out being pleased. Tyler at the front desk is amazing. He is warm and funny… absolutely love him. I have done waxing and massages as well all of which were wonderful! I would highly recommend this salon.

This place is great! I treated my staff to a spa day for our Christmas party last year and the majority of the staff has continued to visit for regular hair appointments. I see Carrie for my hair and I’m never disappointed. Tyler the receptionist is such a gem, he always brightens my day when I call to schedule. I recommend this place to all of my friends

I wanted to support this salon but unfortunately Challise who cut and colored my hair for a year was uninterested in me as a client. She didn’t offer color suggestions or have advice for new ways to cut or style my hair. I could have gotten the same service at a chain salon.

I have been going to Challise and Company for several years for hair cut and color. Dawn is great and I always get a lot of compliments on my hair.

I’ve been going there for years for a haircut, wax, facials and massage and I’ve always had a good experience. Being a guy, maybe we aren’t as picky but I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad experience. Prices are reasonable and appointments are easy to make. I’ve suggested it to others.

I’ve been here a few times but only because I couldn’t get a booking for the time I needed anywhere else.
Even so, every time I’ve been here, a different receptionist. None of them friendly or accommodating. One of them couldn’t find my appointment once and waved me to the nearest chair to see if she could find anyone to «take me.»
Take me she did. The stylist did a ½ a$$ job of working on me (she had 3 clients going at the same time), put the color on my hair and disappeared for about 30 minutes. Came back and rinsed my color out only to put a plastic cap on my head and sit me under the dryer for another 30 minutes.
When she finally got around to actually cutting my hair, she took maybe a ¼ inch off it all the way around and then started to style it. I reminded her that we had already discussed not only cutting my hair shorter but cropping it on the top where it gets thick quicker. She sort of banged her forehead and then started to cut.
The style was less than average. It was the last time I’ve been in there. 2-​stars because I’ve only had a good experience there one time. It’s a very tiny place so don’t expect a lot of pampering.
Had a pedicure once (can’t remember the girl’s name) but it was over in about 10 minutes after I got in the ratty-​looking chair. Apparently, she had somewhere else to be so she made it quick. Didn’t massage my feet and barely put lotion on them. No sanding at all.

Went here with a Groupon that I had purchase for an Aveda Spa Mani & Pedi.
I arrived at 5:50pm for a 6:00pm appointment. Upon my arrival I was greeted by the receptionist who was apparently having HER hair done during work hours as she had a head full of foils in her own hair. I thought that this was rather unprofessional but dismissed it because they closed at 7pm and I was one of their last bookings.
As 6pm rolled around a stylest who worked their came in with a cake and balloons. She began talking to the receptionist about some birthday party that they were apparently going to after the salon closed that evening. She then announced that if anyone needed her she would be over at the counter on the other side of the waiting area «putting her face on». Again, I found this to be VERY unprofessional and it got worse as she proceded to use the Aveda makeup displays for her own makeup application!!!
Time kept ticking and it was almost 6:30pm by the time I was greeted by Amy who was going to be doing my mani & pedi. She was polite and well put together. She led me back to the nail portion of the salon was and I was instantly disappointed. The area had old dingy tile & carpet, the pedicure chairs were old and had cracks in the leatherette that covered them. The polish selection was poor and the bottles were covered in acrylic dust.
The pedicure was average and so was the gel manicure. It wasn’t the best nor was it the worst. If you are going to go ask for Amy as she is nice and will do a fine job. I will never go back as the atmosphere is sub par, very unprofessional as a whole and NOTHING EVEN CLOSE to being spa like.

This was the worse pedicure ever. It was not even a Pedicure. All the girl did was soak my feet for two minutes, put some lame scrub on my feet for half a minute and then rub a bunch of lotion on my legs. The pedicure maybe lasted 15 minutes. She did not even scrub my feet or heels at all and that is why I get pedicure. Anyone can paint their toe nails, it’s not rocket science. Also she would not give me the color that I wanted. She kept trying to talk me in to a different color not getting the hint that this is not what I want. Also the towels that she used on me were stained and ripped. I can’t even say for sure if they were clean. She got them from a basket of unfolded towels that was just sitting by the shampoo bowls so they could of been used.
The whole nail area was disgusting. Dirty with ratting looking chairs and dirty nail polish bottles. When she went to paint my nails, she just stuck a paper towel between my toes. I’m paying good money for this they could of given me real toe separators instead of taking a dirty roll of paper towels off the floor.
The lady spent the whole time trying to get me to book other services or buy products. I understand thy need to ask but after the first time I say no then that should be it. The only reason I gave it one stare is because it would not let me give them none

THIS WAS THE WORST SPA EVER.
The receptionist was rude. The paperwork I had to fill out was ridiculous.
Nothing about this place was a spa environment.
The service staff was very nice but that’s it. My facial was not a facial. All she did was put lotion on me.
Linens were dirty. The massage was okay. It wasn’t worth the money.
I would never recommend this place.

My fiancé has Uncle Jesse hair. He spends exorbitant amounts of time maintaining it. I can’t blame him, since his locks always heart throbbingly fall. I attribute this to genetics as well as his regular 6-​week appointments with his hairdresser Dawn. He travels all the way from downtown Atlanta to Challise & Company because he entrusts only experts with his locks. Sometimes when we bask in snuggletime glory, I attempt to run my hands through the black, shiny strands, only for him to bark, «Don’t touch the hair!»
Today I accompanied my fiancé to his appointment because we had other business to take care of OTP. While there, I stocked up on Aveda shampoo and Moroccan Oil since the store’s July promotion boasts a buy three items, get 30% off deal.
I particularly enjoyed chatting with Ty at the front desk. His hair is beautiful in a different way, with thick curls wildly lobbing on one side and neat shaved lines on the other. Ty’s hair makes me want to say «Good morning, San Francisco» while my fiancé’s forces me to growl, «Have merrrrcy.»
