Plum Salon

I had Lauren do my hair. I do pixie cuts and she did an amazing job! The customer service was great and I would recommend this place to anyone!

I went to Plum for the first time to get balayage highlights! Hailey was phenomenal from start to finish! It was my first time getting highlights and she made me feel really comfortable by explaining every step she was taking. She took the time to discuss what would look great on me and really worked with me to find the style that would best suit me. She is very talented and I’m glad my friend recommended her to me!
As for the overall experience — I was promptly greeted for my appointment, offered a beverage when I walked in, and was surrounded by the friendly staff! Overall, I highly recommend the salon!

I love this Salon. Beautiful, clean and the staff is all friendly and professional. Liz is my favorite, she is so talented, works fast (so you aren’t there all day) and is affordable. I even took my 13 month old there for her hair cut :)

I have been coming here since they opened. I get compliments on my hair all the time! My stylist is great, she listens to me and makes good suggestions. The salon is very cool, and I love the complimentary soda or wine. If you want a modern salon with up to date stylists, this is your place!

I’ve been going to Plum for years and have never ever had a bad experience! The receptionist is always wonderful and gets me set up and back to my stylist in no time. I never wait more than a couple of minutes past my appointment time, if at all. Everyone there is so nice!
My hair always always always looks rock star fabulous. Worth every penny. I highly recommend you try out Plum!

So I’ve been to Plum Salon 6 times in the last year. The 1^st hair cut was amazing and (up until last weekend) the rest just kind of so-​so. While watching the stylists work I always wonder at this if they understood what I was requesting, which is always the same. Blunt bangs with face framing and just a trim on the rest. Typically it turned out similar to what I imagined but always missing something. Hence the so-​so.
The main reason is that I have been going for so long is that they are less than 2 minutes from my house.
Well, I am on the hunt for a new salon… I booked an appointment with Ben online for 10:15am. I showed up a few minutes prior and advised the receptionist, that I was Robin here for Ben. She looked up startled from her phone and asked if I would like to put on a smock. I did, and then proceeded to wait in their little lobby.
No one came to get me, at 10:30 a woman stylist came up to me and said «I’ll be with you in one moment, do you need anything while you wait» I was a bit confused and said Ok. After she walked away I went to the receptionist’s desk and stated that was not the stylist I made the appt with and was the new stylist going to be an extra cost. The receptionist looked confused, looked at her computer, and then stated «oh, I thought you wanted to talk to our stylist Robin not that you are Robin. No wonder, we were all confused.» I understand that people make mistakes and that this is a small one… but a receptionist literally HAS ONE JOB TO DO. And at that she failed. I hope whatever was happening in her phone offered her more entertainment than what she is being paid to do.
On to Ben. Another 5 minutes of waiting and Ben called me back. He asked me what I would like to do today. I told him that I had Bangs but they had grown down past my eyes in an attempt to grow them out. But at this point I was going to cut them and try on growing them out after the holidays. Then he starting talking about are they swoopy bang, or blunt swoopy or whispy swoopy. I told him I didn’t know what that meant and he showed with the hair that was there what the term swoopy apparently means (pointing in one direction over another). Anyways I told him no, that I wanted just straight blunt bangs but gave him permission to add layers to my hair. I thought we were on the same page.
While he was cutting I must have given him some quizzical looks, because he ended up turning my chair with my back to the mirror where he kept the entire time.
When he turned me around I noticed something didn’t look right but couldn’t put my finger on it. He added some last minute face framing and sent me on my way without letting me see the back in a mirror. Couldn’t say I was too disappointed about the lack of views… Ben had been working up a sweat on the cut and was getting a little stinky.
So Hours later I have to get ready to go out to dinner… my birthday dinner with friends… I go to redo what’s fallen out of place and specifically to redo my bangs. Low and behold I found out what was wrong… I’m curious to find out in what world straight Blunt Bangs means cut one side a ¾s of an inch shorter than the other and have the shortest part not centered over your nose but over your right eye… In order for me not to look like my 6 year old nephew cut my hair I had to do my own snips to it before I left the house.
So thanks for nothing but wasting my time and money Plum Salon.

Jessi has been doing my hair for my last few haircuts. I have been very pleased each time. She does a great job and is always pleasant to chat with. I have very long layered hair.

I have been getting my hair done by Robin for years — she is absolutely amazing! I always leave with a great cut and color and a huge smile on my face!!!

This is a fantastic salon. Ben cut my hair yesterday. He listened to what I wanted and gave me the best cut I’ve ever had. I never thought that my hair could look fun, cool and edgy because it’s so long and plain. Not only did he give me a completely fun haircut, but he showed me how to style it and gave me tips on ways I can style it in the future. My husband agreed that it’s the best cut my hair has had. I highly recommend Ben and this salon!

What a great salon! ALWAYS great customer service and flexibility with booking appointments. I used to go to a salon in Buckhead and these guys are not only much better with their costumers, but also cheaper for such a great quality of service! Highly recommend!

Marnie is the only person who will ever touch my hair! My mane is a piece of work and she managed to strip years of abuse and black dye from my hair and left me with a beautiful cut and color. My hair is now much healthier thanks to her advice and a few Bumble and Bumble products! Did I mention you can enjoy a nice glass of wine while you’re there?

I live in the apartments that are in the Highlands so I figured I would try the salon because it’s right here. I’d come here even if I lived miles away! I have had Ellie cut and color my hair for months now. She has managed to find the perfect highlights and low lights, and my hair (long, thick) has never looked better. I’m a big fan.

The salon is a very nice salon. My haircut appt was with Liz. The way she cut hair was okay, however I was very unhappy with the blow dry. It seemed like she was rushing the entire time and when I left the salon I noticed the middle part of the inside of my hair was still damp and therefore it was not properly completely blow dried. I will not be returning to this place.

Robin has been cutting my hair for a very long time – back when she was at Bob Steele. Initially, she gave me recommendations which I took her up on. After Robin fixed the color mess and the cut mess I had, I have had years of beautiful hair. She’s the best at what she does and I don’t know what I’d do without her. I always have a fun time when I see her and always walk out of the salon with a fabulous hair style and feeling fabulous!

Plum Salon is the best. Robin Jones has done my cut and color for years and I won’t go anywhere else! She listens and works her magic, and I’m happy every time I leave. She is also great with kids so I try to schedule my son and daughter with her every so often. Oh, and a bonus is they serve wine!
The location is very convenient — close to 285 and plenty of parking.
Take my word — you will love Plum Salon!

One word: WINE.
I wasn’t even there for a cut; my husband was. But I still got a nice, big glass of chilled Chardonnay. Please and thank you!
Also, stylist Elli is incredibly sweet and talented!
Plentiful parking, right by Starbucks, cute shops and restaurants a few steps away, barely OTP. I’ll definitely be back again!

I recently moved to the area and needed to get my highlights updated immediately. I searched online for salons near my new home and found these reveiws of Plum Salon — especially Cat Martin at Plum Salon — and decided to schedule an appointment. The salon is adorable. Cat is awesome! All in all a great experience. She was able to correct a previous highlight that was too light for what I was looking for and everything looks great. I will definitely go back and recommend anyone else to try this salon.

I have been getting my haircut with Michelle Kincaid since 2007. I started with her at another shop and followed her to Plum. She is awesome, very professional, always on time, and her work is always quality.
Currently I am living primarily in NYC and keep my home in Smyrna. I Come back to Smyrna every few weeks and a trip to Plum to get my hair cut with Michelle is always on schedule.

I get my hair done A LOT. I have had it blonde, blonde with blue and purple streaks, blonde with green streaks, blonde with hot pink, red, fire engine red, burgendy/​auburn brown, brown with blonde highlights, black with blonde highlights, black and purple highlights… needless to say, I play with my hair a lot. I’ve had my hair done in lots of cities… NYC/​NYC metro area, Washington DC/​DC metro area, Miami, Atlanta, etc… Michelle at Plum Salon is my favorite stylists out of everyone (Sorry David!)
She is well trained, thoughtful, honest, and has the skills to pay the bills.
She listens to what I want, she will tell me honestly if she thinks I can pull it off, and if I don’t like it, she offers to fix it for free. She has done wonders for my hair color. I have a number of friends who also go to Michelle, both men and women who will drive from Decatur, GA/​Kennesaw GA to see Michelle! I have a buddy that comes from Europe as well, now talk about not giving up your stylist! Michelle is truly an amazing stylist.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN DISSATISFIED with Michelle’s service. When I meet Michelle I was flying back to Washington DC every 6 weeks to get my hair done (I know, I know, CrAzY, but girls love their stylists and it’s hard to find good ones these days, well look no more!) Michelle told me the first time I sat in her chair, if what I am doing does not work for you that is ok, you have to be comfortable with your stylist, you won’t offend me if you like someone else work better.
She is simply great. Now that I’m back in DC I miss Michelle, but I’ve given Delta Airlines too much of my savings already, so back to Jon David Salon in VA I go :)
To Sandra S review, African American hair is called «Ethnic hair» that is what it’s called at beauty school, and that is what it’s called in professional salons. If you were happy with the end result, it’s sad to loose a good stylist over a misunderstanding!

Go to Plum Salon and ask for Cat. She is the best stylist in the world. I miss her dearly since I moved away from Atlanta… she has done my highlights and cut for years and is the only person who knows what to do with my hair to make it look fabulous. I love her to death and try to book an appointment with her whenever I’m in town. Not only does Cat work magic with a hairstyle, she is also such a genuine, cool person and I think anyone would want to be her friend.
The salon itself is loads of fun, it’s beautiful, and filled with upbeat people and great music. Oh, and any of the stylists will be happy to bring you a beverage to make your experience most enjoyable!
Plum Salon rocks.
