Hallie Martin I felt so welcomed and truly heard for once. I’ve always struggled with where to schedule my next haircut but Elliot did such an amazing job tackling my thick hair and capturing the look I was hoping for. I wholeheartedly recommend.

Yaramsi Gonzalez I have been doing my hair with Nikki for about a year now. She never disappoints and always knows exactly what i want. Plus the salon looks soo cozy and nice. Best hairstylist ever.

Aubrey Rushe Deborah did an amazing job for my January wedding. In the months leading up to it, she gave me a haircut that would support the hairstyle (and improved the appearance of my normal day-to-day hair, to boot) and invited me to come in for multiple trial sessions to make sure she got everything perfect. I have naturally curly hair, and wanted a stylist who was familiar with curls and wouldnt straighten my hair then re-curl it into large, unnatural "chunks" (which has happened with other stylists in the past). I was drawn to Deborah due to her portfolio of curly hair styles that looked natural, and Im really satisfied with my choice.

DeeDee Sullivan It is a delight to get my haircut by Abbi at Salon At 618. It has taken me a while to find someone who I can trust to color and cut my hair. She is professional and works towards your hair goals. I love my hair!

Lauren Pitt-McClelland My daughter had her first professional haircut and she could not have been more excited! It was a great experience. She was so nervous but Meleah made her feel comfortable and welcome. The only complaint I have is now I have to try and style her hair every morning the way Meleah did lol!

Toni D Athena was my colorist and hair stylist. I can’t give enough accolades for her and the salon. The place was clean, modern and well decorated. Athena explained every step throughly and offered snacks and beverages during appointment. My hair looks the best it has ever looked when I left. I will be a forever client of Vain now. If looking for hair stylist in Gainesville Athena is the best.

Angela Silva Alexis did such a great job helping my 12-year old with naturally curly hair learn how to properly care for and style it. She was very detailed and made sure to ask my daughter exactly how she wanted it. We will be back!

Shawneise Williams Amazing Service!!! Lynette is a gem who loves what she does! Her passion for it shows in the service she provides! The hair wash and massage was by far the best experience! The spa like treatment and environment was very therapeutic. I was nervous because I have sisterlocs, but Lynette was confident and by far exceeded my expectation! Thanks for sharing your gift Lynette!

Kizzy K Been a client for over a year and have gotten sew-in with closure and silk press services done by Brandi. Love her work, professionalism and warm personality. Her expertise keeps me a return customer. She is not only masterful in her styling but she also takes great care in the health of your hair. She is timely and is a very good communicator. I highly recommend her to anyone who asks. She accepts cash or credit.

Robbin Odowski Jess is so nice and easy to talk to. I have curly hair and Jess always knows how to cut it so that it lays and curls beautifully. After many disappointing hair cuts at other salons, I found Jess about 4-5 years ago and I’m never disappointed. Previously I always colored my own hair but started having it professionally done by Jess. I love the color so much more than what I was using. If you have curly hair, Jess is your girl!!
