Chaparral Salon

I’ve been going to Jo for a little over three and a half years now, almost four. With no hesitation, I used to travel to Atlanta to see him, and having him back in Athens genuinely makes me happy. Jo has a way of making you feel comfortable and truly seen. It’s clear they love what they do, but more than that, they care deeply about you feeling confident and looking like the best version of yourself. I’ve always felt respected in his chair, and the space they create feels safe and intentional. Their consultations are thoughtful and thorough, and at this point I fully trust his vision and expertise. Jo is a true artist. From my own experience and from watching friends who also see them, it’s obvious how much care they put into each person as an individual. They consider skin tone and faci

I’ve been here a few times and always go to Froggie. They’re super sweet and very gender-affirming. We always have nice convos while I’m getting my hair done. They also always offer drinks and snacks, which I really appreciate. In terms of my haircuts, they’ve done a fantastic job every time!! I get compliments even months after I have had my hair cut and/or dyed :) they are great at doing whatever style I ask for and making it uniquely fit me. I’ve gone from shoulder to chin length a couple times, gotten peekaboo vibrant (with some money pieces), had my entire head shaved and dyed a vibrant color, and then came back for a shaping mullet after that buzz cut grew out. I’m absolutely in love their work and will keep going here for as long as I live in Athens!!! Oh, did I mention that I have

Had my first haircut with Jenny recently and had a wonderful experience! She's excellent with curly hair, lovely to chat with and the salon space is calming and well-decorated. I've bounced around salons in Athens but feel like I've found a stylist that I'll keep coming back to! Thanks, Jenny!

Froggie is literally amazing and magical. We have the best little convos and they are so attuned to being sensory friendly and check in a lot on how I'm doing, since I tend to get overstimulated during haircuts. They hold space for you, are goofy silly with you, and celebrate with you. Every time Froggie cuts my hair it's transformative magic, gender euphoria and soul opening, opening doors for new self-expression and self-perception kind of magic. Froggie is super gifted at what they do, is truly an artist, and is just a really cool person. In a big life transition they created and shared the most empathetic, open, and celebratory space with me. All the lil gremlins and trans people and gender creative artists and dreamers, go be immersed in Froggie's little creative universe for a minute

If I could give 100 stars, I would. Being eight months pregnant, working in victim services, and caring for three boys at home, I started feeling overwhelmed and defeated. My husband gifted me a 90-minute Transformational Haircut with Froggie Fresh as a self-care treat. Honestly, I didn’t realize how a simple change in my hair could have such a positive impact. Froggie listened carefully to my ideas and understood that my long, damaged hair, which hadn't been cut in years, was weighing me down physically and emotionally. Their kindness and understanding made me feel truly pampered; Froggie took the time to consult with me every step of the way. Their suggestions helped boost my confidence and gave me back a sense of dignity that I didn't realize was missing. I arrived at the salon exhauste
