Standard Salon

Everyone at the Standard is simply wonderful. They are open and welcoming. It always feels like they genuinely care about each individual who enters the salon. I see Sarah Clarke as my stylist and have for years now. She is hands down the best person I have ever seen. She takes time with me and works through what I want with my hair but also has great suggestions for how to work with my hair. I have had longer hair, very short hair, and have done color at the Standard, and I have never been disappointed. Actually I have always been thrilled with what Sarah has done. Jillian, the receptionist, takes the time to speak with you and set you up well any time you call or enter. I have had Kody cut my hair as well, and he too did a great job. I highly recommend the Standard and have refer

Absolutely the best hair stylist in Athens. Lisa is incredibly talented and utilizes exceptional technique to provide amazing results. I trust her advice 100% and have never left her salon without an incredible haircut and color.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience here. I was leaving from Athens to go to a wedding in Pittsburgh on a Saturday. I booked an early morning appointment for a blowout so I didn't have to worry about doing my hair once I arrived in Pittsburgh. I literally only needed a wash and dry with some loose curls put in. I made sure my appointment was with Sarah after reading excellent reviews. I showed her 2 pictures of women with hair the same length or shorter than mine with an idea of the loose/wavy curl I was looking for. I do it with my flat iron all the time but I made an appointment this day for convenience. She was extremely nice and professional. She expressed no concerns with the pictures I showed her. While drying and styling my hair I was facing away from the mirror. When s

From the moment I stepped in the door at the Standard, I received the kind of high end treatment I would expect at a cosmopolitan salon. I was graciously received, my coat was taken, and I was offered a beverage. As I relaxed on the sofa in the brightly illuminated lobby (which was spotlessly clean) , I enjoyed the local art featured on the walls. The decor is tasteful and modern, and it is obvious that great attention to detail is given to ambiance and service. Salon owner and director Lisa Kieliszewski is highly trained and gave me a superb consultation and cut. I absolutely love it, and I cannot say enough about the L'Anza Keratin Healing treatment. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. This is a salon par excellence.

Sarah did a beautiful job. I explained how I've been trying new salons ever since my favorite stylist had moved, and how the other salons had messed up my layers. Not only did she fix my layers, but she showed me what kind of cut works best with my length until I'm able to grow it out to the length that I want!
