to massages and waxing, all in a trip to the salon

The Red a Black
You’ve probably been going to the same hair
dresser since you were 3, but it’s time to break
those loyalty ties.
You can grab some pomade for that George
Clooney cut or add honey-brown highlights right
here in downtown Athens.
Here's a run-down of six salons, including a bar
ber shop and full-service spas, for your locks.

$50 for cap highlighting
$65-$100 for foiling

Hours: 10 a m. - 6 p m., Monday - Saturday
Walk-ins welcome
It may look like an art gallery, but hair is the
speciality at Dream Catcher Hair and Art.
“It’s not your typical salon and we like it that
way,” said stylist Holly Westberg. “We try to have a
fUn, laid-back atmosphere that’s not pretentious.
We don't want our clients to feel rushed in and
out.”
After switching from a salon in Atlanta, Jesse
Lawler said he regularly comes into Dream Catcher
for a trim.
“The drive (to Atlanta) wasn’t exactly worth it,”
said Lawler, a senior from Norcross.
Lawler even bought one of the paintings off the
wall that was done by a local artist.
When asked why he doesn't go to a cheaper
salon, Lawler said one word — “fear.” There’s a
trust between him and his stylist, he said.

massages."
“They do great color here,” said Tonya Dugas,
getting her hair highlighted with three different col
ors. “That’s what draws me here."
For a full head of foiling and a trim, Dugas, a
senior from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., paid $75.
Noticing a trend, stylist Alice Whitlock said that
a lot of freshmen continue to go back home even

get brave (and go to local stylists),” she said.

No doubt about it, Great Clips is the cheapest
salon In town.
"You won’t be able to find anyone in town for
$9,” said stylist Ernestine Johnson. “Great Clips is
set up for people with short schedules.”
Trendy dos for the guys include the
Ceasar/George Clooney cut and a style stylist Kristi
Burns referred to as bed-head. She described it as
a no fuss, messy look, “like in a Gap commercial."
As far as girls go, "everybody’s coming back and
getting long layers," said stylist Judy Hattaway.
“That's what’s great about a college town —
you’re constantly getting new (styles),” Bums said.

haircuts in coupon books such as Passport and in
the Sunday paper, Hattaway said.

Lock Nest is also one of the few places that
charges the same for both sexes.
"We don’t discriminate," said styhst Dana
Adkins. “Some girls have shorter hair, and some
guys are like Fabio."
As far as trends go, Adkins said, “Guys and girls
are getting a lot of color lately. We find ourselves
doing more color than haircuts some days."

shop at 7:30 in the morning for a $10 haircut?
As the only barber shop downtown, Mr. Haircut
has been trimming and shaving for more than 30
years, said barber Susan Dunn.
"We don’t see a lot of trendy people," Dunn said.
"It's more conservative cuts. Most men who get
their hair cut want it to look like It did a month
ago.”
The barbers see so few girls come in they don’t
even have a set price for them, Dunn said.
