Head Games

MarieMarie Salon

You see him every few weeks for a touch-up. Yet he insists on calling you Julie. (Your name is Rachel.) To him, you’re just a 1:30 foil job.

Try taking a seat at MarieMarie Salon, the new Kirkwood spot where you’re more than just a number.

Owner and former Van Michael colorist Marie Hansen strives for a social parlor vibe where clients can mix and mingle over 15 buck blowouts and meticulous blunt cuts.

Pearlized walls, vintage orange drying chairs, and fresh flowers add to the comfy charm. Hansen and partner Sidney (who goes by one name) even give back to the community by doing makeovers for women who have been rescued from the sex industry in Atlanta. And with the motto “Do hair, do good,” you can bet they expect the same can-do attitude from their staff.

One less thing to worry your pretty little head about.
