My experience with Shawon was amazing! I was in town from California and wanted to have my hair professionally done.not a relaxer but the smoothing treatment she offered in her services. I was very relieved that it was just she and I in the shop. And she explained the process and so I had the one step smoothing system.and it made my hair silky soft and I am so glad I had it done.
I am about 5 days in and the whole time I was in ATL it didn't kink up or frizz like it normally does and that is exactly what I wanted. I am thrilled with the results and will figure out what I need to do in 2-3 months! Might just have to come back to ATL! Thanks Shawon for your expertise.

I made an appointment with SP Haircare two months in advance. I made sure that Shawon knew I was in town for a wedding. She rescheduled my appointment 5 times without consulting me first. (I have the text messages to prove it.) I received so many messages that I finally had to call Shawon because in the end, I had no idea what time she had settled on.
I arrived 15 minutes early to be on the safe side. I had to wait 45 minutes before I was taken to the bowl to be shampooed. The service I received was a shampoo, blow dry and flatiron style. No color, no cut. I was there for 3 hours for an appointment that should have taken 90 minutes tops. Shawon's niece was her next appointment and Shawon was pulling foundation colors for her niece and more focused on selecting a foundation for her, than finishing my hair.
The cost for my hair was $85. I paid Shawon a total of $102 ($85 +20% tip) through Venmo. Soon after I left, Shawon sent me a text message and snapshot saying she had two different totals for me. She then called me saying that I chose to pay her as a business transaction on Venmo. I explained to Shawon that I paid her the $85 she said I owed her plus a %20 tip for a total of $102. (I have a confirmation from Venmo that I paid and she accepted the $102).
She tried to insinuate that I only paid her $99. Even if that were true, which it was not, she still received her money for the appointment with a nice tip. Why she would call and text me regarding a $3 discrepancy is beyond me. The entire experience was completely unprofessional and petty.

So my hair was literally falling out of my head by just touching it! I went to SP hair care after hearing such good things! They literally saved my hair! No more shedding! I don't know what they did but I am so thankful! All the treatments worked within a day! My hair is back to being healthy! Service: Hairstyling

I recently moved to GA from Chicago and was in dire need of a Hair Stylist. After reading the reviews for SP HairCare I decided to give it a chance. Let me say. Shawon is exceptional! She made me feel as if I had been a client of hers for yrs. I am not someone that salon hop and I have found another awesome Stylist that I will be with for yrs to come! Thank you Shawon, your genuine spirit and fabulous hair styling skills have made my move just a little bit easier.

STOP! If you haven't been gifted the experience of excellence in hair care, then what are you waiting on? Shawon is FABULOUS she provided a detail cut and relaxer for my natural hair. My hair is sleek, manageable, sexy, bouncy, shiny and healthy. I have been natural for more than 10 years now and I finally decided to give up on letting the weather dictate how I should style my hair.
As I sit sipping my wine and looking at my hair in a long mirror all I can say is Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Shawon for making me look the way I feel. Amazing! To the assistant you were wonderful as well I don't believe it gets any better than this.

Shawon has been a God send! I found her online after months and months of searching for a high quality salon and stylist that could improve the health of my hair and maintain it's integrity. After consistent appointments at SP Haircare and following Shawon's advice on how to sustain my tresses, I reached my hair goals! I always leave my appointments satisfied with healthy and beautifully styled hair. Try her. You won't be disappointed!

I've been going to Shawon for 4 months now every 2 weeks. I have always been hesitant about going to the salon to get my hair done because I have so much hair that most don't know how to do it right. The first thing that drew me in was her own thick hair that was styled beautifully. I knew then that this was someone that could handle the large amount of hair that I have.
The first visit she immediately identified my hairs problem areas and set out to begin treatment. It would take longer then the time that I had booked but she was very accommodating and instead of making me rebook she worked with me in getting my hair done that day. She took her time and all I really cared about was getting my hair healthy so I asked her to cut off all the old color from my hair which was about 8 inches.
With hair that was past my mid back most wouldn't want to sacrifice the length. I felt comfortable enough with Shawon for her to trust the process. By the time we were finished it was 5 hours later and my hair had never felt and looked as nice as it had in that moment. I immediately booked my next session for two weeks later. My hair lasted the two weeks with minimal effort on my part. This is one of the best investments I have made and I definitely recommend Shawon for all your hair needs. My hair is continually growing and is very healthy.

Shawon has been doing my hair for 4 years now. I have moved states since, and I still drive 2.5 hours once a month to get my hair blessed by her. Her expertise in healthy hair maintenance, her professionalism, her attention to detail, and her admiration for her clients are unmatched. As I always tell those I refer to her, IF YOU WANT HEALTHY HAIR, CHOOSE SP HAIRCARE!

Shawon Pinder SP Haircare Salon did an awesome job with my hair, I've been here multiple times and she never disappoints. She is very professional and takes great care of your hair. One thing I really like is that it's a private suite, she keeps it covid safe ( She makes sure to take tour temperature, and use the melaleuca hand soap sanitizing station, )you don't have to worry about crowds when getting your hair done, no long wait times. THE GOOD REVIEWS are TRUE!

She truly cares for your HAIR and if you need a little extra hair she is an expert in that area also.

She has been doing my hair for years, and since she has been doing my hair, no stylist can get it the healthiest or straightest like she does mine. She is very sweet and understanding of your needs, and grows your hair and takes care of it as if it were her own. Will be coming back as long as her salon is up and running! And I love that she is very Covid 19 safe & disinfects everything!

I visited SP HairCare for the first time today and enjoyed my time with Shawon. She is very knowledgable and was able to quickly access the condition of my hair. She suggested a treatment plan for my visit, and, provided information about products I can use at home. After my relaxer and cut my hair felt great- silky and smooth just the way I like it!
I also appreciate her special attention to sanitizing hair stations and social distancing during COVID. I highly recommend SP HairCare if you're looking for someone who cares about the quality of her work and delivers!

I have been coming to SP HairCare seeing Shawon Pinder for about 4-6months now. I went from wearing wigs consistently, which damaged my hair and Shawon Pinder saved my hair! My edges were thinning out and Shawon recommended wonderful hair care products and Vitamins that helped grow and rebuild my hair back! I also enjoy her customer service and her other products such as the SP HairCare Extentions hair line, the hair is super soft and smells really good! I definitely recommend any natural hair girl that wants their hair back to come to her! Thank you so much Shawon Pinder for everything, you just gained a loyal client :!

Upon relocating from New York City to Atlanta, Ga., I knew finding a highly skilled and knowledgeable Hair Stylist would be a challenge. I had the pleasure of being introduced to SP Haircare / Shawon Pinder. I must tell you Shawon took the time listen to me and educate me about my hair. Initially coming from NYC I would request a chemical relaxer, under the care of Shawon I no longer chemically treat my hair. OMG! Shawon is the bomb, my hair has grown long and strong, it is absolutely beautiful. I have found my forever Hair Stylist, I Highly recommend Shawon to everyone, you will not be disappointed.

Shawon Pinder is a master stylist, seasoned professional and authentic spirit all wrapped in one dynamic woman! She has taken my hair from dry, brittle and hard to retain length to moisturized, strong and growing nearly an inch a month! Her experience and wisdom is evident in her handling of my hair. Whenever I go to her for my monthly treatments, she transforms my hair with the hydration and protein treatments. Shawon takes her time on each client, always thoroughly and purposefully attending to the unique needs of each head of hair, including mine! If you're searching for a new stylist who will truly nurture your hair, look no further than Shawon Pinder of SPHaircare

So I moved to Atlanta in 2014 and had neglected my hair for nearly 2 years. My coworker (Renicka) always had beautiful hair flowing and glowing around the workplace and she is the reason for me being saved. Shawon sensed my anxiety around "cutting" my hair but was able to instantly put me at ease once she explained the benefit from ridding me of the damage.
I was a perm wearing, inconsistent and hair careless type of client. Shawon explained to me the discipline my hair needed and how I could go natural and see instant results. I have been with her ever since, moving away and moving back always coming home to amazing hair care. I was someone who always wanted to color my hair and change things up but was concerned at my hair thinning or falling out. Shawon helped me break into the color game which stepped up my look and did not change one thing about my hair quality.
I have now had natural hair for years and could not be more happier with the texture, the length and the overall healthiest hair I have had in years. You cannot go wrong with Shawon.

I first started going to SP HAIR CARE because a friend referred me in 2015. it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. On my first visit she analyzed my hair. My hair was healthy but it could have been healthier. She suggested that we do a cut, that way my hair can properly grow. she gave me the most luxurious/thorough wash. When she flat irons your hair she does NOT burn your scalp my hair was so silky and polished.
I received so many compliments! Here we are in 2018 and I STILL consistently sit in Shawon's chair every two weeks (unless I have braids). My hair has NEVER been healthier nor stronger! People always ask if this is my real hair or if I'm wearing weave If you're thinking about booking an appointment, don't think too hard about it - just do it. You won't regret it.

I came here in December for a virgin hair relaxer. I was very happy with the initial result but less satisfied with how it turned out afterwards. While Shawon was very hospitable, I think she may have sensed that since I was a college student I wouldn't be a returning patron, so she wasn't that attentive. Everything seemed fine when she finished but I started to notice some things that she may have been lax on as I observed my hair.
First my hair wasn't the same texture all the way through. She told me after rinsing that the relaxer that I had chosen wouldn't make my hair completely straight and that there would still be some texture. I thought that could be something that she could have mention before she put it on my head but I let it slide. However after wetting my hair by myself for the first time I realized that my hair wasn't the same texture all the way through.
The back was completely straight while the top was very curly. I think she could've done a more thorough job. Upon writing this review, I was contacted by Shawon to see if there was something she could do to make me more pleased with my hair. I greatly appreciate her reaching out to make sure I'm satisfied.

When I moved to Atlanta 2.5 years ago, my hair was badly damaged and in need of some serious TLC. I remember finding Shawon online. When I showed up to her salon, I was overwhelmed and freaking out about my hair condition. I had a wedding in 8 months, and whole lot of rehabilitation to be done on my head. As I explained and warned her about my course, dry, and very damaged hair, She patiently listened, smiled, and said."trust me with your hair." And so I did.
She nurtured my relaxed hair to health and never relaxer shamed me (bc yes.some of us still use relaxer). Come time for my wedding, She travelled to Nashville and styled me and my bridal party. She stayed during my ceremony and reception, carefully touching me up to make sure every hair was picture perfect. A year after getting married, I had a baby and proceeded to not comb my hair for a month (LITERALLY, no comb, no water, just a head band to hide the shame).
I showed up to her salon apologetic and scared of the havoc I had wrecked. She chuckled, reassured me, and got to work. I left her salon with the cutest low maintenance cut EVER! Just what I needed! The thing that has impressed me most about Shawon is simply her expertise, She has cut, colored, relaxed, and placed extensions at various times during these past 2.5 years she's been taking care of my hair. She's a well rounded stylist and excels in so many areas.
She is not a one trick pony. My hair has never been healthier. I get soooo many compliments on my hair. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how my hair looks and feels. In Atlanta, you'll find people who promise to make your hair look good but it's hard to find someone who will keep your hair healthy in the process. She focuses on the health of your hair! Trust her with your hair.you won't be disappointed.

Excellent, professional stylist. I was dreading trying to find a hair stylist when I moved to Atlanta but fortunately I found Shawon. She's patient, listens to what you need and produces beautiful results. I never feel uncomfortable while I'm there and I won't spend half the day stuck at the hair salon. Pricey, but definitely worth it; she's a great stylist.

I have relocated and found my hair "angel". Shawon Pinder of SP Haircare has "blessed" my hair with her knowledge and talent. My hair has always been a priority for me. With Shawon, every experience I have had, especially my steam and deep conditioning treatments, have raised my hair's condition from good to "phenomenal". The first time I received a three-step conditioner, I knew I would remain faithful to this true professional.
I let her know immediately that she "changed my life". My hair always looked good but now it felt just as beautiful. Shawon constantly stays at the forefront of the most innovative techniques and products, then applies this knowledge to her practice. Most importantly, despite having much success and recognition, she is humble and genuine. She sincerely goes out of her way to make her clients comfortable, support their hair care needs, and share her expertise on how to best help them reach their hair goals. When leaving her, I look and feel photo-shoot ready.
