Patch is looking for the best hair salon in the area. Tell us your favorite place to go when your roots are in need of some TLC.

 

So far, readers are telling us that the best places to style their tresses are Taylor Brooks, Bob Steele and Golden Scissors.

There's still time for you to nominate your favorite salon.

We all know that sitting down in a chair at the hair salon is transformative. It's where magic happens - this is, if the stylist is worth their weight in shears.

Whether it's a simple trim, full highlights or an entirely new do, in the end, we all swivel around to the mirror in hopes of renewed vitality. After all, a "good hair day" is something akin to the holy grail in any beauty regime.

So, which salon in Alpharetta and Milton helps you craft your signature look?

Tell us your favorite salon in the comments section below and we'll put them into a poll — ready for you to vote to help us determine the local favorite on July 23.

We'll accept nominations until Monday, July 9.

Yeh, and your point?

...zip codes are based for the most part on the closest post office, it has nothing to do with what city you live in.

30005 is acceptable for both John's Creek and Alpharetta, 30009 for both Milton and Alpharetta, and 30004 for Milton and people living in Forsyth and Cherokee Counties with Alpharetta mailing addresses.

None of that changes the FACT that Taylor Brooks Salon is NOT in Alpharetta.

Sorry, hate to break it to you, but Johns Creek, like Milton, is a distinct city unto itself, and not a part of Alpharetta.

If you want to say Ocee is part of Johns Creek, or Crabapple part of Milton, I'd be happy to agree with you, but the fact is, you are in the CITY OF JOHNS CREEK, not the CITY OF ALPHARETTA and your ignorance in no way can change that.

A salon posts a request for votes on its Facebook page and shoots to the lead. That's why it's hard to put a lot of confidence in contests like this. It becomes more of a social media contest than a real survey. Note: I'm not saying the salon isn't good, just pointing out a fact about the nature of these 'contests.'

Travis, thanks for your comments. I'm a regional editor at Patch, over both Alpharetta-Milton and Johns Creek. Readers in either Patch can nominate anyone they want. If a business is in the immediate area, then I don't see a problem. We're calling this contest Readers' Choice. If readers like a business outside their city limits, so be it.

Taylor brooks salon caught my attention on every news station recently. They give back to their community every way possible- they are upscale without the upscale rudeness I have gotten at other salons mentioned above. I saw episodes in regards to their locks of love event that they have been hosting for many years and that they broke the record in the past for 100+ ponytails. I have to say I then called to book an appointment where the manager Ashley assisted me in locating an amazing stylist - Natalie- I was just in aww that their customer service was superb and their atmosphere was more inviting than imaginable- my overall salon experience was hands down the best I have ever received- they are the best salon in ALPHARETTA!!!

You're entitled to your opinion of course.

It just scares me that the cities of Johns Creek and Milton have been incorporated for over five and a half years, but nobody wants to hear it. I'm not sure if these folks vote locally or not, but for the most part I believe they are part of the majority that do not and may not even know what city they live in.

I'm just going on the main description of the page where it says "So, which salon in Alpharetta and Milton helps you craft your signature look?"

I haven't knocked any business mentioned, I'm sure they are all fine businesses and it's obvoius that their clients appreciate them enormously.

But if you'd like to nominate a business in Johns Creek, then do so in the appropriate place for nominating those businesses.

The governments and citizens of both Johns Creek and Milton have put in more than enough time and money to be recognized as individual cities and it's more than past time for people to respect that and give these cities their due recognition instead of lumping them in with Alpharetta.

If Alpharetta-Milton Patch readers nominate a business within their immediate area, it doesn't matter if it's outside their city limits. It's what they like and that's that. This is called Readers' Choice for a reason. To quibble about locations in these comments is totally pointless.

Salon Citrus in Alpharetta is definitely the best! Organic, eco-friendly products, the most amazing cuts and color by Barbara, even henna for hair. Barbara is the most accommodating, talented stylist. Each service is personalized for the client. Most salons around here only know how to do 1 or 2 cuts, but with Barbara each client has and keeps their own unique look and its all done in a intimate, friendly setting.

Salon Citrus - hands down the best salon I have been to in 30+ years - regardless of where I lived at the time - Louisville, Atlanta, Boston or Chicago. I truly have lost count of the number of salons I have been to where I paid good money for them to mess up my hair. Not at Salon Citrus. Barbara is great. She listens, she's talented, her products are GREAT and the atmosphere of her place is perfectly cozy and inviting. If you need color or a perm that is not going to fry your hair or poison your scalp - go see Barbara. And don't even think about going anywhere else if someone has already screwed up your cut or color - she can fix it!
