“When your cup is full, you do better work.”
We built Colmado around a simple idea: when your cup is full, you do better work. That applies to our clients, and it applies to our team just as much.
This is a space where craft is taken seriously, creativity is encouraged, and your wellbeing is not an afterthought. We use non-toxic hair color and styling products because we care about what you are breathing and touching every single day.
We are no-tipping because we believe in pricing that respects everyone's time, yours included. We invest in our team's education, schedule, and financial stability in ways that most salons simply do not.
We are located steps from the BeltLine in Old Fourth Ward, one of Atlanta's most vibrant and creative neighborhoods, in a space that is beautiful, intentional, and worth showing up to every single day.
A career worth building.

Something no other salon in Atlanta can offer.
Your client can walk out with a bottle worth talking about and hair she loves. That is the kind of place people tell their friends about. It builds your clientele without you having to do anything extra.
The bottle shop
Small-batch, low-intervention wine from around the world, with a woman behind every bottle. Clients can do a tasting any day they are in the chair, three 3 oz pours for $10, and take home any bottle from the tasting at 10% off. Tasting events are held the first and third Thursday evening of each month.
Seasonal bouquets
Depending on the occasion, some of our tastings have seasonal fresh-cut bouquets for sale, so a client can leave with flowers too.
Steps from the BeltLine
Old Fourth Ward is one of Atlanta's most creative and walkable neighborhoods. Your commute, your lunch break, your after-work plans, all better here.
A place for where you are.
