Atomic Kitten Salon

Always reeks of cigarettes in here, for people with breathing issues or who don’t want second hand smoke cancer stay away. They have a weird system to ring items up, the overhead music turns off when they are ringing someone up. I feel the women here aren’t very professional.

Awesome interior, relaxing atmosphere, vintage collection pieces to check out. A very customer Friendly place. Hair cuts, trims, nails, and centrally located. Excited that I was able to try this place out, would definitely go back.

I was recommended to this salon by several people. After such high reviews I decided to book an appointment. Finally after 2 months of waiting, the day of my appointment arrived. I showed up 10 minutes early to my 9am appointment. I checked in with the receptionist. Around 930, my stylist called me letting me know she was running late. Strike one. I reminded her that I needed to be to work by 4 and she assured me that I would be done in plenty of time. I then sat for 2 hours while she applied the ombré. Waited another hour for it to process. She took me back to the sinks to wash it out and I sat another 45 minutes for the toner to so it’s magic. Much to her surprise she was able to add the tint that I wanted. Another hour of waiting. Knowing I have thick hair, I knew she wouldn’t have enough time to cut and style it before I needed to go to work. Taking me back to the chair she decided that there was «not that much damage» and it wouldn’t need a cut. Rushing through the styling, she finished with giving me 10 minutes to get to work on time (I was late). My stylist charged me $ 40 more than our agreed upon price because of the thickness of my hair (mind you I went and had a consultation so she knew what to expect). Strike 2. As the days passed, I noticed the tint fading fast. Less than a week after my dye job, it was completely gone. I was not informed the color she put in was only temporary. I would have never done it if I was properly educated on the type of color being used. And the quality of my hair? My hair breaking off like straw. Super dry and brittle. Gummy when wet. Damaged like I’ve never seen before. Strike 3. I had to cut off at least 6 inches to get it back to normal.
I know people have had better experience with my stylist, she wouldn’t be booked solid 2 months in advance if she was completely incompetent, but I felt the need to share my personal experience. Hope this helps someone in choosing their next colorist.

Ok so the only reason I gave this place more than one star is because I love the way my hair turned out. The reason I refuse to give it 5 stars is because I have never felt so uncomfortable in a salon in my life. I have anxiety just stepping into a salon but this place made it 10x worse. I had moments when I was sitting under the dryer and I felt like just running out. Let me tell you why. These people are very unprofessional and VERY immature. The entire time I was there all of the stylists just kept talking about all of their clients and not in good ways. My niece was 2 seats down from me and her stylist kept coming over to my stylist and talking a bunch of crap about my niece and I just couldn’t believe it. Overall they are great at coloring and they know what they are doing. So as long as you have thick skin and don’t mind a ton of gossip then this place is for you. I will not be returning. Very bad vibes.

They took my in short notice on a busy day as a walk in. I absolutely loved the customer service as well as the atmosphere. I had a good time while I was there as well as leaving with nice pretty hair.
Cameron did a awesome job!

Adriana Chavez is the best!!! She always does a fantastic job on my hair. I highly recommend her. Thanks Adriana!!!

My stylist name was Maria my apt was scheduled for 1 PM I arrived at 12:50. Was not greeted when I walked in the door. I didn’t know what my stylist look like or who she was. So after I noticed a women walk in around 1:05 and go stay by her station and not look for her next client which is me I went up to the front and asked if Maria was coming in the girl told me it was only five minutes after one. But then second later she looked and said oh there’s Maria just standing there kinda rude. By the time she started putting color on my it was 1:45 pm I have a 3 year old I had to leave at home along with my hubby. So I didn’t get out of there untill 5:25. My hair looked nothing like my pic I showed her. The only reason she’s getting 2 stars is the hair was done ok. But not what I asked for. So after that being said I would not recommend atomic kitten anyone.

Had a great experience with Stephany. She listened to my wants and helped me figure out the best option for my hair color. She really knows her stuff. All her Instagram pics show how good she is at doing her thang. Walked out loving my new color and cut! Will definitely be back again… atmosphere is relaxed and not stuffy like some other salons I’ve been to in the past. Prices were reasonable, too. You got what you pay for, and great hair is so worth it!

I was in town for the weekend and decided to chop off my hair. Mainly because it was 107° outside.
I did a quick scan on Unilocal to see if any salon was open on a Sunday and could take a client last minute.
When I called Atomic Kitten someone answered the phone within seconds and quickly scanned the books to see if any hair stylist was available. Atomic Kitten is known for their coloring capabilities, but because all I wanted was a cut they were able to squeeze me in.
Keep in mind that my hair cut took 1 hour tho.
I showed up at the salon and was greeted right away. The salon was very clean and it was an open space so it didn’t feel crowded. (They have outside seating available too.)
As I sat down to meet my stylist I noticed that each stylist provides their own equipment, ie: brushes, scissors, hair dryer, etc. My stylist (Andree) was incredibly nice and sociable. I told her what I wanted which was a shoulder length haircut. However, because I was donating my hair she said that I would have to cut it shorter. She suggested I get a bob with a side cut. Meaning it would be longer on one side to get a more edgy look. I said ok. I’ve donated my hair a few times before so a short haircut didn’t scare me.
Unfortunately I didn’t like the end product that much because it was shorter than I wanted and not styled the way she said she would do it. As a person I loved my stylist, but it wasn’t the haircut I was looking for.

The last place I went to did a terrible job on my hair so I went to Atomic Kitten and Sharyl did an amazing job on my hair :) she was on one crutch because she had recently injured her foot but she still did her best to make my hair look great!

First time coming here and i have to say it was very nice I was nervous because my hair is super long and I was hoping they would give me a cut and coloring that I desired and I definitely got what I asked for I got Malia she was amazing so kind and funny and listened to every detail I will definitely be back :)

After my hairstylist moved I had not had my hair cut in 18 months. Unilocal reviews for Atomic Kitten were quite impressive so I took a chance and made an appointment with Jackie. Love, love, love my new hair style! Even got a few compliments from my husband and sons, now that’s saying something! hehehe

I went their thinking i would love this place. so as soon as i went in their no one cared to greet me. i sat their and waited 40min after my appointment time for the hairstylist to show up. i showed her a pic of what i wanted and came out nothing like it. went their 2 more times and got disappointed again because of how my hair came out and how rude the people are.

Great ambiance, amazing stylists. Savannah is amazing!!! She does wonders for your skin!!! The best esthetician by far!!! She is reliable, affordable, and most of all she is knowledgable. I was having problems with acne and after visiting savannah my acne is completely gone, smooth skin, great results! Thank you savannah!!!

I would definitely recommend Kendall! She always leaves me looking good and is super good at what she does.

Wow! Just wow! What an awesome experience.
First the salon itself: 5 stars! I loved the whole vibe and the way it was decorated. The music was great, too.
Now the stylists: 5 stars! I had pictures in my phone to show both stylist to give them an idea of what we were looking for. My stylist was Maria and all I can say about her was that she was completely amazing. I had shoulder length curly hair and wanted to go very short but with fullness on the top. She spent so much time making sure the back was completely even, trimming it up with trimmers. After cutting it with the scissors she used a razor with perfect precision to thin my very thick hair. After blowing it dried she used the thinning shears to thin it more. She then styled it and used some texturizer. I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out and styling it this morning after washing it was so fast and easy. Amazing stylist.
My mom’s stylist was Ramona. I didn’t see her cut my mom’s hair but the end results were gorgeous. My mom looks 15 years younger (she is 82!) and this is no exaggeration. The cut is beautiful and she showed my mom how to style it. Today my mom washed and styled her hair and it looks lovely.
All in all, I would give the Atomic Kitten 10 stars if I could. My mom and I are super happy thanks to Maria and Ramona.

I was browsing around Instagram for Bakersfield hair when I came across Adriana’s hair work. My hair was not in the best of shape in color from previous work (don’t want to say names). I told her of my experience with the other hair salon and she assured me results in which she definitely delivered! This is one happy customer! I came out absolutely loving my hair and even got several compliments from strangers. This is officially my go to place or should I say Adriana is the lady to go to! :)

I just moved to Bakersfield. I got my first haircut there today by Malia. It was a wonderful experience. Not only is Malia very talented with cutting and styling hair, she is a wonderful person. She made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Actually everyone in the shop was friendly.
Malia took time to talk to me about my hair, look at it how it behaves (it’s kinda curly) and gave me an awesome haircut! I’m really happy with it and I’m so glad to have found a such a great hair stylist and salon in my new town.

I have been coming here for the past year. Never disappointed. I always get my hair cut with Cam. He is very nice and always sparks up a great conversation. The hair cut is good and the stylist always spends time asking what you want while making good suggestions to fit you. The Prices are great. $ 30 cut, blow dry and style.
Ladies this is the best salon in town !

The new Atomic Kitten Salon location on Eye Street looks great, a perfect throwback to the very stylish 50’s & 60’s. I love the new furniture and fixtures, there’s a very open and bright feel to the salon, quite inviting and comfortable.
Not to mention my hair looks wonderful, as it always has for years.
