CRAFT hair+co in Nashville, TN

Tried this salon for the first time and though my first visit wasn't exactly a home run...after reaching out, the owner Korie and my stylist Kaitlynn, were not only very understanding but all about correcting my color to a look that aligns more with my aesthetic. All w/out compromising the health of my hair to boot!
It turned out so GOOD! I am very grateful that the anxiety I felt, (this being a very uncomfortable situation to bring up and discuss) melted away, due to their grace and professionalism. 5stars! I would highly recommend this salon and Kaitlynn. #talentedaf

This is such a great salon! The staff are so kind and welcoming! I had a great cut with Kaitlynn last week.  She is a really talented stylist and did such a great job cutting my curly hair.  I have a hard time finding stylists who can cut curly hair and I am so happy to find someone in Nashville who understands the texture of curls.  They really have a mind of their own in this humidity! I highly recommend this place! This is definitely my go-to salon here in Nashville!

I've been in Nashville for 11 months and I've had three haircuts before I got this so fun and excellent cut by Samantha. I'm not an easy client and I know this. One of my best friends is a hairstylist of 30 years and she has made it difficult for me
To find someone who can work with me and find my new style. A good cut is everything to me and refined my style and vibe. Samantha worked with me to get what I was looking for right now in my life. It's not a symmetrical cut from a magazine. It is a individual cut designed for me with Samantha's added skills and touch and this is what I love. I making such a big deal about it because not too many women in Nashville have short cuts and I couldn't figure out who to go to based on all the pictures of long hair with color and curls.

That said I was fortunate to have my first cut and color done by Kaitlyn who killed my color and brought my hair back to life with my first cut. She painted on the color and I couldn't have explained why I wanted  she nailed it beyond my expectations as well. After almost 4 hours I was satisfied with the cut but wasn't ready to work through the cut. When I was ready Kaitlyn was out of town and this is how I landed in Samantha's chair and found this short cut, gem of a stylist.

I'm super happy with my personalized cut and color through this collaboration.

I recommend if you're going short or enjoy personalized styles and want to play and have fun go see Samantha.

Kaitlin will rock your color. Please do yourself a solid and check out these stylist. From a personal perspective if you want to get outside of your box  here are a couple gems to do it with...

What a great salon! Being it was my first time here I was a little nervous. I always feel intimidated walking into a new salon..is it cliques, will they think I'm too old (61) to be in their trendy salon ?? But Craft was welcoming and a fantastic experience. The owner, Kori, as well as the front desk staff, made me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. My stylist took the time to talk to me about my hair, lifestyle and what has and hasn't worked for me before. Needless to say, I am extremely happy with the results!! I only got a haircut this time, but will  definitely call Craft hair+co my new salon after today!

I came by Craft again hoping to get a cut after several months of avoiding one due to the pandemic. When I could hold off on a haircut no longer, I decided to go to the tried and true location for a trim. The online system is always incredibly efficient, and in a matter of minutes I had an appointment for later in the week.

However, on the day of, I was awoken by a Saturday morning call from a number I did not know. Without consulting me, whoever on the line canceled my appointment and made another one nearly 3 hours after my original time. Confused, I called this number back and clarified that a stylist had canceled for the day. I was given an appointment with a different stylist, which was fine since I hoped to get anyone with a free time.

Come the (new) time of the appointment, I arrived 15 minutes early. The door's sign indicated that I needed to call ahead before entering, so I attempted to...over 3-4 times to no avail. No one was picking up the phone. I tried knocking and even looking into the window. Confused, I ended up just opening the door despite the sign. Luckiliy, it was open, so I let myself into the waiting area. Nearly 30 minutes after my arrival, someone finally addressed me at the counter to let me know the stylist would be ready soon.

Given that this is during Covid, I think the salon is just getting organized with changing schedules and systems in place. I had a decent haircut with a killer shampoo session. Honestly, the head massage during my wash kicked the stress from the wait right out of my system. The cut was okay - it was mostly to fix some issues a previous stylist had caused from a different salon (damage control). I'm okay with the cut, though I will say I still think about my first, flawless experience at this salon.  This time, I think the A/C was out, the wait was strange, and by the time I got to my stylist, I'm not sure I was in a place to appreciate the nuances of the cut. Quite honestly, it felt pretty fast, and the differences were subtle.

I'm still willing to give Craft + Co a go, and I hope you all do as well. The stylists are quite friendly, and I think they're just working out some CoVid planning issues. Otherwise, lovely place and people.
