Located North of Atlanta in Gainesville, GA American Salon & Spa has over 35 years experience of serving North Georgia with all of it’s salon and spa needs. The 35 year journey of American Salon & Spa began in 1972 when husband and wife Don and Glenda Drummonds opened up their first salon, The Lions Den.
After two years they expanded their services and opened their second salon Beauxcheveux. Ten years later they moved locations to Gainesville, GA and opened the doors to American Hair.
It was there that they changed the face of beauty. Don & Glenda both founded American Hair with the dreams of changing their small towns’ perception of beauty. They brought new ideas and techniques that they had both gained from traveling all over the US competing in hair shows.
After over twenty years in the industry Glenda retired to raise her fourth child. It was then that Don decided that his dreams of being a stylist had brought him to discovering the dream of teaching. He began to teach his daughter Dana Drummonds the gift and artistry of cosmetology. After years of training under her father Dana’s passion and talent led her to becoming a partner.
In 2000 Don and Dana expanded American Hair to American Salon & Spa, and became the first Aveda Concept Salon north of Atlanta. With over 35 years of experience in the industry, we have the talent, passion, and knowledge to bring the best services and customer satisfaction.
Our team is committed to serving the best techniques, new ideas, and excellent service. All of our team members attend on-going education, beauty events, and community activities At American Salon & Spa we bring the ‘ big-city’ to a small town, while keeping the warmth of a family-owned and operated business.
Every appt. Is a great experience. Love the people there and the service. My hair always looks great when I leave and I get compliments on my hair for weeks after (they love the color). I feel my hair is much healthier when I leave. The scalp massage is very relaxing as well. I enjoy the wonderful Aveda herbal tea they serve also. Highly recommend.
Called the salon today for a new client haircut. Of course they were booked and they didn't have an opening for a few weeks. After a few hours they called me with a cancellation and I was able to get in today! I was scheduled with Sarah and she was amazing. I let her use her talent and skill to do what she thought best. The best part was the amazing head and scalp massage! It was my first time there but they were so friendly I felt like a longtime client. Will definitely be going back.
Been going here for 25 years. Great family run business with good people to take good care of you.
I’ve been seeing Alexis for spa services for a few months now, and it’s made a huge difference in my skin! She makes great recommendations at each appointment based on my current skin needs and always creates a welcoming and relaxing environment. More recently I started seeing Sydney for haircuts, and I recommend booking with her as well! Her energy is great, and I’m always happy with my hair.
This is hands down the best salon I have ever been to! Everyone is super friendly and they make the experience comfortable and relaxing. Emily (and this salon) is the only person I will ever let touch my hair. I have really long hair and she doesn’t damage it! You leave feeling like you’ve known her forever! Her cuts and colors are the best. I appreciate you all! Thank you, Emily, for always happily willing to deal with this long head of hair ❤️❤️ Love you guys!!!
