Unique Styles, founded by a Caribbean native who took a brave leap of faith and opened the shop once he completed barber school, launched on Centerville Highway in 2010 as a barbershop and salon. Cutting hair by day and working as a dietitian at a nearby hospital by night, he sought to have one of the best barber shops and salons in Georgia, with a focus on quality and creativity.

He wanted his shop to stand out from its competitors, so he began by offering seven days of service. He hired people who were not only certified in the beauty industry but also trained in the dynamics of customer service and modeled the importance of meeting the client's expectations. His main goal was to create a one-of-a-kind experience while giving clients a place to be pampered and escape from the pressures of everyday life, as well as a safe place to work for stylists and barbers alike.

Within three years, Unique Styles opened a second barbershop and salon on Lenora Church Road in Snellville, Georgia. After realizing that the barbershop and salon atmosphere he had was not like what he had envisioned, he began trying to figure out why. It became clear that men and women needed their own respective spaces to unwind. With the needs of his clients at the forefront, he began looking for a space that would not only accommodate them but also allow him to fulfill his dreams of building a luxury barbershop and salon with a more sophisticated atmosphere.

In 2018, they were successful in obtaining a prime location on Scenic Highway, where they transformed the Unique Styles brand into a high-end salon featuring separate entries, an adjoining waiting area with two 65-inch TVs, comfortable couches, and a beautiful chandelier. Beyond that, the space broke off into two separate spaces housing a 10-station barbershop suite on one side and a 9-stylist beauty salon suite on the other.

With a new luxury experience, clients were offered a complimentary beverage with an array of options such as a glass of wine, a hot cup of tea or coffee, or a cold bottle of water while they waited. Clients were pampered in custom-made chairs crafted with comfort in mind, while professionals enjoyed custom-made workstations that had plenty of storage and space to accommodate all of their supplies. 

One of the most exciting things about the new direction of the business is that the founder and his beautiful wife decided to use their own images as the logo and brand identity. They even gave the name of the shop an uplift, going from Unique Styles Barber and Beauty to "Unique Styles Grooming and Beauty Bar." 

To date, countless barbers, stylists, and apprentices have worked at Unique Styles. It was established to aid individuals who work in the beauty industry by giving those who are just starting out commission based station rental and always keeping rented stations at a reasonable price. Known as a community-focused business, Unique Styles has provided students with things they need, like free haircuts and school supplies, mentorship, and jobs, giving many young people a chance to make something of themselves the right way.

"God bless the child who has his own" is a phrase we've all heard, right? Well, Unique Styles has not only heard it; we live by it. Starting a business was no small feat, and it took a lot of sacrifices. “Operation expenses were just one of the things that made me think being a business owner wasn't for me," said the founder.

After the impact of COVID-19 in 2020, we had to rethink how we could adapt as a business. And the idea for our latest approach was formed. With this new endeavor, we set out to inspire and assist beauty industry professionals in establishing and/or growing their own businesses.
