    I just love this place and can't get enough of it! Every time I go in, I come out with this great fresh look! They are very cutting edge on all of their cuts. If your looking for a amazing place to get your hair cut, and get tons of compliments after, even when it's time to get your hair cut again! I highly recommend FRUITION SALON!!!!!!!

    Though Fruition may have sub-par trendy haircuts, do not visit them for an over-priced brow wax. They did a fine job, but I am not sure what makes it $35? There are better places in Nashville that do it for 1/3 of the price.

    I have been going to Mary at Fruition for several years and I am consistently impressed with her skills and desire to make me look great! She always listens to what I am looking for in my hair cut and color, gives me great ideas and then validates what I want to do. I always leave the salon very, very happy with my cut and color. One of the things that makes Fruition unique is the atmosphere. There is a real sense of teamwork, excellence and passion. From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted by friendly staff who all seem to be there to make sure you have a great experience - and leave feeling beautiful! They sell great products and I feel like Mary educates me about products. I never feel that "sales pressure" from Mary or any of the other staff members like I have felt at other salons. When Mary was out for a few weeks, I used 2 other stylists and was equally impressed with their skills too! Prices are a bit higher than some of the other salons in town, but I think it ...

    I recently took my daughter to get a haircut, after several botched jobs in the past, and she was thrilled. She took a picture with her and Brian cut her hair and it looked EXACTLY like the picture. I then decided to switch from my current stylist and went into see Brian and also got color from Natalie. They did an amazing job. I have never been so satisfied with the results in my 36 years. I am now a devoted patron of Fruition and will recommend both Brian and Natalie to everyone I know. Thank you to Chicago for giving them up so we can have the benefit of their hands and talent here in Nashville. GO TO FRUITION!!! I have been to most of the high end salons in Nashville and none of them compare to Fruition, and none of the stylists and colorists beat the team of Brian and Natalie!

    The last time I had my hair done (at an Aveda salon) cut, color, style were perfect. But it was REALLY pricey, and frankly, I don't like Aveda products. They're kind of dull, and don't fade well even using salon products for maintenance. So I decided to switch to Fruition. I let my Natalie know that I love my current color, please just boost it so it's not faded anymore, and of course even out my roots - I explicitly said that I hate how dark they are. As for the cut, I asked to please just trim the ends of the layers to keep it healthy. Result: my hair was dyed to match my dark roots. Cut: defined layers ruined and shaggy, with wispy ends that don't hang or fall gracefully, and a blunt bottom to my hair. Style: instead of volume which I asked for, my hair is totally flattened. Oh, and she never asked how I usually part it, so she cut along the middle part (which I hate), and thanks to chopping up my layers, my hair won't part on the sides until it grows out. A correction is scheduled ... Read more

    After several bad experiences with trendy/upscale, highly advertised salons in Nashville, I was a little nervous to take the plunge again. However, from my first contact with the staff at Fruition, I was both impressed and put at ease. The person I spoke with to make the appointment was friendly and didn't make me feel like she was doing me a favor. When I arrived at the salon, both the environment and the staff were warm and welcoming. And even though I was only there for a haircut, I was immediately offered a beverage. I had barely settled into the waiting area when my stylist, Natalie, promptly came to introduce herself and take me back for a consultation. I simply can't say enough good things about Natalie. She is friendly and upbeat in a very genuine way. She studied my hair (which is very thick and curly and usually scares stylists), listened to what I had to say about my wishes and difficulties, made her recommendation, and then asked me how I felt about it. I was immed... Read more

    Just loved this Salon!! From the moment I walked into the door, I knew I'd love this place. I'm from out of state, visiting family in town. This salon was recommened and I thougth "Why not, I wanted to get a new haircut for the summer." The staff is so nice. My stylist was Mary. I showed her a photo of a haircut I wanted. She advised me that I would need layers and lots of my long hair cut off. Like I said, I wanted something new. Mary was amazing! I felt like a millon bucks when I left. I highly recommend Fruition Salon for it's location, price, but because of the staff. When I'm back in town visiting my aunt and her family, I'll make Fruition Salon one of my first stops. Thanks everyone! PS: I loved the products. My hair feels amazing!

    I visited Fruition because of its reviews on this site. I brought in pictures of what I wanted, a LONG natural cut with a few layers for depth (a la Kate Hudson with wavy hair). What I got was something that will make me ashamed to go in public for the next year. We discussed what I wanted and I agreed to the length and style. I had VERY long hair so she did an initial cut to get off all the damage ... so far so good. I LOVED the length she gave me and was excited about spending a load of money on the cut ... THEN SHE CUT AT LEAST 4 MORE INCHES OFF! I was in shock. It was too late to say anything after she started... the damage was done. I had to sit there and try not to cry as she finished. She proceeded to give me razored looking layers that start at the bottom of my head (I had NO idea it would be THAT dramatic and it in NO WAY reflected my pictures) and a what I THOUGHT would be a gradual slop around my face. What it not looks like is a mullet in the back and golden retriever ... Read more

    Thank you Anna Thiele at Fruition! Your work was Excellent! I truly needed help achieving my goals with a tricky hair situation but with your good advice I found the best solution for me. Thanks for listening and helping me look and feel fabulous! And to top it all off, my husband said that I looked hot as a brunette! I wasn't expecting that reaction. I'm happy that he too likes my new hairstyle and color. When I made my appointment at Fruition the staff was genuine, welcoming and concerned that my needs were met. I found Fruition absent of the typical drama, frantic atmosphere, and rediculous pricing that is seen so often these days. I got excellent work at a good price and was treated well. And thats what it is all about! Hats off to this salon for BRINGING IT!

    Everytime I go to a new salon, I feel awkward when I get there, and leave without satisfaction. Not at Fruition! They are very welcoming, they don't pressure you to buy things, and Edward Lampley, who cuts hair there, is by far the best haircut I've ever gotten. I will never get my hair cut by anyone else. He does exactly what you ask for, gives you professional advice, and is also such a good guy! If you go there, ask to get your hair cut by him! He's the best!

    I recently moved to Nashville and didn't know where to get my haircut. I saw a girl on the street with a great cut and asked her where she went. She told me Valerie at Fruition, so the very next I booked my appointment. It took me a couple of weeks to get in but it was well worth it! Valerie gave me the best Haircut I have had in a long time. I would recommend her to anyone!

    I went to Fruition a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Heather G was my stylist and did a fantastic job on the men's haircut! It is nice to go to a Salon that has not forgotten about customer service. Very friendly staff. I went to another supposed "Top Salon" before this and was very dissappointed with their service and pricing. This is the place to go!

    I recently experienced my first visit to Fruition. It has a fun, trendy environment and I was excited that I had finally found a great salon here in Nashville. However, that turned out not to be the case. Valerie was my stylist. After explaining to her what I wanted for about 5 minutes, she showed me what she intended to do and I agreed. However, what she said she was going to do and what she did are two completely different things. Long story short, I ended up with a lopsided cut that I'll have to wait two or three months for it to grow out. From her reaction to my cut, even she was less than pleased with the results but was obviously trying to pass it off as wonderful by being overly cheerful about how great it looked. Overall, the other stylists may be great but I felt like I was just another person on an assembly line while getting my hair cut by Valerie.

    I started going to Fruition about one year ago, and I love it! I have been seeing Heather Gardner, and she is not only very talented at men's haircuts but also very friendly. I like the Bumble & Bumble products, too. I pay $36 (tip included) for a haircut, and hair products sold in-store cost more (maybe excessively more). I recommend this salon to all men looking to get a sophisticated, but not frilly haircut.

    I have been going to Fruition for around three years and I love it. I have had both Mary and Heather G. do my hair and they are both great! I have never left the salon unsatisfied. Everyone is so friendly and they really take the time to explain exactly what they're doing to your hair, but without any sales pressure. Book your appointment early because they are busy, but they are also very good about informing clients of cancellations. Fruition is a great salon and I would recommend Heather G. and Mary to anyone!

    I have followed Heather Mc from salon to salon till she opened Fruition. Her staff is incredible! Heather Red is a color genius and Heather G. is fabulous at cuts and color. You can't go wrong with any of the stylists. This is an extremely friendly, talented and thoughtful group. I take my appointment book and schedule for months in advance - what you would expect with a wildly popular salon!

    I've been going to the owner of this salon, Heather McCollum, for 6 years now and have always been satisfied... she makes me feel like a princess!! That says something b/c 6 yrs is a long time! I've seen the finished product from the other stylists and would go to them as well. Also, the atmosphere is very pleasant, which is really important to me... I highly recommend this salon.

    I love this place!! Michelle did my color and Valerie did my cut. They make a wonderful team and I couldn't be happier. Not only did I receive a great service, but the entire staff made me feel welcome and right at home. Often in cutting edge salons I feel unwelcomed and ignored. That is not the case at Fruition Salon. I have to make sure to book my next appointment in advance each time but that is fine with me.

    I recently moved away from Nashville and am devastated. I do not trust anyone to do my hair but Heather Jr and the girls at Fruition. They are the absolute best! I have been going to Fruition since it opened and can't imagine trusting my hair to anyone else. All the people there are sweet and funny. The atmosphere perfect and everyone makes you feel at home. It is hard to make an appointment, but that is a testament to how good everyone is. You just make your appointments in advance and always have something to look forward to. They are very good ay keeping waiting lists and calling with any cancellations. I am considering flying back to Nashville just to get my hair done! Crazy I know...but Heather Jr is that good.

    A friend of mine refered me to Kristin at Fruition. There was a six week wait so I asked to added to the waiting list. I got a call from Kristin a few weeks later and she told me that she had a cancelation and I was able to come in. It was totaly worth the wait. I will never go anywhere else to get my hair done. Kristin is the best stylist in Nashville. She made me feel like I was worth her time. Unlike other salons in town that made you feel like they are too good for you. I also had no problems with the receptionist. She seemed very sweet, and helpful. I give Fruition TWO THUMBS UP!!

    You cannot even book an appointment to this place unless you do so two months in advance. So, what good are evening hours if you can't even get in to see a stylist? I wouldn't even waste my time with Kayla, the receptionist. She is rude and not helpful at all.

The salon has such a comfortable feel to it and everyone is always so nice to me! I've had to start booking my appointments in advance because they are busy but it makes me feel good to know they are in such high demand. You should definitely check them out!

    Went to this salon for the first time based on reviews here. Was very frustrated by a 30+ minute wait. Staff didn't communicate that there was a delay and no one seemed interested in letting me know. Did receive a call from sytlist about 45 after the haricut was scheduled apologizing - but still very frustrating. What's the point of making an appointment if no one is going to be on time?

    I have lived in Nashville working in the music business for the past 7 years. I heard about Fruition from a girl in my office so I checked them out. Kristin cut my hair and I can tell you that not only did she do an amazing job making me look like a rock star, but she had me in and out in less time than most places that I have been to in the past. I have recomended Kristin to all my friends, and most have left the places that they have been going to for years and have now come into Fruition.

    I had a wonderful experience at Fruition! With everything from personality to professionality, Mary did an amazing job with my hair. It is so much easier to manage and style these days!! I also had a very relaxing time due to the peaceful, calm, friendly environment. I will continue to highly recommend Fruition to everyone I know.

    This place is great! Mary cut my hair and did a wonderful job. I have been paying lots of money at a different salon in Green Hills... they always rushed me and the place was very pretentious. Fruition is none of that! Mary was very sweet... I felt like I was the only one in the place... It is a very friendly place and not pretentious AT ALL! Best of all... it was much cheaper than I am used to paying! This is definitely my new salon. The only downside I saw is that the receptionist could have been friendlier but hey... I can deal with that... we all have bad days!

Honestly, she gave me the best cut of my life!!! She is fabulous. As for the salon itself... beautiful, warm and welcoming!

Valorie rocks, and that's all there is to it. If you're looking for something cute and creative, this is the place.

    Today I had a really positive first experience at Fruition Salon. Keri was my stylist and was not only creative, but also super friendly. She gave a great shampoo, too! Even though she was running a little behind, I never felt rushed. I left with an awesome new look and didn't have to pay a fortune to get it! Will definitely be back to see Keri!

    Finally, there's a place here in Nashville where we can go to be inspired to look better and feel better about ourselves instead of feeling like we're not cool, trendy or hip enough to get a haircut. The staff at the salon is first-rate: professional, talented, personable and sincere. I don't know how they do it, but they are always fresh and ready to work - like you're the first head they've looked at that day. The atmosphere and decor are calming and fashionable. You will be well taken care of at this haven.

The atmosphere is relaxed yet professional with a creative flare. Heather Junior has to be my favorite if I must choose. Everytime I leave, I look forward to coming back.

    This is by far the best salon I have ever been to. And I have tried many! I have thick naturally curly hair, and without even bringing in a picture, Keri knew how to cut and color my hair better than I had imagined. She has incredible artistic vision and a great personality. Its not your usual gossiping salon~they are smart and stylish women who know exactley what your looking for before you do!

    If you've got crazy curly hair and are sick of stylists who are afraid to hack away at it, go see Misty! Finally, I found someone who knows better than I do what to do with my insane natural curl. I didn't have to make any decisions or guide her at all-- she just cut away and sent me out the door with the first haircut I've been happy with since I stopped straightening it. Thank god for Misty!

    Fruition was definitely a fruitful experiences. All the stylists are artists as well as technicians, masterfully combining knowledge of color and shape to make every person filling one of their seats look their best. I'm thrilled with my color, a three shade, natural masterpiece, as well as my classic-yet-modern cut! It's just a plus that the salon itself has very soothing, clean, and modern decor.
