What We Do

Three things. Done well.

The craft we focus on. The rest, we leave to specialists. Nineteen years has taught us that depth beats breadth.

Featured · Safer Chemistry

Chemical Services

Color, keratins, lightening, perms. We use formaldehyde-free keratins and non-alkaline color so your hair stays healthy while it transforms. For the client who has questions about what goes on her head, we have answers.

Cutting

Modern barbering for men. Women’s cuts and styling. Whether you want clean classic structure or something more current, we cut to face shape, hair texture, and how you actually live. The shape lasts six weeks; the experience lasts longer.

Extensions

Hand-tied wefts, tape-ins, K-tip installs. We carry the brands stylists trust and we install them so they sit flat, blend clean, and don’t damage what’s already there. Maintained right, they stay beautiful for months.

Built On Care

We pay attention to what goes in.

Beauty industry chemistry has changed a lot in nineteen years. We have changed with it. Here is some of what that means in practice.

01

Formaldehyde-free keratins.

Smoothing treatments without the harsh chemistry. Same result, cleaner air, healthier hair over time.

02

Non-alkaline color.

Gentler color chemistry that protects the cuticle. Truer tones, less damage, color that lasts.

03

Boutique brands, not store brands.

A New Home

Three doors. One craft.

The new building at 8140 Fortson Road was purpose-built for what we do. Walk through the door that fits you.

01

The Barber Side.

Chairs
8

Modern barbering for men. Tools out, music on, conversation real. The room where Eric works most days, with his crew. Layrite Deluxe pomades on the shelf and clippers that know what they’re doing.

02

The Salon Side.

Chairs
12

Fully staffed. The salon where chemical services live. Cuts, color, extensions for the woman who wants depth, not dabbling. Twelve stylists with their own specialties and a shared standard.

03

Private Suites.

Suites
4

Four private rooms behind frosted glass. Shampoo bowl, styling station, processor. For the client who wants a closed-door experience, or the independent stylist who wants their own space inside ours.

Behind The Chair

Same hands.
Nineteen years.

Eric Norris opened NG Salon in 2007 and has been on the floor since.

Est. 2007 · Columbus, GA

Eric Norris opened NG Salon in 2007 and took 100% ownership a year later. He’s a 1995 graduate of Mable Bailey Fashion College and a 2013 graduate of Rivertown School, the year he added the tonsorial side after watching the resurgence of classic barbershops in big cities and Europe.

He talked his way into the trade as a kid, asking his mom for a set of clippers so he could cut his brothers’ hair. Almost three decades later he still works the floor most days, with his crew. The new building was designed from scratch with them in mind.

“You build great relationships in this industry, and seeing them happy with their new color or cut gives a great feeling of satisfaction.”
