Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value I went here on a whim while in town visiting my parents to fix my brassy hair. Emily surpassed my hopes - she toned my hair so well from an orangey balayage to a gorgeous ashy caramel. I'm so excited with my new look! And I truly think it's the best blowout I've ever had and I've had many : Services: Hairstyling, Hair coloring

Loved it. Clean, courteous and proficient. Also, you don't have to book crazily ahead of time for an appointment. Just a few days in advance for your preferred stylist.

Had a wonderful first visit at James Joseph Salon! Came here for a much needed haircut, Karen greeted me at he front, and walked me back into a sparkling clean chair. She was professional, skilled, and very personable. I felt very cared for, and particularly appreciated the extra time she spend with me during the consult at the beginning of the appointment (My hair came out perfect!). I look forward to returning for my next appointment!
