John Jay Salons

I needed to have my hair tamed for a wedding. It's fine and curly, and I usually look like I've been dragged through bushes backwards.Heavenly Beverly tamed the witches' hair, made the curls look healthy and bouncy.She also tamed my tummy with a fizzy drink because I was recovering from food poisoning from the evening before.

I have had good experiences here before, but Shelly brought the average star rating down. She outright did not listed to me when I said I wanted a trim. I told her my wedding was in a few weeks and that I wanted long hair for it and would cut more off after the wedding. She just did not accept this and told me that I would thank her later for the haircut. The haircut isn't bad but is much much shorter than I want it to be for my wedding. I wish she would just have listed to me. Just because certain hair cuts are more in style doesn't mean that my request shouldn't be taken seriously...

This is the only place I trust for my hair. After my fortuitous first time getting placed with Nancy, who I discovered knows the struggle of thick, long, unmanageable hair, I've gone to her ever since!She takes care to make sure it is absolutely perfect, and for the amount of time she spends with me the price is so worth it! She has an excellent judge of how hairstyles will turn out, and even my least favorite cut/color (a little blonder than I wanted) turned out to be my absolute favorite when my hair settled back into its "I never blow dry my hair/always bed head" style and what I thought was too much blonde at first was the best natural looking highlight job I've ever seen and really fits my complexion. Plus, she knows I'm low maintenance so she designed it so when it grows out I don't have to rush in to get it fixed, it looks natural as my roots come in and it's absolutely gorgeous! Nancy is a true artist and I'm so happy to have found her here!Overall the location is clean, cute but trendy, all the ladies are super nice, and those hair massages you get when they wash your hair are 100% worth going in just to get your hair washed haha. Seriously, I wish they could teach my husband to massage scalps like that... Makes me super relaxed and feels super nice+ the combo with the super nice smelling shampoo is just a great experience.

I have long brown hair down to my waist and every year I dread getting my hair cut because stylist charge me an extra $30+ on top of the $50-60 cut so usually getting out $90 lighter and not exactly happy with little things walking out.So before I came, I called and they told me with my long hair it will be $30 starting. So after a few rescheduling issues I was met up with right away with the sweet beloved Nancy. She asked if I wanted to wash my hair and I just went for it because "treat yo self" lol. The lady who washed my hair was the sweetest lady possible. I wish I saw her to leave her a tip before I left. After the washing, Nancy listened to all my needs (the way I want it layered, bangs and how it's parted) and she did an AMAZING JOB!!! In my 27 years living I cannot be more happy with how my hair turned out!! When I was done I went up to the counter and was expecting something way above the $30 but the receptionist charged me on $28!!! I was so happy I tipped Nancy a $10 and will defiantly be back here in 6 months to Treat Myself!!!!

Joni made me feel like a new person!!! What a wonderful salon in my neighborhood! Great precautions being taken(checking temp at entrance, staff and visitors in masks) definitely coming back!

I brought my 18 year old daughter for a haircut. . . not what I remembered. they washed and cut her hair, did not dry her hair and charged an additional $35.00 to dry. the style reminded me of 1980s feathering, I hope it hasn't returned, I just know if you are younger than 60 you might look elsewhere.

I went in with reference photos wanting a natural looking red. Stephanie gave me straight up maroon on my roots and bright orange tips. When I expressed my concern with the color all she did was tell me to wash it a couple times. I can't believe I still had to pay $175 after this. I don't even want to go in public anymore.

First and last time at the uptown salon. I had a picture of what I wanted, knowing it wouldn't be exact, but asked for it to be an inch longer. what I ended up with was two to three inches shorter and not even. So, now I have a butchered hair cut that is too short and can't even go somewhere else to have it fixed as it will only become shorter. By the way, my hair was down below my shoulders. Stay clear, Saturday morning and only about three chairs occupied should have spoken volumes. $68 later and I've no idea what to do with this hair and by the way, my stylist? Liked to take a before and after picture....she took a before and did not take an after....that should tell you something.

Would give zero stars but it's not available. I went to this place and the lady treated me like I had lice (I didn't). She had the washer scrub my head to the point it started hurting. Then when I showed her a picture of me with a haircut I had 4 months prior she told me I don't have hair like that and it won't look like the picture. It was me in the picture... She then started talking about how thin my hair is and saying I'm going to go bald. I have a full head of hair, even if her client is showing signs of going bald you shouldn't make them feel bad about it like she was trying to do. When she was done it looked nothing like I wanted. She was also very weird when I was telling her my profession and acting like I was lying... All around terrible experience. Save yourself from a terrible haircut and DON'T GO HERE.

St. Charles Location: I felt very taken advantage of. I signed up for a $25 haircuts and was offered while I was in the chair if I wanted her to show me how to curl it, after making me feel bad about not styling everyday or using products, and then when I got to the counter and they charged me $77. As we talked about I am a student, you can't just blindly charge people for something I didn't schedule. I will not be coming back because of her and this. I've also never wanted to shower after coming out of a haircut, after I told her I don't use product she used what felt like most of a bottle of mousse. My hair felts so heavy and sticky when I walked outside.
