I tend to be very nervous in new situations but walking in Frank greeted me and I truthfully felt like I had been there a million times before. I went in for a trim, just to get the dead ends off, usually you tell a stylist this and they take a few inches off, true to what I asked for he trimmed just the dead ends and gave me a new shape. Over all I would highly recommend this salon, it's small, quiet, and very welcoming! I will be returning next time I need a cut!

If you choose to get your hair done here, go to Pedro. Pedro is sweet, and does not talk down to his clients.

While I was in the salon with two other customers, the stylist, and Joao (the owner), he decided it would be appropriate to scold the stylist for accepting a walk in haircut appointment 30 minutes before she had a scheduled appointment with someone else. Like, do you not want business, Joao? Would you prefer the stylist not care about customers and rudely turn her away for no reason? The stylist apologized for the delay, and the other customer was totally fine with it. No one was upset, except Joao. He continued berating her unnecessarily, making the situation much more dramatic than it should have been, until she broke down in tears and explained to him that she felt really humiliated by the way he was talking to her (which just seemed to fuel him further, he just kept going). It was such an awkward situation, and so so surreal. It was like he didn't care that there were 3 paying customers in the room who didn't really want to watch him making a talented hair stylist who was doing nothing wrong cry...actually, I think he even liked it! He was smiling; it was very disturbing. Really, there are so many good salons in Boston. Salons that will at least offer you some tea or coffee while you wait for your $65-80 haircut. And you can drink that tea or coffee in an actual waiting room! Salon JLS is a no-frills, unclassy salon with no waiting area that charges the same as a nice salon that DOES have the frills. It doesn't even feel like pampering at Salon JLS; not worth it! *especially when they don't take responsibility for their actions. Don't you want to go to a nice salon where they treat everyone with respect and say sorry when they mess up? Just saying.

I originally requested a Friday appointment and was told the salon would be closed that day, so I rearranged my schedule, extended my trip, and agreed to come on Saturday instead. I traveled from NYC for this appointment, adjusted important personal and work commitments, and made the effort to be there on time; only to arrive and find the salon completely closed, with absolutely no call, text, email, or any attempt to notify me. To make matters worse, I had received an appointment reminder email the day before, which confirmed to me that my appointment was still happening. Afterward, I discovered through Instagram that they were on vacation. Let that sink in: appointments were still on their calendar and being confirmed while the business was apparently away, and clients were not properly notified. The deposit is one thing, but what bothered me most was the complete lack of respect for my time, travel, planning, and professionalism. I had to rearrange my entire weekend right before a work trip to make this appointment happen. To his credit, the owner eventually apologized and offered to refund my deposit, but a refund does not undo the time, money, and inconvenience this caused. If you value professionalism, communication, and respect for your time; please be aware of my experience.

It did not turn out well, so I decided to get it done here by Rogue. She was so incredibly kind and easy to work with throughout the entire visit, and I got the blue color I wanted! I really appreciated her flexibility and patience with all of my questions and requests regarding how I wanted my hair to look. She also gave me tons of advice for how to maintain the color for longer so that I wouldn't have to get it redone very often. I got my hair colored a few weeks back, and the color is still vibrant, and I always get compliments on it! If you're planning on coloring your hair, then I seriously recommend Rogue; I will definitely be going back to her in the future.

I called to book my appointment, and explain that i am ready to start blending my grey with my brown hair. I even explained on the phone what I wanted while looking at my reference photos and that I've had to dye my hair at home due to being new to Boston and not having hairstylist yet. I was assured this would not be an issue. Spoiler alert, it was an issue. My hair stylist Angela isn't even listed in the reviews or on the website, so either she is super new, or she does such bad job constantly that they remove all her reviews. I was also told that 1 person just quit and another is on vacation for the rest of the month so you can tell the remaining 2 stylists are stressed. My appointment was at 3, and I wasn't seen until 3:30 because there are only 2 stylists working there and they are crazy short staffed. I showed Angela the reference pictures I described on the phone, and she's like "I don't do that type of color, but I can do something to blend ". Then she kept on telling me I had a lot of banding, I agreed but since I clearly told them that I had to dye my hair at home a few times when I booked the appointment I figured she knew this ahead of time and had a plan. Well $315 before tip later (they didn't even charge me for the full services since I think she realized how messed up this is) , I have the chunkiest highlights I have seen since the mid 2000's . The sad part is that the whole time Angela was hyping me up and telling me it looked good, so maybe she thinks this is good work? I also had to leave the salon with my hair wet because they didn't have time to blow dry, but I think it was so I couldn't see how bad the whole head looked.
