Had my hair cut by Sarah a few weeks ago and she did great! Everyone in the salon was very friendly and the price for a wash and cut was reasonable. Would definitely go again! read more

I moved to Philly last month, and was terrified of having to trust a stranger with my precious long hair. I asked around and called a dozen different salons, and either the policies/reviews of individual salons seemed sketchy, or the price I was quoted was way out of my budget. I now consider myself very lucky to be living within walking distance of this excellent hair salon. Sara consulted with me in person when I walked in one day, and was able to book an appointment with me for today. I am delighted with the care she took with my hair throughout the whole service. She listened to my input, checked in with me every step of the way, and made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was a true professional, and a great conversationalist. I read other reviews of this establishment that criticized the owner for being anti-Muslim, so I was hesitant to give this place my business, but he did not make any offensive remarks to me while I was there. All in all, it was such a great experience for such a reasonable price that I will be coming back to Sara every time from now on. read more

Usually have my hair cut by Sara who is amazing but today it was Joe Barr. Joe is a master stylist. He doesn't just cut, he sculpts. My fine hair came out looking like a million dollars! thank you! read more

I am the consumer and I wish to counter this Marybeth's comment. If I were able to render a zero star review, I would have. I find it very interesting that when I first telephoned the salon expressing that there was a problem with the job done, I was welcomed to come back to let them correct it and I quote "give us another chance." However, to my chagrin and disappointment, when I arrived to the salon, it was another story. I was "GANGED" up on" and bullied by 3 of the salon operators... all being on the defensive. it was disturbing. Especially, since the courtesy shown to me over the telephone, and the intimidation given to me once I arrived, was a stark contrast! This salon refused to do any correction unless I would pay additionally all over again. I have been coloring my hair for probably 20+ years, and in higher end salons than Hair Jazz, and I have never, ever ever run up against this type of treatment when a correction was in order. Also, I take issue with the UNTRUTHS that I was "abusive". Having a backbone, and knowing the difference between right and wrong, as a result of the bullying, I was 'forced' to defend myself, when I felt that I was being attacked by the gang of 3 operators, against one - me. I would NEVER, ever recommend this salon, and I don't care how long they have been in business. Clearly, they are biased towards their 'regular neighborhood clients', probably the ones who have kept them in business. I cannot be a regular client since I live an hour away. But this is discrimination of sorts. A professional salon should treat each and everyone equally, no matter how often they frequent the business. That is professional. And that's what they are not. In summary, if I were able to render a zero star review, I would have. Bottom line - unless you live around the corner and are a regular, weekly client, I strongly recommend you stay away from this salon. read more

I'm new to the area and was looking for a place that wasn't Supercuts but also took walk ins. I went in and didn't have to wait at all. Can't remember the name of the lady who cut my hair, but she was fantastic! Gave me exactly what I wanted, and she was quick too. In an out in 25 minutes with a great haircut for a little more than $20. If you're in the area and need a cut fast, head here and they'll take care of you! read more

Hair Jazz - Front door - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I haven't gotten my hair done here yet but I booked an appointment for myself and 8 bridesmaids for wedding day hair based on one review I found somewhere out there on the web. This salon is 2 blocks from my house and I walk by it everyday on my way home from work. I decided to stop in one day and ask how they might be able to accomodate me and my 'maids. They were MORE than nice and able to accomodate the 9 of us plus my mom for my "day of" and offer bagels and coffee and said I could even bring mimosas in if I wanted to. Everyone working there seemed young and hip. They gave me a tour of the salon, which, although it is not HUGE, is a pretty good size and was bigger than it seemed from the outside. It was cleaner and cooler than I had expected as well. I am looking forward to getting my hair and makeup done on my wedding day and will be getting a trial done (for a total of about $150 i think?). Also got a discount for having more than 5 bridesmaids. I will update my review after all is said and done). Just to add- the review I had found previously had said this was one of few salons that had actually done their hair like the picture they had brought in- which is an important feature for my 7 of 8 out of town 'maids. Sorry to say that I can't comment on the hair cuts- the service so far seemed great! read more

So, in the interest of full disclosure, Nancy Barr (one of the owners) has been doing my mom's hair since I was about 6. She did my hair until I was about 16 and decided I needed my "own" stylist. Of course, once in college I discovered I could cut my suitemates' hair, so I stopped going to a pro hairdresser about 15 years ago and started doing my own. Last year, I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and have been pretty ill for about 8 months (on the upswing now, baby!) At any rate, I didn't really look in the mirror during the months I was down and out, and once I recovered enough to start working again, I looked in the mirror and discovered my head had been taken over by gray hairs!!!!! Mom stepped in to give me a gift of a pro cut and color. This was a huge move for me-- I always swore I'd never dye or otherwise chemically treat my hair.... But... I did it.... And BOY AM I GLAD :) Nancy and her husband Joe (the owners) are as kind, funny and awesome as I remembered. Brianna (my stylist) was outstanding-- she recognized my discomfort and made me feel completely at home, explaining everything she was doing as she did it. She sought my input on everything from the actual color choices and mixing, and best of all, she jazzed up the style I had created myself and now it actually looks real! As always, my favorite thing is having my hair washed, and Barbara has fantastic, tender hands and never gets water in your ears or down your neck. Crucial, right? Prices are eminently affordable, vegan and other great hair care products (like Sukesha) are available for purchase, and they schedule to your convenience and never rush you along. If you are looking for a reliable, talented stylist, check out Hair Jazz. It's a place that provides the top professional service whle still managing to keep that "Cheers" type of "you're part of the family" atmosphere. read more

I had to mention that Hair Jazz is wonderful. Raina and the shampooer (Stephenie I think!) were just so friendly and welcoming considering I'd never been to this established business before. I was looking for a great haircut and I really got it! Raina styled and curled my hair in a way I could repeat myself - and the $38 price was a really nice surprise. read more

I have been coming to Hair Jazz for the past few years that I've lived in the area. I have gotten haircuts and eyebrow waxes here several times. The facility is clean and the supplies they use are really good. The coconut shampoo they use smells so good! Most importantly the staff is very friendly and talented! Joe and Brianna are the only two who have ever cut my hair and they both do a great job! Joe is the owner and he is multi-talented because he also owns the bike shop next door - Barr's Bikes and Boards. It's always nice to have a bike-related conversation with him! read more

This is the most overdue review ever! I've been coming to Joe Barr owner of Hair Jazz since 2008 when I first moved to Roxborough. Since then I've lived in multiple Philly neighborhoods/burbs, spent 3 years living in California, and now I live in Maryland. Through it all Joe has remained MY stylist. When I lived on the west coast I would make sure that after I booked a plane ticket back to Philly to see family/friend the next phone call was to Hair Jazz for an appointment with Joe. When I had to go to someone else in between trips and they messed up my hair Joe always fixed it. Since '08 I've had all hair styles (short, long, growing out, bangs, layers, blonde, ombré, rose gold) and he nails it every time. he will spend The time talking about what I want before we start and really explains what is the best way to get the result is and he is always honest. The other stylists in his shop are equally talented and he often collaborates with them to make sure each client gets the best result, he gives and asks advice of them and is always wanting to make everyone look their best. He is warm welcoming and funny. There is a reason this salon has been around for 30 years: great hair, current styles and techniques, and hospitality! I always say when it comes to hair #injoebarritrust read more

I was in desperate need of a cut and was looking for somewhere close and found Hair Jazz on yelp. It was only a short drive from my home in East Falls and they were able to fit me in on short notice. The place was unassuming, I would have never noticed it if my GPS hadn't told me where it was. The salon seems a little outdated, definitely a throw back kind of place that hasn't changed much since it opened, the name says it all. But this is definitely a 'don't judge a book by its cover' situation. I got an amazing haircut from the very polite and sweet Connie. While I went in for a trim, Connie took me a bit further and I ended up with shorter hair but in a style that complimented my face. I could tell she had a strong attention to detail as she was meticulous in making sure all my layers were blended together and my long bob was perfectly even. My new cut is bouncy and full of volume and I couldn't be more pleased. Just a tip: They accept credit cards for payment but only accept tips in cash. There is a 7-11 down the street that has an ATM. read more

I cant recommend Cami enough! She spends so long making sure highlights/lowlights aren't too chunky and look natural. She even called when I had to run out before drying it to make sure I liked how my hair had turned out. She's an absolute sweetheart! Prices are way more affordable than any salon I've been before. read more

I've been coming to Hair Jazz since 2011, and have stuck with Brianna as my stylist since 2012... she's awesome! She's cut my hair a few different lengths/styles, and I have ALWAYS been happy with the result. I love how she styles and finishes off my look too. Whether I describe what I'm looking for or bring in photos, Bri helps to consult to ensure she has a clear idea of what I'm envisioning and wanting. Love her! (Doesn't hurt that she's super sociable and fun to work with) read more

I move around a lot due to my job. I have to find a salon everywhere I go & I'm always nervous. I can't always get home to have my long time girl do my hair. I read the reviews and information about the stylist online & decided I'd try it out. It was a nicely decorated salon and very clean. Everyone was so nice & friendly. Brianna colored & cut my hair & did a fabulous job. She made sure to look at my hair to see what my girl from home had been doing and followed it the best she could. My hair looked great! I recommend this salon to anyone looking for a new place to go. read more

I was initially attracted to Hair Jazz because of their reasonable prices. I arrived for a walk in haircut and was greeted right away. Joe offered me coffee and wine and told me all about his shop. He consulted me on what type of cut to get based on some pictures I brought in. He gave a fantastic head massage and probably the best cut I've ever had. Will definitely go back! read more

I have never had a regular hair dresser until I started coming here. Brianna is the bomb! she made great suggestions and I ALWAYS leave happy. read more

Great experience! I had Raina has my stylist. She was awesome. I showed her pictures and she certainly nailed it. Before she did any cutting, she confirmed with me how much she was taking off which was a relief to me because I'm very paranoid about it being too short. She gave me options and told me what would work best with my hair. I'm defiantly going back! Everyone working was super sweet and welcoming too. read more

Hair Jazz is an incredible salon. I only wish I discovered it sooner!!! Their prices are AWESOME. And even better, they are INCREDIBLE stylists. I've only gone for cuts, but I have friends who go to them for color, and they do a great job with both! They always seem to know exactly what I'm asking for with my cut, and they do a fantastic job. Highly recommended!!! read more

Sara is my hair stylist and she is fabulous! I always feel so wonderful when I leave with great cut, color and conversation! The entire staff is friendly and professional, and the prices are great. I would definitely recommend Hair Jazz to anyone looking for a hair stylist/salon. read more

I went to hair jazz salon on Ridge ave in Roxborough today, I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and treated like a priority customer from the moment I walked in. I was lucky enough to be taken care of by the owner Joe Barr. He listened intently to my desires on how I wanted my hair style. it was a very comfortable session everybody was upbeat and positive, it was a very pleasant experience. All the other customers and the staff were very friendly. I highly recommend her jazz and look forward to my next visit. read more

I had decided to try a new hair salon but I really regret getting my hair cut here. Everything felt wrong from the very beginning. I brought photos and the guy (I can't remember his name now) didn't look at them for more than half a second. He barely took the time to glance at the photos or discuss with me what I wanted. His techniques were unusual right off the bat, he seemed very heavy handed like he didn't know proper haircutting techniques but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. I mistakenly trusted that he knew what he was doing. By the end when he turned me around to face the mirror, my heart sank. He had taken my thick, wavy hair and tried to make some sort of long bob which everyone knows is meant for people with straight, fine hair!!! My hair was frizzed out like I had just been standing in humid weather and it looked horrible. I asked him if he could just flat iron it to flatten it down a bit which he painstakingly did but all the while scolded me for having naturally thick hair. It was just awkward and uncomfortable and he also burned my scalp with the iron. Even after flat ironing it to death it still looked like the kind of haircut an 8 year old could have gotten from Supercuts. He had a very poor understanding of my hair type and I get the impression that he believes "one haircut fits all." Now I have to wake up a half hour early every morning to struggle with it and try to make it look somewhat decent. I don't even want to wait for it to grow out so I have already made an appointment with my old hair stylist to have her fix my ugly haircut. read more

I went in to get an overall color to return my hair back to my natural color from dye that had grown out, highlights, and a cut. I wanted to return to the color on my roots. Joe is very rough. He tugs and pulls and works like a mad scientist, but if I was happy with the color, I would grit my teeth and bear it. My hair took the color too dark which was apparent when i got home and it dried naturally. The highlights also looked a little bright. I went back in to get them toned and get the darkness corrected. They were great with being willing to correct, but Joe had a lot of reasons the color had turned out a certain way and did not instill much confidence he would fix it or that anyone could because that's just "how my hair is naturally". I just wanted everything toned over all to correct but now that it's dry, I can see he toned and lightened overall. This is really disappointing to me because the whole point was a low maintenance hair color since my last one was so hard to upkeep. The top is very light and the bottom highlights are very small in my curls so the lower part looks very dark in contrast. I just wish I had understood what he was telling me he was going to do to fix it and that this was going to be the result. read more

This is place has a pleasant neighborhood feel to it. It's friendly. Customers are treated very well. The prices are quite reasonable. The people who work here always do a fantastic job of giving me precisely the sort of hair cut I request. They listen carefully to what I want and check with me regularly to make sure that they are fulfilling my expectations. Highly recommended. read more

Went here on a whim a few weeks ago and wow was I impressed!!! Extremely friendly and talented staff. I arrived about 10 minutes early for my appointment and was taken back to be shampooed almost immediately. My stylist Sarah was great and did an even better job. I will be back soon! read more

I went hear because I was tired of barber hair cuts where you are shorn down and then I look like a 5 year old for a month. So I went it, and a fellow named John cut my hair. When I got home, my wife told me to check out the mirror- I had wings- it looked like a mini-mullet. I guess because it hadn't dried, I didn't notice. I went back, and a woman was friendly and said she would fix it. It still wasn't right- it wasn't blended well. My wife repaired the damage in the bathtub. I also had the pleasure of hearing John talk about all the Muslims causing trouble in Upper Darby. So if you want some ignorant hate-talk and poor haircuts, come on in! Maybe they are great with women, but avoid this place, guys! read more

Hair Jazz is terrific. I haven't looked this good in years. It's a friendly atmosphere with great people and talented stylists. Five stars!

My favorite place to have my hair done! I've been a loyal customer there for over 5 years and I'll never go anywhere else! Brianna is the best and the whole staff is so friendly and incredibly talented. read more

I've been going to Hair Jazz for years- but haven't gotten my haircut in years because of pregnancy then infant and now toddler. Finally was able to break away and get a much needed haircut! I called last minute and they were able to squeeze me in! Joe cut my hair, and did an incredible job! I love my cut! Will continue going to Hair Jazz and recommending everyone else to do the same! read more

Love it here. All the stylist are knowledgeable, talented, and friendly. Family owned and operated for many years. Brianna is my stylist (love her!) Reasonably priced also. Highly recommend :) read more

My family and I have been using Hair Jazz for something like 20 years. We've all gotten haircuts from a variety of stylists there, and all of them have been good. It's sunny, the people are friendly, the prices are reasonable, the shampoos are warm and relaxing, and there's free coffee. What more could you want? Highly recommended. read more

Went here after I saw how great my sister's hair always looked. I was finally done with a stylist who began doing her own thing to MY hair. Natalie took the time to find out what disappointed me with my previous hairdresser and what I was looking for. I was completely impressed and have never been disappointed!! The color is always spot on and the cut is just what I ask for. My daughter had her prom hair and makeup done and looked perfect. All the staff are friendly and pleasant. Would highly recommend without hesitation. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about this salon! I tried it after my salon closed and I couldn't afford the price hike to see my stylist at her new job in Manayunk. Hair Jazz is warm and cute. I was greeted at the door with wine. Everyone was extremely friendly. My hair is thin and fine, very hard to cut but Marybeth gave it life. She did what I wanted, my hair was instantly thick & full. She was helpful when I bought products without being pushy. For only $28 I got the same cut and service I would've gotten in Manayunk for $55. I will be returning! read more

WORST! If you are not interested in a terrible cut and awful color please do not waste your time. The Owner "Joe" is rude and ignorant to customers, told me to get a lawyer and report them (which I would never do) after my hair was unintentionally dyed pink/purple and that I was wasting their time and products after the stylist could not get the color right THREE TIMES...like it was my fault. Terrible customer service, poor management, cheap products and stylists are clearly not not educated for simple cut/color. Worst experience of my life, after paying and tipping for my awful experience I had to pay $200 after that at another salon to get it fixed. I have never written a review before, this was so unprofessional I had to. read more

I've been living in Mt. Airy for 11 years and this is the only place I trust cut my hair the way I like it. The staff is so friendly, highly skilled, artistic and make you feel at home. Natalie is my favorite! Thanks Hair Jazz! read more

I have been going to Hair jazz for 30 years!! There are no salon stylists named JOHN!!!!! The review written by Ryan is BS!! The salon is clean and top notch! I receive compliments all of the time on my hair! I highly recommend Hair Jazz! Joann H read more
