When I moved from Los Angeles to Cary I was a bit worried about finding a salon that would compare to what I was used to. My friend introduced me to J & F Gemelli and I have been with them since 2013. Fab has the BEST personality! He is always honest with me...if I ask him to do something he knows just isn't going to work he will be straight up with me which I appreciate. The majority of my friends go to Gemilli...we don't all have the same stylist but we all have the same experience which keeps us going back. I always get compliments on my color. It's a wonderful salon with very talented stylists. I'm so thankful my friend introduced me to them many years ago. read more

The girl that you have answering your phone is completely rude. Only ask about getting a product if a product was in stock and could come by and purchase and she indicates that she doesn't know which was Oribe products. She doesn't know that I need to call back in the morning and let someone else help me, really you don't know if something is in stock and have to call back in another day just to know if it's in stock or not and then I asked her if she could just ask someone and she's like no that's not an option. Need better customer service read more

I booked an appointment and mentioned that it would be an overhaul and to book extra time. I got there and the girl got the owner and he starts insulting my hair and me asking me questions like "are you really going to do your hair every day" and "with grow out like this we can tell you don't take care of it". Just insulting a bf cruel. Truth - I've been busy with my kids traveling the country helping my daughter do something awesome so I'm a ball of self neglect. I scheduled this appointment for after her last event for the year to put me back on track. When I said I'm frustrated that they didn't book enough time and that I'm being told all they can do is a touch up today I was told "don't snap at us". I wasn't. This was the second time someone didn't book enough time (albeit in many off and on years). I was then told that they could feel my energy and it comes off at them. Im like, I didn't swear, I wasn't rude, I said I was frustrated. All they did was talk about how customers go off in them all the time and they're not going to take it. I said I work in client services and am a professional and nice person. If I'm frustrated and I express it "I'm frustrated" that isn't a personal attack. If I'm a little cranky or come off that way it isn't personal. Had a "discussion" with kids about laundry on the way over. Thought maybe they'd crack a smile. I was then told that my hostility was being directed at them. It wasn't. I was being really as professional as can be. The girl glared at me the whole time we were talking so I said this isn't going to work. I left and the owner held the door for me. I was not irate, just decided the situation wasn't going to be good match. I turned to speak with him and he shut the door in my face and when I tried to open it to address him he held the handle. I am a professional. I am a mother. I have been going off and on to these people for about 12 years. I swear to God I didn't do anything to them except feel frustrated and communicate this as straightforwardly as possible - after being insulted. I showed up prepared with realistic photos of my own hair and goals. I'm an experienced and flexible client. I have NEVER in my life been treated this badly by any business. I ended up leaving and sat in my car and cried. I was absolutely insulted for not doing what they blocked me from doing today - taking care of myself. To look at me with disgust and ask those questions was appalling. To treat me as unworthy of discussion so much worse. I'm still in the parking lot, reeling from the experience. I'm nice. Like bend over backwards nice to everyone in the service industry. My dog groomer ended up one of my very good friends. I'm pleasant to fast food workers. I value other people and treat them kindly. Again, I'm just sitting here shocked. read more

J & F Gemelli Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I needed my hair cut sooner than expected (starting to look shaggy and front hair falling in my face) so requested an earlier appointment. They were kind enough to fit me but everything went downhill after that. First, my hair has been cut in a wedge for years. It just needed a trim. Instead, she proceeded to cut that back of my hair really short and didn't touch the front or sides, which were what I'd asked to have trimmed. When I asked her to cut those she said okay but she'd have to cut the back even shorter. I declined. Then she spent 20 minutes blow drying my hair into a bob - straight and flat so it looked like a helmet. She also used a very hot settings which is hard on my hair. Even if I had liked the look, I could not maintain it without blow drying my hair every day because it is very curly. That is not something I want or have the time to do. When I mentioned this she told me that I needed to buy a can of $30 mousse to hold it in place. I bought the mousse (total bill close to $100) but am sitting here at work with my hair falling in my face and the sides looking messy because they are too long and curling. Can someone please tell me why hairdressers refuse to listen? This was not the cut I asked for, it's impossible for me to maintain, and it looks awful. Sarah, the hairdresser, did what she wanted to do, not what I asked. I'm very disappointed. read more

Wonderful, Caring, Lovely, Honest, Reliable, Knowledgeable, Consistent, Family Centered These are the words i would use to describe J&F Gemelli as a whole. read more

I absolutely LOVE my hair when #David cuts it and the color I ask for is right on. I leave with a smile each time.

We love David! He's the best. I have a LOT of hair and he always gives me the best cuts in the three years I've been going to him. I've lost track how many times people stop me in public to ask who cuts my hair. My little girls see him and he does the cutest kids' cuts for them as well. Thankful to finally find a stylist that's consistent. He delivers every time! read more

David at J&F is fabulous. Always does a great job with my cut and style. It can sometimes be difficult to get an appointment so plan ahead. Post COVID, staff took great care to make sure I was comfortable returning for that long overdue haircut. I would recommend this salon. read more

Awesome experience during my first visit to the salon! Hunter was great, excellent customer service and wonderful stylists! Friendly staff and very clean salon! read more

My hair cutter said he was cutting hair at this family business without a license. He messed my hair up something fierce. He was asking questions that made me VERY uncomfortable. I asked him to stop. He didn't. I asked to get out of his chair and to stop cutting my hair. He didn't and he snipped as I said I was getting up. Now my hair is uneven. His uncle the owner came barreling over to me as I was expressing concern and threw me out of his salon. Good times. Low class. read more

I love this Salon (@ Lochmere Pavilion) and I love my stylist-David! He is simply amazing. I have been going to him for over a year now and he is simply the best stylist I have ever had. I have thick, coarse, unruly hair and since I have been going to David, my cut and color have been fantastic. I am a middle-aged women and I am often receiving compliments on my hair from everyone-young and old. Today I left the salon and went grocery shopping where someone complimented me on how healthy my hair looked and as well as the cut and color. David is great at what he does and he is a kind, lovely and inspiring person. I am thankful to have found him ;) read more

I've been going here for some time and after each experience, I say I need to find someplace else. However, I'm now ready to find a place that respects their clients and does not make them feel like an inconvenience. I have been told that blow drying my hair is "a workout", when I had just had it cut short. I've repeatedly been shamed for damaged ends, and talked out of the real cut/style that I want. This is a high end salon, but the customer service does not reflect their high prices. I've witnessed the stylists talking negatively about clients to one another opening, for all to hear, which is not a professional environment. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Dishonest, charge different prices client to client. I paid $275 for a Brazilian treatment, saw they charged someone else $175. I was supposed to receive special shampoo and conditioner to maintain the treatment, did not and now something that was supposed to last three to six months is pretty much gone after a month and was told, even though I brought it up after two weeks, they will not fix because by the time THEY addressed it it's been a month. They will not credit me back any money or fix my hair, thieves. BTW, I have been going to this salon for two years, always tip a minimum of 20% and my 'stylist' won't help at all. read more

I debated whether or not I was going to write a review and decided to after 6 months and still looking in the mirror at the atrocious haircut I received from Theresa. I'm one who always had the attitude "it's just hair. It will grow back." For the last 6 months I've had to make an attempt to pull my hair back in some sort of fashion and I'm now able to at least wear it in a ponytail. EVERY SINGLE DAY. I provided a pic (of myself) with the exact hairstyle I wanted. I've attached pic of the chopped up cut I got. You would think it was done with a weed whacker. I had an appointment to have it colored (with a different stylist) about a month after it was chopped up. I cancelled the appointment multiple times (last time being today) because I didn't see a point in having my hair colored if I couldn't even wear it down. Yes, the salon asked if I would like to come in and have another stylist look at my hair but I didn't see the point of it. The only fix would to have taken off more hair. I will say Theresa colored my hair a few months prior to the cut and the color was great. Once again, I'm in search of a salon who can give a great color AND cut. Some may think the 1 star is harsh but when friends, family and co-workers make comments like "it's just hair", "I'm sorry" and "I've NEVER heard you complain about a haircut" I feel justified. read more

J & F Gemelli Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

David did such an amazing job cutting my hair today! He made me look beautiful! I was very pleased with everything! Thank you David!

At first I was excited to discover a Gemelli salon close to my new job and was happy with the hair cuts I received. After going there every 5 weeks or so for a year, it became very clear that color and not haircuts is the focus of the stylist there, if not the entire salon. Every single time I went, the stylist tried to upsell me color services. I realize there's more money in coloring, but I'm happy with what I do myself and never felt a need to buy more. Plus, I tip well. Twenty-five percent is damn good, if you ask me. so why the upsell? I had a couple of haircuts I wasn't thrilled with, but I liked my stylist and I thought we had a good relationship, so I scheduled an appointment six weeks out thinking everyone has off days. Thirty minutes (yes, 30!) before my appointment, she called me to say she was doing a complete recolor on someone and couldn't see me at all, and then asked if I could come in the next week. I could not. Now first of all, I made this appointment six weeks out. When she agreed to this "recolor," she knew she wasn't going to be able to keep my appointment. Secondly, I was going out of town the next morning and really needed a reshaping of the last cut she had done (which wasn't very good), which is why I agreed to see someone else. Who did a horrible job! Just horrible. And yes, she also tried to sell me color. At this point you might be wondering if I actually needed color but maybe don't know it. For my last haircut, I went to a salon that has been voted Best in the Triangle for several years running. One of the first things the owner of the shop said was, "This color really works for you." Not kidding! She knew nothing of my experience at Gemelli's. She did say that the cut I had was consistent, but cut at the wrong angle. I didn't need her to tell me that, though. My hair was so flat you could have ironed a shirt on it. So Gemelli's, you're history. read more

I am in love with my stylist and this salon. David is ahmazing! He has such an eye for what works, what doesn't and what might. The salon is refreshing and very relaxing. David also styles my son's hair and has taught him tons about his ethnic hair. I always felt like the Queen I am when I leave! :-) read more

Used to be a regular client here and at the Stone Creek location. Have had several issues with complacent and quite frankly, snooty stylists who think they have artistic license to do what they want instead of what is asked for. Some people might be ok with that but for those of us who know exactly what they want (even have pictures!), this place is not where you want to go. Recently had a terrible color/cut that ruined my hair and resulted in the master stylist reluctantly recoloring my hair the following day after arguing that I had not been clear enough with her regarding what I wanted. I told her at the end of the cut/color that I wasn't happy with the result but she told me that I'd "learn to love it". Ludicrous. A master stylist should not be charging for a full cut/color/blow dry if they end up handing their client over to an intern to blow dry and style the hair after the cut/color. When I went back to get my hair fixed after the disaster, the stylist was not apologetic in the least and STILL tried to dye my hair a color that I specifically said I didn't want - when I asked her about it she (again reluctantly) changed the color to what I had asked for. I still had someone else wash my hair and only dry a small segment of my hair so I could see the color. They let me walk out of the salon with dripping wet hair and a partial refund. The stylist's apology was through gritted teeth and I received no apology from the manager. No stylist worth their salt should ever let a client walk out with soaking wet hair, let alone should they ever allow a client to leave if they are not 100% satisfied with their cut. I will never go back and the stylist will just have to "learn to love it" too. read more

Very nice salon. Necole is fantastic!!! Very sweet receptionist, Olivia. Always greets with a smile and pleasant personality.

I love this salon. Meagan has been my stylist for almost a year now, and she always does a wonderful job in cutting and styling my hair. She listens to what I want done and works with me so that I always end up with a flattering and stylish haircut that suits my personality. The professionalism of the staff every time I am there impresses me, as does the inviting atmosphere - it is trendy but laid back. I also find the prices to be very reasonable considering the amount of skill that these stylists have. I am very happy to have found this salon. read more

I have been meaning to write this review for a while. I was referred to Vivian by the receptionist . After about 30 min of a haircut evaluation and a very crappy attitude, I decided to go thru with the haircut. I have curly hair and I must admit she did an "ok" job, but I was very uncomfortable with her attitude thru the whole haircut. She was rude and seemed that she didn't even want to spend her time with me. Down right unpleasant person who needs to learn about customer service. Would not recommend anyone to her. The salon however seemed nice. read more
