    Right after getting a cut with Bangs ans full color.
    Sheyanna D.

    I'm getting married on Saturday and needed a cut and color for a whole new look. I've used box color for years on my hair and had a ton of split ends. It was no problem for him to color it and make it look healthy again! Jacob did an absolutely amazing job! I rarely go to salons because I've had so many bad experiences, but I'll happily go back to him for any of my hair needs. He was so sweet and helpful with the whole process and it a great price! 10/10 would recommend

    This review is late due to the fact that I could not organize it in my head correctly. I don't know where to start but here it is. First off - I CRY for you Texans for losing this guy! Jacob! Thank you SO MUCH for an ah may zing (sorry for the spelling but I do NOT want this review to get weeded out by Yelp) evening! Ladies and gents, this guy is running a GREAT first time customer deal (call him for details)! What I got done: Brazilian Blowout Black/Blue dye all over Purple Ombre Cut Everything took about 3 hours. Jacob is so knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does! He dyed and did the brazilian with his BARE hands!.. talk about being serious about his work! He gave me great advice on styles - what would fit for my face etc. The color came out great! I can really go on and on... HA! Also, his suite is decorated SO nicely! Jacob took the time to clean and put things away any time he had a chance. I walked out of his suite with a boost of confidence and awe some hair! I welcome you to Placentia, Jacob!!

    Another Amazing Haircut by Jacob. Thank you again!

    Jacob James Salon is the best. I've been with him for years!!!! My wife and I found him about 10 years ago. He right away he was able to master my hair as my wife's. Apparently I have difficult have to cut. That became very obvious when I had to have other people cut my hair when Jacob relocated for a couple of years. I went through 4 different hair stylists. I can't even count how many people my wife went through (she's super picky). When Jacob came back we immediately switched back to him. If you are looking for a talented stylist who can handle any type of hair, color, trim...or whatever you require, You need to see Jacob

    This man is a genius. I've never been let down by his amazing cuts and color!!! And to top it off, he's a wonderful human with a huge heart who wants to help your outside match your killer inside! You'll never be let down with Jacob!

    I needed a haircut badly and found Jacob last minute through yelp. I called him the night before and scored an appointment for the next morning. Jacob was very easy going and friendly. I showed him photos of the haircut I had in mind and he was done within the hour. He also helped me style my hair a bit knowing that I had a dinner event that night. The decor was also very much to my taste level. It's got a hip barber vibe with a bit of a Gothic romance feel. Overall it was a pleasant experience and would definitely go back again.

    Color after one wash and curling.

    Definitely worth it to get your hair done my Jacob. He will spend the time to get your hair right so you will go home happy. He has extensive knowledge in the field and if a new product doesn't work (Paul Mitchell's new Color XG line sucked) he'll go through lengths to try to fix it. It's an intimate experience because it is only the two of you in the booth, and he's very easy to talk to. Keep in mind that he is the only one working though so be on time and schedule online if you can.

    After!!!!!!!!

    Let me start off by saying, thank you Jacob . I love my hair so much it feels so new and amazing and it looks so pretty and fresh. It literally put a pep in my step. I was down in the dumps because I didn't know what to do with my frizzy multi shade hair, and then I found Jacob James on yelp and it was all over from there. I'm ecstatic with the way my hair came out and I am nothing less than thankful. I have finally found the one!!! Hair stylist that Is :D. He has great honest conversation with you and he's truly one of the most passionate and intelligent people I've ever spoken too . This was my first visit I got the Brazilian blow out and an all over color and cut and I will continue to go to him for as long as I can. I'm so happy with my hair I can't stop touching it!!! Thank you thank thank you!

    Ladies I had the best time with Jacob. He's is a total find. I would highly recommend him to everyone, accept maybe to my family. Haha. I have to keep some things to myself. I recommend you dump that same old tiring never does anything new to your hair stylist. You want something new, fresh, beautiful, go check out Jacob. He will not disappoint! I LOVE my hair!

    Yaasssss

    I had the most wonderful experience getting my haircut from jacob! He did such an amazing job maintaining a good length while cutting off the dead ends. He also used a hair treatment on my crazy unmanageable hair that tamed the s*** out of it. I can't stop touching it. Obsessedddddd. Thanks jacob!!

    Cool cozy space!

    I texted Jacob last minute when I couldn't get into my regular hairdresser. Luckily he had an opening and was able to take me that same day. He spent way more time than my old hairdresser in ensuring all of my gray roots were covered. It's the best root touch up I've ever had and Jacob even put leave in conditioner in my hair that has left my hair softer and silkier than it has ever been. My husband can't stop touching it, and isn't that the point after all ;) from now on I'm only going to see Jacob. He's both sweet and a master at what he does!

    Jacob is AMAZING! I found him while doing a frantic last-minute search for my unexpected wedding day. He was able to squeeze me in and did an awesome job. 2 weeks later I made an appointment to cut my hair. Jacob did exactly what I asked for. He trimmed my nasty ends and cut my layers to the exact length I wanted. He paid attention to me when I told him my hair is naturally curly and asked him not to cut my bangs too short. Along with his excellent skills, sitting in his chair is like catching up with an old friend. He's so chill and funny, I was instantly at ease and comfortable with him. I would totally recommended Jacob to anyone! Heads up though, he told me he is now by referral only! The photo is my hair with some Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum in it to weigh down my curls.. my cut is great- I can wear is my natural super curly, loose waves like shown, or straight and it looks good all 3 ways! Thanks Jacob!

    I've done it all with Jacob, from dark brunette to now blonde and even my prom hair! He can literally do it all!!

    I've done it all with Jacob, from dark brunette to now blonde! He even did my prom hair! He can literally do it all! He has so much knowledge of all things hair and beauty that I know I'll be pleased and feel beautiful every time I walk out of his salon. And if you're not pleased, he is always more than willing to have you come back and give you exactly what you asked for. I highly recommend this talented, handsome man. I assume you, you will not be disappointed!

    Love my color and cut, it is exactly what I wanted

    See all
