[[HIGHLIGHT]]I brought my granddaughter Shannen in for her first salon experience and it was amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lily was wonderful and my granddaughter absolutely loves her haircut. Thank you so much for your professionalism and kindness to my granddaughter. Sincerely Gramma read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]James went above and beyond for me - can't recommend highly enough![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in with a pretty badly botched highlight job from another salon. It required pretty significant corrective work, and James and his team did an absolutely beautiful job and made my hair even more beautiful than I could have hoped. He was meticulous with each strand of my hair and got my highlights and lowlights just right to give me the exact cool blonde I wanted. Excellent skill and thorough work! As if that weren't enough, [[HIGHLIGHT]]James told me he wanted to call the salon I had previously come from to advocate for me to receive a refund for the corrective work (which I was much too shy to even consider asking for), and they agreed to do so thanks to the photo evidence he collected from my hair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On top of that, he offered to share his expertise with the stylist at the other salon to help address some of the technical issues he had seen on my hair. Unbelievably kind, supportive, and above and beyond.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you James!!! Can't wait to come back![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Will be my go to salon from now on! Being from this small town, it's hard to find a trusty salon that has the skill and cadence to bring your vision to life. I've been coming here on and off throughout the years but recently have been coming by more often. Truthfully, I've been hesitant in becoming a regular because the environment isn't exactly what I'm used to as salons were always a bigger/rarer treat for myself and I'm a rather timid, shy person who doesn't make much conversation. Everyone here is very kind and confident and can walk you through what needs to be done to meet your hair goals. They do a very good job at checking in and making sure they understand what you want/are looking for! I highly recommend Lisa! She's very kinda and never fails me me. They also do quality work as my hair looks and feels so good after! The price point truly isn't bad either; I find it on the more affordable price point as far as salons go. I'd definitely recommend and give this place a try! read more

After too many disappointing experiences at budget salons, I decided to try a local spot with a higher price point ($75) and booked a haircut with Lilly, a junior stylist. Lilly was fantastic! I asked for a layered cut with plenty of face-framing pieces, some side bangs, and to keep my length. She absolutely nailed it -- you could tell she's a perfectionist, making sure every detail matched what I wanted. The cut came out better than how I envisioned. I'll definitely be booking with Lilly again next time I need a fresh cut. Parking: Plenty of space in the shared lot. read more

After my initial visit I wasn't satisfied with my color. [[HIGHLIGHT]]James invited me to come in for a consultation. He was very understanding, patient and kind[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and I ended up getting a color correction, conditioning treatment and he cut my bangs . I am most appreciative of the service here and most definitely will return. read more

I've been coming here over a year now and i Absolutley love it, I want from a brunette to a blonde, [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always book with my girl Avery and she is Awesome, i never worry about asking too many questions or being unsure of what i want as she's very helpful and knowledgeable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I especially appreciate the care given to my hair and the guidance on how to keep it healthy while continuing my hair dying process. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff here is very welcoming and it's a lovely environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I come to this place for Tessa, because she knows how to cut mens hair and make it look amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She has a high attention to detail to things like the back of your hair line around your neck and she always gives you a chance to approve the haircut before you leave. This is not a buzz cut like super cuts where they use the clippers only, Tessa identified where my hair grows in a certain way and cuts my hair in a way that flows with the natural growth pattern. A mens haircut is 55 dollars but it includes shampoo and conditioner. I love that they sell obagi and bumble and bumble here too. read more

This place is my go-to, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love getting my hair done by Tessa! She's always friendly, professional, and takes the time to make sure my hair turns out exactly how I want it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She also gives very much needed advice to ensure that my hair stays healthy. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was very professional with the way they greeted me and made sure I was comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lilly was super friendly and listened what you need and gave the perfect layers and made some recommendations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am definitely a fan and will return as a satisfied customer. The place is clean and ambiance is very zen. read more

I have been seeing Lilly at the salon for as long as she has worked there.

Lilly has taken my hair from brown to blonde to red to blonde again and done it perfectly every time. There's nobody else I will trust with my hair now. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent customer service, friendly staff, clean facility.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lisa was so sweet and knowledgeable. She cared and understood the issues with my hair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She gave suggestions. She listened to what I was trying to achieve. She checked with me throughout and did a great job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We went here recommended by my daughters best friend. We came from Colour Barne hair to get a quote from them with the picture she showed and they were going to do it but her friend recommended James Mark. We walked in talk to James himself and showed a picture of what she wanted. Picture is attached. Her natural hair color is dark brown which in the picture that's what the girl has and she wanted the reddish/brown with blonde. James first response was we can do balayage and make it look better spread out the blonde instead of it looking like single strips. She goes in, she says seems he didn't pay attention to what she wanted, he didn't ask to see photo again and proceeds to do blonde balayage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called cause she was upset and crying cause it's not what she wanted so he had us go back next day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This time I came in with her. I sat next to her in salon chair, he asked her what is wrong with the hair. She said well the colors weren't what I wanted it's just blonde and the blonde strip in front looks yellowish. He asked what does he want her to fix? She said can you make the front not look so yellowish and add more blonde to top of back since the reddish/brown was not done. He says no we already did enough blonde I'm not adding more but I can fix the front strips what color do you want it. He has her pick from hair swatches and she picks chestnut. He puts chestnut color front strips, puts the foil leaves to work on someone else and comes back and I said to him, we are going to keep the blonde in the back even though that's not what she originally asked for and just fix the front strip. Figured that was the case since only the front strips had the foil and color. He has his assistant Sadie take her to the back hair wash sink and I'm watching from front and go back to talk to her and I asked her what is she putting on her hair. She said toner to calm the blonde. I said oh ok but we are keeping the blonde correct that's what I told James that we are keeping the blonde in back. She said yes. I go to sit back in front and he must have heard us talking he calls her over upset about something and he's talking to her and she has a very angry look on her face and she says something and drops her arms and shoulder and has a face like she is agitated and that's not what she thought she was doing. I go back again after few minutes see how my daughters doing and I notice the sink and her head is all brown. So I go to the front to Sadie and I said why is her head all brown. She said he said to cover the blonde with Chestnut. I said but I told him we were keeping the blonde and when I talk to you the first time you said you were just putting toner. After they finish and washed her hair and she blow dries her hair, Her hair looks like her original color and clearly I'm upset and I see it in Judy's face she is about to cry because now that she wanted to keep the blonde he colored over it and looks like she didn't even have anything done. He goes back to her and she asked him to cut her hair like in the picture she showed him, like she wanted. She said he said no that wouldn't look right that is too short. So not only did he not do the color right the first time, second time we decided to keep the blonde and he changes the whole head to chestnut, he doesn't do the cut she wanted either. $433 dollars with tip and he didn't do anything we asked, he didn't listen to one word we said. So I get a call from him today 5/12/26 because I emailed him 4/24 and I disputed the cost and we are arguing back and forth. I told him he didn't do the color she wanted in the first place and his response was because that would have cost you more and you already complained about the price. I said I did not complain, I asked what were the charges to make the price that much. Then I said we went back to have you fix it next day and she asked if you can add more blonde to the back because you can barely see it and he refused said no we did enough. So then she asked can you at least fix the front strips so it doesn't look yellow and she picked chestnut to make it darker and told him we are keeping the blonde in back and he colors her whole head chestnut and he says on the phone it wouldn't look right if we just did the front chestnut so I decided to do the whole head chestnut. I said again it's not what you wanted it's what she wanted. Then we proceed to argue about the hair cut. She showed him the cut she wanted and he felt it was too short and it would look like a mullet and she wouldn't like it. I told him he doesn't seem to care what people ask for or listen. If he did the hair cut she wanted and she ended up not liking it then that's her problem, it's not for him to decide about the color or the cut. We pay to have what she wants not what he wants. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bad Customer service by this owner and to argue with me on the phone because I told him he should have done what color and cut she wanted the first time not what he felt would look right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had such a great experience at James Mark Salon! From the moment I walked in, I noticed how clean, organized, and welcoming the space was--it really made me feel comfortable and relaxed right away. James is fantastic--professional, attentive, and clearly very skilled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He took the time to listen to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure I felt confident throughout the process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The final result turned out even better than I expected! It's not always easy to find a place that combines talent with such a well-maintained and pleasant environment, but this salon definitely does. I'll absolutely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for both great service and a spotless, calming atmosphere. read more

Got a great hair cut and highlights with James. My hair was super long (well just past my shoulders, so long for me) and was weighing down my curls. My new fresh cut revived my curls and I love the color! Thanks James! read more

Went in for cut and blow dry with the owner Jams Mark. He gave me to someone else about 1/2 way through and started working on someone else. Didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy, especially for my 1st (and only) time. He did a good job but I was disappointed. Shop needs better customer service read more

Tessa did an amazing job on my hair when others couldn't help me. After being in the hospital and unable to care for my hair I thought there was no hope.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I made an appointment for a highlight because I had colored my hair a month ago and it turned reddish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So I went in and frankly nobody could tell the difference from before to now. I did have it trimmed, mostly to the back and it cost me $320.00! I must say that it looks good and full and I really liked the owner James, but I think for the money, I could probably get it done somewhere cheaper. read more

I've been coming here for a couple years to get highlights and they always do the best job!! I walk in feeling like a 6, and leave feeling like a 9 Averie always does my hair exactly what I ask for and I couldn't ask for a better service. Seriously 10/10 recommend coming here read more

Yesterday was my first visit to JMS but it won't be my last. Lily was my stylist and she did an amazing job. She took her time getting to know what I wanted and feel out my hair before starting to wash and cut. Lily did an excellent job. The salon itself is neat and tidy. Great experience. read more

James replied to my review for which I am grateful. I am a firm believer in second chances, and as stated in my initial review, I have consistently had positive experiences at James Mark. We all have off days, nevertheless I appreciate James' willingness to acknowledge areas for improvement. Perhaps I too am responsible for not mentioning my dissatisfaction in the moment. read more

I was looking for a hair salon that would save my hair and since their reviews were good I decided to try them out. I called before hand, made and appointment and was asked to give an 50% deposit. All this was on their website (which I had already seen) and the receptionist also let me know. I showed up at 9 am and was surprised some clients already had a full head of foils on their heads! Nice to know they open early. I waited a little for my stylist and was thoroughly impressed with her communication and took my feedback so well. She left my hair feeling and looking amazing! Only part that I wasn't my favorite was their lack of transparency on the prices of their products. When I asked how much it was they gave me a rough estimate and when I paid my grand total it was a little bit of a shock when my total was a little higher than I expected. For a haircut, and hair oil I paid $130 (this didn't cover tip). So just be aware that it is a little on the higher side and they do require a deposit if you're a new costumer. I was pleased with my cut but this is full disclosure. read more

Tessa at James Mark Salon is amazing! She gets my color right every single time.She really listens and delivers exactly what I'm hoping for. The salon itself is very clean and has such a great vibe.

Rachel is amazing! She is kind, caring, patient, and really knows her stuff! I went in with patchy salt and pepper hair. I knew I didn't want to start my gray hair Journey all over again, but didn't like the way my hair looked. Rachel did a gray blend with a few brighter pieces to frame my face. I couldn't be happier with the results!! It's still me, only better!! read more

I called the salon to talk to someone regarding my hair mishap at another salon. I spoke to Rachel she was the sweetest. She asked me questions, she asked me if I could come in for a consultation and I said YES! When I came in she was walking out but I didn't realize it was her. I hope I can meet her at my next appointment. She had explained everything to Lily. Lily asked me several questions and we made a plan. She had time to do my hair. She was so sweet, she is also a perfectionist. Love my hair and made my next appointment before I left. Thank you read more

I wish i could of been a good experience but wasn't good, [[HIGHLIGHT]]staff was so nice everyone besides the owner[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], i went to dye my hair purple, before the appointment we agreed on bleach due to my hair being black, but at the appointment there wasn't any bleach i asked and the lady told me that i didn't need bleach because bleach was only for pastel hair, after the appointment my hair was still black, paid 225, we asked if there was anything we could do the owner said i needed bleach and if i wanted to color correct it it would be another 200-300 bucks, promised bleach wasn't getting any bleach, and now they want us to pay more, my uncle asked oh is there anything you could do like if you could do anything because this isn;t what we were expecting or wanted, [[HIGHLIGHT]]owner got defensive then said well i should of got bleach then[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], i was promised bleach but never got any so what do you mean, never got money back, and they didn't even try to help us, he was just aggressive, 225 down the drain for still black hair, but a tiny tiny bit purple in the sun, not anything like the color i wanted, and when i posted it on insta lots of people were telling me to get a refund because it was basically the same, really wish it could of been a better experience, [[HIGHLIGHT]]owner didn't even try to help me, besides told me to pay more money to redo it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], first experience of dying my hair and definitely the worst, [[HIGHLIGHT]]terrible customer service from the owner, but staff was super nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the hair washing thing massage was very nice read more

I have finally found my new hairdresser! James is fantastic! I had my hairdresser before who I was very loyal to. This was prepandemic, so during pandemic he retired from hairdressing. So I was now without a stylist and no one to color my hair or cut it for me. I made due with growing out my hair without color. I looked up Yelp and saw great reviews for this place and so I asked for James specifically. My hair coloring that he did was spot on! I told him to cut my hair and just make it look good, he did exactly that! They have a new loyal client! read more

I have been coming here for a couple of years and I think the last straw was when I had to wait over 20 minutes for a pre booked appointment. It was just really unprofessional that my hairstylist didn't even bother acknowledging me or acknowledge the fact that she was running late. And the sad part was the owner was right there and never bothered calling me back to apologize for the whole situation. read more

On time. Pleasant environment. Professional stylist gave me the exact color snd cut I wanted.

IT WAS HORRIBLE. The person that cut my hair made it look worse that it already was. Do not recommend

My haircut is bad. Gave it a few weeks thinking it will settle. Can't style it as the ends are so badly cut. Also did not get offered a drink like everyone else in the salon. Chose this place at it looked fancy and better than getting your haircut at the back of a nail salon. Big regrets. I had a good amount cut off too. Took me so long to grow it. Now i have to go get my bob re-cut somewhere. so sad. Lisa was nice, and small talk was great. But not a good cut at all. Salon looks great from outside but quite tired on the inside. Also, lady in reception could have been a little nicer. wont go back at all. read more
