I have a been seeing JohnPaul personally to cut, color and style my pixie cut for a while now. He originally chopped my 14+ inches off two years ago, and I have kept my short hair since then. Since first seeing him, I moved to Providence, RI - and I still make regular trips to the salon to see JohnPaul for my cuts. Finding a good short-hair stylist for women is HARD. I tried multiple salons, all over Providence - but realized that no one could hold a candle to JohnPaul. I like to see variety in my cuts, and I want a hairdresser who is willing to take some chances - I don't want to dictate EXACTLY what I want when I sit down in the chair. Further, I want a nice clean cut; I need the hair around my ears actually STYLED and I want a cut that grows out clean. JohnPaul's cuts deliver on all fronts. I would definitely recommend JohnPaul, especially if you have short (pixie) hair! read more

JohnPaul's Spa Salon - I would never trust my pixie cuts to anyone other than JohnPaul. - Hair Salons Near Me - Farmington, Connecticut

I chose this salon out of convenience (close to my office), and because of the reviews here. I'm super low-maintenance, and not really into elaborate cut/color/style haircuts. I've not made appointments with one stylist, as they are all top notch, and every haircut has been perfect. Every time I come here, I leave HAPPY! Again, out of convenience, I went somewhere else closer to home on a weekend, and left in tears. As soon as that awful cut grew out, I went back to Haley, and she fixed it in a jiffy. Perfect, exactly what I wanted. And, she's great to talk to! All the stylists LISTEN, and provide the best cuts that grow out beautifully, and are very personable. Great experience EVERY TIME! THANK YOU, HALEY! YOU ARE THE BEST! read more

I called JohnPaul's three days before I was leaving town to get married. I was in a panic because my previous hairdresser, whom I had pre-paid and booked an appointment with, cancelled my appointment (with no explanation or apology)! I had not had my hair touched in four months, and was in desperate need of a highlight and trim. I called JohnPaul's after I read the positive reviews online. They were able to make a few calls, politely asked another client if she could come a few minutes later, and work me in! John Paul was open, friendly and obviously a master of his trade. Never any of those awkward, what are we supposed to talk about moments that sometimes happen with a new stylist. I had several friends tell me my hair had never looked lovelier! Go see John Paul you will not regret it! read more

Hadn't had my hair cut in a year! Time just got away from me. Nina at JohnPauls was amazing! Totally transformed my tired look to be exactly what I wanted: young and sexy :) Very professional and helpful from the call for an appt to check in and out. And the haircut obviously, top notch. Look forward to being a regular! read more

I loved my entire experience from the front desk ladies to the atmosphere to the conversation with John Paul during my appointment. He even gave suggestions for places to visit while I am in town. The prices were comparable to what I pay in California for similar treatments and better than rates I pay in Las Vegas. John Paul definitely has the experience and knowledge to give you exactly what you want. I would definitely come back if I lived in the area. Great with blonde/highlights. read more

See all

John Paul is a skilled stylist who is also a perfectionist. He listens to client needs and gives each client his full attention.

John Paul's Spa salon is by far the best you can find. I've been coming here for about 12 years and won't go anywhere else. I moved to Florida 2 years ago, have tried multiple salons down there and I ALWAYS need to fly back for them to fix it. Everyone is very professional, and always knows what they are doing. John Paul is a magician himself! I generally tell him what I want and what id like to change and he always figures out a way to give me what I want without me even knowing what I want myself :) stop hesitating and go! read more

Went here after work because I saw that it was right on Rt. 6 and they were able to squeeze me in that afternoon...Wow. It's definitely a little pricey compared to what I'm used to, but, as they say, you get what you pay for. I had my hair cut by Nina, and I was blown away by the level of care and communication, the effortlessness of our conversation, and especially the end result. No one had ever really given me the cut I've wanted, until I finally assumed it wasn't really possible. Turns out I just hadn't gone to JohnPaul's yet. It will be hard for me to go anywhere else now. read more

Great Service! I needed to get in quick before my flight and they were very accomodating! Very professional staff and relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend JohnPaul. read more

About a year or so ago I was looking for a salon and came into John Paul's towards the end of the day after looking for a salon to do my hair. I went to a few others in Farmington that were so unfriendly, but John Paul's was welcoming and professional. I came in as a walk in and I'm a customer for as long as I'm here! Terry is wonderful and really gets to know you and what your style is. She's super friendly and very knowledgeable and also a licensed massage therapist! Can't wait to get my highlights next month! Highly recommend this salon it has a great staff and I've already made referrals to my friends. read more

While many people, particularly women, swear by this place, which is thought to be the creator of the famous West Hartford "Flip", the only time I made an appointment, they overbooked and let me go on my hairy way with not so much as a "sorry". Result is, I'm a convert to Moda Rey in Newington. read more

These people were like my family in West Hartford. They are hard working, down to Earth and totally cool. The haircuts are totally affordable and cutting edge. They have a great student discount. Karen knows hair and is a total sweetie. Also recommended: Juan Carlos, Johnpaul, and Amanda. read more

I love Amanda. I kept convincing her to move with me to California (she could bring her boyfriend). She was way too cool for West Hartford. read more

Great place. Great stylists. Friendly, attentive, experienced and accommodating. So glad I finally found my new Salon!

I came in to the salon totally hopeless my roots were so grown I was wearing hats because I was so embarrassed . Morgan was my stylist , she was so great . She asked me what I had in mind for my hair and I told her I had no clue what to do and asked her what she thought . First she asked me to tell her what I liked about my current color and what I disliked . I was so happy I had never been asked that . I let her know that I loved the lightness but hated the maintenance . She agreed with liking the lightness on me especially because of spring and summer coming around . She gave me a beautiful toned gold brown color that I was very happy with for a really reasonable price . She also let me know I was due for a haircut but didn't push it on me or just start cutting like other places . She did a great job at making me feel welcomed . Everyone inside was very friendly , the salon is clean and decorated well . I will definitely be coming back !! read more

My experience was exactly the same as that of Thomas S. I booked an appointment for later in the day, and was informed a couple hours beforehand that the appointment was no longer available. They seem quite good at taking the reservation, but need practice at holding it. read more

Haley at JohnPaul's is spectacular!! I wasn't happy with my former stylist so made an appointment here on a whim...that was almost a year ago and I've never looked back. Haley does a great job doing exactly what I ask for, has wonderful suggestions and is dedicated to making sure you leave looking perfect and being happy. The salon is beautiful and inviting and the entire team makes you feel welcomed and at home. Definitely the place to go!!! read more

John Paul Spa Salon is the best! I have been going to John Paul for close to 20 years and have always been happy with my cut and color. It looks great when I leave the salon as well as 2 months later. I constantly get compliments on my hair from strangers...would never go anywhere else! read more

I truly love my hair!! John Paul is very talented and I love his work! I wouldn't choose to go anywhere else. He and his staff are down to Earth and welcoming.
