I wish I could give a good review, but Jon gave me one of the worst coloring jobs in my life. He did the opposite of what I asked for. He must have been having a bad day, too, because he was remarkably rude and bossy. Why I didn't walk out, I don't know. He liked to talk a lot about what a great hairdresser he is, so I guess I was just hoping it was true despite all the red flags. From my unfortunate experience, I would recommend staying away from him if you want to get your hair colored. I'm sorry to give a negative review. I really don't like doing it, but I am being honest. read more

I found my new stylist. Despite having one bad review, I took a chance on Jon as I needed a cut on short notice. I contacted him on the number listed on Yelp! And was surprised when he could get me in almost immediately. Why? It was his birthday and he most graciously offered to cut hair for a new customer. The address was easy to find but his shop is inside Shear Magic so don't look for Jon's name on a sign out front. Simply enter Shear Magic and ask for Jon. Ample parking is available as the salon is located in the New Town area. The shop where several other independent stylists work was clean, modern and everyone was quite friendly. After getting to know me a bit and discussing what I expected in a cut, he set to work and accomplished exactly what I was looking for. No need for adjustments which is great for a first time visit. Jon was very personable and wanted to get to know me as a client. After the cut, I had a shampoo and a rinse for $40. The entire process took nearly 50 minutes. Areas of improvement: Personally, I enjoy a scalp massage, hot towel and hand massages while I get my hair styled but that was not part of this experience. Certainly not a show stopper but that's what I look for in a salon. In short, Whether a local resident or just passing by, if you are looking for a barber or stylist, I would definitely recommend Jon based upon this initial experience. If the shop were easier to find, and if the amenities were better (coffee, tea, flavored water, scalp massage, hot towel, etc.), I would have given 5 stars. He does get extra credit for customer service by cutting hair on his birthday however. Satisfied customer and I will most certainly return for my next cut. read more

Jon's Hair at Shear Magic Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

I hate getting my hair cut. For years I'd cut my own just to avoid the hassle (and it showed). I started going to Jon's on a recommendation from my boss, who was probably also trying to say something about my professional attire, and haven't regretted it since. He is very accommodating to my schedule. Setting up an appointment is as easy as sending him a text asking for a certain day. I don't even bother to tell him what I want, since I'm not really qualified to have an opinion. He's the typically friendly barber type, but since I'm not and more of a sit quietly type, he recognizes that and doesn't pester me constantly. read more

We just moved here and my first haircut with another stylist was rudimentary compared to Jon's experience and skill. I highly recommend him and hope he never moves. read more

I am new in town and was concerned about getting a good haircut. Based on reviews, I made an appointment with Jon who got me in a couple of days later. Jon is a real professional and artist. Takes great pride in his work. Studied my hair for a while and spoke with me in detail re how I wanted it cut. Friendly but not overly talkative which is good for me. The result was very very good. Possibly the best haircut ever. The haircut made me look ten years younger ! Cost was above average, but given the result, well worth it. I was very lucky that my first choice turned out to be "the first choice" read more

This was a unique salon experience. Jon was so focused, friendly and serious about my hair. He listened to every detail. It was exactly what I hoped for. Loved the decor and atmosphere of the salon. Convenient location and plenty of parking. I will be back for Jon to work his hair magic. read more

Great customer service Very professional Great atmosphere Had a great experience with my hair appointment atmosphere is awesome great customer service and he's very funny read more

I have wavy hair and lots of stylists don't know how to cut it very well. But with Jon, my very first haircut was fantastic. He took the time to listen to what I wanted and get a sense of my hair's texture. The cut was lovely and is growing out even better. For the first time in a long time, I don't have to straighten or blow dry my bangs--they just fall beautifully on their own. And, he's just a really nice human being. Thank you! read more

About 10 minutes in the chair for 40$ including tip and he never once asked if I liked the cut or if I wanted to change anything after he was done. Super choppy work and although he is a nice guy I would highly recommend students go somewhere cheaper because you'll get the same quality. read more

I've lived in Williamsburg for over five years and have been searching for a stylist who could give me the "big" hair I wanted. I do not give them much to work with as I have very fine and thin hair. Jon was finishing up with a client who left the salon with a big hair style and I was encouraged. He listened to what I wanted, was a pleasure to talk to and I left with a hairstyle I could go out with! I usually end up having to go home immediately after my cut to poof it up. The salon itself is in a great location and has a nice feel about it! Give it a try! read more

I'm always happy with the results from Jon. And it's good to catch up on news. It's a social occasion as much as it is a haircut. Discuss what you want with him - he's not a mind reader- and you should be happy with your haircut. read more
