Joseph's Salon is absolutely the best salon in Albuquerque! I had previously resided in Albq & was a client there, and yes I always thought that they did a good job! But after moving to Texas I realized that they are truly the best! They are professional, stylists & up to the minute with the latest fashion! Unfortunately in my case Veronica had to undo a bad haircut many times to make me look good again! Anyone who resides in Albuquerque would be missing out if they overlook Joseph's Salon, you are so lucky to have the best of the best in your backyard! Rosetta read more

Erotica and here sister could not be nicer!!! They make everyone feel like family and at home.

New to town and hadn't had a haircut in nearly 2 years. I saw a few people recommend it online and was hoping for good results. I was surprised I waited about 15 minutes even though I had an appointment. The woman who cut my hair was friendly and nice, but unfortunately lacked skill. She would examine my hair to see if it was even over and over again. She'd say she was done, then notice it was uneven again and cut more. As a result, she kept cutting shorter and shorter and she even made a joke about it. I'm sorry, but it's literally her job to get it the same length. I left not feeling confident that my hair was even and with my hair shorter than I wanted. I think I'll take my chances at Great Clips next time... read more

Won't be going back- I left pretty disappointed. I'd booked a cut and color appointment, only to get there and be told that the stylist "can't do" balayage or ombre (only highlights), they can't do the color I want, AND "you have to book a longer appointment." Which I did...the cut and color appointment. I still got my hair cut because I needed a trim, but honestly, I was in and out in about 15 minutes. No product was used in my hair and no styling was done, but I still paid salon prices. I honestly probably could have done the same job at home, for free, or gone to somewhere like Great Clips and paid a fraction of the price. Pretty bummed, especially since I went on a recommendation. read more

I had a great experience here while in Albuquerque recently. There were four of us ladies in a wedding party, all needing hair and make-up services. I was first up with hair, I believe Veronica was my lady and she was incredibly friendly, even offering to help touch-up my hair later before the wedding if needed since it was a windy day. She gave me a wonderful half up-do with braids after looking at some inspiration photos on Pinterest. I then had Lauren on make-up and she was also very pleasant to work with. She listened, customized my look while also creating cohesion with the other ladies, and got me in and out on time to get to the service. I would go out of my way to go back to Joseph's next time I am in town and needing beauty services. read more

I've been coming to Joseph's Salon for a few years now. Veronica, the owner, is warm, friendly and so fun. She is a talented stylist with an incredible amount of experience. Veronica regularly cuts my son (who is a squirmy toddler) and my husband's hair. The boys always come back from Veronica looking super sharp, never choppy, and as handsome as can be! Amanda does my hair (and now both of my daughters' hair as well). I can't say enough about how lovely Amanda is to work with. She is sweet, easy to talk to, and best yet, she is very talented. Amanda always listens to exactly what I want and is patient in helping me achieve whatever look I'm after. Amanda is kind to my (very picky) girls and always makes them feel at-home, welcomed and comfortable. My girls, who have been known to leave salons in tears because their hair isn't "just right," always leave Amanda smiling and feeling confident. Everyone at this salon is always happy, smiling and having a great time. I love coming to Joseph's and can't imagine giving my business to any other salon. I recommend this salon without reservation. read more

See all

I would not recommend this place at all. I'll make this short and sweet. I have been to a number of salons in Albuquerque, and this one is by far the worst. Veronica cut my hair, and she did not listen to anything I asked her to do. I had to stop her three times during the cut and tell her she was not cutting it short enough, or doing what I asked. She didn't wash my hair, and said she was in a hurry, so she didn't have time. Here's a tip - every client is just as important as any other. If I am paying for the service, I want to feel important to you and important to the salon. They clearly don't understand that concept at Joseph's, and if the lady who cut my hair is the owner there, they won't care about their clients any time soon. Come to find out, she is supposed to be the owner of the salon. I am so disappointed in her, and this salon. The furniture is old and cracked, the place is way outdated, and none of the girls there smiled or seemed like they wanted to be there at all. Veronica proceeded to charge me full price, even though I told her I didn't like the cut, and she didn't wash my hair. I had to go to another place to get my hair fixed. Supercuts would have been better than this terrible salon. The owner should not be cutting hair if she doesn't know what she's doing. I will not be going back. read more

My son got the worst choppy cut ever he didn't let me call he paid 40 for me to go spend another 20 to fix it. My poor son was so upset he will never go there again I wish he could get his money back read more

I had a fantastic cut today with Audrey at Joseph's! So nice to go to Old Town. Great atmosphere and I love to have a stylist who takes time to get to know you and can also focus on what your haircut needs to look like!!!! Thank you Audrey and I will see you again soon! read more

Let me start by saying that the staff is the rudest and most unprofessional staff I have ever run into. I paid for a simple service and was not given even the most common of courtesy's. I scheduled my appointment over a month in advance with the only person in the salon that has any skill at all, only to find out that they booked me with the wrong person. They placed me with the most amateur of stylists, who proceeded to hack my hair to within an inch of its life. I cried at how bad of a job she did and asked to see the owner. The owner (Veronica - I think her name was) didn't even apologize and offered no compensation or help fixing it. I assured them that not only would I never come back, but I would tell all my friends to never come back too. If I were you, I would never go to this salon unless you are really eager to have your hair ruined. NEVER GO TO THIS SALON !! read more

Great place, lots of awesome personalities that work here and really nice products for all kinds of needs. I especially love the davines products that I always get compliments for having a great scent to them. I love catching up with everyone as a long term customer I can say they always provide fantastic service and I always see lots of regulars who share the same opinion. I would highly recommend this place who like to have consistent quality and are looking for a long term relationship with their hairdresser. This is an long established business and full of both experienced experts and new talented professionals who can fit whatever look you're going for I often find myself looking forward to my appointments because my time here is always memorable and fun! Pro-tip: Try their selection of Davines products. read more

I saw the owner. I wanted a pretty easy to accomplish color which I did not get. I wanted ombré and I left with a root touch up and a few hilites. It looked NOTHING like I asked for. The cut was very basic (she took about 20 minutes from start to the end of my blow out) and it is very choppy, not blended at all. It looks like a beauty school haircut. She did not check the cut, blend or texturize my hair.. I will pay a lot of money for a good cut and color but i feel like She charged a lot for what I got. I am having my hair fixed at another salon. The blow out was horrible. My hair was frizzy and looked like I just woke up! She was rushed and did the bare minimum just to get me in and out of her chair. read more

My boyfriend and I both went into Joseph's last week. He got a beard trim and a hair cut while I got a cut and color. I don't usually write reviews but the service was so amazing I couldn't pass up the opportunity to spread the word. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, more inviting and professional. Amanda did my cut and color and was spot on. She listened to everything I asked for and my hair came out amazing. The same went for my boyfriend when she did the cut and beard trim. (Which he is extremely picky). The salon was super clean and in the cutest location. Don't pass up an opportunity to go here. Thanks Amanda and Veronica for such great service! We can't wait to go back! read more

Amanda is the best colorist!! I have been driving from out of town just for her. No other salon has been able to get me the blonde color I wanted with my natural hair being so dark. read more

this place. First time I walked in I was greeted warmly and offered a cup of coffee. I immediately felt at an ease knowing I would have a positive experience here. My hair stylist did not disappoint. She gave me a full consultation and actually listened to exactly what I wanted and then achieved it! I felt feeling like a million bucks and I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend this place the staff is very polite and easy to talk to. It made me feel at home amongst friends unlike many other salons in the area. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Veronica for longer than she'd like me to admit. Now that I have moved to California and have had some really terrible experiences with stylists here, I'd rather fly back to Albuquerque just to have Veronica do my hair. read more

This is a full service Beauty salon for both men and women - the place to go for all your beauty needs. I have been coming here for 15 or 20 years. Who would want to go anywhere else after working with Veronica, Audrey, Annabel and others, always smiling and laughing while doing a great job. If you have a big date, an interview for a job, a night on the town, or just like a standing appointment so you always look your best, Joseph's stylists are good at giving you the look you want. Recently, I watched them work with all the gals in a wedding party who were having snacks and drinks while getting a "do" for the big event. Awesome! read more

Let me start by saying this was my first time and last time I will go to this salon. The salon smelled like sewage it was so strong it was making me sick, the receptionist told me it always smells like that. I was about to leave and the stylist called me back. The stylist there are not experienced with current trends. I ask for balayage highlights they had no idea what I was talking about. This is a technique if the stylist stayed educated on current colors would know how to do!! BTW this is not a new technique I was asking for, its been around for years. Didn't have her touch my hair with color, just had her cut my hair. Walk to the wash bowls leaned back and the ceiling was stained and pieces missing, light bulbs were out in light fixtures. Cutting chairs look like my great grandmothers couch with flower patterns. My haircut was mediocre. This Salon has a very old and rundown feeling to it. read more
