Terrible customer service. Got yelled at for sitting in a hair dryer seat that is in the seating area and was unoccupied. My husband got his hair cut and he asked for a very easy haircut, and it looks like crap. His cowl lick is stickup, his neck is still hair, etc. just a real disappointment. Expensive to boot. read more

I went in looking to have my hair done after a style popular in the 50s that included victory rolls . They did an excellent job with that I didn't like the fact that they drowned me I hairspray. The staff was really rude and they all had sticks up their asses. I would not recommend this place, perhaps after they change their staff. There are a lot of other salons that are a lot better than this place. read more

I have never been loyal to a stylist. In fact, I don't think that I have even been to the same one twice. Ever. My mom has had the same stylist for 20+ years, and I just never saw the point... until I met Linda K. at Judy Jetson. In fact, I even return from New York just to get a cut by Linda. She is fantastic. I first went to Judy Jetson because it was convenient, and Linda came highly recommended from a friend. I have super thick hair with quite a bit of body (not curly... wavy, perhaps?). My hair was mid-back length, and I wanted it to be about shoulder length, perhaps a bit longer. She did a fantastic job! I loved the cut, and it was super touchable. Linda also has outstanding "chairside" manner. Her banter is fun and seems personal. Folks around her seem to like her, too - someone often stops by to update her on something. read more

3 words: overpriced, rude, and snotty. My touch-up hair color was okay. I guess the guy (forgot his name--- or erased it from my memory) did a decent job but not for the price I was charged. It was ridiculously expensive for a touch up color with no blow dry. The people at the front desk are snotty and just plain rude. I'm not looking for a committed relationship with any of these people... I just think that if you are in the service industry you should at least smile at the people you plan on taking large amounts of money from. If you want a great service at a great price with a friendly staff, you will have to go elsewhere. read more

I feel like such a horrible Yelper! How have I not reviewed JJ, yet? I love Judy Jetson. I came here after my SO visited and highly recommended Katie. Since I was in need of a more local place to get my "hair did", I followed suit... I have been going to JJ and seeing Katie since 2011. First, JJ is a super hilarious place to go. Very trendy and Hip... complete with vintage hair stylist art on the wall, its kind of awesome in a "Donna Reed meets, hipster, meets neon lights...." sort of way. Judy, the owner, is a rather amusing woman. She clearly is very proud of her shop, and more importantly is VERY involved in her shop, and the community she works in. I have to give her exceptional kudos. Katie... oh, my Katie. I adore her. She has become a fast friend, and really getting my haircut is a fun morning for me. I feel like I'm some gushing 60's wife when I am in her chair, but I DON'T CARE! :-) She knows my hair, she knows what I like, and has taken the time and patience to help me change my style over the last few years. If you have the chance to go, and are able to book during their Halloween Party... DO IT. Halloween is a huge deal for everyone in the shop. Everyone gets dressed up, its hilarious. My SO and I have referred a number of friends to go see Katie. In fact, we even decide to make a weekend morning of it and all 6 of us booked back-to-back appointments... so we showed up en force, with "adult breakfast beverages" and had a blast. Pricing is on point with what I would expect from a salon, not a barber. But you get, in my opinion, what you pay for--- and at JJ, its worth it! They take major credit cards (sorry no Amex) for everything, with exception of tip. (which, frankly is good since it doesn't have the processing fee cut into your tip). read more

Very cool atmosphere and friendly staff. I couldn't believe it when I was informed that this place had been there for 20 years. To sum it up, the people who work there know what they're doing and are very creative and talented. And, compared to other salons in the area, I didn't think they were really over-priced. read more

UPDATE: Awww, my favorite stylist Tracy left!!! Damn! If you're looking for her she moved to Salon Luna in Porter Square, where I shall indeed be following her... ************************************************************************** i completely love Judy Jetson. I've been going there since last July to get my hair cut, after it was recommended to me by two friends. Tracy cuts my hair and she rocks-- she has been able to give me the haircut that my previous stylist could not understand, and it always comes out soooo cute. Danielle cuts my husband's hair and does an amazing job too. Plus it's just so fun to go there-- the interior is so cute and glam and everyone seems to be having fun. Cut and tip comes to just under $60, which yeah, is a smidge pricey, but it is COMPLETELY worth it. Each time I come to JJ I walk out feeling like a total rock star! How can you beat that? read more

I went into JJ's with a bit of a mullet - the remnants of a very bad cut from very long ago. Linda K. fixed it without a problem, and now I'm back in the realm of the hip and presentable. It's great to feel confident. She was friendly and a great stylist! Therefore, for haircuts = ace. There was a bit of confusion from the admin side, though, when I booked my appointment. I explained the hair situation I was having (horrible mullet, must destroy) and that I kind of preferred earlier to later. The girl on the phone seemed a bit overwhelmed by other calls, people talking, etc, so I ended up having to talk to someone else, who booked me in without a problem. Just a small hitch though - everyone was really polite, and the girl even apologized for the somewhat chaotic call. Will definitely return. read more

I have had a lot of bad haircuts. But never from this place. I've put my wavy and unruly hair through nearly every incarnation short of that unflattering asymmetrical buzz cut mullet-y thing going on right now. Oh, and feathers...never with the feathers. But - long or short. Pixie, bob, shag, and now long and layered...the end result is almost always exactly what I wanted. I miss Ace terribly, but Alana knows how to cut my hair in a way that works for it's texture and temper (and when I said "hey, I kind of really want Victoria's Secret model hair", that's what I got. Win) . She's also a master at the shampoo/scalp massage. I'd trade one of my limbs to have one every day. My most recent cut is the hottest hair I've sported in my 28 years and my experience with Alana was 5 stars for sure. My only reason for 4 stars instead of five, is that the reception tends to be a little hot or cold... ...Hipsters... ;) read more

I've just returned home from my second haircut with Danielle, and my third time at Judy Jetson. I went there for the first time in December, upon referral from a coworker. I told Danielle exactly what I wanted, and had pictures of what I had done previously and we discussed what it was I didn't like about it. I was somewhat demanding in my wishes (without being rude).She spent a more than adequate amount of time, getting it just right. It wasn't styled exactly the same as I would do at home but it was anough to see the cut and style were dead on. It was literally the best haircut I have ever had. In my life. Last week she was on vacation. I went in to get a trim since it had grown quite a bit since December. I communicated my wishes to the Hairdresser (not Danielle), who gave me a wonderful shampoo/scalp massage, and did the best they could on my hair, explaining I had a week to come back if I was unsatisfied and getting home and trying to style it myself. And the haircut was pretty good, just not exactly what I had hoped for. When I called up later in the week and spoke with the associate about it, she was very understanding and spoke with Judy about it, who I have never met. Judy passed along her apology for the inconvenience (which was hardly neccessary since they let you come back and have adjustments made). She also offered to do my hair herself, which I thought was very nice of her. But my feeling was, if I wanted the same haircut I got from Danielle, that I loved so much, I should just go to Danielle. So I insisted on having her work on my hair. And I have to say, after just returning home and styling it myself again, I love it as much as I loved it the first time she cut my hair. She knows her stuff. And she's damn good at it. And she saw me on what I consider to be pretty short notice, after just returning from vacation. In summary, I have been to Judy Jetson's 3 times, and each time I've been there they treated me kindly, professionally and really made sure I was I was satisfied. I know there are some less than stellar reviews out there about hem, but I can't help to think that maybe the problem was the customer's inability to communicate their wishes. These people are awesome. read more

I've been to Judy Jetson quite a few times and even though the work was inconsistent I felt compelled to stay loyal. My favorite stylist there is Linda C. and although she takes a long time to cut (as another yelper pointed out) she does a fantastic job. She gave me a cut that was really funky and not that hard to recreate on my own. She is also hilarious and will keep you entertained. So my advice is, if you go here, see her or get a personal recommendation from someone about another stylist.. In other trips to the salon I've had really inconsistent service (with other stylists) -- like not getting a smock put on me/leaving without a blow dry (?!). This is one of those places where if you aren't getting the service you want, you should try to be assertive. Leaving without a blow dry is pretty ridiculous. read more

I went to Judy Jetson's for the first time today and wasn't sure what to expect. I'd always thought it was too tragically hip for barely bohemian me, but my friend convinced me that I should try it. While everyone working there was incredibly cool, they also seemed very warm and friendly. I saw a real mix of clientele there which I found immediately encouraging. My stylist was Derrick, and he was super sweet. Very friendly, really listened to what I wanted, but made suggestions to steer me in the right direction. I came away with exactly the look I wanted and I feel great. I always feel like it's kind of worthless to rate salon's when the real rating should go for the stylist, but in any case I give Derrick five stars. read more

My hair is pretty curly/wild so I'm usually very apprehensive to go to a new salon to have it cut. I just moved up to Boston from Florida, though, and had no choice but to go somewhere new. I read the reviews on yelp and decided to give it a try. Fortunately - I was not disappointed. Ilana cut my hair and she did a great job! She gave me a fresh, summer cut that I'm so happy with. She knows how to cut curly hair and I definitely plan on returning in a few weeks to get another cut. Salon's really cute and everyone was super friendly, too. read more

I can't say enough good things about Jenn. Jenn has been cutting my short, very thick hair for about a year now. I've gone through multiple different styles and am now in the process of growing it out. All of Jenn's haircuts have looked amazing from the day I walk out of the salon to the day I walk back in for a trim, which is definitely no small feat! Jenn is also incredibly awesome, super funny, very sweet, and makes great conversation. She remembers me every time and knows exactly how I like to style my hair. I tend to like things pretty messy, so she'll often style it twice for me - one clean one that she thinks looks good, and then one messy bedhead one which is how I'll probably be wearing it. My only regret with growing my hair out is that now I'll see her less often. read more

I went in to see Cate with a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like. My hair had many different colors and tones from old hair dye. She came up with a game plan and even tho some the old colors made it difficult to get my desired looked she was able to come up with something even better. The staff were extremely friendly, salon is clean and has an amazingly cool set up. Thank you sooooo much! I've gotten so many compliments on the color and cut! read more

Listen, I hate my hair- well I hate my hair in New England anyway. It's curly and the humidity here kills it BUT the stylists at Judy Jetsons are somehow able to tame my unruly curls into some semblance of do that doesn't make me look like I just came out of a wind tunnel! They actually have stylists who specialize in different types of hair and are really good at doing the "boy" cut on girls. Plus the place is just cool- the decor is young and hip and makes you feel like you're in LA, sort of : ) The prices are way cheaper then anywhere on Newbury and the cuts are just as good. I reccomend to anyone but especially to lesbians seeking the "non-femme" cut! read more

After the worst haircut I've ever received went down at Mizu I tried to live with it for a few weeks. Finally I just couldn't take it and made an appointment at Judy Jetson (on my birthday no less!) to get this hot mess fixed. I was scheduled with Danielle and she was great. I explained how I'd been butchered, where it had grown out at that point, and what I'd like it to look like. She fixed every mistake and really listened to what I said. My hair looks like a zillion bucks now, completely healthy with great movement. Danielle was such an awesome person to sit with and chat with too. I would go back any time. My only regret is that I didn't go and get it fixed sooner! Also, price? Is SO REASONABLE. $48 for a cut and dry. That's downright cheap to me for the quality and care I received. read more

I always feel like an idiot when I go get my haircut, especially at places where the stylists...all have style lol So when I walked in today, my stomach got butterflies and I automatically thought...oh oh...here we go...I'm going to have to tell someone that obviously knows what they are doing how to do their job...but every stylist I talk to says that this is crucial for them to give the customer what they want...so I stumbled through the explanation, and Ace, the stylist who I ended up with, was understanding and explained what he was planning on doing so I could get what I want...which was to fix the mess that the previous two haircuts had accomplished. I went to two different places, one 2 months ago, and one 3 days ago, and told each hair cutter what I wanted...and though what I wanted was simple...trim, even hair cut (i like to rock my hair bone straight on occasion, and when you have a bad haircut, it comes through with shining colors with bone straight hair) they both managed to let me walk out with uneven, choppy hair. Yes I could've gone back and had the person fix it, but to me, going a second time to someone who screwed up the first time is just asking for it...so I took the loss, and made an appointment at Judy Jetson's, which came highly recommended by my cousin, who has hair very similar to mine. Ace took his time and did his thing...and being the obsessive person I am, once I got home, I spent about 15 minutes looking at my hair from every angle, and guess what...he did exactly what I asked, and even though I just got a trim 3 days ago, my hair looks healthier now, after he cut it, then it did a mere 3 days ago. I plan on being a regular at this place, the price is right for the services they offer, and the quality is top notch. I recommend this place to anyone. Though all i got was a cut, blow dry and flat iron, they do colors, perms, and probably everything under the sun... Not to mention the cool decor of the place. I'm sold. read more

Since moving to Boston from the Midwest, I've had a number of stylists tell me my hair is difficult to cut. It's blonde. It's fine. There's a lot of it. It's slippery. It shows every mistake. It's not something I thought much about before because girls like me are dime a dozen back home -- I'm Scandinavian. When I do find a stylist who can wrangle it I feel obligated to share in case there are others like me, scouring the reviews and trying to figure out who to see. I made a walk in appointment with Maureen, and she was great! My hair is currently in a weird, inverted bob grow-out phase. I also had a bit of difficulty articulating where I wanted to see it go, and what should be done today to get it there. We had a conversation and she must have excellent client interpretation skills, because it turned out exactly as I hoped. Given all these things, I'd say that Maureen is patient, a good listener, and obviously skilled in her craft. Whew! If this sounds like your head of hair at all, go see her. Oh, and she didn't force introverted me to turn into an awkward chatterbox for an hour, so bonus points for that. The staff was also cheery and professional; great experience overall. read more

EDIT: Danielle is back - she alone bumps this review up from 2 to 4 stars. This place is just fine - not great, not awful, and seems really hit-or-miss depending on who's doing your hair. I used to go to Danielle - she gave me wonderful, seemingly inspired haircuts, and just seemed to be a good-hearted, laid-back person to boot. I miss Danielle, and even entertained the idea of driving up to her new spot in NH to get a haircut - I know from Yelp that other former clients of her have do this! Next I had someone - don't remember the name - who gave me an okay haircut but she went a little crazy with the straight razor and so it grew out a bit haggard. And I didn't like her not-funny jokes and dirty double entendres followed by pseudo-shocked "did I say that?!" looks - not at all interesting, novel, or entertaining. At least I learned what happened to all the drama geeks I knew in high school. Lastly, I've been seeing Carmi, who gets a solid 3 stars from me. She's not adventurous or imaginative, and really just plays it safe - there's no spark or scrutiny when she's looking at your hair. But she will give you an even, serviceable haircut that will grow out fine until your next haircut. Lots of people have jobs that are, well, just jobs to them, and for her, hairstyling seems to be just a job - can't blame her for that. I think I'm just about done with this place. I used to go to Megan at Escape in the South End, but the trek from where I live (long walk, T, then transfer or bus) makes it a three hour affair just to get a haircut. However, I've had no luck this side of the Charles since Danielle left, so will probably go and check her out at Revive, the salon she just opened up. read more

I had not had my haircut is six+ years before going to Judy Jetsons to have Linda cut my hair. I had long, curly dreads and I was nervous about letting them go. Linda was really wonderful. She was gentle about the entire process and I totally trusted her to do the job. It was a bit a of mystery how much untangled hair I would have. There was quite a bit and Linda gave me a super handsome hair cut. The place had a nice vibe; it was super clean and very well decorated. I'm sure they're all good but I can only highly recommend Linda. I definitely will return all though its a little pricey for my grad school, living-on-loans budget. read more

I've been here twice and have been very satisfied with the cut both times. I don't really believe in paying $50+ for a haircut, but if I did, I would come here more often. The advantage of going to a more expensive salon is that you can really give the stylist flexibility to do what she feels is right based on the texture of your hair. At discount salons, I feel like I have to give very specific instructions about what I want (even though I'm not that particular) or else I am gambling with my hair. When I come here, I can just say a little bit about what I'm looking for and expect a great cut. I appreciate that they really take their time. Also, both times my hair has grown out really well and continued to have that "freshly cut" look for a while, which is an added bonus. I agree with other reviews that it's not the most doting/cushy salon out there. However, if that kind of thing tends to make you uncomfortable, then this is the place for you. read more

Between a good bit of research on Yelp, a little outreach to Judy Jetson's, and taking a chance, I ended up with an appointment with Katie, mostly because I was looking for a salon haircut for under $50 pre-tip. Note that I'm used to haircuts from a skilled fellow, which I think his prices demonstrate -- I had to give him up when his men's haircut jumped to $70. I was going in to Judy Jetson with an overgrown mop of Justin-Bieber-ness (which was originally Josh-Hartnett-in-Pearl-Harbor-ness), and wanted to cut it back to just a few inches long. I brought in a photo of what I was going for, Katie helped me think through how to adapt that style for the nature of my hair, and then executed it flawlessly, including cut, texture, and selection of hair product. (In the past, I've used wax, mousse, clay, spray, and "stucco". I now have paste. Okay.) I am blissfully happy with the new 'do, and will surely be keeping it and Katie both. read more

Judy is great. She took over my first hair experience there by directing my stylist on how to get the perfect blond highlight, and even cut my hair. Unfortunately, my second visit was not as great. The highlights didn't start at my scalp, so my roots were still visible after I left. If you can afford to have Judy cut your hair (I can't) then you should go. Otherwise, it's hit or miss. read more

If you have curly hair or really fine hair, or *gasp* a dreaded combo of the two, you, like me, have probably had a bunch of bad hair cuts in the past and have a healthy fear of coming out of the salon looking like a christmas tree, a muppet or just a big frizzy, fly-away mess. Saw ________ (ugh, I really thought her name was Lisa... but no Lisa on their site... maybe it was Linda C?) and she wanted to cut my hair into much more aggressive layers and shape it's never had that I've been too scared to get since short pieces usually means static and frizz to me. But, with the idea that I'm going to blow it out all winter anyway, and that it'd grow out by spring if I hated it, I gave it a shot. To my surprise, my hair turned out smooth, not frizzy, great straight, but also so well layered that it looks great air-dried or half-dried or whatever! Such an easy to manage, fun and professional cut... I usually feel sexy after leaving the salon, but not usually after the first shower, too! I am very impressed- even more so after a few days than when I walked out the door. Years of sticking to my 'so-so' salons in Harvard Sq and the occasional trip to Newbury St are a thing of the past. JJ is cheap for the magic they work AND you don't end up leaving with a head full of product, which I HATE. I figure the places that send you on your way with all the gunk in your hair don't have the confidence that your hair will look good without it. Curly or wavy - have no fear! read more

I'm going to give a tentative bump down, I called to make an appointment with Tarley (who rocks, see review below) and they are asking for a credit card to hold an appointment?? If this policy sticks I won't be heading back any time soon, Tarley or no. EDITED Despite stating that I would no longer be a customer if this policy held they essentially said "meh" Customer for 10+ years allowed to walk away? In the end worked out great since Tarley has now moved to the other side of Porter Sq. so I get my haircuts from her still without the BS Judy Jetson crap. read more

I am new to the bOston area, and was in desperate need of a haircut. Choosing a new salon is not an easy thing to do. Trusting someone new with your hair can be tough. I passed by Jusy Jetson on the bus one day and thought it looked pretty cool. After yelping it, I saw others said good things about it, so I made an apt. I had a GREAT first time experience there. I got my haircut by Derrick. He was super nice and really friendly. I felt right at home. He did a great job with the cut, and they use really nice products so you leave with shiny, healthy hair! Not to mention the prices were way less than I expected, which is always a good thing! I would definitely recommend Judy Jetson to friends. read more

I have two very mature, well-behaved children ages 9 and 11. They have been getting their hair cut on Newbury Street at Salon Capri for years. Because we needed holiday cuts, and their usually stylists were busy, someone recommended Judy Jetson. Since it was local to us, and I run a nearby business, I thought it would be nice to try. While midway through booking the appointments the receptionist asked how old the kids were. She then informed me the stylists don't do kid's cuts. I responded that they were not toddlers. There is zero reason to treat them any different than any other client...as they were used to getting their hair cut and styled in salons. She said that some stylists just "have their rules". Maybe they are more hospitable if you're a hipster millennial over 18. We will never know. No one in our family will ever be visiting this unwelcoming business. read more

Judy Jetson's is a great place, I've been going for a long time and I love the atmosphere. Everybody is really relaxed, it's a nice vibe. It feels like a treat when I get to go and get a cut there. And if you have short hair or you're thinking of going for it, I definitely recommend Linda K! I was determined to cut my long hair into a cute short style, but I only vaguely knew what I wanted. Linda really listened to me when I tried to describe what it was I was looking for, and she is so adept at short cuts that she knew precisely how to approach my hair and style it into what I wanted. I loved it! She also gave me plenty of spot-on tips on how to style it myself once I was left to my own devices at home. For something cute, fun, and funky, definitely think about making an appointment with Linda! read more

Judy Jetson's is amazing. I've been coming here for a year now for cuts, and I always walk away with a great style. I see Carmi, and not only does she know exactly what I want for new cuts, but I learned today that she's a color miracle-worker. For a while I stopped getting colors done at salons, and I had tried to bleach my hair myself over the last couple of months. Although I'm usually ok at it, this time I screwed up big time. I walked in today with a grey/green fried mess of uneven bleach and 2 kinds of faded dye, and Carmi turned it into the sleek cobalt blue I wanted, bright and even. It looks so much better than I thought was possible, especially given what she had to work with. Thanks, Carmi and JJ!!! :) read more

I highly recommend Ilana! I had been driving to Newton from West Somerville to get a haircut, and when I finally admitted that was crazy (and broke up with my ex who used to drive me), I needed to find someone on this side of the river who could cut my baby-fine, straight hair without making me look like I'm 3. Ilana does a great job. In my very first appointment with her two years ago, she asked me what I liked about the haircut I had at the time and "what drives you crazy about it?" She tries to understand the quirks of your hair and what might happen to make a style not turn out "as predicted" from the barbershop chair. If you aren't 100% satisfied with what you see in the mirror at the end, she keeps cutting until you are, without any 'tude. Together, we have managed to grow out my hair from earlobe length to shoulder length without any "awkward period." From the other reviews, it sounds like she does just as well with other types of hair (e.g. curly). A note on the conversation level: she finds that happy medium betwen Chatty Cathy and the surly stylist who rebuffs your friendly questions with one-word answers. Call early - if you have a specific day/time you want to come, her schedule can get full up to a month in advance! Then when you get your appointment, go a bit early to have a cup of complimentary coffee, and sip it as you look around at the decor - there is plenty to look at! Vintage 1950s/60s signs with slogans like, "We'll change your mind about a permanent wave!" A hollow clear resin human head illuminated from the inside with rope lighting. And lots more, including many pieces of beautiful religious art that I can never decide whether they're displayed with irony (which would be sort of offensive), or not. At $55, the price of a cut here is on the low side of average for Boston. They take cards for the price of the service itself, but tips are cash only. read more

This was my first real salon haircut after I shaved my head, and it was totally worth it. I had been going to barbers, but they were really hit or miss. I looked for a place to treat myself to something nicer, and Judy Jetson seemed like the place to go. I walked in on a Monday afternoon and they saw me within 20 minutes! Anya was incredibly helpful and patient despite me not knowing any of the words for what I wanted. My haircut is textured beautifully and I can really tell the difference between this and my previous haircut. I am really happy and will be coming back! read more

Damon gave me an awesome haircut AND he was fun, funny, and the best person to talk to for an hour while he snipped at the mess on my head. Everyone else was wicked nice, too... and the salon (whether interior is your thing or not) really does add a little bit of color to preptastic Cambridge. I'll be going back, as long as Damon is there to shoot the shit with me. PS: My hair wasn't a mess when I left. It short and funky and not at all the bowl of curls I'd walked in with. I win. read more

This is what good customer service looks like. The receptionist is capable of booking an appointment (unlike the last place I went to) and is clear about salon policies & reminds you of the policies when calling to confirm your appointment. Linda Kirk is a wizard. Her consult is very thorough. She gets to know you and works to design a style that's flattering and works with your lifestyle. My hair got a much needed update. Then, the owner herself called a week later to see if I was satisfied with my cut. Rock on JJ!!!!!!!! read more

I am new to the Boston area. I saw the hair salon last week when I was getting my nails done across the street. I walked in and I found paradise: a very professional, easy going, friendly atmosphere. Serviceable staff. And a lovely owner who was very accommodating. The color and cut that I received are perfection. I strongly recommend this hair salon to anyone in the city. Satisfaction guaranteed: that is the assurance that you want in a service encounter. I definitely will be back! read more

So I just went to Judy Jetson this morning for the first time. Ace cut my hair. And colored it. It was not in great shape when I went in, but now it looks fabulous. I didn't have a specific idea of what I wanted -- only a little criteria (redder, shorter, maybe some bangs?). I put myself entirely in Ace's hands and was thrilled with the results. He was a patient listener to my thoughts and confident about what he was doing. And now my unruly, unmanageable hair looks super cute Can't recommend him enough! Also, I wanted to counteract some of the negative reviews about the "attitude" at J.J. Contrary to some of the other reviewers, I thought the place was friendly and inviting. The banter between stylists was amusing and jovial, not "unwelcoming" or "rude" as other reviewers have suggested. Everyone was perfectly nice to me from the receptionist down the line -- and I'm not too terribly "hip", so I know I wasn't being judged there. One star down because, of course, like any good thing, this adorable haircut (and color) had a price. And the price was pretty pricey. Probably not enough to keep me from coming back -- but my wallet is feelin' the burn. read more

Josh has cut and highlighted (highlit?) my hair for the last year. He cuts my SO's hair. He cuts our friends' hair. He should cut your hair too. He is creative, thoughtful, fun to talk with, and good at what he does. Bring him a picture, arm yourself with reasonable expectations, and let him do his thing. And the rest of the folks at Judy's are friendly and knowledgeable too. read more

Jenn is seriously the absolute best. I came in with the lofty goal of turning my brown hair purple and BAM she used her magic and my hair is now the best shade of purple.

I haven't reviewed a whole buncha stuff here on Yelp, but since I have somewhat relied on it to support my seemingly endless and hopeless quest for a great haircut, I am compelled to pay it forward, as they say. Since quietly "breaking up" with my last stylist over two years ago (I really felt like she was phoning it in with every haircut, so blahhhhh), I've been all over the place, and my poor locks have suffered accordingly. I don't care so much about a good cultural fit, or the quality of salon chit-chat, I just want someone to listen to me, to understand my hair needs and goals and to apply their expertise in a way that makes me look super awesome. I mean, really! Well hallelujah, thank you Danielle at Judy Jetson. I had a slow day at the office, so I called up and voila, I had an appointment that very afternoon. I brought in a picture, and she figured out what aspects would work and which wouldn't- but more importantly, Danielle really, and I mean REALLY assessed my hair situation and figured out a plan of action. She was frank, direct, honest and funny and she really took her time figuring out what would work best. I wax on about this because every pre-cut consultation I've ever had to this point has been so wishy-washy that it's no wonder I've ended up with the so-so, or even just plain bad cuts I've had so far. Just 45 minutes later, I walked out of the salon with one of the best haircuts I've ever had. The truly best part is that after sleeping on it (a curly, not blown-out do, mind you), the style is still in great shape, and I'm feeling pretty confident that the cut itself will keep styling almost effortless. Of course, the true measure of success is repeatability. I will absolutely go back. PS: Moroccan Oil may be expensive but it smells so so so good. Must. Buy. Now. read more

I had hair cut yesterday and Feri (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly) did a spectacular job!! I have long curly hair and Feri gave me an edgy bob cut with some great curly hair tips along the way. I was the only customer for most of the time and they seem to have several good COVID safeguards in place. read more
