I went in about a month ago and saw Brittany for blonde balayage and a trim. She did a fantastic job. The coloring is gorgeous, natural looking (not brassy, yellowy, or violet) and has a lot of depth. She was a total sweetheart too. Highly recommended! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the salon's prices. $$$ on Yelp would be more accurate than the current $$ rating. This is not to say that they don't do a high quality job though. My hair is slightly longer than a pixie, and a very quick cut/trim after my coloring added $65 to my tab. That's bonkers. I might understand that price for someone with long hair who wants layering/texturing/new bangs, etc. but they should consider pricing their cuts on different levels. Also, the balayage was considerably more expensive than at my last salon in Austin - where everything is already stupid expensive. I still plan on going back though because I've yet to find another blonde colorist in this city who is as good as Brittany! I'll just have to get my hair cut somewhere cheaper. read more

I went through n to have my dark brown hair brought down to red . She the owner did a ok job. After she was done the roots did not match my hair so we did a second time still not matching the rest of my hair. I paid 600.00 and still my roots didn't match . She did my roots 3 time and still didn't match. The whole time I was there she talked and made plans for a benefit and ignored me. Basically no conversation to speak of . If I were her the owner I would spending time with my customers and not ignore the customer sitting right in front of her. I was no disappointed . Don't waste Yur time with this place . All the hair dressers didn't have there hair done. They looked raggedy and not a good representation of their practice. Don't waste Yur time plus their prices were way too high. read more

bad customer service truly upset!! Visiting for a wedding, they wouldn't take me after making an appointment 8 weeks ago because I was running 10 min late due to traffic read more

I booked a hair appointment at this salon. I have long hair so I normally prefer to go to salon than a barbershop. But I was worried if they don't mess up my hair and guess what, I was wrong. My hairdresser was really calm while cutting my hair and she knew what she was doing. I explained her what I want and she did it. I am extremely satisfied with the hair cut I have now and I am not disappointed. Everything about this place was satisfying and nice. I will definitely recommend this salon to anyone. read more

I'm giving three stars because my cut was great and the colorist really tried to deliver. Not sure I like the brand of color that was used as I sHouldnt see such a line of demarcation this soon. At least she told me i wouldn't because of the color she chose. Perhaps this isn't the product for me. Expensive location. 300 for this service color/cut which I was told was custom I'd return for a cut though. I've been able to go much longer with a high/lowlight in the past. read more

I am in town for a wedding and found JW Salon after a Google search. I was able to get an appointment with Jessica for a blowout with curls and she was excellent. So professional and personable. I really enjoyed talking with her & she did my hair exactly how I wanted. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great salon experience. read more

Beware the contract they have you sign and the associated fee for missing an appointment! I was done dirty by this place- set an appointment and signed a contract, but the day of my appointment, I realized that in their reminder texts, they'd changed the appointment time to 2 hours earlier. Admittedly, I should have caught the discrepancy then and adjusted, but there was no change notice or confirmation of the time. When they texted me to say that they'd be charging me a $125 fee for missing the new appointment time a whole 2 hours before I was expecting to be there, I was only 30 minutes late for the new appointment time (blocked for 3 hours) but they still wouldn't let me come in for a cut and no color (that would take less time)! They were happy to just. I'll t this wildly high fee and not help me. So now, I'm out $150, have no cut, and it's still an hour until my original appointment time. It's a shame because the stylist seemed kind and apologetic for this policy, but now that I know how little consideration they give their clients' needs, I'm glad that I'm going elsewhere for my color and cut. Still rating them a 3, because it wasn't entirely their fault- no idea how their services actually are :/ read more

After trying to get into another salon with no success and I decided to give this salon a try since I was in such need of color and cut. I went to a stylist named Katie,, while sweet it was the worst color and cut I have ever had not to mention for $215 dollars!!! Hair uneven, no style, and didn't cover grays!!!! My shirt got bleached and I was told to use a sharpie! The owner flutters around thinking she is some of the kind of gift to hair utterly ridiculous. In addition I was told that I was not wearing my mask as she saw fit! I will mind you there was no policy on website, when made appointment, or on door!! I would have not gone! The wash stations were not 6 feet apart, the chairs are not 6 feet apart, and she was concerned that I had to laugh my mask under my nose! I so am upset!!!!!! Lesson learned, next time stick with the recommendation from locals and read reviews closer! read more

Frances is amazing. I love my cut and color. Frances is a great listener and takes time to be certain she knows exactly what you want. She has the talent and skills to make the color and style I want work with my face structure and on my hair type. She is always on time and is so nice. read more

I am so bummed. After going in for a 30 minute consultation with picture, a 6 hour appointment and over $300 I am left with orange brassy hair. I brought pictures to my consult and both the stylist Madylynne and the Owner Avril were confident that Madylynn would be able to achieve the look. My appointment ended at 7ish at night and it was raining so we couldn't get the color in the natural light and the lighting in the salon is not great which Madylynn said. The next morning I looked at my hair in the natural light and I was completely orange. I immediately sent the pictures of my hair to the salons FB and the pictures of the look Madylynn and the owner confirmed she could achieve... and they agreed it was brassy and orange. They rebooked me to have it fixed. I just left my appointment and my hair it STILL BRASSY. I am so bummed out. After spending $300 + and hours at the salon I'm so sad that my hair is orange. When I contacted the salon after the first visit they said they would be able to tone it out and completely fix it, after today I asked Madylynn why it was still orange and she said i would need to pay for ANOTHER LIGHTENING service in order for her to fix it???? So so sad about this. If she was unable to achieve the look without turning me orange I wish she, the owner or the receptionist would have mentioned this at my consultation, at my first appointment, or at the time they rebooked me to fix it. The rest of my hair looks amazing and Madylynn did an amazing job of my balayage it's just so depressing to spend this much money and time and come out with orange hair despite the clear communication about BRASSY / ORANGE tones being my worst fear. I have attached pictures that I showed at my consult and before my appointment started and how my hair turned out. read more

asked for a middle part and left with possibly the worst haircut of of my life, basically a buzz cut when I left and its a week before Christmas. and very expensive for a mens haircut read more

I have had a mixed experience as a client here and would not reccommend this salon. After my first visit with Frances for color correction I had to return for more correction within a few days. The second time it was right and we've established what I consider to be a good hair relationship. But now I have had two very unpleasant conversations with the owner who states that I MUST ALLOW HER TO DO MY HAIR IN ORDER FOR ME TO CONTINUE BEING A CLIENT AT THE SALON?!#!??? So she can explain some things to me OR I'm not allowed back for Frances to do my hair. It's so not worth the hassle. read more

In the past, I've not had good experiences with hair stylists in Savannah. I needed my hair colored, so I went to book an appointment for highlights at JW salon simply because I'd heard good things and they have good prices. Walking in, I was greeted and was welcomed immediately. My hair stylist was wonderful. It was my first time meeting her but it felt like I was just catching up with a close friend I hadn't seen in a couple years. She listened to everything I had to say and was very thoughtful. She was very attentive to making sure I got what I wanted. She was extremely upfront and didn't try to talk me into buying products I didn't need. I am more than excited to have found Jessica as my new hairstylist. read more

Had the worst haircut and color experience I've had in a very long time. Hate them both- now my hair is in a ponytail for 3 months until I can travel back to my old stylist to fix it. read more

Hate giving bad reviews but.... 8 minutes. That's all they could give me. Here's a quick description. I'm a male in his mid-40's, growing his hair out for the first time in 20 years. It's been 4 months since last cut and it was time for a trim. Madeline was my "stylist". Told her the same and said that I was okay with her cutting what she needed to off the back but to try and cut as little a length as possible from the rest. Just wanted the dead ends, split ends and all freshened up. So the problems: First, I had to constantly turn around to talk to her about what I needed. We just met. Do you mind giving me some attention? This was the attitude the whole way. Get me done and gone. Second, she only trimmed the ends of the sides and back. Never even put her fingers through the top. It was like getting a bowl cut from mom. Third, I went in with fresh hair so she could see what the hair looked like without product. While I declined a shampoo, she said she would cut it dry. I didn't think she meant it literally but she did. Not even a spritz of water. She cut it dead dry. Third, before I knew it she was removing the apron. No offer to style it. No offer of any product. No recommendations of products. Just felt like she wanted to get to bigger things. Fourth, wrote my receipt and just was done with me. Had to wait to pay while another hairstylist engaged in a long conversation with her client at the register. Finally, that client before me gave a $20 tip on a $215 service. I gave $ 10 on a $17 haircut. I tip well as I know it's how stylists really make their money. I did knock the tip down ( was prepared for $15) but felt if I stiffed her it would only reaffirm her reasons for inattention to a male client. It's like how waiters will bend over backward for a table of ten and ignore the table of two. Good service should not be predicated on expectation of a reward. So if you made it this far, I'd say this experience sucked , I won't be back and would tell any one to not freaking bother. read more

Since moving from Chicago to Savannah I've noticed things are done a little differently in the south. I've learned that there is a slower pace of living and the expectations fall very short from what I know back home. JW Salon is one of the very rare things about Savannah I have confidence in. After a tragically cold Chicago winter, my hair became lifeless and I was itching for a GREAT haircut. After devistating results from another salon in Savannah I had to find a new salon and after extensive YELPing and Google'ing... I decided to try out JW salon. 1. The receptionist was very helpful and super sweet! She recommended me two stylist she really liked who were available for an apointment later in the day (just what I wanted!). I told her I had a bad experience with some stylist in Savannah who chopped of 6 inches of hair, when I went in for a trim. She assured me she'd let my stylist know my desire to keep length and I would be fine. She was genuine when I walked into the salon and very professional. 2. The design of the salon is outstanding. They have the most AMAZING shampoo bowls ever! They were comfy and attached to high end massage chairs. I'm not talking about the ones that leave you crying after your pedicure... These were FANTASTIC!!!! The decor is modern yet cozy. It gives a welcoming, relaxing feeling. 3. Michael is ABSOLUTELY the BEST stylist I've EVER been to! I have tried some of the most premier salons in Chicago and never got EXACTLY what I wanted/needed. Michael recommended what would be the best style of cut for me and exactitude it flawlessly. After watching Tabitha's Salon Takeover religiously I'm aware of what things a stylist should do to make sure the haircut is perfect and Michale's work speaks for itself. He is absolutely fantastic. 4. If you look, a haircut in Savannah is $55 on average. I'm sorry, but my hair now looks like a million bucks! WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY. I don't know if it's silly- but I am excited about coming back to the salon for once. If you think I am silly... Book an appointment at JW Salon. You'll know what I mean when you leave. read more

Ummm... don't let the fact that Averil turns her chair around and won't let you see what the fudge she's doing with the scary, dangerous scissors that could make you cry... just do what she asks and hold on and sit still. This may not be the place to go for a cheap haircut but who wants that anyway? Schedule a consultation and discuss what you want to do. Finding a new hairstylist is like a relationship. Get to know each other, talk about your needs, and then just sit back and hold on. That's what I did and now Averil is my new hairstylist love of my life. From a girl who went from awesome hair to even more totally, awesome, fashion forward hair... try JW. read more

I usually have my hair done by Michael Whitehead who is no longer at JW Salon. While he was out of town, they recommended I see Andrea for a cut and color. She absolutely destroyed my hair by using a razor to make long layers in my semi-curly hair. After a few weeks, my hair was frizzier than it has EVER been and breaking at the ends. I now know that you are NEVER supposed to use a razor on curly hair. Six weeks later, I followed up with Michael Whitehead who had to take about 2-3 inches off of my hair to remove the damage she had done. I will not be returning to JW in the future for any services. Michael Whitehead is now at Towne Salon and that's where I will go. read more

Came here for a cut and left pretty happy. I got exactly what I wanted; there are times when you ask for special length or style and end up with something totally different, but not at JW. I ask the style to do some specific things and she got it all pretty well. Let's say I look a few years younger after the haircut! The salon/spa is quiet nice, a bit on the trendy side and a very friendly staff assisted me all the way and very reasonable prices. what else could someone ask for a simple cut?! read more

If I could do 10 stars I would. I came into JW after receiving an awful hair cut from Roots Southern Salon. Francis took the time to listen, really look and access the damage to fix it the best she could. It is hard to trust someone you've never had before especially after a bad experience, but Francis is the reason I don't have to wear my hair up for the next year. Below you can see a before and after picture! If you're on the fence about trying someone new I would highly recommend JW, they know what they are doing. read more

I hate to leave a negative review, but I had a horrible haircut at JW. Everything, besides the haircut, was fine. The receptionist was friendly, and hair stylist (I can't remember his name) seemed accommodating. I don't like having my bangs trimmed at salons, because I have a weird cowlick that always end up way too short. I told the hairstylist not to cut my bangs at all. I told him about the cowlick, and that I preferred to cut them myself. He said that would be fine. An hour later, my hair looked great! And then.... he literally chopped a huge chunk out of the middle of my bangs. I was horrified, and I asked him why he did that after I asked him not to touch them. He said they were too 'heavy'. To make a bad situation worse, he cut my cowlick. It looked horrible; the middle of my bangs were less than half the length of the rest of them. I literally cried all the way home. This haircut took place in November, and my bangs still haven't grown out. read more

I love JW salon! I've been getting my hair done there for about a year and I always leave feeling like a new woman. The staff is very friendly, professional, and highly skilled. If you need a good salon in Savannah this is where you need to go! read more

Favorite salon! Averil and her team are amazing. They make you feel right at home, have a cute new client welcome packet, and a drink station. The salon is so classic and elegant. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Getting my hair cut is usually depressing. There's a lot of time staring in the mirror under poor lighting with my wet hair combed in front of my face and someone saying, "So what are we doing today?" And I feel overwhelmed and start mumbling things like, "Anything so I don't look like my dad!" Obviously, there's a lot of psychological stuff going off for me when I go into a salon. David gets that. He's got a good sense of humor, he's kind and, most importantly, he knows how to use those scissors. Frankly, all the niceness in the world wouldn't cut it (pun couldn't be averted!) if he wasn't a good stylist. Every time David has cut my hair, I feel like a million bucks. Sadly, we're not in the same city anymore and I feel the loss! However, my loss is probably someone else's gain because now he has more openings. read more

Jessica is amazing!! She has been doing my hair since she was in cosmetology school and her work has always been phenomenal. I have very dry wavy hair naturally and she's able to blow it out so smooth and straight and silky, and her coloring skills are no joke. She's not just a great stylist, she's also an unbelievably sweet person in general. Very kind and considerate of your comfort level. She's made an excellent addition to JW!! read more

DAVID is a great hairstylist! He's given me and many of my friends fantastic looks. I'm a mix between classic & edgy & he nails it every time. He's sweet, fun, & highly recommended. Master at his craft!! read more

My first visit to JW Salon was amazing. You're greeted as soon as you walk in the door and they even offer you refreshments! I was even given a goody bag of coupons and sample product for being a new client. Brittany Whybrew cut my hair and I have no complaints! She was super sweet and made me feel comfortable. She definitely knows her stuff and explained exactly what she was doing and why. Hair feels (& looks) healthy and looks so much better than when I walked in the door! I think it is safe to say they have gained a loyal client! read more

Beautiful salon that squeezed me in for a wash and blow out last minute! The salon offers a luxe experience - the shampoo chair is a massaging chair, fruit infused water and tea are available, warm lavendar towel for your neck. The receptionist was very polite and accomodating. My stylist was Meghan and she is a doll! Super personable and blew out my hair exactly how I wanted. She explained hair products without pushing me to buy. I left the salon feeling great! When I return to Savannah, I will definitely schedule another blow out here! read more

Wanted me to drive an extra 2 hour trip just for a 15 min consultation for hair color, refused to have consultation same day, or use a photo to judge hair. I recommend reconsidering this policy, you lost at least one customer today. read more

This salon is professional, calming and clean. The nail technician Jamie gives the best manicures and pedicures. She is excellent and thoughtful in the way she shapes, cleans, massages and paints your nails. I put four stars because I got a haircut from Michael that was awful. I have very thick red hair and a pixie cut and he chopped it so badly I'm having to grow it out more so that I can get it cut back to it's normal shape. I was very disappointed. However, Michael is very nice and professional and I see that he does a good job with long hair. Maybe we just weren't on the same page. In all, I recommend this salon. Prices are reasonable for a high end salon and everyone is friendly. read more

I was married in Savannah this past weekend. I live in Los Angeles and have never been to a salon in Savannah. I picked JW as the salon for mine and my bridesmaids hair based on all the great reviews. And I am so happy I did. Averil, the salon owner did my hair. From the moment I sat down, she completely understood what I wanted for myself and my bridal party. I highly recommend her and the other stylists. The prices were extremely reasonable as well! read more

5 stars is well deserved because of Ashlynn. She educated me about do's and dont's about hair and made sure I was comfortable with her game plan for my hair. Everything she used on my hair were items she highly recommended to take better care of my hair and so that I could emulate what she did. Can't wait for my hair journey with her. :) read more

I went to JW salon after having a bad experience elsewhere at another Savannah salon. I booked with Jennifer based upon a recommendation from an acquaintance from work. The salon itself is very nice and relaxing. The environment is welcoming, clean and serene. I was happy with my highlights in general - Jennifer seemed to listen to all of my concerns and took that into consideration with the types of color and product that she used on my hair. She was honest and friendly and in general I had a great experience there! The only negative that I'd warn people about is that JW Salon takes your credit card number when you book and they will not allow you to cancel any later than 24 hours notice. Unfortunately on the way to my hair appointment my car died and had no way of waiting for AAA to come, bringing it to the mechanic and also making it to my hair appointment on time. When I called and asked them to please reconsider their policy since this was an extenuating circumstance I was told that they would charge me in full for the appointment regardless. Needless to say I left my car on the side of the road and walked 20 blocks there to make the appointment to avoid being charged $150 unnecessarily. I can understand that they frown on cancellations - but I do wonder if I'll return given the way that they handled the situation. As opposed to earning a long term client they only won out in getting a 1 time fee from me. read more

I have only been here one time -- and that was enough to know that I won't be back. I witnessed a individual throwing a "hissy fit" only to find out she was the owner. It made the atmosphere very uncomfortable. While I was getting my haircut -- the stylist was more interested in gossiping than getting me out of there. I won't be back! read more

dawn was really great with my long hair. its to my bra strap(thats long considering im 5'9) she gave me a "dry cut", because of length and how much hair i have. to be quite honest, she gave me the best haircut ive ever gotten~ to bad i am moving this week-4 hours away. she is so good that im considering planning mini vacations so i can get my haircut with her again. but if not, she let me know what how to find my next hairdresser........she told me exactly what i need to know!!! thanks a lot DAWN!! christy, AKA Goldens mom!!! btw, i have lived in savannah 3 years & been to 5 different hairdresser at all upscale places. i read jessica t's review and had asked to see Averil ( i know jessica personally & she has great hair), but averil moved to new york. they gave me dawn instead :) read more

This is, hands down, the best salon in Savannah. I've been going to Avril for a couple of years now, and no matter when I've thrown at her (bangs, blonde, bob) I've never walked away from her chair disappointed! You need to book your appointment in advance, but it's well worth the wait read more

Russell is amazing. I've never left the salon unhappy. He's taken my hair from blonde to dark brown to red back to blonde again and it always ends up gorgeous. He's awesome at translating your garbled "well i kinda want this but maybe this and what do you think I should do?" into an awesome end product, and he always goes above and beyond to prevent any excess damage to my hair. Everyone who works there is friendly, charming, and the salon itself is gorgeous. I've had lots of egregiously expensive haircuts in NY and LA and Russell is the best I've ever had! read more
