Ugh. I came in with a very specific formula. As I try and be as blonde as possible. The reason I…read moregave the formula is because that is exactly what I wanted. My hair dresser is out of town with an emergency. So I came here. The owner is nice I just wish she had listened. I didn't want my hair darker in any way shape or form. I wanted it exactly how I always have it, as blonde as possible. Why would I want my hair any darker? Why? I wanted platinum blonde which it was. Why would you put brown low lights in a platinum blonde? My real hair dresser gave me the formula all you had to do was follow it! I spent money, tipped you 20% and now I have to go get my hair fixed. I didnt ask you to do whatever you wanted to my hair. I showed you a formula and wanted you to follow it. Its my hair. Im the one paying for it. I have had it platinum blonde for a very long time! Why would you make my hair darker? I didnt want it any darker. I wanted the exact same color that it was. Ugh. The more I look in the mirror the more angry I get. I dont recommend going here if you are a blonde. Or if you want your hair the way that you want it. I seriously dont understand. Why would you ruin my hair? The place is clean. She was friendly but I am beyond mad. I didnt ask for anything to change about my hair just to touch up my roots.

I have very fine, frizzy hair, and she cut and highlighted it in a way that makes it much more manageable.

I went here in February for a haircut and partial highlight, and based on my experience do not…read morerecommend them. I received partial highlights that were very brassy and looked grown out the second I left the salon. I spent the day of my appointment really disappointed and bought blue shampoo to try to brighten the tone, which didn't work. I decided to call the salon and the owner called back and had me come in to fix it. I drove 30 minutes back to the salon, and when I got there I explained what I didn't like, and the stylist asked me what I wanted to do. Since I'm not the stylist I reiterated that I wasn't sure but explained the problem. He did a quick toner and dried my hair, and I felt much better. The next evening I washed my hair and all the toner came out and my hair was back to where it started. At that point I didn't feel comfortable going back because my concerns were given such a temporary fix and weren't taken seriously. An experienced stylist should know that toner wouldn't last and that I wouldn't be happy in the long run, despite the $300 price tag. I gave it a few weeks to see if I could get used to my hair, but hated it every time I looked in the mirror, so I made an appointment with a different stylist at a new salon. When I told her my experience she said she would have guessed it had been a few months since my last appointment, not a few weeks based on how brassy and grown out it was. She recommended I reach out to the salon and request a refund of some kind based on how my hair looked. I took her advice and emailed JolSalon with my concerns and photos of my hair. After a few weeks no one responded, so I called and left a message explaining that I'd like to talk about my experience. No one called me back so I emailed again asking to talk about my concerns and my experience. It's now been two months and no one has responded to me. I'm disappointed that they have handled a poor experience in such an unprofessional way. If a refund isn't available then they should be open to hearing about my experience so they can learn from it, but nothing. I strongly recommend you avoid this salon.

I searched Yelp for a reputable salon with a stylist I could trust and decided on this one. I…read moregenuinely appreciated the skill level and knowledge of the stylist I booked with. They worked carefully to keep my hair strong, soft, and healthy throughout a 9+ hour treatment, which I did value. However, despite the time and effort, I left my appointment very disappointed. Prior to booking, I clearly discussed the details of what I wanted. When I arrived, I specifically reiterated that I did not want my roots touched and that I wanted a high ombré. By the time my hair was fully bleached, the day was over and I was exhausted. Unfortunately, I left with jagged, block-like streaks that stood out dramatically and vibrant fuchsia colored hair instead of a pastel pink. Thankfully, I was offered a complimentary correction and returned the following week. However, at the start of that second appointment, I was told I would need to pay to have my roots fixed because it was "not what I asked for." and refused to correct my hair to pastel pink. This was confusing, as I had clearly communicated my request multiple times and had even shown reference photos. At that point, knowing I would have to pay either way to correct my hair, I decided to proceed. In total, I ended up paying nearly $800. I'm still unsure how there was such a miscommunication. I was clear and precise in my explanation, repeated myself several times, and provided visual references. Additionally, I was given a quote prior to my first appointment. My stylist was aware of my starting color, the desired shade, and what the process would require. Yet after nine hours, the final price was several hundred dollars more than originally quoted, reportedly due to extra product and multiple batches being needed. On top of the second appointment? The lack of cost transparency was disappointing. Overall, I was disappointed not only with the final result but with the experience as a whole. I've had this exact same service done at other salons in the past without spending that many hours, paying that much, or walking away with results I didn't ask for. My stylist was also late both times to our scheduled appointments. Unfortunately, I do not plan to return to this salon.
