I went here on a whim while in town visiting my parents to fix my brassy hair. Emily surpassed my hopes — she toned my hair so well from an orangey balayage to a gorgeous ashy caramel. I’m so excited with my new look! And I truly think it’s the best blowout I’ve ever had and I’ve had many :)

Had a wonderful first visit at James Joseph Salon! Came here for a much needed haircut, Karen greeted me at he front, and walked me back into a sparkling clean chair. She was professional, skilled, and very personable. I felt very cared for, and particularly appreciated the extra time she spend with me during the consult at the beginning of the appointment (My hair came out perfect!). I look forward to returning for my next appointment!

I can't recommend Jess Riccio enough! I moved to DC five years ago, and tried four or five stylists before deciding none of them could compare.
Now I schedule my haircuts around my trips back to the northeast. She takes the time to listen and also advise. She is meticulous and clearly takes pride in her work. I've never had a bad haircut from Jess - and I've never had a better haircut from anyone else. She's cut my hair when it's long and chopped it down into a short little bob. She's totally versatile, super talented and also a wonderful person. You should

I had a hair appointment with a stylist for a partial, the girl was super nice but I ended up not loving the color. The manager promptly called me back the next day, was so genuine about making me another appointment and accommodating my schedule. I saw a different stylist, Karen, and I have never been happier with my hair. Although in the beginning I wasn't pleased, the experience was still a 10/10. Would highly recommend Karen and I will be visiting again.

Went for a blowout and the senior stylist used products that made 5 extentions slip out of my head during the blowout, for anyone that's not familiar with extentions that's $100 worth of hair. Daniela did retape them in which I was grateful for, however she didn't put them where the came from and so high in my head you can now see the bonds when I put them into a ponytail. I told her what my hair was not able to use because of extention rules. Will not be returning. Left midway through appt when hair was dry enough even with a lot of damp patches. Waste of $60.

Janelle did an amazing job on my hair! My hair was a huge frizzy mess before She transformed it with Brazilian blowout and it came out SO good! My hair was so soft and shiny for a good few months. Highly recommend her. She's a lovely person, funny, attentive and very professional! Best hair stylist and best service

Finding a stylist is challenging. Having gone to this studio in Back Bay, I assumed this would be a similar experienced. Unfortunately it was not. The stylist I had was clearly over booked leaving me to sit with foils for close to 1 hour. When time to rinse I was left with my head in the sink for another 20 minutes. Ultimately, my hair was left to process too long and now has blue/grey streaks running through it. When it came time for the cut, I showed her pictures. What I walked out with was not even close. I have an unattractive bob with no texture. The final straw was the price. $300 for over

Went into this salon with INCREDIBLY damaged and very long, dark, black hair that I box colored numerous times. The people there were immediately SO friendly and cool and my stylist, Denise made me feel so comfortable right away. Her hilarious and down to earth, yet classy and highly customer service oriented personality, coupled with her stellar skills and caliber of talent so high, make her a precious GEM to this industry!! I left there with hair So gorgeous that it exceeded all my expectations!! Denise has a client for life!!!!

This salon is so clean, their technology and products are top-notch, and the staff is incredible. Denise Lavino is a master-mind and by far the best stylist I have ever seen!!! She will be honest and has that eye to create a look that is perfect for you. Not to mention she is hilarious and a fantastic person. This salon makes you feel comfortable and well taken care of. I thoroughly look forward to my appointments, the massage chairs at the sink and the head massage after your wash! Highly recommend :)

I found this place in a panic after my hair was butchered at another salon and could not be happier! My appointment was with Melissa who worked a miracle with the disaster I came in with. Not only was she able to fix the color but was able to give me an awesome cut without losing too much length. She gave me her honest input on what would be best for remedying the situation which I think is an invaluable quality in a hairdresser. Everyone there was super friendly and they also have awesome products. I would highly recommend Melissa and am so happy to have found someone as great as she is!

The new James Joseph Salon at Marketstreet in Lynnfield is finally open! Though I've been faithfully travelling to the Medford location for years to get my super-pro haircut from Mayumi - she moved to the new location and I followed suit like a baby bird.
The new space is huge and open. Great modern decor and all around a pretty space. Hair styling chairs line up in bays along one wall and there are a handful of hair-washing sinks in the back corner. I like that everything is open and airy.
The sinks are equipped with very fancy reclining massage chairs -- while I was a little freaked
