I cannot say enough good things about Cris Jon. You will not find a better stylist anywhere than Tina (and her team). She intuitively knows exactly what to do to make you feel like your best self, and she is honest about what will work for you. My highlights are subtle, yet cover my grays, and she always delivers a perfect haircut and blowout. The environment is relaxing, peaceful, and posh to boot. If I could give her an 11/10 I would...look no further than Cris Jon for the most talented stylist on the East Coast. read more

Modern salon, positive vibe. I am totally gray and need to start going towards blonde. Great job on cut and color. Stephanie and Tina were fantastic. Recommend. read more

I had visited this salon a few years earlier for a photo shoot and was impressed by both the staff and the salons ambiance. About a year ago I decided I was ready for a hair make-over and knew this was where I wanted to go! Having not designated a stylist, I was greeted by Stephanie within minutes of being seated. I could almost hear her thoughts as she looked at me, then she quickly asked for mine. I said I was ready for a true change, then invited her to take control. She shared a few thoughts- enough for me to say, "let's go"! The change was dramatic- and I loved it! Her quick assessment clearly included my size, style, and age. The results were fabulous and absolutely reflected the change I was hoping for! I have continued my salon services with Stephanie; I can't imagine going anywhere else. Over the last several months she's suggested some slight changes, all of which have enhanced my style even more. If you are looking for a great stylist, I would highly recommend Stephanie and Cris Jon Salon. You will leave looking and feeling fabulous! read more

Finally, after years of fighting with my grey hair I decided to embrace it and allow it to go natural...with a little help initially. My goal was to remove the color, add in majority grey with some dark ombre ends and a few low lights and allow it to grew in and blend naturally. I knew this would be an expensive, time consuming task, and one only a professional colorist should tackle. A color expert would be the equivalent of a specialty doctor - one with a license and specialized training. I researched what I wanted online to see if it was doable and read up on the technique, processing, and time required. I did not go into this blindly. I knew my hair would need to be stripped of all the dye and I would be sitting hours in the salon chair. I was prepared. I had two months of regrowth. The only thing I needed was to find an expert colorist to preform the transition. Google lead me to this salon whom I've never heard of before. I called and asked about a consult, as I wanted to make sure they knew exactly what I wanted and my expectations. The consult was $50, only after I asked if it is applied to the appointment cost did they say yes. This was not willingly volunteered. At the consult, I did feel like I lead the conversation, as Tina said very little. I had pictures of the results I wanted and also let her know that I did my research and knew my hair would need to be stripped. I questioned her when she insisted it did not, and that she could achieve this look with color, in only a few hours. Hesitant and very nervous about booking I ultimately agreed, trusting her experience and education. The price was equivalent to a month's worth of groceries and was by far the most expensive salon experience I've ever had. At the appointment, Tina worked on me, as well as her assistant and an apprentice. The room was quietly awkward. I felt like I needed to keep talking to get the energy going. The salon itself is beautifully designed, clean, and masculine as it's on the dark side. I had my picture out and showed her again what I was looking for, even questioning if ombre was being done when I was in foils, since I was at a color bar and not seated in front of a mirror. The apprentice was the one who washed me out. Since the price was already high enough I decided against a style, since everything is al la carte. I did get a blow-dry. While Tina did it with a round brush, I would not really call it a style as it wasn't curled with the brush. Initially when dry I knew right away it didn't match the picture nor was it ombre, but with the lighting in there appeared to be a salt and pepper. My goal all along was to let it grow in naturally and blend seamlessly without having to color my roots, so although it wasn't what I wanted, if the color was right I would have been ok. It did feel nice and silky. I generously tipped both Tina and her apprentice. Imagine my surprise when outside in the natural light I inspected my hair and saw yellow, not even blond but yellow. I was not happy. Now not only did I not get the color I wanted, but it was brassy yellow, with a blob of dark hair dye right at my cowlick. My daughter saw it as well and the first thing she said was it's not gray it's yellow. After living with it for about an hour I decided it was time to call them, which I did and was instructed to come back. I expressed my concerns to Tina, who seemed totally confused by my claim of yellow and the blob. She tried to blame the color blob on my skin, than insisted that once it grows in it will blend. She refused any sort of partial refund, and also refused to redo the entire color. She then proceeded to say "it looked better than when I walked in" after I told her this was a basic 80's frost and tip that I could have gotten done at a strip mall salon for $75 - which is in fact true. After much going back and forth, she did fix the blob and gave me two small bottles of purple hair products to help with the brassiness. She also insisted when the grey grew in that I'd like it more. I now have a good bit of regrowth and definitely don't love it, as now I'm back to square one, only with three colors of hair; grey regrowth, brown, and yellow. So not only did I spend a fortune to not get what I want, but now I have to pay more to someone else to fix it. Not only is the color all wrong, but so is the placement of the color. It was also poorly executed, as I had a big color blob, and also some root showing where the dye was not brushed to the scalp. Also, when I got the emailed receipt I was charged $55 alone for the blow dry that wasn't even a style! Disappointed is an understatement. The brassy yellow wouldn't even be an acceptable "highlight". It looks like a failed home foil. read more

I have been going to Cris Jon Salon since 2019. I moved from the Philadelphia area to Lititz. Steph has been my hair stylist , colorist since my move. I cannot say enough about Steph and the other professionals at Cris Jon. I am a busy professional trying to navigate my schedule. I have appreciated the flexibility to work with scheduling to get me in during important moments in my life. My daughter was married in April ... Steph made me feel beautiful. My hair stayed perfect into the brunch the following day. I am a brunette who went blonde due to early graying. My hair always feels healthy. I appreciate the calm , quiet , and well designed atmosphere at Cris Jon. It allows me quiet time in busy days. I highly recommend Cris Jon if you are looking for a high end salon without overpricing. I am never disappointed. read more

Best salon in the area! Im originally from Fl and moved to the area 22 yrs ago and it's taken me this long to find a place where I LOVE my hair! Traveled to WA, Phili, and locally for cuts and finally came across Cris Jon! Highly recommend! read more

Discovered this hair salon when I moved here from out of state. Very quiet and accommodating in every way. Stephanie is very educated and really knows how to color and cut hair. It looks so natural and always takes the time to get it right the first time. Cris Jr. is also a very educated and knowledgeable person in the way he cuts my hair hair. Never in a rush but takes the time to make sure it's very easy to style at home because of his expertise and the way it's cut. I would highly recommend this place if you want a phenomenal cut and color and price is very comparable to the other salons in the Lancaster area. read more

Cris Jon Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Lancaster , Pennsylvania

My daughter went in for a color. She has dark hair and wanted it dyed pink. She was told by calling them and having a consultation that they could do this process, with confidence, and that they knew what they were doing. My daughter showed a picture to them of what she wanted and they said yeah, no problem. She made an appointment for an over 200 dollar service. Steph stripped her hair of color and my daughter questioned the splotchiness in her hair but Steph told her it was fine. She then proceeded to put the color on while her hair was wet which shouldn't of been done. Some colors can be put on wet but not suggested by manufacturers of the colors used on my daughters hair. It was partially done in places and no color in others. Then the manager Tina turned around and put purple in her hair. My daughter asked for pink and her hair came out, purple kind of pink, kind of orange, brown on the ends and splotchy all over. She was very disappointed but the stylists kept saying it was fine it looked good. My daughter came home and it looked ridiculous and certainly not what was asked for or promised. My daughter called they told her to come back and they would take care of her. My daughter decided to go back because it would cost twice as much to go to another salon for a color correction. So she decided to go back to allow them to correct their mistakes. I went with her and they have no idea what they're doing. They are very unprofessional. They tried to gaslight my daughter who is 24 years old by saying things like "we're just bad people." " It looks fine don't you like it?" My daughter was in tears. The owner was not there. We were told he was having medical surgery. I don't know what they told him, but he proceeded in the end yelling at me on the phone and I am saying yelling, saying get out of my salon we're not gonna give you a refund that's not our policy. Not his problem. Tina and the owner Christopher Jon Scena told us they were doing us a favor that, they were staying late to help my daughter. They said spent to much money on her already. They're the ones that messed it up in the first place. I don't understand the unprofessionalism by any of these people. There were three people there Steph who is a stylist, Tina who is the manager and color specialist, and assistant listed as the owners son. Tina told me she was the owner when I asked who we needed to speak to about this issue. When I asked about Christopher, who was listed on the website as the owner and that she was listed as a manager turned around and said they were partners. At this point I couldn't trust or believe anything she was saying. Yet she called the owner because I wanted my money back. All the people involved with running this salon were very unprofessional, including the owner Christopher over the phone, who asked to speak to me and proceeded to yell at me not letting me speak even when I said wouldn't you like my side of the story he said "NO". He proceeded to yell at me and tell me "to get out of his salon, and just leave,leave his salon that he was not going to give us his money our money back that was not his policy". obviously customer service and making your customers happy is not important to Christopher Jon Scena or his business. You would think someone who advertises that they worked with Hollywood A-listers and the like would be a professional. I have never been treated so disrespectfully by any customer service professional in my life like I was with these people, especially an owner of a business. This salon was ridiculous and not the way that you treat customers. Had I seen the reviews of other people that have had the same type of problem with the salon I would've made sure my daughter didn't go there, but she thought she did her research boy WHAT A MISTAKE!!! This is a review so hopefully other's won't make the same mistake. I've included pictures from our adventure so you can judge yourself. We walked out after I hung up on the owner Christopher Jon Scena while he was still yelling at me. To say that I was upset is an understatement. Never never again. I can't give lower than one star but it should be no stars. read more

Pros: very professional and clean looking place. It was a bit hard to find but not super complicated. People there are nice and friendly. Cons: They weren't as accommodating to me as I'd hoped. I can't speak so I use notepad or phone to communicate and they weren't as flexible on it. They didn't really communicate with me much. I asked for their opinion for my hair length and color. My bangs were literally cut through, no shaping or styling at all whatsoever. I have uneven bangs and thankfully, I have a friend who can fix it for me. It's unfortunate because after reading all of the reviews, I was excited. Maybe it was just an off day. Either way, I unfortunately won't be returning. read more

At first it was an amazing experience and I figured I'd make it my salon...I started using their products, spent over $150 on products....I had healthy hair...thick hair, before using the products, weeks/months later my hair still knots so easy and I've lost so much hair that I became extremely concerned so I switched back and my hair isn't falling out as much anymore, the second time I went my scalp was red and inflamed due to the worker not taking his time and being rough...I'm normally quiet about these things but I went home in tears and when I called, all they said was sorry and thank you for calling...wtf. read more

I had a bob cut and styled. Since it was styled I didn't get to really see the full length of my hair. I got home and later that night noticed the back of my hair was a lot longer then I wanted. I called in the next day to see if I could get it fixed. They were super nice and got my in the next day. They took their time to fix it at no cost and it came out even better then I anticipated! #1 for customer satisfaction! Will be going there away for my next cuts read more

This is the first time I've ever written a review but this place is the BEST. This salon is the first one in Lancaster that I wanted to go back to for my next cut/color. The whole experience at Cris Jon is just awesome. Even tho you can tell the second you walk in that everyone who works there is way cooler than you, they are all super nice and don't judge your wicked bad split ends. Also their cappuccinos are better than any coffee place I've been to, just sayin. Most importantly tho, they're wicked good at doing hair. Everyone I see walking out always look happy and their hair looks dope. Both times I've gone, I just told Tina the general feel of what I was picturing, showed a few random pictures, and she took a minute to look at my hair and clothes and told me how she would change it up a little from the pics so that it would work better for me. This is so rare in hair salons; normally the stylist will just try to do exactly what's in the picture, completely ignoring the fact that those chicks you just showed her on insta look nothing like you. Can't recommend this place highly enough. It's way too good to be in Lancaster but I'm so glad it is. I haven't had split ends in months because I actually look forward to gettin a cappuccino and my hair done here. read more

The salon and staff are amazing. My color looks spectacular. Stephanie was my stylist. I have just moved back to Lititz. I highly recommend Cris Jon. Much more than I expected. Really fabulous , courteous , professional staff read more

Loved this salon. The moment you walk in, they greet you and offer you a beverage. Tina, the colorist was amazing. She listened to what I wanted and asked to see pictures so she knew exactly the look I was going for. I wanted a Balayage, similar to Miranda Kerr, however I had been dying my hair repeatedly black for four years so I knew that it would not be an easy task. I liked that Tina was honest with me. She said she could give me a similar look but not as light as I wanted. Going that light at once with all the black dye build up would damage my hair. So she suggested a balayage with chestnut colors and the next time I come back, she would brighten it up even lighter. After all the dying and cutting, my hair came out gorgeous!!! Definitely came out exactly like she said it would. And ladies I definitely suggest getting the "Ny blowout," my hair looked great for days! P.s Scheduling my appointment was a breeze, they didn't cancel or change my appointment around like the other reviewer. Turns out when your stylist is sick, it's best they stay home so they don't come in and get their client sick as well ;) read more

First, you can't get better in Lancaster and if you think you do then you don't know what you have missed. Second, not sure how you know that the excuse they have given is a blatant lie unless you happen to have seen someone claiming to be sick, and not but... just a little clarification, this is not a salon where you are a number... where you are $$$... where someone else (who may be inferior) would take over... this is a salon where they personally take ownership of your hair, your look, and they get to know you, they are experts in the their respective fields and they are professionals. I have lived in Chicago, San Francisco, New York, and have paid a lot of money for average hairstyles and highlights. It has been awhile since I had a really good, no, great haircut and color. While their services are just like big city, and a la carte like a big city, their prices are not. If you aren't happy, they will correct it. They will talk to you... they will work with you. You can't beat that and that is better than most places like... NYC, LI, Chicago and SFo. I have gotten so many compliments on my hair, style and color! This is my favorite salon ... the only thing better would be my own personal hairstylist read more

Everyone is super nice and it's a very intimate atmosphere. Clients interact with other clients and the employees are very welcoming and friendly. Very relaxing and the best cappuccino made fresh to your taste. The employees are well trained in haircuts and color read more

Talk about the best color, best blow out & cut. This is the place to go! People constantly tell me how much younger I look. It is not my skincare it is the perfect tone of highlights for me! Love the entire staff! Tina, Chris, Chris Jr. & Nick. Steph is a new & she is just as wonderful! read more

Best value in the area for a haircut and similar services. The quality is exponentially better than a haircut you'll find for slightly less money and therfore is worth the price difference. I always leave feeling like I received an excellent value for my money. read more

This is the best salon I have gone to in the 9 years I have lived in Lancaster County. I love my cut and color. Highly recommend. My next appt is already scheduled. read more

I went to get my hair color fixed (done by another salon) and was extremely happy with the results!! It was incredible how close they were able to get to my nature color. I completely recommend this salon. read more

The best salon in Lancaster. I'm from NY. I went to 4 different salons until I came across them. They have been amazing. Tina-the colorist is the best colorist I've had. And Cris, is a real artist. They listen to what you want, but also know real style. They are true professionals. The salon is modern and beautifully designed. I don't feel like I'm in Lancaster when I'm there! I never have a problem making an appointment. I'm thrilled they are here! read more

Cris Sr is an absolute master at his craft, and has seriously impressed me with his depth of knowledge. I would have never known that cutting and styling hair is a field that can be approached with such scientific and almost mathematical study and execution. He comes off as a laid back and cool dude, but over the last year plus he has opened up with the whys of what he does and it is very impressive. Very grateful to have access to such excellent skill and knowledge in Lancaster. read more
