The owner of Hair Studio 159 is John-Michael and his wife Thuy. When I walked into their salon, I was greeted first by Thuy and then by John-Michael.
This is a full service salon from getting a hair cut, to coloring your hair, and they even do continuing education for any hairstylist. The hair cut here is average priced around $15 for men and $40 for women.
Let me redefine average... unless you are going to a $2.99 haircut place... this place is very comparable and competitive to Visible Changes, Toni&Guy, Supercuts, and GreatClips. I have been to Visible Changes, in order to get a "master" to cut your hair, you have to make an appointment AND pay top dollars, otherwise you get a random person that may or may not be good. Yes they actually have levels there... the saying goes you get what you pay for.
What i like about Hair Studio 159 is that John-MIchael is the master hairstylist himself, he can perform perms, color, highlights, low-lights, keratin treatment, and even extensions.
The service and attention that I get here is very personalized. I tell John-M what I want and he doesn't just cut my hair, he talks me through the process, and explains to me why or why not this cut might not work for me. He gives helpful suggestions.
I have gotten the keratin treatment done at John-M's salon. Keratin Treatment is used to tame crazy frizzy hair like myself. It tames the hair, gives it strength and keeps it nice and straight. I follow up with the recommended ArgaBeta Oil sold by John-M at his salon. I apply it at the roots after every shower. ArgaBeta Oil contains Argan Oil and BetaCarotene. BetaCarotene is a molecule required to produce Vitamin A, it is found in carrots and when applied to your hair, it will also prevent split-ends. The oil also contains a UV filter. Now I know the term oil will scare a lot of people away but don't be. ArgaBeta oil is so pure, it absorbs completely into your hair, the proof is in the hands. Once the oil has absorb, your hands no longer feels oily. The results are instant. There is no wait time to feel the difference. I was very skeptical of this product until I tried it.
I highly suggest that everybody who goes to John-M gets a cut and shampoo so they can experience the oil for themselves. Tell them you read it on YELP and pass the word along.
I also got my hair color done there too. John-M uses a brand called Dikson and Chromastics. The colors are beautiful, it makes my hair so soft and silky. I got the highlights put in a few weeks ago. I love it.
John-M also keeps a record of all the clients who come in so he can remember what you like and don't like about the haircut so you don't have to stress about it.
I highly recommend this place to everyone. He has customers from all over the US who are very devoted to him because the quality of service here as well as how my hair came out...I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more
