The best salon I have ever been to! I first visited Jennifer Julia after my friends raved about it for so long. All the stylists here do the BEST work and the atmosphere is 100% what you want in a salon. Getting your hair done can feel awkard sitting in a chair for hours with a stranger but that is so not the case here. Everyone is so nice and warm to their clients and I always have the best conversations. I leave feeling so great about myself every time. I did end up trying a few different salons just because they were closer after their move but I needed to come back because they other salons just weren't the same. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else ever again! read more

Needed a cut while visiting Buffalo and found this on Yelp. It was near where we were staying and had good reviews. Booked an appointment online very easily with Erin. She was great and the salon is beautiful. The first ward in Buffalo is undergoing a great revival. I would definitely use them again. read more

I started going to Jennifer Julie on a recommendation of a friend as my regular stylist could not get me in. They have been wonderful and I switched from my long time stylist (just too far to travel there) to Jennifer Julia because of their location and Erin's expertise. I love the vibe and location in the First Ward in a safe area where there is available parking. When Erin was suddenly unavailable for an appointment I had scheduled before my engagement pictures, they were extremely accommodating and found someone else to do my hair. I am happy to have found this salon. read more

I have received years of quality service from Jenn and her staff. Not only is Jenn a talented stylist, she is also the epitome of a responsible business owner. Jenn leads with integrity and kindness. I am writing this review based on the services my wedding party and I received on my wedding day, and that I received during my bridal style trial. Jenn and Chelsea styled our hair the day of the wedding, and Jenn did my trial and most of my styling the day of my wedding. Everyone left feeling their most beautiful and like we were just at a party with our best friends. Jenn custom colored and cut halo extensions to make my style just perfect, and practiced my style on me and members of her staff the weeks before my wedding. The end result was nothing less than flawless. I highly recommend Jenn and her staff for a multitude of services. What sets this salon apart from other salons is not only the talent of the stylists, but also how much they care about their clients and art. I believe this is because of the type of leader Jenn is for her team. Thanks again Jenn and team! read more

This was my first time to this salon. I did my research and I was pleasantly impressed with the entire experience. I was taken to my chair upon arrival and my stylist Becca was very attentive. She allowed me to share my thoughts and made suggestions when I was unsure. She took her time and did a fantastic job cutting my hair. I cannot say enough about the quality and professionalism. I will definitely be back! read more

Finding a new hair salon is such a process for me. After countless hours on yelp/instagram I finally decided to check out Jennifer Julia Salon and make an appointment with Marisa. I am literally beyond impressed with Marisa. She exceeded all my expectations. I explained what I wanted and my concerns to what I didn't want and she just knew exactly what to do. Her skills were quite obvious(so talented!) as I left with EXACTLY the haircut and style that I had hoped for. I would highly recommend this salon and definitely plan on returning for all my hair needs!! Notes: *make an appointment *parking is quite limited on Elmwood so get there early to find a spot. *they are moving the salon's location this year...stay abreast! *be prepared for an amazing experience read more

I used to see Jen many years ago and was really excited when I found out she opened her own salon. The feel of the salon is extremely comfortable, and they offer wine, mimosas, coffee or tea while you get your hair done. Jen really takes the time to talk to you before she gets started to make sure you get the look you want. When she was done cutting she even made sure to ask me how I wanted it styled that day. I had a really great experience here, my haircut was awesome and I love how much personal attention Jen gives each client. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Eyebrow Shaping and Brazilian Wax Laurelle is an absolute master of her craft! She is also one of the sweetest people I've ever met. The entire process was as pleasant as it could've been and she is THOROUGH. Every other place I've been to has missed a couple places or been afraid to get into those harder to reach areas, but not her! The conversation was great and there was ZERO awkwardness. My brows also look amazing because she took her time and made sure they were the best shape for my face-she didn't just remove the hair wherever. The music selection was great, room was freshly cleaned right before I walked in. I'm soooo happy! I have to tell you this salon is incredible. I've had my hair cut and colored and now I've been waxed and couldn't be happier. read more

Very professional! They always send texts to confirm appointments, which I find very helpful. Julia cuts my hair perfectly and everyone's so friendly too! The salon itself is very clean and relaxing. read more

Just recently booked an appointment on the recommendation of several people and was not disappointed. My stylist, Amanda, took the time to evaluate my hair and listened to what I wanted done. My color and cut were one of the best I had experienced in a long time. The salon setting is really nice with relaxing music playing, and everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. I also had my brows waxed and henna tinted so I am now a real fan of Jennifer Julia's Salon. read more

I went here twice for a haircut during Covid and loved it! They're doing such a great job taking precautions and everyone was masked up. The salon is spacious and very cute, my haircut both times was perfect , and everyone was so warm and friendly! I would always come back here. read more

I had a Brazilian, eyebrow & lip wax done with Laurelle aka Pocket & she's amazing. I've had Brazilian waxes at many other salons and she is by far the best, making sure to take care of everything with gentle care. I've never had eyebrow or lip waxing but my eyebrows have never looked this amazing! The salon itself is clean, bright, friendly & amazing with plenty of close parking. read more

I had a great experience here getting my first brazilian wax. Laurelle was very kind and knowledgeable and made me feel feel comfortable and at ease. I am taking away a star because a couple days later, with vacation a few days away, I am noticing that they are quite a lot of missed spots that I have to either shave or tweeze which is what I was trying to avoid in the first place. read more

I had an appointment with Becca, she is absolutely amazing! She took her time to listen to my request and take care of my hair. read more

Jennifer Julia Salon - Amazing hair appointment with Becca, she makes my hair so easy to style - Hair Salons Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I have been seeing someone for my hair care needs for awhile now. So as you can imagine I was devastated to hear that she was leaving the industry! What's a girl to do, when she has to scout out a new salon? With so many options, it can be painstaking to say the least. Enter: Jennifer Julia Salon. After reading fellow Yelper reviews, and stalking their Instagram for weeks, I decided to book an appointment. Becca was my stylist and she just GOT me. I explained that I'm not high maintenance and trying to grow, but needed a change (but not too much of a change.) I sound like a stylist's worst nightmare but Becca quickly got to work while we chatted about life and dogs. The outcome? I'm in LOVE! She has gained a new client and would recommend anyone looking for a change to her or the salon in general! Side note, all the stylists in the salon were super nice and friendly and wanted to make my experience a great one, start to finish. I'm already looking forward to another visit! read more

I recently moved to Buffalo and one thing I dread is finding a salon. Why? My hair can be a pain to deal with in salons. I really wanted to get my hair done to treat myself (birthday was few days ago). I looked at Yelp hoping to find the perfect salon. Insert Jennifer Julia Salon. First off, Marisa is hands down the best! She is amazing with her balayage technique! The fact that I hear from her saying "No, this isn't the color I want to achieve on her hair" and is working on my hair even harder to make sure I get the perfect color, I'm sold! Jennifer the owner is such a sweetheart, very kind! Very genuine and cares about hair and of course the clients as well. Prices are very affordable and I will absolutely come back in the future. Best of luck to the salon! read more

Great experience with Pocket! She was very kind and she answered all of my brow related questions before she suggested what services would be best for me.

I just moved to Buffalo in March and have been looking for a hairdresser. After a few bad experiences I turned to Yelp for some hairdresser feedback. Jennifer is amazing! Fun: Jennifer and the staff are a group awesome girls. Jennifer is someone that you genuinely like talking to. She is really sweet and funny. She also listens and is able to translate what you say into the hairstyle you want. Repeat: Yes! I have found my Buffalo hairdresser! Food: N/A Drinks: As soon as you arrive you are offered a beverage. Coffee, tea, water etc. Likes: 1) My hair!!! I was busy chatting with the girls and suddenly caught a glimpse of my hair style, and stopped talking because I was speechless. I have never seen my hair look that good. 2) It's a clean, beautifully decorated, small salon with two chairs. Very friendly atmosphere. The staff make you feel really welcome. It feels like you are hanging out with your girl friends (but in a professional way). 3) Business hours. They are open at night (some nights) which is great for booking something that fits your schedule. Dislikes: None. The experience and the hair cut was perfect. Price: Cut and style $43! Great price and value for your money to have Jennifer do your hair. Parking: On street. So happy I found a stylist I like and trust to do a great job. Thank you Jennifer and thank you Yelp! :) read more

As a man, I've never been much of one to frequent salons. For most of my life, I was perfectly contented going to Super Cuts, Fantastic Sams, and any number of other economical yet utilitarian establishments. Then I became privy to Jennifer Julia Salon. Located right in the heart of the Elmwood Village, it is centrally located in the cosmopolitan heart of Buffalo. Upon arrival, I was made very comfortable with a mimosa whilst sitting in the warmly lit waiting area. Jennifer was the consummate professional in assisting me in deciding what should be done with my, what was at the time, unruly hair. Upon heeding her creative input, all the while being welcomed to offer my own input, Jennifer crafted my hair into what is easily the finest it's ever looked. I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome and can't imagine myself going anywhere else to get my hair done henceforth. Two thumbs way up! read more

I love love love my hair.. Becca did an amazing job and made me feel gorgeous again.. i havent had this good of a cut and color in a really long time.. so glad it was recommended to me!!! read more

I had such an amazing experience here! As someone who has been searching for a great stylist, Marisa was AWESOME. She was honest, fun and was accommodating. They made sure I got exactly what I was looking for, I had so much fun and left feeling amazing. read more

Everyone is really friendly but I'm disappointed with the result. I wanted ashy blonde highlights I showed her a pic. After 3 washes I got no result. For the price I paid my hair looks the same all she added were brassy orange streaks and my greys are still showing. Update: After reaching out to me, Jennifer and her stylists fixed my hair. They took their time with me. I'm really happy with the result this time. Much appreciated!! :) read more

Everyone in this salon is so friendly. I had my first appointment here last week, had a cut and color by Marissa. I couldn't be more in love. She is phenomenal! So personable and she is such an artist when it comes to cutting. This is my new salon. I'm so happy I found this place!! read more

I planned a big event, and on the day of the event I decided it would be quicker for me to get my hair done than to do it myself. I called when they opened and they were able to fit me in with a stylist. The place is super cute, and everyone's super friendly. The stylist really cared about what I wanted and she was patient with me when I asked for "modifications" to the style. They also offered me mimosas to calm me down for the event :) read more

That is the best salon place I ever had! I've been looking and looking for the best one. This one. I just can't explain how to make a customer very happy! They are fabulous work! More than 100/10. I mean it! It's worth it! read more

I can honestly say this was the best salon experience I've ever had ( I made this Yelp account just to give them a review!) I made my appointment a few days out for a late Tuesday morning (online booking is great!) The salon is comfortably small and incredibly charming, with great background music too! My appointment was with Jen but her and Marisa both worked on my hair. I came in with a just a vague idea that I wanted to take my strawberry blonde hair a little darker and she came up with an amazing idea to mix a coppery color and run it though my roots and blend it out with my current lighter color. The color is so dynamic and unique - I've never been so happy with it! I was so impressed she took the time to be creative and thoughtful instead of just giving me what I asked for! I actually can't wait to go back! I've gotten so so many compliments on my hair and I can't recommend this awesome business enough. Jennifer even sent me a thank you note for coming in which I think is the sweetest thing! read more

I can't express enough how much I love this salon and the ladies that work there! Jen Fontana is the queen of brow shaping and there's no one else I'd trust my face with! In the past few years I've been able to get my hair styled by all of the ladies and I've never once left disappointed. I have long, curly, coarse hair that I know isn't fun to work with, but they make it seem like a breeze! Marissa is the first stylist in a VERY long time that has made my hair look exponentially better every time I go. I am always thrilled with my cut and color and you can't beat the conversations/fun we have while I'm in her chair. Everyone that works there is truly lovely and extremely talented. I also come here any time I need my hair blown out and styled for special events, so I know to book well in advance to make sure I don't miss out! Highly recommend!! read more
