I have been going to JLS for years! My dad lived down the street and when my daughter was born it was easy to drop her off at his house, walk to JLS for some me time plus then I wouldn't be away from her that long. Little did I know when I first went what a nice establishment I was walking into. It is trendy, clean and has a chic vibe throughout the facility. I was paired up with Kim. Kim is super friendly and i just give her free reign with my hair. She knows what she is doing! I have been oing to her for 8 years and she has never lead me down the wrong path with the color or cut. If I am her first appointment she asks me if I want a coffee on her way in. Now she cuts my daughters hair and my daughter LOVES her! JLS is now in a new location but not too far from their last location! They have done a great job with renovations. Still chic, trendy and clean. They now have a parking lot (super helpful!) A bigger waiting area and in general more space. I have to say, I am so glad JLS was at the end of my father's street! read more

JLS Hair Design - Saturday at the salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Jennell was fabulous. She scheduled me quickly and was very engaging. She answered all my questions about how I might want to change my hair and what would work for me and my hair type. Best of all I was very happy with my hair and look forward to going back. Celeste C. read more

I love my haircut. I have long and think hair. she the only sty I know that knows layers. She cut exactly like the picture I had, thanks a million. read more

The new space, in a repurposed fire station, is gorgeous! Beautiful chandeliers and exposed brick. And there's plenty of parking! I haven't been offered a glass of wine here, though... My stylist is Kristin, who is so friendly and warm, and an expert with curly hair - and color. She's a great listener who responds to what you ask for, but who is honest if she thinks it might not work for you. I've never had a disappointing or "unfortunate" haircut from her, and with my hair that's saying something for sure. Kristin says curly hair blow outs relax her, and she manages the task for me quickly and with great skill. No burnt ears or scalp, no frizzy ends and flat iron only upon request. I've left with straight hair that has body and motion - and Kardashian flat, when I've asked for that too. You won't regret this! read more

ALANNA IS AMAZING!!! I always look so forward to seeing her. She's so sweet & we always have the best chats!! But above all she always gives me exactly what I asked for. She actually surpasses what I wanted and makes it look even better than I had hoped! I always get compliments on my hair, even from total strangers, every time I get my hair done with her. She is truly an artist... If you are looking for someone to do your hair who will give you exactly what you want then look no further because Alanna is the best! read more

JLS Hair is a new location in Johnston. I love the new place! But what I love even more is Rachael-- she is amazing! I feel like a new person when I leave there. Every time she gives a great cut and style. I highly recommend her! I can't say enough good things about Rachael's professionalism and talent. If you are looking for a new salon, put Rachael at the top of your list! read more

JLS Hair Design - Hacked - Hair Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

To be honest I don't even know where to start. I have been coming into JLS for the last year and I swear, I feel like a movie star every time I come out of there. They salvaged my hair from an absolute worst case scenario "professional bleaching". My hair recovered thanks to Brittany and Kristen. I got sick of the platinum blonde and went for a warm chestnut yesterday with Kristen and I've never felt so happy with a hair appointment. Kristen was realistic about my goals and expectations, wanted to make sure that I was taken care every step of the way and like mentioned previously, made me feel like a rockstar coming out of a firehouse -- quite literally. BIG SHOUT OUT TO QUEEN KRISTEN AND THE JLS TEAM, YOU GUYS ARE THE SH*T! read more

What a mess. I came here as a new client for a hair cut. First I was taken back 20 mins late. The gal doing my hair (I believe her name is Kelly? Could be wrong) left me three times to work on her other client. I understand some stylists can handle double booking. That's fine. She clearly can't. Between pulling out foils, shampooing and toning... it was clear she needed my appointment time for her other client. I was far from a valued client. My stylist Seemed extremely novice. She didn't cut any layers in the front... I think she forgot as she went to assist her other client. My layers in the back are uneven at best. I had to leave with wet hair because I didn't have all day to sit there while she catered to her other clients. Will never be back. They advertise being a little bit of Hollywood in Rhode Island. Hardly. It felt like I was at a beauty school. read more

My favorite hair salon. They have an excellent group of hairstylist working there and a friendly staff. They have a very great looking shop in an old firehouse. This is one of my favorite businesses in Rhode Island. The best haircut I have ever had. read more

I recently moved to the area and was searching for a last minute Sunday hair appointment. I called the salon soon after it opened and left a message asking for a same day appointment. I doubted I'd hear back but within an hour I had a call back an appointment scheduled for later that afternoon. The salon was easy to find using GPS and there's a parking lot right outside. The receptionist and the salon owner, Jess, greeted me when I arrived and Jess even offered me an herbal tea while I waited for my stylist, Kristen. The salon is very nicely decorated and the reception area is comfortable and quiet. Kristin was excellent! She took the time to thoroughly understand the type of haircut I wanted and the level of maintenance I was comfortable with. She also checked in with me regularly during the cut to explain her technique and make sure what she was doing was okay. I'm extremely happy with my cut and booked a follow up appointment when I checked out. I am so glad I found a great local salon and stylist! read more

Love this place! Tons of parking space, very clean and friendly staff. So glad i changed stylist. Jessica N. understands what i want for my hair read more

OMG completely over the top experience!!!! Kelly is the best! took me in with a horrible mess from another salon and made a work of art! Completely greatfull! Super professional, yet fun, experienced and made me feel awesome! her personality and experience made my first visit just amazing! Could not be more greatful to Kelly thanks so much!!!!! i will see you soon i know! :) read more

Kelly is by far the best stylist I've ever met in my life. She is brave, patient and very knowledgeable. She listens to what I want instead of deciding my hair fate for me (that used to happen all the time) She is flexible and honest. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does because she never pushes for more than what is necessary. I've had many hair ventures with Kelly and she has managed to always make me feel beautiful. From blonde to black to red and back. Kelly nailed it every time and my hair is as healthy as ever. Thanks for keeping me confident Kelly! read more

Went for my first time today and Lauren did an amazing job! Everyone there is so kind and uplifting, and my hair came out AMAZING!! Definitely found my new hair salon! read more

See all

I booked an appointment with Kim on Monday, I wasn't familiar with the area, but willing to drive because I saw her work on social media. The salon is bigger than it appears. Very cute and girly vibe with sparkly mirrors and Chandeliers. Kim sat me down right away and I showed her exactly what I wanted -via Pinterest. She said it wasn't an issue. It took some time for my hair to develop while I waited she finished up her other client; asking if I'd like some wine, water coffee etc. after she did the bayalage she cut and washed/styled my hair. I can't say it enough. She did exactly what I asked for. The color looks beyond amazing and I'm so in love! Thanks so much Kim!! I'll be a returning customer. read more

JLS Hair Design - Hair Salons Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

I was told this was the best place around, I was sadly mistaken. Your better off not having your hair fried off by snobby wannabes who have no hair on their own damn heads. If they could shave you bald they would in a heart beat. All they do is gossip and talk amongst themselves about who's doin who. "If you know what I mean" Not to mention the unnecessary up charge they nonchalantly add to to your bill unexpectedly. I know its tough out there and you have to pay your rent and all, but that is absolutely unprofessional to put your own personal problems on other peoples wallets. If you want your hair burned off by a burn out then come to JLS! You'll never have to worry about a haircut again! Advice from your friendly neighbor! read more

Ummm, the fact that this place is in an old fire station is pretty awesome. The salon is in the garage and they can open the garage doors to 1. Let some fresh air through and 2. Show all the passer-bys how beautiful the salon is. I only come here when I visit my in-laws once a year from California. When I do, I get my hair done by the talented and beautiful Brittany Geremia. She will always be straight with you on how a process will work on your hair and talk you down from a ledge if you walk in with dark hair and want pink hair STAT! She's been doing hair for a while and you can tell she loves her job. She has now started renting a chair so check her out! She's tagged plenty on the JLS Instagram account (you need to follow) and she has her own where she has her business info. She also allows booking online which is so easy! read more

Love my hairstylist Ashley :) the place is so cute and glam. Looks like the salon is full of talented people! read more

I decided to try this salon as I'd heard about it taking over the firehouse and it had mostly good reviews. I'm so glad I did. I'd been looking for a new stylist since growing dissatisfied with my last one, and I'm so happy with what Lauren did. I felt listened to and she gave good advice on what would work best for me. I'm so happy with my fun purple lowlights! Everyone in the salon was so friendly and it was a very nice vibe, nothing elitist or snooty, very welcoming. I really love that it's in a converted firehouse and still feels glam! I will be a repeat customer for sure! read more

I found this place on instagram and have never dyed me hair before and read good reviews( so i thought). When i went to my first appointment i asked for caramel balayage but basically just got a huge streak of light brown hair in my bangs and a couple streaks in the back. i went back again after 3 months to see if they could redeem themselves and was disappointed again. asked for the same caramel balayage and got the blondest highlights in my very dark brown/black hair. it was decent but not what i asked for. when i got home and checked my hair some more i noticed half of my head didn't get any toner so it was pure bleached blonde yellow/orange hair. when i told Rachael (the girl who did my hair) she said she noticed it when she was blowing my hair out! she noticed it and didn't even tell me. never coming here again. you shouldn't either. read more

I get my hair cut and blow dryed by Lauren and she really makes me look like a movie star every time. I have extremely thick curly hair and if you have hair like mine you know exactly how hard it is to find a good hair dresser. JLS is truly a blessing. Everyone is so kind and always greets me at the door with a smile. I couldnt rave about JLS anymore! read more

Recently moved to the area and needed a new hair salon. They had a good January deal for a free cut with a color. Love the results! Beautiful clean place, and everyone is super nice. read more

Katie is the best! She is more than happy to talk to you about what she is doing, how the product, technique, treatment is fixing or treating my hair. She is friendly and so knowledgeable about hair. Now about the location- JLS hair design is located in an old fire station house and the decor and style of the place makes you feel like you're in an exclusive resort. The exposed brick, vault ceilings, crystal chandeliers and friendly staff set the mood. I would highly suggest checking this place out- Katie did wonders for my hair and my mood. Very reasonably priced too! Less than $150 for highlights, cut, toner and a blowout. read more

Kim will always and forever be my favorite hair dresser. She is so knowledgeable and makes sure you leave with exactly what you wanted. I recently moved and am literally considering flying back just to get my hair done by Kim again. Thank you for taking me from black to brown to blonde to brown and back again to blonde, you're the best. read more

Jessica has been doing my hair for over 10 years and I always leave looking and feeling fabulous! The salon is gorgeous and all of the workers are friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are on the higher side however not different than most salons and you are always satisfied with your results. read more

GO HERE! First time ever & my experience from the moment I walked into the salon until the time I left feeling beautiful was amazing. Every member of the staff was friendly & you could tell it was a fun work environment. Now lets get down to my hair... It has been over processed in the past due to me box dying my hair when I was young, to stylists giving me unrealistic expectations when it came to lightening my dark natural hair. Sara took the time to look at my hair & find the best toner for a natural balayage but the color still pops. I LOVE it. I even felt comfortable enough to have her chop off 5+ inches & add some long layers. I recommend Sara to anyone. She's talented & slays the balayage, & is super kind & friendly. Would recommend this salon to anyone. read more

I was feeling down in the dumps about my hair being so lifeless due to my horrendous work schedule and too much time in between appointments. So lucky for me I found a salon with the hours that worked for my schedule and that wasn't even the best part; my hair was! From the parking lot to the finished product of sample products at the end of my visit I was thrilled with my results. David, my stylist was professional, experienced and did exactly what I asked him to. My color and cut came out flawless and was done in a way I can maintain and still look fabulous. As a "blonde" it's not always easy to find someone who knows the struggle of fighting those pesky roots. With highlights and low lights and a maintenance plan I have already scheduled my next appointment. I was extremely pleased and a week later still very satisfied. Nice salon, clean, current, comfortable and everyone was walking out with a great style from well styled professionals. I would highly recommend this salon and David to anyone! Go here! read more

David did wonders with my hair, he is helping move away from this white-yellow thing i had going on and more towards the balayage look i wanted. he let me know it would be a process and didn't give me false hope which i so appreciated and after my first visit I'm loving it so far!! read more

I've " salon hopped" for the past couple of years before JLS. I cannot say enough about my stylist and this salon. The entire staff which was present during my appointment was very professional, well trained, and worked extremely well as a team. My specific stylist performed the most thorough consultation I've experienced thus far. It can be such a chore to find a stylist who is willing to spend the appropriate time with any client to achieve the desired result ( of the client )! Thank you, Lauren! read more

I've been going to see Sue Ashworth for over 2 years now and she never disappoints! She is hands down the only person I trust with my hair. She is the best at doing blonde, her haircuts are always perfect and she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! Highly, highly recommend her! read more

I love JLS Hair Design! It's a bit of a drive from where I live but my hair has never been so healthy and vibrant! The experience is professional, laid back, and comfortable. Definitely recommend these ladies to anyone looking for a boost in hair confidence! I go to Jessie N and always love what she does for me! read more

Love this salon and so glad that my stylist David is there! Always getting you in on time and spend the time getting your hair just right!

This salon deserves 15 stars!! This salon is just Fabulous !! From reception to hair stylists. All So wonderful The salon is beautiful. This fire station was my home away from home when I was young. Im so happy she took it over! I go to Jess the owner and she is top notch in my book! She's an artist! She creates the best hairstyles color blowouts etc etc. She does it all. Literally her whole staff is awesome! She only accepts the best stylists and that they are !!! You have to check it out. Waiting area so nice. They carry top name products. You feel like family there. They can't do enough for you!! The best cut color etc you'll ever get. Even if you just need a wash and blow out. This is your place! Nails tanning waxing etc. check out their website. You won't be disappointed! I promise!!! read more

I've been to JLS to buy products before. They are reasonably priced compared to other salons. I became a client earlier this week because I needed some TLC to my hair and to feel good after a horrendous week (treat yo' self!). I was skeptical to start with a new hairdresser after the one I had been going to for years lost my trust by ruining the color I had in my hair. I called pretty last minute but was thankfully booked with David the next day. Unfortunately I was on a time constraint since I had something I had to attend later in the day. They booked me for a solid 3 hours and I was absolutely given the best treatment possible. I have a ton of hair. David worked miracles and tamed my wild, long, thick, dead off colored hair. He got it looking natural, gorgeous and healthy. Not to mention the other staff made me feel great by complimenting his work. David is an asset to their team- totally sweet, down to earth and hard working. He never made me feel neglected or my hair was in serious danger like I have felt previously in other salons. I've already gotten a ton of compliments on my hair. Is that not the greatest? I am absolutely going back and looking forward to my next session with David the hair wizard read more

Had a very nice experience here. I don't often go to salons, only when I really need professional help with a cut or color. I've never been a regular customer and often have felt awkward in salons. But not here. Very welcoming and professional, it was a pleasure and a treat. My hair looks and feels great. Had a pedi too and it was also a good experience and all services I used were affordable/competitively priced. The salon was clean, stylish and efficient. I will be going back. read more

I'm so happy with my stylist, every time I go Kelly is able to make me happy. I went from long hair to short and couldn't be more happier. The best !!! read more

Love this salon so much! The new location in the firehouse is absolutely amazing! The girls are super welcoming and friendly from the moment you walk in the door. I would feel comfortable seeing any of the stylist there because they all do such an amazing job! Highly highly recommend you check them out if you haven't yet! :) read more
