I booked online! Always a win for me. Not much into phone calls and the awkward convo back and forth trying to find a time that works for me and is open. The first stylist I tried to book with got sick and had to cancel but texted me directly to let me know. So I rebooked and went to Richard. Sorry Nicholas. I was in and taken to the chair promptly, quick wash and ready to go. Richard commented that my hair had a wave to it and I was like "that's just cause it's up in the bun all day" but no - my hair apparently can get a nice wavy curl to it, Richard recommended styling products and methods, talked me through everything he was doing - the length was chosen between us both and meant to make the most of my thin hair and cut was meant to grow out well. He asked me questions about what I liked and didn't like about my hair and definitely was listening. He also chatted me up in the chair - conversation was easy. He had a great welcoming vibe. Price was solid. I definitely will go back - and like I always say I will try and make this more of a habit. But then again, I know myself well enough to know it might be a full year before I'm getting another haircut. But Richard listened when I said I'm terrible at cutting my hair regularly and I feel like I've been well set up with what I left with. read more

I don't like to leave an unfavorable review but this truly warranted it. I made a hair appointment for Saturday in advantage. I watch my grandson on Saturdays so I made arrangements for a babysitter. I received a text message stating Nicholas had a cancellation and if I wanted to arrive earlier than my 3:30 appointment. Well I actually arrived there at 2:30 just to be told they had to cancel my appointment. If this is how they do business and have such little respect and regard for a customers, I would rather go elsewhere as this poor behavior does not inspire trustworthiness. Do better!! read more

Jon Richard Salon - Communication I received on Saturday - Hair Salons Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

My hairdresser was nice but I only wanted a quick even cut not a bunch of upcharges like shampoo and blow out I never asked for and was pressured into and ended up paying $70+ for the simplest cut and I wouldn't have even left a review but after inspection the cut was so uneven! she spent more time trying to chat and do a blowout than the actual cut. Barely made sure it was even on both sides so now there is chunks of hair that are uneven. I got better service at super cuts for half the price. At least super cuts made sure it was even. And then decided to pressure me into taking pictures which I was super uncomfortable with but I just wanted to get out. I'm too much of a people pleaser to say much but like the blow out didn't even last the night. I really wish I went somewhere else. Price read more

I had a beautiful wash and blowout from Shyanna. I broke my wrist and my hair needed some TLC since I've not been able to do it myself. I almost feel asleep lol such a nice experience. read more

If you have or want short hair , go to Bran! He is amazing!! Trust me not everyone can cut short hair but he is fantastic ! Update :It's been two years since I've written my review and I'm still going to Bran! He proves every time I come to the salon that he knows how to cut short hair super well ! My highlights also look gorgeous even when it's been two months since my last appointment! read more

I swear by this place and the Ouidad curly hair cut! I found this place by chance and I am so happy I did! Richard is the only on in the area certified to give this special hair cut for curly haired people like myself and it's amazing. The technique is so cool to watch and totally customized for curly haired people. I have had a lot of awful haircuts in my life and it's understandable because cutting curly hair is SO far from the same as cutting straight hair. I would highly recommend Richard and this cut to my fellow curly que ladies! I've never had a problem either overall at the salon. I never wait long upon arriving, the staff are friendly when calling to schedule and the place is always clean! read more

This has been my go-to since the first time I came here! Brianna does the best balayage, it seriously looks amazing every single time. Super nice staff and beautiful salon. read more

I used to come here to see Rachael and she's super sweet and great with hair. I usually would have her dye my hair (blonde foil highlights and it always came out looking like an ad out of a magazine. I also had Rachel do my eyelashes for about a year and she was great with these as well. She was also super sweet and we always had something to talk about! I haven't been back in a few years and I'm not sure if Rachel even works there anymore but the ambiance and atmosphere of this salon was great as well. A bit on the pricey side but my hair is course and difficult and a lot of people struggle with dying it and end up having to tone it but Rachel always knew what she was doing and my hair always looked perfect! read more

Loved my haircut they had me right in. did a beautiful job definitely going back great atmosphere.

This review is specifically for the darling hairstylist Sheila: best hair-cut and color in Rhode Island! Sweet and talented, what more can you ask for? I have fine, curly hair that can be styled both curly and straight. Because of this, I need a very particular hair cut: a cut that looks good BOTH straight and curly and gives me volume. I found out Jon Richard Salon offers 20% off your first appointment (check their website!!!). After reading reviews online elsewhere, I decided to make an appointment with Sheila. LOVE Sheila! She honestly gave me the best cut I've ever had. She gave my fine hair shape and volume, and my new color is natural but fun. She also helpfully answered all my questions about my hair and gave me tips on what products to buy. What was great, too, she didn't push me to buy from the salon. She recommended a cheap brush and dryer on Amazon, even! And I totally bought them and love it. My only gripe would be the price tag: my partial weave and cut was $115 even AFTER the discount. I am actually wondering if they didn't include the discount in my final total, because I had called ahead of time and was quoted a lower price. Ladies and gentlemen, always ask for a receipt! Other than that, the Salon experience was great, and I am definitely returning! read more

I have been going to Richard for several years. Simply put, you will get a Boston level precision cut (and experience) for half the price here. The salon is really neat inside in addition to being very clean. Have always been accommodated on short notice too. I found it kind of funny that all the bad reviews on here are from people with Groupons...take it from someone who has been a Yelp Elite and is not just making a profile to leave a single review about a deal they were not happy with. This salon is worth a shot- the quality is high and the prices are reasonable. read more

Ok... So I decided to give this place another chance.... I called to make an appointment mentioning I had a Groupon for a haircut (all I wanted was just a blow-dry, which according to their prices was twice as expensive than my Groupon). They told me to go in and that there were any problems. So I was pretty impressed considering I called at noon and they were able to give me an appointment at 5pm same day. Once I got there they told me I couldn't use it cause I wasn't a new client. I told them I mentioned on the phone I had already been there... They didn't want to hear it. I left and I AM def NOT going back this time read more

Update time! 2 years later, and I'm still a happy client. Richard has been my stylist since 2013, and has taken me from long hair, to Audrey-inspired short looks, to the infamous Lena Dunham pixie, and back to shoulder-length. Every transition has been perfect---while pixie grow-out is a truly a test of one's patience (and bobby pin MacGyver-ing!), I've never been sent from the salon with a less-than-perfect style. What I appreciate most is the forethought that goes into Richard's work. He knows that, between my 24 hr gym-hair-don't-care philosophy and hectic schedule, simplicity is key, and always manages to create a look that is fresh, polished, and lasts through my 10-12 week breaks between appointments. The rest of the staff is lovely, as well, and so accommodating. From booking changes, to the occasional free cupcake, to the fact that I'm greeted warmly and can expect consistency regardless of the stylist, JR Salon gets my vote AND my recommendation to everyone I know. read more

This was a nice small salon. We are new to the Cranston area and purchased a few Groupons to try this place out. The reception staff was excellent and our stylist was excellent. I received a great cut, color and style. My other half received the best haircut in a while. I am very pleased with the richness of the color and my stylist seemed extremely knowledgeable. They are a bit more pricey than some of the other salon prices we have seen online for basic services. If their waxing and spray tan prices were a wee bit lower, I would be more inclined to get everything done there vs. running to different locations to get different things done. I would have given them 5 stars if they had better parking and prices were about $5-10 dollars lower on certain services. They have very limited parking in the back after 5PM. I had to park my Jaguar in the Burger King parking lot with a bunch of thugs hanging out and looking us up and down. This made me kind of nervous. Other than that, it was a good experience. Update: I called back to get a quote for highlights on the phone. They could not give me this and said they did not have a set price and that I would have to come in for the service to see how much it would be. I found this to be curious and asked the receptionist if she was sure as every other place was able to tell me via the phone. She confirmed, this was the way they run things there. This does not make me so keen to want to go back. Nice people, but I am not going to waste my time or anyone else to go through all the trouble to go there and sit in a chair to find out I have to walk out if the hair appointment will be more than my car payment. There are lots of options in Cranston and with the lack of parking this did not impress me so I have downgraded it to 3 stars. read more

Excellent establishment. Professional, creative, and welcoming. They've got it all! Ask for Liz Paola, she's amazing! A true talent! read more

Every time I get my hair done by Brianna I always leave the salon feeling my best self. She really knows how to perfect my hair and the color amazingly. I get compliments after compliments and all of my friends book with her. Girl you rock!! Thank you for blessing my hair and for really knowing what is best for me read more

One of the most disappointing services I've had with a stylist and color "expert". I was explicit: shape my hair, don't take off length. I repeated myself a few times, to no avail emphasizing how slowly my hair grows. Snip snip snip--3 inches at least, gone. Then the color specialist: I told her and she even repeated--just a few highlights so it pops--not my whole head. She did so much I looked like a redhead. To her credit when I told her I was unhappy she added back in my natural color but I was there for 4 hours, spent over $250 and my hair is too short and sorta colored how I want it. They're friendly people who don't know how to listen to a customer--or at least not this one. I had heard such good things. Oh well, not going back. Very dissatisfied. At least hair grows back, but I have I retreated hair and lost my patient pandemic growth. Grrrrr. read more

This place will give you the haircut, style and color that you are asking for! I stumbled into Jon Richard salon one late morning after getting a recommendation from one of my friends. Initially walking into the salon I was greeted with a very professional looking environment that was fresh and clean. The receptionist at the desk was cheerful and immediately helped me when I walked in! They were able to set me up for a walk-in appointment without any issue and I only waited 5 minutes but they will always recommend to make an appointment before hand!! My stylist was Bran or Brandan and I have to say that he is a "jack-of-all-trades" kind of guy! He was able to give me my best haircut and has consistently given me quality haircuts and colors since I started going to him! The first time He cut my hair he made it super comfortable because getting your haircut from a new stylist is always nerve-racking. He is immensely knowledgeable about his profession and knows a lot of great tips to keeping my hair looking it's best without forcing product into my hands. Very understanding about what kind of haircut I'm actually looking for! He knows how to do great skin-fades and layering. I have recommended multiple family members and friends to Bran to get their hair cut, styled or colored and they have made this salon their #1 salon. With this salon being in the center of Warwick and Providence, it is favorable as well for me because I don't have to travel downtown to get a quality haircut and it's easy to get to! Also it is super easy to set up an appointment with any of their professional stylists. All their stylists want you to have the hairstyle you want which I can appreciate thoroughly. I would recommend anyone to Jon Richard if they want a salon they can go to for many years and still get the style that you want! read more

I initially came here to use a Groupon that I had purchased. I was scheduled to see Taylor. I am currently growing out my hair and needed someone who was experienced in short hair . I needed to tame the mess I had on my head and she was the right person for the job. We spoke and decided to transform my mess into a pixie cut. She said it would take a little bit of time to get the exact look just because my hair was much shorter. She cleaned it up and I have recently been back. It's looking great thanks to Taylor. She is super nice and does amazing work. read more

After a couple of last minute cancellation from Sudan of Lana's Beauty Salon in Cranston, I found this place in Yelp. Figured I will go here instead since they have a promotion going and I have to say, I wouldn't go anywhere else! I met my hairstylist- Bran who is such a sweetheart. I was scared and skeptical however, Bran was honest about the steps and process and was sooo sweet that my 6 hours hair procedure flew like nothing. Not only do I now have a new hairstylist who I can trust with my hair, I also now have a friend. read more

I was treated to a manicure and pedicure by a dear friend, for my birthday. But I never in a million years could have been prepared for the pampering I was in for. First up a pedicure by Nicole. Fantastically relaxing, she worked miracles on my tired feet. Then a gel manicure by Claire. Claire freehand painted the design on my nails on the fly. She jazzed my fingers up! I hope I'm able to share pictures of the phenomenal job. Claire is truly a nail artist who you can tell lives her job. This salon is a breath of fresh air. When I spoke to the owner to praise the experience, he was thrilled and yet told me...he's part of the team rather than the boss. Class act. No ego in this salon, just top notch service. Nail services are in a separate lower level. So peaceful and enjoyable. This is my go to place now. Thank you Claire, Nicole, Jon and the entire team. You Rock! read more

I know you've probably heard this before but I don't normally right reviews but the fabulous experience I had with Brianna warrants this little excerpt. She was very knowledgeable, attentive to detail, personable and most importantly, gave me exactly what I wanted. She did a mixture of balayage, highlights and root touch up in addition to a much needed trim. AMAZING! read more

I've been here twice. My first appointment was for a cut only and Danielle was my stylist. She was awesome. The cut was awesome. I loved it! Danielle made this salon worthy of 5 stars! At the time I was living in Ohio and traveling to Providence often to visit my now husband. The first appointment with Danielle was in August and I wasn't coming back to Providence until December that year. She gave me her card and we planned to do another cut plus a color in December. When I returned and called to make an appointment she wasn't available when I needed to get in, so I made an appointment with another stylist. Okay- so here's how the 2nd visit went: I arrived, waited a sec, then was led up these STEEP stairs (with no hand rail) to the upper salon. The girl who colored my hair told me that she only had time for the color and when she was done I would go see Jon for the cut. (Sorry yelpers, I forgot her name) Anyway, the color was eh, I hardly noticed the highlights I had requested. Also, I only requested a parcial highlight and she didn't listen and did my entire head, so I had to pay more than I had planned. She was friendly, but not overly nice, so I didn't really feel that comfortable in her chair. When my color was done, she shuffled me back down the steep stairs ( I mention these because I have a slight issue with balance and PWD's or the elderly might have trouble getting up and down these without proper assistance) to Jon. He was super chatty and nice. The cut was okay. I didn't hate it or anything, but I didn't leave there with the confidence that Danielle inspired. I like this place, and in a pinch I would go back, but I am still looking for a salon that has an entire staff that is quality. read more

I want to thank the wonderful Flavia at this salon for giving my hair color. She was very clear on what she was going to do and was able to deliver on my requests! Flavia is very nice and I recommend asking for her! read more

Jon Richard Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I am so disappointed with my visit to Jon Richard salon that I am shaking. I purchased a $40 groupon (apparently my first mistake) for a "cut, style, and single-process color". I made the appointment for the next day making sure to tell them I had the groupon and would like a cut and color... they were very accommodating and had a lot of openings available which was great. When I arrived the staff were very pleasant and I didn't have to wait very long. My stylist was Allison, and when I told her about the groupon and what I wanted to have done ( a very slight trim and to go a few shades darker than my natural hair color) she told me that unfortunately the groupon can be a bit misleading and "single process color" actually only means a "root touch up".... well my hair is not dyed and I didn't need a root touch up so I told her to just go ahead with the trim. She said that for $55 more I could get the all-over color that I wanted which I found to be a little steep so I said no thank you. Allison was super sweet and apologetic about this and offered me a deep conditioning treatment instead of the "single process color". I really didn't even want the conditioning treatment because I have greasy hair as it is and my hair is super silky already. But I said OK because at least that way I could feel like I was getting my moneys worth... kind of.... Anyways 2 and a half hours later my hair looks almost identical to how it did before the appointment... except for all this gunk in it that actually makes it look dirtier! Allison did her best and was extremely sweet and I tipped her well because it was not her fault that the groupon was so misleading. nevertheless I am beyond pissed. I feel like I wasted my time and money and was taken advantage of. I have NEVER in my life heard of a "single process color" being a "root touch up". Everyone knows that a single process color is a single all-over hair dye. I paid over 50 dollars for a simple trim that I could have gotten at Supercuts for 15 bucks and 10 minutes of my time. This place completely ruined my day off. THANKS! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Jon since I was in high school (so...roughly 15 years). I have pretty light, thick hair which I always had an issue with other people butchering in the past. Always happy when I leave here, though. Prices are very resonable. The staff is always nice (and nice to look at), and they have their own product line now. I use the gel and yeah it costs $20 a tube but it holds incredibly well!! It even holds the following day for a slightly messy "bed head" look (if you like that...and, not gonna lie, I think I can rock). It also smells pretty good. read more

Great atmosphere! Sat in the bar both times! Awesome cocktail menu--- had the Italian Mojito and the California burger. I've been here twice already.... great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Best way to describe my experience at Jon Richard Salon is that it was excellent. Jonathan cut my hair perfect. I have never had a permanent place to get my hair cut, but now I do! A great haircut and a great conversation. read more

Great experience, friendly staff. Super haircut by Richard. If you have curly hair this is your place. Salons opening in Newport & Providence 2016 read more

I had a groupon for a blow out. My stylist was Chelsea and she did an unbelievable job! I had the blowout done on a hot Friday afternoon and my hair is naturally curly. My hair has been straight for 5 days so far and I think I can go another day or two before I wash it again. She took her time and I would definitely go back. I did no get a haircut but for the blow out it was definitely worth it! read more

I have been coming to Jon Richard Salon for 7 years with Liz as my colorist and stylist and Laura as my esthetician. The atmosphere is always comfortable and the staff are welcoming. It is definitely a professional salon that takes pride in the education of the stylists and staying on top of the newest research and trends. I would highly recommend JRS to all my friends. Im sure you will not be disappointed. read more

I recently had my very curly hair cut by Liz in the EG Salon and I love it! The salon is gorgeous. It has a very upscale look but the staff was very friendly and pleasant. Liz washed and conditioned my hair without tangling it into a big mess. I love that she used ouidad products on my hair. She did exactly what I wanted even though I didn't describe it very well. I got so many compliments on my hair cut. Can't wait to go back for some color! read more

Got a groupon and went with my sister for a blow out. Wicked nice and clean! Desirae did a beautiful job on my hair. Definitely would recommend read more

My experience was different then the previous reviews. I purchased a groupon for 2 shellac manicures. I just had the first manicure and Jamie was awesome. I wanted a very specific design that I had a picture of and she replicated it perfectly. I like that the nail area is private and away from the noise of dryers, etc. Jamie and the manicure get 5 stars for sure, the only reason I gave it a 4 overall was because the time availability wasn't great. I guess that's understandable with a groupon and because it's the holidays. I've already booked the next manicure as well as a third and am looking forward to it! read more

I found this place after buying a Groupon for 2 shellac manicures. I was very pleased. It is clean, appointments are seen on time, and the woman who did my manicure was very thorough. She did a very nice job, it was my first time getting a shellac and she offered quite a bit of guidance. Since then I went to another salon and realized how good she really was! Unfortunately they do not have enough parking, you may have to park in the burger king lot immediately next door. read more

I have been going to this salon for several years, and I will never go anywhere else. My first stylist was Liz, and now Chelsea does my hair. Both girls are amazing! My hair is very thick and coarse, and my color is always exactly how I want it, and the cut is always spot on. Every once in a while I want to do something different, and Chelsea always does exactly what I was hoping for. The atmosphere is relaxing and all the employees are so friendly. I recommend this salon to all my friends and family. Thanks Chelsea and Jon Richard Salon! read more

Danielle has been doing my hair for a little over 2 years and I coudn't be happier. When I go in for my appointments I am her main focus and my color is wonderful. She does hi-lites and low-lites along with a cut. I receive more compliments than ever before. If you are looking for a new stylist you should definately book an appt. with Danielle. OMG her blow outs are great you walk out feeling and looking amazing. PS. Bring a little cash with you the Salon does not put tips on credit cards. read more

I get compliments on my hair all the time--and I owe it to my stylist, Sheila, at the Jon Richard Salon. She is amazing at what she does, and I am always satisfied. Almost all of my friends (and my mom and my sister) now all go to her as well! When your hair consistently looks so good that your friends, family, and co-workers follow you to your stylist, that's a sign of talent! And she doesn't discriminate, her men's cuts are also top-notch (my boyfriend, brother, and male friends go to her for a cut faithfully). The salon is centrally located, and is comfortable inside, with a simplistically modern touch. They even just came out with their own personalized line of products! Oh--and take this advice from a pasty-white, sensitive-skinned Irish girl: if you are looking for an even spray tan for your next event, Laura is the girl to see! She uses the best products, and really takes her time. Same for her waxing and facials-awesome. read more

Terrible. I go in to change the color of my hair to a reddish brown color. I LOVE the color in the swatch book, but the stylist says she thinks it won't look good on me. I thank hr for her opinion but I insist on the color. So she gives me brown hair. Says I will love it, but guess what? I DONT!!! I understand you go to stylist school and spend big bucks to learn how to do what I need done to my hair, but these stylists don't realize that this is MY hair, and if I want it done a certain way, thats how I want it done! Mr. Richard learned the hard way this afternoon that I am the one with the cash and if I don't get what I ask for he dosn't get my cash. read more

I am very upset with this business. I heard they are a great salon, and purchased a Groupon for a mani-pedi, which expires Aug. 17. When I called for an appointment, they are completely booked until weeks after the expiration date, and will no longer honor the Groupon -- nor will they at least credit me the cost of the Groupon toward the full price of a mani-pedi. They've been totally unhelpful and now I am out 29 bucks! I have never encountered a business that would not honor a Groupon before. They told me I had a year to use the Groupon and should have called earlier -- that's really useful to know now. read more
