I've been going to Joseph Martin for many years and no matter the service, I've always been treated with the greatest respect. Whether you're one of the people going to get ready for a big night (or big day), you could do no better than Joseph Martin.
I came to JM because my esthetician was moving from Jose Eber to JM and where she goes, I go. Gladys Bogado learned the art of skin care from the best in the business (Aida Grey) and I began seeing Gladys longer than I'm willing to admit. The thing about Gladys is that in all of the years (decades) she's been taking care of my skin, she's never missed a thing. From the moment she noticed something wrong that needed medical care to just making me look and feel fresh and new, nobody knows my age, I've never needed injections of any sort (some people guess I had them, but they're wrong - it's Gladys' attention) and I'm always complimented on my skin.
If you would like a good facial that is more than somebody slathering on products and charging more simply because it's Beverly Hills - talk with Gladys. You can thank me later.
I've had to prepare for every kind of event at Joseph Martin: High Holy Days, bar mitzvah, weddings, awards season to just the daily grind and I've never been let down.
Service is the key to everything in this town and everybody at JM makes you their priority. Whether it is the warm welcome you get when you come in, the attentive staff who are working behind the scenes to make the stylists jobs easier to the stylists themselves - when I go to JM for what I call "beautification day," I've never regretted going. I feel better, happier when I leave JM and the great thing is that even though they moved from Rodeo Drive, it actually makes things easier.
My hair: I can thank two people for that Koki and Chris.
The entertainment world is not all about looks, but it certainly has a lot to do with looks! My experience with both Koki and Chris have been great. It was easy for me to get paired up with them because Gladys found the right two people for me. She was spot on.
Koki is a great colorist and he's not showy or flamboyant as so many are, he's just an artist who enjoys his craft. There was nothing wrong with my color - no adjustments had to be made, no annoying tint that I needed to get fixed and no unnecessary chatting that made beautification day take longer than it had to take. All I will say is that if you want somebody who is into the artistry of hair and you need color - Koki would be a great stop before you head to your stylist.
I may have the only straight beauty team in the entire town, and it's a first for me, but it works!
Chris is my stylist and he's young, but my fear about having a younger guy cut my hair was that he'd cut my hair "too young" and it would look ridiculous. I was wrong and had nothing to worry about. Chris listened to what I wanted and by the time I left his chair, everything was great. I looked exactly the way I wanted to and my bf told me it was exactly what he was hoping for too. It's so important to have a stylist that listens to you and Chris did that - and then some.
Joseph Martin is a Beverly Hills staple - a temple to beauty, service and the experience one wants and deserves when you pick a team of people to take care of your needs. The owners (Joseph and Martin) know their clients and make a point of saying hello to everybody and make sure you got exactly what you needed out of the visit.
I love JM and will be going for a long time to come. Give Gladys a try for her wonderful skin care, talk to Koki about your color and if you need a stylist that asks you what you want out of a hair cut, Chris is that man. read more
