    Lauren is a miracle worker with my hair! After moving to the area and having an unfortunate curly cut, I needed some major change to help fix it. Lauren and I met for a (free) consultation and decided on a plan to cut and color my hair. I appreciated that she spoke up and even explained to me why a less expensive coloring process was better than a more complex (and expensive) option due to my curl pattern! My hair is the shortest it has ever been, but I have never felt more confident or comfortable than ever before. They use amazing products at this salon; I even ended up coming back to buy some because my curls just radiate with it (never during my appt did Lauren push products on me). Parking is on the street and metered; so overpay for the meters just in case you stay in the chair longer. Usually ample spaces on the block! Such a welcoming environment with reasonable pricing for a high quality salon! They book up quickly, so call in advance!

    Walked in looking for a quick trim and was met with, hands down, the best hair wash of my life. I almost would have walked out without the cut for the quality of the head massage I received. The hair trim was great too. And my stylist was very knowledgeable and friendly.

    Fitting - since I LOVE my hair!

    This hive was buzzing on a Thursday afternoon. So many great things to say about this salon! Location: Fantastic (I mean they are located right next to Horizon Line Coffee) and easy meter street parking. Also right around the corner from the sculpture park. Salon: Vibrant and electric. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted and feel welcomed. They specialize in balayage but since my service this time was a haircut only I will be reviewing that experience. Stylist: Lauren is amazing! I wish there was a better word I could come up with that encompasses her zeal and warmth that just radiate from her. She actually took a good ten minutes to talk about my hair, my expectations, and then gave advice and suggestions on her vision while accommodating any needs or concerns I had. So thank you Lauren and thank you O+j salon! For as long as I am in the DSM area this will be my salon! I highly recommend these girls and the work that they do. Also, O+j is incredibly affordable/reasonably priced. My haircut with $10 gloss (July/Aug special) was $44+tax! I mean c'mon. Don't hesitate- make your appointment with Oliver+james Salon!

    Hair after all over, permanent color that was 3 shades too dark and not what I asked for

    I went in with a good amount of natural growth (about 4. Inches) and wanting my previous blonde (from balayage) taken out/to match my natural color so that I could stop coloring my hair. I even came with a reference photo and emphasized that I didn't want my natural roots touched/the hair to not be darker than my roots. After a very brief consult my stylist came back and started in with all over color. I was a little surprised as I've never had my roots touched before and even asked to confirm that my roots wouldn't be darker than my natural color. She assured me it wouldn't. (I am used to previous stylists using toner so I assumed my roots wouldn't be impacted but I should have stopped her there). When it was all said and done, my entire head was a dark/blackish brown in permanent color that was several shades darker than my natural shade with no dimension. It is frustrating because it was the opposite of my long term hair goals to stop dyeing my hair and grow out my natural color. Now I am starting from zero. As soon as I saw my hair I voiced to my stylist it was too dark and she offered to add highlights or come back in a few days. I contacted the salon and they sent me multiple messages trying to get me to come back to have another stylist fix it but I felt uncomfortable going back. I instead asked for a refund and was told the owner would contact me because they normally don't offer refunds. Never received a call from the owner or got a refund.

    I'm obsessed with this salon. I searched through Yelp and came across Oliver and James, and as bad as it sounds solely booked my hair cut on the decor and style of the salon. I walked in and it's even more magical in person. My appointment was with Lauren and she is literally the cutest and sweetest woman I've ever let touch my hair. I had not had my hair cut/dyed in 2+ years due to a traumatic salon experience. We won't talk about that. It was all one length and so boring. She talked with me a bit and her recommendations for my hair were so spot on with my style and the look I envisioned in the head. I felt so comfortable to let her cut my hair. We talked and it didn't feel awkward at all. No expectation to talk to one another or that awkward silence that usually happens. Just real talking. Her cut on my hair was so great and even made me feel comfortable enough to dye it again, and that says a lot after the trauma I've been though lol. She made me feel so beautiful on my birthday and I will continue coming back to Oliver and James and choosing Lauren as long as I'm in the area. Hands down the best and most comfortable salon I've ever been to. Worth the money!

    Beyond a Stylist: A True Angel on My Wedding Week…read more I cannot say enough about Tina--she went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only did she deliver a gorgeous hairstyle that made me feel beautiful and bridal, but she showed the kind of grace, patience, and kindness that every bride (and any average person) dreams of during such a chaotic time. I was 30 minutes late to our appointment--I was her last visit of the night, and I felt terrible for running behind with all the last-minute wedding errands. But instead of stress or judgment, I was met with total understanding. Her energy was calm, uplifting, and exactly what I needed in that moment. She even stood by my side as I called my tailor about a last-minute issue with my dress, and advocated for me on the phone. That's the kind of heart she has. She didn't have to do any of that, but she did--because that's who she is: thoughtful, supportive, and just an incredible human. Her presence helped ground me in the midst of the chaos, and her work made me feel beautiful. She's not just a hairstylist--she's a calming force, a hype woman, and someone I'd trust a hundred times over.

    Black lives and Black Hair Care do matter. Paparazzi is a place you can go for all types of fancy…read morehair styles and treatment. The proprietor is Tina Turner not the legendary Tina, but one just as astute that is in oils, weaves, press, curls and she could even create a fashionable lace wig for your outings. Perhaps the most notable for me would be the soothing wash and hot oil treatment. To hide that touch of grey you might treat yourself to a rinse. After all is said and done, you walk out with a style that you might just be able to keep up. The prices are modest-- with the new COVID procedures you will be asked Questions, temperature check, put on your mask, etc. Sanitation strategies are followed as well as most wearing a mask when they enter. I hate crowds, and stylists who are not time conscious as to my time as it relates to a scheduled appointment--Tina's pretty good at spacing out clients where you do not have to spend all day in the shop. Parking is good with a public parking lot next door. Customers must have a credit card on file and must schedule appointments--gone may be the days of "walk on in, " due to Corona. The environment is safe and pleasant. So if you need an up do or a down home style check the shop out --but call-- leave a message and wait for a response.
