And Walter is also amazing & they were super friendly. I had a great time getting my hair done. I have black hair and wanted to lighten my hair & color ("rose gold" to be exact with a bit more pink tint to it). Because my hair is very dark, to get it really light it would've taken another session on another day but Daniel did his best to lighten it as much as possible and gave it a beautiful rose gold color to my hair. And turned out so pretty!! Daniel will give you his honest opinion and explain to you why it will work or why it will not work. And he will give hundred and ten percent to make you look glamorous. I will go back to Daniel for all my hair needs.

Daniel's demeaner was completely short and unwelcoming the entire time. I arrived for my consultation at 6pm to the building doors being locked, and Daniel acted as if it was my fault/I was severely inconveniencing him for coming down to open them for me. I would've happily came earlier if I knew/was notified of that. When I entered the salon, it was just messy and looked gross to be in. The decor is weird and there was a door that said "Tattoo" right in the sitting area? Daniel rushed around without bothering to acknowledge my presense. His assistant/other guy in the salon was so nice and outgoing, but otherwise it was a total cold shoulder and I felt burdensome to him to be there. I will give Daniel credit that he is knowledgable in his craft and he gave feedback based on what I was discussing with him. However, the lack of "salon side manner" will not have me coming again, and I cancelled my appointment.

Your stylist is usually not available until 15-30 minutes after your appointment. For example, I waited in the waiting area for over 30 minutes this morning and then double- checked with the receptionist to see what the holdup was -- just to find out my stylist hasn't even clocked in for her scheduled shift. My time is just as important as everyone else's, so just remember we have choices when it comes to stylists :)

Absolutely loved my visit to VoStyle! I hadn't dyed my hair for a few months (albeit my last dye…read morewas only on the bottom half of my hair...which I had cut off a week before coming here) and booked my appointment with VoStyle on a whim. The staff was all incredibly friendly and talented; they helped me decide on the right color and style for my needs, and they did a phenomenal job executing on all of my requests. I had a balayage and blow-out color, and the entire ordeal took about two hours. After blow drying my hair, they also gave it a quick curl. My only complaints about VoStyle came from the days before my appointment. I had originally booked an appointment for 10 AM on a Saturday, but they made two phone calls earlier on in the week -- one to confirm the services that I had requested and another to ask to move my appointment to 11 AM. The request to move my appointment was the slightest bit unprofessional, especially because I still had to wait about 35 minutes after my new appointment time to actually start on my hair, but it wasn't too big a deal at all. All of the staff members are incredibly sweet, and I definitely plan to come back here in the future for all my hair needs.

I booked with the owner, based on a recommendation. I show up and am sent to someone else. I…read moredidn't exactly know that is what was happening until it was too late because today was my first visit. The stylist I was sent to is a nice person, but not who I booked with and consequently I did not get the cut I wanted. Further the cut itself is uneven and much heavier on one side. After I pointed it out, Gilberto tried to fix, and it became clear that his continuing to fix would just botch the cut more. I'm not happy. I confronted the owner about being pawned off on someone else as I was checking out, he explained he "typically cuts mens hair." Sure. What he didn't know is I was explicitly sent to him by a female client of his and I'll never be back. He asked if I like my hair. My reaction was, "sure." What are you going to do now dude: It's short and the wrong shape. Trying to fix the shape will only shorten it more. I paid 80 plus tip to get f*cked. Don't go here. There are much better places in the neighborhood.

However, I decided to take a chance on this place because I had messed up the color of my hair. I have asian jet black hair so I previously tried to do an ombre and it turned out brassy. I went from brassy brown ombre to gunmetal gray ombre. So a few things I noticed: 1. When I originally emailed in to see if it was possible to fix my ombre to a gunmetal gray balayage, Joseph had told me that he didn't recommend it. Which shows me that his reputation is pure. He wasn't going to lie to me and pretend that he could do it just to get a new customer. He told me to wait and get my hair to a certain point. 2. After some back and forth about setting up a consultation, we finally set one up. He was extremely professional and patient with my schedule because I kept shifting things around. 3. Consultation: Aileen made me feel at ease immediately. When she talked to me she knew exactly what I wanted and admitted that this would be the first time she's ever done a gray balayage, but walked my through the color palette and how the process would work. I admit that I was scared, but her admittance to this also showed me that she was honest and if she didn't think she could do it, she'd make it known. I could tell that she was proud of her reputation. 4. GAME DAY(aka appointment day)- Although the salon is very simple, I think that it is perfect. There isn't flashy whatevers around, just a really cool hair dryer that evenly distributed the heat. I was also super happy that I wasn't put in front of a mirror to stare at myself for 3 hours. Instead, they had me sit at a table filled with magazines and in front of a TV. Aileen was extremely thorough and patient. I have a lot of hair. I constantly fill a bucket with just a trim. She painted each strand of hair like it was a painting. I was very nervous the whole time, but Aileen knew what she was doing. As soon as I saw my hair, I couldn't help but freak out. IT WAS PERFECT. The color was everything I had wanted and more. My hair looked shinier and healthy even though it had just gone a pretty tough process. Final Thoughts: I am so impressed.with their professionalism and care. They clearly care about their reputation and their clients. Advice: With a beautiful product comes a hefty price. The only thing I'd have a con about this place is the price, but I understand why.... I mean... come on.... Aileen painted EACH strand of hair one by one. So be prepared to drop money for a good color.

I recently moved to the area and chose Salon Joseph based on their excellent online reputation. To start with the positives: the salon is incredibly clean, the front-desk staff and the owner are very nice, and booking an appointment was seamless. Unfortunately, my actual hair experience was devastating. I went in on a Friday afternoon right before my birthday weekend, excited for a refresh. My hair was already at a nice shoulder-length long bob, and I explicitly asked for just one inch off. My stylist, who I believe was named Amira, seemed hesitant from the start. As she began cutting, she started adding unrequested layers. By the time she reached the front, I realized things were going terribly wrong, it was far shorter than what I had asked for. Once she blow-dried it, the full extent of the damage was clear. The back was longer than the front, chunks were missing, and the layers were completely unblended. Because I have finer hair, the texturing made the bottom look incredibly thin. When I pointed this out, she tried to claim I already had short pieces in the front, which was simply not true to this extreme. I was on the verge of tears, at which point the owner, Joseph, kindly stepped in to try and fix it. While I appreciate his effort to make it better, the hair was already cut too short to properly salvage. He trimmed the back to make it more even, but the front remains uneven, choppy, and missing sections. I left the salon holding back tears and feeling incredibly self-conscious for my birthday. Despite the severe mistake, I was still charged full price for the service. The cut is too short to even pull back into a ponytail, and I don't know how it can be fixed at this point.

It's exactly what I wanted and the stylist was very, very friendly. She listened to everything I was saying and knew how important the day was for me. My hair held up the entire day especially since there was a big rain storm and my hair can get frizzy pretty easily.
