Salon 401

I’ve been coming here for over a decade to see Joe. I will keep coming here even with my 30 – 45 minute commute to get here every time. He is amazing ! Can’t telling you how many satisfied friends and family I have referred to Joe. They all became preeminent clients!

Heather knows exactly what to do with my hair (super straight, very fine), and every time I leave the salon feeling exhilarated. Recently, Heather gave me the prettiest purple hair in the world. This is something I’ve wanted for a really long time, and we were on the same page as to how it’d look and the way to go about it. 5 stars all the way.

I had a really nice experience here. I have been trying different salons here and there, but I was never able to find «the one.» I wanted to get a haircut and hair color. My hair hasn’t been cut for like a year, and there were like three section of different hair colors going on in my hair. I decided to come here since it was literally a two minutes walk from my house. I was surprise when I saw that there was an Asian stylist here. I never came here since I thought there were only white stylists. I’m not being racist here, but it’s hard for non-​Asian to understand how Asian hair works.
I tried calling them but they never picked up so I went in around 9:20AM to ask for an appointment. They were able to sit me down for a 10AM appointment. When 10AM arrives, Susan greeted me and sat me down. Before she said anything, I looked at her hair. It was a nice small curly shoulder length healthy hair. I was relieved. I’ve been to places where the hair stylist’s hair looks like damage or just not healthy. So I was relieved when I saw her gorgeous healthy hair.
Anyways, she asked me what I wanted. She gave tons of helpful advice on what kind of hair color I should get. What stood out from all other hair salons I went to was that she was extremely patient and she listened. I asked her to give me a 1 – 2 inch trim and a layer to add more volume to my hair. I told her I wanted a more reddish color for my hair and she suggested that I should do a more violet red. She told me the color would stay longer. Since I had three color section of hair, she told me I should do a darker shade of violet red to make the hair color even. She gave a lot of helpful advice and explanation. She also gave me advice on how I should curl my hair or how I should do my hair when I go partying (haha).
I ended up spending $ 110 for haircut and color, which was not bad at all. My hair length was a little past the middle of my back. She spend a total of three hours on my hair. I’m glad that she was totally professional and didn’t chitchat with her co-​workers on the side. I have been to places where the hair stylist are chatting their butts off and they forget about me while I’m hair is soaked with hair dye.
Well, that was pretty much my experience in a nut shell. I just have to say that I fell in love with this place. It’s a super super friendly environment! The place is kid and animal friendly too. The people are amazing. The cost is affordable. My hair looks great and healthy.
PS: Susan was great. She is nice. She always has a smile on her face. She doesn’t cut corners. She is extremely patient. She went over my hair so many times to make sure that every little strand is in the right place at the right length. I love her.

Salon 401 is a full service professional salon that takes great pride in what they do. Joe Jardino has been styling my hair for years, he is a hair color perfectionist! I get compliments on my hair all the time. I have referred several friends and family members to him. Joe takes his time with you and makes sure you are 100% satisfied when you leave. Joe and his team are up to date on the latest styles, techniques and products. I highly recommend Salon 401!

Joe is great! I have been going to him for years. He’s a true color artist and knows how to cut all styles.

Joe is a genius when it comes to cut and color. Genius. He talks about his artistry the way you would expect Einstein to talk about his Theory of Relativity. I love hearing him analyze my hair piece by piece as he plans his approach for whatever crazy hairstyle I request. So far he has given me the best haircuts and hair colors I have ever gotten in my life, and I’ve done some crazy things to my hair and have visited some pretty expensive and well-​known hair salons (I’m talking going completely blonde as an Asian and spending around $ 500 on one visit to the hair salon at other places). His prices are also very reasonable, and he is really fun to talk to while you are there. It is such a wonderful experience going to this salon. I am so glad I found this place. My husband comes here, and we even brought my baby here for his first haircut when he was six months old. Joe didn’t even charge us for my baby’s haircut. I love this place.

This review is for joe, so i went in talked to joe showed him a few pictures with different tones for an ombré so he could work with something i liked and of course a color that he would be able to get. He told me there would be no problem getting the color ect. Once he was done and i saw my hair color it was nuthing that i wanted. And i told him i thought it would be lighter and he said light wouldnt look good with your skin color! I felt he was kind of racest to be honest prior to that he said a few awkward comments, but anyway it looked orange and brassy as if i bleached my hair at home. Long story short i went home and cried myself to sleep and the next morning i went in told him i hated my hair and he said thats exacly what you wanted & i told him no it was not and he said i dont know what you want me to tell you so he gave me my money back and said this is a scam lol hes a tottal weiredo and suzzan left my daughters hair cut tottaly uneven for a childs $ 30 doller hair cut i expected more

This review is for having your haircut with Susan. She’s AMAZING! She makes magic happen with your hair and for a super affordable price!
She is the kind of hair stylist that just gets it, gets what will work best for your hair type and face shape. I gave her a general idea of what I wanted to do with my hair and she gave suggestions for what would look best and explained why. She is SO helpful, informative and sweet!
Both my fiancé and I had been going to a great guy who cuts hair around the corner from us, but recent cost saving initiatives forced us to look elsewhere. This is THEE place to go for an affordable haircut. We’re now saving $ 30 total compared to our previous hair guy.
I know that many stylists tend to loathe people who say things like «oh do whatever» but with a general description of what you want and your life style, Susan is able to give you that cut that really brings out the gorgeousness in you and works amazing with your hair type. I think she’s a holy grail hair stylist and I’ll continue to book with her as long as I live around the area.

My co-​worker introduced me to this place and I can honestly say, this is such an awesome salon! You’re always treated well and they accommodate you all the time! Great people, great products, great stylists!!!

Wow what service! They have been around for 25 years lucky them. Joe and his assistant are great and he cares how your hair turns out. Would def recommend to family and friends.

Just wanted to let people know that Even though you may book an appointment with Joe the owner doesn’t mean he will actually be the one doing your hair. He did that to me twice without even apologizing or saying hey“I’m super busy”, instead he ignored me while his assistant did my hair. I’m a very easy going person but come on just be honest with me when I book the appointment. I would not recommend this guy at all. The rest of the staff is friendly and nice but I think he thinks he’s just to good and that’s to bad because he does decent work but his customer service is terrible. Oh and always be prepared to be there at least 2 to 3 hours because he always over books. Stay away!

I wanted to grow my hair out but wanted someone experienced to keep it looking right and grow out looking right. Joe really knows his stuff and set me on the right path. The cut was very reasonable — $ 30 for the shampoo and the style. It looks great! I watched as he handled various clients and he dealt with their needs with care and precision. I definitely found my gem stylist.

I have been coming here since I was a teenager. (Right down the street from my dads, and my apartment) Joe and his assistant, always take the time my hair deserves! They stayed almost to nine at night doing highlights for me! He always guides me the right way for my hair, even when I think he is wrong, My hair always prooves he is right later! Very experienced in this industry and couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my hair! The environment is so comfortable, and so easy to relax in! Just how a salon should be!!!

Suzanne is GREAT!!!
I’ve been around to many salons and nothing is like Suzanne. I went in to get an ombré and she did it perfectly! Not only did she accomplish what I asked for but she’s also very sweet. I was able to he ombré done plus she gave me a base color for all around and she added low lights and then styled my hair all for a very low price! She is so very sweet I would HIGHLLLLY recommend this place!

Great staff with good prices. My boyfriends family had been coming here for years and I am hooked now. Free bang cut. Check it out!

I walked in and Joe was available. Very personable and professional. Salon is clean and bright. Haircut was spot on and his advice was great. A lucky coincidence as he’s usually very busy; I’ll make an appointment next time.
Highly recommend!

Good people and good service. I’ve been going to Joe Jardino’s salon faithfully for years. I’m happy with their work and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Called this place around 4pm on a saturday because I messed up my own hair using a box of hair dye i purchased at target. total 911 call!
Parking: street and i think there’s a lot as well but i just parked right in front!
Décor: just your average salon, nothing crazy fancy. It’s nice. They have about 7? or 8? stations.
Service: Joe was extremely reassuring and professional. He took me in without an appointment and was extremely welcoming. He’s been in the business for about 25? years and you can definitely tell!
Give them a call to schedule an appointment because they can get rather busy, but definitely give them a try! you won’t regret it! :D

I have been going to Monica for a few years. She worked at Del Sol, which is down the street. When I found out she was going to going open up her own salon, I immediately followed her! She does such an amazing job with cutting and styling my hair! I do not let ANYONE cut my hair but her! She charges a small fee, too! At other salons I was paying anywhere from $ 60 – 70 for a haircut! When I come here I pay less than fifty! The ambiance of the salon is great! Salon401 is painted nice, there are nice couches, and the music kind o drowns out the sounds of blowdryers! Oh, this place also has waxing! :) this is definitely a place to go to! I totally recommend! Just make an appointment in advance! Ask for Monica Tumbolee!

I work in a biology lab, so when I ended up accidentally singeing the bottom two inches of my hair on a bunsen burner, I had a major freak out and booked the first available hair stylist I could find, which was at this place. I normally went to a different salon on Green Street, but they were close to closing at that time, so that wasn’t going to work.
When I first got here, I was a bit skeptical because the place looked a bit messy and old, but given that it had gotten so many other good reviews and my hair emergency, I decided to go ahead with my appointment, and I am so glad that I did.
My stylist was Susan, who is a very nice Chinese lady and also amazing at cutting hair. When I told her what happened to my hair, she was very proactive in helping me decide on a new style that was both doable and met my needs (I absolutely have to have long hair that goes past my shoulders). She did a great job in getting rid of the damaged part of my hair, but I am even more impressed with the way she redid my bangs.
Normally, I have those side-​swept bangs that you’ll see on any other Asian girl, but Susan suggested that I get full-​frontal bangs instead. I’d always been told that my forehead was too small for that, but I took a chance with Susan since she’d already done such a good job with my hair (and if it really didn’t work, I could always get it redone in a few weeks).
Everything turned out amazing. Either my forehead wasn’t as small as I thought, or Susan was just that good at her job. The bangs complemented my face really well, and after I got back from the appointment, all my friends told me that they loved my new cut. Even better, my boyfriend, who is impossible to please when it comes to my haircuts (he wants me to get a short bob cut, but I refused to part with long hair), also loved the cut, and couldn’t stop raving about it.
The price was also a lot lower than I expected ($ 45 for a cut, which is much less than what I pay at most other salons). My only potential gripe was that this place is cash-​only, but considering that Susan did such a good job, I’d happy make an extra stop by the bank next time I need a cut. I’m definitely coming back here again!
