Ramirez Tran

I just did my color in Miami with Johnny and I truly can’t believe there is one negative review on here. He is truly the best. I got pretty much the exact color I wanted. Yes I was there for hours, too many but boy was it worth it. I’d do it all over again. In fact I already have my next appointment for when he is back again.

I am posting on both Unilocal accounts to hopefully save someone else from having their hair assassinated. Here is a copy of my first review…
If u want to spend $ 750 + tip to kill your hair– this place is for u! I hate my hair so much and I still have a headache from the horror of having it done. After cyber stalking this salon for a year I finally bit the bullet and made an appointment. I had to fill out an online form for Johnny to consider me as a client and then wait a month for his approval and appointment. High maintenance yes– but who cares if u walk away with amazing hair… I did not. Here is the long story as short as I can tell it :) It took over 9 hours (my appoint was at 10am and I got out at 7:30pm) of his assistant (who is sweet but fresh out of hair school and not who I’m paying $$$$ for) to highlight my whole head with bleach-​then color brown and repeat this process over and over. While she was combing my hair out, (with the bleach still in it) it hurt so badly I kept moving my head and was told it would hurt less if I sat still. Attn: all assistants– it would hurt less if u stopped brushing it so damn hard!!! I had to ask for ibuprofen partway through bc of the pain. Her brush ripped at my earring so hard that when I got home I noticed my ear had bled and the pain from my scalp had prevented me from noticing earlier. Why would u think it’s okay to manhandle someone like this? I’m a human not a mannequin. Brushing hair harder doesn’t make it untangle faster it’s just cruel!
When my hair was done and I wasn’t happy they offered to lighten my roots more bc they wanted me to love it. If u can’t do it in just under ten hours why would I stay longer? They offered to have me go back another day but unless they have a time machine and I can get my old healthy hair back there is nothing that could make me step foot in there again.
Despite hating my hair and being in agony I didn’t totally blame the assistant and know she counts on tips to support her 9 $ wages. I was told I couldn’t tip on my credit card bc the salon only accepts cash tips. I had to walk outside, in the rain and stand there getting soaking wet to use their janky cash machine. Really?! No one loves paying taxes but having a cash machine outside in the parking lot to avoid them and make an additional $ 4 per transaction fee? EW! I should have just left without tipping, but I didn’t. In the end I left the recommended 20% bc of what must have been Stockholm syndrome and I’m left with dead hair, longer roots than I went in with and my usual colorist can’t fix it bc it’s too unhealthy. My super healthy hair went from feeling silky to straw and now looks thin and scraggly. The only upside to all of this is I know it’s only hair and it will grow back and I never have to go to this salon again. I also think it’s shady they have two Unilocal accounts… Worst salon experience in my entire life!

Super super disappointed in the diva ABSURD behavior of this salon. First, I call for an appointment based on an amazing article where he was quoted as being a great hair God and his general cool demeanor towards hair. I thought — wow, someone who could get me to my look of choice in one appointment … where do I sign up? Think that is rhetorical? It is not. You actually have to fill out an extensive form online and during that survey I was told it would take an entire day. OK fine — it would be worth it to get the results I wanted and not have to recolor in six months, per the promsie of the article and website. Also did I mention that I had to add photos and everything?
Then, after all of that, I was told I have to come in for a consultation with a patch test to see if Johnny would deign work on me and test his color process. For someone who says he can work his magic on any kind of hair and get results in one treatment, this seems a bit like false advertising. I mean any hair guru knows, that AMAZING things can be done with virgin untreated hair, it is the people who can work with all hair types and textures that are truly amazing.
Anyway, as the kids say TL: DR, if I am going to spend $ 500 (which I was willing to do if you can believe it) on hair color, it will be with someone who isn’t such a diva and with staff who aren’t so rude. I will stick with my colorist.
Further takeaway: When things seem to good to be true, they probably are.
ETA: This is the response of the owner, «Hi Katie I am very sorry to hear about this. We wish you nothing but the best and want you to feel confident in your hair. Please let us know if you need anything. All the best!»
Does this not make sense to anyone else? Like head smack what? HUH? This is completely non-​responsive. I would also like to feel confident in my hair, but what does that have to do with being treated like a leper with a side dose of small pox by him and his managers?

A girlfriend of mine recommended Johnny Ramirez for color. After seeing his instagram, I booked an appointment with the hope of getting beautiful «lived in» color. The experience and my color ended up being horrible. Johnny came across as extremely self-​involved and spoke to me for all of 5 minutes. After that, one of his many assistants took over and proceeded to highlight my entire head. I was confused because I had specifically said that I did not want to go lighter, but the assistant assured me that Johnny’s special coloring technique would result in exactly what I was looking for. A couple hours later, Johnny and another one of his many assistants put more foils in my hair. This took about 15 minutes and that was the last I saw of Johnny. Yet another assistant took over from there and about three hours and two toners later, I emerged with blonde hair– not at all what I had asked for. When I asked if Johnny was going to check my color, his assistant awkwardly replied, «Um, no, he trusts us with that.» Of the six hours I was at the salon, I saw Johnny for a total of 20 minutes. Not only did my hair turn out completely different from what I had asked for, but it is also fried from all the highlighting. Needless to say, I won’t be returning. Do not waste your time or money going to Johnny, you are better off booking with one of his assistants (Dominick was awesome).

worst salon experience I’ve ever had. I booked an appointment in san fran with Johnny ramirez and was so excited because my hair badly needed help. and still does. first off, the other reviewers are correct about johnny he never even addressed me and I wasn’t even given a hair consultation by him. I was being passed off from assistant to assistant and nobody knew exactly what the plan was for my hair. I was in the salon for 7 hours and left with a longer root than when I started but other than that it looks the same. also I called before hand and asked about the pricing for my appointment and was told it would be 400 $. when I went to check out they charged me 700 $. I tried to complain and Johnny wouldn’t even walk over to talk to me his assistants spoke with me but said it was a mistake by the receptionist. so what! that’s not my problem! worst service and hair color I’ve ever had by a bunch of pretentious L.A. snobs. save your money and go anywhere else !! Even the assistants talk about how awful johnny is, they all seem scared of him. i had multiple assistants tell me how bad their job sucked and they were all treating johnny like he was a god or something. it was so weird, I would never return. super cuts could do a better job just by asking you what you want. ugh, I’m so mad I fell for this. I feel like I got scammed.

I’ve been going to this salon for almost two years…
I’ll start with the good, Ahn is awesome, tremendously nice guy!
I’d been going to Johnny for color (total of 4×−5 times) which had been awesome until today. He sent his assistant out to greet me and make up some bs excuse that since I cut my hair (at his salon mind you, and not even an inch off) that he doesn’t feel he’d be good to do my color anymore. WTF? I know it’s a bs excuse because his assistant started to let me have the news before he could even see what I wanted. Johnny, totally fine you don’t want to do my hair (for God only knows what reason), but at least tell me yourself… Or here’s a novel, customer friendly idea… TELL ME BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT– NOT DAY OF! When I asked his poor assistant that, the reason was because he didn’t recognize my name on paper! Now that’s service… laughable! At the end of the day, I know your biz will be unaffected, which is why I’m sure you pull moves like this, but how you get off treating customers like that is BEYOND me!
I will say, I ended up seeing Matt instead (poor guy got me forced on his schedule) and he was so nice and did a beautiful job… and the members on his team were sweethearts. My bad situation was turned around.
But it just baffles me in this day and age how you can treat customers like that (and in case you’re reading this and wondering… NO ISSUES had ever come up before, I had always liked my color)

I’ve waited nearly eight weeks to write this review, as I wanted to settle into the color and figure out how I really felt about the process, the price, and the outcome… and I am less than thrilled.
Let me say quickly before I get bogged down — I like Anh and think his hair cuts are great. I would say they are probably only worthwhile if you want to do something layered and you plan on curling your hair regularly. Because of my color experience, I haven’t been doing a lot of heat styling… so the haircut ended up being a bust. But my first haircut with Anh last year, where I didn’t do any color, was a lot more impactful…
Anyway — color with Johnny. I am not happy at all. Like others have said, it’s a factory/​assembly line. I don’t think Johnny is worth the hefty $ 500 price tag… but what you’re honestly paying for is the team of 10 or so other people that work on your hair (or, at least I hope you are… they don’t seem to love Johnny, so maybe they aren’t being paid very well). I barely spent any time with Johnny at all. There were multiple other people who painted in the first set of highlights, then the second set of highlights, then washed, etc. All Johnny did was the «tipping» — that is to say he just put a smattering of the lightest shade of blonde on my ends (which honestly seems like the easiest and least risky part to me… if that doesn’t go well, you can at least cut your hair shorter to get rid of it). After he did that, other people did everything else (there was more painting on of highlights, removing foils, toning, etc.). In my EIGHT HOUR appointment, I spent about 45 minutes with him max.
This in and of itself would be OK with me except that I was not thrilled with how my hair turned out — I didn’t love it immediately and I DEFINITELY don’t love it now. By hour five of my appointment, Johnny had left for the day. Now, I started at noon and there were at least five other women who started after me, and he didn’t have the courtesy to stick around in the salon to see our color treatments through. He never checked on our progress — not even when he was there — and then he was long gone by the time we were done. So, he never weighed in on whether or not his team did a good job, if the color was what we had discussed at the outset (it wasn’t), etc.
I had gone in asking for something really natural and soft like what was pictured in the article NYMag did on him that very same week — except not quite as light — and instead I got a huge chunk of white blonde hair in the front of my head, and thin little sad stripey pieces all over the rest of my head. They did NOT adequately tone the roots to make the highlights blend in naturally. And the highlights were never even painted all the way to my roots, so from week one my hair looked cheap and «old,» as if it had been growing out for a couple of weeks already.
What I am MOST upset about, however, is how ridiculously damaged my hair is. I went in with pretty much virgin hair color. I had some year-​old bleach on the ends — basically it had once been dip-​dyed blonde — but I’m talking maybe 1.5 inches, and some of that got cut off before we started. So from my roots almost to the ends was very healthy. His insane process of doing the «tipping» I mentioned above involves teasing your hair to an insane level and creating the most hellacious rats nest of tangled hair you could ever possibly imagine. It took two people about half an hour to brush it all out. This on its own created a TON of damage, and then the very bright white around my face has caused so much damage and breakage. I have so many broken, frizzy hairs sticking up all the time. It’s mortifying. I feel like every day is a bad hair day. And I am trying SO HARD to keep my hair healthy. I have an expensive T3 water filter on my shower head, I’m using all sulfate-​free Oribe hair products (from the Gold Lust collection), I only wash and blow dry twice a week, I use a heat protectant spray and cream every time I style my hair, I don’t curl my hair more than once a month, I do a deep conditioning treatment every week, etc. I literally have no idea what more I could do. With such a damaging coloring process — you’d think they’d throw in something like Olaplex with the $ 500 color treatment (for free — or I’d even be willing to pay for it to avoid the disgusting damaged mess that is my hair now). But they don’t even offer you ANYTHING that might help with the breakage.
I am doing a weekly at-​home Olaplex régime until I feel like my hair is healthy enough to just dye brown and cover up these gross, streaky highlights. All people say about my hair is that it looks so dry and I should just go back to being a brunette…
Oh — when I checked out, I could only leave a credit card tip for Johnny — not for any members of his team. I thought that was pretty awful when he barely did anything and wasn’t even there for the last few hours of my appointment.

I saw Johnny Ramirez and his crew today in Beverly Hills. I was late. Johnny was at the front door, ready for me and very understanding after I apologized for being tardy. I found him to be sweet, patient and caring. He didn’t rush me, even though the salon was crazy busy. He sat with me to talk about my hair for a while and because my hair is fine and already has color in it, he recommended that I not necessarily get new color today. He didn’t pull the possibility of color off the table, but he needed to have his team test some strands to see if the old color lifted to strong hair underneath. I spent about an hour through this process and, unfortunately for me, my hair was too sensitive to go through with changing shades today. Johnny had mentioned in our consultation that if he did color it my hair could turn out looking great today, but after a month of hot showers the dyed hair would start to turn orangey– my worst nightmare. Johnny seemed very sincere and upfront. I did NOT feel like he was talking me out of coloring my hair because he was «too busy» for me, etc. I did need a haircut, badly, so Sal (wonderful stylist) gave me a great haircut and a tip on how to help my hair grow longer and stronger. I’ve read a lot of the reviews below and understand the feeling of being part of a busy cattle call, but I didn’t go to Ramirez Tran to be pampered, necessarily. I went because I needed help with my hair and for the most part I got it. I think a lesser colorist would have just said, ‘yah, let’s just color your mom-​hair and be done with it’. Johnny and his crew were super nice and professional. I will return when my hair is ready for new color.

Johnny Ramirez treats customers like cattle. He books multiple appointments at the same time, then spends five minutes with each person and hands you over to his assistants. He’s rude, his assistants are rude, and the woman who books your appointment is rude. If the hair color were truly exceptional, I’d probably just deal with being treated like a second-​class citizen for 6 hours, but ultimately it was a joke. A $ 700 joke.
On the other hand, Ahn is wonderful and talented.

Cookie cutter (no pun intended) hairstyles for the LA masses.
Don’t bother spending time gathering and emailing the salon’s requested images of «your dream hair style/​color» before a color consult with Ramirez — the many snobby assistants of Ramirez-​Tran won’t provide it to Johnny anyway. And from my experience with him — he doesn’t really care what your «dream hairstyle» is (even though he will ask) — you will get the same cut and color every woman that leaves their salon has. That is what happened to me. When I showed Johnny a color (that should have been easy to replicate) — he didn’t show much knowledge or confidence in how to achieve this look and I ultimately got the same style and color as everyone else there (see their Instagram). I felt like I was part of The Factory, my before/​after image posted on Instagram (as they pressured me to do). These repeated images of the same — like a Warhol print but instead of soup cans in different colors — photos of women with exactly the same hair in slightly different shades. In fact, Tran-​Ramirez is a Factory and they even trademarked this look as «lived in style» or «lived in color». They are clearly running a business for mass production hair cuts/​color. Ramirez-​Tran are not artist/​stylist but merely production line manufactures.
Also, plan to spend hours upon hours there for either a cut or color. If you book with Tran or Ramirez they will also be working on several other people at the same time. But that’s okay because while they focus on someone else — an assistant will brush the crap out of your hair for hours — just so you will feel spoiled. They say «expect eight hours with us». This is why. Also, they are not cheap.

I love my stylist, but the way reception treats the clients is abominable. 3 stylists and a receptionist were all sitting on the couch and chair in the waiting area, chatting away, and did not bother to get up when I was (am) waiting for my appointment! I was literally standing for a few minutes while they were oblivious. I find expensive salons with attitude appalling, and this one is no exception. If it were not for my awesome stylist, to whom I am loyal, I would never come back.

I had an awful experience in the San Francisco area with Johnny and his team.
I arrived at the salon with dark brown virgin hair. I showed Johnny a couple pictures of my desired look, basically my natural hair color with subtle lighter brown and some sandy blonde ombré accent pieces. Then Johnny tells me he wants to color all of my hair to achieve the right look. I am assuming he means a slightly lighter brown. After speaking with Johnny shortly I was shuffled of to an assistant that put bleach foils all over my head. At that point I was very concerned but putting my trust in Jonny who claims to be a great «celebrity» colorist.
After having foil bleach put in, then more tip bleach put in by Johnny, I eventually made it to an assistant who put color in my hair, then finally an assistant to dry. This assembly line took FOREVER. I arrived at 7 am and didn’t get out of there until after 4:30pm! Johnny packs in as many cash cow clients as he can. Leaving everyone waiting hours as the assistants move between clients as though it were musical chairs.
All of Johnny’s young assistants were very unprofessional, dressed as if they just came off the street, gossiping amongst each other, cold to the customers, unorganized, and obviously just out of beauty school most likely only receiving «experience» and tips as pay.
I had fallen asleep in a salon chair next to a shampoo sink that I was left in for who knows how long, when an assistant tells me they are ready to dry and style my hair. As my hair starts to dry I can see my worst nightmare come to life. My hair is fucking YELLOW! Root to tip, fucking YELLOW! I was shocked and mortified. Even the assistant drying my hair looked shocked. He kept asking me if I liked the color. As though he wanted to tell me Hey your hair looks like shit say something because I can’t. I say something to the assistant that the color is wrong (I never said I wanted to be blonde especially not an ugly yellow/​brass blonde), he tells another assistant that brings me back to tone down the roots, we do that once it brings it down to a golden brown, then again bringing the roots back to a darker brown and leaving my bangs still blonde gold-​ish with red where the toner met the bangs.
So my hair is fried, not the color I wanted, I’ve been without food/​water or basic comforts for 9+ hours; I’m ready to just walk out of the salon with my hair wet. They get me in to dry and style and I just want to get the hell out of there so I end up paying for the SHIT SHOW that happened to my hair.
The only time Johnny spoke to me was in the initial 5 mintues after I arrived. Very unprofessional, he could have checked in to see what was going on and he should have looked at my hair once it was obviously all wrong. I was shuffled through the assembly line as though my hair, and my experience didn’t matter. I would have been BETTER OFF GOING TO A BEAUTY SCHOOL FOR COLOR. Since that is what I got. Johnny didn’t color my hair. Four assistants colored my hair under his very poor direction. SO why the hell did it cost me 500 dollars?! They should have not charged me anything and offered some sort of compensation for sidelining me all day and fucking up my hair.
Now I am left completely depressed. Its going to be at least a year maybe two before my hair grows out from the root to the length that it was before Johnny ruined it.
SAVE YOUR HAIR
DONT GO TO JOHNNY RAMIREZ

I have never taken the time to write a review on Unilocal but I feel that I have to let others know about my terrible experience with Johnny Ramirez. First of all, like the other reviewers mentioned you only see him for 15 minutes. He is rude and unfriendly. I’m not looking to make friends here and normally this would not have bothered me had I not had such a horrendous experience.
I arrived at my appointment on time and was told that it should not take longer than 4 hours given the schedule for the day. As it turned out, I was there for 7 hours! The problem is that you are not assigned to any individual assistant. You see Johnny for 15 minutes then he pushes you off to one of 7 different assistants who are working on you and 20 other clients at the same time. You are not assigned to any particular assistant and you are left sitting with bleach on your hair for HOURS at a time. You can image being in a salon for 7 hours there is a lot of waiting with bleach on your hair. OH, and this was 7 hours just for color. not cut.
My end result was completely fried, over processed hair that looks like one color on the bottom and dark roots at the top. There is no contrast that suggest I have highlights. It looks like I dyed my hair blonde on the bottom and brown on the top. It is hideous, it is so incredibly damaged and unhealthy. I’ve had to cut off 4 inches and spend hundred of dollars on conditioning repair treatments.
At the end of the day, it is common sense that there is no way you can leave bleach on someone’s hair for 4 –5 hours at a time and expect there not to be major damage.
I called the salon 3 times and requested to speak to a manager regarding my experience. No one has EVER called me back. What kind of customer service is that? I spent $ 500 on color $ 100 tipping Johnny for my 15 minute and $ 100 to the assistants. $ 700 spent on a disasterous experience and hundreds more trying to fix it.
Save yourself the headaches and nightmares and go somewhere else!

This salon experience is wonderful!
I see Christine for cut and color and each time I walk out with exactly what I asked for.
I get my roots done with some hi-​lites and I get compliments on my hair left and right.
One occasion, at a trade show, I was offered a free pair of earrings at a boutique booth because «we all decided you had the coolest hair!» :)
There’s plenty of parking in the back and they always offer coffee.
I suppose there has to be some drama about the Beverly Hills salon experience, as evidenced in some other reviews… I love getting my hair done here and Christine knows her color!

There’s so many haters. I received the best care and color job of my life thus far by this guy. Johnny had just opened his salon on Olympic when I went in for a child like, sun kissed highlight thing. The whole place was buzzing with the excitement of opening. J had to talk with some contractors/​design ppl before we started and I was nervous like the proper attention wouldn’t be on my fucking hair. I got a bit of an attitude which J could read and he was beyond attentive for the rest of the day while he fixed my ugly mop. Yes, his assistants do a lot of work. They hold the foils, mix the toners and apply the toners. U have to keep in mind that JR is carving out the placement of the highlights/​foils, he’s picking the toner and he decides how long that toner will sit and over sees everything. If he’s late, boo hoo, his work is worth it. It’s not him purposefully taking too long. He really cares, whether you’re a celeb or not. Him and his assistants both talked about how they never get to eat bc they’re so busy. Keep in mind, in LA, you’re assisting for at least 2 yrs so that u can advance. You must work your way up and J is a tough, yet caring mentor to those assistants. My color lasted 2 years! It grew out naturally and thanks to him, I now have super long hair. He uses a unique technique that other stylists copy. As far as the cut goes, it’s at your own discretion if you want a cut. Simply say no if u prefer a super cuts thing.

This review is for Johnny Rameriez only. I have had 2 great experiences with his partner Anh cutting my hair. My first experience as a whole was wonderful. Although the setting is chaotic, they did a wonderful job as a team giving me a beautiful cut and color. My second experience was nothing short of a nightmare. First let me say if you are paying $ 500 for color alone, not including tipping his 4 hard working assistants, you want and expect perfection. This is what he is known for, producing a natural beautiful color. What I received from Johnny Rameriez my second time around was more along the lines of a dye job from super cuts. I began at 830 in the morning and left at 630 in the evening with a total of 30 minutes with the classless master of color. He gave me a black root half way down my head and when they tried to correct it he didn’t even bother to come over and acknowledge the mistake or correct the color himself. I will not bore you with the awful detailed experience of my entire day but just want to inform other women who may be considering him as an option. I did see some women leave with beautiful color, and some leave with just average results. It was clear that he did favor some women and spent more time personally attending to their color. I know he is capable of amazing color, but because of his desire to make as much money as possible by fitting in 20+ clients in a day, along with his out of control ego pair with skinny jeans and a fedora, he failed. I like to pay for quality and don’t mind my 4 hour travel in order to have a great cut and color but he is just not worth it. At the end of the day, I expressed my dissatisfaction and my desire to not pay for the botched color job but rather tip his assistants and pay for my haircut and move on. After one of the assistants consulted with The Johnny Ramirez, the assistant informed me that would be fine but I was not welcomed back. Clearly only a lunatic would rebook with rameriez after what I experienced but he showed his true professionalism with his handling of the situation as a whole. Such a disappointment. Don’t waist your time and money on this guy.

So Johnny was TWO hours late for my appointment and that should have been a red flag especially since he never apologized for the wait or even acknowledged me as a person. Every negative review about him is 100% accurate and I regret not seeing them sooner.
First of all, he and his staff are a disaster. The entire process that he utilizes is a mess. He teases your hair into this horrendous rats nest and then applies BLEACH. I now understand why he only takes people with zero or minimal color because his method DESTROYS your hair. Especially once his minions start to detangle your hair. Wow. They are first of all super pissed off and completely disregarded my numerous attempts to get them to be more gentle with my hair when combing. There was a blonde girl who was doing the touch up color after Johnny dyes your hair and ALL she did was talk shit about Johnny to his assistant Cary and some other nitwit named Tommy. She was complaining about how Johnny was upset that she forgot to bring all the colors. So this explains why EVERY girl getting color had the SAME exact yellowy color.
I was there 6 HOURS. And saw Johnny for 5 seconds. He did not do the color I wanted nor is it the highlights I wanted. The entire appointment was an entire waste of my day. I had virgin hair that I had never before dyed prior to this appointment and its just so disappointing. I paid $ 500 to be mistreated by his staff and have color I could’ve gotten at Super Cuts. My color has auburn in it and the highlights are very yellow. I wanted golden/​champagne highlights. He couldn’t have missed the mark any more than he did.
I am truly convinced the people who sing his praises are blind.

After Johnny was 45 minutes late with no apology, I get seated in Johnny’s chair.
He is remarkably rude with his ‘too cool for school’ vibe. Doesn’t even bother to say hello, just starts poking at my hair and gets his assistant to do everything. He literally touched my hair for maybe 5 minutes of the 6 hours I was at the salon.
Hair color was okay, but not worth the price and the horrible experience.
Recommend you start treating your customers with respect.

As an update to my initial review, the day after my failed meeting with the remarkably UNPROFESSIONAL Johnny Ramirez, I visited Ze Pedro (
and
), a Brazilian stylist with a celebrity following (which, per the above hyperlinks, includes Adriana Lima.) After hearing my story, Pedro squeezed me into his schedule and was shocked that a stylist would use the words «shit» and «fucked up» to describe a client’s hair– that’s not «honesty»; it is destructive and inappropriate. My new stylist Pedro treated me with courtesy and professionalism, giving appropriate and constructive feedback. I showed Pedro my «goal photos» and he worked wonders, giving me the shiny, blended sandy blonde with light meshes around my face that Johnny claimed was IMPOSSIBLE. Not to mention that my hair wasn’t turned into «cotton candy», nor did I need to cut my hair off to achieve the desired color results.
As for reviews that claim Johnny Ramirez cares about your hair condition more than your money? Please don’t be naïve. See the photo of me to the left. Does it seem like my hair is «falling off my head»? That’s how my hair looked AFTER I left my new colorist Ze Pedro, the day after Johnny called my hair «fucked up» and referred to it as «shit». My opinion: If J. Ram is overbooked and can’t give you the hair you want in a timely fashion, he’ll try to convince you to accept a quicker but still pricey service to make a financial return on the premium paid for a spot in a NYC salon. If not, then you aren’t worth his time.

Absolutely, hands down, the most amazing colorist there is! And this is coming from the girl who has been to more stylists than she can count!
Johnny and his incredible team are meticulous, smart and realistic with your hair and will not disappoint. They are focused and truly care about the way you look when you leave the salon.
I started out with pitch black (box color, ick) hair and went to Johnny and his team for help transitioning back to my natural color. I cant even begin to say how happy I am with my hair.
Thanks Johnny & team for being life/​hair savers!
