James Griffith Salon of Sarasota

Great salon. I’m a former (and very picky) stylist. I have never been disappointed here. I appreciate their pricing scale and asked who would fit my «needs» in the lowest tier, knowing that James Griffith strives to hire the cream of the crop. They recommended the perfect stylist. Lacey is the best. She listens to what I have in mind and has never failed to give me an excellent cut.

Had a great experience with Corey. Visiting the area and didn’t have time to get my highlights done before leaving on our trip. Called the salon, they worked me in and did a great job.
Strongly recommend Corey!

I’ve been coming to this salon for the past 5 years and will never, ever change. Krystal is the best and she is the ONLY person that I let touch my hair (you think I’m kidding, I’m not!). She’s the only hair stylist that I’ve ever had do my hair perfectly every single time. Everyone else there is so nice and helpful — they really do the best. Krystal will always be my favorite though!

I just went for shampoo and styling before going to a party. I cannot remember the name of my stylist but she was totally incompetent. She was just drying my hair with a brush, did not know how to lift the root, pulling and rolling with the brush. Waste of time and money.

Best ever !!! Accomidating. All stylists are perfect. Customer for years… and Aveda ??? A plus ummm.3 thumbs up

Had a great experience here. Did great high & low lights in my hair with no damage & a great cut! Not cheap, but about the norm. for high & low lights. Would recommend highly!

I love this salon. The service I’d always great and on point, no matter who I see. They’ve never cut my hair too short and the color always looks great. Despite what the other review says I’ve never had a problem and I’ve been visiting this salon for the last four years.

I just moved to sarasota and needed a salon. I had a lovely conversation with James Griffith who happened to be in the Sarasota location when I stopped in to check out the salon. I made an appointment for the next day after being assurred that their standards were up to the best in NYC. Unfortunately that was not my experience. I needed a touch up for my gray roots which had been colored a lighter brown. I also wanted a few highlights around my face. The result was a touch up color that was a dark brown with a few highlights in the center of my head leaving me with two blotches of dark brown at my temples and a frizzy mohawk of blond in the middle. When I went back the next day I asked to see their best colorist, Michelle?, who with a bored stoneface inferred that it was my fault they had used such a dark brown, there was nothing they could do without making my hair look brassy and no acknowledgment of any responsibility on their part. I hope I dont have to fly back to NY to get my roots touched up as that was not in the plan when I moved to Florida. I really dont understand the whole system of pricing services based on the level of experience and talent of the stylist. If that is the way it’s done here then at least have them wear big signs with their grade emblazoned on them so the customer can decide the risk tolerance they are willing to take.
