Joseph-Jeffrey’s Salon & Color Studio

Love this salon. My stylist is Jeff. He does amazing work! Everyone in this salon is kind and welcoming. I’ve also gone to Shannon for my color. She is truly talented. Very strong team work ethic. I would recommend everyone try this salon. Thumbs up all the way around!

I have been satisfied with my color service in the past but after my last visit, I will not be returning. I called in to book an appointment for a full head of highlights and asked for their latest available appointment. I was told 630 pm and booked the appointment. I felt rushed and was talked into a different service than I originally came in for. The stylist decided that instead of giving me highlights (and low lights I requested) she would dye my roots and that would suffice since the dark roots were what was bothering me. In theory this would have been fine if it actually achieved the results I was looking for. Instead of the blonde I wanted, I ended up with red roots. When I told her I was unhappy with the way it looked she went into the back to get bleach to do the highlights I had originally requested. I could tell she was not pleased which in turn made me feel pretty uncomfortable. After dying my roots and then half heartedly throwing some bleach highlights on top, I now have pieces of orange in my roots and it’s so concentrated that it looks like I just got my hair dyed, not highlighted. In addition to this, she told me that she did the same exact color service as last time (huh? I don’t remember it looking like this…). I was charged the same amount even though I did not get a hair cut during this visit.
While she was rinsing my hair she told me I could return to «add darker pieces» since she felt she had talked me out of what I originally wanted. I think she could sense that I was unhappy. I was and I am. I have no intentions of spending extra time and money at this salon to fix something that should have been done the way I had asked from the beginning.
Most people ask to book an appointment in the evening because they have work or other obligations which prevent them from coming in at an earlier time. If this is not a good time for the stylists to perform this service, they shouldn’t book it. Rushing and changing a service to accommodate your own schedule while your client walks out of the salon unhappy isn’t the way to keep them.

JJ’s is a very nice salon overall. It’s classy and elegant and some of the stylists give great haircuts. I’ve been going to Shannon for a few years and I love the way she cuts my hair. She personally gets 5 stars. The main reason for my 3 star review is simple: cash only! This is soooo inconvenient. It’s 2014… get with the times. I understand you lose 2% to the credit card companies but that’s a small price to pay to give your customers a very crucial convenience.

I used to get my haircut by Jeff back in the early 90s when I was a kid. The crazy thing is I just went back after being out of the area for over twenty years and he remembered who I was and even remembered my parents. The service is excellent and timely. I don’t ever recall having to wait longer then a few minutes. Nothing seems to have changed in that department in the last 20 years. I think the pricing is very competitive. A men’s haircut is $ 30 which is great in my opinion. I don’t get a basic buzz cut. Jeff is awesome but when I went back he was booked up so I went with Danielle. She did an excellent job and I have been back to her twice now. No complaints and lots of compliments from my students. Very happy and highly recommended!

I have VERY mixed feelings about this place but I think I’m willing to give it another try. I booked an appointment this past weekend with Christopher based on the reviews here. I arrived 8 min late for my appointment because google maps this place incorrectly (and when I called to ask for directions I was put on hold for 3 minutes). It’s in the shopping center next to Giant and not out by the train tracks! As I walked in the door, Christopher was finishing someone up and said would be with me in a min so I went to use the restroom. When I came out, he wasn’t around so I waited up at the front; he came in shortly and we sat down. He looked at my hair, asked what I needed (simple trim and blow out) and he said he wasn’t sure if there was enough time. I looked perplexed as I didn’t exactly ask for anything out of the norm so he explained that he would feel rushed as we only had 15 minutes — I then confirmed that my appt was indeed at 10:30am and he said yes but it’s now 10:45. I realize I came in 8 minutes late but to my defense, I was at the google location at 10:30 and when I walked in he was still with another client! Plus, who books a women’s haircut WITH a blow dry for 30 min??? I specifically confirmed that the haircut included a blow out cause I had an event that evening and the appointment lady assured me that it was included in the price. Anyway, so he says to me that he will ask someone else to do the blow out and walked me over to the washing station stating someone would wash my hair. I sat there for 5 minutes and no one did anything. Then, another lady came over to tell me that she would be taking over my haircut because Christopher couldn’t do it and that she couldn’t take me until 11. How unprofessional of him to not even come by and apologize himself and ask me if it would be ok for someone else to cut my hair!!? I was then moved to a side chair to wait until 11. At this point, I wanted to scream and get the hell out of this place and I’d rate it a ZERO if I could. However, I talked to my husband and he got me to calm down and give the lady a try, so I did.
At 11 the other lady was still cutting someone’s hair so I got up to ask her for a new estimate, she said she was finishing up and sent me to the hair washing station yet again. Someone came by and washed my hair and left me sitting there for a good 5 minutes. Finally, at about 11:15 the owner of the salon came and got me, had me sit at Maureen’s station, the lady taking over my haircut, and apologized for the delays. He also told me that the haircut was on him. Maureen was very nice. She asked me what I wanted to do and did a great job cutting my hair. She also blew it out nicely and even flat ironed it for a polished look. At some point, Christopher came around with his next customer and fauxpologized (aka mumbled some I’m sorry statement) and I also learned that he had some hair splinter in his finger and was out of sorts (Maureen filled me in). SO I think I’m going to call this a wash and give them 3 stars with hope of a better experience next time.

Love this salon! Everyone is very nice and the atmosphere is calming. Ask for Jacquee if you are female and Christopher if you are male. Jacquee is an amazing colorist who actually teaches coloring classes. I have heard from my guy friends that Christopher is really good at cutting hair as well.
Prices are affordable for Newtown/​Yardley area, just make sure you bring cash or check because the only downside to this salon is they don’t take even debit cards!

Ask for Christopher, who is why I am writing this review.
I was with my last hair stylist/​cutter for 9 years… every 2 – 3 weeks. Imagine trying to find another one after all that time. We didn’t break up, I just ended up moving.
So I have tried a barber shop (old school in Princeton shopping center — $ 25/​haircut), La Jolie in Princeton ($ 45/​cut), David Witchell ($ 65/​cut) in Newtown but none were a good fit.
Christopher is very personable, listens well, and does a great job at cutting somewhat coarse asian hair. And on top of it, I can go corporate during the day and go spiky/​mohawk when on the town.
Ok, so I have a small crush.
Really any guy would be comfortable.
Make sure you bring cash or check!
