Hair By Joey Salon Seattle

I have been going to Joey's phenomenal private hair studio for years and could not be happier with the service he provides. I can rest assured that Joey will always make my hair look amazing! Trusting my hair to anyone else would be unimaginable.

Posted 10/28/09

OK, if you're like me and have read all the glowing reviews for Hair by Joey plastered all over the web, you might be taking a tiny cynical moment to wonder if they all could possibly be real.... and after my first visit, I am writing my first review on Yelp to assure you that yes, the guy is absolutely for real. Joey is some kind of talent.

The odds were against us: I was late for my first visit, I don't speak hair, and my hair has a freaky wave pattern that causes my husband to give me long mystified looks after all the disappointing cuts I've received from almost every stylist I've tried over the years (He'll say, "Um, did you tell them about that place on your head where your hair does that weird thing? Because it's still there.) Plus I'm middle-aged with prematurely all-white hair and live in dread of getting the scary old-lady cut.

Joey pulled it off in spades. He made me feel like we had all the time in the world. He asked me about my hair routine and took me seriously when I said I pretty much put my head upside down and blast it with a blow dryer. He didn't laugh (at least out loud) when I described the best cut I'd ever gotten as "sort of a rock star cut". Then he translated it all back for me and he'd completely gotten it--turns out I like funky, tousled, wispy, chunky. With bangs.

I walked out of there with the best, funkiest, coolest haircut I've ever had. A lot of people have said that Joey has a way of matching the hair to the person and I agree--he captured just how I wanted to look and feel. And the cut is completely easy to manage, my hair just falls into place and looks great. Unbelievable but true. Give Joey a try; odds are you'll love him!

Pros: Parking, Everything Else

Cons: Nothing

After living in Seattle for over 8 yrs and never seeing the same stylist more than twice, I'm glad to say I'll be seeing Joey for my third appointment this week! Joey was able to give me a great haircut that matches my lifestyle and flatters my features. In the past, I wore my hair in a ponytail since it took too long to style. Now I wear my hair down everyday, spend minimal effort getting ready in the mornings and get all too many compliments :) Thanks Joey!

Pros: Parking, Location

Cons: None

I moved to United states about an year ago and was very reluctant to get my hair styled ..Being an Asian , I have long thick hair and could not trust any hairdresser to understand what I wanted
Thank God!! I trusted the reviews for Joey on citysearch and tried him..
He understands Hair, gave a relaxing hair massage, Perfect sophisticated cut followed by excellent haircare tips...I should have written this review just after getting my hair done..
I feel so beautiful now and My husband is so impressed about Joey's work that we both got an appointment for ourselves for the next visit..
I would definetely try different hair styles and Highlights henceforth...
Also, I found it affordable for such a great work on hair.
Thanks Joey, C U Soon

I love, love, love my hair. Right after leaving the studio I sat in my car and took a picture with my phone to send to my best friend. Her comment? ?Oh my GOSH! Its like he knew you and knew exactly what your hair should look like!? I had to play hockey that night and all the girls in the locker room ooh?d and aah?d over the color. (I waited until absolutely the last minute before getting on the ice to put my helmet on too! ) The cut is fantastic and the color is absolutely perfect, so perfect, in fact, that people that don?t see me all the time say something like, ?You look great!? But they aren?t entirely sure what is making me look so different. I really just look like I have the cut and color that I should have! Thanks again. It?s a long haul over from Wenatchee, but you can bet I?ll be making it again!

Pros: Knows how to cut for wash and wear!

Cons: I have to drive from Wenatchee! :)

I've lived in Seattle for over 2 years and have tried many, many different places (small ones, large chains and everything in between). This is the first place that I loved the experience while I was there and I loved the result when I left. It is a private salon so you are the only one there to get your hair done. Joey let me know that this was my experience, and if I preferred to chat, he is there for that, or if I prefer to relax and read, that's great too. I LOVED this because sometimes I love talking to the stylists but other times I just want to relax, read and not feel pressured to answer mindless questions that I've found other stylists to ask. Joey was very interested in what I had to say about my hair, and then he gave great advice about the cut and color and I left with hair that I love. I will definitely be going back; he definitely knows his hair.

Pros: Knowledgeable, comfortable, friendly

Cons: Wish he was downtown!

Posted 05/28/09

Joey is a proficient, gifted artist that makes his beautiful hair art seem effortless and genuinely individualized. God Gifted Stylist, for sure. What a DELIGHTFUL experience, front to back.....you can trust his confident hands on your head to produce results that last when the rubber meets the road ...and your haircut just falls into place at 5:30 am because it is precision cut just for YOUR head. Bless you Joey! Linda

Pros: Start to finish, Great Hair Salon Experience!

Cons: zero.

Posted 05/20/09

I was looking for a confident stylist who could offer me a haircut with some style....well I found it. Not only is Joey a true professional, but he enjoys what he does and makes you feel truly comfortable. He offers a personalized experience tailored to your needs, and you leave with a great cut and color. I won't be going anywhere else!

Posted 04/24/09

I have been avoiding layers for 15 years due to one bad hair cut long ago. Joey talked me into it and I love it. I havent had a stylist in 3 years and now I dont know how I can ever go with out him! If you need a change and have no idea what you want I recommend letting joey help...or even if you know exactly what u want..go see joey!

Pros: so friendly and of course the foot massager

Cons: he isnt my personal stylist!

Posted 04/13/09

I had become discouraged with my upscale salon in Seattle....cut and colour were never consistent. Joey did the best cut and colour I have ever had. The atmosphere of the salon is pleasant and relaxing...it's an experience in itself. I love this place! I won't be needing to look for another stylist for a long time. I am so pleased with my hair colour (red) and my cut (very current!) This is the best kept secret in Seattle....truly upscale with moderate prices!

Pros: The best in cut and colour by Joey

Cons: none

Posted 03/12/09

Joey just gave me the best haircut I ever had, and I'm looking back at 50. My hair is curly post-chemo hair that has been difficult to manage the last couple of years. But after Joey worked his magic, my hair looked great when I left the shop. But here is where the magic really started to work. My hair looked great after I washed and dried it at home, and still looked great 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the cut. I wanted something short, stylish, and easy to manage. I got what I asked for. This is a new experience for me, normally I get only one of the three, to get three out of three is terrific.

And not only was the haircut great, so was the experience. Joey is down-to-earth yet artistic; a good listener yet a good conversationalist.

Well done.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Posted 03/12/09

I have been going to Joey for cuts and colors for months now, and I am very glad to have found him. He not only is very skilled and talented but he is genuinely caring about people's appearances. He has a very loyal client group, and works in a private salon that is impressive and pampering. I didn't think it was possible for my curly hair to look this good, but Joey has created a cut and color for me that I get compliments on all the time. A big thanks to Joey, and anyone would be lucky to find him as a hairstylist.

Pros: Everything and Free Parking That's Easy to Find

Cons: None

Posted 03/03/09

This is the only place I go for a cut and highlights anymore. Whenever I'm feeling blah due to too many bad hair days, I know it's time for a visit to Joey...and I always leave happy and feeling pretty again. Seriously...best thing to happen to my hair EVER!

Joey's studio is very relaxing and upscale feeling, with a great mix of music playing at all times. I just started coming here about 3 months ago because I heard a lot of good things...and am so glad I did!

Posted 02/14/09

I got the best haircut - possibly ever - from Joey at the Hair by Joey studio
.
Most of us know how good it feels to walk out of the salon with great hair, only to be entirely unable to ever recreate it at home. But, somehow Joey cut my hair so that I barely do anything to it and it looks just as great - amazing!

Plus he totally understood what I was thinking of for a hair change, and made great suggestions. And I really liked that he spent a lot of time going over my (very straight) hair to get the layers just right. He's just awesome.

I got a cute, stylish and easy-to-deal-with haircut that is also - so important - really me. Absolutely, positively: go here!

Pros: Everything including parking and great studio relaxing vibe

Cons: Nothing

Posted 02/09/09

I went to this salon on a recommendation from a friend. I'm so glad I did because it's the best experience I have had at a salon so far! Joey has had years of experience, so he knows what he's doing and you can trust his judgment. I love that he is not afraid to tell you whether or not your ideas are going to be challenging for you or fabulous on you. He has endless ideas for how to improve your look if you want to improve it, including face structure, skin color, eye colors and even your lifestyle. His studio is so personalized, beautiful and relaxing. I was offered some great organic coffee in a personal french press! It was amazing. With super reasonable pricing, you will definitely get what you pay for. I am completely in love with my cut and highlights.

Pros: unique, relaxing, very clean, comfortable

Cons: none

Posted 01/24/09

I was new to the area and was desperately seeking a "go to" hair stylist with no luck. (previous encounters I had at other salons included razored hair "to thin" my hair and not really listening to what I wanted aka interesting highlights or Ronald McDonald hair). I read about Hair By Joey on Citysearch and thought I would give it a try.

Joey genuinely does great hair! He took time to explain everything in detail with me before doing my hair and was very thorough. He did exactly what I wanted. ( I had brought in a picture and he duplicated the look) The whole time, he was very kind and down-to-earth, and answered any questions I had. The environment was beautifully warm and welcoming. I am grateful to finally find a hair stylist I can trust! Joey you are the best! :-)

Pros: Great location, great products, excellent stylist

Posted 01/02/09

I have lived in the Seattle area off and on for over 20 years, and as you can imagine, have gone through several hairstylists since that time. Joey is the most friendly, reliable, professional, creative, patient, accommodating, and affordable hair stylist I've ever had! I know when I visit him for a haircut and color that I will leave feeling refreshed, revitalized, clean, happy, and beautiful. Joey is not only a good listener (how important is that in a hair stylist?), but he brings new ideas and fun through a very professional and positive attitude. I strongly recommend him to anyone of any age. His hair studio is a totally pampering treat, too!

Hair by Joey
As many others did after reading stellar reviews on City Search about Joey's cuts, I had high expectations.

My cut was on Dec.10, 2008; today is Dec. 27. Joey is charming; his studio is lovely. He appeared to listen to my haircut wish list. When I came in, my hair was cut in a "page boy" - about 1-1/2 inches below my ears. Slightly shorter in back but cut evenly all around. I told Joey I'm trying to let it grow another 2 inches, so I don't want shorter. I wanted it pretty much as it was, but with a little (even) layering in the back.

I told him I am allergic to most styling products; I need a simple, neat haircut that doesn't require them. I was a bit concerned to see a fair amount of hair on the floor, but when he handed me the mirror at the end, it did look neat. However, the next day when I shampoo-ed it and tried to style it, I found it had been "feathered" about 1-1/2 inches up along the back - in an uneven and chunky manner that I have no idea how to control. Too short for the round brush.

Three+ weeks later, same story. Yes, I'm disappointed. When I went in, it was almost to where I wanted it. Now it's another 3 months for the back to even out. OK, it is ok from the front, which is why I rate it 3 stars.

A couple of weeks after the cut someone named Pam said Joey had asked her to call to see how I like the cut. I told her, and she said Joey would probably like me to come in so he could fix it. I said no, it's already too short.

As an aside, some folks on the review page seem to consider $55 inexpensive; I don?t, especially with a $10 tip on top. But worth it for a great cut.

Posted 12/26/08

I'm slow to try new things, but finally decided to go from long hair to short. I was nervous and so was my husband. But not Joey! He was confident and did a superb job. My husband liked my long hair, but it rarely inspired spontaneous compliments from him. The new short 'do' does that. He recently said, "You know, I liked your hair just fine before, but I think your bad short hair days are better than your good long hair days."

Joey is gracious, friendly and professional. His salon is lovely. A great experience all around and I'll be a regular.

Posted 12/08/08

I am in my early 50s and have extremely curly crazy hair. Many hair stylists, some with curly hair themselves, have cut it over the years but I never got a style that was really cute and easy to care for, and I've had every imaginable length and cut (including Gypsy Shag, Afro and Super Short). For more than a decade, I solved the problem by just growing it very, very long and forcibly restraining it in a curly ponytail with big hair clips or a bun. But the time comes to grow up and cut the hair, so based on the fabulous reviews on this site, I went to Joey. He cut it shoulder length to start, and when I told him I wasn't afraid to go shorter, to chin length, and it now looks FABULOUS ALL THE TIME. Even when I get up in the morning, or shake it out of the ball cap I use to run in, or take it out of a towel after showering, it looks GREAT. My husband says I look 10 years younger, and my husband already liked the way I looked before this cut. I would just add that as everyone else says, Joey is a great listener, has a beautiful peaceful studio, and gives an outrageous scalp massage . . . but above all this man is an artist with hair. (I was also very impressed with the beautiful blond color work he did with the woman before me.) I'm a total Joey fan now.

Pros: Ambience, Skill, Patience, Listening Ability, Reasonable Prices

Cons: Parking is tricky

Posted 11/05/08

I got my second haircut today with Joey. My first cut was with him about 5 or 6 weeks ago and I couldn't believe that I actually did like and enjoy my haircut. I can honestly say that this is the first time in over 20years that I really enjoyed how my hair looked. I have thick curly hair and for those of you out there with the same hair type you know how hard it is to get a good cut and style. I had just moved from Bainbridge Island and finding Joey through city search made me feel so much better about relocating to Seattle. I also feel beautiful and confident because of the way my hair looks and feels. I just got a compliment tonight on how great my hair looks from one of my neighbors. She wanted Joey's address. Believe me, I get quite a few complements on how great my hair looks. As soon as my sister comes to visit from Baltimore I am taking her to get a cut with him. Now the only problem I have is worrying about when he goes on vacation. I hope he takes short vacations!

Ambience and conversation is also very stimulating! Joey goes out of his way to make everyone feel at home.

Pros: Skill, Knowledge on what looks good! Great Music! Relaxing atmosphere.

Cons: none

Posted 10/27/08

I absolutely LOVE this place, and I owe that all to Joey. He is amazing...I have never had so many compliments on my hair. He is always willing to try new things when I am up for it, yet he's awesome about the "just a trim" days too. He completely understands what my hair will do and what I won't, and always has a nice long conversation whenever I want to do something that he thinks might not work the way I think it will. I love going to him, and I would NEVER go anywhere else in the city. Also, he is never pushy about products, but always has the best suggestions when I ask for them. With great prices and a decidedly down to earth and uniquely beautiful atmosphere in the salon, you can't go wrong. I grab a couple of his cards every time I'm in, and by the next time I see him I have already given all of them to people asking where I got that great hair.

Posted 10/10/08

I have been searching for someone who would give me what I wanted in a hair cut and color! Well, after 5 years of struggle, I found him and what an awesome feeling. I have never left a salon so excited about a hair do in a very long time. The color, people who see me are still raving about it, and the cut is exactly what I asked for! Joey is indeed the BEST!!! I found the salon/studio very inviting, warm, tastefully decorated and comfortable.

Pros: Friendly, Comfortable, Knows What He's Doing, Parking

Cons: None

Posted 10/09/08

Joey created a hairstyle for me that was versatile and classic. I'm a college student and am often misdiagnosed for wanting something trendy when I go into salons because of my age. Usually, I am left unhappy and with a haircut that is unmanagable and unflattering! I appreciated Joey's ability to make a connection between my overall sense of style with a hairstyle that would complement it perfectly. He didn't stray from my vision, he only added to it in a positive way. He was very honest in giving his opinion for what would look best on me, and I never got the impression that he was merely telling me what I wanted to hear. I left a little bit more relaxed, with a great hair cut, and with some education about how to style my hair. What more could you ask for? By the way, as soon as I showed my mom my hair, she booked an appointment the next day. I think that should say enough!

Pros: Great advice, great skill

Posted 10/08/08

Going to Joey to get my hair cut and highlighted is always a pleasure. Joey is very welcoming and down-to-earth. The atmosphere is always relaxing and the attitude is always positive. I would recommend the prices, availability, and creativity. Also the personalized discussion on how you want your hair to be is very positive. Overall a 10+...

Pros: good parking, great customer service and attitude, great hair

Cons: none

Posted 10/08/08

He put lots of stuff in my hair which made my hair look good until they were washed.
Hair can look good by putting lots of liquids and sprays ANYTIME. I believe AFTER having a haircut the hair should look good naturally without the lotions.
The haircut was not good the first time.When I washed my hair they didnt even looked like they were cut!
My hair are thick and at the end they are wavy. I have volume and bounce both. It really takes lots of skill and experience for anyone to do them justice.
He had asked me to come down again if it didnt look right .This was nice of him but I simply regret going the second time!
He used sizzers very roughly to cut down my volume, the second time. He was also saying cutting is not his specialty but coloring is while cutting my hair!
I was constantly feeling the pull on my head when he was cutting it. I felt like I was being punished for coming down there second time.
I was not happy with the end result. I didnt like the look and was never so unhappy in my life! The hair were cut unevenly and was totally disaster. I had to grow them till I could get a next good haircut!

Posted 10/06/08

Joey has turned my hair into something that I look forward to styling each day. I lived for a long time, not quite knowing which cut and style would work for my hair. Joey and I had a great conversation all about what would make me look best...and he definitely made it happen. I love my haircut and color, and I feel great about how I look and will not go to a new stylist as long as Joey is in business! He works in a very comfortable and stylish space and is a kind person too. Very unique...and fantastic! I highly recommend him.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Posted 10/06/08

I cannot rave enough!.... I had a bit of a hair "mishap" at another salon and called Joey for help.Not only did he fit me in the same day, but he TOTALLY fixed the problem and now I love my hair! I wont be going elsewhere.

Posted 10/03/08

Joey is the stylist everyone wants. He's great at haircuts and colors, and really cares about what you want to achieve with your appearance. He does not have a huge ego that I've seen with other stylists, and has a charisma and calm confidence all at the same time. I have had a hard time finding a stylist who I trust my hair with, and Joey is the one for me. You will immediately feel comfortable when you set foot in his amazing studio. It's so unique and wonderful - and is truly pampering. Great stylist, studio atmosphere, free and easy parking and very reasonable prices. I'm sticking with this guy.

Posted 09/27/08

I found Joey through a friend's recommendation, and set an appointment. It is hard to find the right person to do my hair, so I was more than a little nervous. I've tried a few other stylists, but they don't listen well or have the level of care for each client that Joey has. He really took the time to get to know what I was looking for in a new style and color. I've heard great things about his level of integrity from my friend, and she is right. He did a wonderful job on my cut and color, and I will definitely be back to him. It is so great to have found a solid stylist who is so great at what he does.

Posted 09/23/08

Joey worked me in at the last minute, which I really appreciated. He seemed to work really hard to give me what I was looking for by asking lots of questions about what I liked and didn't like about previous cuts I had had from other stylists. Because we were both in a hurry, I told him he could skip the wash and dry part of the service, which he did. After my very basic cut (I have long straight hair), he surprisingly charged me $55, which is his published price for a haircut and style. Since we'd omitted the wash, dry and styling part of the service, I asked what the price would have been had he done it all. He replied, "$65" and then added "because you have long hair", in response to what must have been a strange look on my part. His published prices don't mention anything about charging differently for different hair lengths, wash, dry and/or style options. When I got home, I realized that one side of my hair was slightly longer than the other side; this may have been rectified had I gotten the whole wash, dry and style part of the service. Nevertheless, $55 is pretty steep for a basic cut without extra services.

Posted 09/21/08

I found Joey through a web search when I was looking for stylists in the north end, and I was really impressed with all his great reviews. Last Thursday I went in for a cut and highlights, and I must say he has earned all those compliments. For the first time in ages, I've found a hairstylist who REALLY LISTENS. Joey did exactly what I asked for. I'm in the middle of a growout, and even though I asked my last stylist to please not cut certain portions of my hair, she did so, which set the growout back for months. As such, I was afraid this time to go back to her. But Joey managed to spruce up my growout, focusing on texture and shape, without cutting off the length at all. And he cut my wavy hair when it was dry, which makes so much sense! Other stylists have tried to cut it wet, and then have forced it to dry a certain way with blowdryers, which I've never liked. But now, with Joey's cut, it's easy to style and it can just dry naturally. After his haircut, two people have actually told me my hair looks longer! I've also asked past stylists for subtle highlights, and then I've walked out totally bleached blonde - not so with Joey. He gave me a very nice, brightening highlights, but subtle like I wanted. He was also a very nice guy - just the right amount of small talk. More than anything, he really sat down and talked with me before pulling out the scissors - which felt very professional and reassuring. Oh, and the shiatsu foot massage thingamabob was very relaxing. It made it kind of fun to wait under the dryer. Also, he sold me this Alterna "caviar anti aging" hair styling product that does seem to work for thickening my hair. I'll definitely be heading back to Joey in a couple months when it's time for my next hair appointment.

Posted 09/17/08

I had my first appointment with Joey today, and, I must say, I was 100% satisfied from start to finish. Not only is he a nice guy, he really knows his stuff. I had long, over-bleached hair, and Joey transformed it into a beautiful head of hair I can be proud of. He colored it with beautiful highlights and then gave me a superb cut. I had bounced from one stylist to another never getting any satisfaction - mostly because they didn't listen to what I really wanted. They just did what they wanted. Joey listened, and did exactly what I asked for. Thanks bunches, Joey. You're the man! I'll see you in November!!

I got a FABULOUS haircut at Hair by Joey. He asked me what I wanted, looked over how my hair grows, communicated well and the results make me feel like I have the best haircut I have ever received. I have somewhat curly/wavy hair and have always had trouble with finding a good cut and style to look great. I will definitely be back, because I feel even more attractive (significantly) than when I got there!

While I was there, I saw a color he had just finished for another client and it looked really incredible!

I was really wondering about all of these great reviews, had to check it out, and understand why people love this studio and stylist.

Pros: Ambience, unique and wonderful studio, Joey's experience and style, parking is easy and free

Cons: None

Posted 09/14/08

Just had my 4th appointment with Joey and I am yet another 100% satisfied customer. As a 46-year-old Seattle native, you'd assume that I would have had my "own" stylist for years now. That just wasn't the case -- I bumbled along from stylist to stylist, looking for someone who could understand my hair issues (straight in front, curly in back), do something with them and help me get a "look" that I could repeat at home. I was on the eternal quest. But then I found Joey. Now, four cuts (and dozens of compliments) later, I can say that I have my own look and my own stylist! Joey, you're awesome!

Pros: love the head massage

Cons: none

Posted 09/11/08

Joey is a fantastic stylist. I love my cut and the color is perfect! He genuinely listens to what you want and provides input when you need it. The results are always excellent! His studio is very comfortable and Joey makes you feel right at home. Now it's a treat to get my hair done and not a chore I put off for too long.

Posted 09/10/08

I've never had hair extensions before, but it was time to try them. Denise was highly recommended, and I have never seen a stylist as detail-oriented and focused on perfection as her. She spent such quality time with me for the consultation, and she is such a great listener. Then when she did the extensions, she was not lacking in ANY WAY...the finished product was something you would see in Hollywood; you would never know that they were extensions. They looked fabulous! She is a keen listener, a great conversationalist, and best of all a skilled extension stylist. Thank you Denise!

Pros: Skill, Atmosphere, Value, Flexible on Scheduling, Caring

Cons: None

Posted 09/04/08

Ever since moving to Seattle 7 years ago I have flitted among hair stylists. Some salons were just so crazy busy that they were never on time and rushed through the services. Others left me sitting for ages while they finished with someone else and none of the cuts were creative. Then I found Joey. Joey is that rare thing in a hair stylist: someone who is creative enough to pull off an original and beautifuly haircut while also putting his ego aside enough to listen to what you want.

Joey has cut my hair from very long to shoulder length which was great, done another cut and color at mid-length and now cut it short in a kind of pixie crop. I have loved all of them.

Plus, the individual attention - tea and chocolate, a calm salon, a great massage and a foot rubber while you wait - all make it more than the usual factory-hair-salon experience.

If you were a superstar you would have a more expensive version of Joey do your hair like this. Why not have it now!

Pros: Listens, creative, original, parking easy, individual attention

Cons: None

Posted 08/18/08

I have always had long hair and dread going to the hair salon. I have had too many bad experiences and have never gone to the same place/person twice. I was impressed by all of Joey's fantastic citysearch reviews and thought I'd give him a try. To my surprise he was able to fit me in that very afternoon. Joey's salon is set in his beautiful Seattle house and the studio itself was tranquil and welcoming. I was happy with Joey's knowledge and artistic opinion. The private setting gave off an "all about me" atmosphere which was well recieved seeing as THIS hair is attatched to MY head. Not to mention the shampoo and scalp massage was to die for and seemed to last forever! I was very satisfied and loved the way my hair looked when all was done. I didn't even have to fix anything once I got into the car. I was, without hesitation, ready to make a follow-up appointment. I would highly recommend Joey to anyone.

Pros: Ambience, Personal attention, Professionalism

Cons: Nothing

Posted 08/10/08

There really isn't one piece of constructive criticism that I could offer about this salon. After years of trekking to downtown Seattle, spending a lot of money and receiving a lot of attitude, Hair by Joey studio has made getting my hair done an enjoyable experience again.

First of all, I found the atmosphere very relaxing and beautiful. Secondly, I received the best cut and color (thank you Joey) that I can remember. Usually my color starts to fade after a couple of weeks, but it still looks just as good today as it did when I had it done. Joey really listened to what I had in mind for the style and then offered a number of different suggestions of how to achieve the look.

I am 100% satisfied with my style and color and very happy that I found a permanent hair salon again. Thanks again, Joey. See you in a few weeks.

Pros: Joey's a pro!

Cons: None

I love this place!!! The atmosphere is so welcoming and unique and Joey is very down to earth. I had my hair cut and colored, and he did such a great job bringing the picture in my head to life. I always know what I want, but can never put it in to words. It seemed as though he was reading my mind, and I love that!! I've had so many bad experiences in the past, but not anymore. I recommend this place to any and everyone, I promise you won't be disappointed!!!

Pros: Unique and special atmosphere, great stylist, non-pretentious, affordably priced, great cut and color, parking

Cons: none

Before Joey, I thought going to the dentist was more fun that getting my haircut. He didn't judge me for showing up in yoga pants, dying my own hair or my usual stylng method of using the car vents as a hairdryer. He really fixed up my hair and I feel like my hair is the best it's been in a long time. Even though I work in Georgetown with a salon right next door; I'll drive to North Seattle for hair services with Joey from now on.

Pros: Easy to find, easy parking, joey is super friendly, and free chocolate.

Cons: none

Since going to Joey I've had sooooo many compliments on my hair color. I love going to his salon and relaxing and letting Joey do what is best for my complexion and personality! I've looked for years for a color specialist and have found him. Thank you Joey!

Pros: You won't be sorry

Cons: None

Last week I visited the Hair by Joey Salon. I wanted the "same" hairstyle and color that was done before. Since there was a mix up and the colors were not recorded from the last visit, Joey consulted with me and tried to get an idea of exactly what i wanted. The hair color that was unveiled after taking out the foil was a shade too dark for me and was not exactly what i had envisioned for summer.. Joey was fast to remedy the situation and stood by his guarantee of complete, 100% customer satisfaction and allowed me to come in on Saturday morning so that he could fix my hair before I attended a wedding. After the session I left with the perfect hair color-exactly to my liking. He did a great job and made sure that I was well taken care of.

I love going to see Joey to get my hair cut and colored. He is not only knowledgeable, but he truly notices and cares about what will work for me personally. He's the best listener as a stylist that I have ever encountered. He works in a studio atmosphere that is really relaxing and different than anything out there. I have naturally pretty fine hair, and he is able to give me a consistent cut that compliments my hair type and face shape/personal style. He also recommends the best products for styling my fine hair. He's not pretentious or arrogant, but is clearly one of the best stylists in Seattle. If you can get an appointment with him (he's in high demand), you are going to love it!

Pros: Skill, Listening, Personalized Service, Parking, Salon Atmosphere

Cons: None

Joey is an amazing hairstylist! He not only pays attention to you and really cares, but he knows exactly what to do with my curly hair that gets out of control between visits to him! He has a down-to-earth and friendly personality, and he gave me a color that perfectly fits me and a cut that is to die for. Joey, you are great!

Just had to put a review out here and let folks know that Joey does cut guy?s hair too ? and rather nicely I might add. After doing the ?pony tail software guy? look for about 15 years I started searching around for somewhere to get my rather fine and wispy pile of hair tamed. After stopping by some decidedly snotty establishments on Capitol hill and getting a little psyched out I came across Joey?s great reviews on City Search and sent him an email asking if he could help. To my surprise he emailed me back just a few hours later with some before and after pictures to look at. Nice. Setup an appointment for the following week and then sat around fretting about it.

I was a little scared about getting something too ?hip? or a style I couldn?t manage to replicate on my own in the morning or required a bunch of exotic ?product? and the like. All reasons why I gave up in the early 90s and just started pulling it back. Joey totally put me at ease, gave me a great cut that I?m liking a lot (and so are my friends and co workers) and is super easy to manage. Huge improvement, glad I finally decided to go for it.

C?mon you rockers ? the band is so not getting back together ? time to get a decent look. Software guys ? ditch the suspenders and the ponytails ? you can do it. Give Joey a call.

Pros: Great atmosphere, quick worker, wife-approved haircut

Cons: none

Joey himself is nothing short of stellar. His salon is a welcoming, calm & relaxing spot. And his special shampoo massage adds to the pleasure of the experience. HEAVENLY! He honored all my requests and executed them quickly & professionally. We shared enjoyable & interesting conversations. He's at ease with anyone and never acted in a hurry. Being an 'old hippie chick', who gets a hair cut every 3-4 years, I went in to have my extra long hair removed for donation. Everything went smoothly and I left with a spring in my step & my remaining hair swinging. I was relieved that he didn't try to talk me into something out of my comfort zone. He's a jewel and I will see him again. You'll be delighted with the the special attention you receive. I certainly was.
Thanks, Joey, for a wonderful time. I'm so glad I picked Hair by Joey for this cut. Connie

Pros: JOEY, Special Attention to Detail, Ambience

OK, so I am a stylist, and was looking for someone to go to for cut and color. I found Joey on city search and read the reviews. He sounded to be amazing. I decided to give him a try. First went in for a consultation, and was happy to hear that he knew what he was talking about. Then when I actually came in and got my haircut (no color) it was a NIGHTMARE!!!! Yes the scalp massage was great, but thats not what will make my hair look good. I had long curly hair that was overdue for a cut. I asked for facial framing that he did deliver, but to an extreme. Both my sides are cut to almost the same point, so when its curly i have "dog ears" and its horrible!!!! My layers are too short and all uneven. He left the length but only a little tail that hangs unnatached almost. It looks rediculous!!! I wore my bangs strainght across for a while, and decided to go back to side bangs. I asked Joey to just give them direction for side bangs and texturize them. He took a big chunk out right in the middle, and I have to keep them clipped up all the time. I look like a 5 year old!!!! Who had cut her own hair!!! I dont know how long it will take for my hair to grow into looking somewhat normal.
I had specifically told him at the consult that I dont like to have my hair flat ironed, but blown out straight( as I do for my clients on a regular daily basis). After my haircut, he blew my hair out upside down (not something I recommend for curly hair!!!). Then he put sooooo much silk infusion into my hair that it was like a grease ball!! Then he flat ironed it, what I asked him to not do to begin with!!!
I hate my hair, and I cant believe that its all messed up like it is now!!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND JOEY, FOR HE DOES NOT LISTEN!!!!

Pros: nice salon

Cons: hair cut, style !!
