Hair By Joey Salon Seattle

So this is how great Joey is, the day before my Sr. pictures I had my hair colourd. Now what was supposed to be done was t oturn my poorly self dyed red hair back to my natural dark brown, and get a trim whiel at it. My first mistake (besides trying to dye my hair myself) was to go some where besides derbys. The woman who did my hair dyed it BLACK! not only black mind you but that blue-ish black. Needless to say I wasnt thrilled. So that same day my mom asked me if I knew of anyone who could soften my look and make it more me for my pictures. First thing that came to mind was my best haircut, done by Joey. So when we called Joey we found out that it was his day off and that he was only in derbys to pick up a few things. Then finnaly when I was put threw to talk to Joey, and explained my situation he told me come in and he would fix my hair. Even on his day off! He did an amazing job, as usual, and my pictures turned out just how I wanted them. Trust the girl whose been there, Joey knows what he is doing.

Pros: Knows exactly what you want and does it right.

Joey gave me a great cut and I have very coarse, wavy hair so it can be difficult to find something that works well, but it did a fabulous job.

Posted 08/22/06

My first impressions of Joey was that he was incredibly professional. He took ample time listening to what I liked/disliked, and didn't rush right in to get the job done. It is obvious that he cares about his clientele, and he wants to be someone that you will return to again and again. While I loved my haircut, I was especially impressed with how well he took care of me while I was at the salon. He truly wants you to be 110% happy with the results.

Pros: personality, skills, price

Posted 08/17/06

I've been to so many different salons and had a hard time finding a stylist that listened to me. A friend recommended Joey and I was not disappointed. I brought in a few pictures so he could see what I was looking for and also what I was not looking for. He understood what I wanted and also made other suggestions and I love my hair. He is the coloring specialist! You will never walk out of his salon unhappy. Joey educates his clients about their hair type and what works for them. I can actually go home and style my hair the way he does. He's wonderful and also a lot of fun!

Pros: Client education, scalp massage, bumble & bumble products

Posted 08/11/06

I now LOVE my hair. Joey gives the best cuts and color! I can always tell a great cut by how long I can go between cuts and my hair still looks great two months later when I go back in to see Joey!! I recently got color and highlights from Joey (after many months of coloring it myself!!..yikes!)....and I will NEVER go back to coloring it myself, nor will I go anywhere else. If you want amazing hair, you must go see Joey. If you want someone that will give you personalized service and help you to look your best, you must go see Joey. He's the best in Seattle.

Pros: Personalized Service, Skill

Posted 08/07/06

After putting up with mediocre stylists I finally found Joey. Praise the lord! I have dry, curly, Asian hair (usually flat ironed) and was tired of other stylists playing it safe with my hair type and giving me standard cuts and color. Joey fit me in at short notice even though he was booked until the following month (he knocked a friend off :). Firstly Joey's demeanor is very charming and polite and puts you completely at ease so you can tell him exactly what you want and you don't feel crazy bringing in pictures of the look you want. Secondly he took time to ask about my lifestyle (corporate) and helped me to get the color I wanted (edgier) coupled with a few sanity checks (which I totally appreciated). I ended up with something acceptable to both me and my environment - Amazing!
Joey talks you through what he is doing so it's no surprise. He recommends products but there is no hard sell like other salons. I had a great head massage - and was not afraid to ask for the right pressure for me.
A few days later - although I liked my cut I thought I should have taken his recommendation to add more layers so when he called me to check a week later how I liked my hair I told him as much. Rocking Joey fit me into his tight schedule THAT WEEK (and on his day off) and thus I had my hair layered my hair to match my changing requirements!
Honestly when I first read the recommendations I thought they were all paid or friends - but go to Joey and you can't help but rave about him and your hair. I'm glad I found him - even though I am now moving to Vancouver BC - he is the only guy (apart from my dear boyfriend) who I will let touch my hair ever again. Worth the 3 hr trip. Thanks Joey!

Pros: Excellent knowledge, head massage, the best customer service EVER!

Posted 08/05/06

Like a lot of Joey's clients, I recently moved to Seattle. As much as I would have liked to time my trips back to Chicago with my need for a haircut and stay with my tried and true hairdresser, it just wasn't going to happen. I was in the process of trying to grow out my hair and was in despreate need of a little shaping. So I found Joey on citysearch and gave it a go. Joey was very accessible and I was able to get an appointment within a few days. Joey is genuinely a really nice guy (and former rock star...) and the cut was great! I liked him so much I booked my next cut and color before I left the Salon.

Pros: great price, great cut, great atmosphere

Posted 08/02/06

Joey really knows his stuff. He is highly educated, creative and excited about his work! He won't let you leave the salon without being 100% satisfied!

Pros: Easy to find, Convenient hours, Great Customer Service

Cons: Parking can be a bit of an issue, as it is everywhere in Seattle.

Posted 08/02/06

I felt like a canvas. Joey did a great job on my hair. I was so impressed because he asked me questions about my lifestyle and gave me a style accordingly. He also gave me an incredible hand and scalp massage, it was heaven!! Thanks Joey, I'll see you in 7 weeks!!

Pros: Professionalism, personality, great sytlist

Cons: Parking

Posted 08/02/06

I recently moved to Seattle and found Joey on Citysearch. I decided to give him a try based on the reviews I read, and they actually ended up being right on! I didn't know what I wanted exactly, but I came with pictures of what I wanted my hair to eventually look like after I have grown it out. I also knew I wanted a change with some sort of bangs to fix broken hair in the front of my head. Joey had great suggestions and made me feel comfortable with the changes in style. He fixed my problem spot and I still am happy with the style after a week! Joey does a great job and even called to follow up with me to be sure I was satisfied!

Posted 07/31/06

I've had so many brassy, orangey highlight jobs in the past that I find it difficult to relax in a stylist's chair. Joey, however, put me immediately at ease. After carefully listening to me describe what I wanted, he assured me that he could do it, and then he did--he gave me bright, beautiful highlights in exactly the shade I wanted! Ahhh...I can once again look forward to relaxing afternoons at the salon!

Pros: attentive service, highly skilled

Posted 07/31/06

Although I was about 30min late Joey took time to cut and style my hair! He made me feel comfortable in the salon and I had a great time. The best part is how great my hair looks!
I recommend Joey to everyone!

Pros: Parking, Haircut

Posted 07/30/06

I drove for three and a half hours to get to joey's salon and was very nervous about trying someone new. As soon as I met Joey, I felt like I knew him for years. He asked about my life style so that he could give me a hair style that would fit my life style.Joey gave me the best hair cut and color I ever had!!! I will continue to make the drive, he's worth every mile! thanks joey, jan

Posted 07/19/06

It used to be that on most mornings I wasn't sure what kind of "hair day" I'd have. Joey gave me a cut that works with my natural wave and not against it. He also showed me two different ways to style it if I felt like doing something more fun.

Pros: great haircut, relaxing scalp massage, good conversation

Cons: parking

Posted 07/09/06

The chic-chic salons usually seem to have an attitude equating the attention you give your hair to your level of morality, and the lower end salons - well, you just end up feeling a little demoralized and disappointed. Joey strikes the perfect balance of a great cut with impeccable service, leaving you with a smile for the rest of the day. There's no sales pressure, no critiquing your previous stylists, just positive smiles and genuinely interesting conversation and you actually forget you were there to get your hair cut. And somehow while you're chatting away you realize - wow, my hair looks amazing! I didn't even know it could look like that.

Practical pluses: great scalp massage, and really good instructions on how to make your hair look just as good when you're the one doing it.

The absolute best hair cut ever!!

Posted 06/29/06

I've never been happier with another hairstylist. Asian hair is super hard to work with for most stylists, but Joey nails it every time with a clean, fluid cut that makes my hair look polished and stylish. He calls the following week to make sure that I liked my cut, and even gives a relaxing scalp massage!

Joey is, by far, the best stylist I've ever met. He's really booked, so you have to (usually) call in advance for an appointment.

Pros: Customer Service, Scalp Massage, Timely

Cons: None!

Posted 06/23/06

Joey does fabulous work and provides you with extra special service. I even got a hand massage while I waited for my color to process! I've received tons of compliments on my hair, which doesn't usually happen. Highly recommend!!!

Pros: Excellent service, affordably priced

Posted 06/22/06

Joey has been cutting my hair for over 3 years now. My hair is short and curly. Joey has great ideas for new styles. He is not afraid of those unpredictable curls. He is patient and thorough. His reminder calls are key for a busy mother of three. He always follows up with a phone call after your appointment to see how you are liking your new hair style. Thanks Joey!

Posted 06/21/06

I've been in Seattle for three years and have had a hard time finding someone who does my hair the way I like. I'm REALLY picky, and have "challenging" hair I've been told. It is pretty unruly. Joey has consistantly given me great cuts and has helped me deal with my stubborn hair. He also is the best colorist I've ever found. Strangers stop me on the street to ask where I get my hair colored. Really, it's sort of crazy how often I get asked! A lot of my girlfriends now go to him too, and we are the best looking group of ladies you'll find! :) He's really nice too, and is very professional. He always calls the next day to see if I'm having any troubles with my new 'do and to make sure I'm delighted.

Pros: Joey's personalized consultations

Posted 06/18/06

What a fabulous day at the salon. A little coffee, a scalp massage and the perfect cut. I walked out of the salon feeling great. My husband loves my hair and I am amazed at how many people have commented on my hair. Its the hair cut that keeps on giving! This is the man you want to see for results you will love!

Posted 06/18/06

Joey rocked my hair! I love doing fun and new things with style, color, and cuts. Joey understood what I wanted and I came out of the salon with exactly what I wanted! I really like trendy, edgy, and keeping my hair long. Joey gave me the fun look I was hoping for. My husband loves it and I will definitely go back to Joey!
I have naturally curly hair, which as anyone with it knows it is hard to work with. Joey suggested and used some great new product to keep my hair conditioned and healthy!
I really appreciated his time and expertise!

Posted 06/17/06

A friend and her daughter recommended Joey. He has cut my hair twice and I'm satified with his work. I brought my teenage daughter to him, as well. What keeps me coming back is Joey's commitment to customer service. Working with a new customer is a learning experience, and Joey actively engages in learning about his customers, how their hair behaves, what they want, how they live.

I was impressed also by the way he uses electronic technology to make it easy to get in touch with him. His web-site is informative, listing e-mail address as well as phone number. And he's very responsive to both. My friend called him for an appointment, and he answered the phone while he was walking in Times Square in New York City! He wears a hands-free phone and even answered while cutting my hair. And he keeps his books in a PDA. But he isn't focused on the technology. He just takes advantage of it to communicate with his customers.

Another example of his commitment to customer service is his follow-up call. Most stylists will say that you're welcome to come back to adjust a cut or for free bangs-trims, but Joey really means it. In fact he routinely makes a follow-up call about a week after your visit, to ask if you are happy with his work and to offer to correct any problems.

What a guy!

Pros: Used my own hypoallergenic products

Cons: Parking

Posted 06/17/06

I was growing tired of my old stylist, so I decided to go to Joey after reading all the fabulous comments written by others. Joey's a great guy and very personable. I was able to communicate what I wanted and Joey did an outstanding job (men's cut & style). This is definitely the place to go if you want a fashionable style. The Salon has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere anybody will feel comofrtable in. I would definitely recommend Joey to all my friends.

Pros: Atmosphere, People, Everything imaginable actually..

Cons: The parking is fairly limited

Posted 06/16/06

I have loved all of the hair cuts and color jobs that Joey has done for me. I get compliments about my hair all the time - thank you!!!

Posted 06/05/06

I have been seeing Joey for haircuts and foils for over a year and a half and could not be more pleased. Even though my dark hair can be difficult to color, Joey always works with me to get the color just right. He always makes sure I am happy and goes the exrta mile to accomodate my ever-changing schedule. I give Joey's card to all of my friends. Even my boyfriend gets his hair cut by Joey and would never think to go to anyone else.

Posted 06/04/06

I find it hard to find a stylist that I trust to do any changes to my hairstyle, so I've kept my hairstyle since I was 16. After reading so many outstanding reviews of Joey here in Citysearch as well as recommendations from work, I decided to give it a shot. I felt super comfortable and totally trusted him. He changed my boring, dated hairstyle to something fun, easy to maintain and totally suits me! Feels like one of those "before - after" moments! Thanks Joey for the great haircut. You've ended my search for a stylist!

Pros: Listens to you, Reasonable price, Accomodating

Posted 06/02/06

I've been going to Joey for over a year now and I am very happy with his work. He is a calm and happy stylist - which makes my time in the chair a good one. He is a man of integrity and grace - I trust him completely to do a good job everytime I go for a cut or color.

Posted 06/01/06

The day after my last color and cut by Joey, a woman walked up to me at the bus stop raving about my hair. Who could ask for a better compliment?!?

Posted 05/23/06

This is one stylist I feel comfortable having cut my hair, even though I have curly hair and have had bad experiences in the past.

Posted 05/21/06

Relaxed guy who did a great job. Easy to contact and friendly.

Pros: very flexible

Cons: parking may be hard

Posted 05/21/06

I used to be fashionable, but in the last 10 years or so my focus has shifted from being pretty to being a single mom with a house and a career. A friend recommended Joey so I decided to go for it. He was great! He took my mousy, frumpy hair and transformed it into a sexy, up-to-date, EASY color & style. I'm so happy. Now I don't have to sacrifice my looks for my other priorities. AND I landed a man after my cut! Thanks Joey! ;-)

Pros: Free Wireless, Great Conversation, Fantastic Hair!

Posted 05/21/06

I have lived in Seattle for 6 years and never found a hair stylist that I liked enough to return to. I was so happy to find Joey and I am now a loyal customer. I am always happy with my cut and color. Joey genuinely cares about what you want and will take the time to talk with you about what you do and don't want before he begins. In addition to being a great stylist, Joey is a great guy and so easy to talk to!

Posted 05/18/06

With great trepidation, I left my hairdresser of many years when I moved to Seattle. One day a woman I worked with came in with a terrific haircut so I took the plunge and took up with her stylist, Joey. He's been terrific. Truly great cutting and coloring, very individual styles, definitely o cookie-cutter. In addition, he's a very nice guy and does a great hand and scalp massage. Salon is very comfortable, not pretentious, a little funky.

Pros: Always on time

Posted 05/16/06

After relocating to seattle from southern california my first tast was to find a new stylist, we all know how tedious this can be. I consider myself lucky to have found Joey almost immediately. He doesn't just sit you down and start working, first he finds out all about you everything from where you work to what you read. He then designs a style just for you, and no one else. Now that he has started he works away diligently to create a peice of art. In the midst of this you will recieve a lovely herbal tonic and hand message. His color is vibrant and the cut is equally as magical! Not only is his work exceptional, but his timing is great ~ efficient! He now sends you off looking like a movie star with a chocolate truffle in your hand YUM! He's in high demand so dont delay!

Pros: awesome color, stylish cut, truffles!!

Posted 05/14/06

I am very happy with Joey - that's why I keep going back! He makes my color look so natural (that's what I request) that my mom didn't realize that'd I died my hair - instead she commented on how lucky I was to have such nicely colored hair!

Posted 05/13/06

Joey does and exceptional job on my hair. I love it every time and so does my husband! I get compliments on my hair EVERYWHERE I go, even by strangers. He does a great job and cuts it so while it grows it still looks good and styles nicely. Even after I've let my hair grow and I think it is too long I still get tons of compliments on it and that is thanks to Joey.

Pros: on time, professional, worth every dime

Cons: none

Posted 05/09/06

Joey is a great hair stylist because he is the first to cut my hair in such a way that it looks great while it is growing out. He gives a great scalp massage and is fun to chat with as well. His appoinment book gets full but it seems he can always work you in!

Pros: Good parking, Great Value, Near fun shops

Posted 05/08/06

Joey is a very skilled stylist who really wants to make your cut and color just right. I appreciate his attention to detail, his suggestions and concern if I am satisfied.

Posted 05/07/06

Joey is nothing short of Fabulous. I had moved down from Bellingham and was terrified to find a new hair person so I was commuting back every 3 months to get my hair done until my friend convinced me I had to see Joey. She down right forced me to go with her one Saturday and I have been back to my Bellingham hair person since. Joey is highly skilled and makes you feel FABULOUS every moment you are there with him. He takes the time to listen to what you want and then lets you know how it's going to look. He's constantly learning new things and doesn't mind telling you step by step everything he's doing.

Pros: Fun, High Energy

Posted 05/05/06

I have never gone to the same stylist twice. Not one stylist seemed to get my hair just right with color or cut. I was very hesitant to try Joey since I live in Graham and he is in Seattle. Well worth the drive! Also, I have 7 busy teenagers and can never make an appointment months in advance. He totally understands that and there is never any pressure. He also understands and gives me no greif if I go many months without getting my hair done. When I call to make an appointment he is very patient and works very hard to coordinate my busy schedule with his. I love that his focus is to keep my hair looking as healthy as possible and gives his honest opinion. I fully trust his judgement when it comes to my hair. I will never go anywhere else!

Posted 05/05/06

Joey is the first stylist that I like well enough to book appointments with well in advance. My color treatments are always amazing and the cuts are great too. Definitely worth a try for anyone looking for a new stylist.

Posted 04/28/06

Joey has a talent for catering color and cut to your personal style. He has transformed me from a strictly "ponytail" kind of girl, to a girl with hair know-how! I'm very thankful for all of Joey's hair talents!

Posted 04/27/06

I was immediately at ease with Joey. Upon meeting him, I just knew that I wouldn't have to be very specific on how I wanted my hair and he would just use his experience and intuition to create a great style for me. I left the appointment feeling relaxed, confident and fulfilled. There was no awkward "hairsylist chitchat", but actual genuine conversation. Thank you Joey for a great experience.

Posted 04/26/06

Joey worked with me to ensure I got the correct hair cut for my head and lifestyle. Thanks Joey - I'll be back for sure!

Pros: Quick, Stylish, fun

Posted 04/19/06

For years I put getting my hair styled in the same catagory as going to the dentist. That changed dramatically after my first cut and color with Joey. He is so talented and so pleasant to work with. At a wedding I attended recently people who had not seen me in years showered me with compliments on my looks. Much of what they said I attribute to Joey's artistry and skill.

Posted 04/18/06

I moved from CA. Here in Seattle I went from Salon to Salon for two years attempting to find a stylist. I found Joey on City Search. People stop me on the street in stores and ask me where I had my hair done. I am not a spring chicken, but like a youthful color and cut. Not only is Joey the best stylist I found, Joey is warm, kind and thoughtful person. I am very comfortable with Joey.

Pros: Color, Cut, Kind/Friendly

Posted 04/11/06

Joey is absolutely the best around. From the personal reminder call, the cut and perfect color, the fabulous scalp massage and the follow up call to make sure that you love your hair.. no one does it better than Joey. He has an amazing gift for finding just the right color combo and haircut that works with your skin tones and lifestyle. To Joey youre not just a client, youre a friend, and his top priority is to make you feel comfortable and beautiful. He listens to what you want and incorporates that into the exact result that you are looking for. His enthusiasm for hair is infectious and you leave there feeling relaxed and excited plus ready for a night out on the town. I have been going to Joey for a couple of years now and there is no one else I would trust to do my hair.

Pros: Great colorist, Friendly, Fabulous product

Posted 04/05/06

Joey came highly recommended by several friends. It's hard to find someone to cut really short hair, but Joey is always up on current style and willing to work with the ideas you have in your head. In addition, his does unbelievable color! He tried combinations I thought wouldn't work with my hair but turned out fantastic (people always compliment). I'd follow Joey anywhere!

Posted 04/03/06

I have never gotten so many compliments about a hair cut as I did after going to see Joey. It was all the talk at my work the next day! I was so happy that Joey was able to squeeze me in at the last moment before my cousin's wedding in Solvang, CA. Joey was wonderful in helping me find a style and cut that is easy to maintain and flattering to my features. He gives a great scalp massage and the extra touches such as the chocolate when you leave the salon and the follow up call to make sure the hair cut is "just right" truly makes you feel pampered! The staff at the Derby Salon is very nice and I "loved' the creamy Earl Gray Tea they served there. I can't wait to go back and get some nice honey gold highlights.

Pros: Evening appts., Good location, Attention to detail

Posted 04/03/06

Joey is the best stylist I've had in Seattle. I made a bold move to go from long, straight (boring) hair to a short cut. I let Joey use his insticnts on the "right" style for me, and he did an AMAZING job. I've been going to him for a year now. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair ever since Joey has been my stylist. He's the best!!

Pros: Great quality, Good value, Cool salon

Posted 04/02/06
