John James Salon & Spa in Annapolis, MD

Heads up local peeps!!!! Long post but worth the read. This post is an FYI for anyone wanting to use this company. Here's the story: Several years ago I purchased gift cards ($140) for myself to John James Salon in Annapolis. I did not use them right away because there was NO expiration date. So time goes by and I finally decide to use them to treat myself for my birthday. I call the company Valu-tec that the gift cards were through to verify that the $140 is still valid. The gentlman on the phone confirms my $140 to John James Salon is still VALID. Great! I tried calling John James Salon yesterday several times to make an appointment, but no answer. It turns out they are closed on Mondays even though their website and FB page states they are open on Monday. So this morming I call John James Salon and say that I am a new client and want to get a hair style and possible coloring. I mention that I have the gift cards to use. They have me talk to one of the owners, Hannah, who proceeds to tell me that they do NOT take gift cards because they are expired!!!!!! I explained to her all about verifying the amounts with the company Valu-Tec and she said because they are expired and they are a small business that thay do NOT take gift cards!!!! I really wanted to tell her off, but I held it in and decided to let the people on social media know that I would rather go bald before I use John James Salon.

I was first time client and was scheduled with Hanna C. for a full highlight. She's an absolute GEM! Super sweet, friendly and outgoing- AND she did an incredible job with my hair! 10/10 recommend!

Love Amanda. My hair always comes out amazing. Her pricing is honest to the work she does and I think I've seen her tipping out the shampoo techs. She's great

I had my very first curly haircut from Patrik and can't stop looking at my hair. Patrik cut my hair curl by curl and shaped it to show off my natural curls to their best advantage. And 2 days after the cut I was able to get the same beautiful results at home!! If you want a curly cut that's a breeze to maintain go see Patrik!

Another 5 star experience with Alex and JJ. Great location, allows me to run Annapolis area errands after cut. Staff is ridiculously friendly and accommodating. Plenty of water and coffee. Very clean, cool and spacious. Since Alex has been cutting my hair and getting great Yelp reviews he is really busy, post pandemic is probably more responsible. Alex is patient, remembers my requirements and meticulous. Never in a hurry he is very friendly and easy to talk to. He is a very nice young man excelling at his trade. JJ is the place to be.
