Hair By Joey

04/05/2008 Posted by katieniemer

I have been a long-time client of Joey's (roughly 7 years). In the time that I have been going to Joey, I have never had a bad hair cut or color. In fact, Joey is so talented, that my hair looks fantastic, even after skipping appoints for a few months. I am so confident in Joey's abilities, that I will even go in and say "do whatever you want to my head." The best haircuts of my life have come out of giving Joey complete freedom to do what he wants. If you don't like to look fabulous all the time, then don't go to Joey. But, if you like looking great, then you need Joey in your life!!!

Pros: Everything About Joey is a Pro

Cons: And that means that nothing is a Con

I am new in Seattle and was scared to try a new hair salon, but I am very glad that I met Joey. I am Asian and I have thick straight hair - it is not easy to style. But he did a great job cutting my hair the way I wanted. He spent almost an hour and worked in detail. The salon has a great atmosphere and you will get the full attention of the stylist. You can relax and enjoy the process. He spent time to discuss how I wanted my hair done and explained me how I can work on my hair every morning. I will definitely go back to get another hair cut or color.

Pros: Easy access, cozy atmosphere

Joey was AMAZING!!! i read all the reviews and the salon seemed too good to be true...im a girl who has never been able to stick to a specific hair dresser b/c they always cut too much or cut a little funky or didnt know where to cut what. i have never in my life walked out of a salon feeling happy and confident about they way my hair was cut...as too good as it may sound HE REALLY IS THAT GOOD!!! joey is all around a top notch...he is great about really listening to what you want, the problems youve had in the past, how he can improve your outlook on things, letting you know what he's going to do, what hes doing....on top of everything he seems to be a very well rounded and amazing person. he is a professional all around and i was utterly appreciative of this experience...i only hope and pray that he wont get swept away by his talent ...ive already set my next hair appointment and am thinking of getting highlights...GREAT GREAT FABULOUS FIND!!!! even the products are brilliant...he really is THIS GOOD!!

I found Joey on CitySearch and boy, am I glad I did! He gave me the best haircut and color I have ever had in Seattle. All my friends have been raving about my haircut and I've recommended him to everyone I know, including my sweetie. He went to see Joey the very next day :) and came back, with a fantastic cut! Keep up the excellent work, Joey - it's wonderful to see the pride you take in your work. :)

Pros: Excellent haircut, color, foot massage, conversation

Cons: none :)

I made an appointment at Joey's after I read all the great reviews he had. I even skipped class and drove 1.5 hours from Bellingham to see him. Although Joey listened tentatively to what I wanted, I didn't like my haircut because my bangs were super short and my hair is a little uneven. I had the appointment at 4 and was out the door by 4:30. The haircut took him about 15 minutes if even that and the rest of the time was spent going over how I want my haircut to be. I am not sure if he rushed because I skipped the scalp massage. It could be my fault since I said I had something to do but I was expecting the haircut to take an hour and didn't want to stay longer than that. My haircut wasn't what I wanted it to be. I even cried after I got home. I think I was a bit shocked. I had been anticipating for this haircut for a while and was very excited to see Joey. I emailed Joey a couple of days later and told him that my haircut feels uneven. He was very nice about it and offered to get me in as soon as possible. Knowing that I have to drive from Bellingham, he even offered to reimburse me if I would rather go see someone that is in Bellingham to correct the length. I am not sure if I should even get it fix because my hair is already so short and wouldn't want it any shorter. His customer service is the best that I have ever seen. I would go to Joey again just because his customer service is so great. I am optimistic that my next time with Joey will be a lot better. I have to witness the "magic" that I read about in all the other reviews for myself.

I got my hair cut by Joey a week ago. He listened carefully and patiently to what I wanted and what my concerns about my hair was. I had long hair before and I wanted a dramatic change. He is open to extreme or uncommon haircut. He is very careful at cutting and handling my hair. He also has amazing techniques. He makes sure to cut my hair carefully,making sure that I was comfortable with the length of my hair. Joey was very friendly and welcoming. He gives a very good head massage too. The other thing that was nice is Joey didn't try to become a salesman of products. Which I found to be very nice environment. :). I love my haircut!!! Super love it!!! Thank you, Joey!!!

Pros: Great stylist, Friendly, Skillful, Affordable

Cons: None

I explained Joey that I don't like to spend too much time on my hair in the morning with my uneven curly hair and he gave me the cut that 's very easy to handle with just a little bit of hair product. I've tried several hairstylists who speak the same language as mine and still couldn't get what I wanted so it's great Joey is able to listen and determine what works for me. Another thing that I liked was the total visit was a little under 1hr. I can see some people don't mind spending a few hours at salon but I prefer getting a great cut in a short time. I'm sure Joey spent more time if I wanted to and if it was necessary. I've scheduled for color!

With all the positive reviews, I couldn't wait to have Joey cut my hair. From the moment I walked in his studio, I knew it was going to be a great experience. His studio was so warm and inviting. Joey took the time to listen, gave great suggestions and gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I returned to work and received so many compliments. My co-worker promptly called to book an appointment. Her hair looks fabulous too! The best part about the experience was the amazing scalp and neck massage. I could feel all the tension and stress melt away. Joey is a brilliant hairstylist and he surpassed all my expectations. I can't wait to go back and have him color my hair!

Pros: Ambiance, skill and scalp and neck massage

Cons: None

Joey seems to know Asian guy hair very well. I tried several stylist in the past, and few of them weren't too familiar with Asian hair. So the result as you can imagine was pretty bad. But Joey, on the other hand, not only is he familiar with Asian hair, but also pay a thorough attention to our head shape which is very important in giving a good stylish haircut. I'd highly recommend him to everyone, especially for men's haircut.

Pros: skilled stylist and cool ambience

Cons: it can be a long waiting list

I found Joey here on CitySearch and I'm so glad I did! I walked in looking like a soccer mom who stuck her finger in a light socket and left whispering under my breath, "dear God I'm hot." He took years off my appearance...and I'm only 31. When I showed up I explained what I would like in generic terms and he repeated back exactly what I said to insure we were on the same page. He didn't ask me to point out a picture or explain my thoughts in detail, because I figured if he was as good as all these reviews say, he would probably know what looks better on me better than I do (or I wouldn't have the light socket look in the first place.) He is an artist, and took my features into account to help me look my best.

Pros: Serene surroundings, foot massage, excellent hair
