JF3 Salon 236 Box 11, Middletown, RI 02842

"Joseph always listens to me about what I want and is realistic about our goals. The salon is always clean and well decorated. He almost never double books so you get him all to yourself! He’s also extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain in detail how things work, why they won’t work, etc. Over the last year and a half he’s nursed my hair back to good health after a few botched bleach jobs from other salons. In fact, we just went full blonde after being dark brown with pretty much no breakage and my hair feels super healthy!"

"Joseph is very thorough. He took the time to discuss my hair goals and develop a plan to safely achieve them while maintaining (and improving) the health of my hair. He has a great personality and makes spending time at the salon a pleasure!"

"I’ve been a client for a few years, Joe is always on time and he’s excellent at what he does...I wouldn’t be blonde without him!"

"The salon itself had a very comfortable feel to it. I love how they offer you a beverage when you get there. I can't speak for the rest of the stylists, but Courtney is amazing! I haven't been as satisfied with a haircut in eight years!"

"Joseph and his salon did an amazing job with a difficult case - me! *) The Monday before Thanksgiving I tried to color my roots at home. Let's just say it dyed my roots orange. So bad that when my husband got home and saw it, he immediately offered me a martini, but all i could do was lay in bed and cry. I get myself up, go buy my old brand and attempt to cool down the tone by coloring it again... and pull it through to the ends for good measure. My former blonde, highlighted hair is now orange at the roots and green at the ends! A total disaster, especially since I'd be meeting my husband's family for the first time at Thanksgiving. At this point, I look up who is the best colorist on Yelp, and JF3 Salon comes up. To make a long story somewhat shorter, Joseph (who was of course booked 8am-10pm the Tuesday before the holiday), had me come in early in the morning so he could look at my hair and create a game plan for Tara (the stylist who worked with me). He was like a fortune teller, "reading" my hair, you could tell he has years of experience and knows his stuff. Even though my roots were totally orange, he was able to tell "your natural color roots are dark, you have some grey hair, you left the color on for 35-40 minutes, you used level 20 developer and it was cold in your house when you did it, wasn't it?" Wow! Exactly right on every count. With their great teamwork, they saved my hair! From stripping off the old color, to a special treatment that repaired my fried keratin layer to doing a full recolor and foil highlights with products that actually rebuild the keratin even more, after an entire day at the salon they got my hair back to very close to it's original color and still feeling like hair, not steel wool (no easy feat). Part of the complication was I had extensions my old hair color used to match, which I still very much wanted to be able to wear. By the end of the project, the color and highlights also perfectly matched my extensions. The only drawbacks: The tone of my hair wasn't quite right after that first day until I went in the next day and Joseph touched it up (for free). But, considering the green/orange mess I started out with, that's understandable. Tara and Joseph did amazing work! My hair actually feels softer now than it did when I came in, very happy with the results *) The best thing is, my hair looked great at Thanksgiving. I felt beautiful and confident. I am now going to JF3 Salon for as long as I live in Newport."
