I've been coming here for over a decade and would not consider anywhere else! My stylist is very professional and reasonable and soooo talented! And the salon is clean and nice. During Covid they have been awesome with extra cleaning and spacing between stations. It's never crowded which is also nice. As for masks, I'm personally over it -- the governor doesn't even wear one when he says we all should. ;-) The topic has become so political and I love that this salon has stayed out of the debate and allowed patrons to handle the issue personally and do as they feel most comfortable and appropriate.

Maui is the best haidresser i've ever had - a natural artist, great intuition and very pleasant. So easy to schedule with her just by text. Would be lost without her!

Maui is a fantastic stylist & colorist! My Sisters & I have been going to Maui dating back 20 yrs. I have since moved and still drive an hour to have her do my hair. Maui is a great communicator, very attentive and listens to what you want, always giving her honest opinion. I trust her completely with my hair as she is very knowledgeable and I'm always happy when I leave. I also get many compliments on my hair, even from strangers, as she does beautiful highlights & lowlights, making the color look so natural.

I would avoid this place if you are looking for an establishment where they are covid compliant. There is no required masks and so most patrons and workers are unmasked. No distancing either of work stations or partitions. Truly a shame when hair and nail salons are the most populated and infectious. I left after coming to my appointment where I verified with the stylist beforehand that everyone woukd be masked. I was told "of course everyone is wearing masks". That is untrue. When I got there the stylist told me that they can't force anyone to wear a mask. Im sorry of course you can have rules just like restaurants have signs no shoes, no shirt, no service. So I left and gave my money to a salon that cares and is enforcing masks for the safety of their employees and patrons. For God's sake its a freaking mask get over it.

Allen James Salon is a wonderful, customer oriented, lively hair salon. everyone, customers and personnel, are very friendly and happy. I am lucky, to have found Maui, my new stylist, she understands my baby fine curly hair, and instinctively knows how to best style it. Maui is conscious of the importance that hair color should compliment a client's skin color. I have found my new stylist. Thank you, Maui

Shannan is the best hair dresser I know! She is an expert in color, highlights and covering my very stubborn gray hairs! I've been going to her for 24 years and would never let anyone else touch my hair. The salon is beautiful with very friendly staff. I feel like I'm home when I'm there. Highly recommend the salon and Shannan!

This is my favorite place to get my hair done with all the friendly stylists. They interact with their patrons to find what color, how the patron wishes to have their hair done with information for the patron to consider. It all starts with a friendly greeting and then having their hair done.

Two weeks ago I needed a salon visit. For years now, I have had terrible experiences with stylists until I found a decent one about 3 1/2 months ago- not someone from Allen James. What I've noticed is a decline in skill everywhere, even among stylists who've been licensed for decades. The stylist I found back in October, at another salon, understood my simple request- clean up my inverted bob, which is lengthening, without compromising the length I've achieved, so that by the next visit I can have a mid-length layered bob. I've been to salons I'll never return to because of all the stylists that hear that, see the pictures I bring, then proceed to hack my hair to a length shorter than the last time I got it cut, and not evenly. Maui at Allen James was no exception. I found Allen James when my preferred stylist couldn't fit me in. I had called many *organic* salons, often seeing posted hours that contradict answering services. Allen James appeared to be open. I even drove there to see if they could take me later in the day or the next day... or the next next day. Their doors were open, but I was reluctantly greeted by a perplexed stylist who said they were open but should have had the doors locked. Weird. She was kind enough to meet me outside to discuss scheduling. I was absolutely willing to take whatever they had but to also keep looking. She didn't have to try to find anyone, but she did, and I'm grateful. So why the one star review? I've thought about it for two weeks... Maui called me to say she could schedule me later that day. She didn't say until I was in her chair that night that she doesn't work Mondays, but she made it sound like she had nothing better to do, so all was well. If this review was about her character instead of her skill, I'd give 3 stars- less than 5 for her trying to guilt me for how far she traveled to get black dye and for working a Monday. We were chatty, which I don't mind a bit. But I knew it would be bad as soon as she rubbed scant amounts of petroleum jelly around my hairline, then smashed her applicator against my scalp for a very long time. The time she spent *smashing* her applicator at my scalp is longer than I take to apply my own dye- which I always do neatly. It took almost a week to scrub dye off my forehead and ears every time I showered. That never happens when I dye my own hair. As little as a week later, my gray was showing where the "black" dye was already going light (brown). She cut my hair shorter than it was when I got it cut 3 1/2 months ago- she took me backwards by at least half a year. When I dye my own hair, I wash after it sits about 20-30 minutes, and I get great gray coverage- without having my head baked for 40 minutes. When she "washed" the dye out, I got squirted in the eyes and ears, which previous worst stylists have never put me through. After cutting, she offered to straighten my curls so she could check for evenness. I've had lots of stylists do this, so I trusted it. I used to straighten my curls when they were very long, and NEVER heard so much singeing as two weeks ago. I now have several sections of hair that will never curl again. Ever. I've been unemployed for a year and living a type of hardship most unemployed people will never experience. I cannot easily do anything nice for myself, and must do my best to be ready to impress at any given moment. Now I have a fried mop that will take a very long time to grow out, and I paid a lot for this fried mop. It hurts deeply. It's really difficult to believe I wasn't made a fool of for needing a service and being willing to pay dearly, and tipping well. I also find it strange that I made it clear that I sought only organic treatment, but to Maui that meant organic dye and that she could use Redken products on me as she wished. Don't advertise organic services if they're only met half way.
