I’ve been going to Johnny for almost 20 years, and he’s the only person I fully trust to cut or shape my hair. Every cut I’ve had with him has grown out beautifully, and my hair always feels healthier in the months that follow. What sets Johnny apart is his honesty & expertise —he always shares what will suit you best while honoring your vision. I’m a forever fan and loyal customer! The salon itself is gorgeous. After a few years on the West Coast, I’m so happy to be nearby again!
I’ve been going to JKU since the day they opened and haven’t been more happier with my highlights since - perfect tone, zero damage, and always exactly what I ask for. The team knows their craft, and it shows every single time!
I had the best experience at Salon JKU! I was greeted at the front desk and the atmosphere of the salon was so clean and welcoming. I was then greeted by Amelia and she took her time to understand what I wanted to do with my hair. She gave me the best layers and haircut I have ever had! She also gave me some great advice and tips about my hair which I greatly appreciated. I got many compliments on my haircut and am looking forward to coming back for my next haircut!
Love Salon JKU! I go to Mami for hair coloring and scalp massage, and Yukari for hair cut, and they both are amazing!! I no longer have to wait for a year to get my hair cut and coloring until I go back to Japan! Not only their talents for coloring, hair cut, and scalp massage are excellent but also their customer service is wonderful. Other staff at Salon JKU are also very nice and overall great experience there. Thank you to everyone at Salon JKU!
As an adopted Asian American female I never really had guidance on how to style and color Asian hair. I suddenly realized that maybe I was missing out on something for the last 27 years. So I went on the phila queens Facebook group and posted for Asian hair stylist recommendations for both cut and color and someone kindly recommended salon JKU to me and after looking at their Instagram and their stylists personal Instagram's I decided that this was the best salon for me given a lot of the stylist are of Asian descent. I got a full head balayage done by Memmi (@coloristmemmi) and haircut done by Chris Sotos. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the results. PLEASE note this does not mean the salon is specialized in Asian hair only. I was the only Asian client in the salon yesterday. You definitely don’t HAVE to be Asian to come here lol I just really really wanted my hair done by someone of Asian descent since I’ve never tried that before. Anyway, Memmi did such a good job and was so pleasant to talk to while she was doing my hair she really is an interesting person with such a cool backstory. Same goes for Chris, who I had many things in common with. I cannot wait to return to the salon for my next cut and or color. PLEASE take the time to see the huge transformation my hair underwent in the photos attached to this review. And also please check out their Instagram @salonjku because you will instantly want to go there too, like me. And wow I'm glad I did. they do outstanding work here thank you so much team for making my hair look amazing for the first time in my life.
