I've been going to Jean Paul since I was a wee-little girl (I'm 22 now). The best hair days I've ever had have always been after I left this Salon.
I've gone in for every kind of coloring and corrective treatment, (ex. from blonde, brunette, fiery red, to getting out pink streaks so Bishop Maginn would let me come back to school). I've had short, bob cuts, and cuts with my hair down to my butt. I've ALWAYS walked out giddy with excitement from my amazingly awesome hair. The stylists at Jean Paul have consistently done a tremendous job.
They can be a bit pricey though, and there do seem to be price-loopholes every way you turn. I was quoted the price of a haircut to be $35 - this after I told them very clearly that my hair is very very long. When I went to cash out, they tried to charge me $80 (additional costs for having long hair and for having it blowdried). After causing a bit of a stink, they begrudgingly gave me the student discount (I am very much a college student - another fact I was very clear about way ahead of time).
Also, though LISA did a fantastic job, I don't think I've met a more cold, unfriendly person in a long time, if ever.
My aunt and my sister have had bad experiences with their hair at Jean Paul. Both had their hair done at this salon one time, within the past year, and it was very adamantly their last. My sister went in for corrective color treatment, they weren't able to help at all, and they still charged $120. My aunt complained the haircut they gave made her look like a stuffy old lady. Both said their stylists were very unfriendly.
I, on the other hand, have never had a bad experience at Jean Paul. I come confident they'll do a great job, and never leave disappointed. In fact, I'm always thoroughly pleased. As much as some unfriendly staff and high prices can put a damper on the process of getting my hair done, I consider these worthy sacrifices to my intense and unceasing satisfaction with the outcome.
Pros: outstanding skill with hair (the best) - convenient parking - clean, professional looking salon
Cons: cold, unfriendly staff - high prices with hidden charges
