I read another reviewer refer to Jimi James as the 'rock star of hair,' which I thought was the perfect way to describe the way Jimi transforms your hair from drab to fab! That sounds corny, but I have never had a stylist earn such high marks in all areas:
1. He's personable and friendly, you'll feel he's an old friend within the first 15 minutes of meeting him
2. He styles your hair how YOU want it, not the other way around
3. He is a wizard with hair color. Seriously, the man has a gift. I had my hair dyed an unfortunate shade of fluorescent 'carrot' orange by a salon in a nearby mall (Jimi even correctly guessed which one it was, ha!) and he was able to not only correct it, but give me the exact shade of red I'd been wanting!
4. He does all this makeover magic in under 2 hours! I used to spend close to 4-5 hours at my old salon!
5. He has very reasonable prices, especially compared to salons in the area
6. Though his claim to fame is through his knack of hair color wizardry, he also gives FANTASTIC hair cuts and blow outs! Seriously, I have long, extremely thick hair and, at pretty much every other salon I've been to, they gave major attitude when I asked them to blow dry, and I'd spend 20 minutes with my head upside down or they had me do it myself. Jimi thinks that that is a cop-out and major disservice to a customer and actually took the time to do it right and made sure I left happy!
7. Do you need another reason? You won't find a better stylist than Jimi James around! You will walk out of the chair with the best looking hair you've ever had--get ready for multitudes of compliments!
Jimi James is now located in Cambridge at 44 Prospect St. He rents a chair out of a place called Lewis' s Hair Salon. It's actually right off Mass Ave, so it's very convenient to the red line or bus routes and there is metered parking around the corner.
Thanks Jimi,
Kimberly :-)
