Wonderful experience. My hair stylist was Taylor and she did a great job, I went from a long hairstyle to a cute short long bob style. Everyone was friendly and helpful, I would go back.

This was my first time ever visiting Douglas J, and I had a wonderful experience. Emily Bartshe made me feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment I arrived. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and made sure we were on the same page throughout the appointment. I came in for a balayage, and she did an amazing job. At first, from a distance, I couldn’t fully see the color transformation, but once I got closer, I was so impressed with how it turned out. The color blended perfectly and looked even better than I expected. Emily was professional, friendly, and attentive to detail. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented stylist who truly cares about her clients and their results.

Had a wonderful experience getting my hair cut at Douglas J. The environment was welcoming and comfortable while offering a modern, upbeat feel. My stylist, Carmen Cincotta, provided EXCELLENT service! He was attentive to detail and friendly. Carmen walked me through my service and made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted—and very easy to talk to. I left feeling confident and will absolutely be coming back to see Carmen at Douglas J for my next cut (or color)!
