Johnny Rodriguez the Salon

Was excited about trying this salon– I was looking for a true makeover (color & style) after years of long, over processed blonde hair. I was willing to spend a lot to do this right and book with the top stylists. Unfortunately, after trying to schedule and being assured someone would call me back, no one did! I called three times! Took that as a sign…
I did receive a call back from the salon owner after one day but was out of town so it was a few days before I called back. They were very apologetic about the delay with a return call. We discussed what I was looking for with my makeover. I ended up having my hair done last week (my roots were horrible) so I only scheduled a consultation next week. I look forward to hearing what their suggestions are and plan on scheduling that same day for the services… fingers crossed!

I had my hair colored a few days ago and was not very happy with the tone. Instead of saying something in the salon… I left and wrote a negative review on here. I was frustrated & honestly do not like telling my stylist I’m not 100% satisfied… It makes me uncomfortable always has.
The very next day Johnny contacted me first am & left a pleasant detailed messaged stating he wanted to correct & address any issues I had.
I waited a day & decided to return his call. He was very thorough in explaining why things can sometimes not turn out as we expect. We agreed that I would return & have my hair assessed and fixed as needed. He contacted the salon and made an appointment with Kate & was kind enough to ask if it fit my schedule.
Both Johnny & Kate were EXTREMELY professional & kind in addressing ALL of my concerns. I apologized for my hastiness of leaving my review… because it’s one thing to have a great stylist when all «is well» but it’s completely another issue when «all is not». It can make for an awkward situation & one I typically do not bother or return to deal with. Serious 5 stars for this – priceless to me!
As far as my hair… WOW. All I can say is when they address an issue they REALLY address it. They take extra time & make sure you are happy with the end result. They did not make me feel in anyway like they did not value my business. In fact it was important for them to resolve before I left for the holidays… Even after I said I didn’t mind waiting. I really really love my hair, but I really really appreciate their professionalism that much more!
Thanks again!

I am so impressed with his salon and I can’t say that I’ve been able to admit that with a lot of hair salons in Dallas, unfortunately. Johnny Rodriguez has just won my heart and i’ll definitely be returning.
I visited on a recommendation from a friend. I made an appointment online (which I love) with Amanda. As soon as I walked in, I could tell they take pride in their space as it was very clean and organized. The décor is super cute too. The owner came over and asked if I needed anything to drink and then I was escorted back to my chair.
Amanda greeted me with the warmest smile and «nice to meet you» I’ve heard in a long while. I proceed to tell her the style I was going for and she lit up; I think she was more excited than I even was! You can tell she loves her job. Also, she gives great head massages during the wash and even gave me a complimentary conditioning treatment.
After my cut, she escorted me to pay out and sent me off with a big hug and well wishes for the weekend. I felt so good walking out of that salon and I cannot wait to go back! Thank you JRS!

Love this place! I stop in every time I’m in town! Go see Amanda Marcus for your cuts and Alexcya Stroyick for your color services! These girls always do a great job and are fun to hangout with while you’re in their chair!

Update: I received a phone call with an apology a couple of days after this review. I appreciated the effort to reach out.
I called looking for a body perm. The woman I spoke with did not seem to know about the service I requested, which I pulled from their website. I was placed on hold.. . that was a little over ten minutes ago. Now I am curious to know how long I will be left on hold, but my time is worth more. I was excited about this place, too.

Courtney Arnold has been doing my hair for almost a year and she is AMAZING! She colors/​cuts my hair and I have never been happier with her services! I will continue to use her and I have sent several friends to see her. I give her 5 stars+!!!

Do not walk. Run to Portia. She is beyond the best and you will not be sorry. I do not know what we would do without her (my sister and I) I almost don’t want to write this because I don’t want more people to know how amazing she is, but after over four years of perfect haircuts, I caved. You are welcome.

My first time not going to my usual stylist at Toni and Guy and I absolutely LOVE it! I went in with long waist length hair and cut it short to the collarbone, which is scary but Amanda did a great job! I highly recommend her! Very sweet and listens to what you want! I will def be going back to see her again!
Mention Sarah Perez sent you to her (Amanda) and get $ 25 off!

New location looks very nice. Space is much bigger and feels very open. May have to go next door to Campisis afterwards.

I went to Johnny’s for five years… I was happy getting my color done there. Like many Dallas salons its expensive and unfortunately they don’t blow out your hair after getting it colored. Its an extra amount to do so! I don’t think a salon should ever let you leave with your hair wet (which i have done many times now). I found another place that does both. But other then that, I was happy with the service!

Love this place! Everyone is incredibly friendly, helpful and Scott is hands down THE BEST!!! I’ve followed him for years and will continue to do so. I highly recommend folks try this salon if you’re looking for a new place.

I’ve been going to Kate and Johnny for more than 7 years — always pleased with Kate’s approach and results with my color/​hi-​lites, as well as Johnny’s subtle yet impactful changes to my haricut!
I now live in the San Fransisco area and ‘cheated’ on K&J out here — big mistake. While in Dallas this week, I got in for an appointment — THANK YOU Kate for ‘fixing’ the bleach-​look highlights and Johnny for an awesome haircut/​style!
Maybe more than their talents with my hair… I’ve enjoyed knowing them as great people! The new salon is great and is staffed with great folks too!
If you can’t get in with Kate or Johnny, try Rachel — who does my best friend’s hair!

Johnny and Kate are amazing AND: Leah for shampoo and ‘head rub’ and Elizabeth for curls! I have to say, its a wonderful experience and my hair looks good and holds!
Love it!

Well, I was disappointed in my experience at the salon, but I have to say that this place CARES about your impression! What a breath of fresh air! They called me and really wanted me to be happy! Mr. Rodriguez is doing my hair himself next Saturday. I’m impressed and excited. Like I said before, they are very nice and now we know that they really care!!!

I have visited a handful of salons in Dallas trying to find the right fit, and done some extensive online research (I’m a freak when it comes to my hair). This one blows all the others out of the water. I called JR after a bad ombré job at another salon, and they got me in last-​minute to see Marshall Swaim. The color pricing is higher than I have paid in the past, but I have to say that when it comes to my hair and getting it right the first time, it is totally worth every penny. Especially when you are someone like me, who changes from dark to light, solid to highlights, quite often.
One thing to note is that they do not provide blowouts with your color service — You can either schedule a blowout after or style your own hair at the salon with tools and products they provide. I have noticed this trend in other salons as well, and I wish it weren’t so, but when you find the perfect colorist, I guess you have to compromise.
I will definitely be going back regularly, and recommending this salon to friends. Excellent service, fun and clean atmosphere, and convenient location. Plus, they offer great products that they aren’t too pushy about adding to your tab. Love it.

I’ve never had a cut or color here as I already have a stylist at another salon, but I do come here regularly for a blow out. If you like your hair with a lot of volume and soft wave, Jennifer is your girl!

So I’m totally convinced now, salons are NOT just for women. Got a shampoo & cut here and didn’t want to go to sleep for fear of messing up the style they did my hair… I need these people to fix my hair for me every morning! It wasn’t till after I left that I realized I barely know how to comb my own hair decently… lol.
Anyways, highly recommend and will be back for sure. Two thumbs up!

After reading the reviews, I felt the need to express that I ADORE my experience EVERY time I go to Johnny Rodriguez! It’s a shame some people didn’t get the same treatment or attention.

Everyone there is ULTRA sweet. It’s worth every penny, I assure you~and if you’re not sure about the pricing, just ask BEFORE you get something done or call ahead. They’re really good at helping you budget the visit.
As for some of the reviews about the reception, I don’t think you’ll need to worry about that anymore. I do remember seeing that during my first visit, but I’m an aggressive personality, so it’s hard to «ignore» me. :-)
Hair styles are top notch and every stylist there is very meticulous, ESPECIALLY when you express your concerns or reservations. Give them a try. I had to rate the prices at ultra from pricey, because they cost of services did increase lately. However, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I have been following Marshall for several years and he is now at the «tony but not snobby» JR Salon in Inwood Village. After straying from Marshall for highlights because I live in another city, I will never let anyone else color my hair again!!! Marshall is a Godsend. He trained under the locally-​famous Richard Hayler and uses only the best color, making my hair look super shiny. He is also very talented at his craft. He is the only person I trust with my hair color. Also the salon is open Mondays!
The salon has a very busy vibe so it’s not a place to «chill.» Also there was one 80’s station playing in the washbowl room and another in the main room, and I could hear them both. Kind of weird, but I love Marshall and the owner Johnny is super-​nice too.

From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you are treated like a star! All the staff here are awesome, They are friendly and do a fantastic job. Johnny is a class act doing by hair over 16 years! I would not let anyone else touch my hair! I just love him. They won the best in Dallas also. You know they have style!
