Jim Ostrosky Salon, Inc.

I bought a groupon for this salon for the full highlights plus haircut and conditioning. It took too long for the girl who did my highlights then it turned out so light that I look like I have white hair. Bless that girl because I think she did try to get it right but she just don't know what she was doing. She cut my hair too short. I guess her hands were numb by the time she was done with my highlights. I gave her a tip anyway because it's Christmas time after all. Try to get a haircut first. Don't buy the one with full highlights unless you want to be experimented on. more

I have naturally curly hair that turns into a huge frizz ball in humidity. Jim completely transformed my hair! Its now shiny and straight, but still has body and doesn't frizz at all! I absolutely love it! more

I purchased a groupon for the Ostrosky salon and am very glad that I did. My specialist was Becky, and I was very impressed with her professionalism and skill. I had been searching for a salon nearby, and I have found exactly what I need. Yes, the venue is in an older house, but I understand that there are plans for a move around the corner. I have found me a new hairdresser and am very pleased. more

I do not get my hair cut very often, so when I do I like to get it done right. I have been to Jim OStrosky twice now, and no other salon in Birmingham compares. The salon is very comfortable, and the best hair cuts I've ever had! more

For me, the standard for a good haircut is whether or not I can style my hair at home. When Jim cuts my hair, I can do just that--style it myself. Of course, it never looks as good as when he does it because I pretty much stink at styling my hair! But it looks good--and that's why I keep going back to Jim. I've tried other talented hair stylists, but I remember one painful incident a couple of years ago. The hairdresser cut my hair into a lot of lengths, and it looked great when I walked out of the salon. When I tried to style it myself, however, my hair flopped in all sorts of directions. It looked like I had several cowlicks where none had existed before! I couldn't get my hair to lie flat where it was supposed to. I tried hot rolling it to get it to do right, but every morning was a fight. It took a year for the lengths to grow out. That's when I went back to Jim, and I've been pleased ever since. I have NEVER HAD A BAD HAIRCUT FROM HIM. In fact, I receive numerous compliments on my hair now, even when I haven't gone to a lot of trouble to fix it (which is often because I'm lazy). I guess I could sum things up best by sharing what happened at the beach last summer. As we were leaving, a friend looked at my wet hair as I ran a comb through it and was letting it dry naturally. She said, "You know, the sign of a great hair cut is how it lies when it's wet. It just falls back into place." She asked who did my hair and I told her about Jim. On the practical side, the service is timely, the price is a good value for the quality of cut, and my hair always looks better on the way out than it looked on the way in. And yes, I am a fan of Jim Ostrosky's! more
