Lakewood's little secret!!! 1/14/2011

Wow! Love this salon. I have tried so many different ones and always end up unsatisfied due to terrible service, bad cuts or colors or to hard to get in. Jose is wonderful and really gets involved with all clients at the salon regardless of wheather he is doing the cutting or someone else. The atmosphere is great and the salon is clean and comfortable. I have never had to wait for my turn except one time and they gave me a compl. scalp massage and oil/cond. treatment while I waited. I have driven by this place for years and always wondered about it but finally decided to give it a try. It is a little pricey but well worth it. Once you try it you will be hooked. Also, Victor who does the hair coloring is AWESOME!! more

I love my hair again!! 1/7/2011

Like most people, I am concerned with the value I receive for my hard earned paycheck. I try to squeeze every last dime out of what I make and things like “maintenance” are necessities in my budget. One of those necessities is my hair. I have to get my hair colored frequently because it grows very quickly, (thanks Mom and Dad) and because I have a lot of premature gray (thanks again Mom and Dad.) When I go to a salon, I also want the very best service for my money, and if I did not receive good service, I would quickly change salons. Concerns I have with getting my hair colored frequently is that it not dry out my hair and another concern is, is it bad for the environment? I am very aware of the fact that everything we put in the sink drain winds up in our rivers and oceans. And my last concern, and admittedly the most important one, is: does the coloring product make my hair look, feel and behave better. At Jose Manuel’s, all of these concerns are met and my expectations are consistently exceeded. I would recommend this salon to anyone who has concerns about cost, how their hair looks and feels, the quality of service they receive, and if they want to help the planet. Ninety seven to ninety-nine percent of Aveda’s hair dye is plant-derived or plant-based and none of their dyes contain harsh chemicals. No wonder my hair “likes” the products. My hair isn’t dry and I haven't had more “natural” looking hair color ever! It looks natural because it is natural! My stylist, Victor is an absolute artist and I give him the highest marks for his demeanor and the fabulous head massage he includes with a shampoo. He is thorough with a haircut and very pleasant. I love the products he recommends so that I can achieve the look at home. This salon, while world-class, is not intimidating. The ambiance is warm and the décor is tasteful and relaxing. You can hear soothing water fountains and soft music in the background. A true spa experience even if you are only there for a hair service. The fragrance in the air is delightful. It is warm and cozy and the entire staff makes you feel pampered and well taken care of. The next time I have an appointment I am going to try the eyebrow threading and a mini facial. The list of spa services is extensive and I plan to try them all!! Thank you Jose Manuel Salon for delivering the best products and service I have ever experienced at a salon and spa. Five star service and products! I love my hair again! more

Worst Reception I have ever received! 12/9/2010

I normally don't pay any attention to other women's hair, but when the most energetic, happy blonde helps you pick up a bunch of cans in Albertson's (yes, I knocked them down)-and is still smiling-you notice! She was shopping too, and I commented on her hair. She handed me a business card and the very next day, I stopped in. When I came in the door, no one was at the front desk. A lady came around the corner and told me "Rose" would be right with me. The phone starts ringing, and "Rose" comes around the corner and walks right past me, answering the phone and pretty much is yelling into it. After she hangs up, she acknowledges me, and I tell her I would like to schedule an appointment. She asks "For what?" I tell her I normally go to a Salon in Seattle, and I would like to make an appointment for a consultation, shampoo, deep condition and blowdry with whoever has been there the longest. She says, in a snippy tone, that would be Jose, then proceeds to tell me he isn't in right then. I once again repeat that I want to make an appt, wondering to myself, is this chick deaf? I add next week or the week after is fine. The phone rings again and she takes the call, shooting me a look like I am bothering her. I walk out the door. A few days later I stop in and what a change! The blonde from the grocery store is there! She is so cheerful and polite. The Salon is extremely busy, neither of the two women that were there on my first visit are there today-I can only hope for the owner's sake they have moved on. Needless to say, I still didn't book my appointment there, but at least I know where I can buy my skincare products close to home if I run low and get a dose of optimism and a warm welcome. When she is there anyway! My Golf and Tennis club was hoping for an Aveda salon closer to home, but this definitely will not be the one for our business. more

The Best in Tacoma and Lakewood! 12/5/2010

If you seek a hairstyle that suits you, your face and your lifestyle--one that is elegant and in great taste--then Jose Manuel Salon is the place for you. If you wish for beautiful hair color, then Jose or his professional staff are the experts to see. Under Jose's skillful instruction and guidance, the salon is warm and welcoming. Jose greets all of his clients with good cheer. Jose, himself, is a real gem in the Lakeood business community, immensely talented in the art of hairstyling and hair color. He also brings tremendous work ethic and high standards to his craft. If you seek a consistently gorgeously styled haircut and beautiful hair color, along with the Aveda line of products, then make an appointment with the Jose Manuel Salon. You will not be disappointed! more

No One Else Touches My Hair!!! 9/15/2010

I walked into Jose Manuel Salon three years ago with a boring, blah hair style and have been going every six weeks since. I like my hair short and not just anyone can cut short hair. Going short takes trust and I trust Jose Manuel Salon completely! I have tons of texture and style thanks to Jose and it looks great even as it grows out! I get compliments at least once a week! I will NOT go anywhere else for a haircut. I also take advantage of Jose Manuel Salon's great esthetician to keep me hairless and girly in all the right places! more

Best Beauty Salon! 8/27/2010

I have been going to this hair stylist for over 6 years; the high level of professionalism is evident throughout the beauty shop. The staff is friendly, caring and knowledable. Jose Manuel and his staff continuously keep up with trends and styles. I always look forward to the calming experience of this salon and the excellent Aveda products! My hair is difficult; thick and on the wavy side. This stylist knew exactly what to do to make my hair manageable from one visit to another. more

"Your hair always looks good...." 8/24/2010

All my girlfriends know how particular I am about my hair. Being a local girl for the past 30 + years I have never found anyone as talented as Jose'. I was lucky to find his salon years ago during a bad hair day. The moment I entered the door I was hooked. From the decor to the aromas floating through the air, soft music and the welcoming manner of Jose' Manuel himself. I haven't had a bad hair day since! Now not only my girlfriends, but total strangers are commenting on my hair. Lakewood is lucky to have a stylist of Jose's caliber.... and it sure beats beats flying to L.A! more

Brilliant!!! 8/12/2010

I am quite picky about where I have my hair done, so I always enter a new salon with trepidation. This salon was no different, but from the beginning I knew my experience would be a good one. The salon is lovely: very clean, peaceful, and well decorated. My appointment was with Jose, and he took me back without any waiting. He then discussed my style ideas with me and suggested some of his own. In the end, we agreed on a cut that was perfect for me and my hair type. On to the shampoo bowl... he gives the very best scalp massage and shampoo, with only top of the line Aveda products, of course. Many stylists forget that the scalp massage is important, but not at this salon. My cut was fabulous. Very precise, indeed. Then Jose dried my hair and finished the last details of my cut so that it was everything it could be. He then discussed the products he was putting in my hair, taking time to explain correct application. Finally, he styled my hair so that it looked flawless. Smooth, healthy, and beautiful. Plus, he made sure that I could style it at home as well. (very important detail that is often over looked too) I'm writing this review because, the next day, I am still thinking about how fortunate I am that I booked an appointment at Jose Manuel's salon. I will be a forever client, and i will recommend this salon to my family and friends. more

Friendly, Clean, Listen to your needs 9/28/2008

The service at this salon is excellent. They are warm, inviting, and make you feel comfortable. Immediately upon entering, I am always asked if I want something to drink: water, tea, or coffee. This place makes you feel welcome, they don't rush your appointments and they work with you to create a haircut, color and style that suites your needs and preferences. I also have received waxes and they were not painful or uncomfortable. I actually almost fell asleep during a bikini wax because the esthetician was very gentle. Prices are also reasonable. I went to this salon on a whim and I am estatic that I did, for I will keep coming back. Pros: Ambience, service, evening hours, hospitable more

Awesome Brazilian! 5/28/2008

My brazilian wax was the most relaxing and lease painful one I ever had and the price was reasonable. The environment is very friendly and relaxed. The esthetician always offer hand massage or makeup when you are waiting, too! more

Amazing! Relaxing! 2/25/2008

I had my first experience this weekend with a facial and I was the most amazing experience. Yvonne went above and beyond my expectations. She was very professional and explained the entire process while still maintaining the relaxed environment. I have never had a more relaxing and cleansing experience in a salon! I am looking forward to my next appointment with them. They have a customer for life! Pros: All natural Aveda products make this the place to go for a natural experiance! more

great and friendly service 2/21/2008

I really enjoyed my experience at this salon the staff was very knowlegeable and ready to answer any questions i had. I live within 3 minute driving distance and have always read the sign when i would drive by, but I recently had my hair colored and needed my brows tinted desperatly so I called. They got me in that same day. The spa and salon were very clean which is really important. Would i go there again.... Most definately! give them a try you won't be dissapointed. more
