After years of dragging into Newbury Street salons from the suburbs grew old, I tried 4 different stylists in 2 years around Waltham, Lexington, and Newton. Finally I found Jimi's salon online and decided to give it a shot. Over a year later, I am a happy, loyal fan who has recommended him to two others, both of whom are similarly devoted! Jimi listens to you, offers constructive opinions, and has a professional, confident approach that results in great hair. He is fast - which for time-pressed people is great - yet, the experience is totally unrushed and totally focused on *you.* He works with my crazy wavy hair, not against it, and encouraged me to try color, which was pretty revolutionary for me! Every time I leave Jimi's salon, for weeks after people comment that I ""look rested,"" ""look great,"" etc. Don't expect the Newbury Street salon look (or prices) - his heart and energy is in making you look fabulous, not proving how fabulous he is.
