I can't say enough about Mr. Alfredo! My hair was a mess! I was so nervous when I got there cause everywhere else I had been too said they could fix it but did nothing. My mind was put to rest when Alfredo came to look at my hair and told him how I wanted it, right away he said," Yes you want a butterfly cut." He started showing me what he was going to do and he knew I wanted to keep as much length as I could so he did. That place was awesome the staff is so friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I have only found one other hairdresser that looked at me and knew what hairstyle would fit me and that was 25 years ago. So I am so happy after ALL these years I have found my permanent hair salon. If you are looking for a new style or just tired of trying to find the right place definitely try this salon.

Alfredo fixed my hair after a bad experience at a different salon over a year ago and now I will never let anyone else touch my hair. He is the best and I highly recommend him!!

Sandra is back!!! Best haircut ever - worth venturing on 1604 for a cut with Sandra. Alfredo James salon is so nice. It has a nice vibe and extremely well decorated. Excellent spot and easy to get to.

I can’t say enough great things about Alfredo! From the moment I walked in, they made me feel so comfortable and truly listened to what I wanted. Their attention to detail, skill, and creativity are unmatched. Not only do they have super professional skills, but they also give amazing advice tailored to your hair’s needs, always keeping the health of your hair a priority. I left the salon feeling more confident than ever, my hair has never looked better and is well taken care of. I’m beyond grateful to have found such an amazing hairstylist. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch service!

Alfredo is amazing! This was my first visit, and certainly won’t be my last! As soon as I walked in the door I felt very welcome. I showed him a photo of the balayage look I was hoping for and he did AMAZING. My hair looks so healthy and so full! He is very detailed with his work and ensures that he takes care of your hair, the way it should be. Patience is key! After a decade of living here in SA, I’ve finally found a hair stylist worth going to on the regular. The atmosphere is great as well! The detail put into the salon is beautiful, and is overall a welcoming experience. You will not be disappointed going to his salon! 🫶🏼

I just had to edit my review and give a big shout out to behki she cut my daughters hair and my mother and she did amazing!!! She was so patient with my 4 year old little girl and I was shocked how well she did seating in the chair. Both of their cuts were beautiful! Thank you again! Best hair salon in town ❤️ I have been coming to Alfredo for some time and his probably the best hairstylist I have had. Once he opened his new salon I was so excited I immediately booked a facial with Nancy and let me tell you! It was amazing! She was so sweet and made sure I was comfortable the whole time of the appointment and she gave me feedback on what I should consider using for my skin. After I left my skin felt more balanced and refreshed. I will be coming back to Nancy and making it a routine! ❤️

Most places aren't rated 5 stars. But I'll be honest, this place deserves it! I got a Perm with Bekhi and she did an amazing job! They have amazing Korean solutions which didn't smell bad at all and didn't hurt at all either! They also have the proper equipment to make sure the perm stays strong and supported! She also did an amazing job fading and edging! I was asking for a more complicated hair cut and I'm very satisfied with the results! I will be back! :DD

My daughter, like most teen girls, damaged her hair by continuous use of the Revlon hair styler. We came across Alfredo James’ instagram and decided to book him for hair extensions as she was entering her senior year of high school and had upcoming events and photo shoots. Let me tell you, from the moment we walked we felt so welcomed and he gave us hope for repairing her hair along with installing extensions. His salon is nothing less than immaculate. He is a charm! I cannot recommend him enough.

There are hairstylists, and then there's Alfredo—he's a true master. He came highly recommended to me, and I was not disappointed. He listened to all my concerns, provided straightforward recommendations, and left my hair feeling better than it has in years. I don't think I've written a Google review in years, but when someone is that amazing, you just have to pay it forward.

The hair gods heard my cry and sent me to Alfredo James! After another salon turned my hair orange, Alfredo James worked his magic and fixed it in a couple of hours. It looks AMAZING!

I’ve been seeing a stylist for over 2 years and couldn’t really land with what I wanted for my hair. I had a consult with Alfredo James and booked mg appointment for the following week. After my first appointment with Alfredo I walked out with the balayage of my dreams! He really took care of me and my hair and knew exactly what I wanted. Thank you Alfredo!!
