Jon Michael Salon & Goods

I have been going to Jonathan’s for awhile now and I love his work. I have had so many compliments on my hair. I’ve even had one lady run up to me at a gas station to tell me how much she loves my hair, and wanted to know where I get it done. This is why I always carry his card with me. All the people at the salon are so nice, and I love Jonathan!

I have been going to Rose for at least 15 years and with this salon for at least 10 of those if not more. I will never go anywhere else. Everyone is great but most importantly my CUT AND RED COLOR IS PERFECT! They keep up with today’s styles and I love the hair products. Last thing I am a neat freak and this salon is immaculate. I AM A LIFER FOR SURE

I just did a complete hair makeover and I love it! I love the cut and the color. The stylist who did my hair is Daniel M. He was able to do exactly what I wanted. I’m so happy with my new hairstyle.
Thank you!

This place is beautiful and such amazing customer service! Thank you JocelyneCeleste you are amazing at your craft! See ya soon!

Daniel M. is amazing! He has been doing my hair for over a year and by now I trust him to do whatever he thinks will look best. I can sit in his chair and let him work his magic and I know I’ll get amazing results. He’s very professional and detail oriented to the last piece of hair. What has made me a loyal client of his is that he always gives me his honest professional opinion if I request something that he thinks won’t suit me or ruin my hair.
Plus I’m so glad this salon moved downstairs it’s a lot more convenient and easier to find!

Jocelyn is an ahhhmazing stylist! I have been a happy client of hers for years at her previous salon, so of course I planned to follow her to her new location at the Jon Michael Salon. She is very sweet and truly cares about her clients. Whether you need a haircut, color or updo she is fabulous. She has a lot of training and knowledge behind her and it definitely shows. As far as the salon itself, it has a very urban/​modern feel to it — which I love! The location downtown Riverside is lovely. I am very happy for her and wish her all the success with her new journey! Looking forward to my next appointment with Jocelyn Celeste.

Looks like they moved to a new location since I got my hair done there in April 2015 and I can’t wait to go back! So 8 months later and my hair is getting even more compliments now than when it was first done! Crazy, right? (Don’t get me wrong, I was getting compliments when it was first done too!)
I was visiting SoCal for my Lola’s 90^th bday from BMORE and originally wanted to book an appointment with Oscar because I love his work on IG. He was unavailable, but since the salon had great reviews, I asked for an appointment with someone who could color and cut Asian hair (BTW, I’m Filipino). So I had an appointment with Jessica and her work is hot fiyaaahhhh!
I was about 5 months pregnant and told her I wanted an ombré that would take me into the summer, but would transition well without touching up since I wouldn’t be getting my hair done again for several months. She really listened to what I was looking for and my hair was honey and blonde without being too blonde and no brass! When my cousin came in to look for me, I was at the counter paying and she thought I was a white lady from the back. That’s how natural my blonde looked. LOL!
Not only did Jessica deliver the results, but she had me in and out in less than 4 hours! AMAZING!
My plan was to get my hair done somewhere in Baltimore after the baby was born in August and before I went back to work in October, but since I’ve continued to get compliments with my black roots and I don’t want to take the risk of someone jacking up my hair, I’m going to wait until I go back to Cali in March for Jessica to do my hair!

Came into the salon yesterday for my first salon cut ever. I had Rose cut my hair and I was very pleased. She immediately noticed that I have been parting my hair wrong the whole time. She was the first stylist to ever notice my hair parts to the left naturally and she delivered a great cut and didn’t even touch clippers. Everyone there was very welcoming and pleasant to be around. As mentioned by other Unilocalers the salon is very clean modern and feels high end. I will most definitely be coming here from now on.

I have been going to Trisha for about 5 years now. I have followed her to Jon Michael salon and it’s super clean and love the style. Everyone is super nice and accommodating. Trisha never fails to amaze me with my hair color, cut and style! She is sooooo good at what she does and I have trusted her through a pixie cut, platinum blonde and bright red! I always leave more than satisfied. Trisha is just an all around awesome person and soooooooo talented!!! If you are feeling a pixie, layers, lob, bob, any color of the rainbow… then you need to go and see Trisha!!!

Vince, my dude!!!
I’ve been going to Vince for my haircuts for about 4 – 5 years now. My first haircut with Jon Michael salon was during my time at UCR but since then, I have moved an hour away to LA. In an effort to stay local and not make a half day affair out of a haircut, I’ve tried getting haircuts at other salons closer to me. NOPE, never again. Nobody handles my thick, Asian, bipolar, super damaged hair with as much grace, style, efficiency, and understanding as Vince.
So YES I make the commute just to see him. NO SHAME. I mean, sometimes when you got a good thing…
I always walk out somehow with my hair looking fuller and longer than when I came in. He does a fantastic Brazilian blowout and I always joke that I need to change my outfit to match my fabulous hair. Every time, Vince trims the damaged ends while adding volume and movement to my hair. Also, he tries his best not to compromise the length which I really appreciate. Best of all, after my haircuts, my hair is stylish and flattering but still very low-​maintenance and easily manageable.
He is also super easy-​going and is a true professional dedicated to his craft. I know all the stylists here stay up to date on current market trends and take monthly classes to perfect their techniques.
The new location is great. It’s a huge open warehouse style space and very industrial (read: hipster). The receptionist is always friendly and offers a beverage while you wait. Great product selection and music.
Treat yourself! Your hair and your new confidence will thank you later.

Had my hair done by Vince today. As always, I love his work! Vince has been doing my hair for years and I will never go elsewhere. If you know exactly what you want, he will execute it. Usually, all I know is that I need a haircut. Vince is so creative that he always finds new ways to make my hair look different than before without making drastic changes, unless I tell him I want one. Tell him what you want-​he delivers it! Sit back and let him take the reins– he delivers!
The staff is always friendly and there’s always someone pretty in the front to greet you. I have never been to a place that paid so much attention to detail to make their clients feel comfortable.
The salon itself is beautiful. High ceilings, modern full length mirrors, and great location in case you decide to people watch while you wait for your color to set. The music is always pleasant and never overbearing. The salon is always clean! I can go on forever about how much I love this salon, but Unilocal says my review is already longer than most.

What a beautiful salon! It was a little hard to find, but is right next to the Mission Inn, and the signage for this salon is on their door, so it took me a while to find it. The parking is metered, as well, $ 1.00 per hour; it takes coins as well as card. The girl who greeted me was really accomodating, polite, and offered something to drink when I came in. The interior is fabulously industrial and somewhat urban-​outfitters-​esque looking, with the original brick wall on one side, chandeliers hanging from the ceiling– really cool.
This review is in particular for Jocelyne. I have been going to her for my cut, color/​highlights, and everything in between for about 4 – 5 years! Not only is she just the sweetest, she is also massively talented, has an unparalleled passion for her craft, and somehow always works her magic on my hair time and time again! There is a reason why I haven’t strayed from her, and followed her to this lovely salon :). She is meticulous with her work and wants to make sure that you get what you want, so bring a couple pictures of what you would like, and she will make it happen. She is especially good with color, and is able to make even a big change look very natural and the color just blends so beautifully. I’m always happy with my results from her, and you will be too :). She also has an instagram account that showcases her work, so check it out: jocelyneceleste!

For beautiful color, cut, service ask for Jessica Mayta! She cares about You, and goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy with her results. She has a great aura to boot. Ask for Jessica! I’m a blonde with darkening roots. She did an awesome job achieving my natural born color.

Ask for Vince! He is amazing!
Came in for my routine highlights and haircut. Mind you, I have tons of thick hair so it is quite the task! I have had my hair ruined by people who are not properly trained regarding different hair textures, but never at JM salon.
This is the only salon with true professionalism in the I.E. I was referred to him by my friend after my old stylist gave me a bad ‘do and am so glad I went! I haven’t had my hair done by anyone else besides vince at the salon, but all the stylists are extra friendly and always will greet clients with smiles. This salon had excellent chemistry and i will be coming here for years to come!

Jocelyn is amazing! She may be the best colorist I’ve ever seen. She is always punctual, professional, and full of great ideas for your hair. I loved her so much that my husband (who has NO interest in his hair) and our twenty year old daughter are going to her as well. I can highly recommend her as we are all incredibly happy with her work. A side note: I’m turning fifty in a few months and Jocelyn has literally helped me to feel better about this aging process. Having good hair goes a long way in the confidence department.

If you need a great haircut, color, or beautiful updo, then I encourage you to visit the very talented hair stylist Jocelyn. She is passionate about her work and cares about her clients, taking the time to listen to their concerns and always delivers top-​notch results. I followed Jocelyn to the Jon Michael Salon from her former location at Aveda. I was very impressed with Jon Michael salon as well — it is in a central location with a beautiful modern interior and energetic atmosphere. Appointment reminders are sent via email and also text message, which is super helpful! I look forward to my next visit with Jocelyn here.

I love coming here! Oscar is amazing at what he does. I won’t ever go to anyone else to do my hair… I have left happy the times I’ve gone to him! :) it’s in a nice location, everyone is also very friendly, and I like that they text you prior to your appointments so you don’t forget. Jon Michael Salon never disappoints.

I followed my hair stylist to this wonderful salon when she changed locations. Jocelyn is amazing and I highly recommend her. She has always listened to what kind of cut, style, and color I want, and done a beautiful job with styling my hair.

I really enjoy my visits because the service is top notch and owner Jonathan is great Stylist he has so much passion its like art work ! The location is in historic downtown so It’s beautiful place.
