James Salon

I started going to the James Salon in Fort Collins in 2012. Went for a few years and moved. After getting lousy hair cuts elsewhere, I decided I needed to go back to Aveda. I was going to go back to the James Salon but found my stylist moved/ transfered south. Although she would come up to For Collins on occasions. Then one day close to 2021, I went to make an appointment and saw the Ft Collins store closed. Went to a different Aveda. Then I moved to Greeley and didnt even realize there was a James Salon HERE!!! I was so excited. My first stylist was Alex and she did an amazing job. Although...with every single salon I visit...I can never tell if I like my hair till I try to style at home. And I ALWAYS return within 2 days for a "touch up". Even when I went to quick haircut stores like Super Cuts or Great Clips. Its nothing against the stylists. My hair has been thinning over the years and I am VERY self consious of it. If I cant style it to hide my thinning, I return within only a couple days. I also let my stylists know, I may be back. Sure enough...I was back in Alex's chair a couple days later LOL. A year later (May 2025) I waited too long to schedule to come in before my sons graduation. Alex was booked so I took another "fresh talent". Im not going to go into detail but when I got home, I was called a "Karen" by both my husband and son. I was in a panic. My other sons graduation was in 2 days. I called back later (after hours) in tears. I left a voicemail and the next morning they called and got me in that day with Master Stylist Casey (KC?). She completely reshaped and transformed my chopped and bobbed hair into something so beautiful...I fell in love with that short of a style. The other day, I tried to book again with her but she was booked out till October...so, obviously, I booked with Alex because I trust her. Let me also say...its been over a year since she highlighted my hair and it really still looks great. Today she just applied a shampoo toner to brighten up my hair (Im trying to transition to embrace my greying hair). She cut my hair and already knows I might be back. I hope not but if I am...she knows and they hold no judgement of my pickiness. I will forever be going to James Salon...just like I started to in 2012...thanks to my best friend that insisted we only go to Aveda. Well, and because her daughter was/is an Aveda stylist. Now...she has been a master stylist for several years now and owns her own salon as of this year (2025). If only she were closer so I could get my hair done for free LOL. Thank you Alex and Casey (or is it KC). Also, the receptionist is SOOOOOOOOOOOO friendly. I cant remember her name...but I will remember next time. Love and hugs to everyone.

I went to James Salon for the first time, Alex cut my hair and she did an amazing job. She listened to what I wanted and gave me gorgeous layers. The salon is an inviting environment and they are accommodating to children.

I called on a Friday morning for a last minute hair cut. It just so happened Alex had a cancellation and could get me in. This girl is absolutely AMAZING. I am usually picky about who touches my hair, needless to say I booked my next hair color appointment with her! The atmosphere and ladies were very welcoming! Shania is also a wax goddess. Loved the vibe of this place ❤️

My experience with James salon was amazing although I do have a couple things to say. Although the girls work there are fantastic and sweet I believe James him self can work on himself a little bit. While I was there I couldn’t help but notice his tone and words to his employees. As someone who has a business I wouldn’t think to speak to them that way. While James is a good guy I still stick with my opinion that he could work on it a little. I always say stay humble or get humbled. Over all my experience was great and I appreciate them taking care of me!! My hairs never looked better!

I can’t say enough positive things about James Salon and especially my stylist Alex. We recently relocated to the area and I selected James Salon due to my love for Aveda products but their customer service far exceeded my expectations. I have been going to Alex for almost 5 months now and she is amazing. From the moment I met her, she made me feel heard. She truly listens to what I want and nails it every time. She takes the time to ask detailed questions but also shares her expert opinion and never steers me wrong. Her expertise in color is incredible – she transforms my hair with such precision, and encourages me to take risks and have fun with my hair and color. I’m always beyond happy with the results. She’s also amazing with my two daughters who are always wanting to update their look. I’m very happy to have found Alex and a salon I feel comfortable at. I’m looking forward to my next appointment!

I went in with thin, damaged box dyed hair and have come out with beautiful healthy hair after the past 6 months. I appreciate the upfront pricing as well as the honesty for services. This has been my first salon experience where I’ve gone back for multiple appointments to color correct. I would definitely recommend the salon and Alex to whoever is looking for services.

Don't go here to get your nails painted. The polish on my nails is uneven and sloppy, done by a woman whose main expertise is hair - I'm sure she's great at that! I'd rather get my nails done by someone who mainly does nails though. It was a nice experience and the staff are very friendly so overall I had a good time, but I am not impressed with this streaky, globby, messy paint job.
