Have you ever paid a lot of money to get your hair cut or coloured and then were completely unhappy with the end result? Or have you gone to some pompous hair studio and then realized that the fortune you just spent was not worth the pretentious appeal? Sometimes, perfection can be found in the most quaint, petite salons. Sometimes, quality is closer than we think. Both of these things can be found here in London at the Jeffrey Donald and Joseph Hair Salon.

Founder, Jeffrey Pommer has bought and sold 19 different hair salons including Rush, Berkana and One Mint Julep since 1978. Pommer first started at university but then realized after his first year that he was meant to be in the creative industry, mainly hair styling. He came up with a short term goal which he eventually fell in love with; the result being the creation of Jeffrey Donald and Joseph Hair Salon. Started here in London, Ontario, Jeffrey Donald and Joseph now has locations in Strathroy, Woodstock and Toronto.

The thing that separates Jeffrey Donald and Joseph from any other hair salon is their stylists, their atmosphere and the overall experience you receive there. As soon as you walk through the doors, you hit a wall of beautifully scented Aveda candles and luscious, topof- the-line styling products. The cozy, accommodating environment really makes you feel like a part of the family at Jeffrey Donald and Joseph. Instead of going to some massive, commercialized hair salon where you feel like just a customer and nothing more, Jeffrey Donald and Joseph gives you a one-on-one experience with one of their many naturally talented hair stylists.

Pommer said that providing above average care to clients is their main goal, and after one visit to the salon, you will see that they live up to their promise. They provide a lot more than the average “walk in, sit down, mediocre haircut, pay then leave” type of service. Their indoor and outdoor lounge area allows you to bring friends and family with you to share the experience. They offer you a wide variety of refreshments, quality products and a few laughs that will make the experience even more memorable. The best part? For college students their quality hair styling comes at a very affordable price; a top-of-the-line salon without the overpriced cost.

Once you go to Jeffrey Donald and Joseph Hair Salon once, you will never want to go anywhere else, as their great service and friendly staff just simply cannot be beat. Pommer said that he plans to keep the salon growing and adapting to the constantly changing industry, as well as to continue providing optimal service to present and future clients.

Jeffrey Donald and Joseph Hair Salon is located on 630 Richmond Street where they are open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every Monday to Saturday; accepting both appointments and walk-ins.
