?When you are new to an area (as I am) it is a daunting task to find good hair care. It takes time, patience, and money. I realize that. My first stop was Google Reviews. I looked to find highly rated professionals in the area. I came across Vasquez Salon. The reviews looked good, so I decided to chance it.I went to Johnny to get my haircut and toned. I showed him photos of exactly what color I wanted, and he agreed to do it. I asked for some color to be added to the bleached ends to match the warm brown hair closer to my roots. After toning my hair for 15 minutes, he showed me the results. He had darkened my hair so much that it was exactly my natural hair color, which is a dark, dirty blonde – and it was monotone. There was NO resemblance to what I had asked for or showed him in the pictures. It was horrible. Where was the warm brown color I asked for? The hair color was completely different from what we had agreed to.I expressed my displeasure and asked for him to lighten it. He did apply a different toner (and charged me extra) but that didn’t do much of anything, and my color stayed monotone.As I was being prepped for the cut, I had occasion to have to listen to the foul mouth of Alex (the assistant) who shampooed my hair. That was a sign of things to come.After this entire ordeal (and it was an ordeal) was finished, Johnny happily overcharged me by $50 dollars. Knowing I was unhappy (tho he kept saying he wanted me to leave happy), Johnny told me to shampoo, wait a week and then call if there was still an issue. I called after 4 days. I was told that I could come back, but they would charge for more work, as opposed to fixing the disaster Johnny created.I was never told that what he was doing was more expensive than what I asked for. (tone and cut). Essentially, they lied about the price and his ability to do the job. The actual haircut was adequate. The rest was a nightmare.I am taking the time for a thorough review because, just maybe, I can save a few people from being lied to, overcharged, and left with disaster someone new must fix. I know there are good reviews for this salon. That’s why I went in the first place. Keep this review in mind if you decide to try Johnny. Don’t say you weren’t warned. If I could, I would rate this salon a 0 or negative 1.

The best salon in Fort Smith in my opinion. Everyone who works there is very welcoming and kind. I was offered coffee/ water while getting my hair done (never in my life had I been offered coffee while getting my hair done), Alex gave me an amazing scalp massage, and Johnny made me feel like I had the best hair on the planet. For reference, I am half Puerto Rican so I have very thick tight coily curls. If you have curly/ ethic hair, you know how hard it is to find a stylist who won’t have you leaving looking like Dora the Explorer or who knows who. I am never going anywhere else or letting anyone else touch my head. My hair has never looked better and with Johnnys hair care advice, my hair has never been healthier. So thankful I found this Salon. Also, if you’re a guy and need someone to cut your hair, April had my boyfriend looking finer than ever…these people are where it’s at.

Finding a new stylist can be a daunting task. Let your worries fade away at this salon! I greatly appreciated Johny’s attention to detail for my cut! I didn’t want to trust just anyone with trimming my blunt bob and he did a phenomenal job! He took his time and made sure it was nothing less than perfect!Alex gave me an amazing scalp massage as he washed my hair, too! My hair and I felt taken care of :) highly recommend this place!!

Johny and Alex have a top of the line salon. They have spent years perfecting their knowledge of hair and products and have years of experience working with all types of hair. I was in search of a quality salon, a style that suits me, and a healing experience for my hair and that is just what I received. Thank you both. I will DEFINITELY be returning.

The salon itself is so nice! Everything is clean and I love how the place is set up. I made an appointment with Diana. She's the best! She's super sweet and kind. I was really nervous when I showed up since I have curly hair. She calmed me with all the tips about taking care of my hair and telling me she actually likes cutting curly hair. Talk about "phew". I could never be happier with my experience. I'm definitely coming back ! Thank you Diana! I have found my favorite place!

What a wonderful salon! From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the friendliest people. Johny cut and styled my hair, and though I was extremely nervous and never knew what to say or how I wanted my hair cut, he was patient and did an exceptional job with my cut ✂️ ❤️. I left with straight hair, which was a bit of a shock for this curly girl ( I haven't seen straight hair since the early 2000s), but it looked great. After a wash, I got to see the real magic though! Would definantly recommend Johny for a curly cut (and have). I truly enjoyed all the laughter and joking between all of the staff. They made two very awkward girls laugh immensely

I’ve been going to Johny for a couple of years now and i won’t let anyone else cut my hair. I go to him with only a rough idea of what I want and he does that and better every time (:Services: Haircut
