John is a consummate professional and he gave me the perfect haircut today. It was such a joy to see Donnie and John again. The salon is warm and welcoming, and I will certainly be going back in the future.

For the first time in over a decade I have an amazing hair cut. Fantastic experience with a high degree of professionalism and the mood is jovial. Thank you so much Donny.

Amazing service!!! I got lost on the way because I am new here but they did not hesitate to call me back when I was lost and show me the right directions. I got my hair trimmed by Donny for the first time in Gainesville . Donny paid a lot of attention to my hair and handled it delicately and efficiently . I also gave him some examples of what I would like my hair to look like and that I would like to have less volume and he executed it very well. Overall would recommend :)

Do not go any where else. They treat you like rolaty and you will be breathless and grateful for their artistry.

I drove an hour to his shop, based upon the reviews. John's talents and skills are impeccable. He didn't rush and took his time. He has a positive energy that brightens your day. Im very happy and it's worth the drive. Highly recommend-5 Stars !

I had such an incredible experience here! I never trusted anyone with my hair but these two are amazing. They cut my hair exactly how I wanted and it wasn't expensive at all! They listened to me and told me I could come back in a week to get some more layers, and I ended up coming back and my hair looked even better! I have super thick hair so sometimes stylists don't do what I want, but they're amazing. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.


Feb 05, 2024

John cut my hair and it is the best cut I've had in a very long time, it was exactly what I wanted! Great quality and very welcoming salon, I will definitely recommend others to go here!


Feb 05, 2024

Lovely place. John gave me an amazing haircut and was super nice. He took the time to make sure I was happy with the cut and made adjustments when I asked. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for lgbt people.


Feb 05, 2024

Phenomenal experience! Got my hair cut by Donny, and from the get-go it was the most care I’ve ever had anyone put into a haircut. He gave me some good advice and left my hair looking and feeling great! Plus he’s lovely to talk with. Highly recommend.

Alyssa is the best

I got permanent hair straightning treatment and paid over 300$ for it to NOT WORK!!! 😭 The owner said he would fix it then I get told finally after waiting for months that its my fault my hair isnt straight and hes NOT fixing it.. then i got blocked! Seriously!? Not professional at all...


Feb 05, 2023

Was worried about getting a new/much shorter haircut for the first time, John took good care of me and made sure I was relaxed the entire time.


Feb 05, 2022

I always leave this place feeling my favorite way to be-- FABULOUS! I've had so many challenges over the years with stylists, but John actually listens AND he genuinely cares. That means so much. It helps that he's authentically himself, which I really appreciate too. Nearly a decade later, I can say that this establishment has been consistent with all the good points that I could mention. Thank you, John Russell Salon!! xo


Feb 05, 2022

I have been a client for well over a decade. John and Donny are the only ones I trust to color and cut my hair. I’m always impressed by the level of service I receive and love coming into the salon!


Feb 05, 2022

I love all the attention and services JohnRussell Salon offers. My hair always looks amazing. Best salon in Gainesville


Feb 05, 2022

I've been going to this salon for several years. John & Donny are amazing, caring and honest. They always make me feel important and I leave feeling refreshed. I totally recommend this salon!


Feb 05, 2022

John and Donny are so awesome and their services are so amazing that I actually drive an hour to go to their salon. My first visit was after I had a terrible perm. My hair was a horrible mess. BUT after a few visits and FOLLOWING their advice, my hair was better than ever. So, to the person who left a bad comment; you have to listen when they are telling you how to follow up on your hair! They are professionals and truly care about each person's individual needs, and the nicest folks around!


Feb 05, 2022

John's a great barber. 5/5. Perhaps the best haircut I've had in Gainesville. Went here for a men's haircut. Called ahead and John was able to fit me in that day. The location was very clean and professional with comfy chairs :) I don't have much more to say other than it's probably the best haircut I've gotten. My hair's pretty long (thanks pandemic), but I needed it cut for graduation, so I just told him to clean up the back but keep it long.


Feb 05, 2022

JohnRussell Salon is THE premier spot for all things hair! Their cuts and color are spot on, their hair treatments are spot on and most importantly, their customer service is spot on! I highly recommend John and Donny.....they will not disappoint!
