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.

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 wasnt 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 dont do what I want, but theyre amazing. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

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 :)

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.

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 persons individual needs, and the nicest folks around!

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.

Johns a great barber. 5/5. Perhaps the best haircut Ive had in Gainesville.Went here for a mens haircut. Called ahead and John was able to fit me in that day. The location was very clean and professional with comfy chairs :)I dont have much more to say other than its probably the best haircut Ive gotten. My hairs 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.

I always leave this place feeling my favorite way to be-- FABULOUS! Ive had so many challenges over the years with stylists, but John actually listens AND he genuinely cares. That means so much. It helps that hes 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

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.
