Studio J

Studio J is located in Arbor Ridge Professional Park, on the corner of Bruce B. Downs Boulevard and Bearss Avenue in Tampa, with entrances on both streets. Clients come from New Tampa, Wesley Chapel and Carrollwood, and many have been coming for years, some since the salon's early days in New Tampa.

The salon's approach starts with getting to know each client, including their lifestyle and personality, so the hair it recommends suits their everyday life. The salon describes its setting as family friendly.

Services cover haircuts, color and styling for men, women and teens. Color and highlighting are the salon's specialties, with balayage among the named color techniques. Other offerings include Brazilian Blowouts, hair extensions, and styles for special occasions. Men's cuts and styling are listed as 30-minute appointments, while most other services are listed as one hour. Appointments can be booked online or by phone at (813) 505-5337.

Policies ask for at least 48 hours' notice before canceling to avoid a cancellation fee. Guests who no-show may be asked to reserve future appointments with a credit card. Guests arriving more than 15 minutes late may be asked to reschedule, and late appointments end at the originally scheduled time. Children aged 4 and under must be supervised at all times by an adult who is not receiving a service.

Gift certificates can be bought in the salon and are valid for up to one year from purchase. Unused products that are no more than half used can be exchanged or refunded at full value. The salon states a goal of 100% client satisfaction and offers a 7-day re-do policy, which does not cover color correction. Defective tools may be exchanged for a like item within 15 days of purchase with receipt; later defects fall under the manufacturer's warranty.

Takes time to learn each client's lifestyle and personality before recommending hair that fits them.
