Laura - July 2019

Great haircuts family atmosphere! I have curly hair and Emily did an awesome job! Next time we're here we will go back

 

Kate - April 2019

The stylist are knowledgeable and helpful.  I started going 3 years ago after an attempt to go blonde went wrong. They spent 4 hours fixing everything and making it perfect. I've been going there ever since.

 

Michelle - April 15, 2019

These ladies came and did hair for my wedding and they were fantastic! Extremely friendly and professional. They let me do a trial run of my hair about a month before the wedding and make changes as needed. Very fair pricing as well and they do awesome work! I would definitely highly recommend them.

 

Bridget - April 6, 2019

Jay & his team are amazing.  I am not an easy client traveling back and forth to NYC every 2 months & Jay & his staff including Tucker handle my hair with grace.  They are amazing & I am grateful. If your in the area it is the only salon to use! Xxx

 

Ham - March 2019

As someone who just had their usual hair stylist cancel on them, I was extremely scared to get my hair cut from somewhere I didn't know, especially since Harrisonburg haircuts aren't exactly cheap! When I first walked in, I was greeted by my friendly stylist, James/Jay I think his name was, and even offered me a drink! He spoke to me about my hair and what my style was, even how I washed it. 6 inches off and a new haircut later, I felt relieved he did such a good job! The hair layering was perfect in every way, made me feel so much better to have a whole new transformation. If you get it cut by his wife, it's $35 for cut, wash, and style. $60 for James.

 

Allison - February 2019

Cynthia - November 17, 2018

Yesterday I came in with my hair completely fried from products I was using (I’d never had damage before bc I don’t color or process my hair). I wanted to keep my length for a lob but knew I could trust Jay to give me the right cut to recover my hair’s health. Ended up with this BOMBSHELL cut that has me feeling super sassy! I’ve been coming to Jay for years and can not recommend him enough!!

 

Carls - November 3, 2018

Jen - September 2018

Saw Emily for my first visit to Brown & Co. Recommended by my in-laws. I love my haircut!! Even though very busy, Emily took her time with deciding and then completing my haircut and styling it well!! I will be back.

 

Jill - July 2018

AMAZING staff, everyone has a friendly face on, such a warm and clean studio! Would recommend to anyone,  great products and skills as well! Def going back!

 

Laura - July 24, 2018

I needed to get my roots touched up and a trim. Sounds simple, right? I live in Atlanta and needed someone I could trust with my hair while I was away from my stylist. I did a search. Read the Yelp reviews. Loved that Brown & Company use Aveda products. So, I made the call, a little bit hesitant, but the gray had to go away. I was fortunate to have Emily do my hair. I explained my worry (which probably was too much pressure to put on her.) Emily did a fabulous job and made sure it was perfect to my liking before I left. I totally put my trust in her and I have no regrets. I love this Salon and the people that work here are fun people to be around. I would give Emily and the salon a PERFECT 10 if Facebook had a 10 star rating. Thank you Emily!!!!

 

Jolene - June 22, 2018

I stopped in while in town, and had a wonderful experience. Emily took her time to really understand what I was looking for and came up with a plan to meet my needs. The entire staff is like a family, and my experience was wonderful. I love how they take time to help one another, and are consistently eager to learn from one another. Even the owner was on the floor helping out in anyway that she could. I had a later appointment that took longer than anticipated, but they never made me feel like they were rushing or upset about being there so late. This will be my new "home town" salon. I would highly recommend paying them a visit.

 

Charity - April 29, 2018

I'm so happy I found this salon. I moved to Harrisonburg from a larger city about 4 years ago. I have tried so many stylists in the area but I was never fully happy with any of them. Emily at Brown and Co. is fantastic. She listens to exactly what I am hoping to achieve and executes. She has cut my hair twice now and each cut is perfect.  I just went for a color yesterday and I could not be more pleased. She is meticulous with her balayage technique and it shows - it's the best color I've ever had! She stays current on modern styling techniques which [for me] has been hard to find. The salon is very laid back and has tons of products to choose from (yet they don't push product on you at all). I would most certainly recommend them to anyone.

 

Anthony - 2018

Jay is great and is always willing to take time with you and discuss all options and what looks best.  A great experience every time I come back to the burg.

 

Tom - 2018

We drive 20 miles cause this is the only place that cuts my wife's curly hair RIGHT.

 

Sherrie - 2018

Always a wonderful experience! Alli is amazing! She does such a fantastic job.Jay, Ann and the rest of the crew are top notch stylists as well! I chose this salon because it is also an Aveda salon. Everyone knows what they are doing. Very professional.  You can't go wrong - I highly recommend!

 

Rachel - 2018

Loved this experience, loved my new haircut! I got a TON of hair chopped off, and they did a fantastic job helping me choose what I wanted.

 

Hannah - 2018

Friendly staff and a great haircut! Reasonably priced

 

Julia - 2017

The BEAST of hair design and color!   No lie! I went from drab to fab in one afternoon!   And it happened at Brown & Company Hair Design! 

 

James - 2017

We love this place. The whole family comes here to see Jay and Alli. They don't rush you, and are able to make great suggestions on reinventing you hair style. 

 

Kim - November 16, 2017

First time visiting this Salon and Love it! My hair looks awesome! Service is stellar! Highly recommend... Thanks Emily

 

Jennifer - October 4, 2017

I recently had an appointment with Alli, and love the results! She was warm and friendly, and really listened to what I wanted my hair to look like. I haven't been this happy with a haircut for a long time. (:

 

Zahra - July 22, 2017

Emily was an awesome stylist and had a lot of experience working with ethnic hair, which is huge!!! She gave me a killer cut and dye. She is very professional and I highly recommend this place.

 

Rachel - June 24, 2017

Went to Brown & Co for the first time this afternoon. I messaged them via Facebook and was able to get in less than an hour later! Jay was very welcoming when I arrived and I felt incredibly relaxed the entire time I was there. Emily did a fantastic job finding me a new cut and did an amazing job cutting my hair! She was very knowledgeable with the products they carried and was super helpful in finding me something that I could use. She is very sweet and friendly as well! I definitely plan to go back! If you are wanting something new or different, but you don't know what, go here! Thanks Emily! (:

 

Jennifer - April 20, 2017

Beautiful work is done here by the nicest people in a lovely environment

 

Mary - January 28, 2017

It was absolutely the best hair treatment I have ever received! I brought in a picture of what I have been wanting for a long time and Lydia sites did just that! If you want a balayage she is the women to do the job! I have never thought I would ever have hair this beautiful before. Thank you so much!

 

Carol - March 5, 2016

I visited Brown and Company this past week for a total change!! I called and made an appt 3 days out with Jay. When I walked in I was comfortable from the start. Receptionist new exactly who I was, offered me a drink and I sat for no more than 3 minutes. Jay introduced himself and we got started. I have had long hair for the last 18 years and was ready for a change. My hair is very thick and straight, I relayed to Jay what I wanted and what I didn't want. I had brought some photos as well. Jay listened and evaluated my hair. He told me his plan, and we got started. I ABSOLUTELY love my new cut!! the whole experience was great. when I walked out, I felt like a million bucks. So I knew I would write a review saying as much, However, I thought like many woman do when leaving a salon," Can I make it look like they did at home?" So after 3 days- I still LOVE my cut and YES I can make it look like Jay did!!I truly believe that is in part to the cutting techniques used! I am thrilled with my experience and look forward to going back and keeping my new look!! Thanks guys for a wonderful experience!!

 

Stephany - 2016

To be honest, I have always preferred to go to the dentist than to a hair salon. I just don't like most  salons - they usually smell of hair product and disappointment.

I've been salon hopping, hoping to find one I like. In this process, I decided to try Brown & Co.

I am so glad I did!

Jay was very friendly and professional. He actually listened to what I had in mind and made a few suggestions that helped me, rather than ignoring what I wanted. He has a great eye for which hairstyle goes with which facial shape.  And for once, I felt completely comfortable in the salon. The ambiance is great - it's an older home with parquet floors and great architectural features. And the atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly. Most importantly, I left with a hairstyle I love!  

Carly-  October 5th, 2015

 
I love this Salon! Anna did an amazing job, she's not like other stylists that just sit in awkward silence. She really talks to you & makes the process fly by. I absolutely love my cut & will definitely be visiting again!

As a frequent user of Yelp, but not a reviewer, I had to take the time to post about Brown's.  I moved to Hburg within the last 6 months, and after a horrible hair butchering experience and allowing time for "grow-out", I consulted Yelp, I made an appointment the day prior, and I arrived unsure of what I would be awaiting me.  I was immediately greeted by Emily who offered a me a drink and a promise Ali would be finishing shortly.  A little about the salon. It's in an old house with fabulous hard wood floors. It's a bit small, but very clean and well-lit and the ambiance was soothing. After finishing her previous client, I was received a consult to what I wanted. The previous hair cut (not here) was horrible. It was longer on one side then another with a v cut (shorter in front, longer in back...and nothing that I requested). My hair is thick, naturally between curly and kinky and 3/4 of the way down my back.  I've had my hair cut all ways: wet, dry, partially wet, straightened with a flat iron.  Ali wanted to wash my hair to see how my curls fell (first time that's been asked), and aside from the end result, the hair wash was awesome, soothing.  Ali listened and cut my hair exactly how I had asked. After she was finished, she explained how the previous hair stylist cut my hair and why it still looked off center. She advised options.  After discussing, she was able to match the sides which was an art form all in itself.  A couple minutes under the hair dryer and presto. Ive, honestly, never had my hair look and feel this fabulous.  The cost was very reasonable.  I paid 80.00 for a wash, style, dry, a bottle of product and a 20.00 tip. I HIGHLY recommend Browns and I will return again and again. Thanks, Ali!!

 

 

Eric- June 2014
Had a great experience here. Got a very high quality haircut from very professional individuals. I was treated very kindly despite it being my first time there. The price was high at 20$ but reflects the quality. Would reccommend to guys looking for a good haircut.


Heather- September 2014
Morgan and Sarah did an awesome job. Everyone was super friendly and I could tell they really care and love their job. I will defiantly be back

Sybil- September 2014
Such a great place to go, and even greater stylists!

Cheryl July 2014
Ann I have had two women ask me for your contact information lately (as they played with my hair). One lady was in Panera and the other was in Martins. I suspect you will be cutting their hair soon! :)

Tania October 2014   
Great people, wonderful haircuts and highlights. Sorry I live too far away now to come here!

Carolyn, October 2012

The haircut has been great, Jay. Thank you!


Julie, September 2012
Love, Love, Love my Hair Ann Brown, thanks so much for thinking outside the box...lol
 
Kindra - August 2012
Best service around!

Melissa – July 2012
My daughter and I have been going to Brown & Co. since they opened and we always leave feeling wonderful! Jay, Ann and Sarah are all artists, really. They take the time to know you and listen to what you want. They just do a beautiful job! Usually I just sit in the chair and say " Do whatever you want"... not many people can say/do that. But really that's how great they are! I recently had my eyebrows done by Sarah... and I have never been so excited about my eyebrows .. in fact I just ignored them all together because it never "wowed" me. Then in steps Sarah....she listened to exactly what I wanted and did just that! Just call! Make an appointment... You'll be so happy you did!

Kyle – July 2012
My wife and I have been regulars at Brown and Co. since they opened their doors a couple years ago (and before that we were their clients at their previous salon). Needless to say, we couldn't be any more happy with the service from Jay and Ann. They always are very welcoming, the salon is always sparkling clean, and their stylist skills are unmatched in Harrisonburg. They know what they are doing and the best part is, is that they care for their clients. You'll find it uncanny how well they remember your last visit and conversation - they're just that good. If you need a haircut in Harrisonburg, VA, don't go anywhere else!

Danielle , April 2012   
Sarah gave me the best haircut I've had in years! I also enjoyed our time chatting. Excited for my trim and color next Saturday, been waiting 6 weeks!!:)

Debbie,
I had a great times with Sarah, Anne and Jay yesterday! Thanks for finding me a new style. I love it as well as my color. Good job Sarah...

Tessa, February 2012
I've gotten so many compliments on my new hair cut! Thanks for helping me discover the fantastic-ness of short hair (it's especially perfect for dancing in the rain!)

Julia,
Sarah, I LOVE my new hair!! Thank you Ann and Sarah for the pampering and great afternoon playing with my hair and making me walk out of Brown & Co. Hair Design feeling like a Million Buck$!!! Love it! Great talent and I love my color and style!

Becca, February 2012
Jay, thanks for the great hair cut today. I think it's the first time anyone has been able to get it even on both sides! It was nice to meet you.

Marcella, January 2012
Ann- I love my haircut! I'll definitely be coming back to see you! Thanks!

"It was just SUCH a good experience. It felt like I should have been paying a 100 dollars instead of 30. They really took there time to sit down with you and listen to what you wanted. It was one of the best experiences I've had."

Traci ‎ — Jul 9, 2011
"Brown & Company are FANTASTIC! I would recommend Jay to anyone and have already told SEVERAL of my friends to visit them for the f450 smoothing treatment. If you're considering it, DO IT! I had wavy and frizzy hair, but after the treatment I can blow dry my hair with only my fingers and it looks BETTER than it would have if I would have spent an hour blow drying with a round brush and flat ironing it. Just got back from having Jay do a cute cut that I NEVER could have pulled off before the smoothing treatment. TWO THUMBS WAY UP!"

Darlene ‎ — Aug 6, 2010
"Pleased with Brown & Co. I have been a client of Ann Brown's for the past seven years, and not only has Ann been a miracle worker with my hair, but she has proven to be an excellent resource for the latest in hair care products. Upon my most recent visit to Ann's salon, she used and recommended that I begin using the 1.5" Tangle Free Hot Air Brush . This product has completely changed the way that I style my hair, adding body without having to use harsh chemicals to achieve the same result. I have valued and trusted Ann's professional opinion for many years, and I know that she accepts nothing less than perfection. I take comfort in knowing that if she recommends a product, it not only exceeds her expectations, but it's one that will only enhance the quality and overall look of my hair. I recommend Ann Brown at Brown & Co. to anyone."

Cory ‎ — Aug 5, 2010
"I have been going to Ann for nearly 10 years! She and Jay are incredibly talented. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming and professional. Great place for a trim, new hair style and color!"

Lori ‎ — Jul 12, 2010
"Brown and Company is THE new place to get your hair done! Ann brought all her talent and charm from her old salon and offers a lovely experience and a superb haircut. The new place is very upscale and stylish with a very relaxing atmosphere. Ann and Jay are a great team."
