Jean Madeline / Plymouth Meeting

07/14/2008 Posted by runawayturtle

Jean Madeline has been just ok. They offer you coffee, tea, and water per policy, but the staff is not the warmest. The only reason I was going was to get a cut by Larry. I called up today to get an appt. and they said he left a little over a month ago! I would never have found him if it weren't for the two people who posted on here about him going to Salon 90. Thank you! Does anyone know how much it costs to get a cut there? I have been looking all over to find a general price range, and I even called them but they are closed Mondays. I can't afford to pay $80 for a haircut so if someone knows about how much that would help me so much!

Cancelled my last appointment when I learned Larry was no longer there. Best haircut ever and fun to talk to. JM refused to tell me where he had gone but with a little bit of detective work I found him! If you want the best, skip Jean Madeline and go to Salon 90 on Bethlehem Pike in Chestnut Hill and ask for Larry! You won't be disappointed~

Hey ya'll. Saw that some of you are looking for Larry. He's moved to Salon 90 in Chestnut Hill. I think it's on Bethleham Pike. I have an appointment with him next week and can not wait. I'm thrilled for him and anyone else that has left JM. I've never found the staff to be accommodating there. Miserable attitudes! Congrats Larry!!!!

Pros: Larry

Cons: Everyone else from JM

well prettygoodyear i think its hilarious that you say that you "feel bad" about stuff like that...and what kind of stuff were you talking about? the part about you not liking your haircut or the part where you come on here like a raving b#$*h and trash diane-who btw happens to be a great stylist- talking about her "trashy jersey girl" hi-lites! yeah you must feel terrible about being mean...not liking your haircut is fine it happens all the time but its the trash talking that you do that offends me...i seriously doubt that you are as cool/pretty/stylish as you think you are...i have been going to jmpm for almost ten yrs now and love it! if you dont like someones style of cutting DONT go to them...there are a million stylists in the area and about ten others at jm...just dont be so damn mean!

Pros: stylist are great

Cons: none

My Wife & I have been coming here for years. And could not be happier with the customer service, products, and most of all our hair. Oddly enough ..styled by Diane. Honestly, I don't usually document my experiences on the internet. But when my wife brought to my attention what was said about our Diane, well I felt compelled. My wife has been with Diane for years,and always looks wonderful. Nor has she ever been disappointed in anything Diane has done or suggested. Not even her " Jersey-girl" hi-lights. That I happen to think look great ! Her complete satisfaction played a big part in me switching to Diane as well. (sorry Kali) And I have to say "I LOVE MY HAIR" !! I would not even think of letting anyone else near it. Diane is our one & only. And frankly I found the comments from "prettygoodyear" offensive, hurtful, and completely uncalled for. Diane is always friendly, warming, and just plain charming. an absolute pleasure ! As well as an amazing stylist. Judging from the dozen or more friends & family we've sent her way. We're not alone in our opinion. I sincerely hope that anyone reading this realizes the truth. That Diane is a lovely person, and a wonderful stylist. And "prettygoodyear" is clearly some bitter troglodyte, who expects a hair cut to disguise her misery and self loathing. Someone who can only dream of being as fun loving, outgoing, and enjoyable a person, as Diane is. In closing, if you're not happy ? Why not simply move on ? Why the need to publicly bash a kind and talented person. And for what ? Your hair. You should be ashamed. Do Jean Madeline or any salon a favor...cut it yourself !! so "sniff sniff" take a big whiff... because Diane is "The Poo" :)

Pros: full service salon, friendly staff, great hours, and the lovely miss Diane.

Cons: n/a

I've been getting my hair cut here for about 3 years now without incident, but I now find myself seriously considering the thought of taking my business elsewhere. When an appointment was booked for me with Diane, I was a little nervous because I had not been happy with her work on one other occasion. HOWEVER, I smiled politely as I always do & decided to just give her the benefit of the doubt regarding the previous bad cut. BIG MISTAKE. Words can't describe how bad this cut was - it was almost as though she did it on purpose. the "long" layers ended up being at least 5 inches shorter than the overall length, which was cut 2 inches shorter than I'd asked for, & it wasn't even cut evenly. I'm surprised she didn't go ahead & give me tacky, Jersey-girl frosted hilights to match hers. Anyway, I didn't notice the damage till I got home...OK, I figured maybe it would look different after being washed & restyled. NOPE. It ended up looking like an even bigger trainwreck than before, if that's possible. After 24 hours of tears & friends/family asking me what the hell happened, I decided to call to have it fixed by a different stylist. KUDOS to them for doing this for free. HOWEVER, I recently stopped by in passing to schedule an appt for the next day, at which time the receptionist told me I had "a choice of 4 stylists," one of whom was my nemesis Diane. When I politely (& a bit awkwardly - I feel bad about stuff like this) informed this girl that anyone BUT Diane would be acceptable, she responded by saying (snippily), "Well, Diane is the only one available." ???? REALLY? Are you sure? Cause that's not what you said 30 seconds ago...It was at that point that I decided to take my business elsewhere, at least for that day. I haven't had an overall problem with this salon but the above sequence of events has caused me to think twice. If I ever DO go back, one thing I know for sure is that I will never, ever let that woman touch my head again. Ever.

Pros: Mostly great staff, fixed awful cut for free, mall parking, great products.

Cons: Diane. Snippy receptionist who is either a liar or just REALLY dumb.

I have been going to Jean Madeline for 3 years and have never left unhappy. The service is friendly and professional. My hair color always come out looking natural and shiny and my cuts have been perfect. I highly recommend this user friendly salon!

Jean Madeline located in the plymouth meeting mall offers wonderful service, a clean work place, friendly employees and beautiful hair styles. My hair dresser Larry always makes my experience enjoyable. I have very coarse curly hair and he always manages to find helpful products and fun stylish new ways to wear my hair. I would highly recommend both Larry and Joanne if you are looking for the prefect hair cut and good conversation.

Pros: Positive Aura

Cons: Very busy

I had the best experience when I visited Jean Madeline In Plymouth Meeting. George did an excellent job coloring my hair, it turned out perfect! I enjoyed the hand massages during the time Joann cut and blew dry my hair. This was the first time I went to her and I am going to continue to have her do my hair in the future. She knew all about the products and what I should use on my hair. It was very helpful and I love the Aveda products. The overall service was great, everyone was very nice and helpful. I am going to continue to go there for years to come.

Pros: Service

Cons: Crowded
