This lady at this salon is very kind hearted as well as being a very good hairdreser.Very good hairdresser and very funny .
Great hairdresser and great woman full of character.love her !Lovely lady who takes time and individual care . My hair was the best I think it's ever been and was not overpriced as I have been used to. Very friendly people in there too. The lady who owns it has a very nice way . After returning to Garforth I called to see Joanna as she used to be my hairdresser when I originally lived here.
Nothing has changed she is still the same happy her and made me laugh as she used to. It was lovely and so is my hair. Good company as in hairdressing and personality.
First ever visit here as my brother goes .
Very nice .
Thankyou for doing my hair and cheering me up too.Had my hair cut here last Sunday by joanna . Very real and particularly easy on the eye as well as a very good hairdresser.Really pleasant place to have your hair done . The lady here knows instantly what is right for you and is very good indeed and has a very nice way about her. My colour was perfect and she didn't cut too much off as that is always my main worry. Very well done I appreciate everything.Come here when in Garforth and Joanna certainly walks the talk as the saying goes. Very impressed by what she remembers too which makes you feel you're being genuinely listened to.
A really nice place .Joanna who owns Blacks is very good to people aswell as being a very good hairdresser.
I have known her many years.
Everyone likes Joanna A lovely lady .It has always been a very happy place Blacks . Very free atmosphere and accepted by everyone immediately like joining one big conversation. Smashing lass Joanna that's why and last but not least a great stylist. Very uplifting place. If you are down in the dumps ever like myself sometimes you won't be anymore .
Not just a very hood hairdresser but a tonic I tell you.
Joanna has always been very much this way and makes everything alright again.
Laughter and more laughter and a very kind person too .Excellent!
Knows her stuff !
Very nice woman too !
I have been coming to Blacks for 20 years or more. Joanna is not just a good hairdresser but a very kind hearted person who genuinely listens and not just about hair subjects. Everyone who goes there is friendly and all join in conversation. Sometimes it is very funny at Blacks because joanna is totally unlimited and probally says and does what we'd all live to have the courage to do at times. Very fond of her we are.Very nice woman who is a very good hairdresser and doesn't overcharge.
My neighbour has been to her for years and has always been happy there and recommended Blacks to me . I came out very happy with my hair and had a rather nice day there for my first visit as everyone was extremely friendly to me and nice atmosphere . Great hairdresser great personality great big heart too. We have always gone to joanna for those main reasons . About 25 years or so now too.It is a tonic coming for your hair doing at Blacks. Nice customers and extremely comfortable atmosphere . I go on Sundays I always have for many years . Joanna who owns the salon is very much a free spirit and I have known her many years and she's always been that way . My hair is always just how I like it . She eats alot ! I have never seen anyone enjoy their food like her and its funny to see her eat as she makes all these noises my grand daughter thinks it's funny.Never felt so comfortable anywhere as this. I am disabled and I am nervous about going places . The lady who owns this salon is very caring and kind and so patient and for all the time and attention was astoundingly fair priced. Very nice woman and very good hairdresser.Very nice person here who has really helped me feel more confident after being very poorly . A nice happy place .Very welcoming and happy place.
Everyone talks as if they've known you years as no nervy awkward feeling.
My hair was lovely and did not cost as much as I have paid before as everything was included in price I was told. No rushing and full attention given in lovely atmosphere.First visit to Blacks today !
Felt immediately at ease even before the owner Joanna started because as I was sat having a coffee and chocolate biscuit I thought what a character I like this woman. Very down to earth and very funny easy going and my haircut was best I think I've ever had she took her time and showed me how to dress it out.
Nice place and an extremely nice lady who owns it too.Very lovely lady and has a nice way with people. My husband and I visited on Sunday and we are both very pleased .We moved to Garfoth a few months ago and found Blacks very welcoming and a very good hairdressers.Amazing with kids as well as adults. Our two love her. Nice woman.Down to earth posh, a great mix !
Had my barnet cut and styled by a very attractive lady here called johanna and found the experience very positive and uplifting . My daughter thought it was the best ever so I will be back . Great hairdresser and a fun place to go.Very nice person here who spends time with people and remembers things about people even after only one previous visit. My hair was lovely on my first visit and why I returned although a while later due to the pandemic regulations. Good atmosphere with a caring owner.Thankyou Beryl Wright Had my hair restyled today with Joanna at Blacks and its great !
Thankyou xHad haircut by owner Joanna and best haircut ever . Ate loads of jaffa cakes and massive coffee.
I like her because I am usually shy of salons but she made me laugh and smiled through the door which I found funny and welcoming.Everyone was really friendly who popped in .Good personality and very attractive lady .What a lovely salon and customers. Very uplifting atmosphere and different to anywhere I've ever been. My hair was cut in a fabulous layered bob after trying to grow it long and joanna made me laugh when she asked very matter of fact what the heckers for as it looks absolutely terrible and it looks as if I have been living like some nomad somewhere for twelve or so years.
It really looks so lovely now and has a lovely shape and is so swishy . Thankyou lovely funny lady Joanna Great hairdresser and great place !
Been about 5 times now and it's like I've been coming here years .
Very nice person who owns it and a fantastic sense of humour . I like it there very much.My hairdresser Joanna at Blacks always has time for everybody. Very warm and welcoming and an uplifting personality.
There's never a dull moment there and I have been going for over 20 years. Very good value for the time and care and you can talk to her about anything and because of her personality you feel better about things too. Joanna stands no nonsense though and is very honest and genuine but in a lovely way.Joanna is just joanna and has always been as she is. Very good hearted and very caring , in fact she overcares beyond measure . Always been good to us and we've had her at our home too when Barry was just out of hospital after an accident . Fantastic hairdresser !I love Joanna cutting my hair because I am 78 and she makes me feel 18 again.
Although I mean that in a nice way Nothing matters at Blacks you are just accepted. Lovely hairdresser.Joanna has always been good to me not just as a hairdresser but as a life long friend. Nothing is too much trouble and she's a good listening ear as well as a fiercely genuine advice giver because she knocked me into shape over something really silly I'd been thinking for years. I have my hair cut and coloured on Sundays and it's alway fun . Very funny and loveably cheeky. Great company and a good hairdresser. Good vibrations and nice coffees at Blacks.Great place to come for a haircut.
Always good atmosphere too
Joanna is a really nice lady and very good to people .
I do not do reviews or have a Google account but wish to remark about Blacks.
Never having been before I was recommended and from the minute I rang I felt very secure and that I was talking to someone who understood perfectly. Long story short ,I was thrilled with the result as my hair was the best I think I've ever experienced and I felt wonderful. Very firm attitude and straight to the point but my goodness the proof is in the result. Very nice place and extremely caring lady here who knows what she's talking about both in her job and life because I found the whole time I was in Blacks a very uplifting and refreshing experience. Very good hairdresser and a very friendly happy place. This lady has alot of time for people as people not just coming for their hair. Very good character and personality and knows what she is talking about. I have been attending Blacks for ten years or more and I enjoy going as it is always good conversation and laughter as well as a very good haircut.I have been coming to Blacks since joanna opened as she 7sed to do my hair at home many moons ago. Everyone loves joanna because she's always been the same be it in salon or in sainsburys. My hair is always just right with colour and cut and her prices hardly ever alter. Most of all joanna brings people together and you feel uplifted and confident through knowing her as I am quite a reserved person but at Blacks everyone blends in the conversation going on at the time because Joanna makes sure they are included. A very good hearted lovely person and hairdresser to me.Joanna is absolutely potty but a nicer kinder hairdresser I'd never find .
Thankyou for the many years of expertise and laughter because you are a tonic my love. XXI do not do Google so here are my thoughts regarding Blacks on Main Street Garforth.

Joanna is my hairdresser at Blacks .
My hair is always cut exactly how I like it .
I have been coming here for at least 10 years now .
Joanna is not just a hairdresser to me but a very kind and thoughtful friend who sometimes says and does the most beautiful things.
The salon is so happy always and a very uplifting atmosphere all the time too.
My appointment is at the same time on the same day and the price never seems to ever change and the coffees alone are worth a few pounds I'd say too, yet all included. Joanna is a very good hairdresser and theres never a dull moment . Joanna has been doing my hair for many years and is a wonderful hairdresser and a very kind person. Joanna loved my late husband very much and they used to chat for ages about so many things . We know her family from Moortown too. Joanna always tells me I have such lovely hair naturally because I am just naturally lovely but I think that about her too. Excellent! Joanna has cut my hair for the past year since I retired as a GP and moved to Garforth. A very welcoming salon and Joanna is a like a breath of fresh air .
I generally go in on Sundays and I look forward to my chats with her actually as I genuinely find her very good interesting company not just my hairdresser and am always given a very warm welcome and a lovely rather large latte coffee with chocolate on and biscuits. Very happy indeed with Blacks.
Joanna is a fantastic hairdresser and person and her salon is always full of laughter . Watch out though if you dont want a coffee and a million biscuits she will ask you hundreds of times and I have witnessed this and think it's so funny. I love her as shes so unique and a real dare devil at times but so alive and real as I once saw her just suddenly sprint up the street in bright yellow rubber gloves to the pillar box before she missed the pick up and everyone wondered where shed gone . My hair is always cut perfectly though despite all the dramatics at Blacks but no one I am sure would ever want it to change in there. Love her xLike no where on earth sometimes at Blacks. I go to Jo once a month as I have very short hair as opposed to Jo's very long hair. It's very relaxing and very entertaining and Jo is just a very nice woman and extremely welcoming and down to earth great sport type. Lovely hairdressers and lovely owner and lovely coffees too. I go to Blacks for my hair and was in on Saturday. Its lovely there and Joanna is as people say but has always been so as long as I have known her. The salon us a very happy place and people are all at ease and comfortable with nice pleasant conversation which does include a good debate now and then too. My hair is always coloured exactly right and then highlighted to finish . Joanna is a perfectionist in her work . Joanna is a good hearted person and very comical too.The salon is the way it is because she is very good with people and the fairest person I think I've ever known. Potty but nice potty !
Love her to bits xI do not do Google and my phone is out of the ark hence being here.
Joanna is my hairdresser and has been for a very long time . A very nice person who is very good to people as she is very kind hearted . Joanna is very entertaining and funny at times and an absolute tonic . I am in Blacks quite a while but everyone is always very friendly there . My hair is always lovely and the prices never go up . Joanna has also bobbed to my home once or twice as I broke my ankle and couldnt drive . It's very down to earth and comfortable and also very uplifting at Blacks .
Very good hairdresser and kind person.Joanna is a excellent hairdresser . I have very long hair myself and I go to her in Garforth .
I first met her when she was buying Amla oil from us for her own hair .
We got talking and i visited her salon for my own hair cutting and have been going ever since .
Joanna buys her Indian spices from us too as she is always cooking international foods .
Although I was born in England my parents are Indian and we have a store in Leeds.
Joanna has attended two weddings of my family too.
My hairdresser is Joanna at Blacks too and is a good hairdresser and defo good company . I have gone to her for many years now because of those reasons . Always fits me in as I am self employed myself and it's difficult to commit for a weeks ahead appointment.Late Sundays are great for me . Joanna is always very welcoming and eager to hear all the latest . Joanna has done my hair for many years and has always been the same. It's a lovely atmosphere in the salon and Joanna is a very naturally caring persona as is all her family actually as I know of them . Very welcoming warm people.Joanna who owns Blacks where I go for my hair doing is an absolute breath of fresh air. It is one of the happiest places if not the happiest place I go to.Everyone is extremely well looked after and no one is left put of the conversations that go on there ,nevermind the laughter aswell. I first walked in at a time in my life when I didnt think I had much life left and I felt so uplifted that first visit that I have just carried on and that was several years ago. Joanna is a perfectionist in her hairdressing and does not charge ridiculous prices or rush at all. I love to go to Blacks.Top woman !Joanna is my hairdresser at Blacks in Garforth. She is a really good hairdresser and a really lovely person .
It's never ever boring at Blacks and everyone is very friendly that goes there. Joanna is very genuine and very kind and can be very funny at times and it is such a happy atmosphere there always. My hair is always absolutely perfectly highlighted and cut as Joanna takes her time on everyone and goes mental if anyone tries to rush her which is really funny sometimes . It is always a very happy salon Blacks .I have been coming to Joanna at her salon Blacks for roundabout 10 years . Joanna is very friendly and funny sometimes as I know her socially too. Very good hairdresser for sure though. I took my daughter Emily to Blacks as my friend told me about it. My daughter is only four years old and quite a shy little girl. However as soon as she walked into Blacks it was like a dream come true for her to be surrounded by all the Disney characters . Joanna is a very welcoming lady and Emily was laughing and eating ginger biscuits and drinking juice as if shed been there many times. Her hair was beautifully cut and it was all a very nice experiance for her. I have even booked an appointment for my own hair too. I would reccomend Blacks very much as it is a really lovely place and Joanna is one of the nicest most friendly Hairdressers I think I have ever been to and I know Emily certainly loved it there . Grand lass is Joanna and has been doing my hair a very long time. Although I dont go as often as I should but I am z very busy bloke in farming and it's just how it is in that game . However Joanna did my hair when my parents ran the farm so that explains the very long time I spoke about. I just like her as a person really as she is easy to talk to and sorts my hair brilliantly . Blacks is just a very nice comfortable and welcoming place . I have been coming here to Joanna for 15 years . It's always full of nice people and nice chatter goes on. Joanna has a lovely nature and is very good with people naturally which is why it's such a happy place to come to. My hair is always exactly as I like it and Joanna takes her time and the prices are all in as one price no extras mounting that bump up the cost. Lovely refreshments too.
I go very late on Fridays after work and it's very cosey and homely there . I like Joanna very much as she is a very thoughtful person and did my hair for my 50th free as a present for me which she did not tell me until she'd finished which was so nice of her to do too. I dont usually do reviews but I am for this place.
Been coming here since last Christmas and liked it that much I am still coming.
Says it all I think .
Jo is a super hairdresser and a very natural down to earth funny one too. Very welcoming and easy to talk to . I have known Joanna since 1990 and that's how long shes been my hairdresser too and a very good hairdresser she is too and a wonderful very cheery uplifting person .
Lots has happened since then I have lost my parents my husband and survived bowel cancer ,causing early retirement from nursing due to all those reasons.
Joanna came to my home for two years whilst all this was going on and was one of my many supporters in some of these too. I looked forward to her coming after the salon on Saturdays because she always made me feel better by not just doing my hair but helping me learn to laugh again and not letting me sell my car as she felt sure I'd drive again in time .
Which is how I now get to Blacks now on Sundays .
I went to Blacks where I met Joanna the owner to discuss a hair appointment as I have moved up here from Kent and needed a new hairdresser .
It is a very friendly place and I didnt bother to try elsewhere as I felt so welcomed so immediately .
Joanna did my colour on Saturday late afternoon especially and I was very pleased indeed with it.
I find the salon Blacks and Joanna who owns it and some of the customers who I met there a thoroughly lovely experiance and one lady has invited me to go to yoga too with her as I was searching for a class nearby . Joanna gave me a voucher for next time and I have already booked that next time. Very satisfied indeed with my new hairdressers.
Been coming to Blacks many years now and although retired still drive over to Garforth and get my barnet cut with Joanna at her salon Blacks. I am always welcomed in and also straight into the in full flow conversations that take place there. It's a great place and a good mix of people go. Joanna is a good people person and her clients are loyal due to this .She is very fair priced and I always have a very large hot chocolate there with cream on and cookies at no extra cost and a copy of The Telegraph or latest car mag or Hello or Yorkshire Life or even the Argos catalog is readily available and I just chill out there. Its everything combined together really at Blacks that make going there so nice .
I had my hair highlighted and restyled at Blacks by Joanna after seeing my sister in laws hair on Friday . Joanna did an amazing job and its half the price I pay in Leeds too. I live very near her and that's how we knew of her and were recomended by our neighbours who Joanna visits . The salon has a really good atmosphere and Joanna says, it's called happy talk as it's good for peoples health . Other customers were so nice to me too , as it was as if I'd been a regular there years aswell like Em had said also. Joanna's prices at Blacks are all inclusive so no surprising extras added on to bump up the approx price given, which I think is really good as you know where you are money wise with her from the first call to enquire and you can pay with mobile bank transfer so no fees there either. I even got a voucher too for next time which I have also booked along with Em for nearer Xmas too late on a friday evening too. I am very happy with everything at Blacks .Fantastic colourist and a fabulous cutter and a really nice person.
Joanna at Blacks has cut and coloured my hair the best I have ever known .
It's a very nice salon and makes you feel really happy somehow as it's not over priced and she listens to you and takes her time. I have already booked for Christmas too. My hairdresser is Joanna at Blacks and she is a very good hairdresser too. A great woman with a great personality who loves food . I have seen her at the salon and in restaurants socially and eats more than any other woman I have ever come across and has the most unbelievable figure to match . A beautiful woman inside and out and all my family love her too.Thankyou for your kindness this past year . I go to Blacks where Joanna is on Sundays as I am an air hostess but I also go to Cookridge Hall . Joanna highlights my hair the best ever and I really enjoy going there too. Joanna is so real and down to earth as we were all on about glasses at coffee once, being Ray Ban or such and she just chelps up
" Mine are from Asda kids section £45 mutifocal all in " and it made us laugh because hers looked the most expensive actually and that's just how she is all the time. Everyone likes her for it too.
I always love my hair too .It is never ever boring at Blacks that's for sure I agree. I have known Joanna since we were kids at school and just walked into Blacks one sunny Saturday afternoon as my daughter was looking at all the characters in the window and I heard all this laughter and realised it was in fact Joanna . We went in and Joanna made us so welcome and just included us along with everyone and my daughter absolutely loved it there . Charlotte now has her hair done there and refuses to go anywhere else and I have a little trim every so often as I have long hair too. It's a really nice place and Joanna has always had a nice personality for as long as I have known her she has been the same . I go to Blacks for a haircut often as Joanna is a good hairdresser and a nice person. I go on a Sunday as I am a HGV driver which takes up my week. I like going because I feel welcomed and comfortable and she is down to earth and we have good chats about all subjects .Joanna at Black's has been my hairdresser since I was born so we go back 28 years . I have very long hair and just have it just sprayed with water and trimmed and it costs £9 that's all every 3 months. The reason I come to Joanna at her salon is because I am disabled and she has always made me welcome and looked after me and she makes me laugh. Joanna loves animals and to hear about my cat Felix and what hes been up to. I work at St James hospital but live in Kippax which is next to Garforth where Black's is and can go on Sunday afternoon and it's very easy to park . Joanna always makes yummy hot chocolate with marshmallows on the top and they are included in the price . Joanna is a really nice person and I have always had her to cit my hair for that reason.I am on my way too to Goodwood too doing this so if I see Billy today I will give him a kiss from you too aswell.
It is always a pleasure to come to Blacks ,which I do so every 5 weeks and have done for 10 years or so now.
Being in the car business myself it would be my dream to have Joanna as a car sales woman because they'd fly out. She once floated in , interrupted me in a very serious sale of a vehicle of considerable cost and just said if you can afford it theres really no question is there and floated off again .
That's how we became friends .
Great hairdresser and although very cheeky the greatest car sales woman I've ever known .
Very good hairdresser indeed and a very nice woman .
I have my haircut by Joanna at her salon Blacks when I am in the UK (reside in USA) Known her years. Shes always been the same , meaning a a very good hairdresser and a lovely person. We all spent our youth together that's how I know her. Always made so welcome with a massive hug and introduced as a life long great pal . The salon has never altered ever and it's a real nice atmosphere always . Until next summer then Joanna .Joanna my fab hairdresser who bangs really good quality China crockery about as if it was rubber and wonders why her mother used to tell her off when she washed up as a kid . A great day today laughing at the past and just acting silly. I love my hair doing at Blscks by Joanna but then I have been having it done by her for 22 years mind. Love Nadine XMy name is Isobel and I am 15months old. Today I had my first ever haircut at Blacks in Garforth where Winnie the Pooh lives. The lady there is called Joanna and she is a really nice lady and let me have Winnie in the next chair to me. I have golden blonde curly hair and Joanna told my mummy that I was so beautiful whilst she trimmed it so it would look tidier. Joanna wanted my sparkly trainers but they would have been too small for her she said. It was really nice having my first haircut at Blacks with all the Disney characters . My mummy said that we will return soon too. I waved goodbye and blew kisses to Joanna as I crossed the zebra crossing to mummy's car . Joanna is not only our hairdresser but our neighbour of many years too. She comes to our home mostly or we go there to the salon (in summer) . Joanna is a very good hairdresser and very bubbly and although she eats all our biscuits she always brings us a little cake each too. My husband is very fond of her because she cheers him up as hes not such a well man and it is a bit of a lift for him as he was a keen golfer before illness made it difficult and he is mostly housebound now especially in bad weather which is why Joanna comes to us . We call Joanna our happy visitor because she is and makes us happy too.Our hairdresser is Joanna at Blacks here in Garforth. We have been having our hair done by her for many years now. I not so long ago lost all my hair due to chemotherapy treatment which made me very depressed but still went to see Joanna at her salon when my husband was having his cut . Immediately I got a massive hug and an even bigger "How are you Caroline ?" from Joanna . Joanna is as people say like a breath of fresh air and even though I have been very poorly she incorporates her concern within the laughter and antics that go on. My husband likes to go because they talk about cars alot of the time and its Dave's favourite subject . He also likes the way Joanna cuts his hair as it's very thick and curly but Joanna has taught him how to gel it so it stays under control until his next cut. I usually have cut and colour but not at the moment . It's not just a hair salon Blacks it's like a really happy little island and such a lovely place to look forward to going to. Joanna is my hairdresser at Blacks here in Garforth and has been for around 12 years. I just call her book my cut and highlights in and that's it because she knows me so well and my hair is always perfectly coloured and cut every time and is not ridiculously priced either. Joanna is a very in fact extremely fun person and a very kind person too. I work shifts being a policewoman and she fits me in every time and has even stayed over to do so . The atmosphere in her salon is always so nice and everyone just seems to chat together very naturally as if they all know each other. I believe this is a result of Joanna's own natural personality being this way and people just feeling comfortable in Black her lovely salon.My name is Enid Cawood and I di not do Google .I have known Joanna firstly starting out as my hairdresser for almost 40 years which is how our close friendship developed from. I have never gone anywhere else ever in all those years and quite frankly wouldnt want to as long as Joanna is there. Joanna is a very kind hearted person and always cheers me up and especially recently as I have just lost my husband Gordon who liked Joanna very much too and she thought he was really naturally funny as hed been in the guards and was quite a serious chap but joanna won him over. Joanna was very kind to me during his illness as it was a loss to her too. My hair is always cut perfectly and I love my time in the salon as joanna makes everything fun and makes sure I eat and drink if not immediately but somewhere in that time . She makes me laugh alot and thinks I am still about 40 but that's because she doesnt see age she tells me . Joanna is as people say a really lovely person and I can most certainly vouch for that. Lovely lady and good hairdresser. Had my hair cut on Sunday for first time ever with Joanna at this salon. I am really shy in hairdressers but she made me laugh and I felt instantly very comfortable . Joanna certainly knows her cars and I was very impressed . Nice atmosphere and beyond excellent service and doesnt overcharge. I will most certainly be returning to Blacks . I have been coming to Blacks for quite a few years now as Joanna is a good hairdresser and also a very nice person.
Joanna is fun loving and it's just a very happy atmosphere in her salon due to this. Joanna is very understanding about everything and very kind to everyone and there is no rushing . My hair is always cut perfectly as it's quite strong and wavy and it's so shiny and sleek when I leave . Joanna is also good with animals as even dogs stop at her door like my two and wont budge until shes aknowledged them both. Joanna will even come to your home if you cant get to the salon as she did with my mum before she passed away in May and like others have mentioned did not charge. Blacks is like a little refreshing Island my husband always says and that Joanna is truly a breath of fresh air there . Joanna at Blacks is a very good hairdresser and a very nice woman indeed. I am always made very welcome and we have good conversation always too. I first came to her about 4 years ago as passing through and as she will go out of her way to fit you in then so will I too because I couldnt imagine really going elsewhere now . It's a really happy place Blacks and I like going very much . Completely and utterly raving nutty crackers potty but the greatest friend and hairdresser anyone could have. I have known Joanna a very long time and she has always been the same. Very good hairdresser , great fun ,big hearted and good to all people. Always a pleasure coming to see Joanna at her salon Blacks in Garforth . Joanna is always joyful and uplifting and just a very happy person to be around and a nice person too who genuinely cares about people . My hair is always beautiful and I have been coming here over 10 years . Joanna is very funny sometimes but so natural and real when she is talking. My parents both thought the world of her when they were alive as that's how I met her actually as I was living in Australia years ago and returned due to them becoming ill and infirm . Absolutely love Joanna to bits since meeting her . A really genuine character who is very good at her job. Love you Jo xWe dont do Google account but are leaving our thoughts here regarding our relationship with Joanna at Blacks.
Due to living partly in Portugal we are only back here in summer .
Joanna has done both our hair for possibly now 30 years and up until retiring (both in police) and now in the summers upon our return.
We love her !
Reason why is because not just her being a very good hairdresser but a very nice person too. Joanna is so welcoming and a very uplifting person . We lost our son Jonathan in a motorbike accident about 15 years ago and joanna did his first ever hair cut which we have photos of as we go back many years . Both Greame and I always call to see her throughout our summers back here in UK as we did yesterday and always will . That massively welcoming "HELLO" is the first thing we always tend to hear when we phone or call in too. Love this woman too. Joanna cuts my hair on a Sunday as I am a doctor and only have Sundays free which is a God send.
We all come from virtually the same area and have known her years, although I live in Otley now , I couldnt imagine anyone else ever cutting my hair. Seeing Joanna is like coming home and back down to earth and we always have great chats as she is not just a very good hairdresser she has a lovely character too.
I just walked into Blacks for advice out of the blue about my colour 10 years ago and that was it
Joanna immediately told told me this
"Beige blonde darling not ash blonde and that's where you are going wrong !"
Straight to point she was and I can be difficult so she won me over with her quick response expertise assertive attitude there I can assure everyone.
Joanna has seen me through to two kids later aswell now .
Great woman ! I Love her zest and genuine down to earth tell it like it is attitude .My kids love her to bits too.
My hair is always fab !
Fabulous hairdresser and Fabulous person. I love her xJoanna has been my hairdresser for approx 35 years and not just a fantastic hairdresser all those years but a marvelous friend too. I look forward to my hair colouring and cutting every 4 weeks at Blacks which is a very happy comfortable salon. Throughout knowing Joanna she has been very good to me as I was seriously ill for quite some time and had to have a life changing operation . Joanna has catered for my health needs upon every visit to the salon always since too. Apart from that she did me a surprise photograph of one of my favourite places Runswick Bay in a beautiful frame and also said "once I was feeling up to it she would take me there too." Joanna kept to her word and I had the most wonderful time and so much fun in her company, so she said " I shall take you again" and did so for a retirement gift for me . Plus she never forgets my birthday either and sometimes invites me out along with others if I feel up to it .Joanna has been the most genuine kind and caring thoughtful hairdresser and friend to me beyond measure . I do not live in the UK full time but come back here in the summer. I also call to see Joanna who I have also known many years, at her salon Blacks whilst here , which I did this weekend. Not only is she a very no nonsense fair priced excellent hairdresser she is also a very down to earth what I'd consider real genuine character . It's like coming home spending time with her and we just carry on from our last meet up.i certainly laugh alot in her company as she is never ever boring. My whole time at Blacks is just a refreshing experiance as I always have considered Joanna like a breath of fresh air taking me away from my stresses and strains of my own business concerns . I have actually known her since 1980 firstly as my hairdresser when she was younger and she has always been the same both in her salon at Blacks and also socially over the years . A very good hairdresser and a very nice person .I walked in here 11 years ago and I've been walking in ever since. Reason being the owner Joanna . I was treated better than I have been treated anywhere in my life. Champion woman she is and good talker . I have tea and chocolate biscuits whilst I have my hair cut and we talk cars because she knows her cars does Joanna . Down to earth nice woman who is interested in folk and good to them too as I am one of them .I have been coming to Joanna at Blacks many years and so did my late husband . It certainly is a very happy place as people say. Joanna is a very kind lady and came to our house in my husband's last few years as he had Parkinsons Disease and he thought alot about her as I did too for this. I go over to Blacks regularly and really enjoy myself as Joanna makes everything fun as she is so cheery. Many times Joanna has stopped to give me a lift if she has seen me anytime . My hair is cut beautifully and I do not need to do anything but wash it now and this has been marvelous, plus people think I look better too. Joanna's prices are very good value and she will only do what is right and easy to manage and look nice for you. I have always been very happy at Blacks.A very happy hairdresser who makes other people like myself happy too. Joanna has been my hairdresser for 20 years and is a perfectionist in her work. My hair is always done exactly as I like it. The salon is always full of uplifting chatter and laughter . People of all walks of life are all welcomed and everyone just blends in together. Joanna is a real genuinely lovely person with a great personality who is excellent with all people . Joanna at Blacks is great with kids and did my son Alex's first haircut when I had mine first done . Now my 9 month old daughter Grace has had her first tiny snip too this weekend . It's just a nice place for adults & kids alike . Joanna is an incredibly cheery and friendly nice lady. My hairdresser Joanna is an absolute tonic. I had my hair cut yesterday (Saturday ) and she made me laugh as she was driving to Birmingham later on and was impersonated the clients who are always rushing . It was probably the funniest I'd ever experienced of all my visits to Blacks . My hair is always coloured and cut to perfection even though all this goes on . It is so uplifting going to Blacks because there is never a dull moment there ever . Always a lovely person and always a very happy place .We have known Joanna many years and a nicer woman you couldnt meet . Extremely thoughtful and kind hearted and seen us through many events in our family . Joanna is a brilliant hairdresser and has a brilliant personality to match. Never a dull moment in the salon. Everyone talks in like one big conversation . Very good with people she is too. There's no rushing though as Joanna cant tolerate it and it's sometimes very funny how she responds to being time challenged by anyone.
Its is a very happy place thats for sure and very homely and cosey too.
Joanna has been our hairdresser for 18 years and is not just a very good hairdresser but a very kind natured hairdresser too. The salon is a very comfortable welcoming and happy place and everyone chats together .There is always alot of laughter too come to that because Joanna has a fantastic quick witted sense of humour and if you went into the salon down in the dumps say , then I certainly guarantee you wont when you come out . Prices are very fair for the attention and time Joanna takes and our hair is always as we like it and always has been, as others have said from day one. We are and always have been very happy .A very good hairdresser who knows her stuff and is a very funny lady who is great company .Always a happy greeting on phone and a warm welcome upon arrival. An all round nice woman who is good at her job .I cant leave a Google review, as I dont have a Google account ,so I am putting mine for Blacks on this alternative here. For the last 10 years Joanna has been cutting my hair at this salon that she owns . Joanna is very direct which I appreciated from the first ever appointment I had ,shes doesnt mess about and i certainly felt reassured and she also did exactly as she said and the rest is history . Joanna is a very kind woman and very good with all people.
Been coming to Blacks approx 7 years . Joanna who owns the salon is an extremely nice person and is very easy to get on with . My hair has always been spot on from first day I ever walked through her door. I like coming to Blacks because the atmosphere is so welcoming , which is down to Joanna's good personality . Joanna is down to earth and has a great sense of humour and my late mum was fond of her too as she did her hair for many years also and didnt charge her towards the end which was very kind of her too.My hairdresser is Joanna at Blacks also and has been not just an excellent hairdresser to me for many years, but one of the most kindest and thoughtful people I have ever known. Joanna has a really very unique personality and although takes her work very seriously, she also is so full of life and nice to be around. The atmosphere in Blacks is always happy and people all talk together (even newcomers ) there is no awkward feel ever and nor does Joanna push selling anything, but by the time she's spoken in great detail to you regarding your hair you feel and know for sure that you are in the hands of someone who knows what's shes' talking about and feel very well cared for. Josnna takes her time with every single person whoever you are . I love to go to her salon on a Sunday as I am a nurse and can get my sleep rebalanced beforehand . I relax with the Hello mag and as many coffees as I want whilst I wait my highlights developing. I live quite near too so what could bd better than all this. Great stuff !!!!Been coming here since moving to Garforth from London .
Just walked in about 5 years ago one Sunday and was made very welcome by Joanna .We have great conversations and she makes me laugh whilst cutting my hair brilliantly. I just find the whole time I am there a rather refreshing experiance to be quite honest with everyone . Joanna has been my hairdresser at her salon Blacks for many years . Nothing is too much trouble for her and she is a very good hearted person . I have experienced this after being seriously ill a few years ago as she was very good to me and actually lifted my spirits at a very bad time in my life as I was very depressed and wouldnt go out and it was Joanna that actually helped me conquer that. The salon atmosphere is always happy and everyone chats together . My hair is always exactly as I want it and the price never alters ever and its like an outing for me too.Not just a nice place I'd say a really nice place with a really nice owner. Couldn't do enough for us today .This woman has the patience of a saint with kids and is a very good hairdresser . A great personality and a great hairdresser. Joanna has been doing my hair 10 years or more. I work all over the UK and sometimes abroad and one of my favourite things every month is calling in to see her and totally chilling and having a natter about nothing in particular whilst she expertly cuts my hair.
POTTY ! but one of the nicest people you could wish to meet .
Joanna has done my hair for 30 odd years and you never know what shes going to tell you but it will always be entertaining even if it's supposed to be serious aswell and it is very funny sometimes when she is talking openly on the phone.Joanna will never do something that isnt right for your hair and explains why in great detail so you understand . Children love her in fact they are mesmerized I'd say better describes it because she is always eating and they cant believe how many times she offers them more biscuits juice and sweets as she is a very kind generous person too. The salon hasn't changed either in all the time I have been going and there is as everyone says a nice atmosphere at all times .My hairdresser Joanna has been cutting my hair for 36 years and is one of the kindest honest (sometimes brutally but caringly brutally I mean ) thoughtful people I have ever met . My hair is cut absolutely perfectly every single time and is a simple style and a simple price to match . Joanna cares for peoples welfare and has helped me enormously over the years with certain things that have happened to me (too long to mention) she loves animals and oddly they love her too as my cat is very timid and theres only Joanna she allows to pick her up which we cant believe as no one else is allowed . Lovelly atmosphere in the salon and stimulating conversation and nobody is left out everyones two penneth has to be contributed .The coffees are delicious and very large good quality and lovely cakes or biscuits served alongside too. Joanna is both serious when necessary but more than anything the best way to describe her is very postively uplifting and extremely witty good fun . Great !
Called this lady last minute and she said if you can get here in exactly half a nano second as she was just about to close .
What a welcome even though shed been ready for off. Made us both a hot chocolate each and cut my sons hair so excellently and chatted away about rugby to him as if they'd known each other all his 11 years . Very pleased and will be back to Blacks .A really good hairdresser a really nice place and a really nice woman indeed. My lovely friend Joanna cut my neglected long hair yesterday and I love it so much now again . We all went out to the restaurant later in the evening and had a nice time as I am here in England for 5days as I live in Croatia. I am a hotel receptionist in
Pula and work different times of the day and am here in the UK again with Joanna who is a very kind heart woman and my happy friend too. X Nuts but nice nuts !
Always pleasant and welcoming and very funny at times. Jo is a kind person and good to people of all walks of life.
Very good at her job and doesnt overcharge and you can have as many coffees as you want there. I always come away satisfied and book my next appointment as I leave .
I have been taking my kids toJosnna at Blacks for years now and the reason why I do is due to the owner Joanna .
Joanna is a very friendly welcoming and warm fun loving full of spirit and has a lot of tenderness in her heart as one of my children is autistic and they need patience and understanding and Joanna was like this with him from the first visit and we have been coming ever since to her . My kids love her and that does honesty speak for itself in my opinion. Great little cosey place too.Not often a hairdresser tells you that you look like someone returning from some type of long expedition in the outback . This one here did about 3 years ago and I have been going to Blacks ever since. Joanna is a very fun person and a very nice person and an excellent hairdresser. I like her .
Crazy totally but the greatest hairdresser and most kind hearted and fun friend anyone could ever wish for. XJoanna at Blacks is an excellent hairdresser and has been doing my hair since I came to live in Leeds . I have a trim on my long hair approx every 3 months and she doesn't charge too much either for doing it. I am offered a coffee & biscuits every time too. Joanna is a very approachable fun loving person and down to earth lady and leaps about in the salon and Nathan my 5 year old son loves to come with me and chats away to her too as he drinks orange juice and eats biscuits also. Its is certainly a very welcoming and friendly happy place . Refreshingly real !
I first met Joanna when I called into Blacks about 5 years ago for advice about me hair as I never went regularly to the hairdressers . I do now though. Joanna got me back to my natural colour and put highlights in and as my hair is naturally wavy I never dry it. I enjoy going to her as not only is she a very good hairdresser i enjoy her company because she is good company and also very good to people . Very good with children.
We take our kids to joanna because she has definitely got the midas touch fir some reason . Gigantic marshmallows and jelly beans on hand too.
Both my kids absolutely love her and become putty in her hands and love going for their hair cutting at Blacks. I come to Joanna at Blacks because she is firstly a good hairdresser and doesn't charge overly high prices yet gives each person alot of attention and in fact gives everyone who is there alot of care and attention which I feel comes naturally to her. My husband never used to come with me and just dropped me off and collected me but he comes far earlier and Joanna makes him a frothy coffee and ginger biscuits and we talk about alsorts and he loves to join in. It is a very nice atmosphere in Blacks and I could never imagine going elsewhere for all these reasons.Joanna is such a lovely woman and has a very nice personality and shows interest in everyone . A very nice happy comfortable place.I do not have a Google sign in so here is my review of my hairdresser at Blacks.
Joanna is not just a very good hairdresser that has done my hair for 20 years but is also a very lovelly lady.
Joanna always says or writes the nicest of things and they are genuine as she is an extremely kind and thoughtful person . Joanna was very good to me after my accident and I was very anxious and she told me one day you will almost skip back into the salon .She was so right I did too. I love going there !I am a retired pilot and up until 18 months ago was a flying instructor which is how I met Joanna . Her nick name for me was bush baby and I had never been called such a name like this by anyone. However I did actually think she was right as I could have done with a bit of a make over in the hair department so I went to her salon and that's how we became friends. Although I live in North Yorkshire and maybe dont go to the hairdressers as often as I should the main thing I'd like to say is that Joanna became a very supportive friend to me after my wife Lynne passed away and invited me to events along with others because that is her nature . Thats how I know Joanna loves Eton mess and creme brulee and will eat yours if she can . A very good hairdresser and a thoughtful caring friend too .Joanna is a friend of my mums and a really nice person and loves animals and MrWhippy ice cream . She drinks many cups of tea in a day and will eat all your biscuits . When they all get together all you hear is laughter .They actually even eat before they go out for a meal. Joanna's salon is a very nice happy place and she used to cut my hair when we lived in Harrogate .
Not just a very good hairdresser and also is a very genuine person if dealing with either the everyday man on the street or mixing socially with celebrities. Being in her company is very refreshing and she makes sure everyone is included. Out of all of us joanna always had this unique way of her own. Her attitude was and still is a type of high simplicity .
In fact she always found things funny and pointless futile hardship if it wasnt. There was all these pantomimes carrying on but she used to just like watch from the sidelines and didnt get too involved and in fact found it all very funny.At hair shows she was more bothered about the food than outrageous unnecessary totally ridiculous styles that no one in their right mind would walk about with . A down to earth realist with a kind joyful understanding personality who is great company and welcomes everyone and makes them feel comfortable into her salon.
It's not just joannas hairdressing skills that have seen her longevity it's her character and personality too.
Especially when she says to people
"When you look in the mirror and think to yourself my hair needs seeing to then that's when it needs seeing to."
No pressure no hard sell
It all speaks for itself
A massive poodle in your head ?????
Think yourself lucky I had two large garden tables and 8 made up chairs on my head in that car once.
LAUGH !! wasnt the word.It was an absolute scream .
Joanna is a very naturally funny person unless something is on her mind and we have all to thrash ot out with her at times .
However she is not just a good hairdresser that goes without saying but the best friend anyone could have and absolutely great company there is never a dull moment . When we are all together time just passes so quickly as it has all these years. Joanna welcomes everyone and no one is lonely or bored around her . She is both upliftingl and has immense compassion and empathy if anything has happened . Even though she eats all the cakes. I have very thick curly hair and it takes her that long as we just chatter and laugh and laugh and laugh . I have known her many many years but all I can say is dont be in any kind of rush that's or have any chocolate cake or sweets on you when you go or even Jersey Royal Spuds in fact .
She loves old fashioned cakes like fondant fancies and Battenburg and has Bern known to eat almost a whole Victoria sponge . Absolutely potty but an absolute marvelous friend too.X
After our radio meet up in Chapel Allerton Leeds I called to Joanna's salon on Friday as she used to cut my hair too before i went to live in Scotland (due to work relocation) she cut my hair and trimmed my beard and all we did was laugh about the time she saw me whilst driving and offered me a lift only it was a two seater car and in the passenger seat was a gigantic poodle and BOTH were wearing sunglasses .I asked her where am I actually going to sit .Not often one gets a lift with a massive standard poodle on their head.
Who by the way had exactly the same personality as Joanna that of being both completely potty aswell as very lovable. Joanna thought it was really funny and still does . I think to be able to laugh like we both did yesterday says it all. I have known Joanna about 10 years and she does my hair and my daughter Emily too. Emily loves Joanna as shes always eating something nice and shares it with her . In fact I have never not been here and shes not eating as everyone is always eating and drinking in Blacks as Joanna asks several times "Are you sure you dont want anything ?" but what is very funny is that she then says "Dont be frightened " which I find really funny as she is being serious .
One thing Joanna is not very good at is technology and because I teach i find it very comically how she goes about things as it's rather unique and makes me laugh .My hair is always fantastic as she highlights and trims it exactly how I love it and always says to me my highlights are the colour of Emily's hair. Joanna is a very nice person and Emily loves her to bits .
Joanna was cutting my hair one particular time and was telling me a story about this hairdresser friend of hers Howard who thought hed have a little break and a bite to eat at his salon in Leeds and sat on a crochet hook and ended up at the LGI in casualty. It was the funniest story I had ever heard and did we laugh !!Joanna has been cutting my hair for about 17 years and it's always spot on .
The salon is always full of laughter and great conversations go on . It is a very happy establishment. Joanna is a devil at times but in a lovable way . We worked together for quite some time and she was really good to me and used to bring me all these delicious foods .I used to get cross with her as she used to make faces at me sometimes as I was so serious then . Thankfully I am not so these days although zjoanna loves to remind me by impersonating me from when I used to be so which makes me laugh.
There is no one else who can manage my curly hair like her but along with that I have always loved her company and we do laugh alot and especially about the days we worked together on the radio.
A very compassionate caring and kind hairdresser and friend .
There is no feeling of rush or no time to speak thoroughly . Joanna equally listens as much as she talks and "gets it" so to speak .A very entertaining person especially when she sang the weather bulletin over the air off by heart just like that and it then went onto absolutely ridiculous potty things besides the weather which she just reeled off so naturally.
An excellent hairdresser and a marvelous funny uplifting caring friend X
I have known Joanna 17 years both as my hairdresser and a very good friend . I first met her through her voluntary work and was mesmerised by her joyful personality and her being in mine and many other peoples opinions an absolute natural radio presenter with that very uplifting personality that is just her. I have never worked alongside anyone quite like her and that is how our friendship began really. I am very fond of her for many reasons and recovering from an illness, shall we just describe it ,myself she came to my home on many occasions and did my hair free and cheered me up whilst undergoing the treatment I was having and I let her off eating all the chocolate penguins which she used to sing "Pick up a person " instead and it really did make me happy during the horrific experience. A truly great person and with a very kind thoughtful nature . See you next month darling XAn attractive down to earth very refreshing friendly woman who not only is a good hairdresser but knows alot about cars . Anyone that welcomes in a gypsie traveller who wants to sell something but ends up joining in the conversation and having a coffee and then leaving the other person a fiver has got to be unique .
That is Joanna my hairdresser
Been coming many years and she has never changed . Joanna is funny at times as she talks openly on the phone and even when she is serious it is still funny . A very genuine character who genuinely cares as she has been very good to me not only as being my long time excellent hairdresser but someone who gives her time to others who might just need a touch of some kind of support in anything. One thing for sure she will make you smile whatever. A very good hairdresser and a lovelly person.XJoanna my hairdresser is a great all round quality kind of posh what you see is what you get kind hearted thoughtful extremely comical excellent hairdresser.I have known Joanna for 38 years as a friend and my hairdresser. Joanna is a very warm kind welcoming extremely caring and very thoughtful friend aswell and has seen me through quite a few rough patches in my life and tells me as it is has always been there for support. My hair is always coloured and cut excellently . I love coming to the salon and have met many other people there too. Joanna makes sure everyone is included in the many topics that we all discuss together and we really do laugh at times and have endless cups of coffee and little goodies. It is actually and always has been a pleasure to go and is like an outing really as I go home feeling great.I have been coming to Blacks and having my hair done by joanna for many years and it is always a lovelly afternoon as we always have a good laugh and lots of conversations and super coffee. I never know what I am going to walk into and joanna loves it if I go in my bag and she hears me rustling sweetie papers and never has just one ever and even asks for another 2. I really enjoy coming here and my husband always wants to know what went on. A very happy comfortable place with a very happy lovelly owner. A very good hairdresser indeed with very fair prices and not one that tries to sell extras all the time . The atmosphere is extremely friendly which I feel is the owner (Joanna) natural way as she is a very genuine character and made me laugh on the telephone when I first rang her which was actually what made her stand out .I told her I had my lunch at 1pm and she just said couldn't I have it at 12 instead as she didnt have 1pm free and were the exact lunch time checking police coming . This actually made my husband laugh too and after meeting her then in person I realised what a genuinely kind thoughtful nice nature she truly has and it was all very pleasant indeed there .Very refreshing one may describe her and the salon I'd say. I have been going to Joanna at Blacks for many years. Although absolutely totally potty sometimes she is a very thoughtful person and I recently had a bereavement and I have got to say she makes me happy on my visits and has been very understanding and has listened to me this past year and has actually helped me feel better.My hair is always cut very well too by the way .I thought I'd better add that in .The lady that owns this salon was very kind to my wife today .My wife has dementia and is rather difficult to handle and alot of people can not cope but this lady was very good to us and we also received a voucher and will certainly be returning.very much appreciated thsnkyou kindly .Not just an excellent hairdresser but a magnificent kind compassionate caring friend who never fails to uplift and help you see things in a more positive way ....I absolutely love herxLast November 2018 we were in Garforth as we were house hunting st the time.it was a very cold Sunday afternoon and we came across Blacks and saw the attractive welcoming window and popped our heads in.Joanna immediately greeted us with a very cheery hello and we complimented her upon the salon. Although we were not customers she invited us to get warm and even made us hot chocolates and before we knew it we were part of it all and involved in pleasant conversation with other customers .
Since then we have now moved to Garforth and I have been to Blacks for my hair styling .
I am writing this here as I do not have a Google account but I want to say that the service care and attention and of course her hospitality has welcomed us to Garfoth and we are so glad we met Joanna on that cold Sunday afternoon last year.
It is certainly a very happy place and my hair was cut the best I think I have ever had .Many thanks !
We have been coming to Blacks with our young son Elliot for quite some time now.
The first time we came we noticed how he responded to Joanna. It was the way she was with him that was very noticable.
Our son is autistic and sometimes this can be very difficult for him when meeting strangers .
The outstanding patience and kindness and sensitivity shown to our son is why we go to her and have been for the last 5 years .
Both my husband and I feel that there is something very special about Blacks and our son Elliot we know does too for sure . THE BELOW REVIEW IS A MALICIOUS ACT AND THE BIG RED DIRECTORY ARE INVESTIGATING ITS SOURCE . THE BUSINESS KNOWS ALL THEIR CLIENTS AND ITS SO RIDICULOUS AND OBVIOUS
...BUT THIS IS HOW PEOPLE ARE THESE DAYS
THE POLICE HAVE ALSO TAKEN DETAILS THIS EVENING .
SO CARRY ON IF YOU WISH
Only positive reviews allowed!THE BELOW REVIEW IS A MALICIOUS ACT AND THE BIG RED DIRECTORY ARE INVESTIGATING ITS SOURCE .
THE BUSINESS KNOWS ALL THEIR CLIENTS AND ITS SO RIDICULOUS AND OBVIOUS ...BUT THIS IS HOW PEOPLE ARE THESE DAYS .0/0This hairdressers is very relaxing and the owner is a very kind natured lady it really was nice to come here. I felt very comfortable as other customers talked to me as if I was regularly attending here. It's the atmosphere that is very pleasant and nice conversation and a very nice owner l like her way very much she's different a quality character and very good hairdresser.Very good hairdresser and a very sassy lady.
Although I am not a hairdressing client of Joanna's I would just like to say after we met not so long ago I felt to just write this to you Thankyou Joanna.Always makes me laugh with her very funny stories.Whatever kind of week I have had I am always uplifted here . Life is always that bit more humorous than anywhere else at Blacks. My very funny hairdresser makes it seem that way and is a great hairdresser lawyer doctor scientist at same time. No worrying about what to cook either for she will tell you a recipe and also make the sound effects of what it will taste like too. Don't ever change joanna. Absolutely FAB !But there's still time for her mum to learn even though she won't change the tyre maybe as well as her dad can.
Otherwise I agree so very refreshing.My hairdresser is so funny and really cheers me up (not that I am unhappy) but in a very breath of fresh air type of attitude that's so unique.sometimes she is so cheeky but only in fun and this Sunday made me laugh when she said women cook men hammer because the day she ever changes a tyre is the day she's gone mad and although her father cooks not as good as her mother ,there's no way on earth her mother would change a tyre and it made me smile as she is so attractive but to actually say something like that aswell as being a great hairdresser makes it a pleasure to go to Black's. Different but in a fantastic way ...I like this woman and wow is she attractive .I mean her joyful personality I like you nd I like your way and I like the way you cut my hair.
Thankyou for looking after Billy and entertaining him like you did.Everyone loves you Joanna. You need to know that as many people that you have helped are there to help you too. You make us smilexA very kind hairdresserAn absolutely fantastic person great hairdresser and story teller.And I will vouch for that too....she may be straight to the point no messing but one of the kindest people I've ever known and everything she says comes true. I was out of my mind because of something and she predicted exactly how I am now.....and what a joyful positive person to have as a genuine non feigning friend as well as that great hairdresser.Not only a fantastic hairdresser, with great insight into what suits best, but a therapist to boot! We all love you Jo!You make me smile joanna so much. My husband always knows when I have been to the salon because not only does my hair look better he says I come back a totally different person ...you are so thoughtful and funny and serious all rolled into one we say.A really nice person and a very good hairdresserA very nice and very caring no nonsense and very genuine character hairdresser.I was asked to leave a review if I would after meeting this very nice hairdressers. I came here due to my usual one being away on holiday and I knew of this one but had never attended here. What a down to earth interesting refreshing person joanna is .No rushing no pointless passing the time talk...interested in my hobby of classic cars and very hospitable indeed with a lovelly hot chocolate and biscuits and a very good sense of humour and my hair cut was spot on . Tar very much jo.Here is my review. My hairdresser joanna is a really lovely person because firstly she's very genuine and has a very caring nature but I come to her because she is a very good hairdresser and very naturally funny. I like her as she is a very compassionate person too as my husband is no longer here and she was very kind to me during the period he was ill and I know he was very fond of her too as she came to our home in the latter part of his life and he looked forward to it as she made him laugh .
I love my hairdresser at Blacks and have always been very happy. I work in the centre of Leeds as I am an associate solicitor in a very busy law firm and it's so refreshing to be in joanna's company. Nothing is too much trouble and whilst waiting for my highlights to develop we have great conversations and she really makes me laugh. She's just a great person and even when nutters phone her(who are not customers) she deals with it very entertainingly I have to say.A very comfortable atmosphere and a hairdresser who had immense interest in my hair takes a long time over it and is not overly priced as everything was included .Very nice hairdressers and a person called Joanna helped me with my very awkward hair .She has a really jolly attitude and it's very comfortable as you are welcomed into the conversations and not left out .Fabulous character fantastic personality and a very good hairdresser.I have been coming to joanna for quite some time now. I have watched her whilst my colour is taking and I can well say that sometimes she is put on but how she handles people is so nice and responds very honestly but in a humorous way which immediately disarms the demanding I'd say quite selfish ones . She takes so much care over everyone of us and I am always very satisfied.joanna naturally has a very good character and is a very caring person and sometimes extremely funny.I like joanna she very kind heart person.I come from Poland and meet her here in street she immediately welcome me to her salon and tell me about her background too of family.She very warm kind heart for sure and make my hair so nice and I smile when she say goodbye in Serbian as same as polish . Thankyou very much too kind person.Joanna became my hairdresser when she had a flat tyre and was going crackers and I stopped and helped her and got a pat on the head whilst doing so and then she flung her arms round me and gave me a big kiss. I got my first haircut free and the rest is history....I go as I love how she does my hair and I like her character but if you think I am after her I can assure you I am not but put it this way she is on my Xmas card list for life xI was nervous of going into this salon but after being given The Telegraph and a gigantic coffee latte and chocolate biscuits and then looking up to see someone so joyful doing her Kate Bush impression....I am no longer nervous. A very good hairdresser and great personality ...sorted that out for me.The lady called Joanna here is arefreshing breath of fresh air in this commercial world. Her service attention and manner is outstanding and is not feigned in any way because it's her nature . My husband Mike and I were very impressed and very much moved how kind she was with our only child's first haircut. Thankyou Joanna for making me feel so safe and comfortable having my first ever haircut. You are really nice.We love joanna because she is funny & kind gives us ribena to drink and massive cookies to eat and let's whinnie and tigger sit on our knees and our mummy says "a miracle has taken place as we are so good" big kiss from us both.My hairdresser at Blacks is such a nice woman because I have seen her transform difficult people into far more reasonable ones with her ways as she treats everyone very nicely and I have always liked her doing my hair and it's a very happy place and you are made extremely welcome and looked after very well.I don't ever leave reviews so here goes....my hairdresser at Black's is not just a very good hairdresser she's also a very thoughtful kind hearted lady....how's that then for a reviewThis salon and the owner are lovely and she is a very good hairdresser indeed.Nothing is too much trouble for her and the most important point I wish to make is that the owner will not do anything you don't need or that wouldn't be right for a customers lifestyle or financially. A very kind character and very natural.There's something different about Blacks.I have been attending here for quite a while and it's like an outing somehow and what the lady who owns it does is make sure everyone is included in the conversation and she takes time and it's very comfortable.We are pleased to review about this extremely nice place. Never known anyone take so much care abut us as people and our hair and the time taken over us both on a Sunday too.Thankyou also for those massive coffees.Always a happy atmosphere and everyone is treated very well...young older low income high income or middle income like me. A very good hairdresser and a very joyful nice person .You made me laugh with that little dance you did on the zebra crossing and I just want you to know I think you handled me very kindly and I realised that I am still welcome . I did say you had a nice way ...a very kind way. Thankyou There isn't many salons where the customers start dancing Zorba the Greek.....so very comical. Its a very happy hairdressing salon which is a very positive and healthy thing for people thesedays.This lady is always joyful and I like her cutting my hair because she is not just interesting herself but is also very interested in her customers welfare tooThankyou to the lady called Joanna who owns this really lovely salon for being so very kind to my mother who suffers with dementia....her patience was absolutely outstanding and to engage in actual conversation as she did was quite astonishing thankyou.Never a dull moment is there....I am laughing as I read . It is very entertaining at times ...Thankyou for looking after Caroline you have immense patience Joanna that's for sure and we are both very fond of you .Alright Joanna I will respect your wishes but I think you are fibbing but I also think you are absolutely lovely honestly I doAlthough this is quite flattering and quite comical ....I think you should know that the person who this is meant for is already spoken for...please do not be offended as you are a truly lovely fun guy but may have misunderstood this persons very natural kind fun loving character as something else...And here's your answer
A VERY BIG "REALLY"
YES I AM My goodness gracious I can't believe what I am reading.....are you for realI could eat you all up.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummmmmyYou like direct people so there we have it don't we now ha!It would mean only one thing ...I'd then be your man....what did you say again...oh!yes I remember again now it was this... "as sure as eggs are eggs!"Now if you were my woman.....Like you....I can also say "as sure as eggs are eggs."That blush gave you away ...that is how I know and dare do this.Will you come and fly with me please ?So I will see you very soon and make you blush again...because I like you even more when you blush.... don't drive too fast ...my engine is bigger than yours as I am the man....you the woman....arrrrhhh! I have had it now....joking!I missed youOh! You are back....missed you Miss CheekyI really like you can you tell ?Boo!xStill thinking about you.XHA! XI am glad you don't do anything "QUICKLY"
If you ever decide to give up hairdressing....you can always join my team.....it was a pleasurable lesson...don't ever change....I like your way.This lady told me why my hair was in such bad condition and has taught me to how to colour my own hair properly as I can't afford to have it done regularly at a salon....Talking biscuits joanna that's a new one but it didn't half work.I admire you joanna.My son and I have been coming to Blacks for a long time.
Joanna is an exceptional hairdresser.
She is very kind, considerate and we always have great, interesting conversations.
A place I would highly recommendNo rushing allowed here but to be honest you don't want to.A rather lovely place a very good hairdresser and so very nice and so very incredibly natural entertaining....I love it here.Came here whilst visiting on Saturday a very nice place and a very good hairdresser.thankyou kind lady.An extremely good hairdresser and a disarmingly comical lady.The lady here is exceptionally magical with children I agree...both my son and daughter are mesmerised by this salon.A very kind caring hairdresser who can make the screaming of kids turn to laughter...well done !A very kind and caring hairdresser.One leaves with a bigger smile that maybe wasn't quite as big when they first entered.A very refreshing place due a very refreshing character owning it....a total breath of fresh air.....fantastic.I have been a customer of Blacks ever since they opened and before when Joanna was mobile, 30 years now. Joanna is a fabulous hairdresser who always gives her best, she is also very truthful about what is right for your hair and you can rely on her advice. Her hospitality is superb too.Don't worry about any false reviews and fake people we all love you and we think you know that by now.Yes I agree !.
