More than just a haircut

by flywheel1984 at Citysearch

Was in Charlotte for a business trip and walked by Emerson Joseph. It reminded me of my usual place in New York City, so I went in to get a haircut. The place was cool, and the service even better. They have nice leather couches, a pool table and a plasma TV in the waiting area. I had a beer and watched football while I waited. The haircut was great and I actually hung out after my haircut to have another beer and catch the end of the game. The staff made me feel welcome and I never felt rushed to leave. You definitely get more than just a haircut at EJ. I'll definitely go back when I return to Charlotte.

• Pros: Cool environment, friendly staff
• Cons: none

Great Haircut, Nice Service, Fun Hangout

One of my friends has been going to Emerson Joseph for almost a year and he kept asking me to check it out. Finally I broke down and got a haircut. I am glad I did. I really liked my stylist. Her name was Brandi and she was fun to talk to, attractive, and she did a great job on my hair (and I am very picky). I also liked the environment. It was very cool but still comfortable. Sportscenter was on the TVs and we shot a game of pool. The card room in the basement was a real trip. We're getting a group of guys from work for a card a night of cards during Monday Night Football...my wife is thrilled there won't be any cigars in our dining room next week. All said, I highly recommend Emerson Joseph.

• Pros: Great haircut, cool environment, fun people, neat surprises (i.e. card room)
• Cons: None

Avoid for haircut

by bobbyboy521 at Citysearch

The haircut I got was so uneven and she forgot to trim around my ears and taper my neckline. Eveyone was nice but sevice was not.

• Pros: Nice people
• Cons: Bad haircut and lots of sales pressure

Great Place to Visit

by mlbo70 at Citysearch

My husband and I came in from Boston for the weekend. I was here on business, and he was here on pleasure. We were walking uptown and passed Emerson Joseph. He decided to treat himself to a little pampering. The staff was very welcoming to both of us. He got a haircut and a manicure. His hair looked better than it ever has, and he was excited to recieve his first manicure. Overall, the place was fantastic. When we come back to Charlotte, he will return to Emerson Joseph. I just wish Boston had one!

Worst Haricut ever.

by tron1234 at Citysearch

Went to EJ for a haircut and that's exactly what I didn't get. The shoe shine, beer, and other stuff was nice, but it doesn't make up for the fact that I now look like Lloyd Christmas. It honestly looks like I attempted to cut my own hair blind folded. With all the other amenities, an average cut would've been adequate for me to return, but it might be the worst ever. A co-worker of mine had a similar experience and he looks borderline ridiculous. EJ is a cool place and has potential but if you get your hair-cut you'll get $5 dollar hair cut in a $50 package.

• Pros: Clean, Friendly Staff
• Cons: Terrible Hair Cut, Extremely Expensive
