JB Veltman

I came to JB with messed up highlights and he gradually transformed my hair into the most beautiful it's ever been. He is truly experienced in every way--he listens to you and combines your wants with his expertise to create the healthiest, most gorgeous hair. I can't imagine going anywhere else now. Plus, his assistant Kara is--no lie--THE best scalp massager EVER. We've all gotten our hair shampooed at places where they only care to wash it, but Kara really digs in for a good amount of time, resulting in the best scalp massage you could ever dream of. Basically, you won't regret going to JB. TRUST ME.

Incredible artist! My hair has not looked this good in a long time. JB and his assistant Cara are wonderful. JB is outstanding when it comes to color and color corrections. I would recommend JB for anyone who is tired of mediocre hairstylists and is ready for some seriously spectacular hair!

I have never had better hair in my life. JB is the best! My color is so natural looking, and the cut is just perfect. JB listens to his clients, and is so friendly and attentive to their wants/needs. His experience and talents are just amazing!! He truly is the Grove's best kept secret. Plus his assistant Cara is totally awesome too!! =)

I went to J.B. Veltman looking for a new salon and was pleasantly surprised. I am a very picky customer and J.B. and his staff made me feel at home. My hair needed a different color of highlights and he was very attentive and professional. The highlights he did were very natural and complimentary to my skin color. He also styled my hair and it looked thicker and shinier than ever. Overall his service was excellent.

Pros: service

Cons: none

I recently moved and had to find a new hair stylist. I went to JB because of these reviews. I am VERY VERY picky as to how my hair is treated and done as well as the person who is touching it. So it took some courage to go, however I am so glad I did. JB listens and does what you say about your hair instead of telling you what should, can and can't be done. That alone is hard to find in many stylists. Thanks to JB I have gorgeous colored healthy hair that I am very happy about.

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

I had a great expereince with JB Veltman after getting tired of trying all the "trendy" over priced salons in the area - where I was almost always left with a very average style and unnatual highlights. JB gave great recommendations about how to style my hair. I never felt like he was tkaing advantage of me by pressuring me to do ore to my hair than was necessary. He is honest and it is obvious very good at what he does. My hair color has never looked more natural or as beautiful. For someone looking for quality, I highly recommend JB.

Pros: Quality cut, Natural highlights, Professional

Cons: None

I felt compelled to write a review of my experience with JB Veltman, since I was lucky enough to find him here on CitySearch. My first impression of the salon was Cara, JB’s Assistant. She met me at the door and I immediately liked her. She is adorable, sweet, personable and very attentive. While most salons in Miami make you feel like you’ve walked into a club in South Beach, with tons of affected people attempting to out trend each other. Walking into JB’s, you instantly feel as comfortable and relaxed as if you stopped by a friend’s house. The salon is small and each client receives JB’s undivided attention. I was early for my appointment, so I was introduced to JB as he was blowing out a client’s hair. As I watched JB interact with his client, I quickly realized he was a warm, funny, unassuming and artistic person. I relaxed into the couch, sure I was in good hands. Just as I suspected, my whole experience with JB was an absolute delight! I have naturally dark hair and have been coloring my hair blonde for years. My previous colorists left my hair brassy, damaged and an unnatural blonde. When I walked out of JB’s salon I was left with the prettiest color my hair has ever seen and the assurance from now on my hair is in great hands! Thanks JB! You and Cara are the best! Love, Kim

Pros: Highly Skilled Colorist and Stylist, No Product Pushing, Amazing Results

JB literally saved my hair - or what was left of it! My hair was very damaged from previous highlight jobs that I had received. I was desperate to find a good stylist when I moved to Miami. I was recommended to JB by one of his long tome clients and without a 2nd thought I called and made an appointment. Right when I walked into the salon JB was so welcoming and was genuinely interested in what I had to say about my hair. He asked specific questions about my hair, and really analyzed it to see what would be best to fix the damage that bleach had done to my hair! He told me that it would take about 2 to 3 visits to completely repair my hair - which was FINE with me. After the VERY FIRST visit I could tell a complete transformation - it was SO natural looking and so soft - and of course it got better and better with each visit. He literally saved my hair - and I love it! I have never received so many compliments on the cut and color of my hair!! We had to move from Miami - and I don't know what I am going to do without him. When we moved JB was sweet enough to write down my formula that he was using on my hair - which was so great! I can not thank him enough for what he did for me! I LOVE MY HAIR!!!

Pros: Great service, great salon atmosphere

I have been fortunate to be one of JB's clients for over 5 years now. in that time , JB has not only given me a great haircut every single month(thats a lot of cuts), but in addition , he seems to always have to be able to help me with style questions, tell me what great new book I need to read, and even the right gift for my anniversary( Tiffany).Jb is a professional, very knowledgeable about what he does, and I could not imagine going to anyone else!

I was going through City Search looking for a hair stylist when I came accross JB's tag line. I liked that it said "a hair stylist that listens to you". I knew exactly what I wanted but it wasn't until I met JB and he actually listened and took the time to work with me finding the ideal cut and color for my difficult hair. I left the salon happier than I have ever been after having my hair done. I will be back!
