    I have been searching for someone to rescue my boring hair cut and highlight for quite some time. I was super excited to find Peter and Gary who are the best kept secret in Ann Arbor. It is really nice to have finally found a salon that makes me feel like my hair is actually looking good!

  2. This is the best “hair” summer I have ever had. I have thick, unruly, super-curly hair that is easily damaged and have been fighting with it my entire life–until this past spring. I had the full Brazilian Keratin Smoothing Treatment in April and my hair is so much easier to control. When I wear it curly, it is really shiny and the curls form into nice ringlets. When I wear it straight, it stays that way until the next shampoo–even with the hot, humid summer we have had (can stand up to a few sprinkles without frizzing, too). Thank you, Gary and Peter, for helping me look and feel my best!!

    Recently had Gary do a Brazilian Keratin Smoothing Treatment on my hair that lasts 4 weeks! My hair tends to get frizzy and big with the humidity in the summer! Wow, what a difference this made with my hair. It takes about half the time to blow dry my hair now! My hair feels silky smooth , conditioned and very shiny now. I highly recommend this treatment, if you have curly, textured, or frizzy hair. It cost only $50 dollars, well worth it ! Thanks Gary. Plan to do it every 4 weeks in the summer.

  4. I had the keratin treatment a peter’s salon recently. It’s so worth doing. I have always had trouble blowing out my hairstyle out as smooth as they do. I can get that finish now plus a super softness to my hair. It takes less time to blowout now too.I can even get that soft flowing curl. It’s amazing that all keep saying to everyone.

  5. Love Peter and the gang! I have very THICK hair and Peter works miracles with it! Price is very competitive and well worth my drive 45 miles!

    Peter and Gary at A Peter James Salon are amazing! They know just what you need to look your best. Peters’ skills with scissors are unmatched! I get bored easily with my hair style and color and they both always rise to the challenge of giving me something new and exciting. Give them a try, I promise you’ll never go back to your former stylist.

    I love Peter’s haircut so much that I purposefully travel from Texas just to have it done! In fact, I’ll probably wait to have it cut this fall until I can come back for a visit. Peter is so talented and gives me the haircut I want every time. He listens to me and sees my vision perfectly! Sincerely the best haircut I’ve had in years! That’s why he’s worth a 1500+ mile trip!

    I have been seeing Peter at A Peter James Salon for the last 5 years! He does an awesome job on my very curly hair…what I like is that he cuts it dry first then washes and cuts some dry….He does a phenomenal job on curly hair. Recently I decided to color my hair(getting some gray hair). Gary did an all over color, but used shades, which did not make my hair look overall a different darker shade…and it gave my hair so much shine. Loved it! Might try some highlights next time…Peter says he does a brilliant job with highlighting!!

    I just started coming to A Peter James Salon, and Peter did an awesome job on my haircut. The salon is very unique inside, atmosphere is very upbeat and different. You feel like you walked in to a top salon in New York or something. Will definitely recommend to a my friends at the U of M Business School.

    Peter has cut my boyfriends hair for years now, and I have just started to go to him myself. Peter and his staff are great with hair! My boyfriend always looks great! I LOVE the last style Peter gave me, and have had numerous compliments on my hair since. I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for a great haircut that makes you feel like a celebrity!

  11. Chessi

    I have super thick hair and have been “searching” for years for the right person that could thin it out without it looking RAZORED TO DEATH! Peter came highly recommended. I tried him out and I have been sooooo pleased! The staff is very friendly as well!

  12. Connie

    Peter does a fantastic job. I have naturally curly hair, which is hard to find someone to cut. Peter understands how to cut curly hair. I highly recommend him.

  13. Rita

    Peter and his staff do a fantastic job! They are always ready when I walk in the door, no overbooking. I do not feel rushed and best of all my cut is always precise and grows out well. I highly recommend this salon.

    Without a doubt, A Peter James Salon gets a gold star in my book! I knew you were good, but recently you earned high praise from someone who doesn’t give praise often! When my mother-in-law, who was visiting from out of town, wanted to get her hair “trimmed,” she asked me to make her an appointment to “whoever I go to.” I signed her up for a cut with Peter and WOW…it was great! She came home raving about him! She commented on how friendly he is, and how knowledgable too. She followed his advice to cut a bit of a different look and loves it! When she comes back to visit in a few weeks she wants to visit Gary for color! Yippee! Gold star for A Peter James Salon because I finally earn a gold star as the daughter-in-law! Thanks!

    Well, I won a visit to Peter’s Salon at an auction. I figured I would go once since it was so far from my house (45 minutes). I am still there 3 years later.

    Once you get used to Peter’s dry humor, you figure out he really knows what he is doing…. and he listens to what you want…. and explains why it is or isn’t possible….. and actually does what you want….. (like in my case staying AWAY from big hair which is already a problem for me and no one else ever listened.)…. and he is actually a skilled professional who knows what he is doing….. sigh…. so I guess I am going to make the drive…. It is definitely worth it!!!

    And, Gary, wow, what a gem he is, too. Totally gets my nervousness about doing BIG hair color changes and moves at a pace that pushes my limits, while still not freaking me out!!! :-) And he is GOOD!!

    And dear Dawn….. how knowedgeable you are about customers and helping them feel comfortable and cared for….. as the first person we talk to, that is no small thing!! And Happy Birthday yesterday, right?? :-)

    Peter has been cutting my hair for 9 years and I would not go to anyone else. He is great. He uses different styles and is very creative. An hour with Peter is fun, therapeutic and is tiime I look forward to.

  17. Marcy

    WOW!I knew Peter when he was just starting and he always had hip and savvy styles. I am SO glad he has opened his own salon so other people could experience the talent firsthand. He is filled with charisma, love and kindness and has a keen sense for the way a salon needs to be alive with energy and have a good vibe.
    I am SO excited and can’t wait for march to come because I am booking my appointment today:)
    Thanks Peter!So proud of you!

  18. I came in last Thursday to get my hair colored and cut for my high school upcoming Winter Carnival dance this past Saturday at Chelsea High School. Gary colored my hair darker then my natural color, but did darker underneath and a little bit lighter on top!!! It looked totally cool, my boyfriend loved it. Peter is so good at cutting my hair. He added more layers and gave me some really cute bangs. All my friends want to come to his salon to get there hair done for Prom. I am definately going to get my hair done there for Prom! Thank you Gary and Peter, I love it.

    Thanks Alexis Romelhardt

  19. Rita

    Peter’s talent is incredible. He continues to work with my hair so my cut evolves to something a bit different each time and I just love it!

    If you are looking for a salon where you can feel confident that you will leave with an exception cut, you have just found it.

  20. Chris Kerry

    Peter has been cutting my hair for a couple of years, with GREAT results. He encouraged me to try Anna which I did for my last haircut, and I’m getting even MORE compliments on my hair. Try this great salon!

  21. Trisha Matelski

    The atmosphere at this salon is wonderful and inviting; it doesn’t feel like pure “business” like many other salons. I have tried out various salons/hairstylists and have decided to stick with this salon because of the personal touch and the way each person is dedicated to a specific area- for example Peter only cuts hair and Rhoni only deals with the coloring- I think that shows dedication to quality! I have been nothing but pleased with every time I have gone there and would definitely recommend it to others.

  22. Stacy

    Personal touches makes this an even better salon than just getting your hair done. If Dawn doesn’t call to remind you of your appointment, then Peter takes the time to personally call you. What a wonderful personal touch that is! Makes me know they really care about their clients and you’re not just another appointment.

  23. Coffee brought Peter and I together and his talent and sage business advice will forever keep us connected.

    The staff, the studio and the whole vibe is great!

    Thanks Peter – for everything!

  24. Marilyn G.

    Peter is the best hairstylist I have ever used. My hair is very thick and coarse. Peter is the only one who can style my hair without cutting short or overusing the thinning shears. Anna has also done my hair, and since she was trained by Peter , the result was great. The staff here aims to please.

  25. Chris Kerry

    All the staff at Peter James Salon have exceeded my expectations of what constitutes a great salon. Try them….you’ll be pleased, too!

  26. Finally! A salon that is comparable to the one I’m accustomed to in Atlanta! Peter gave me the most incredible cut/style and Ronnie is excellent in highlighting. She picks the greatest shades that not only suit you, but goes with the season as well. I highly recommend them!

  27. Marilyn

    What a find!! I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to find a salon that could color my hairpiece and my own hair so the effect is seamless. Between the cut and the color done here, you can’t miss!!

  28. Dennis

    Peter was my facilitator for the Redken Specialist Connection Certification, where he shared his wealth of knowlege, passion for the industry, impecible craft, and inspired us with his contagouosly possitive energy. I have no doubt that he offers his clients the same patience, compassion, and commitment to exelence as he has extended to us. Weather you are searching for a new stylist, or looking to further your career though continued education, rest assured, Peter Bokanoski is a world class artist who has both left his mark on our industry, and my personal career.

  29. Stacy

    This salon is great- Peter and Rhoni are friendly, fun to talk to, and very professional. I’ve never felt “rushed out of the seat” here, which seems to be all to common at other salons. Peter and Rhoni both take their time to really understand and deliver the look you are going for. You can’t go wrong here!!!

  30. After salon hopping for years, I have finally found a home at A Peter James Salon. The entire staff is talented, professional, and friendly. I have always left happy with both my haircut and color. I would recommend this salon to all!

  31. Peter has been cutting my hair for at least 5 years. I am now over 70, and he is a magician, camouflaging the places where there is less than before. I’ve trusted him with different styles and he never disapoints. Ronnie is an artist with color. If what I’ve said appeals, check them out. The salon is a slice of NYC in the midst of the midwest, and as a former New Yorker, I love going there.

    I get compliments all the time on my hair style: Peter is a genius! My hair color is great…it looks totally natural but better than nature gave me, all due to Rhoni.
