Richard Joseph SalonSpa

Located in the heart of English Village, Richard Joseph SalonSpa brings first class pampering to Mountain Brook. Behind its doors is every service that a relaxation enthusiast could want.

“We not only want customers to leave here looking good,” said Jeremy Arthur, business administrator. “We also want them to feel good.”

Their English Village location offers haircuts, hair coloring and hair treatments, as well as body treatments, manicures, pedicures makeup and more. It also has a café that serves breakfast and lunch to customers.

“The café is probably our most distinguishing feature,” said Jennifer West, marketing director. “We’re the only salon and spa in Birmingham that has a café.”

Owner Richard Joseph opened his first salon in in Crestline Village 22 years ago and moved the business to English Village 13 years ago. It started off as a hair salon and grew into a full service salon and spa.

“I opened Richard Joseph SalonSpa to realize my vision of exceeding guest expectations by creating a true SalonSpa experience rather than just receiving a typical haircut or color service,” Joseph said.

In 2009, Richard Joseph SalonSpa partnered with Belk salons and expanded its business into four locations across the Birmingham area. It has also begun using exclusively AVEDA hair care products.

“I love working with AVEDA. They have a huge arsenal of products that can be cocktailed together to fit just about every hair care need,” stylist and Artistic Director Jonathan Fowler said. “Keratin treatments by Coppola that we use have been a game changer for those of us with curl, frizz or unruly texture.”

Each April, SalonSpa hosts the “Every Drop Counts” fundraising event for the Cahaba River Society.

“This was our biggest year to date by far,” West said. “It was really successful.”

The salon considers its relationship with its customers the most important part of the business. Staff members said they want customers to not only feel happy with their experience, but also feel at home.

“Having a true servant’s heart attitude with consistent implementation turned out to be what our guests love most,” Joseph said. “Our SalonSpa team responds by developing long term relationships with our guests both in and out of the salon environment.”
