They are both amazing not only being very skilled and patient, but also listen to what I want and always give me the best results. And I always get compliments from friends about my new hair color and haircut whenever I get my hair done here. So I definitely trust them with my hair out of all the other hair salons in NY and recommend coming here. The place is always busy even on Mondays so plan ahead and come earlier in the day~

I first went to Xcellent in Bayside, then started going to their Astoria location when it opened…read moresince it was closer. Now that they've opened right here in Jackson Heights, I'm only a quick ten-minute walk away! I booked a simple haircut (no wash or blow-dry) for 10 AM, and I kid you not, I was out by 10:10. The cut was perfect, fast, and exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you're short on time but still want a great haircut!

If you want a simple haircut or root touch up, sure. But if you need color correction or if you…read morehave a more complex job, this is not the salon for you. They over promise and under deliver. I went in for a color correction and full set of highlights. The results were appalling. The stylists have no clue what they're doing. This is a photo of the highlights done aka zebra stripes. The solution to this? The stylist, Elizabeth just added dye to cover up the highlights. The end result? Darker hair than I had previously. I could have easily bought a box of hair color and dyed my hair if I wanted this. Went to the owner to find some resolution, he was rude, arrogant and dismissive. Photo of the zebra striped highlights on the right and then the undesired end results on the left. Terrible job, and no compensation for a disgraceful job. I'm embarrassed for them.

Dominique is AMAZING!! After walking out of the previous salon that I had planned to get my haircut…read moreat, I hopped onto Yelp and found Rush Hair Studio to not only be open on Mondays, but that they take walk ins. It was about a 17-minute walk from where I was currently at, so I called to check availability before walking over. Dominique answered the phone and told me she was happy to take me in as soon as I arrived. I communicated what I wanted: to cut off at least 15 inches of hair for me to donate then just have her add layers so that my face would be framed nicely. I explained that I have naturally curly/wavy hair and that I don't want my hair shorter than my shoulders when curly. She listened intently and very clearly understood the assignment. I let her know that I didn't really have an "inspiration photo" for what I wanted my hair to look like, but she told me not to worry and I trusted her. Throughout the entire process, she communicated EVERYTHING to me! She knew I was nervous about having short hair again, so I truly appreciated her transparency with what she planned to do while cutting as it made me feel at ease. The outcome is PHENOMENAL! I LOVE my new haircut (and so does my husband)!!! When I left the salon, she had straightened it out and it looked beautiful. The next day I wore it natural and it looked just as amazing! I'm seriously so happy with how it turned out! Dominique is my new hairstylist moving whether she likes it or not! ;)

Now it's looks like cotton candy single prrocces on top and still messy uneven brassy patches on the both sides ! Instead of partial touch up highlights l asked she insisted on coloring my roots and used very rich wrong shade color on fine already highlighted hair wich gives my hair nasty "antique oxidized bronze statue " hues around my face and because l hate it she adds sloppy " don't give a flying shit " highlights!

I love it here! I got my digital perm done here and I'm very satisfied. The owner, Jina was very…read moreprofessional and attentive throughout the entire process. I have waist length hair, and the whole process took about 3.5 hours, including the treatment, wash, perm, drying, etc. This is a small mom-and-pop salon run by a lovely couple, and they made me feel comfortable from start to finish. They took the time to explain each step and made sure I was happy with the results. My hair turned out exactly how I wanted... wavy and healthy-looking, which save so much of my personal time each day. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a quality digital perm.

I came in for a wash, cut, and blow dry with Isabel after another salon canceled last minute. While…read moreI appreciated being squeezed in, this is clearly a high-volume chop shop -- clients were in and out within 10-15 minutes. I have long hair. The wash was bare minimum (I had to brush it myself), the cut was a rushed straight-across trim, and when a small knot couldn't be removed, that section was simply cut shorter. The blow dry was almost nonexistent and only done after I insisted; it wasn't fully dried and was finished with a flat iron. The entire service took about 20 minutes and cost $90. These prices might make sense in LIC or Manhattan, but the service here isn't remotely comparable. The space is run down, there's no atmosphere, and no real customer service. It felt like a rip-off, and I won't be returning.

I was welcomed warmly by the staff. Started off with the hair wash and it was so relaxing. I could…read morefeel her deep cleaning and then also using different massage techniques on my head and neck to truly relax me. It was such a great added touch. I showed a picture to my stylist of what hair cut I wanted. They stylist AKI was precise the entire time and kept asking me if the length they were cutting was okay which brought me a lot of relief. Ended with a bouncy blowout and a smile on my face. Super affordable too. Don't pass up on this neighborhood staple.

Overall my experience here was fine. I can't say great, I wasn't greeted by the door and had to…read morewait almost 10 minutes to be acknowledged by someone. The wash went really well and the massage felt really nice. However the person who cut and styled my hair was very rough and yanked my hair a lot because his "technique" for blowout was very messy and my hair kept getting tangled. The cut was good nothing crazy, i asked for blowout curls on the ends and showed him pictures, he curled my hair with a wand that also yanked on my hair a lot and he didn't even hairspray it so by the time i got home most of the curls already fell out. ALSO what was a big no no that I didn't notice at first was that they use the same brushes between multiple clients and don't clean them between each use. I saw brushes with blonde hair in them that were being used on the girl next to me with black hair so I know it wasn't clean. The brushes he used on me i couldn't tell if they were already used but after he finished my hair he put the brushes back in his caddy ready to use again. I'm giving 2 stars for service but I will not be going back I do not want to risk getting lice or a bacterial infection.

Recently, I decided to try a curly haircut with Adela (as I've recently started to accept my natural curls). I LOVED how she sat down with me before starting and asked me questions about my hair, routine, preferences, and gave me advice on how to take care of it. She also walked me through her haircut steps and technique as she went along. I love my curly cut! Highly recommend Adela- she's very clearly knowledgeable and experienced with curly haircuts. Also need to highlight how friendly all the staff is. When you walk in, they offer coffee, tea or water. I've always felt attended to and welcomed! The place is immaculate, always perfectly clean and well decorated.
