    Customer service: 5 Wait time: 5 Price: 5 Outcome: 5 Location: 5 Ambience: 5 Total: 5 How often does an establishment get a perfect 5? I enjoyed my time at this salon. Very clean, professional, and affordable. The salon has a modern look and is very spacious. It's right on the corner of a major road, so you can't miss it. Mea worked on my hair. She recommended what hair treatment I should get, gave the best head message of my life, and made great conversation. In short I loved the outcome of my hair.

    You ever go into a salon & you feel the shade and cattiness? not at JAKARI J girl! They made me feel so comfortable and confident! All the other stylists were funny, and biggiing me up i felt like their friend. Their silk presses are afordable and theyre very knowlegable and caring on Natural hair. Summer!! Summer is the best she used peppermint shampoo and massaged my scalp so good i was born again. She was so sweet ! The jamaican sister with the short curly fro too! She does color and weaves and she made me feel like that BITCH they accept all forms of payment and always have walk in availabilities on their IG JakariJSalon

    A year later and I am still a patron of Jakari J salon. Since my first visit, I have been nothing but pleased. Shanel (the owner and master stylist) continues to style my hair most of the time however, I have used the other stylists and they are just as great. Since my first cut, I have also had a weave done by Shanel that lasted for quite sometime. She is versatile and amazing at her craft. Before coming to Jakari J, I was almost ashamed to wear my natural hair without any sort of weave or extensions. I felt ugly and less confident when wearing my natural hair, no matter if it were permed or hot combed. However, Shanel brought life to my hair. She puts a lot of pride and effort into your service to make you look and feel magnificent. And even on days when I thought I could go a month and a half without perming my hair and expect her to cut it the same way after I JUST washed it (I know I needed a wake up call), she still came up with a fix that was laidddddddddd for an event I had to attend. I love my hair now! It's healthy and continues to show growth with every appointment I attend. The staff are awesome, very personable, friendly and professional. Although I've moved quite far from the salon within the past year, I still come back because I have not found another salon that compares to the service, care, and quality I receive here. Still, highly recommended!

    Ignore how tired I look but this was an amazing experience especially since this was the first time I visited with a last-minute appointment. I needed a natural hair salon in Queens because I had bad heat damage and bleach damage. Tammi was very efficient (no waiting even on a holiday weekend), very personable, and knew how to bring my hair back to life. It was pouring yesterday and my hair still looks fresh in the photos (my curls just dropped). I will definitely be coming back when I visit home.

    Being a guy who typically get Cesars, this was my very first time at a Salon for myself and I couldn't have had a better experience. The beautiful people who work here keep a smile on your face and the background music reasets the tone and really keeps you engaged while your waiting for your hair to be done. I had the pleasure of being helped by Mea. She was very attentive and extremely charming. I showed her an image of cornroll inspiration and she excited it better than I anticipated. I will definitely be recommending friEnds and family - and of course I will be back for more braiding and poorer totally doing color as well since they have such a talented group of stylists here. - Travis V

    I had to update my review when I saw the negative posts about my stylist. Akelia has been my stylist for over four years. She has done various styles for me: weaves, braids, ponytails, silk press, rod sets, etc. She is a master stylist. I trust her with my hair more than I trust myself. If she ever leaves Jakari J, then I leave Jakari J. I cannot speak about Akelia's professionalism because she has become a friend to me, so we speak freely with each other. However, as a professional, I understand the various expectations a customer might have when they patronize a business - especially for the price of Jakari J's services. If Akelia does not consistently meet the minimum professional business standard then she should improve. Nonetheless, I stand by her talent, her skills and the quality of her work.

    @shanelthehairstylist same cut styled differently- Shanel is creatively dope! #pixie love

    This review is long overdue! The service, quality, punctuality of talent, and ambiance of is beyond exceptional. From the attention to detail, the diverse services and skill level of each stylist - Jakari J Salon is truly in a league of its own. I am a regular client, that visits weekly- I am well cared for beyond measure. I LOOOVE my stylist Shanel (IG @shanelthehairstylist). Shanel is a dope stylist; she is honest, kind, and patient. Not only in her salon is she a savvy fearless business woman that is always educating her team/ clients but her community she actively serves as a true leader. The attention to detail, the product and hair care knowledge that Shanel as well as her team imparts is truly invaluable. Words truly can not express my gratitude and deep love for this team. If you are in a need of a trusted stylist, I strongly without reservation recommend Jakari J salon- there is a stylist there to suit all your hair care needs. All the stylist hold their own in skill, talent, and personality: Raquel (IG @roxiirock_hair) will turn out your color to perfection Taylor ( IG@taylorddd._) will expertly craft your braids Hesay (IG@hesayshesay) will coil curl and/or silk press your hair to goddess level Shanel (IG@shanelthehairstylist) will expertly precisely cut and healthiful nurture your tresses into unbelievable beauty MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY!!! What are you waiting for?!

    I will follow Akelia to literally anywhere she goes. I'm very very self conscious and sensitive about my natural hair condition she always makes me feel comfortable and eases my anxiety. She has been my stylist for almost 3 years now and I have never received more compliments on my hair since her. I work on-camera for film and tv and the hair department constantly asked who does my hair. I wear a full closure weave and they are always shocked how natural it looks and how long her work last. She always makes sure her clients leave looking like a million bucks no wonder whys she's constantly booked up.

    The front of my hair is straight.

    The 1st time I came to the salon, I went to get a silk press, wash and trim. I had a 9:30 appointment and I didn't walk out until 1:30 p.m. The 2nd time the I went there I want to get a ponytail. It took the stylist 3 hours to wash my hair, flat iron it, and give me a ponytail. The third time I went there I want to get a bun. I had a 10:15 appointment that I was early for an I didn't end up walking out to almost 3:00 p.m. A week later I took down the bun only to realize that my hair had significant heat damage. Staff is very friendly and very apologetic which they have to be because they know that they're overbooked and clients have to wait a very long time period. Besides the wait time, I didn't really have problem with the salon until my hair could not revert back to its curly texture because of this heat damage.

    I have been going to this salon for almost two years now. My hair has undergone a major transformation thanks to my stylist Issay. When I talk about growing hands....!!! Not too mention the body and bounce from my silk press every single time! In addition to being a bomb stylist, I just want to add that Issay has the biggest heart ever and really cares about making clients feel beautiful inside and out. So glad I found this gem.

    Ask the Community - Jakari J Salon

    Hey I'm a guy with 3C hair looking to get Cornrows with added hair for length. Who should I see to get this done? I'm thinking Omarion 2019 braids/bun combo.

    I believe Taylor or Tymea might be the best people but you should call and setup a consult first.

    Does any worker knows how to do dreads and if so how much is it?

    Yes, there is a stylist that can dread or maintain dreaded hair- call salon for consultation and pricing.

    I'm interested in getting box braids. Who do you suppose is the stylist at this salon who can best do that?

Unfortunately, Sunny, the technician, not only struggled with the shape but also had a poor attitude when I pointed out the mistakes. She cut my nails too short and denied it, despite them being half their original length. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, Sunny was defensive and unprofessional. The owner eventually took over and was even more unprofessional, raising her voice and telling me not to return if Hannah wasn't there. She then charged me for a full set of tips that I never received. I did a fill-in. When I asked why she overcharged me, she said that a fill-in and a new set of tips cost the same, which is a lie. She was nasty and derogatory with her words and started yelling at me when I tried to explain to her what I wanted. I also recorded everything they said in their language, and when translated, I realized the nasty things that they were saying. This is by far the worst nail spa I've ever been to on Long Island. I will NEVER go back. I've heard way too many people complain about how rude they are and the horrible work that they do. Overall, this was a frustrating and unpleasant experience.
