I've been a client of Jax and King for years Jaylin is the leader in hair extensions he is super fast efficient and so fun! His staff is professional and so great. Sam has been doing blow outs for me for the weekend to have fab hair and she is the bomb too. Experience and so much style she really knows hair! If you are looking for a top of the line hair salon look no further and book at Jax. The salon is cool, clean and open 7!days a week. It look be a long time to find someone that has this experience but it was worth the wait. I guess you need to kiss a lot of frogs... Thanks Jaylin for making my hair look fab every time I walk out of your salon xo They really go above and beyond to keep the customer happy and you always walk out happy!
I almost don't want to share my thoughts about J&K... but if you want the best hair ever... go here! You cannot go wrong with choosing J&K - the folks who work here are simply fabulous - super talented and just amazing. You will come out of this salon looking and feeling oober great. I would give them (esp my stylist Phavy) infinity stars!
I enjoyed pampering and "hair therapy" at Jax & King in La Jolla. It's pricey, but I'm worth it. And my fine, fragile hair needs help. Tanya massaged my head when she washed my hair! Ooooh I melted into my glass of white wine. Yes, they offered me a complimentary drink...I chose a glass of white wine. I need a no-fuss hair style. I just get up, comb and go. Tanya listened well and gave me a cut that was appropriate for my hair. She also gave me tips on how to wash my scalp instead of tangling up my hair. (Normally I rip out half my hair during the process of washing, conditioning, and combing.) Tanya's tip worked, along with the shampoo & conditioner that she recommended, which I bought at Jax & King. I bought the Kevin Murphy "Angel Rinse" and "Angel Wash" for my fine hair. Works better than any product I've been able to purchase anywhere else. And it doesn't make my scalp itch. I have a sensitive scalp, and this product is sulfate-free. I loved this place so much that I'd like to return to try something more daring for me...maybe a streak of red or purple in my hair. My little granddaughter says I should try pink! If you have a special occasion, this is a great place for you to make an appointment. I highly recommend it.
I've been on a quest to become an Asian blonde the last few years, and I admit I have gone through a couple of stylists. Finicky? Perhaps, but a gal deserves to have a good hair day nearly every day! Once Jaylin did his magic, I knew I've found a permanent home. Jaylin is a master at his craft, and he stays informed of all the latest, modern trends. My biggest hair goal is to be a blonde without the brassiness and warmth in the color, which often accompany dark, pigmented hair such as mine. I understand that this can't be done overnight -- that it's a journey, but I want to see progress with each salon visit, and Jaylin certainly achieves that. Somehow, he's able to create a natural look with a typically unnatural color for an Asian person! Jaylin's hair cuts are also amazing. I have stick-straight hair, which I used to have to curl if I wanted something less ho-hum. Not anymore: he worked with my hair texture and expertly added layers where needed, so that all I have to do is spray on a texturizing product and off I go! Jax & King is a top-notch salon. I feel like I am visiting close friends every time I go.
If you are on the epic search for a San Diego salon that can perfectly execute a blow-out for natural multi-cultural or African-American hair, please run to Jaylin...your hair will love you for it! Jax & King offers amazing service, professional staff and incredibly knowledgable stylists. Normally I see Rivkah at Maxine's in Chicago, but while back in my hometown on vacation I needed a quick all-natural blow-dry style for a last minute work trip to New York the next day. I was able to squeeze in an appointment before my flight and Jaylin slayed my hair, which is a fete considering my experiences at other salons in San Diego. No guesswork here, just years of perfecting his craft. Thanks to the Jax & King crew I was off to New York with bouncing curls and flowing tresses! Thanks for everything Jaylin! P.S. I had to take an hour-long conference call in the middle of my service and instead of annoyed looks they kept working on my hair, gave me a look that said "You better work girl!" and turned down the music so I could make it happen. This place is the professional woman's dream come true. So kind!
I had my first appointment with Juli today, and she was so amazing! Juli is sweet, very knowledgable and so patient! I came in with hair that had previously attempted ombre that was heavily colored over with dark brown which had turned brassy and red, and split ends for days. It was a lot of work and she did an incredible job, you can tell she loves what she does! She turned my hair into something I never knew I could have, a lovely balayage. She was able to get that terrible brassy red out. I've never been happier! I was also very happy that she taught me some perfect tricks for blow drying my hair and styling. She let me try the styling technique with the curling iron while she stood right beside me and offered corrections, it was SO helpful! The salon is warm, welcoming and very stylish but not trying to hard, it has a great vibe! As soon as I sat down Jaylin came right over and introduced himself, he was a pleasure! I really enjoyed my experience and they really listen to what you want and also make great suggestions. I've never had such a great experience at a salon! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment at Jax & King asap!!
OK so I'm writing another review for a new service I've gotten done by them: extensions. So I've always had long hair and Jaylin has always been amazing about styling it au courant with ombrés and balayages and perfect coloring, particularly when I want my Asian hair completely blond in the summer. Cut to (ha! pun totes intended) when I had my first baby, I had the brilliant idea to cut my hair waist-length hair to my shoulders thinking that'll be easier to take care of with a newborn. Boy, was I wrong. Not only is short hair more work because you actually have to style it, but it also takes FOREVER for the hair to grow out. Mid-length doesn't really serve anyone, really. Jaylin suggested why not vamp up my look (as a pick-me-up since I'm pregnant again and feeling not-so- hot) to slightly longer hair than I used to have with an amazing technique they use on cancer patients and runway models that basically helps growth without damaging or gives sudden length. HELLO I need both! Thank you for giving me my confidence in myself back. Motherhood has made me feel so undone and out of body... Made me remember my inner fire. (ps. my fave extension specialist, Avian, has since left so I've stopped getting them done....)
Jax and King is the best hair salon ever! I started getting my hair cut there about 3 years ago and I have never gone to anyone else. The atmosphere is really nice and the staff are so welcoming, really good therapy-salon vibes. I always stick to the "victoria's secret" cut, soft layers and long hair. I absolutely love all the stylists, and Jay is phenomenal! I got the balayage a couple days ago and I have never been happier with my hair, you'll never walk out of here unsatisfied. Thank you Jax & King for making me feel beautiful!
Looking for the best and willing to pay for it? Then this is the salon for you. After moving to San Diego and enduring a year of lackluster cuts, blah highlights, and humdrum ombrés, I began to scour yelp for a stylist who could bring some wow-factor. After reading up on Yelp (and hearing glowing reviews from my sister-- who, unbeknownst to me, had been Jaylin's client for awhile), I made the great decision of booking an appointment with Jaylin at Jax & King. When I walked in for my first appointment, I had long hair that reached halfway down my back. Jaylin began the appointment with a consultation. He asked about my personal style, what kind of styling I do to my hair on a daily basis, and what amount of upkeep I would want to put into my hair. Then, after asking me the look I wanted, we compared photos to make sure we were on the same page. I walked out of Jax & King that day with a "lob", and I'm not sure I will go back to long hair ever again! And while other haircuts have grown out and become flat, with no movement, Jaylin's cuts have maintained shape and movement even months after I have been to Jax & King. From the first appointment, Jaylin has been an amazing stylist. Every time I go to Jax & King, I know I will walk out with hair that will bring the wow. And every time I go back, it's like meeting up with one of my best friends to catch up on each other's lives. Jaylin and his team definitely make you feel like a member of the Jax & King Family! Jaylin is a hair god. Entrust him with your hair, and I guarantee you will be pleased.
DO NOT go here. I had 6 extensions fall out hours after my hair appointment. Jaylin also highlighted my real hair (something I've been doing for years now) and it was so unbelievably fried, I actually had to go somewhere else to have them cut it off because it felt like straw. Here's where it gets good: I called them EVERYDAY for 3 weeks straight, left voicemails crying, sent numerous emails, and not ONE person called me back. The only time they answered was when I called on a different number and they lied and said Jaylin wasn't there, when I could hear him feeding them lines in the background! To make matters worse, the lady that answered (Megan) heard my situation and advised me to email over my photos of the extensions that clearly fell out, and then she would refund me after receiving them. I emailed them over the following business day and of course, never heard back from anyone. Collectively, I called and emailed another 10 times after that and they weren't answering. To make this story more wild, Jaylin's assistant, Ash, initially quoted me $350 during my consultation and then when they rang me up the bill read $700+. I nearly fainted. They purposely added a bunch of things they claimed I "needed" that I never asked for nor have I ever "needed" in my years of getting the same thing done on my hair. I didn't even know if I should write this review because I'm not the type to do things like this. However, I saw someone had a similar experience recently and thus felt inclined to share my story as well. Jaylin and team: you had the chance to make things right and I'm sad to say this was a nightmare that I hope no one else has to go through. My boyfriend said they must have to pay their rent because that's how much they're charging people. They are super nice up until you pay them. Then it's like you didn't even exist. Save your hair and your money, and go somewhere else.
Antthony is an absolute artist! I completely and totally trust him with my hair. He really listened to the kind of blonde that I wanted to achieve and continues to amaze me every time I see him for my highlights and/or balayage! On top of that, he has an amazing vibe and makes you feel completely comfortable. I won't see anyone else if I'm in need of more blonde!
I found this salon on yelp and decided to give it a go due to its rave reviews, and seemingly high percentage of happy clients. When I had my first consultation with Jaylin, I left feeling confident that we were on the same page and that I had finally found somebody who heard my concerns and was dedicated to getting me to the outcome I had envisioned. When I came back the next morning at 7am to start my transformation from brunette to a cool/baby balayage ombre blonde, we went over my whole hair history, cuts, colors, bad experiences, everything. I told Jaylin that about 7 years ago I box died my hair red (a dark wine/burgundy red) but I also remarked that since then, I've had many, many haircuts and hair dye jobs that have 99.9% most likely eliminated any trace of that color. While Jaylin and I went over my hair history, I expressed my growing frustration that every hair colorist Ive been to over the past year or two (and have subsequently spent over $1000 on) seem to pin their inability to lift my hair past a rusty shade of copper on the fact that, once upon a time, I dyed my hair red. I showed Jaylin my hairspiration picture to which he responded with, "Oh I can do that, no problem!" His enthusiasm was, in that moment, most reassuring. When we began my process, Jaylin and I were the only people in the salon, he explained to me that everybody had the weekend off for a festival and he would be the only one attending to the salon in the meantime, including a receptionist. During my 7 hours in the chair, the phone was ringing, and clients kept walking in for their respective appointments, to which i grew very nervous as to how he would attend to all of us with the same attentiveness, given the amount of money we were spending. At one point, there were 2 of us in foils, myself in the bowl, and Jaylin was trying his best to attend to all of us, as the phone continued to ring. When I was finally pulled from the bowl, Jaylin half dried my hair and again inquired how long ago I died my hair red (which was a huge red flag, no pun intended). After my hair was half dried, Jaylin hastily gave me a mirror and directed me outside to check out my new hair. I was very confused and frustrated because my hair was, again, a copper hue, and after being quoted $300+ (not including tip) I was wondering what I just paid for. His attention? The color service? I asked Jaylin about the shade of blonde and how I was going to get to the shade that we discussed in the picture, to which he replied that I'd just have to schedule another appointment/ service. Never being blonde before, I left with a grain of salt trying to accept that maybe I just needed one more session. My girlfriend ( who is blonde) convinced me to go back to him because he knows my hair history and would probably be able to give me the best chemical attention because he was the most recent stylist to do a process on it. Against my better judgement, I went back and had another consultation with Jaylin about the color of my hair, I showed him my picture again about the blonde I was trying to achieve, and again he quoted me, this time at $160. Luckily, I used his yelp check in coupon and got my glaze for free, therefore bringing my quote down to $120. I decided to go through with the process right then and there. Once it was time to rinse, he handed me off to his assistant, who was very sweet and warm, because another client had walked in. Jaylin's assistant brought me back to the chair and began to comb through/dry my hair. Jaylin then walked over to finish the job and only made two remarks while doing so, he asked his assistant what she put in my hair while I was in the bowl, and then proceeded to ask me exactly how long ago I died my hair red. I knew, once again, my hair was still going to be copper, if this was his immediate response while drying my hair. I left the salon that day, again, very frustrated. I called the salon a couple days later to speak with Jaylin about my frustrations. I asked if Jaylin was at the salon, to which Jaylin actually responded, "No he isn't, may I take a message?" It was so awkward, I realized it was him after I heard him speaking. I responded with my name and that I had some questions about my hair and requested a call back at his earliest convenience. Jaylin didn't bother to take down my number, and simply responded that he would have him call. To this day, now weeks later, I still have yet to hear from him. Although the majority of this salon's reviews are positive, my assumption can only be that this is ok for them.The mentality that "most" of their clients leave happy, is "good enough." I tried to give Jaylin the opportunity to help me solve this dilemma, but it doesn't seem imperative enough. It appears that the only thing that is important is fitting as many clients in as possible, regardless of them getting their value for their money. At this point, I really just want my money back, none of this was really worth it.

Omg, Jaylin is the absolute sweetest, coolest, most talented hair stylist I've ever had done my hair. I'm a brunette with high lights. I told him I wanted to go lighter, more blond.. well he did the most amazing golden blond and still kept some of my light brown low lights. It's 100% up to the base of my hair so I show no regrow, which was always a concern/complaint with my last stylist of 15 years. The gray undertones, ok, all my gray, lol. Has complete coverage, where my last color would fade after the second washing. I was referred by a La Jolla local, beautiful, pro surfer who's color and cut is out of this world. My daughter and I have both switched over to Jaylin and Jaylin, I hope you don't mind your new family members, we'll be with you for a long time! Did, I also mention, Jaylin does many of the Victoria's Secret models! Jaylin, we love you! Wendy read more

Although the majority of this salon's reviews are positive, my assumption can only be that this is ok for them.The mentality that "most" of their clients leave happy, is "good enough." I tried to give Jaylin the opportunity to help me solve this dilemma, but it doesn't seem imperative enough. It appears that the only thing that is important is fitting as many clients in as possible, regardless of them getting their value for their money. At this point, I really just want my money back, none of this was really worth it. read more

I went to see Amy to update my look. I wanted to go more blonde. She started by "smudging" my roots, which lightens them, then did a balayage on the rest of my hair. It takes a long time so make sure you're comfortable. She also did a glaze on my hair that made my hair more icy blonde, since I'm usually more golden. I haven't been this light since I was a little girl! I'm also happy because Amy knows the health of my hair is really important to me, so she doesn't use harsh chemicals when lightening me up (like bleach). They have other methods of lightening my hair without damaging it. I've never been so happy with my hair before! Thanks Amy! read more

I just got my hair done here by Juli! She was amazing and sweet! I went in with box colored hair black and orange and left with a nice chestnut brown/blonde ombré! I love the place! It was cute and simple with lots of cool vintage touches!! Love the environment, atmosphere, and service! Will be going back in a few months for retouch and going lighter. ;) -thanks again, I'm a happy gal! read more

10/10 experience! I had the pleasure of having Tyler dye/style my hair and he was simply the sweetest. We looked at pictures and talked for about 15-20 min before he even started on my hair. I can say for sure that he is not only talented but also pays special attention to the client's best interest. For my hair, I wanted to go lighter and Tyler did just that with this beautiful sombre. Amazing customer service (w/ complementary drinks and snacks for clients & even able to leave to repark my car) -- I definitely will come here again!

So I had to come back and give another review for my favorite team of stylists. The reason why is because not many people know that Jax & King does weddings! Yes, that's right....they styled my wedding. You can imagine how ecstatic I was when I found out. In my mind, there was no other option; it had to be Jax & King. I can't give enough praise to Jaylin, Paul, Phavy and Juli. I had 12 bridesmaids in my party, myself (the bride) and my mother. That's a total of 14 women!! This team of stylists did not even flinch at the number. They were calm, prepared and just super professional. They even went out of their way to pick up pastries, champagne, fruit and a whole spread of goodies for the whole bridal party. That's how special they make you feel. What should be a chaotic and stressful environment was a fun and memorable experience leading up to the big walk down the aisle. I felt so at ease and confident with this team. Everyone's hair was done on time and all looked fabulous. They took great care in making sure it was a cohesive look too; not easy with 14 women! But they were able to accomplish it! I was just thoroughly impressed! What you may not also know is that Jax & King knows makeup artists! Savoeun did my makeup as well as several of the bridesmaid. She really helped to complete the look. If you have a wedding coming up, I highly highly recommend Jax & King. You will not be disappointed! They are amazing! They don't miss a single detail! Love them! read more

This 2nd review is long overdue. It's been about 21/2 years since I first walked into this salon in need of a color correction (Jaylin transformed my "orangey" hair to a beautiful, rich brown). And, I'm happy to say that I am just as thrilled with his work as I was back then. I come in regularly for my haircut and color and leave pleased with both every time. Jaylin is a true master of his trade combining artistry and the utmost precision. Yes, I am impressed that he works with top designers at New York Fashion Week and Milan, but even more impressive for me is what he does to MY hair. I love that he cuts my hair so that I don't need to spend time styling and fussing with it. It's about as wash and go as you can get. And what's great is that people always think that I've spent hours blow-drying it! Love Jaylin and hope he never moves far! read more
