I was really excited to go to this salon to get my hair dyed and was in the middle of a consultation via text thinking I would be able to make an appointment here after they told me they needed a deposit from me and that they needed to order the hair colour. The problem was that I didn't see this text about the $100 deposit until 3 days later due to my notifications on my phone not going off. I thought when responding to the text that it was alright to continue chatting but that was not the case since I was ghosted/left on read/or blocked since I received zero answers to all my messages. Initially I asked them where to deposit the $100 and got no answer to that as well as everything else I asked. I wondered perhaps if it was vacation time or something but there was nothing at all. I waited a while to hear back. Please amend this, I really wanted to come here to get my hair done as it was my first choice salon to do my hair at but I have other options if the salon does not want my money. Call or text me back. I am the one who wanted to get my hair dyed a dark green. read more

Jay Wong - Hair Stylists Near Me - New York, New York

OH MY GOD! This place by far was the best salon I have ever been to thanks to Jay the man himself. No I am not a close personal friend nor did anyone request this advertisement. I stumbled upon Jay's work just like any other yelp reviewer. Comparing him to others and doing my research like crazy. I have had virgin hair up until last year and like most, I get extremely scared and anxious when it comes to dying my hair. The first time I decided to change my hair color I had asked the hairstylist (another place) if I could get a full balayage. For some reason she only gave me a partial one which ended up in semi-disappointment. I didn't grow to love my hair or get compliments until 5-6 months later... Upon meeting Jay I had showed him three different pictures and told him anything in between is fine, just as long as the colors aren't too crazy and my hair remains long. He was very attentive to details and walked me through everything he did. Throughout the bleaching/hair dye process I did get a bit nervous, just bc the color got extremely platinum blonde and he started laughing. Probably bc he saw how anxious I was getting and the worry on my face. In the end I got a caramel to ashburn to blonde/silverish color and I am immensely satisfied with the result. I paid $160 for haircut and color (excluding tip) and compared to other salons that charge you $300+ that's a freaking steal! My only issue (if you even want to call it that) was that he took in 4-5 other clients while dealing with me so it pushed back my time a bit, but that's understandable since I was going to be there for awhile anyways. I would 100% recommend Jay to all my friends and future yelpers who are reading this right now. Trust the process!! read more

Jay Wong - Excuse the lens flare but look how soft these half waves are! I can't get over how great my hair looks. Super happy!! - Hair Stylists Near Me - New York, New York

last update, people please check the pics and full text. i just post the amount of hair i lost after i wash the first time. this will be the last time i dye my hair. just my honest opinion with jay and the salon he currently work at now. u paid cheaper for a cheaper service. 1. jay said because i dye my hair before and bleach twice today so it's normal that i lost a lot of hair. please check the pics see how it breaks. 2. color was clearly not even. i only did one color like a violet light purple. again please see the picture i attach i haven't even wash my hair yet. 3.the assistant was def not gentle cuz the second bleach was painful not only just cuz the chemical but also she just pulls hair really hard. 4. jay did apologize. 5. the old Chinese lady refused to give me any discount for compensation of the not even color or hair lost because i choose to pay with card. i paid 174.2 include tips. that would be all. you guys can judge the rest. 2018.10.27 i honestly believe it's your job to evaluate it first then just start doing it. we are customers not professionals like you. i woke up this morning realizing there are more breaks which "i" found out then inform "you", then you goes "yeh it's risky i guess... yeh sorry..." i know u try to blow dry and cover it up, basically the whole centered part of my hair are all broken down. it is your job to tell ur customers what exactly is going on, i do understand there are risks, u didn't even talk or mentioned about it before we started. the not even color is totally ur fault. i didn't ask any ombré just one color. u let ur assistant do it so u can go do other people's hair. how does that even make sense? beside that my ears are having allergic reaction. you should at least tell ur lady boss to compensate me with charging me less, instead u just walk away set down scrolling on ur phone again. very not cool when i don't speak ur language and u guys don't speak english or mandarin much during the paying process. i have been very respectful i tipped 20 for you assistant even when she pulled my hair too hard and parts of the blow dryer just fell down on me TWICE during the whole process. 20 dollars is a really good tips for the whole 140 original price, don't even get me stared why eventually ur lady boss charge me 174.2 because of tax and what not. i respect hard working people. i know how hard it is to survive or make a living in nyc. i pay her 20 despite of the unpleasantness because i respect her and i respect elderly workers. again whoever trying to get a hair cut or hair dye there good luck. you guys are on ur own. read more

Long overdue review. Jay was easy going, attentive and will make suggestions as necessary. I had highlights done and it did not disappoint. We went through several options and he made me feel comfortable with my final decision. Pricing was also super reasonable. Will definitely return for a retouch or a cut. read more

Love, love love working with Jay and everyone over there. He's taken my hair from very dark brown to a beautiful ashy blonde! He's so easy to set up an appointment with and the time flies by when I'm there :) I absolutely love the drastic change and really, really love the price. Have sent many people his way, after all of their compliments! Thank you a million times Jay. read more

Jay does a great undercut for men! He knows how to deal with thick Asian hair, knows how to effectively thin it, and is efficient with the time. He is located in a larger hair salon in Chinatown, and has one seat. The hair salon is really loud with all the people talking just FYI. They also highly recommend cash, and made me feel awkward by not paying cash the first time. Now I bring it every time. He's become my main barber! read more

I was really happy with the result and his technique! Plus the price is reasonable! Thank you again Jay! :) read more

I feel bad writing this review because I really like him as a person. He is really nice and so is the rest of the staff. However, I received one of the worst haircuts of my life from him. I should have spoken up that day but I felt bad because he was so nice. read more

Jay has cut my hair for more than 2 years, he is one of the best hair stylist I know for any type of Asian-style haircuts, specially for men! If you need a consultation, definitely go to him and check him out! read more

If you're an Asian male, go to Jay. I have horribly difficult,straight, Asian hair. Jay takes the time to discuss what you're looking for, and most importantly, takes his time to iterate and edit his work. When he feels he's finished, he'll do a wash and blowdry to see how the finished product would look, and then further edits. The mark of a champion. Solid guy, would recommend. read more

Like most females, I tend to place a lot of value and emphasis on my hair. If a stranger came at me with a pair of scissors, he should expect a roundhouse kick to the side. All jokes aside, I have been coming to Jay for around 5 years. There is no one else I trust with my hair. I always bring a photo with me, and he consistently manages to individualize and replicate the image perfectly. Additionally, Jay is not secretive with his skills. He patiently teaches hairstyle-challenged me simple ways on how to curl and style it. Jay is extremely detailed, personable, and a great conversationalist as well - an all-around amazing person. Like the other reviewers have said, I will continue to follow him if he should ever decide to move. read more

Jay is skillful, patient, detail oriented and most importantly he is a stylist that you can trust that delivers a good result. I would highly recommend Jay to everyone I know and whoever is looking for a stylist for a satisfied result. read more

Jay Wong - My new hairstyle of 2017. - Hair Stylists Near Me - New York, New York

I was seeking a stylist for my son, who cannot stand to have his haircut. I asked a friend I trust and she recommended highly Jay. We've never turned around since. We've now been going to Jay for the past two years. Jay is super accommodating regarding schedule requests, flexible on haircut approach for kids, sweet with my child, professional...and gives a great haircut to boot! I appreciate that each time we go, the cut is a different style. He asks if we want something new or different and then once we say do something different, we leave it up to him and are always always happy with the results!! Did I mention that my son LOVES Jay? ...it's hard not to! :) read more

Super happy with my cut! I had a few moments of nervousness but it really came out great. He took off a lot of hair, and gave me a bob, but he did cute messy layers like I had requested. He suggested side swept bangs that look really good. He didn't make me feel weird about my hair or (lack of) daily maintenance. Plus I think it will grow out nicely. He charged me $40 for the cut- then plus tips. Shampoo lady was awesome. read more

I have been a customer of Jay for over 10 years. He always listens to what I want with my hair and he'll always make it happen. He's the best. read more

Great hair cut, if you take a picture jay can give you exactly what you want. He also has a good eye for what you need. Like he knows how to give Bob's that dont Christmas tree up etc. read more

Just came in yesterday without an appointment and jay was able to see me! I was worried because I have very long black hair and wanted to go much blonder. It worked out great I left with sliver/violet color. Which was exactly what I wanted. He explained what he had to do to achieve the violet tone in my hair at every step. The whole process took about 3 hours which normal for how dark my hair is. Definitely recommend going in if you want to change up your hair. It was also very reasonably priced! read more

Jay is the best hair stylist, I always cut my hair and color my hair. He is the best! He can design a hair style for me anytime, and I love it! Thank you jay! read more

Amazing service Got my hair done and couldn't ask for more. I went gray and got a nice trim. My new to go to guy! read more

I've been going to Jay for YEARS and he's the only person I trust with my hair! I have a nontypical Asian hair - totally unruly, curly, thick, and out of control. I used to do Japanese straightening to get it manageable. In the past few years, I've started to shake it up with loose waves and Jay is the only one who finds the best cut that is easy for me to style and gives my hair volume while controlling the frizz! His highlighting skills are also top notch. On top of it all, he's patient and really takes his time when he cuts your hair to make sure everything is perfect. I highly recommend him! read more

Jay's a very talented stylist and very knowledgable about hair. He has been my goto guy for my hair for over five years now, always doing a great job.

I would definitely recommend Jay's to work to anyone - and he will be my stylist for a while. read more

Jay is a family hairstylist and I hired him to do my friend's bridal hair updo for her wedding. He was punctual, patient, and professional throughout the whole session. The outcome was very beautiful and exactly the way she wanted it! He also fixed up us bridesmaids hairstyles very nicely and looked amazing. Will def hire him for future gigs and recommend him to other people. read more

I have been cutting my hair with Jay for over 5 years! Now, that we moved to LA haven't found anybody that cuts like him. He has that "magic touch" and does wonders. Highly recommended! read more

I moved to NYC recently and have been avoiding getting a hair cut for as long as possible. You would think with fine, straight + medium length hair it'd be easy to cut but you'd be surprised at how many bad hair cuts I've gotten even when I just ask for a trim. Jay listens to what you want, and is an amazing stylist. I got there before my appointment and I saw the care that he put into each of his clients' hair, including my own. He is definitely my go-to now! read more

I have been seeing Jay for about 6 years now and I can honestly say that if there is one thing I don't need to worry about, it's how my hair looks. I used to go there with a picture of a hairstyle and he'll copy it exactly. Now, I pretty much just go there and ask him what's best for me, because his suggestions end up being better than the hairstyles I wanted for myself haha...He just knows what's the best style for you! Not only is he talented at what he does, he is very friendly and accommodating. A couple months ago, I failed at removing a hair coloring I done myself (yeah, big mistake there). I messaged him the next day, and he made the time on that same day to eradicate my embarrassing hair. And there were definitely other times where I, including my mom and sister(yes, I referred him to them and they love him too!) made appointments, and he contacts right back to show his availability. He really is great at what he does! And I'm so glad so many think the same way. I can always depend on him with my hairstyle looking awesome every single time. Thank you so much, Jay! read more

I followed Jay from a different salon that the owner closed down and he is great. Been going to him for the last 5 years. You have to trust his sense of balance all the while communicating how you like to style it. of course with anyone, bring pics! read more

Finally found a stylist I will definitely go back to without hesitation. Jay is very professional, gave me the best haircut I've ever had in a long time. Showed him a picture of the style i wanted and he delivered what suits better for my face shape but along with the style I asked. Can't thank him enough for an amazing cut, have been getting nothing but compliments! can't go wrong with the price either ($27) for a haircut. Look for Jay if you are sick of the stylists that only knows how to cut one style. read more
