I travel from NJ for Jay's work. My wife and I think he is the best around here. Give him a chance, because I am glad I did that. It's been more than 3+ years and I am keep coming back. read more

Jay does a great job on men's hair. No complaints and highly recommended.

Got a short haircut from jay. My friend recommended him to me and I was happy she did. He gave me exactly what I wanted and was very detail oriented. He gave me advice and tips on my hair to fit my face and color too. A lot of info which I appreciate. I would come again for my next haircut! My hair turned out really nice I love it. Thank you~ read more

Jay is great with my 9 yr old. My 9 year old ask me to give Jay 10 stars because he was so gentle and patience with him.

This place is awesome. I went here after having an experience of my nightmare elsewhere. I didn't tell Jay anything but he welcomed us and took care of my girls right away. He gave them the haircut they need despite them being the fidgetiest kids ever!! I really appreciated he went all the way. Usually for kids haircuts, hair stylist cut and brush off. But he actually combed their hair, styled it and used hairspray!! I was thinking damn I wouldn't have wasted it on them I also got my hair done and it was amazing. Jay knows so much and is so straightforwardly honest. I've been dreaming of getting a balayage done but he straight up said no don't waste your money because of xyz reason. I've been to other salons who encouraged I get it!! I appreciated it so much he was honest!! read more

Magic Iron - Hair Salons Near Me - Flushing, New York

My bf recently moved to the area so i opped for a near by, decent review salon on yelp for a last min appointment. Magic Iron met everything i was looking for and was able to fit me in for a cut and dye. I had been dying my hair with box dye for the past year, which resulted me in having very uneven colors. I completely gave up on my hair and decided to let my roots grow out, needless to say my hair was a mess of black, orange, bronze and blonde. I originally had just went in going for a wash and cut. I felt i might not be able to get an even dye job off my already pretty patchy hair, but Jay reassured me that it can be done. I showed him a few pictures of what style cut and color i would like and he understood and got right to it. Her explained that the whole procedure would take about 3 hours and cost $250, which i find reasonable if he can give me what im looking for. We started with bleaching my hair so everything would be more even and lighter for the new color to cover. After we rinsed, then moved on to applying the color. After the color was done we moved on to the cut. The whole process was swift and efficient, didn't feel like 3 hours. The salon was beautiful, very unique design and vibe. Kinda wish i took some selfies there before i left. Jay was very friendly and professional, he gave me my space when i needed and chatted when i decided to converse. I was very pleased with the result and have already gotten alot of compliments! I highly recommend everyone looking for a new hair stylist to come here and try Jay. read more

Nothing like being pampered. Jay takes his time and very detailed oriented. The place is new and fresh. Clean!!!!! I follow jay to the end of the earth!!! Highlights cuts everything. He does everything. One stop shopping. No one touches my mop of hair land it comes out smooth silky styled. I have lots and very thick Asian hair long too. So I know it's hard to do! Oh and such a bonus parking is a breeze here. Close to bus stops. And you can go to HMart later to get some yummy grocery. I know this post will hinder his availability to me for an appointment. But dude is totally worth it!! read more

Magic Iron - Hmmm very zen when I get my hair washed - Hair Salons Near Me - Flushing, New York

I love Jay! He always makes me feel like the prettiest person ever (HEHE). I came last week and he managed to clean up the mess I made of my hair in quarantine, which was not an easy thing. I also like the conversations I have with him and he gives great advice. I've been to several salons in the area over the years but I think Jay is definitely the best. He really listens to you and makes sure you leave happy. Definitely go to him if you need someone to also clean up your DIY haircut/style during quarantine. He can handle it read more

Highly recommend if you have been suffering from uncontrollable hair and need a solution! Jay is amazing and he is an expert in this. He asks many questions and discussed my end expectation before he starts. The result is amazing!!! My hair looks so natural and its really effortless and easy to take care every morning. This is like a dream come true!!! I do agree with what people say below about Jay's action towards the process. He's working by himself and seems very busy multitasking (my hair took almost 4 hours so I know LOL). But he did what he had to do and finished with a great result! The price is decent, not too expensive but not too cheap. read more

I've only come for keratin treatments so far but Jay is very very good at what he does! He will give you individual attention because he's the only one in the salon working. My boyfriend comes here for his haircuts and he likes how he looks as well! Jay is very kind and will be honest with you about your hair. read more

I've been getting my haircut from Jay for almost 7 years now, since his last location. One of the most important thing a woman can have, is a great hairstylist! I don't even have to show him a picture, and he never disappoints. read more

I really don't believe all these 5 stars here. I started coming here when he recently opened and also sent Few friends here. I stop coming after a horrible male haircut and rude attitude. Jay can be good but the service is irregular. Maybe hes way too sensitive or emotional? On my Last visit, he was not only rude ignoring my questions but also gave a terrible haircut to my friend. After I seen my friend's haircut, I quickly changed my mind to do mine. What a embarrassment after I strongly recommend my friend to try this this hair salon. I loved his passion and attitude for hair in the beginning and that was a reason why I was coming for him. I didn't see that at all last time I came. Such a disappointment after I thought I found a great hairdresser whom I can also recommend to friends. read more

I went there because of 5 stars rating @Yelp. My experience was horrible (In order to give a fair review I waited 2 weeks.) Every time I looked at mirror and thought about all the signs I saw and I should take them seriously. Sign 1: Only one man show: he left me to sit there for about 30 minutes with solution partially cover my hair (Serious! I never had anyone who leave me in the middle of process. No wonder my hair looks inconsistent.) Sign 2: No strand test, because every one has different hair, so this test helps to determine how long the solution need to sit in your hair. Sign 3: When I noticed that he applied solution only halfway through my hair which didn't cover my newly grown hair, I told him, but he said "I know. Don't worry." (Yes. now I got it. DON'T WORRY. I NEVER COME BACK AGAIN.) Sign 4: water was freezing cold every time he washed my hair and hair solutions all over the place, my face and my sleeves. IN CONCLUSION, IF U LOVE YOUR HAIR, PLS THINK TWICE B4 U COME. read more

Update: it's now $50 for a woman's hair cut , even if it's just a trim. Just a bit much considering it's Queens.

Jay is the best I've been coming here for a little over a year now, great hidden gem, but it's so worth it to travel all the way from Westchester to Bayside. Great hair salon for Men. Very clean, has a nice rustic look. Parking is excellent You can pay cash or credit read more

Jay has been my hair stylist for a few years and he opened a new one and i didn't know! So when I found it, i ran to the salon obviously. And he did an amazing job as usual. Please people, do yourself a favor. Go to magic iron and ask Jay what you want. I'm sure he'll do better than what you originally want. definitely coming back soon for haircut and coloring! read more

Magic Iron - The haircut I got from Jay. - Hair Salons Near Me - Flushing, New York

Jay pays attention to detail which is hard to find in a stylist. Salon is clean and has a relaxed vibe. Will definitely go back for future blowouts! read more

Went to Jay for a keratin treatment combined with Japanese straightening a couple of weeks ago. I was recommended to him from a few people I knew so I really wanted to try him out since I've always longed for straight hair. He is AMAZING. Not only are his prices super affordable in comparison to other places (I did some research), he really knows his stuff. He charged me $250 for keratin and $150 for the Japanese since I primarily did Keratin because my hair has been dyed. He gave me his honest opinion about which treatment I should do in order to achieve my desired look. He was extremely professional and has a great personality. I'm in love with the way my hair looks and feels now and will be returning! Thank you!! read more

Magic Iron - My hair right after the treatment - Hair Salons Near Me - Flushing, New York

Jay clearly knows what he is doing, and thanks to that, I have a haircut that everybody complemented. It is him who showed me how important a haircut can be when I first asked him for a new style suggestion. I would highly recommend (especially if you're male) anyone to visit and let him do his magic. read more

Owner very rude, no welcome or greeting, especially to a non asian, just a bark or what do you want, wow, way to earn business. I came to the salon and it was empty.. he refused to take me, saying he was closing, then when I questioned this.. he changed his story to state he had an appointment, so he lied. Just treat customers with respect and perhaps you will have someone fill those empty seats, be nice to people and not snap or be rude..? especially your local customers. Treat all people with respect not just your own - simple. read more

Since my first review, i've been going here for over a year now. Highly recommend. I especially like how he blows dry/styles women's hair. It's volumized and stylish. read more

I have gotten a haircut here the past couple of times. I am really impressed with how Jay would pay attention to details and always ask for my feedbacks to ensure the haircut is exactly what I wanted. Easy to make an appointment and plenty of street parking is a plus as well. read more

I love this salon. I had the Japanese Magic Straightening and Keratin Treatment done to my hair this past Saturday and it came out beautifully. It is now Tuesday evening and I washed my hair and it is still straight, silky and shiny. Jay is excellent and highly skilled, he is also very honest, takes his time with your hair and a great conversationalist. My hair went from a dry, damaged, curly, frizzy mess to straight, shiny healthy, smooth and manageable. The salon is clean, comfortable and has a nice atmosphere and the high quality services are reasonably priced. After many years of disappointment with many different salons, I have finally found a place that does a great job with my difficult hair. I highly recommend Magic Iron. read more

Today I went to Jay at Magic Iron for keratin hair straightening. I gave my jacket up for a nice robe which had an Asian flair - a nice touch! My hair was washed and I was informed that hair could not have any residue as the keratin treatment will not be effective. Jay proceeded to put a protective shield around my toweled shoulders and went to work spreading keratin on my strands. My hair was then blow-dried and then Jay went to work with his "magic iron". This is the most time-consuming part of the process. Jay carefully proceeded with each section and is clearly a pro. In the end it was a beautiful job! My curly hair is now smooth and manageable! I will certainly return in the future! Thank you Jay! read more

Wow, super friendly and super nice guy! Very knowledgeable in Hair and products. My hair is very long and gets very tangled when wet but he was so good that I didn't feel a thing! He gave me good advice on how to detangle and was really good at helping me decide how to layer my hair. Price was great! Will come again!! read more

I came across this salon after seeing a friend's facebook check in and decided to come here to get magic straight (which I get every summer). So despite my hair being a handful to work with (it being super damaged and wavy), Jay did an awesome job. I am really content with the service, price, and results. Location is perfect for parking as well. This place is fairly new still so it is a one-person business. He sees one customer at a time, therefore the service is extremely accommodating. I highly recommend this salon and will be coming back! read more

My husband has been getting his haircut from Jay for years. He is friendly not to mention has a great skill. He always listen carefully to any specific requests and good at remembering them for following visits. Recently I've been taking my son, 18mo, to him too. Jay is quick to hold my son in a chair with me to finish cut. read more

Can't find a better hair stylist. Jae is an expert and has a great eye for style. He gives the best recommendations and offers high quality service. Hurry up and book an appointment with Jae. read more

Jay is awesome very friendly and extremely talented. Interior is very nice unlike any other salons. The minute you walk in, it has a nice scent; nothing like other salons where it smells like strong hair chemicals. My advice is to make an appointment instead of walking in. Jay takes his time no rush on his customers and makes you feel very comfortable. This salon is the most cleanest friendliest salon I've ever been to. Highly recommended. read more

Magic Iron - Hair Salons Near Me - Flushing, New York

Very skilled stylist and friendly guy. Knew exactly what I wanted and did a great job.

After searching for two years I have finally found MY salon and keratin stylist! Yes Jay it's you! I waited 3 days to shampoo even though I didn't have to and I am so very very happy with what you have done with my hair! Thank you so much! My hair is silky, straight and it didn't fall out or break off when I was drying it! You are such a sweet and talented man...Thank you, thank you, thank you. You Jay are my new go to person for my hair. Even my hair color is perfect and you are the only stylist that hasn't over dried it. Perfection and magic is what I got from you! I can't wait to see what your sister will do with my hair as my son's wedding approaches... read more

Cool interior, service was great, Jay's suggestion was really helpful when it comes to change my hair style, color. Price is very reasonable too. Definitely going back again! read more

Magic Iron - Straighten hair on the way. Before (L) and after (R) - Hair Salons Near Me - Flushing, New York

Great haircut and pre-cut wash. The place is new and clean. Very detail oriented will come again.

Highly recommend!! Jay is a super professional and sincere stylist who you can absolutely rely on. He always pays attention on your opinion and gets your styles as you want! Very honest stylist! Never overcharge you or provide unnecessary treatment! You would feel appreciated each time you get your hair done by him. Definitely he is one of the best stylists since I have been in NYC over 10yrs. I do not mind going to his salon at all even I have to travel more than 1 hour. read more

Great haircut spot for guys as well. Been to a ton of hair salons that advertise that they're unisex only to leave unsatisfied but the guy at magic iron (never asked his name) who seems to do everything at the place and does it well always delivers. Been here a couple times and it's always been a good decision. Not only does he cut your hair exactly as you want it to be cut (looking at the other hair salons that feel as if they need to explore their creative liberties when they have you in their chair) he also gives you advice and tells you what to expect after the haircut. Price is decent as well - 20 dollars for a men's haircut is a pretty good deal as the other salons charged 30. I've already recommended friends to go here and would expect them to say the same. read more

My hair is naturally very wavy with alot of frizz especially in the summer. I decided to get the keratin treatment with Jay. This is my first time receiving keratin. I am SO thrilled with how my hair looks. I literally wash my hair and GO and it looks amazing as if I just got a blow out/straightened it. I don't need to put ANY product in it or any heat on it. I am impressed and I've gotten a ton of compliments. Jay is also so patient and answered all of my questions. Super nice guy. I highly recommend :) read more

I've been fighting to straighten my frizzy thin flyaway hair for years with the hair dryer followed by the flat iron . I also color my hair frequently due to the incoming grays so I'm sure you can imagine the damage to my hair . Even with a good blow-out my hair was struggling to stay straight and frizz free and was looking rather unhealthy . A friend of mine recommended keratin treatment so I began the search for a reputable salon to do the job . I came across great yelp reviews for Magic Iron and was happy to discover it was close to me . Jay was very honest as to what he could and could not do with my hair and was very knowledgable and professional . I have to say I really didn't believe anything could truly help my hair but I was wrong !! Jay did a great job applying the keratin treatment and now my hair is totally different . I can actually wash my hair without dreading the tedious blow dry process and flat iron . I can dry my hair and finger comb it for about 10 minutes with the hair dryer and like magic my hair is straight and smooth !! I will def be returning when it time for a new treatment . read more

Jay is lovely, courteous and a master of his trade. He is very attentive and offers fantastic input. I don't see myself going to a different hair stylist in Queens anytime soon. read more

Jay is great! Superior service and techniques for both men and women's hair. Interior very unique as well.

I've known them since last year (before opening this location) and they're really great!!!! They're very knowledgable in the field and really prioritize on customer satisfaction before anything else..I wouldn't go anywhere else even if I become a billionaire!lol read more
