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~

First time coming to this salon! Service was very straightforward and gently curt. I walked in and…read moregot my hair washed right away. The woman who was washing my hair was in no rush to get it done and it was very soothing. Note worth taking was she shampooed my hair twice which no other salon I have ever been to have done before. She took her time with me and I appreciated that. Jenny cut my hair and I will be requesting her from now on. She did a great job and was very detailed with my hair.

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!

Oh my god, I went in with the possibility of getting my hair chopped off. I got my hair chopped…read moreoff. Went from virgin black Asian hair to platinum with lavender accents. I basically have a really cool faux hawk and I feel like a real silver unicorn. I've been toying with this idea for a while because I wanted a more androgynous or nonbinary look to present myself and feel good about myself. And for someone who doesn't feel good about themselves often, I feel fantastic! In particular, Lisa is hands-down amazing sauce. I first spoke with her via Yelp and then I went in the next day. I'm not in a good place financially, and Lisa worked with me to accommodate that. It was a lot of work and took all afternoon, but it was totally worth the money, time, and a burning head. Lisa turned things around when she noticed it wasn't exactly what I wanted due to a mutual misunderstanding. I was impressed by her willingness to do that and talent to do that. My hair is temperamental and does not like color. Lisa got it on the first shot, and I am so happy with it. Highly recommend this salon, and I highly, highly recommend Lisa. She said she loves doing fun things like this, so if you're looking for a really edgy or colorful look, ask for Lisa! She's warm, talented, and patient.

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.

Now it's looks like cotton candy single prrocces on top and still messy uneven brassy patches on the both sides !

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 decided to give it a try because I wanted to get one of the treatments for my hair. The staff was super nice and welcoming. They also kept to my appointment schedule which I appreciated. Nobody likes waiting around when they have a scheduled appointment. The only downside was that it was a bit on the pricey side. However, it's convenient to have a salon nearby that offers the services I was searching for. Overall, I had a positive first experience with the staff and appreciated their professionalism.

LOLOLOL I gave a 5 star rating to a Supercuts in San Diego and a Hair Cuttery in Gaithersburg,…read moreGigi. I'll even post those reviews here. Just admit it was a terrible job. I've had $20 cuts better than the $100 I spent on someone ignoring my photos and going full Edward Scissorhands on my head. Screwing up people's hair for $100 then saying they have to pay $90 to fix it is a scam. Berating people's hair quality because they don't use your Aveda product is a scam. Bribing clients with discounts for positive reviews is a scam, and flooding your yelp page with fake reviews is a scam. I reached out to you privately and professionally first via email. I requested to speak to you directly and you never returned my calls. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves and welcome people to check out my reviews and contact me directly (or even meet up for coffee if you want to see the back of my head). I genuinely wish I had read the google reviews of your salon before coming in. I also encourage everyone else to look at your multiple fake 5 star reviews from people with no profile picture and only a single review of your salon. Gigi Salon encourages people to post positive reviews in exchange for a 10% discount on products. Stack the deck much?

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.

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.
