TL;DR: Lowlights rock. I had been to Jackie's years ago when I used to travel more frequently to the northeast. This time I had some downtime and swung by for a trim. She asked whether I want to try something different and suggested lowlights - I had never heard of the term but figured they're like highlights, just less obvious. The first and last time I had had toned down my hair (highlights, actually) was 22 years ago, but the AI photo apps had all suggested recently that I go blonde, so I thought this may be a first step in that direction. She said how long it takes depends on the individual's hair but should take no more than an hour, and I was intrigued. I can do an hour. I told her I really don't want that overbleached, orangish yellow color, and she was on the same page. We were going to aim for a light brown, but that could mean any number of things, right? It came out a copper-bronze that adds just a touch of light around my face. The color looks more obvious in certain angles depending on how my hair is tousled or parted, and I love how it shows up more prominently in the under-layers of my hair and when I put it up in a bun! This is a result of her gathering my hair, then taking some away in a zigzag before bleaching what remained in hand. I really like that she made the bleached hair blend with my natural hair. Btw, she's pretty opinionated and has a lot of comments, but knows her stuff. If you've ever been scared about toning down your hair color, give lowlights a try! It's very affordable here even with the wash and cut afterward. I was here a total of 1:30 including my wash and cut, during which three people walked in. She had to turn them away since she was doing my hair; one person came back at a time she had told him. Glad to see that it's a happening place but that she takes walk-ins like I did :D read more

See all

Terrific hairdresser . Gives a great very short haircut. Go to for my hair dresser. Always gives advice about the cut you want.

Jackie was great! Gave me an amazing first real haircut out of quarantine and taught me a lot about my hair texture and the types of hairstyles that would work for my face structure and hair quality. Very easy to talk to and I'm glad I found her store (after mistakenly going to Jackie's hair salon nearby) Will definitely be back! read more

Jackie's Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

This might be best hair salon I have been to. It was really clean despite being open for over 9 years. Usually when you go to a hair salon there is hair on the floor, tools look pretty dirty. I asked her advice on how I should I cut my hair because I have elongated face. I'm very happy with the haircut she gave, and price wasn't overcharged. read more

i am not sure what happened between the first time i went and today but i can't honestly say i'll come back. i have been coming here through out the pandemic and was pretty content. as the place was clean n she wore a mask. the time before today, i noticed she was unhappy that i didn't let her do as she wanted with my hair but, i wasnt too concerned because i thought that artists want to express themselves. however, things went terribly wrong today and it was kind of a free for all with my hair. i showed her two photos a side shot and front shot n from having shoulder length hair i ended up looking like dora the explorer. when i mentioned i wasnt happy because she cut my hair too short n not like the photo she tried to style it but it didn't make a difference. then i asked her to js cut the back of the hair like an inverted bob and make it at least more stylish n not so frumpy and the picture below is what i was left with... she never fixed the back n i looked like i cut my own hair as i went home $55 later. read more

Jackie's Hair Studio - bad cut! the line is not straight n left me with a missing chunk n never said anything!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

I got a haircut a couple weeks ago and she was very nice, really wanted to make sure I was comfortable. Very clean and hygienic salon too! She wiped down the seat before I sat in it and she puts her tools in a sanitizing machine. At one point a comb fell on the floor and she took out another clean comb to continue with and put the old one to soak in cleaning solution. read more

I appreciated that Jackie did a consultation with me first--giving me lots of tips about hair care and things about my own hair texture that I didn't even know! Very satisfied with my hair cut. It feels much lighter and easier to manage. Thank you! read more

I came to this salon after reading positive yelp reviews, but I left feeling the worst I've ever felt about my hair. I was in search of a place closer to my house as I typically get my hair done down in the city and they are far from home and pretty expensive (although they do a great job). I am very easy going about my hair and have been to multiple salons, and have never had such a negative experience. When I first asked for a digital perm, Jackie convinced me to come to her salon by telling me that although she does not offer digital perms, she would be able to do my hair with her own method exactly like a digital perm, but that would cheaper and healthier for my hair, so I agreed to come. Upon a consultation, I showed her multiple photos of EXACTLY what I wanted done, and she consistently reassured me that she would be able to achieve the curl that I wanted. She asked me questions about when the last time I had colored and permed my hair, and I was honest with her. I cannot explain how I felt after she unraveled the rollers and I looked at my hair. My hair was 10 times more damaged than when I had walked into the salon, my hair retained no curls but instead had weird frizzy zig zag coils randomly throughout my hair. My hair was absolutely destroyed, crunchy, and stiff, looking NOTHING like the pictures of MYSELF I had shown her, and that she told me she could do. Even after that, she kept trying to insist that it was a "beachy wave" and that I should still pay her 200 dollars for her services. She started to blame my hair, telling me that I came to her salon with irreparable damaged hair, and that "of course" my hair wouldn't hold any curls given the condition it was in, and this was the best she could do. Why would you promise and agree to do my hair if this was the case? I would have never sat in that chair and gone through that appointment if she was honest about her abilities and what she could and could not do with my hair. When I started voicing my dissatisfaction, she started showing me all of her awards and her "full" appointment book, as if I am supposed to feel like what she did to my hair is justified because of her popularity...? Coming home, my hair is now coarse, straight, frizzy, and crunchy at the bottom. I have never left a hair salon with my hair in this shape. Jackie was easy to talk to, conversational and friendly, and I do not know of her cutting or coloring experience. However, for a perm, she has destroyed and damaged my beautifully colored hair that I got done at another hair salon, and my only choice now is to cut it off and start over. Do NOT go to her for a perm. read more

My boyfriend looked this place up and since it got good reviews I decided to get a haircut there. I wanted just to layer my hair on the front which is very simple... She said upfront that it was $45 but at the end asked $55. Was very disappointed...I dont care about that $10 but she was really sneaky to get more money. (She got tip too) Definitely not going back. read more

Took my gf in cuz she wanted to layer cut her front hair. Price on the menu says $45 for a cut and style. I asked how much is a cut and she quoted $45. After the cut she asks for $55 and then didnt offer me change for my $60 which was rude to assume the tip. Basically tipped herself and charged $10 extra cuz she felt like overcharging on a slow evening. Congrats on ripping us off over $10. We just moved to the neighborhood. Way to think long term. You just lost 2 potential long term customers. To be fair the haircut was fine. read more

She's a homophobe. I won't discount the validity of the 5-star reviews. I was fine with the haircut I received and she was chatty and friendly. Then for some reason she broached the subject of politics and the 2016 election (God knows why because it's not very professional) and told me she was ambivalent about supporting Hillary Clinton. She said as Koreans, "We can't support gay marriage and homosexuality." As a gay Korean American, I was mortified. If you support LGBT rights, then there's no way you can support a business like this. I certainly can't. Ask her yourself. read more

I've never tried this place. So, I was skeptical when I scheduled for a haircut. When I arrived, there was no line, as promised. She was a genuinely very warm lady. She asked how I wanted my hair to be cut, and styled it for me. She used to work at JCPenney inside the mall, and now her opened own store. Despite herself being Asian, most of her clients are not. This made me confident that she is well-versed, and not everyone walking out her place must look like an Asian pop star. I received quite a few hair compliments after the haircut. That pretty much seal the deal for a great Yelp review. Thanks, Jackie! read more

I was so grateful to see Jackie today for my first haircut in MONTHS! You know the feeling. My head and spirits are now such my lighter with a beautiful style, as always! We both wore masks, so that was good. She is a sole proprietor so it is just you and her in the space, so that was good for social distancing. Plus she is just such a cheerful person. If you are looking for a great haircut at a reasonable price, go. You will not be disappointed! read more

My friend and I had our first experience at Jackie's and definitely won't be our last. She was very thorough in making sure we got the hair styles we wanted and ensured the style suited our faces as well. I especially appreciated the fact that she was very vocal as she cut our hair so we knew what she was doing. Other places wouldn't say anything after you mention the style you want and you just end up with an unpleasant surprise. Jackie really cares about her customers and you walk out of her studio feeling that warmth. I hope you enjoy it too. read more

Everyone, get your haircut here! Really love my new hair - Such a fantastic, detailed haircut! She perfectly knows what she does!

I have been going to Jackie since I was a teenager and I can't imagine going to anyone else. She is incredibly talented and treats her work as an art. I trust her to make the best decision for cutting my hair that is best for my personal style, face shape, and hair growth. I recommend her to absolutely everyone! My whole family goes to her and my brothers and boyfriend love her too! We always get compliments on our looks because Jackie keeps our style fresh, unique, and beat for us. Jackie cuts men and women's hair very professionally and stylistically for an incredibly reasonable price. The studio is clean and has a vintage charm. She Jackie is a humble, generous women and an amazing artist read more

Nice owner - Jackie is an experienced hairstylist and very accommodating lady who squeezed me in for a hair trim at the last minute. What a nice lady. Cute salon - The salon is very charming and Jackie retained a lot of the old furniture from the barber shop that existed before. It reminds you a bit of the cute hair places in the East Village. The cut - I came in to get a hair trim and I emphasized that I wanted to keep as much of my length as I could. Jackie goes through great lengths explaining that she doesn't cut layers randomly and is very selective about what to cut. That said, I am not so crazy about the cut. I find the style a little dated. I am also 100% sure that she cut more than I instructed her to. Disappointing as I emphasized to her that I was very focused on length. read more

Great service and attention at this salon! Owner was very good with details about cutting my hair and knowledgeable about different hair types, textures and so forth! Would go back again! read more

Jackie has lots of experience and takes care of you. Shop itself doesn't have all the bells and whistles interior of other Broad ave hair salon but her hair cutting skill top notch. GIve her a try. read more

Great service and care for a reasonable price. Definitely worth the visit. The place used to be a barbershop that I frequented, so it's got that small town, old school vibe that is sometimes preferable to the nauseatingly fancy/expensive places that you typically see in Palisades Park. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Went to get my haircut with Jackie ! She is one of the best with a welcoming salon made me feel great! Her techniques with the scissors was amazing experience. Love her! ‍ read more

I found Jackie's by chance. I was meeting up with friends on my way back from work and I needed a haircut. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the yellow sign on the street and thought, "Meh why not." When I walked in she greeted me with a smile and showed me to the seat. After sitting down and taking my glasses off I explained the hair I wanted and she proceeded to cut my hair. While getting my hair cut, we talked about what went on in the world, what I did for a living, all around simple conversation. When she was done she picked up my glasses and put them in me so that I can see how it looked, just the way I liked it :D. Although she may not have the complementary services like shampooing or whatever, she provided the nicest and most professional experience I've had so far. I will continue to come here and recommend you do the same. read more

Jackie is a good hair stylist. Go to her for a cut and blow dry but DO NOT go for color. I went to get my hair colored and after repeating that I wanted color closer to my natural hue (dark brown) and no blond/bronze, well, alas, I look like an orange head. She had to do the processing twice and even then, it's horrible. read more

The owner is a very sweet and nice lady. She took a lot of time to explain my hair type and gave me tips on shampoos and leave in conditioners. My hair was pretty damaged from a bad dye job (elsewhere) so I had a significant amount cut off my long hair. I'm so not good at being assertive and it always shows when I get my hair done. I let her do her thing and it came out ok (although I sort of regret cutting so much off). That being said I really believe that $50 for a haircut regardless if I'm a woman or not should not be the standard. Sooo expensive hence minus 1 star. I might go back but I'm still searching for less expensive options. Meh.. in hindsight she was a nice lady and tried her best. So I'll make it 5 stars. read more

This is my second appointment with Jackie. My first appointment was for the Magic straight perm which I really like. My second appointment was a cut and color. I wanted to try something new so I got a some cool green and blue peek a boo highlights underneath. It's so fun to look at and I love it! read more

Jackie is the best! Been going to her for over a year now and I am always happy with the outcome. I typically get my hair permed but have gotten many hair cuts from Jackie and I recieve many compliments. Jackie has worked in this industry for many years and with various types of hair that she has a great sense in which direction to go when I feel lost with settling for a hairstyle. She's friendly, experienced, prices are reasonable. What more can you ask for? read more

My hair was a matted mess, she made it so much better just w a hair cut! Also was very pleasant and knowledgeable sharing product tips and other ways to keep hair healthy with me! Highly recommended read more

Jackie is just plain awesome. She totally made me feel comfortable, and gave me a great haircut! I booked my next appointment right after. read more

This was my first ever salon haircut, I had a great experience. Jackie listened to my ideas and answered all my questions, putting my mind at ease. We had a great conversation and I'm so excited about the new style I have now. Thank you! read more

Amazing haircuts!!! Best place I've found in the NYC/NJ area. I'm always able to walk in and get a quick, great quality cut whenever I need it. Jackie is awesome!!! read more

Jackie is amazing, she has very good eyes, she would take time to communicate and understand what my style is before she starts cutting. Doing hair styling is her passion!! She's the best hair stylist I have ever come across since I moved here 15 years ago !! read more

I have been here a couple of times for a simple cut, but my last visit was an amazing experience. Rather than going for my usual, normal cut... I asked for something different. I got something different that was still simple and still me. I have never been happier with a haircut! I feel like everyday has been a good hair day for me... Simply perfect! read more

Good haircut. Took enough time with me and treated my hair well. I don't color my hair so can not comment on that service.

Such a great hair salon! I have only been twice but i have loved my hair cut and the level of service they offer. Definitely check it out!

She was nice but I don't think she knows how to cut hair for females. She's one of those hair dressers that doesn't care what you say and will tell you this or that will look better and when you argue she does it anyway....my hair ended up uneven with choppy layers. And my sister who had really long hair now has choppy layers that only go a little past her shoulders.......we both went in asking for a trim and light layers. Oh also when she washed my sisters really long hair she didn't use conditioner... which meant my sister sat in the chair while she brushed out her majorly tangled hair... it was so odd. I would not recommend this place. read more

With so many different hair dressers in the area, it's very difficult to choose the right one that suits my style exactly the way I want. I must say I tried at least eight different shops and more than a dozen of different stylists before settling on Jackie's Hair Studio. Jackie actually looks at her clients' head/face shape and provides custom styling that fits each person well rather than do a cookie-cutter style on everyone that may or may not look so great depending on the individual's unique features. Also, if I bring a picture of a style I like, I noticed that a lot of dressers glance at it for a couple of seconds and eventually the finished style has no resemblance of the person in the picture; Jackie looks at the picture thoroughly and asks to show the picture again later in the process so that she can precisely bring out the style that I wish. While this shop doesn't offer the luxurious/modern look & feel or amenities (i.e. - complimentary hot tea and massages during shampoo) like some of the other larger shops provide - at the end of the day, at least for me, it's the style that matters more than the services. Bottom line: if you normally enjoy and expect the "clientele treatment" from your hair dresser, maybe this studio isn't for you. But if you'd prefer to spend less and get a hair style that will last you for another few weeks (guys) to months (women), then it might be worthwhile to make a visit here the next time you need a haircut. read more

I always had the same long hair for years and years. Today I was in the neighborhood visiting my office up north and decided to make a big decision to change my hairstyle. With Jackie s expertise in the hair design, I am very happy with my very first short hair and no maintenance style! Will definitely go back. Thank you so much Jackie! It was nice meeting you too. read more

I love my new haircut! Jackie is a master at her craft and truly has a passion about making her clients look beautiful and in line with whichever profession they have. She is also very kind, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. She took the time to have a hair consultation, explaining what hair style would work and answering my questions before skillfully cutting my hair. She believes that hair is not one size fits all, and that hair should match each person's face specifically and naturally. I am so glad I trusted her with my hair. I can honestly say this was the best hair styling experience I've had in a very long time. I will definitely be back and will recommend her to my friends. read more
