Customer service: 5 Wait time: 5 Price: 5 Outcome: 5 Location: 5 Ambience: 5 Total: 5 How often does an establishment get a perfect 5? I enjoyed my time at this salon. Very clean, professional, and affordable. The salon has a modern look and is very spacious. It's right on the corner of a major road, so you can't miss it. Mea worked on my hair. She recommended what hair treatment I should get, gave the best head message of my life, and made great conversation. In short I loved the outcome of my hair.

You ever go into a salon & you feel the shade and cattiness? not at JAKARI J girl! They made me feel so comfortable and confident! All the other stylists were funny, and biggiing me up i felt like their friend. Their silk presses are afordable and theyre very knowlegable and caring on Natural hair. Summer!! Summer is the best she used peppermint shampoo and massaged my scalp so good i was born again. She was so sweet ! The jamaican sister with the short curly fro too! She does color and weaves and she made me feel like that BITCH they accept all forms of payment and always have walk in availabilities on their IG JakariJSalon

Before and after. I'm sorry, I can't allow Yelp to see me looking so rugged lol

A year later and I am still a patron of Jakari J salon. Since my first visit, I have been nothing but pleased. Shanel (the owner and master stylist) continues to style my hair most of the time however, I have used the other stylists and they are just as great. Since my first cut, I have also had a weave done by Shanel that lasted for quite sometime. She is versatile and amazing at her craft. Before coming to Jakari J, I was almost ashamed to wear my natural hair without any sort of weave or extensions. I felt ugly and less confident when wearing my natural hair, no matter if it were permed or hot combed. However, Shanel brought life to my hair. She puts a lot of pride and effort into your service to make you look and feel magnificent. And even on days when I thought I could go a month and a half without perming my hair and expect her to cut it the same way after I JUST washed it (I know I needed a wake up call), she still came up with a fix that was laidddddddddd for an event I had to attend. I love my hair now! It's healthy and continues to show growth with every appointment I attend. The staff are awesome, very personable, friendly and professional. Although I've moved quite far from the salon within the past year, I still come back because I have not found another salon that compares to the service, care, and quality I receive here. Still, highly recommended!

Ignore how tired I look but this was an amazing experience especially since this was the first time I visited with a last-minute appointment. I needed a natural hair salon in Queens because I had bad heat damage and bleach damage. Tammi was very efficient (no waiting even on a holiday weekend), very personable, and knew how to bring my hair back to life. It was pouring yesterday and my hair still looks fresh in the photos (my curls just dropped). I will definitely be coming back when I visit home.

A fierce Salon!!!! It you want super duper vibrant color and loving care to your hair... come here... I enjoy the environment and I love everyone there... very kind, helpful and talented... Raquel @roxiirock_hair is my go to for vibrant color... I come all the way from New Jersey for her artistry... the compliments I get after a service are PLENTIFUL!

Happy Client

Being a guy who typically get Cesars, this was my very first time at a Salon for myself and I couldn't have had a better experience. The beautiful people who work here keep a smile on your face and the background music reasets the tone and really keeps you engaged while your waiting for your hair to be done. I had the pleasure of being helped by Mea. She was very attentive and extremely charming. I showed her an image of cornroll inspiration and she excited it better than I anticipated. I will definitely be recommending friEnds and family - and of course I will be back for more braiding and poorer totally doing color as well since they have such a talented group of stylists here. - Travis V

I had to update my review when I saw the negative posts about my stylist. Akelia has been my stylist for over four years. She has done various styles for me: weaves, braids, ponytails, silk press, rod sets, etc. She is a master stylist. I trust her with my hair more than I trust myself. If she ever leaves Jakari J, then I leave Jakari J. I cannot speak about Akelia's professionalism because she has become a friend to me, so we speak freely with each other. However, as a professional, I understand the various expectations a customer might have when they patronize a business - especially for the price of Jakari J's services. If Akelia does not consistently meet the minimum professional business standard then she should improve. Nonetheless, I stand by her talent, her skills and the quality of her work.

@shanelthehairstylist same cut styled differently- Shanel is creatively dope! #pixie love

This review is long overdue! The service, quality, punctuality of talent, and ambiance of is beyond exceptional. From the attention to detail, the diverse services and skill level of each stylist - Jakari J Salon is truly in a league of its own. I am a regular client, that visits weekly- I am well cared for beyond measure. I LOOOVE my stylist Shanel (IG @shanelthehairstylist). Shanel is a dope stylist; she is honest, kind, and patient. Not only in her salon is she a savvy fearless business woman that is always educating her team/ clients but her community she actively serves as a true leader. The attention to detail, the product and hair care knowledge that Shanel as well as her team imparts is truly invaluable. Words truly can not express my gratitude and deep love for this team. If you are in a need of a trusted stylist, I strongly without reservation recommend Jakari J salon- there is a stylist there to suit all your hair care needs. All the stylist hold their own in skill, talent, and personality: Raquel (IG @roxiirock_hair) will turn out your color to perfection Taylor ( IG@taylorddd._) will expertly craft your braids Hesay (IG@hesayshesay) will coil curl and/or silk press your hair to goddess level Shanel (IG@shanelthehairstylist) will expertly precisely cut and healthiful nurture your tresses into unbelievable beauty MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY!!! What are you waiting for?!

I will follow Akelia to literally anywhere she goes. I'm very very self conscious and sensitive about my natural hair condition she always makes me feel comfortable and eases my anxiety. She has been my stylist for almost 3 years now and I have never received more compliments on my hair since her. I work on-camera for film and tv and the hair department constantly asked who does my hair. I wear a full closure weave and they are always shocked how natural it looks and how long her work last. She always makes sure her clients leave looking like a million bucks no wonder whys she's constantly booked up.

The front of my hair is straight.

The 1st time I came to the salon, I went to get a silk press, wash and trim. I had a 9:30 appointment and I didn't walk out until 1:30 p.m. The 2nd time the I went there I want to get a ponytail. It took the stylist 3 hours to wash my hair, flat iron it, and give me a ponytail. The third time I went there I want to get a bun. I had a 10:15 appointment that I was early for an I didn't end up walking out to almost 3:00 p.m. A week later I took down the bun only to realize that my hair had significant heat damage. Staff is very friendly and very apologetic which they have to be because they know that they're overbooked and clients have to wait a very long time period. Besides the wait time, I didn't really have problem with the salon until my hair could not revert back to its curly texture because of this heat damage.

I have been going to this salon for almost two years now. My hair has undergone a major transformation thanks to my stylist Issay. When I talk about growing hands....!!! Not too mention the body and bounce from my silk press every single time! In addition to being a bomb stylist, I just want to add that Issay has the biggest heart ever and really cares about making clients feel beautiful inside and out. So glad I found this gem.

Shanel and my newly dyed offspring.

My daughter told me that she wanted a new look. She wanted to dye her hair black...on one side and red on the other! There was only one place to take her to get this done. JAKARI J's (yes, I just yelled that)! Have you seen their Instagram pix of their dye jobs!?? FLAWLESS! My daughter is very happy with how her hair came out and I love it as well. Shanel and her staff are all masters at what they do. I feel lucky to have Jakari J and the quality and service they provide in my neck of the woods and not have to go out to Manhattan to get our hairs did!

Loving my pixie cut. Thank you ISSAY!!!

Ask the Community - Jakari J Salon

Hey I'm a guy with 3C hair looking to get Cornrows with added hair for length. Who should I see to get this done? I'm thinking Omarion 2019 braids/bun combo.

I believe Taylor or Tymea might be the best people but you should call and setup a consult first.

Does any worker knows how to do dreads and if so how much is it?

Yes, there is a stylist that can dread or maintain dreaded hair- call salon for consultation and pricing.

I'm interested in getting box braids. Who do you suppose is the stylist at this salon who can best do that?

Taylor

I don't make many reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience with Vivian. I've been going…read morehere for over 3 years. My first visit, I never had lashes done before and Vivi not only explained the process, but helped me pick what would look best on my eye shape. The prices are reasonable and Vivi also allows free corrections if you have any discomfort. It's always clean. Everyone has licenses showing they are qualified. They also make it comfortable with music, blankets, and easy communication. I don't take lightly to allowing someone to put glue near my eyeball, so I genuinely trust and can't recommend Vivi more. If you go on the weekend, plan on making an appointment, but during the week they can usually fit walk ins with a short wait. If you are thinking about trying lashes, trust Vivian. I've experimented different styles. Also, it's important they put the lashes INDIVIDUALLY one by one on your natural lashes. Places often put them on your eyelid that's faster but how you get an infection. Vivian doesn't cut corners and genuinely is so kind and talented. I hope this helps give some more insight! Also they recommend every 2 weeks refill, but I've found 3-4 weeks is totally fine. I added pics of 2 different styles I do often depending on my mood. One natural one volume. Hope this helps! (PS parking can be annoying because it's off the main road so plan on walking a little)

I got the feeling that she really cares about her craft and helping her clients not just look great but feel good also. I can't recall the name of the tech that did my a classic lash extensions but she did a wonderful job and took her time. Vivian kept checking on the tech's work throughout the process. I came across this place through a Groupon promo and I'm so glad I gave it a try. I HIGHLY recommend this spa and I'm looking forward to trying their other services.

The service and quality is always consistent. There is the change of technicians that may happen from time to time but that is the nature of operating a small business. What's impressive is the quality and service is consistently of high standard! I have always been satisfied with the results. They prioritize customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this place!

I absolutely LOVE Leann and my lashes every time I go to her. I first started getting eyelash…read moreextensions from around 2015 and have tried a few different places until I found Leann. I would drive out of my way just to see Leann because I only trusted her. 1.5 years ago, I moved to Austin, TX and have tried multiple studios but have yet to find someone as good as Leann. I came back to visit NYC and decided to see her new shop and nothing has changed!! She is not only FAST but the quality is amazing. My lashes always last at least 3-4 weeks and it's so much more affordable than the studios in Texas. I'm sad that I don't have access to Leann more readily but I highly recommend her to anyone !! She is WORTH the drive or commute !! Not only that, she is so sweet and won't harm your natural lashes. She's honest with me and let's me know when I may need to take a break from extensions as well. I would call ahead and schedule an appointment because she definitely fills up fast
