    Roseley I.

    I've visited Jamilah Studio several times for various braiding styles, and I've never been disappointed with the service or the final result. The braiders are always friendly and professional, creating a welcoming environment that I truly appreciate. The shop is well-maintained, and everyone is incredibly attentive. The complimentary snacks and coffee are a thoughtful touch, especially considering the time clients spend here. This is hands down my go-to salon for braiding. Thank you, Jamilah Beauty Studio!

    My daughters braids
    Simone S.

    I have very mixed feelings about this salon. Did I get my hair done as requested....yes. Was it correct...yes...kinda. If you are just going off those two things this place is great. But let's get to the real experience. *I will also precursor and say I can braid hair as well.* 1. Booking I booked them off their Instagram content. So I book my appt and post my deposit. After I decide to do my daughters hair too. There are only 2 styles listed in their website for kids, so I wanted to verify cost before booking. I send a message on IG to the page. I reached out on a Thursday and she responded the same day. However It wasn't until the following Tuesday that I was finally able to get the appt booked because she'd just stop responding which is frustrating. I finally called her. She apologized cause I was annoyed and said she is best by call, but she had my number the entire time. 2. Day of Got there at 9. Our hair was started promptly. I requested my hair be pre washed in apple cider vinegar to avoid irritation. The fact I was asked again what color and I saw them pull it out the bag said they didn't do it. Thankfully I carried my daughters hair because she has very sensitive scalp and I've had to take down styles in 3 days if not pre washed. I was told it would take 5-6 hrs. LIES. Started at 930 and I didn't leave until 530. No breaks were taken. Also my stylist was told multiple times to ease up on her grip and tension. Let's say, I cannot put my braids up because they are tight. And they have some tool they use to part and that ish is sharp as hell. I had to tell her not to use it. But then she would scrape my scalp with the rat tail comb parting the same place 20x. My daughter had ZERO issues, her stylist was absolutely amazing. 3. The space I know covid shots are being given, but covid is still real. There is a Barber in the back who stays full with at least 2/3 people waiting at a time. I counted 4 men who just walked in with NO MASK ON. Carried on conversation while waiting as well. NO ONE TOLD THEM ANYTHING. It made me very uncomfortable. I only saw one braider wipe down her station after her client with disinfecting wipes. 4. Cost These braids arent cheap. Mine came out smaller than I expected for medium. My daughters, she charged me for extra length (they went to her bottom) but I never asked for them that long. In fact when I came in I said she's 11, I don't want ass braids. But because of how she stretched the hair to keep the color they got very long. Because the stylist was so good with her and I was just tired and ready to go, I just paid it. They take payment via Zelle. Overall I got what I requested. But the lax covid protocols, the inability to not braid tight, and the time it took to do our hair, I would think twice about returning. And not using my same person. Yes to my daughters tho.

    I showed up 15 mins early and was seen right on time. My stylist already had my hair prepped and she was very prompt and all the ladies were welcoming. They confirmed my style multiple times (which I liked) and from there my stylist worked nonstop and was able to get my hair done in under the estimated time. Shoutout to Anta! Only going to her from now on.

    I've been a loyal customer since this shop opened, and I've always been pleased with my hair. The excellent customer service, clean salon and professional staff keep me coming back. The braiders are incredibly friendly. I got my braids done on July 21st, and it is now September 4th, they're still looking great. Thank you Jamilahbeautystudio

    i just want to say that first off, the receptionist is a sweetheart! she was so nice and kind. The place is clean, I loved that it was very quiet , it wasn't loud talking or anything. my braider never stopped to eat or talk . she was so professional the entire time. the braids came out beautiful!

Appointments became rushed, started late, and lacked even basic professionalism. You're barely greeted when you walk in, and the overall tone makes it feel like you're inconveniencing them just by being there. I told them multiple times I had a head injury from a concussion and the lack of care was very concerning how abrasively they washed and handled my head. My most recent appointment was a complete failure. I asked for a warm, golden brown and came prepared with multiple reference photos. While the color was processing, I clearly flagged that it was pulling purple. That concern was dismissed, and the product was left on longer. The result was the darkest my hair has ever been, almost black with a cool, purple hue. The exact opposite of what I requested. The color job is all mismatched, the lower part of my hair significantly darker, the roots are sloppy and uneven. When I pointed this out, the response was defensive and dismissive. At one point, I was sarcastically asked if I wanted to "bleach it," which is an inappropriate and careless suggestion for already fine hair. It was mind blowing to have this handled so poorly and then be rushed through a cut that does not look anywhere close to the quality of the past cuts. I followed up requesting a refund, given that this will take months to correct and fade, and received no response for over 48 hours. It's not even about the money - it's about the severe lack of respect. What's most surprising is that this level of defensiveness and lack of accountability was unacceptable, especially after such a grave mistake. Instead of thoughtful adjustment and ownership, the response was dismissive in the moment and silent afterward. Mistakes happen. How they're handled is what defines a business. This was not handled well. NYC has no shortage of salons that can deliver both technical skill and professionalism. This is not one of them. Updating this with a pic and additional NYC HAIR SALON SEO terms so future customers are warned since the salon has decided to block me after no satisfactory resolution. The pic at the top right was me pre-hair f*** up. Only come to this salon if you'd like to come home and cry.

This was their "best advice for me" and that I should come back and get both together. I only needed a haircut and this was the only chance I got (I am a SAHM with 2 kids and minimal backup except this day) so I said I would consider it but I need a cut now. It was 6 months since my last. That must have just not been the right thing to say bc I was judged, insulted during the entire session and I got the worst haircut of my life. I can't even get it fixed because it is so much shorter than I wanted. There are huge "texture" discrepancies all over my hair, the most obvious being in the back near my neck. There's also a strand of hair far longer than the entire length of my bob cut. I don't even understand how this happened. I'm so traumatized. I would never recommend this place and will never ever come back. I really had 1 chance to get a cut as a treat to myself, since I really don't have extra time to spare. And now I have to live with this until it grows out, definitely more than 6 more months. If I could give -1000 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and find a salon that can do a nice cut for long AND SHORT hair. WITHOUT A PERM TO MAKE IT ALL STRAIGHT FIRST. The skill level here is just so sub par. I could have done it myself.

I haven't cut my hair in 6 months and I have really long straight natural hair so you can say it is a blank canvas. This is probably one of the worst haircut I have gotten in years compared to other places that are in different price ranges. Leaving the salon it looked good styled but when I went home to wash it and had more time to look without it curled I saw really choppy layers and the length is much shorter than i wanted. For a cut I paid $107-110 not including tips and expected a decent cut for that amount. Truly disappointing as holidays are coming up and I have been wearing a hat to cover up, cannot wait for this to grow out but will take months. Ara was really sweet and nice but I don't think the skills were there.

He's definitely a professional and knows what he's doing especially when it comes to dying/bleach/toning and cutting short Asian hair to fit my face shape. I rarely need to tell him to fix or that I'm not satisfied with my hair; I trust his process and he's never failed me.
